Joshua 10
1 Now when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were amongst them,
A kad ču jeruzalemski kralj Adoni-Sedek da je Jošua zauzeo Aj i da ga je izručio “heremu”, kletom uništenju, kao što je učinio s Jerihonom i njegovim kraljem, i da su stanovnici Gibeona učinili mir s Izraelom i uključili se među njih,
2 they were very afraid, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
vrlo se uplaši, jer je Gibeon bio značajan kao kakav kraljevski grad, veći od Aja, a svi žitelji njegovi bijahu ratnici.
3 Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Zato jeruzalemski kralj Adoni-Sedek poruči Hohamu, kralju hebronskom, Piramu, kralju jarmutskom, Jafiji, kralju lakiškom, i Debiru, kralju eglonskom:
4 “Come up to me and help me. Let’s strike Gibeon; for they have made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.”
“Dođite k meni i pomozite mi da udarimo na Gibeon, jer je učinio mir s Jošuom i Izraelcima!”
5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together and went up, they and all their armies, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.
Udruži se tada pet kraljeva amorejskih: kralj jeruzalemski, kralj hebronski, kralj jarmutski, kralj lakiški i kralj eglonski; krenu oni i sva njihova vojska, opsjednu grad Gibeon i počnu ga napadati.
6 The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Don’t abandon your servants! Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country have gathered together against us.”
Tada Gibeonci poručiše Jošui u tabor u Gilgalu: “Ne napuštaj svojih slugu, nego se požuri k nama da nas izbaviš i da nam pomogneš, jer su se protiv nas udružili svi amorejski kraljevi koji žive u Gorju.”
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and the whole army with him, including all the mighty men of valour.
I pođe Jošua iz Gilgala, a s njim i svi ratnici, sve vrsni junaci.
8 The LORD said to Joshua, “Don’t fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you.”
A Jahve reče Jošui: “Ne boj se! Ja sam ih predao u tvoje ruke i nijedan od njih neće se održati pred tobom.”
9 Joshua therefore came to them suddenly. He marched from Gilgal all night.
I udari na njih Jošua iznenadno, pošto je svu noć išao od Gilgala.
10 The LORD confused them before Israel. He killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to Makkedah.
I smete ih Jahve pred Izraelcima, koji ih teško poraziše kod Gibeona i potjeraše prema strmini kojom se uzlazi u Bet-Horon. Tukli su ih sve do Azeke i do Makede.
11 As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, the LORD hurled down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the children of Israel killed with the sword.
A dok su bježali pred Izraelom uz bethoronsku strminu, bacao je Jahve s neba na njih tuču kamenja sve do Azeke te su ginuli. I poginulo ih je više od tuče kamene nego što su ih pobili sinovi Izraelovi svojim mačevima.
12 Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel. He said in the sight of Israel, “Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop in the valley of Aijalon!”
Onoga dana kada Jahve predade Amorejce sinovima Izraelovim, obrati se Jošua Jahvi i poviče pred Izraelcima: “Stani, sunce, iznad Gibeona, i mjeseče, iznad dola Ajalona!”
13 The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn’t this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and didn’t hurry to go down about a whole day.
I stade sunce i zaustavi se mjesec sve dok se nije narod osvetio neprijateljima svojim. Ne piše li to u knjizi Pravednika? I stade sunce nasred neba i nije se nagnulo k zapadu gotovo cio dan.
14 There was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD listened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.
Nije bilo takva dana ni prije ni poslije da bi se Jahve odazvao glasu čovječjem. Tako je Jahve vojevao za Izraela.
15 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
Potom se vrati Jošua i sav Izrael s njim u tabor gilgalski.
16 These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
A onih pet kraljeva uteče i sakri se u pećinu kod Makede.
17 Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
Javiše Jošui: “Otkriveno je pet kraljeva sakrivenih u pećini kod Makede.”
18 Joshua said, “Roll large stones to cover the cave’s entrance, and set men by it to guard them;
A Jošua reče: “Navalite veliko kamenje pećini na otvor i postavite ljude pred nju da je čuvaju.
19 but don’t stay there. Pursue your enemies, and attack them from the rear. Don’t allow them to enter into their cities; for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”
A vi se drugi ne zadržavajte, nego tjerajte svoje neprijatelje i tucite ih s leđa; ne dajte im da uđu u svoje gradove, jer ih Jahve, Bog vaš, predade u vaše ruke.”
20 When Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,
A kad Jošua i sinovi Izraelovi okončaše bitku teškim pokoljem - utekla im je samo nekolicina preživjelih u tvrde gradove -
21 all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
vrati se narod zdrav i čitav k Jošui u tabor u Makedi. I nitko više ni da pisne protiv sinova Izraelovih.
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the cave entrance, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me.”
Tada reče Jošua: “Otvorite ulaz u pećinu i odande mi izvedite onih pet kraljeva.”
23 They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave to him: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
I učine tako, izvedu k njemu iz pećine onih pet kraljeva: kralja jeruzalemskoga, kralja hebronskoga, kralja jarmutskoga, kralja lakiškog i kralja eglonskog.
24 When they brought those kings out to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, “Come near. Put your feet on the necks of these kings.” They came near, and put their feet on their necks.
A kad ih izvedoše, pozva Jošua sve Izraelce i reče vojskovođama koji su ga pratili: “Priđite i stanite svojim nogama na vratove ovih kraljeva.” Oni pristupe i stanu im svojim nogama na vratove.
25 Joshua said to them, “Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all your enemies against whom you fight.”
Reče Jošua: “Ne bojte se i ne plašite se! Hrabri budite i odlučni, jer će tako Jahve učiniti sa svim vašim neprijateljima s kojima se budete borili.”
26 Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening.
Potom Jošua naredi da ih pogube i objese na pet stabala; i visjeli su ondje do večeri.
27 At the time of the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and threw them into the cave in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.
A o zalasku sunčanom zapovjedi Jošua te ih skidoše s drveća i baciše u istu onu pećinu u koju se bijahu sklonili te na otvor navališe golemo kamenje, koje je i danas ondje.
28 Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king. He utterly destroyed it and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining. He did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Istoga dana zauze Jošua Makedu: udari na grad oštricom mača i pogubi kralja njegova i sve živo u gradu izruči “heremu”, kletom uništenju, ne puštajući da itko utekne. I učini s kraljem makedskim kao što je učinio s kraljem jerihonskim.
29 Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
Ode zatim Jošua i sav Izrael iz Makede u Libnu i udari na nju.
30 The LORD delivered it also, with its king, into the hand of Israel. He struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining in it. He did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
I nju Jahve i njena kralja predade u ruke Izraelu, koji oštricom mača pobi sve živo u njoj; ne poštedje nikoga, a s kraljem Libne učini što i s kraljem jerihonskim.
31 Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.
Potom ode Jošua i svi Izraelci iz Libne u Lakiš, opsjede ga i napade.
32 The LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel. He took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls who were in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
Jahve predade Lakiš u ruke Izraela, koji ga osvoji sutradan: pobiše oštricom mača sve živo u njemu, onako kao što su učinili s Libnom.
33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him no one remaining.
Tada ustade Horam, kralj Gezera, da pomogne Lakišu, ali Jošua porazi njega i njegov narod tako te nitko ne preživje.
34 Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they encamped against it and fought against it.
Jošua krenu zatim sa svim Izraelcima od Lakiša na Eglon. Opsjedoše grad i napadoše ga.
35 They took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Osvojiše ga još istoga dana i pobiše sve oštricom mača. Sve živo izručiše kletom uništenju, kako su učinili s Lakišem.
36 Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.
Onda Jošua sa svim Izraelom krenu od Eglona na Hebron i napade ga.
37 They took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king and all its cities, and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were in it.
Osvojiše ga i pobiše sve oštricom mača, kralja i stanovništvo u svim mjestima koja mu pripadaju, ne poštedjevši nikoga. Učini s njime kao s Eglonom. Grad sa svim svojim stanovništvom bi izručen kletom uništenju.
38 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it.
Napokon krenu Jošua i sav Izrael s njim na Debir i napadoše ga.
39 He took it, with its king and all its cities. They struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining. As he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king.
Osvojiše ga i razoriše; kralja njegova i žitelje okolnih mjesta pobiše oštricom mača. Kletom uništenju izručiše sve njegovo stanovništvo. Ne poštedješe nikoga. I učini Jošua s Debirom i njegovim kraljem kao što je učinio s Hebronom i njegovim kraljem, s Libnom i njezinim kraljem.
40 So Joshua struck all the land, the hill country, the South, the lowland, the slopes, and all their kings. He left no one remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded.
Tako je Jošua zauzeo sav onaj kraj: Gorje i Negeb, Šefelu i Visočje - i sve njihove kraljeve. Ne ostavi preživjelih, već izruči kletom uništenju sve što je disalo, kako je zapovjedio Jahve, Bog Izraelov.
41 Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.
I pobi ih Jošua sve od Kadeš Barnee do Gaze i sav kraj Gošen do Gibeona.
42 Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
Sve tamošnje kraljeve i zemlje njihove zauze Jošua ujedanput, jer se za Izraela borio Jahve, Bog Izraelov.
43 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
Naposljetku se Jošua i sav Izrael vratiše u tabor u Gilgalu.
