< Joshua 1 >

1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses's minister, saying,
Torej po smrti Mojzesa, Gospodovega služabnika, se je pripetilo, da je Gospod spregovoril Nunovemu sinu Józuetu, Mojzesovemu služabniku, rekoč:
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, to the land which I do give to them, [even] to the children of Israel.
»Moj služabnik Mojzes je mrtev. Sedaj torej vstani, pojdi čez ta Jordan, ti in vse to ljudstvo, v deželo, ki jo dajem njim, torej Izraelovim otrokom.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given to you, as I said to Moses.
Vsak kraj, na katerega bo stopil podplat tvojega stopala, to sem ti dal, kakor sem rekel Mojzesu.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea towards the setting of the sun, shall be your border.
Od divjine in tega Libanona, celo do velike reke, reke Evfrat, vso deželo Hetejcev in do velikega morja proti zahajanju sonca, bo vaša pokrajina.
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Tam noben mož ne bo zmožen obstati pred teboj vse dni tvojega življenja. Kakor sem bil z Mojzesom, tako bom s teboj. Ne bom te razočaral niti te ne bom zapustil.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for to this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
Bodi močan in odločnega poguma, kajti temu ljudstvu boš v dediščino razdelil deželo, za katero sem prisegel njihovim očetom, da jim jo dam.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
Samo močan bodi in zelo pogumen, da boš lahko obeležil, da storiš glede na vso postavo, ki ti jo je moj služabnik Mojzes zapovedal. Ne obrni se od nje ne k desni roki ne k levi, da boš lahko uspeval kamorkoli greš.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate in it day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all [that is] written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Ta knjiga postave ne bo odšla od tvojih ust, temveč boš o njej premišljeval podnevi in ponoči, da boš lahko obeležil, da storiš glede na vse to, kar je zapisano v njej, kajti takrat boš naredil svojo pot uspešno in takrat boš imel dober uspeh.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Mar ti nisem jaz zapovedal? Bodi močan in odločnega poguma. Ne bodi prestrašen niti ne bodi zaprepaden, kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je s teboj, kamorkoli greš.«
10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
Potem je Józue zapovedal častnikom ljudstva, rekoč:
11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you provisions; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
»Preidite skozi vojsko in zapovejte ljudstvu, rekoč: ›Pripravite svoj živež, kajti v treh dneh boste šli preko tega Jordana, da vstopite, da vzamete v last deželo, ki vam jo daje Gospod, vaš Bog, da jo vzamete v last.‹«
12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spoke Joshua, saying,
Rubenovcem in Gádovcem in polovici Manásejevega rodu pa je Józue spregovoril, rekoč:
13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
»Spomnite se besede, ki vam jo je zapovedal Gospodov služabnik Mojzes, rekoč: › Gospod, vaš Bog, vam je dal počitek in vam je dal to deželo.‹
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valor, and help them;
Vaše žene, vaši malčki in vaša živina bodo ostali v deželi, ki vam jo je dal Mojzes na tej strani Jordana, toda vi boste pred vašimi brati prečkali oboroženi, vsi močni junaški možje in jim pomagali,
15 Until the LORD shall have given your brethren rest, as [he hath given] you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return to the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side of Jordan towards the sun-rising.
dokler Gospod ne da vašim bratom počitek, kakor ga je dal vam in tudi oni ne vzamejo v last dežele, ki jim jo daje Gospod, vaš Bog. Potem se boste vrnili v deželo svoje posesti in jo uživali, ki vam jo je dal Gospodov služabnik Mojzes na tej strani Jordana, proti sončnemu vzhodu.«
16 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us, we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
Józuetu so odgovorili, rekoč: »Vse, kar nam zapoveduješ, bomo storili in kamor nas pošlješ, bomo šli.
17 According as we hearkened to Moses in all things, so will we hearken to thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
Glede na to, kakor smo Mojzesu prisluhnili v vseh stvareh, tako bomo prisluhnili tebi. Samo Gospod, tvoj Bog, naj bo s teboj, kakor je bil z Mojzesom.
18 Every one that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken to thy words in all that thou commandest him, shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
Kdorkoli je ta, ki se upre zoper tvojo zapoved in ne bo prisluhnil tvojim besedam v vsem, kar mu zapoveš, bo usmrčen. Samo močan bodi in odločnega poguma.«
