Joshua 8
1 And YHWH says to Joshua, “Do not fear, nor be frightened, take with you all the people of war, and rise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land,
Иза тога рече Господ Исусу: Не бој се и не плаши се; узми са собом сав народ што је за бој, па устани и иди на Гај; ево предадох ти у руке цара гајског и народ његов и град његов и земљу његову.
2 and you have done to Ai and to her king as you have done to Jericho and to her king; only spoil its spoil and its livestock for yourselves; for you set an ambush for the city at its rear.”
И учини с Гајем и царем његовим како си учинио с Јерихоном и његовим царем; али плен из њега и стоку његову разграбите за се. Намести заседу иза града.
3 And Joshua rises, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai, and Joshua chooses thirty thousand men, mighty men of valor, and sends them away by night,
И уста Исус и сав народ што беше за бој, да иду на Гај; и изабра Исус тридесет хиљада јунака, и посла их ноћу;
4 and commands them, saying, “See, you are ones lying in wait against the city, at the rear of the city, you do not go very far off from the city, and all of you have been prepared,
И заповеди им говорећи: Гледајте ви који ћете бити у заседи иза града, да не будете врло далеко од града, него будите сви готови.
5 and I and all the people who [are] with me draw near to the city, and it has come to pass, when they come out to meet us as at the first, and we have fled before them,
А ја и сав народ што је са мном примакнућемо се ка граду; па кад они изађу пред нас, ми ћемо као и пре побећи испред њих.
6 and they have come out after us until we have drawn them out of the city, for they say, They are fleeing before us as at the first, and we have fled before them,
Те ће они поћи за нама докле их не одвојимо од града, јер ће рећи: Беже испред нас као и пре. И ми ћемо бежати испред њих.
7 and you rise from the ambush, and have occupied the city, and your God YHWH has given it into your hand;
Тада ви изађите из заседе и истерајте из града шта буде остало. Јер ће вам га дати Господ Бог ваш у руке.
8 and it has been, when you capture the city, you burn the city with fire, you do according to the word of YHWH, see, I have commanded you.”
А кад узмете град, запалите га огњем; по речи Господњој учините. Ето, заповедио сам вам.
9 And Joshua sends them away, and they go to the ambush, and abide between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai; and Joshua lodges on that night in the midst of the people.
Тако их посла Исус, и они одоше у заседу, и стадоше између Ветиља и Гаја, са запада Гају; а Исус преноћи ону ноћ међу народом.
10 And Joshua rises early in the morning, and inspects the people, and goes up, he and [the] elderly of Israel, before the people to Ai;
А ујутру уста Исус рано и преброја народ, па пође са старешинама Израиљевим пред народом на Гај.
11 and all the people of war who [are] with him have gone up, and draw near and come in before the city, and encamp on the north of Ai; and the valley [is] between him and Ai.
И сва војска што беше с њим пође и примакавши се дођоше према граду и стадоше у логор са севера Гају; а беше долина између њих и Гаја.
12 And he takes about five thousand men, and sets them [for] an ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city;
И узе око пет хиљада људи, и намести их у заседу између Ветиља и Гаја, са запада граду Гају.
13 and they set the people, all the camp which [is] on the north of the city, and its rear on the west of the city, and that night Joshua goes on into the midst of the valley.
И кад се намести сав народ, сва војска, што беше са севера граду и што беше у заседи са запада граду, изађе Исус ону ноћ усред долине.
14 And it comes to pass, when the king of Ai sees [it], that he hurries, and rises early, and the men of the city go out to meet Israel for battle, he and all his people, at the appointed time, at the front of the plain, and he has not known that an ambush [is] against him, on the rear of the city.
И кад то виде цар гајски, људи у граду похиташе и уранише; и изађоше онај час у поље пред Израиља у бој, цар и сав народ његов. А не знаше да има заседа за њим, иза града.
15 And Joshua and all Israel [seem] struck before them, and flee the way of the wilderness,
Тада Исус и сав Израиљ, као да их побише, нагоше бежати к пустињи.
16 and all the people who [are] in the city are called to pursue after them, and they pursue after Joshua, and are drawn away out of the city,
А они сазваше сав народ што беше у граду да их терају. И тераше Исуса, и одвојише се од свог града.
17 and there has not been a man left in Ai and Bethel who has not gone out after Israel, and they leave the city open, and pursue after Israel.
И не оста нико у Гају ни у Ветиљу да не пође за Израиљем; и оставише град отворен, и тераху Израиља.
18 And YHWH says to Joshua, “Stretch out with the javelin which [is] in your hand toward Ai, for I give it into your hand”; and Joshua stretches out with the javelin which [is] in his hand toward the city,
Тада рече Господ Исусу: Дигни заставу што ти је у руци према Гају, јер ћу ти га дати у руке. И подиже Исус заставу што му беше у руци према граду.
19 and the ambush has risen [with] haste, out of its place, and they run at the stretching out of his hand, and go into the city, and capture it, and hurry, and burn the city with fire.
А они што беху у заседи одмах усташе са свог места, и потрчаше чим он подиже руку своју, и уђоше у град и узеше га, и брзо запалише град огњем.
20 And the men of Ai look behind them, and see, and behold, the smoke of the city has gone up to the heavens, and there has not been power in them to flee here and there—and the people who are fleeing to the wilderness have turned against the pursuer—
А кад се Гајани обазреше, а то дим од града дизаше се до неба, и не имаху куда бежати ни тамо ни амо; а народ који бежаше у пустињу поврати се на оне који га тераху.
21 and Joshua and all Israel have seen that the ambush has captured the city, and that the smoke of the city has gone up, and they turn back and strike the men of Ai;
И Исус и сав Израиљ видевши да је заседа њихова узела град и где се диже дим од града, вратише се и ударише на Гајане.
22 and these have come out from the city to meet them, and they are in the midst of Israel, some on this [side], and some on that [side], and they strike them until he has not left a remnant and escaped one to them;
А они из града изађоше пред њих, те беху међу Израиљцима одовуд и одонуд, и побише их тако да ниједан не оста жив нити утече.
23 and they have caught the king of Ai alive, and bring him near to Joshua.
А цара гајског ухватише живог и доведоше к Исусу.
24 And it comes to pass, at Israel’s finishing to slay all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they pursued them (and all of them fall by the mouth of the sword until their consumption), that all of Israel turns back to Ai, and strikes it by the mouth of the sword;
А кад побише Израиљци све Гајане у пољу, у пустињи, куда их гонише, и падоше сви од оштрог мача, те се истребише, онда се вратише сви Израиљци у Гај, и исекоше шта још беше у њему оштрим мачем.
25 and all who fall during the day, of men and of women, are twelve thousand—all men of Ai.
А свих што изгибоше онај дан, и људи и жена, беше дванаест хиљада, самих Гајана.
26 And Joshua has not brought back his hand which he stretched out with the javelin until he has devoted all the inhabitants of Ai;
И Исус не спусти руку своју, коју беше подигао са заставом, док не побише све становнике гајске.
27 only the livestock and the spoil of that city has Israel spoiled for themselves, according to the word of YHWH which He commanded Joshua.
Само стоку и плен из града оног разграбише Израиљци за се, као што беше Господ заповедио Исусу.
28 And Joshua burns Ai, and makes it a continuous heap—a desolation to this day;
И Исус спали Гај, и обрати га у гомилу вечну, и у пустош до данашњег дана.
29 and he has hanged the king of Ai on the tree until evening, and at the going in of the sun Joshua has commanded, and they take down his carcass from the tree, and cast it to the opening of the gate of the city, and raise a great heap of stones over it until this day.
А цара гајског обеси на дрво и остави до вечера; а о заходу сунчаном заповеди Исус те скидоше тело његово с дрвета и бацише пред врата градска, и набацаше на њ велику гомилу камења, која стоји и данас.
30 Then Joshua builds an altar to YHWH, God of Israel, in Mount Ebal,
Тада Исус начини олтар Господу Богу Израиљевом на гори Евалу,
31 as Moses, servant of YHWH, commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the Scroll of the Law of Moses—an altar of whole stones, over which he has not waved iron—and they cause burnt-offerings to go up on it to YHWH, and sacrifice peace-offerings;
Као што беше заповедио Мојсије слуга Господњи синовима Израиљевим, као што пише у књизи закона Мојсијевог, олтар од целог камења, преко ког није превучено гвожђе; и принесоше на њему жртве паљенице Господу, и принесоше жртве захвалне.
32 and he writes there on the stones a copy of the Law of Moses, which he has written in the presence of the sons of Israel.
И преписа онде на камењу закон Мојсијев, који је написао синовима Израиљевим.
33 And all Israel, and its elderly, and authorities, and his judges, are standing on this [side] and on that [side] of the Ark, before the priests, the Levites, carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, the sojourner as well as the native, half of them in front of Mount Gerizim, and the half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses servant of YHWH had commanded to bless the people of Israel at the first.
И сав Израиљ и старешине његове и управитељи и судије његове стадоше с обе стране ковчега, према свештеницима Левитима, који ношаху ковчег завета Господњег, и странац и домородац; половина према гори Гаризину а половина према гори Евалу, као што беше заповедио Мојсије слуга Господњи да благослови народ Израиљев најпре.
34 And afterward he has proclaimed all the words of the Law, the blessing and the reviling, according to all that is written in the Scroll of the Law;
И потом прочита све речи закона, благослов и проклетство, све како је написано у књизи закона.
35 there has not been a thing of all that Moses commanded which Joshua has not proclaimed before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the infants, and the sojourner who is going in their midst.
Не би ни једне речи од свега што је Мојсије написао, које не прочита Исус пред свим збором Израиљевим, и женама и децом и странцима који иђаху међу њима.
