Joshua 9
1 When all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and on all the shore of the great sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard of it
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 they gathered themselves together 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 But 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 also resorted to a ruse, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks on their donkeys, and old, torn-up and bound up wineskins,
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 and patched sandals on their feet, and wore old garments. All the bread of their food supply was dry and mouldy.
in stare čevlje, zakrpane na njihovih stopalih in stare obleke na njih in ves kruh njihove popotnice je bil suh in drobljiv.
6 They went to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country. Now therefore make a covenant 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 The men of Israel said to the Hivites, “What if you live amongst us? How could we make a covenant with you?”
Možje iz Izraela so rekli Hivéjcem: »Morda prebivate med nami in kako naj sklenemo zavezo z vami?«
8 They said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” Joshua said to them, “Who are you? Where do you come from?”
Ti so Józuetu rekli: »Mi smo tvoji služabniki.« Józue jim je rekel: »Kdo ste? In od kod ste prišli?«
9 They said to him, “Your servants have come from a very far country because of the name of the LORD your God; for we have heard of his fame, 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 who were beyond the 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 Our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, ‘Take supplies in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them. Tell them, “We are your servants. Now make a covenant 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 supplies out of our houses on the day we went out to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry, and has become mouldy.
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 These wineskins, which we filled, were new; and behold, they are torn. These our garments and our sandals have become old because 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 The men sampled their provisions, and didn’t ask counsel from the LORD’s mouth.
Možje so vzeli od njihovega živeža, niso pa vprašali za nasvet pri Gospodovih ustih.
15 Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live. 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 At the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they lived amongst 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 The children of Israel travelled and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath 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 The children of Israel didn’t strike them, because the princes of the congregation had sworn to them by the LORD, the God of Israel. 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, the 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 We will do this to them, and let them live; lest wrath be on 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 The princes said to them, “Let them live.” So they became wood cutters and drawers of water for all the congregation, as the princes had spoken to them.
Princi so jim rekli: »Naj živijo, toda naj bodo drvarji in prinašalci vode vsej skupnosti, « kakor so jim princi obljubili.
22 Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, “Why have you deceived us, saying, ‘We are very far from you,’ when you live amongst 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 you are cursed, and some of you will never fail to be slaves, both wood cutters 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 They answered Joshua, and said, “Because your servants were certainly told how the LORD your 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 very 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 Now, behold, we are in your hand. Do to us as it seems good and right to you to do.”
In sedaj glej, mi smo v tvoji roki. Kakor se ti zdi dobro in pravilno, da nam storiš, stôri.«
26 He did so to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, so that they didn’t kill them.
Tako jim je storil in jih osvobodil iz roke Izraelovih otrok, da jih niso pobili.
27 That day Joshua made them wood cutters and drawers of water for the congregation and for the LORD’s altar 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.
