Joshua 23
1 Yahweh enabled the Israelis to live peacefully [for many years] with the people-groups that were around them.
Pripetilo se je, dolgo časa po tem, ko je Gospod dal počitek Izraelu pred vsemi njegovimi sovražniki naokoli, da je Józue postal star in zvrhan v starosti.
2 Joshua was now very old. [One day] he summoned the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the leaders of the clans, the judges, and [other] officials. He said to them, “I am now very old.
Józue je dal poklicati ves Izrael in po njihove starešine, po njihove poglavarje, po njihove sodnike, po njihove častnike ter jim rekel: »Star sem in zvrhan v starosti.
3 You people have seen what Yahweh our God has done to help you defeat the people-groups [that lived in this land]. Yahweh our God has fought for you.
Videli ste vse, kar je Gospod, vaš Bog, zaradi vas storil vsem tem narodom, kajti Gospod, vaš Bog, je ta, ki se je boril za vas.
4 But do not forget that he has given to you all this land, from the Jordan [River in the east] to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, all this land that I have allotted to you.
Glejte, z žrebom sem vam razdelil vse te narode, ki preostajajo, da bodo dediščina za vaše rodove, od Jordana, z vsemi narodi, ki sem jih iztrebil, celo do vélikega morja proti zahodu.
5 Yahweh our God will compel the people who are still living there to leave. He will push them out as you advance. Then the land will be yours, as Yahweh has promised you.
Gospod, vaš Bog, jih bo pregnal izpred vas in jih pognal iz vašega pogleda in vi boste vzeli v last njihovo deželo, kakor vam je Gospod, vaš Bog, obljubil.
6 “Be sure that you obey all the laws that are in the book that Moses wrote. Do not disobey any part of it [IDM].
Bodite torej zelo pogumni, da se držite in da storite vse, kar je zapisano v knjigi Mojzesove postave, da se ne obrnete vstran od tam ne k desni roki ne k levi,
7 Do not associate with the people who live among us [who are not Israelis and who worship other gods]. Do not mention the names of their gods, and do not use the names of their gods when you promise to do something. Do not serve their gods or worship them.
da ne pridete med te narode, te, ki preostajajo med vami, niti ne omenjajte imena njihovih bogov, niti ne povzročajte, da prisegate pri njih, niti jim ne služite, niti se jim ne priklanjajte,
8 You must continue to do what Yahweh our God wants us to do, as you have been doing.
temveč se trdno pridružite Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, kakor ste storili ta dan.
9 “Yahweh has forced [many] very powerful people-groups to leave as you advanced. No people-group has been able to defeat you.
Kajti Gospod je izpred vas pregnal velike in močne narode, toda glede vas, noben človek ni mogel obstati pred vami do tega dne.
10 Each of you will be able to cause 1,000 of them to run away, because Yahweh your God will fight for you, just like he promised to do.
En mož med vami jih bo pregnal tisoč, kajti Gospod, vaš Bog, on je ta, ki se bori za vas, kakor vam je obljubil.
11 So be sure that you continue to love Yahweh our God.
Pazite torej nase, da ljubite Gospoda, svojega Boga.
12 “If you turn away from doing what Yahweh desires and you associate with the people who are not Israelis, and if you marry them,
Sicer če boste na kakršenkoli način šli nazaj in se trdno pridružili preostanku teh narodov, torej tem, ki preostajajo med vami in boste z njimi sklepali poroke in šli noter k njim in oni k vam,
13 then you can be sure that Yahweh our God will not help you to expel those people-groups from your land. They will be [like] traps [DOU, MET] [that will catch you]. They will be [like] whips [that strike] your backs, and like thorns [that will scratch] your eyes. As a result, none of you will be left in this good land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.
zagotovo vedite, da Gospod, vaš Bog, izpred vas ne bo več pregnal nobenega izmed teh narodov, temveč vam bodo zanke, pasti in nadloge na vaših straneh in trni v vaših očeh, dokler ne izginete iz te dobre dežele, ki vam jo je dal Gospod, vaš Bog.
14 “It is almost time for me to die, like everyone does [EUP]. You know in your hearts [DOU] that Yahweh has done for you [LIT] everything that he promised to do.
Glejte, ta dan grem pot vse zemlje in vi veste v vseh svojih srcih in v vseh svojih dušah, da se ni izjalovila niti ena od vseh dobrih stvari, ki jih je Gospod, vaš Bog, govoril glede vas. Vse so se vam zgodile in niti ena stvar od tega se ni izjalovila.
15 He has given to you all the good things that he promised. In the same way, the other things that he promised, [things that are not good], will also happen. He said that if you do what is evil, he will get rid of you and send you away from this good land that he has given to you.
Zato se bo zgodilo, da kakor vse dobre stvari, ki so prišle nad vas, ki vam jih je Gospod, vaš Bog, obljubil, tako bo Gospod nad vas privedel vse zle stvari, dokler vas ne uniči iz te dobre dežele, ki vam jo je dal Gospod, vaš Bog.
16 That will happen if you do not obey the commands that Yahweh our God told you to obey. If you serve other gods and worship them, Yahweh will become very angry with you. Very quickly [he will expel you from] this good land that he has given to you, [and] none of you will be left here.”
Ko ste prekršili zavezo Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki vam jo je zapovedal in šli ter služili drugim bogovom in se jim priklanjali, potem bo zoper vas vžgana Gospodova jeza in hitro boste izginili iz dobre dežele, ki vam jo je dal.«
