Joshua 24
1 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before Elohim.
Józue je vse Izraelove rodove zbral v Sihem in dal poklicati po Izraelove starešine, po njihove poglavarje, po njihove sodnike in po njihove častnike in postavili so se pred Bogom.
2 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith YHWH Elohim of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, [even] Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other elohim.
Józue je vsemu ljudstvu rekel: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Vaši očetje so v starih časih prebivali na drugi strani vèleréke, torej Terah, Abrahamov oče in Nahórjev oče in služili drugim bogovom.
3 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
Vzel sem vašega očeta Abrahama iz druge strani vèleréke in ga vodil skozi vso kánaansko deželo in pomnožil njegovo seme in mu dal Izaka.
4 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
Izaku sem dal Jakoba in Ezava. Ezavu sem dal gorovje Seír, da ga vzame v last, toda Jakob in njegovi otroci so odšli dol v Egipt.
5 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.
Poslal sem tudi Mojzesa in Arona in Egipt udaril z nadlogami, glede na to, kar sem storil med njimi in potem sem vas privedel ven.
6 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.
Vaše očete sem privedel iz Egipta in prišli ste k morju. Egipčani so vaše očete zasledovali z bojnimi vozovi in konjeniki do Rdečega morja.
7 And when they cried unto YHWH, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.
Ko so klicali h Gospodu, je med vas in Egipčane postavil temo in nadnje privedel morje in jih pokril. Vaše oči so videle, kar sem storil v Egiptu in v divjini ste prebivali dolgo obdobje.
8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
Privedel sem vas v deželo Amoréjcev, ki so prebivali na drugi strani Jordana. Borili so se z vami in izročil sem jih v vašo roko, da bi lahko vzeli v last njihovo deželo in uničil sem jih izpred vas.
9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:
Potem je Balák, Cipórjev sin, moábski kralj, vstal in se bojeval zoper Izrael in poslal ter poklical Beórjevega sina Bileáma, da vas prekolne,
10 But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.
toda nisem hotel prisluhniti Bileámu, zato vas je mirno blagoslovil. Tako sem vas osvobodil iz njegove roke.
11 And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand.
Odšli ste čez Jordan in prišli do Jerihe. Zoper vas so se borili možje iz Jerihe [in] Amoréjci, Perizéjci, Kánaanci, Hetejci, Girgašéjci, Hivéjci in Jebusejci in izročil sem jih v vašo roko.
12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, [even] the two kings of the Amorites; [but] not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.
Pred vami sem poslal sršena, ki jih je pregnal izpred vas, celó dva kralja Amoréjcev, toda ne s tvojim mečem niti ne s tvojim lokom.
13 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.
Dal sem vam deželo, za katero se niste trudili in mesta, ki jih niste zgradili, in vi prebivate v njih in jeste od vinogradov in oljčnih nasadov, ki jih niste sadili.‹
14 Now therefore fear YHWH, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the elohim which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye YHWH.
Zdaj se torej bojte Gospoda in mu služite v iskrenosti in resnici in odstranite bogove, ki so jim služili vaši očetje na drugi strani vèleréke in v Egiptu in služite Gospodu.
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve YHWH, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the elohim which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the elohim of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve YHWH.
Če pa se vam to zdi zlo, da služite Gospodu, ta dan izberite komu boste služili: ali bogovom, ki so jim služili vaši očetje, ki so bili na drugi strani vèleréke, ali bogovom Amoréjcev, v čigar deželi prebivate. Toda kar se tiče mene in moje hiše, mi bomo služili Gospodu.«
16 And the people answered and said, far be it from us that we should forsake YHWH, to serve other elohim;
Ljudstvo je odgovorilo in reklo: »Bog ne daj, da bi zapustili Gospoda, da služimo drugim bogovom,
17 For YHWH our Elohim, he [it is] that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:
kajti Gospod, naš Bog, on je ta, ki je nas in naše očete privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele, iz hiše sužnosti in ki je storil ta velika znamenja v našem pogledu in nas varoval po vsej poti, po kateri smo šli, in med vsem ljudstvom, skozi katero smo šli.
18 And YHWH drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: [therefore] will we also serve YHWH; for he [is] our Elohim.
Gospod je izpred nas pregnal vse ljudstvo, celo Amoréjce, ki prebivajo v deželi. Zato bomo tudi služili Gospodu, kajti on je naš Bog.«
19 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve YHWH: for he [is] an holy Elohim; he [is] a jealous Elohim; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
Józue je rekel ljudstvu: »Ne morete služiti Gospodu, kajti on je svet Bog; ljubosumen Bog je; ne bo odpustil vaših prestopkov niti vaših grehov.
20 If ye forsake YHWH, and serve strange elohim, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.
Če zapustite Gospoda in služite tujim bogovom, potem se bo obrnil in vas prizadel in vas použil, potem ko vam je storil dobro.«
21 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve YHWH.
Ljudstvo je Józuetu reklo: »Ne, temveč bomo služili Gospodu.«
22 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye [are] witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you YHWH, to serve him. And they said, [We are] witnesses.
Józue je ljudstvu rekel: »Vi ste priče zoper vas same, da ste izbrali Gospoda, da mu služite.« Rekli so: » Mi smo priče.«
23 Now therefore put away, [said he], the strange elohim which [are] among you, and incline your heart unto YHWH Elohim of Israel.
»Zdaj torej odstranite, « je rekel, »tuje bogove, ki so med vami in svoje srce nagnite h Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu.«
24 And the people said unto Joshua, YHWH our Elohim will we serve, and his voice will we obey.
Ljudstvo je Józuetu reklo: » Gospodu, našemu Bogu, bomo služili in njegov glas bomo ubogali.«
25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
Tako je Józue tega dne sklenil zavezo z ljudstvom in jim postavil zakon in odredbo v Sihemu.
26 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of Elohim, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that [was] by the sanctuary of YHWH.
Józue je te besede zapisal v knjigo Božje postave in vzel velik kamen in ga tam postavil pod hrast, ki je bil poleg Gospodovega svetišča.
27 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of YHWH which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your Elohim.
Józue je vsemu ljudstvu rekel: »Glejte, ta kamen nam bo priča, kajti ta je slišal vse Gospodove besede, ki nam jih je govoril. Ta vam bo zato priča, da ne bi zatajili svojega Boga.«
28 So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.
Tako je Józue ljudstvu pustil oditi, vsakemu možu v svojo dediščino.
29 And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of YHWH, died, [being] an hundred and ten years old.
Po vseh teh stvareh se je pripetilo, da je Nunov sin Józue, Gospodov služabnik, umrl, star sto deset let.
30 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which [is] in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash.
Pokopali so ga na meji njegove dediščine, v Timnát Serahu, ki je na gori Efrájim, na severni strani Gáaševega hriba.
31 And Israel served YHWH all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of YHWH, that he had done for Israel. (overlived...: Heb. prolonged their days after Joshua)
Izrael je služil Gospodu vse Józuetove dni in vse dni starešin, ki so preživeli Józueta in ki so poznali vsa Gospodova dela, ki jih je storil za Izrael.
32 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph. (pieces...: or, lambs)
Jožefove kosti, ki so jih Izraelovi otroci prinesli gor iz Egipta, so pokopali v Sihemu, na parceli zemlje, ki jo je Jakob kupil od sinov Hamórja, Sihemovega očeta, za sto koščkov srebra in ta je postala dediščina Jožefovih otrok.
33 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill [that pertained to] Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
Aronov sin Eleazar je umrl in pokopali so ga na hribu, ki pripada njegovemu sinu Pinhásu, ki mu je bil dan na gori Efrájim.
