Joshua 2
1 And Joshua son of Nun silently sends two men, spies, from Shittim, saying, “Go, see the land—and Jericho”; and they go and come into the house of a woman, a harlot, and her name [is] Rahab, and they lie down there.
Jošua, sin Nunov, posla potajno iz Šitima dvojicu uhoda s nalogom: “Idite, izvidite područje, osobito Jerihon.” Oni odu i stignu u kuću bludnice koja se zvala Rahaba i ondje prenoće.
2 And it is told to the king of Jericho, saying, “Behold, men have come in here tonight, from the sons of Israel, to search the land.”
To bude javljeno kralju jerihonskom: “Evo, stigoše noćas ovamo neki ljudi od sinova Izraelovih da izvide zemlju.”
3 And the king of Jericho sends to Rahab, saying, “Bring out the men who are coming to you, who have come into your house, for they have come to search the entirety of the land.”
Tada kralj jerihonski poruči Rahabi: “Izvedi ljude koji su došli k tebi, koji su ušli u tvoj dom, jer su došli uhoditi svu zemlju.”
4 And the woman takes the two men, and hides them, and says thus: “The men came to me, and I have not known where they [are] from;
Ali žena uze ona dva čovjeka, sakri ih i reče: “Istina, ti su ljudi došli k meni, ali ja nisam znala odakle su.
5 and it comes to pass—the gate is to [be] shut—in the dark, and the men have gone out; I have not known to where the men have gone; pursue, hurry after them, for you overtake them”;
Kada se u sumrak zatvarahu gradska vrata, oni odoše i ja ne znam kamo su krenuli. Požurite za njima jer ih još možete stići.”
6 and she has caused them to go up on the roof, and hides them with the flax wood, which is arranged for her on the roof.
A ona ih bijaše izvela na krov i sakrila pod netrveni lan što ga je ondje razastrla.
7 And the men have pursued after them the way of the Jordan, by the fords, and they have shut the gate afterward when the pursuers have gone out after them.
I požure se ljudi u potjeru za njima, prema Jordanu, sve do prijelaza preko rijeke; a kad je potjera izišla, zatvore se za njima gradska vrata.
8 And before they lie down, she has gone up to them on the roof,
Dok još oni gore ne bijahu zaspali, popne se Rahaba k njima na krov
9 and she says to the men, “I have known that YHWH has given the land to you, and that your terror has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted at your presence.
i reče im: “Znam da vam je Jahve dao ovu zemlju, jer nas je sve uhvatio strah od vas i prezaju od vas svi žitelji ovoga kraja.
10 For we have heard how YHWH dried up the waters of the Red Sea at your presence, in your going out of Egypt, and that which you have done to the two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan; to Sihon and to Og whom you devoted.
Jer čusmo kako je Jahve isušio vodu Crvenoga mora pred vama kada ste izašli iz Egipta, i ono što ste učinili dvojici kraljeva amorejskih s druge strane Jordana, Sihonu i Ogu, koje pogubiste.
11 And we hear, and our heart melts, and there has not stood anymore spirit in [any] man from your presence, for He, your God YHWH, [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth below.
Kad smo čuli sve to, zastalo nam srce i nitko da smogne snage da vam se suprotstavi jer Jahve, Bog vaš - on je Bog gore na nebesima i dolje na zemlji.
12 And now, please swear to me by YHWH—because I have done kindness with you—that you have done, even you, kindness with the house of my father, and have given a true token to me,
Zakunite mi se, dakle, Jahvom da ćete i vi učiniti milost domu oca moga, kao što i ja učinih milost vama, i dajte mi pouzdan znak
13 and have kept alive my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and have delivered our souls from death.”
da ćete ostaviti na životu moga oca i moju majku, braću moju i sestre moje i sve njihovo i da ćete nas izbaviti od smrti.”
14 And the men say to her, “Our soul to die for yours; if you do not declare this—our matter, then it has been, in YHWH’s giving this land to us, that we have done kindness and truth with you.”
Odgovoriše joj ljudi: “Životom svojim jamčimo za vas, samo ako nas ne izdate. Kad nam Jahve dade zemlju, iskazat ćemo ti milost i vjernost.”
15 And she causes them to go down by a rope through the window, for her house [is] in the side of the wall, and she [is] dwelling in the wall;
Rahaba ih zatim spusti po konopu kroz prozor jer joj je kuća bila uz bedem i ona je do bedema stanovala.
16 and she says to them, “Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers come on you; and you have been hidden there three days until the turning back of the pursuers, and afterward you go on your way.”
Još im reče: “Pođite prema gori da vas potjera ne nađe i krijte se ondje tri dana dok se progonitelji ne vrate, a onda idite svojim putem.”
17 And the men say to her, “We are acquitted of this, your oath, which you have caused us to swear:
Ljudi joj odgovore: “Evo, ovako ćemo ti ispuniti zakletvu kojom si nas zaklela:
18 behold, we are coming into the land, bind this line of scarlet thread to the window by which you have caused us to go down, and gather your father, and your mother, and your brothers, and all the house of your father to you, to the house;
kad uđemo u zemlju, posluži se ovim znakom: priveži ovu crvenu vrpcu za prozor kroz koji nas spuštaš i sakupi kod sebe, u kući, svoga oca, i svoju majku, i svoju braću, i svu svoju rodbinu.
19 and it has been, anyone who goes out from the doors of your house outside, his blood [is] on his head, and we are innocent; and anyone who is with you in the house, his blood [is] on our head, if a hand is on him;
Tko god od vas stupi van preko praga tvoje kuće, krv njegova na glavu njegovu: nije krivnja na nama - sam je krivac svojoj smrti; a tko ostane s tobom u kući, krv njegova neka padne na glave naše - mi ćemo biti krivci ako ga se tko rukom dotakne.
20 and if you declare this—our matter, then we have been acquitted from your oath which you have caused us to swear.”
Ako pak izdaš ovu našu stvar, slobodni smo od zakletve kojom si nas zaklela.”
21 And she says, “According to your words, so it [is]”; and she sends them away, and they go; and she binds the scarlet line to the window.
A ona odgovori: “Neka bude kako rekoste!” Tada ih pusti i oni odoše, a ona zaveza na prozor crvenu vrpcu.
22 And they go, and come to the mountain, and abide there three days until the pursuers have turned back; and the pursuers seek in all the way, and have not found.
Oni odoše i dođoše u goru i ondje ostadoše tri dana dok se ne vrati potjera; tražila ih je potjera na svim putovima, ali ih nije nigdje našla.
23 And the two men turn back, and come down from the hill, and pass over, and come to Joshua son of Nun, and recount to him all that has come on them;
Tada se vrate i one dvije uhode: siđu s gore, prijeđu preko rijeke i dođu k Jošui, sinu Nunovu, te ga izvijeste o svemu što im se dogodilo.
24 and they say to Joshua, “Surely YHWH has given all the land into our hand; and also, all the inhabitants of the land have melted at our presence.”
I rekoše Jošui: “Jahve nam je svu tu krajinu predao u ruke; sve je njezine stanovnike uhvatio strah pred nama.”
