Joshua 24
1 Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
Józue je vse Izraelove rodove zbral v Sihem in dal poklicati po Izraelove starešine, po njihove poglavarje, po njihove sodnike in po njihove častnike in postavili so se pred Bogom.
2 Joshua said to all the people, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Your fathers lived of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor: and they served other gods.
Józue je vsemu ljudstvu rekel: »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Vaši očetje so v starih časih prebivali na drugi strani vèleréke, torej Terah, Abrahamov oče in Nahórjev oče in služili drugim bogovom.
3 I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants, and gave him Isaac.
Vzel sem vašega očeta Abrahama iz druge strani vèleréke in ga vodil skozi vso kánaansko deželo in pomnožil njegovo seme in mu dal Izaka.
4 And I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau. And I gave to Esau Mount Seir, to possess it. And Jacob and his children went down into Egypt, and became there a great and numerous and mighty nation, and the Egyptians afflicted them.
Izaku sem dal Jakoba in Ezava. Ezavu sem dal gorovje Seír, da ga vzame v last, toda Jakob in njegovi otroci so odšli dol v Egipt.
5 And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did in its midst; and afterward I brought you out
Poslal sem tudi Mojzesa in Arona in Egipt udaril z nadlogami, glede na to, kar sem storil med njimi in potem sem vas privedel ven.
6 from Egypt. And you came to the sea, and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and with horsemen to the Red Sea.
Vaše očete sem privedel iz Egipta in prišli ste k morju. Egipčani so vaše očete zasledovali z bojnimi vozovi in konjeniki do Rdečega morja.
7 When they cried out to the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea on them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt: and you lived in the wilderness many days.
Ko so klicali h Gospodu, je med vas in Egipčane postavil temo in nadnje privedel morje in jih pokril. Vaše oči so videle, kar sem storil v Egiptu in v divjini ste prebivali dolgo obdobje.
8 I brought you into the land of the Amorites, that lived beyond the Jordan: and they fought with you; and I gave them into your hand. You possessed their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
Privedel sem vas v deželo Amoréjcev, ki so prebivali na drugi strani Jordana. Borili so se z vami in izročil sem jih v vašo roko, da bi lahko vzeli v last njihovo deželo in uničil sem jih izpred vas.
9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel. He sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you;
Potem je Balák, Cipórjev sin, moábski kralj, vstal in se bojeval zoper Izrael in poslal ter poklical Beórjevega sina Bileáma, da vas prekolne,
10 but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still. So I delivered you out of his hand.
toda nisem hotel prisluhniti Bileámu, zato vas je mirno blagoslovil. Tako sem vas osvobodil iz njegove roke.
11 You went over the Jordan, and came to Jericho. The men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hethite, the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand.
Odšli ste čez Jordan in prišli do Jerihe. Zoper vas so se borili možje iz Jerihe [in] Amoréjci, Perizéjci, Kánaanci, Hetejci, Girgašéjci, Hivéjci in Jebusejci in izročil sem jih v vašo roko.
12 I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with your sword, nor with your bow.
Pred vami sem poslal sršena, ki jih je pregnal izpred vas, celó dva kralja Amoréjcev, toda ne s tvojim mečem niti ne s tvojim lokom.
13 I gave you a land whereon you had not labored, and cities which you did not build, and you live in them. You eat of vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant.'
Dal sem vam deželo, za katero se niste trudili in mesta, ki jih niste zgradili, in vi prebivate v njih in jeste od vinogradov in oljčnih nasadov, ki jih niste sadili.‹
14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth. Put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.
Zdaj se torej bojte Gospoda in mu služite v iskrenosti in resnici in odstranite bogove, ki so jim služili vaši očetje na drugi strani vèleréke in v Egiptu in služite Gospodu.
15 If it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
Če pa se vam to zdi zlo, da služite Gospodu, ta dan izberite komu boste služili: ali bogovom, ki so jim služili vaši očetje, ki so bili na drugi strani vèleréke, ali bogovom Amoréjcev, v čigar deželi prebivate. Toda kar se tiče mene in moje hiše, mi bomo služili Gospodu.«
16 The people answered, "Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;
Ljudstvo je odgovorilo in reklo: »Bog ne daj, da bi zapustili Gospoda, da služimo drugim bogovom,
17 for it is the LORD our God who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way in which we went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed.
kajti Gospod, naš Bog, on je ta, ki je nas in naše očete privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele, iz hiše sužnosti in ki je storil ta velika znamenja v našem pogledu in nas varoval po vsej poti, po kateri smo šli, in med vsem ljudstvom, skozi katero smo šli.
18 The LORD drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who lived in the land. Therefore we also will serve the LORD; for he is our God."
Gospod je izpred nas pregnal vse ljudstvo, celo Amoréjce, ki prebivajo v deželi. Zato bomo tudi služili Gospodu, kajti on je naš Bog.«
19 Joshua said to the people, "You can't serve the LORD; for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God. He will not forgive your disobedience nor your sins.
Józue je rekel ljudstvu: »Ne morete služiti Gospodu, kajti on je svet Bog; ljubosumen Bog je; ne bo odpustil vaših prestopkov niti vaših grehov.
20 If you forsake the LORD, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you harm, and consume you, after he has done you good."
Če zapustite Gospoda in služite tujim bogovom, potem se bo obrnil in vas prizadel in vas použil, potem ko vam je storil dobro.«
21 The people said to Joshua, "No; but we will serve the LORD."
Ljudstvo je Józuetu reklo: »Ne, temveč bomo služili Gospodu.«
22 Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen you the LORD, to serve him." They said, "We are witnesses."
Józue je ljudstvu rekel: »Vi ste priče zoper vas same, da ste izbrali Gospoda, da mu služite.« Rekli so: » Mi smo priče.«
23 "Now therefore put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the LORD, the God of Israel."
»Zdaj torej odstranite, « je rekel, »tuje bogove, ki so med vami in svoje srce nagnite h Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu.«
24 The people said to Joshua, "We will serve the LORD our God, and we will listen to his voice."
Ljudstvo je Józuetu reklo: » Gospodu, našemu Bogu, bomo služili in njegov glas bomo ubogali.«
25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
Tako je Józue tega dne sklenil zavezo z ljudstvom in jim postavil zakon in odredbo v Sihemu.
26 Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.
Józue je te besede zapisal v knjigo Božje postave in vzel velik kamen in ga tam postavil pod hrast, ki je bil poleg Gospodovega svetišča.
27 Joshua said to all the people, "Look, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it has heard all the words of the LORD which he spoke to us. It shall be therefore a witness against you, lest you deny your God."
Józue je vsemu ljudstvu rekel: »Glejte, ta kamen nam bo priča, kajti ta je slišal vse Gospodove besede, ki nam jih je govoril. Ta vam bo zato priča, da ne bi zatajili svojega Boga.«
28 So Joshua sent the people away, every man to his inheritance.
Tako je Józue ljudstvu pustil oditi, vsakemu možu v svojo dediščino.
29 It happened after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred ten years old.
Po vseh teh stvareh se je pripetilo, da je Nunov sin Józue, Gospodov služabnik, umrl, star sto deset let.
30 They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
Pokopali so ga na meji njegove dediščine, v Timnát Serahu, ki je na gori Efrájim, na severni strani Gáaševega hriba.
31 Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of the LORD, that he had worked for Israel.
Izrael je služil Gospodu vse Józuetove dni in vse dni starešin, ki so preživeli Józueta in ki so poznali vsa Gospodova dela, ki jih je storil za Izrael.
32 They buried the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred kesitahs. They became the inheritance of the descendants of Joseph.
Jožefove kosti, ki so jih Izraelovi otroci prinesli gor iz Egipta, so pokopali v Sihemu, na parceli zemlje, ki jo je Jakob kupil od sinov Hamórja, Sihemovega očeta, za sto koščkov srebra in ta je postala dediščina Jožefovih otrok.
33 Eleazar the son of Aaron died. They buried him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill country of Ephraim.
Aronov sin Eleazar je umrl in pokopali so ga na hribu, ki pripada njegovemu sinu Pinhásu, ki mu je bil dan na gori Efrájim.
