Joshua 9
1 And it comes to pass, when all the kings who [are] beyond the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the low-country, and in every haven of the Great Sea, toward Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, hear—
A kad to èuše svi carevi koji bijahu s ovu stranu Jordana po brdima i po dolinama i po svemu brijegu velikoga mora dori do Livana, Hetejin i Amorejin, Hananejin, Ferezejin, Jevejin i Jevusejin,
2 that they gather themselves together to fight with Joshua, and with Israel—[with] one mouth.
Skupiše se svi da se složno biju s Isusom i s Izrailjem.
3 And the inhabitants of Gibeon have heard that which Joshua has done to Jericho and to Ai,
A koji življahu u Gavaonu èuvši šta uèini Isus od Jerihona i od Gaja,
4 and they work, even they, with subtlety, and go, and feign to be ambassadors, and take old sacks for their donkeys, and wine-bottles, old, and split, and bound up,
Uèiniše i oni prijevaru; jer otidoše i naèiniše se poslanici, i uzeše stare torbe na svoje magarce i stare mjehove vinske, poderane i iskrpljene,
5 and sandals, old and patched, on their feet, and old garments on them, and all the bread of their provision is dry—it was crumbs.
I obuæu staru i iskrpljenu na noge svoje, i haljine stare na se; i sav hljeb što ponesoše na put bješe suh i pljesniv.
6 And they go to Joshua, to the camp at Gilgal, and say to him, and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far-off land, and now, make a covenant with us”;
I otidoše k Isusu u oko u Galgalu, i rekoše njemu i ljudima Izrailjcima: doðosmo iz daljne zemlje; hajde uhvatite vjeru s nama.
7 and the men of Israel say to the Hivite, “It may be [that] you are dwelling in our midst, so how do we make a covenant with you?”
A ljudi Izrailjci rekoše Jevejima: može biti da sjedite usred nas, pa kako æemo uhvatiti vjeru s vama?
8 And they say to Joshua, “We [are] your servants.” And Joshua says to them, “Who [are] you? And where do you come from?”
Ali oni rekoše Isusu: mi smo sluge tvoje. A Isus im reèe: ko ste i otkuda idete?
9 And they say to him, “Your servants have come from a very far-off land, for the Name of your God YHWH, for we have heard His fame, and all that He has done in Egypt,
A oni mu rekoše: iz zemlje vrlo daljne doðoše sluge tvoje u ime Gospoda Boga tvojega; jer èusmo slavu njegovu i sve što je uèinio u Misiru,
10 and all that He has done to the two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who [is] in Ashtaroth.
I sve što je uèinio dvojici careva Amorejskih, koji bijahu s onu stranu Jordana, Sionu caru Esevonskom i Ogu caru Vasanskom koji bijaše u Astarotu.
11 And our elderly, and all the inhabitants of our land speak to us, saying, Take provision in your hand for the way, and go to meet them, and you have said to them: We [are] your servants, and now, make a covenant with us;
I rekoše nam starješine naše i svi stanovnici naše zemlje govoreæi: uzmite brašnjenice na put, i idite im na susret i recite im: mi smo sluge vaše, hajde uhvatite vjeru s nama.
12 this bread of ours—we provided ourselves with it hot out of our houses, on the day of our coming out to go to you, and now, behold, it is dry, and has been crumbs;
Ovo je hljeb naš: vruæ smo ponijeli na put od kuæa svojih kad smo pošli pred vas, a sad eto osušio se i upljesnivio.
13 and these [are] the wine-bottles which we filled, new, and behold, they have split; and these, our garments and our sandals, have become old, from the exceeding greatness of the way.”
A ovo su mjehovi vinski: nalismo nove, i eto su se veæ poderali; i haljine naše i obuæa naša ovetša od daljnoga puta.
14 And the men take of their provision, and have not asked the mouth of YHWH;
I povjerovaše ljudi po brašnjenici, a ne upitaše Gospoda šta æe reæi.
15 and Joshua makes peace with them, and makes a covenant with them, to keep them alive; and the princes of the congregation swear to them.
I Isus uèini s njima mir, i zadade im vjeru da æe ih ostaviti u životu; i zakleše im se knezovi od zbora.
16 And it comes to pass, that at the end of three days after they have made a covenant with them, that they hear that they [are] their neighbors—that they are dwelling in their midst.
Ali poslije tri dana kad uhvatiše vjeru s njima, èuše da su im susjedi i da žive usred njih.
17 And the sons of Israel journey and come to their cities on the third day—and their cities [are] Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-Jearim—
Jer poðoše sinovi Izrailjevi i doðoše u gradove njihove treæi dan; a gradovi im bijahu: Gavaon i Kefira i Virot i Kirijat-Jarim.
18 and the sons of Israel have not struck them, for the princes of the congregation have sworn to them by YHWH, God of Israel, and all the congregation murmur against the princes.
I ne pobiše ih sinovi Izrailjevi, jer im se knezovi od zbora zakleše Gospodom Bogom Izrailjevijem. Ali sav zbor vikaše na knezove.
19 And all the princes say to all the congregation, “We have sworn to them by YHWH, God of Israel; and now, we are not able to come against them;
Tada svi knezovi rekoše svemu zboru: mi smo im se zakleli Gospodom Bogom Izrailjevijem; zato sada ne možemo dirati u njih.
20 we do this to them, and have kept them alive, and wrath is not on us, because of the oath which we have sworn to them.”
Uèinimo im to, i ostavimo ih u životu, da ne doðe gnjev na nas radi zakletve kojom im se zaklesmo.
21 And the princes say to them, “They live, and are hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the congregation, as the princes spoke to them.”
Još im rekoše knezovi: neka ostanu u životu, pa neka sijeku drva i nose vodu svemu zboru, kako im knezovi kazaše.
22 And Joshua calls for them, and speaks to them, saying, “Why have you deceived us, saying, We are very far from you, yet you [are] dwelling in our midst?
Potom ih dozva Isus i reèe im govoreæi: zašto nas prevariste i rekoste: vrlo smo daleko od vas, kad eto živite usred nas?
23 And now you are cursed, and none of you is cut off [from being] a servant, even hewers of wood and drawers of water, for the house of my God.”
Zato sada da ste prokleti i da ste dovijeka robovi i da sijeèete drva i nosite vodu za dom Gospoda Boga mojega.
24 And they answer Joshua and say, “Because it was certainly declared to your servants that your God YHWH commanded His servant Moses to give all the land to you, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; and we fear greatly for ourselves because of you, and we do this thing;
A oni odgovoriše Isusu i rekoše: doista je bilo javljeno slugama tvojim kako je zapovjedio Gospod Bog tvoj Mojsiju sluzi svojemu da vam da svu ovu zemlju i da istrijebi sve stanovnike ove zemlje ispred vas; stoga se vrlo pobojasmo životu svojemu od vas i uèinismo tako.
25 and now, behold, we [are] in your hand, as [it is] good, and as [it is] right in your eyes to do to us—do.”
A sada eto smo ti u ruku; èini što misliš da je dobro i pravo da s nama uèiniš.
26 And he does to them so, and delivers them from the hand of the sons of Israel, and they have not slain them;
I uèini im tako i saèuva ih od ruku sinova Izrailjevijeh, te ih ne pobiše.
27 and on that day Joshua makes them hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of YHWH, to this day, at the place which He chooses.
I odredi ih Isus u taj dan da sijeku drva i nose vodu zboru i za oltar Gospodnji do današnjega dana na mjestu koje izbere.
