< Joshua 10 >

1 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedec king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
A kad ču jeruzalemski kralj Adoni-Sedek da je Jošua zauzeo Aj i da ga je izručio “heremu”, kletom uništenju, kao što je učinio s Jerihonom i njegovim kraljem, i da su stanovnici Gibeona učinili mir s Izraelom i uključili se među njih,
2 That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.
vrlo se uplaši, jer je Gibeon bio značajan kao kakav kraljevski grad, veći od Aja, a svi žitelji njegovi bijahu ratnici.
3 Wherefore Adonizedec king of Jerusalem, sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Zato jeruzalemski kralj Adoni-Sedek poruči Hohamu, kralju hebronskom, Piramu, kralju jarmutskom, Jafiji, kralju lakiškom, i Debiru, kralju eglonskom:
4 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may strike Gibeon: for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
“Dođite k meni i pomozite mi da udarimo na Gibeon, jer je učinio mir s Jošuom i Izraelcima!”
5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
Udruži se tada pet kraljeva amorejskih: kralj jeruzalemski, kralj hebronski, kralj jarmutski, kralj lakiški i kralj eglonski; krenu oni i sva njihova vojska, opsjednu grad Gibeon i počnu ga napadati.
6 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not your hand from your servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
Tada Gibeonci poručiše Jošui u tabor u Gilgalu: “Ne napuštaj svojih slugu, nego se požuri k nama da nas izbaviš i da nam pomogneš, jer su se protiv nas udružili svi amorejski kraljevi koji žive u Gorju.”
7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
I pođe Jošua iz Gilgala, a s njim i svi ratnici, sve vrsni junaci.
8 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into your hand; there shall not a man of them stand before you.
A Jahve reče Jošui: “Ne boj se! Ja sam ih predao u tvoje ruke i nijedan od njih neće se održati pred tobom.”
9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.
I udari na njih Jošua iznenadno, pošto je svu noć išao od Gilgala.
10 And the LORD humiliated them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goes up to Bethhoron, and stroke them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
I smete ih Jahve pred Izraelcima, koji ih teško poraziše kod Gibeona i potjeraše prema strmini kojom se uzlazi u Bet-Horon. Tukli su ih sve do Azeke i do Makede.
11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
A dok su bježali pred Izraelom uz bethoronsku strminu, bacao je Jahve s neba na njih tuču kamenja sve do Azeke te su ginuli. I poginulo ih je više od tuče kamene nego što su ih pobili sinovi Izraelovi svojim mačevima.
12 Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand you still upon Gibeon; and you, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
Onoga dana kada Jahve predade Amorejce sinovima Izraelovim, obrati se Jošua Jahvi i poviče pred Izraelcima: “Stani, sunce, iznad Gibeona, i mjeseče, iznad dola Ajalona!”
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
I stade sunce i zaustavi se mjesec sve dok se nije narod osvetio neprijateljima svojim. Ne piše li to u knjizi Pravednika? I stade sunce nasred neba i nije se nagnulo k zapadu gotovo cio dan.
14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
Nije bilo takva dana ni prije ni poslije da bi se Jahve odazvao glasu čovječjem. Tako je Jahve vojevao za Izraela.
15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
Potom se vrati Jošua i sav Izrael s njim u tabor gilgalski.
16 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
A onih pet kraljeva uteče i sakri se u pećinu kod Makede.
17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
Javiše Jošui: “Otkriveno je pet kraljeva sakrivenih u pećini kod Makede.”
18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it in order to keep them:
A Jošua reče: “Navalite veliko kamenje pećini na otvor i postavite ljude pred nju da je čuvaju.
19 And stay all of you not, but pursue after your enemies, and strike the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.
A vi se drugi ne zadržavajte, nego tjerajte svoje neprijatelje i tucite ih s leđa; ne dajte im da uđu u svoje gradove, jer ih Jahve, Bog vaš, predade u vaše ruke.”
20 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities.
A kad Jošua i sinovi Izraelovi okončaše bitku teškim pokoljem - utekla im je samo nekolicina preživjelih u tvrde gradove -
21 And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
vrati se narod zdrav i čitav k Jošui u tabor u Makedi. I nitko više ni da pisne protiv sinova Izraelovih.
22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.
Tada reče Jošua: “Otvorite ulaz u pećinu i odande mi izvedite onih pet kraljeva.”
23 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
I učine tako, izvedu k njemu iz pećine onih pet kraljeva: kralja jeruzalemskoga, kralja hebronskoga, kralja jarmutskoga, kralja lakiškog i kralja eglonskog.
24 And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
A kad ih izvedoše, pozva Jošua sve Izraelce i reče vojskovođama koji su ga pratili: “Priđite i stanite svojim nogama na vratove ovih kraljeva.” Oni pristupe i stanu im svojim nogama na vratove.
25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom all of you fight.
Reče Jošua: “Ne bojte se i ne plašite se! Hrabri budite i odlučni, jer će tako Jahve učiniti sa svim vašim neprijateljima s kojima se budete borili.”
26 And afterward Joshua stroke them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
Potom Jošua naredi da ih pogube i objese na pet stabala; i visjeli su ondje do večeri.
27 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day.
A o zalasku sunčanom zapovjedi Jošua te ih skidoše s drveća i baciše u istu onu pećinu u koju se bijahu sklonili te na otvor navališe golemo kamenje, koje je i danas ondje.
28 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and stroke it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.
Istoga dana zauze Jošua Makedu: udari na grad oštricom mača i pogubi kralja njegova i sve živo u gradu izruči “heremu”, kletom uništenju, ne puštajući da itko utekne. I učini s kraljem makedskim kao što je učinio s kraljem jerihonskim.
29 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
Ode zatim Jošua i sav Izrael iz Makede u Libnu i udari na nju.
30 And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he stroke it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.
I nju Jahve i njena kralja predade u ruke Izraelu, koji oštricom mača pobi sve živo u njoj; ne poštedje nikoga, a s kraljem Libne učini što i s kraljem jerihonskim.
31 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
Potom ode Jošua i svi Izraelci iz Libne u Lakiš, opsjede ga i napade.
32 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and stroke it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
Jahve predade Lakiš u ruke Izraela, koji ga osvoji sutradan: pobiše oštricom mača sve živo u njemu, onako kao što su učinili s Libnom.
33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua stroke him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
Tada ustade Horam, kralj Gezera, da pomogne Lakišu, ali Jošua porazi njega i njegov narod tako te nitko ne preživje.
34 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
Jošua krenu zatim sa svim Izraelcima od Lakiša na Eglon. Opsjedoše grad i napadoše ga.
35 And they took it on that day, and stroke it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Osvojiše ga još istoga dana i pobiše sve oštricom mača. Sve živo izručiše kletom uništenju, kako su učinili s Lakišem.
36 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:
Onda Jošua sa svim Izraelom krenu od Eglona na Hebron i napade ga.
37 And they took it, and stroke it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.
Osvojiše ga i pobiše sve oštricom mača, kralja i stanovništvo u svim mjestima koja mu pripadaju, ne poštedjevši nikoga. Učini s njime kao s Eglonom. Grad sa svim svojim stanovništvom bi izručen kletom uništenju.
38 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:
Napokon krenu Jošua i sav Izrael s njim na Debir i napadoše ga.
39 And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they stroke them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.
Osvojiše ga i razoriše; kralja njegova i žitelje okolnih mjesta pobiše oštricom mača. Kletom uništenju izručiše sve njegovo stanovništvo. Ne poštedješe nikoga. I učini Jošua s Debirom i njegovim kraljem kao što je učinio s Hebronom i njegovim kraljem, s Libnom i njezinim kraljem.
40 So Joshua stroke all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.
Tako je Jošua zauzeo sav onaj kraj: Gorje i Negeb, Šefelu i Visočje - i sve njihove kraljeve. Ne ostavi preživjelih, već izruči kletom uništenju sve što je disalo, kako je zapovjedio Jahve, Bog Izraelov.
41 And Joshua stroke them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
I pobi ih Jošua sve od Kadeš Barnee do Gaze i sav kraj Gošen do Gibeona.
42 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at the same, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
Sve tamošnje kraljeve i zemlje njihove zauze Jošua ujedanput, jer se za Izraela borio Jahve, Bog Izraelov.
43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
Naposljetku se Jošua i sav Izrael vratiše u tabor u Gilgalu.
