Joshua 8
1 And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'Fear not, neither be thou dismayed; take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land.
Iza toga reèe Gospod Isusu: ne boj se i ne plaši se; uzmi sa sobom sav narod što je za boj, pa ustani i idi na Gaj; evo predadoh ti u ruke cara Gajskoga i narod njegov i grad njegov i zemlju njegovu.
2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king; only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves; set thee an ambush for the city behind it.'
I uèini s Gajem i carem njegovijem kako si uèinio s Jerihonom i njegovijem carem; ali plijen iz njega i stoku njegovu razgrabite za se. Namjesti zasjedu iza grada.
3 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai; and Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valour, and sent them forth by night.
I usta Isus i sav narod što bješe za boj, da idu na Gaj; i izabra Isus trideset tisuæa junaka, i posla ih noæu;
4 And he commanded them, saying: 'Behold, ye shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city; go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready.
I zapovjedi im govoreæi: gledajte vi koji æete biti u zasjedi iza grada, da ne budete vrlo daleko od grada, nego budite svi gotovi.
5 And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city; and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them.
A ja i sav narod što je sa mnom primaknuæemo se ka gradu; pa kad oni izidu pred nas, mi æemo kao i prije pobjeæi ispred njih.
6 And they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say: They flee before us, as at the first; so we will flee before them.
Te æe oni poæi za nama dokle ih ne odvojimo od grada, jer æe reæi: bježe ispred nas kao i prije. I mi æemo bježati ispred njih.
7 And ye shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city; for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
Tada vi izidite iz zasjede i istjerajte iz grada što bude ostalo. Jer æe vam ga dati Gospod Bog vaš u ruke.
8 And it shall be, when ye have seized upon the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of the LORD shall ye do; see, I have commanded you.'
A kad uzmete grad, zapalite ga ognjem; po rijeèi Gospodnjoj uèinite. Eto, zapovjedio sam vam.
9 And Joshua sent them forth; and they went to the ambushment, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
Tako ih posla Isus, i oni otidoše u zasjedu, i stadoše izmeðu Vetilja i Gaja, sa zapada Gaju; a Isus prenoæi onu noæ meðu narodom.
10 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
A ujutru usta Isus rano i prebroji narod, pa poðe sa starješinama Izrailjevijem pred narodom na Gaj.
11 And all the people, even the men of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai — now there was a valley between him and Ai.
I sva vojska što bješe s njim poðe i primakavši se doðoše prema gradu i stadoše u oko sa sjevera Gaju; a bijaše dolina izmeðu njih i Gaja.
12 And he took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai.
I uze oko pet tisuæa ljudi, i namjesti ih u zasjedu izmeðu Vetilja i Gaja, sa zapada gradu Gaju.
13 So the people set themselves in array, even all the host that was on the north of the city, their rear lying in wait on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the vale.
I kad se namjesti sav narod, sva vojska, što bijaše sa sjevera gradu i što bijaše u zasjedi sa zapada gradu, izide Isus onu noæ usred doline.
14 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hastened and rose up early and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, in front of the Arabah; but he knew not that there was an ambush against him behind the city.
I kad to vidje car Gajski, ljudi u gradu pohitješe i uraniše; i izidoše onaj èas u polje pred Izrailja u boj, car i sav narod njegov. A ne znaðaše da ima zasjeda za njim iza grada.
15 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
Tada Isus i sav Izrailj, kao da ih pobiše, nagoše bježati k pustinji.
16 And all the people that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them; and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
A oni sazvaše sav narod što bješe u gradu da ih tjeraju. I tjeraše Isusa, i odvojiše se od svoga grada.
17 And there was not a man left in Ai or Beth-el, that went not out after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
I ne osta niko u Gaju ni u Vetilju da ne poðe za Izrailjem; i ostaviše grad otvoren, i tjerahu Izrailja.
18 And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand.' And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.
Tada reèe Gospod Isusu: digni zastavu što ti je u ruci prema Gaju, jer æu ti ga dati u ruke. I podiže Isus zastavu što mu bješe u ruci prema gradu.
19 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and entered into the city, and took it; and they hastened and set the city on fire.
A oni što bijahu u zasjedi odmah ustaše sa svojega mjesta, i potrèaše èim on podiže ruku svoju, i uðoše u grad i uzeše ga, i brzo zapališe grad ognjem.
20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way; and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
A kad se Gajani obazreše, a to dim od grada dizaše se do neba, i ne imahu kuda bježati ni tamo ni amo; a narod koji bježaše u pustinju povrati se na one koji ga tjerahu.
21 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned back, and slew the men of Ai.
I Isus i sav Izrailj vidjevši da je zasjeda njihova uzela grad i gdje se diže dim od grada, vratiše se i udariše na Gajane.
22 And the other came forth out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side; and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
A oni iz grada izidoše pred njih, te bijahu meðu Izrailjcima odovud i odonud, i pobiše ih tako da nijedan ne osta živ niti uteèe.
23 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
A cara Gajskoga uhvatiše živa i dovedoše k Isusu.
24 And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, even in the wilderness wherein they pursued them, and they were all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
A kad pobiše Izrailjci sve Gajane u polju, u pustinji, kuda ih goniše, i padoše svi od oštroga maèa, te se istrijebiše, onda se vratiše svi Izrailjci u Gaj, i isjekoše što još bješe u njemu oštrijem maèem.
25 And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
A svijeh što izgiboše onaj dan, i ljudi i žena, bješe dvanaest tisuæa, samijeh Gajana.
26 For Joshua drew not back his hand, wherewith he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
I Isus ne spusti ruke svoje, koju bješe podigao sa zastavom, dokle ne pobiše sve stanovnike Gajske.
27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which He commanded Joshua.
Samo stoku i plijen iz grada onoga razgrabiše Izrailjci za se, kao što bješe Gospod zapovjedio Isusu.
28 So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap for ever, even a desolation, unto this day.
I Isus spali Gaj, i obrati ga u gomilu vjeènu, i u pustoš do današnjega dana.
29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the eventide; and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his carcass down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised thereon a great heap of stones, unto this day.
A cara Gajskoga objesi na drvo i ostavi do veèera; a o zahodu sunèanom zapovijedi Isus te skidoše tijelo njegovo s drveta i baciše pred vrata gradska, i nabacaše na nj veliku gomilu kamenja, koja stoji i danas.
30 Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD, the God of Israel, in mount Ebal,
Tada Isus naèini oltar Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevu na gori Evalu,
31 as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, upon which no man had lifted up any iron; and they offered thereon burnt-offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace-offerings.
Kao što bješe zapovjedio Mojsije sluga Gospodnji sinovima Izrailjevim, kao što piše u knjizi zakona Mojsijeva, oltar od cijeloga kamenja, preko kojega nije prevuèeno gvožðe; i prinesoše na njemu žrtve paljenice Gospodu, i prinesoše žrtve zahvalne.
32 And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote before the children of Israel.
I prepisa ondje na kamenju zakon Mojsijev, koji je napisao sinovima Izrailjevijem.
33 And all Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger as the home-born; half of them in front of mount Gerizim and half of them in front of mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.
I sav Izrailj i starješine njegove i upravitelji i sudije njegove stadoše s obje strane kovèega, prema sveštenicima Levitima, koji nošahu kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega, i stranac i domorodac; polovina prema gori Garizinu a polovina prema gori Evalu, kao što bješe zapovjedio Mojsije sluga Gospodnji da blagoslovi narod Izrailjev najprije.
34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
I potom proèita sve rijeèi zakona, blagoslov i prokletstvo, sve kako je napisano u knjizi zakona.
35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that walked among them.
Ne bi ni jedne rijeèi od svega što je Mojsije napisao, koje ne proèita Isus pred svijem zborom Izrailjevim, i ženama i djecom i strancima koji iðahu meðu njima.
