< Numbers 32 >

1 And much livestock has [belonged] to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad—very many; and they see the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, and behold, the place [is] a place [for] livestock;
Rubenovci i Gadovci imađahu mnogo, vrlo mnogo blaga. Opaze, međutim, da je zemlja jazerska i zemlja gileadska pogodna za stočarstvo.
2 and the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben come in and speak to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
Zato Gadovci i Rubenovci dođu k Mojsiju, svećeniku Eleazaru i glavarima zajednice pa reknu:
3 “Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
“Atarot, Dibon, Jazer, Nimra, Hešbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo i Beon -
4 the land which YHWH has struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.”
kraj što ga Jahve osvoji pred izraelskom zajednicom - kraj je pogodan za stočarstvo; a sluge tvoje bave se stočarstvom.
5 And they say, “If we have found grace in your eyes, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; cause us not to pass over the Jordan.”
Ako smo stekli blagonaklonost u tvojim očima”, nastave, “neka se ovaj kraj dade u posjed tvojim slugama. Ne šalji nas preko Jordana!”
6 And Moses says to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, “Do your brothers go to the battle, and you—do you sit here?
Mojsije odgovori Gadovcima i Rubenovcima: “Zar da vaša braća idu u rat, a vi da ostanete ovdje?
7 And why discourage the heart of the sons of Israel from passing over to the land which YHWH has given to them?
Zašto odvraćate srca Izraelaca da ne prijeđu u zemlju koju im je Jahve predao?
8 Thus your fathers did in my sending them from Kadesh-Barnea to see the land;
Tako su učinili i vaši očevi kad sam ih poslao iz Kadeš Barnee da izvide zemlju.
9 and they go up to the Valley of Eshcol, and see the land, and discourage the heart of the sons of Israel so as not to go into the land which YHWH has given to them;
Popeli su se do Eškola i razgledali zemlju, ali su onda ubili srčanost u Izraelcima da ne odu u zemlju koju im je Jahve dao.
10 and the anger of YHWH burns in that day, and He swears, saying,
Onog dana Jahve planu gnjevom. Zakle se i reče:
11 They do not see—the men who are coming up out of Egypt from a son of twenty years and upward—the ground which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, for they have not been fully after Me,
'Ljudi što su izišli iz Egipta, kojima je dvadeset ili više godina, jer me nisu vjerno slijedili, nikad neće vidjeti zemlju što sam je pod zakletvom obećao Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu!'
12 except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezite and Joshua son of Nun, for they have been fully after YHWH;
Jahvu su jedino vjerno slijedili Kenižanin Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, i sin Nunov Jošua.
13 and the anger of YHWH burns against Israel, and He causes them to wander in the wilderness [for] forty years, until the consumption of all the generation which is doing evil in the eyes of YHWH.
Jahve je gnjevom planuo na Izraelce pa ih je pustinjom povlačio četrdeset godina, sve dok ne pomrije sav naraštaj što je u očima Jahvinim zlo postupio.
14 And behold, you have risen in the stead of your fathers, an increase of sinful men, to add yet to the fury of the anger of YHWH toward Israel;
A sad vi - grešni naraštaj - ustajete namjesto svojih očeva da još povećate srdžbu Jahvinu na Izraela.
15 when you turn back from after Him, then He has added yet to leave him in the wilderness, and you have done corruptly to all this people.”
Ako se od njega odvratite, on će još produžiti vaš boravak u pustinji; tako ćete upropastiti sav taj narod.”
16 And they come near to him and say, “We build folds for the flock here for our livestock, and cities for our infants;
Onda se oni primaknu k njemu i reknu: “Mi bismo ovdje podigli torove za svoje blago i gradove za svoju nejačad,
17 but we are armed, hastening before the sons of Israel until we have brought them to their place; and our infants have dwelt in the cities of defense because of the inhabitants of the land;
a sami ćemo pograbiti oružje i poći na čelu Izraelaca dok ih ne dovedemo na njihovo mjesto. Naša nejačad neka ostane - zbog stanovništva ove zemlje - u utvrđenim gradovima.
18 we do not return to our houses until the sons of Israel have each inherited his inheritance,
Mi se svojim kućama nećemo vraćati sve dok svaki Izraelac ne zaposjedne svoju baštinu.
19 for we do not inherit with them across the Jordan and beyond, for our inheritance has come to us beyond the Jordan at the [sun]-rising.”
S njima nećemo dijeliti svoje posjede s onu stranu Jordana niti dalje, jer će nas zapasti naša baština s ovu stranu, na istok od Jordana.”
20 And Moses says to them, “If you do this thing, if you are armed before YHWH for battle,
Mojsije im reče: “Ako tako uradite, ako pođete pred Jahvom u boj;
21 and every armed one of you has passed over the Jordan before YHWH, until His dispossessing His enemies from before Him,
ako vi svi naoružani prijeđete Jordan pred Jahvom dok on ne rastjera ispred sebe svoje neprijatelje:
22 and the land has been subdued before YHWH, then afterward you return, and have been acquitted by YHWH and by Israel, and this land has been to you for a possession before YHWH.
tada, kad zemlja bude pokorena Jahvi, vi ćete se moći vratiti. Tako ćete biti oslobođeni odgovornosti prema Jahvi i prema Izraelu, a ova će zemlja postati pred Jahvom vaše vlasništvo.
23 And if you do not do so, behold, you have sinned against YHWH, and know that your sin finds you;
Ali ako tako ne uradite, sagriješit ćete protiv Jahve i znajte da će vas stići kazna za vaš grijeh.
24 build for yourselves cities for your infants and folds for your flock, and that which is going out from your mouth you do.”
Sazidajte, dakle, gradove za svoju nejačad i torove za svoju stoku, ali izvršite što ste obećali.”
25 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben speak to Moses, saying, “Your servants do as my lord is commanding;
Gadovci i Rubenovci odgovore Mojsiju: “Tvoje će sluge učiniti kako gospodar naš nalaže.
26 our infants, our wives, our livestock, and all our beasts, are there in cities of Gilead,
Naša nejačad, naše žene, naša stoka i sve naše blago neka ostanu ondje u gileadskim gradovima,
27 and your servants pass over, every armed one of the host, before YHWH, to battle, as my lord is saying.”
a tvoje sluge, svi koji su za boj sposobni, poći će pred Jahvom u boj, kako naš gospodar nalaže.”
28 And Moses commands Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel concerning them;
Tada za njih Mojsije izda nalog svećeniku Eleazaru, Nunovu sinu Jošui i glavarima obitelji izraelskih plemena.
29 and Moses says to them, “If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben pass over the Jordan with you, everyone armed for battle, before YHWH, and the land has been subdued before you, then you have given the land of Gilead to them for a possession;
I reče im Mojsije: “Ako Gadovci i Rubenovci, svi oni koji nose oružje, s vama prijeđu Jordan da se bore pred Jahvom i zemlja bude pokorena vama, onda im dajte gileadsku zemlju u vlasništvo.
30 and if they do not pass over armed with you, then they have possessions in your midst in the land of Canaan.”
Ali ako ne prijeđu naoružani s vama, neka dobiju baštinu među vama u zemlji kanaanskoj.”
31 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answer, saying, “That which YHWH has spoken to your servants, so we do;
Nato odgovore Gadovci i Rubenovci: “Što je god Jahve rekao tvojim slugama, to ćemo učiniti.
32 we pass over armed before YHWH [to] the land of Canaan, and with us [is] the possession of our inheritance beyond the Jordan.”
Mi ćemo naoružani prijeći pred Jahvom u zemlju kanaansku, ali neka nam bude posjed naše baštine s ove strane Jordana.”
33 And Moses gives to them—to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph—the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorite and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land by its cities, in the borders, the cities of the surrounding land.
I tako njima - Gadovcima, Rubenovcima i polovici plemena Manašea, sina Josipova - dadne kraljevstvo amorejskoga kralja Sihona i kraljevstvo bašanskoga kralja Oga, zemlju s gradovima u njihovim granicama, gradove okolne zemlje.
34 And the sons of Gad build Dihon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Gadovci sagrade: Dibon, Atarot i Aroer,
35 and Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
Atrot Šofan, Jazer, Jogbohu,
36 and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, cities of defense, and sheepfolds.
Bet Nimru i Bet Haran, utvrđene gradove i torove za stada.
37 And the sons of Reuben have built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
Rubenovci sagrade: Hešbon, Eleale, Kirjatajim,
38 and Nebo, and Ba‘al-Meon (changed in name), and Shibmah, and they call the names of the cities which they have built by [these] names.
Nebo, Baal Meon - nazivi su izmijenjeni - i Šibmu. Oni prozovu svojim imenima gradove koje su oni podigli.
39 And sons of Machir son of Manasseh go to Gilead, and capture it, and dispossess the Amorite who [is] in it;
Sinovi Makira, sina Manašeova, odu u Gilead, osvoje ga i protjeraju Amorejce koji bijahu ondje.
40 and Moses gives Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwells in it.
Mojsije preda Gilead Manašeovu sinu Makiru, i on se u njemu nastani.
41 And Jair son of Manasseh has gone and captures their towns, and calls them “Towns of Jair”;
A Manašeov sin Jair ode te zauzme njihova sela pa ih prozva “Jairova sela”.
42 and Nobah has gone and captures Kenath and its villages, and calls it Nobah, by his own name.
Potom ode Nobah i zauzme Kenat i njegova područja te ga nazove svojim imenom “Nobah”.
