Joshua 9
1 And it came to pass, when all the kings who [were] on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite heard [these things],
Pripetilo se je, ko so vsi kralji, ki so bili na tej strani Jordana, na hribih, v dolinah in po vseh pokrajinah vélikega morja nasproti Libanonu, Hetejci, Amoréjci, Kánaanci, Perizéjci, Hivéjci in Jebusejci, slišali o tem,
2 That they assembled themselves, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
da so se zbrali skupaj, da se soglasno bojujejo z Józuetom in z Izraelom.
3 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,
Ko so prebivalci Gibeóna slišali, kaj je Józue storil Jerihi in Aju,
4 They did work craftily, and went and made as if they had been embassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine-bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
so prebrisano storili in odšli ter se naredili kakor, da so bili predstavniki in na svoje osle dali stare vreče in vinske mehove, stare in raztrgane ter jih povezali
5 And old shoes and patched upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry [and] moldy.
in stare čevlje, zakrpane na njihovih stopalih in stare obleke na njih in ves kruh njihove popotnice je bil suh in drobljiv.
6 And 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 ye a league with us.
Odšli so k Józuetu v tabor pri Gilgálu, in rekli njemu in Izraelovim možem: »Prišli smo iz daljne dežele, zdaj torej sklenite zavezo z nami.«
7 And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, It may be ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?
Možje iz Izraela so rekli Hivéjcem: »Morda prebivate med nami in kako naj sklenemo zavezo z vami?«
8 And they said to Joshua, we [are] thy servants. And Joshua said to them, Who [are] ye? and whence come ye?
Ti so Józuetu rekli: »Mi smo tvoji služabniki.« Józue jim je rekel: »Kdo ste? In od kod ste prišli?«
9 And they said to him, From a very far country thy servants have come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
Rekli so mu: »Iz zelo oddaljene dežele so prišli tvoji služabniki zaradi imena Gospoda, tvojega Boga, kajti slišali smo sloves o njem in vse, kar je storil v Egiptu
10 And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that [were] beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who [was] at Ashtaroth.
in vse, kar je storil dvema kraljema Amoréjcev, ki sta bila onkraj Jordana, hešbónskemu kralju Sihónu in bašánskemu kralju Ogu, ki je bil pri Aštarótu.
11 Wherefore our elders, and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, We [are] your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us:
Zato so nam naši starešine in vsi prebivalci dežele govorili, rekoč: ›S seboj vzemite živež za potovanje in pojdite, da jih srečate in jim recite: ›Mi smo vaši služabniki, zato zdaj sklenite zavezo z nami.‹‹
12 This our bread we took hot [for] our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is moldy:
Ta naš kruh smo vzeli še vročega za našo popotnico iz naših hiš na dan, ko smo šli, da gremo k vam, toda sedaj, glejte, je ta suh in drobljiv.
13 And these bottles of wine which we filled, [were] new, and behold, they are rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.
Ti vinski mehovi, ki smo jih napolnili, so bili novi, in glejte, raztrgani so. Te naše obleke in naši čevlji so postali stari zaradi razloga zelo dolgega potovanja.«
14 And the men took of their provisions, and asked not [counsel] at the mouth of the LORD.
Možje so vzeli od njihovega živeža, niso pa vprašali za nasvet pri Gospodovih ustih.
15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation swore to them.
Józue je z njimi sklenil mir in z njimi sklenil zavezo, da jih pusti žive, in princi skupnosti so jim prisegli.
16 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they [were] their neighbors, and [that] they dwelt among them.
Pripetilo pa se je ob koncu treh dni, potem ko so z njimi sklenili zavezo, da so slišali, da so bili njihovi sosedje in da so prebivali med njimi.
17 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities [were] Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim.
Izraelovi otroci so odpotovali in na tretji dan prišli v njihova mesta. Torej njihova mesta so bila Gibeón, Kefíra, Beerót in Kirját Jearím.
18 And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn to them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
Izraelovi otroci jih niso udarili, ker so jim princi skupnosti prisegli pri Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu. In vsa skupnost je godrnjala zoper prince.
19 But all the princes said to all the congregation, We have sworn to them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
Toda vsi princi so vsej skupnosti rekli: »Prisegli smo jim pri Gospodu, Izraelovem Bogu. Sedaj se jih torej ne smemo dotakniti.
20 This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we swore to them.
To jim bomo storili. Celo žive jih bomo pustili, da ne bi bil nad nami bes zaradi prisege, ki smo jim jo prisegli.«
21 And the princes said to them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood, and drawers of water to all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.
Princi so jim rekli: »Naj živijo, toda naj bodo drvarji in prinašalci vode vsej skupnosti, « kakor so jim princi obljubili.
22 And Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, Why have ye deceived us, saying, We [are] very far from you; when ye dwell among us?
Józue jih je dal poklicati in jim spregovoril, rekoč: »Zakaj ste nas preslepili, rekoč: ›Mi smo zelo daleč od vas, ‹ ko prebivate med nami?
23 Now therefore ye [are] cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bond-men, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
Zdaj ste torej prekleti in nihče izmed vas naj ne bo prost pred tem, da bi bili sužnji, drvarji in prinašalci vode za hišo mojega Boga.«
24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how the LORD thy 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 greatly afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
Józuetu so odgovorili in rekli: »Ker je bilo tvojim služabnikom zagotovo povedano to, kako je Gospod, tvoj Bog, zapovedal svojemu služabniku Mojzesu, da vam da vso deželo in da pred seboj uničite vse prebivalce dežele, zato smo bili zaradi vas boleče prestrašeni za svoja življenja in smo storili to stvar.
25 And now, behold, we [are] in thy hand: do as it seemeth good and right to thee to do to us,
In sedaj glej, mi smo v tvoji roki. Kakor se ti zdi dobro in pravilno, da nam storiš, stôri.«
26 And so did he to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
Tako jim je storil in jih osvobodil iz roke Izraelovih otrok, da jih niso pobili.
27 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even to this day, in the place which he should choose.
Józue jih je ta dan naredil za drvarje in prinašalce vode za skupnost in za Gospodov oltar, celo do tega dne, na kraju, ki bi ga izbral.
