Joshua 9
1 It happened, when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and on all the shore of the Great Sea in front of Lebanon, the Hethite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard of it
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 gathered themselves together to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
Skupiše se svi da se složno biju s Isusom i s Izrailjem.
3 But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,
A koji življahu u Gavaonu èuvši šta uèini Isus od Jerihona i od Gaja,
4 they also resorted to a ruse, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks on their donkeys, and wineskins, old and torn 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 old and patched shoes on their feet, and wore old garments. All the bread of their provision was dry and moldy.
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 They went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him, and to the men of Israel, "We have come from a far country. Now therefore 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 The men of Israel said to the Hivites, "What if you live among us. How could 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 They said to Joshua, "We are your servants." Joshua said to them, "Who are you? Where do you come from?"
Ali oni rekoše Isusu: mi smo sluge tvoje. A Isus im reèe: ko ste i otkuda idete?
9 They said to him, "Your servants have come from a very far country because of the name of YHWH your God; for we have heard of his fame, all that he did 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 did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon and to Og king of Bashan, who was at 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 Our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, 'Take provision in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and tell them, "We are your servants. 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 our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we went out to go to you; but now, look, it is dry, and has become moldy.
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 These wineskins, which we filled, were new; and look, they are torn. These our garments and our shoes have become old because of the very long journey."
A ovo su mjehovi vinski: nalismo nove, i eto su se veæ poderali; i haljine naše i obuæa naša ovetša od daljnoga puta.
14 The men sampled their provisions, and did not ask counsel from the mouth of YHWH.
I povjerovaše ljudi po brašnjenici, a ne upitaše Gospoda šta æe reæi.
15 Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live. The leaders of the congregation swore 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 It happened at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they lived among them.
Ali poslije tri dana kad uhvatiše vjeru s njima, èuše da su im susjedi i da žive usred njih.
17 The children of Israel traveled and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath 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 The children of Israel did not strike them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by YHWH, the God of Israel. And the whole congregation murmured against the leaders.
I ne pobiše ih sinovi Izrailjevi, jer im se knezovi od zbora zakleše Gospodom Bogom Izrailjevijem. Ali sav zbor vikaše na knezove.
19 But all the leaders said to all the congregation, "We have sworn to them by YHWH, the God of Israel; and now therefore we may not touch them.
Tada svi knezovi rekoše svemu zboru: mi smo im se zakleli Gospodom Bogom Izrailjevijem; zato sada ne možemo dirati u njih.
20 This we will do to them, and let them live; lest wrath be on us, because of the oath which we swore 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 leaders said to them, "Let them live." So they became wood cutters and drawers of water for all the congregation, and all the congregation did as the leaders had spoken to them.
Još im rekoše knezovi: neka ostanu u životu, pa neka sijeku drva i nose vodu svemu zboru, kako im knezovi kazaše.
22 Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, "Why have you deceived us, saying, 'We are very far from you,' when you live among us?
Potom ih dozva Isus i reèe im govoreæi: zašto nas prevariste i rekoste: vrlo smo daleko od vas, kad eto živite usred nas?
23 Now therefore you are cursed, and some of you will never fail to be bondservants, both wood cutters 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 They answered Joshua, and said, "Because your servants were certainly told how YHWH your God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you. Therefore we were very afraid for our lives because of you, and have done 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 Now, look, we are in your hand. Do to us as it seems good and right to you to do."
A sada eto smo ti u ruku; èini što misliš da je dobro i pravo da s nama uèiniš.
26 He did so to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, so that they did not kill them.
I uèini im tako i saèuva ih od ruku sinova Izrailjevijeh, te ih ne pobiše.
27 That day Joshua made them wood cutters and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of YHWH, to this day, in the place which he should choose.
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.
