Joshua 4
1 And it came to pass, when all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan, that Yahweh slake unto Joshua, saying:
Pošto je sav narod prešao preko Jordana, reče Jahve Jošui:
2 Take unto you, from among the people, twelve men, one man severally from each tribe;
“Izaberite iz naroda dvanaest ljudi, od svakoga plemena po jednoga,
3 and command ye them, saying, Take you up from hence, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where stood the feet of the priests with firm footing, twelve stones; —and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge, tonight.
i zapovjedite im: 'Dignite odavde, iz sredine Jordana - s mjesta gdje stoje noge svećenika - dvanaest kamenova koje ćete ponijeti sa sobom i položiti na mjestu gdje budete noćas prenoćili.'”
4 So Joshua called unto the twelve men whom he had made ready, from among the sons of Israel, —one man severally out of each tribe;
Tada pozva Jošua dvanaest ljudi koje je bio izabrao između sinova Izraelovih, iz svakoga plemena po jednoga čovjeka,
5 and Joshua said unto them: Pass ye over, before the ark of Yahweh your God, into the midst of the Jordan, —and lift ye up, each man one stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel:
i reče im: “Idite pred Kovčeg Jahve, Boga svoga, u sredinu Jordana, i neka svaki donese na svojim ramenima po jedan kamen prema broju plemena Izraelovih.
6 that this may be a sign in your midst, —for your sons will ask in time to come, saying, What mean these stones to you?
To će biti na spomen među vama. Kad vas jednoga dana budu pitala vaša djeca: 'Što vam znače ovi kamenovi?'
7 Then shall ye say unto them—That the waters of the Jordan, were cut off, from before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, when it passed into the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, were cut off. So shall these stones become a memorial unto the sons of Israel, unto times age-abiding.
reći ćete im: 'Voda se Jordana razdijelila pred Kovčegom saveza Jahvina kad je prelazio preko Jordana.' I ovo će kamenje biti vječni spomen sinovima Izraelovim.”
8 And the sons of Israel did so, as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as spake Yahweh unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, —and carried them with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
Izraelci učine kako im je zapovjedio Jošua, uzmu dvanaest kamenova iz sredine Jordana, prema broju plemena Izraelovih, kako je Jahve naredio Jošui: prenesu ih do svoga noćišta i polože ondje.
9 Twelve stones also, did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where stood the feet of the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant, —and they have remained there until this day.
Zatim Jošua postavi usred Jordana dvanaest kamenova na mjesta gdje su stajale noge svećenika koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza. Ondje stoje i danas.
10 Now, the priests who were bearing the ark, continued standing in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished which Yahweh commanded Joshua, to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua, —the people therefore hasted, and passed over.
Svećenici koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza stajali su usred Jordana, sve dok se nije izvršilo sve što je Jahve zapovjedio Jošui da narod izvrši, sasvim onako kao što Mojsije bijaše naredio Jošui. A narod je žurno prelazio.
11 And so it was, as soon as all the people had made an end of passing over, —then passed over the ark of Yahweh, and the priests, in presence of the people.
Pošto je sav narod prešao, prijeđu i svećenici s Kovčegom saveza Jahvina i krenu pred narodom.
12 Also the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh, passed over, armed, before the sons of Israel, —as Moses had spoken unto them:
Tada sinovi Rubenovi i sinovi Gadovi i polovina plemena Manašeova u bojnoj opremi stanu na čelo sinova Izraelovih, kao što im bijaše zapovjedio Mojsije.
13 about forty thousand, equipped for the war, passed over before Yahweh, to battle, into the waste plains of Jericho.
Oko četrdeset tisuća naoružanih ljudi prešlo je pred Jahvom da se bori na Jerihonskim poljanama.
14 On that day, did Yahweh magnify Joshua in the eyes of all Israel, —and they revered him, as they revered Moses, all the days of his life.
Toga dana uzvisi Jahve Jošuu pred svim Izraelom i svi ga se bojahu, kao nekoć Mojsija, u sve dane njegova života.
15 Then spake Yahweh unto Joshua, saying:
Jahve reče Jošui:
16 Command the priests who are bearing the ark of testimony, —that they come up out of the Jordan.
“Zapovjedi svećenicima koji nose Kovčeg saveza neka izađu iz Jordana.”
17 So Joshua commanded the priests, saying, —Come ye up out of the Jordan.
Tada Jošua zapovjedi svećenicima: “Izađite iz Jordana!”
18 And it came to pass, when the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the feet of the priests were withdrawn unto the dry ground, then returned the waters of the Jordan unto their place, and went, as before, over all his banks.
A čim su svećenici koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina izašli isred Jordana i stali nogama na suho, vrate se vode Jordana na svoje mjesto i poteku kao i prije preko svojih obala.
19 So, the people, came up out of the Jordan, on the tenth of the first month, —and encamped in Gilgal, at the eastern end of Jericho.
Narod je izašao iz Jordana desetog dana prvoga mjeseca. Tada se utaborio u Gilgalu, istočno od Jerihona.
20 And, these twelve stones which they took out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up, in Gilgal.
A onih dvanaest kamenova što su ih uzeli sa sobom iz Jordana, Jošua postavi u Gilgalu.
21 Then spake he unto the sons of Israel, saying, —When your sons shall ask, in time to come, of their fathers, saying, —What mean these stones?
Tada reče Izraelcima: “Ako potomci vaši upitaju jednoga dana svoje očeve: 'Što znači ovo kamenje?' -
22 then shall ye let your sons know, saying, —On dry ground, came Israel over this Jordan;
vi ih poučite ovako: 'Izrael je ovdje po suhu prešao preko Jordana
23 in that Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before you, until ye had passed over, —as Yahweh your God had done unto the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over:
jer je Jahve, Bog vaš, osušio pred vama vodu Jordana dok ne prijeđoste, kao što je učinio Jahve, Bog vaš, s Morem crvenim kad ga je osušio pred nama dok ne prijeđosmo.
24 that all the peoples of the earth might know the hand of Yahweh, that, firm, it is; that they might revere Yahweh your God, all the days.
A sve to, da bi znali svi narodi zemlje koliko je moćna ruka Jahvina, i vi sami da se svagda bojite Jahve, Boga svoga.'”
