Joshua 24
1 [Many years later], Joshua summoned representatives of all the tribes of Israel. He gathered together the elders, the leaders, the judges, and the other officials at Shechem [city]. He told them to listen to what God wanted to tell them.
Потом сабра Исус сва племена Израиљева у Сихем, и сазва старешине Израиљеве и поглаваре његове и судије његове и управитеље његове, и сташе пред Богом.
2 Joshua said to all of them, “This is what Yahweh, the God we Israeli people worship, is saying: ‘Long ago, your ancestors, including Abraham’s father Terah and Abraham’s younger brother Nahor, lived on the east side of the Euphrates River.
И рече Исус свом народу: Овако вели Господ Бог Израиљев: С оне стране реке живеше некада оци ваши, Тара отац Аврамов и отац Нахоров, и служише другим боговима.
3 But I took your ancestor Abraham from that land east of the Euphrates River, and I led him as he lived in various places in this land of Canaan, and I enabled him to have many descendants. First, I enabled him to have a son, Isaac.
Али узех оца вашег Аврама испреко реке и проведох га кроз сву земљу хананску и умножих семе његово давши му Исака.
4 When Isaac grew up, I enabled him to have twin sons, Jacob and Esau. I enabled Esau to live in the hilly area in Seir region, but many years later Jacob and his sons and their families went down to live in Egypt.
А Исаку дадох Јакова и Исава, и дадох Исаву гору Сир да је његова; а Јаков и синови његови сиђоше у Мисир.
5 “[Many years later], I sent Moses and his older brother Aaron to help your people, and I caused [the people of] Egypt to suffer very much because of what I did there. Then I enabled your ancestors to leave Egypt.
И послах Мојсија и Арона, и мучих Мисир, како учиних усред њега, потом вас изведох.
6 When I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, they came to the Red Sea. The Egyptian army pursued them, some riding in chariots and others on horses, and they also arrived at the Red Sea.
А кад изведох из Мисира оце ваше, дођоше на море, а Мисирци гонише оце ваше с колима и с коњицима до Црвеног мора.
7 Then [your ancestors] pleaded with me to help them. So he caused (darkness/a very dark cloud) to come between your ancestors and the Egyptian army, so that the Egyptian army could not see your ancestors. I separated the water in the Red Sea so that your ancestors could cross it, but when the Egyptian army tried to cross in the same way to pursue them, I caused the water to come back and cover them, and the Egyptian soldiers all drowned, as your ancestors watched and were amazed [IDM]. But after that, you lived in the desert for many years.
Тада завапише ка Господу, и поставих таму између вас и Мисираца, и наведох на њих море које их затрпа, и очи ваше видеше шта учиних од Мисираца; потом остасте у пустињи дуго времена.
8 “Then I brought your [ancestors] to the area where the groups who were descendants of Amor lived, east of the Jordan River. They fought against you, but I enabled you to defeat them [IDM]. I [enabled you to] destroy them so that you could live in their land [IDM].
Иза тога доведох вас у земљу Амореја који живљаху с оне стране Јордана; и они се побише с вама, али их дадох вама у руке, те наследисте земљу њихову, и истребих их испред вас.
9 Then, Zippor’s son Balak, the King of Moab, (decided that his army would fight against/opposed) the Israelis. He summoned Beor’s son Balaam and asked him to curse you.
А Валак син Сефоров, цар моавски, подиже се да се бије с Израиљем, и посла те дозва Валама сина Веоровог да вас прокуне.
10 But I would not do what Balaam asked, so he (blessed/said that I would do great things for) you four times, and I did not enable the army of Moab to defeat you [IDM].
Али не хтех послушати Валама, те вас он још благослови, и избавих вас из руке његове.
11 “Then you all crossed the Jordan River and came to Jericho. The people of Jericho prepared to fight against you, [and the armies of] the descendants of Amor, Periz, Canaan, Heth, Girgash, Hiv, and Jebus [all prepared to do the same thing] but I enabled you to defeat [IDM] them all.
Потом пређосте преко Јордана, и дођосте под Јерихон, и бише се с вама Јерихоњани, Амореји и Ферезеји и Хананеји и Хетеји и Гергесеји и Јевеји и Јевусеји; и дадох их вама у руке.
12 I am the one who caused them to panic as you advanced and enabled you to defeat them, as I had enabled you to do earlier to the two kings of the groups who were descendants of Amor. You did not defeat them by using your own bows and arrows and swords; [it was I who defeated them].
И послах пред вама стршљенове, који их изагнаше испред вас, два цара аморејска; не мачем твојим ни луком твојим.
13 So I gave you a land that you had not tilled/planted, and I gave you cities that you did not build. [Now] you live in those [cities] and you eat the grapes from the grapevines that you did not plant, and you eat olives from trees that you did not plant.’”
И дадох вам земљу, коју не радисте, и градове, које не градисте, и у њима живите; из винограда и из маслиника, којих нисте садили, једете.
14 [Then Joshua said to the people], “[Because of all that] Yahweh [has done for you], revere him, and serve/worship him very faithfully. Throw away the idols that your ancestors worshiped on the east/other side of the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Serve only Yahweh.
Зато сада бојте се Господа и служите Му верно и истинито; и поврзите богове, којима су служили оци ваши с оне стране реке и у Мисиру, па служите Господу.
15 But if you do not want to serve/worship Yahweh, you should decide today what [gods] you will serve/worship. You should decide whether you will serve/worship the gods that your ancestors who lived on the other/east side of the Euphrates River served, or whether you will serve/worship the gods that the descendants of Amor, who previously lived in the land where you are now living, [serve/worship]. But as for me and my family [MTY], we will serve/worship Yahweh!”
Ако ли вам није драго служити Господу, изаберите себи данас коме ћете служити: или богове којима су служили оци ваши с оне стране реке, или богове Амореја у чијој земљи живите; а ја и дом мој служићемо Господу.
16 The Israeli people answered, “We will never quit [serving/worshiping] Yahweh! We would never [think of] [IDM] serving/worshiping other gods!
А народ одговори и рече: Не дај Боже да оставимо Господа да служимо другим боговима.
17 It was our God, Yahweh, who brought our parents and grandparents up out of Egypt. [He rescued them] from that land where they were slaves. As he rescued them, they saw him perform great miracles. He protected them all the time when they were traveling. He protected them from all the people-groups through whose territory they traveled.
Јер Господ Бог наш, Он је извео нас и оце наше из земље мисирске, из дома ропског, и Он је учинио пред нашим очима оне знаке велике, и чувао нас целим путем којим идосмо, и по свим народима кроз које прођосмо.
18 As our forefathers advanced, Yahweh expelled the descendants of Amor and the other people-groups who lived in this land. Yahweh is our God, so [we are saying that] we also will serve/worship him.”
И Господ је истерао испред нас све народе и Амореје, који живљаху у овој земљи; и ми ћемо служити Господу, јер је Бог наш.
19 Joshua replied to the people, “[I think that] you are not able to serve/worship Yahweh, because he is a holy God. He will not forgive your sinning and rebelling [against him]. He demands that you serve/worship only him [IDM].
А Исус рече народу: Не можете служити Господу, јер је свет Бог, Бог ревнитељ, неће подносити ваше невере и ваше грехе.
20 He has been good to you [in the past], but if you turn away from him and serve/worship foreign/other gods, he will turn [against you] and he will cause you to experience disasters. He will punish [IDM] you severely!”
Кад оставите Господа и станете служити туђим боговима, окренуће се и зло ће вам учинити, и истребиће вас, пошто вам је добро чинио.
21 But the people replied to Joshua, “No, [we will not turn away from worshiping/serving Yahweh] We will serve/worship Yahweh!”
А народ рече Исусу: Не, него ћемо Господу служити.
22 Then Joshua said, “You yourselves are saying that you have decided to serve/worship Yahweh.” They replied, “Yes, we are saying that.”
А Исус рече народу: Сами сте себи сведоци да сте изабрали себи Господа да Му служите. И они рекоше: Сведоци смо.
23 Then Joshua said, “Since [you have decided] that, you must throw away all the other gods/idols that you have among you. You must also promise that you will wholeheartedly give yourselves to Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [serve/worship].”
Поврзите дакле богове туђе што су међу вама, и привијте срце своје ка Господу Богу Израиљевом.
24 The people replied, “We will serve/worship Yahweh, our God, and obey him.”
А народ рече Исусу: Господу Богу свом служићемо и глас Његов слушаћемо.
25 That day, Joshua established an agreement between the people and Yahweh. He wrote for them all the laws that they were required to obey.
Тако учини Исус завет с народом онај дан и постави им уредбе и законе у Сихему.
26 He wrote all those laws on a scroll. He called it ‘The laws of God’. Then he [told some men to] set up a large stone there at Shechem, under the [large] oak tree near the place where [they worshiped] Yahweh.
И записа Исус ове речи у књигу закона Божјег; и узевши камен велик подиже га онде под храстом који беше код светиње Господње.
27 He said to all the people, “Look! [It is as though] this stone has heard everything that Yahweh said to you [and that you promised Yahweh]. It will serve as a witness against you if you rebel against your God!”
И рече Исус свом народу: Ево, камен овај нека вам буде сведочанство; јер је чуо све речи Господње, које нам је говорио; и нека вам буде сведочанство да не бисте слагали Богу свом.
28 Then Joshua sent the people away, and all of them returned to their own areas/homes.
Потом распусти Исус народ, сваког на његово наследство.
29 Some time after that, Nun’s son Joshua, the faithful servant of Yahweh, died. He was 110 years old when he died.
А после ових ствари умре Исус син Навин слуга Господњи, кад му беше сто и десет година.
30 The Israeli people buried his body on his own property in Timnath-Serah [town] town. It is north of Gaash Mountain in the hilly area of the tribe who were descendants of Ephraim.
И погребоше га у међама наследства његовог у Тамнат-Сараху, који је у гори Јефремовој, са севера гори Гасу.
31 The Israeli people served/worshiped Yahweh as long as Joshua was alive. After Joshua died, they continued serving/worshiping Yahweh while the elders who had experienced everything that Yahweh had done for the Israeli people were still alive.
И служи Израиљ Господу свега века Исусовог и свега века старешина, које дуго живеше иза Исуса и који су знали сва дела Господња, која учини Израиљу.
32 Joseph’s bones, which the Israeli people had brought with them from Egypt, were also buried at Shechem. The people buried them in the piece of land that Jacob had bought long ago for 100 pieces of silver from Hamor, the father of Shechem. That piece of land was in the area that was given to the people who were descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, Joseph’s sons.
И кости Јосифове, које донесоше синови Израиљеви из Мисира, погребоше у Сихему, у делу поља које је купио Јаков од синова Емора оца Сихемовог за сто новаца; и бише у синова Јосифових у наследству њиховом.
33 Eleazar, the Supreme Priest, the son of Aaron, also died. They buried his body at Gibeah, in the area that had been given to Eleazar’s son Phinehas, in the hilly area that belonged to the people who were descendants of Ephraim.
И Елеазар син Аронов умре, и погребоше га на брду Финеса сина његовог, које му беше дано у гори Јефремовој.
