Joshua 2
1 Joshua the son of Nun secretly sent two men out of Shittim as spies, saying, “Go, view the land, including Jericho.” They went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and slept there.
Nunov sin Józue je iz Šitíma na skrivaj poslal ogledovat dva moža, rekoč: »Pojdita, poglejta deželo, celo Jeriho.« Odšla sta ter prišla v hišo pocestnice, po imenu Rahába in tam prenočila.
2 The king of Jericho was told, “Behold, men of the children of Israel came in here tonight to spy out the land.”
Kralju Jerihe je bilo povedano, rekoč: »Glej, nocoj sta prišla sèm moža izmed Izraelovih otrok, da preiščeta deželo.«
3 Jericho’s king sent to Rahab, saying, “Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered into your house; for they have come to spy out all the land.”
Kralj Jerihe je poslal k Rahábi, rekoč: »Privedi naprej moža, ki sta prišla k tebi, ki sta vstopila v tvojo hišo, kajti prišla sta, da bi preiskala vso deželo.«
4 The woman took the two men and hid them. Then she said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I didn’t know where they came from.
Ženska je vzela dva moža ter ju skrila in rekla tako: »K meni sta prišla moža, toda nisem vedela od kod sta bila.
5 About the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, the men went out. Where the men went, I don’t know. Pursue them quickly. You may catch up with them.”
Pripetilo se je okoli časa zapiranja velikih vrat, ko je bilo temno, da sta moža odšla ven. Kam sta moža odšla, ne vem. Hitro ju zasledujte, kajti dohiteli ju boste.«
6 But she had brought them up to the roof, and hidden them under the stalks of flax which she had laid in order on the roof.
Toda ona ju je privedla gor na streho hiše in ju skrila s stebli lana, ki jih je razvrstila po strehi.
7 The men pursued them along the way to the fords of the Jordan River. As soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.
Možje so ju zasledovali po poti k Jordanu, k prehodom in takoj, ko so tisti, ki so ju zasledovali, odšli ven, so zaprli velika vrata.
8 Before they had lain down, she came up to them on the roof.
Preden sta se ulegla, je prišla k njima na streho
9 She said to the men, “I know that the LORD has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.
in možema rekla: »Vem, da vam je Gospod dal to deželo in da je vaša strahota padla na nas in da vsi prebivalci dežele zaradi vas slabijo.
10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
Kajti slišali smo, kako je Gospod za vas posušil vode Rdečega morja, ko ste prišli iz Egipta, in kaj ste storili dvema kraljema Amoréjcev, ki sta bila na drugi strani Jordana, Sihónu in Ogu, ki ste jih popolnoma uničili.
11 As soon as we had heard it, our hearts melted, and there wasn’t any more spirit in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.
Takoj, ko smo slišali te stvari, so se naša srca stopila niti tam zaradi vas ni ostalo nič več poguma v kateremkoli človeku, kajti Gospod, vaš Bog, on je Bog v nebesih zgoraj in na zemlji spodaj.
12 Now therefore, please swear to me by the LORD, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and give me a true sign;
Zdaj torej, prosim vaju, prisezita mi pri Gospodu, ker sem vama izkazala prijaznost, da bosta tudi vidva izkazala prijaznost hiši mojega očeta in mi dala zanesljivo znamenje.
13 and that you will save alive my father, my mother, my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives from death.”
In da boste mojega očeta rešili živega in mojo mater, moje brate, moje sestre in vse, kar imajo in naša življenja osvobodili pred smrtjo.«
14 The men said to her, “Our life for yours, if you don’t talk about this business of ours; and it shall be, when the LORD gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you.”
Moža sta ji odgovorila: »Najina življenja za vaša, če ne izustiš te naše stvari. Zgodilo se bo, ko nam Gospod da deželo, da bomo s teboj postopali prijazno in zvesto.«
15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was on the side of the wall, and she lived on the wall.
Potem ju je po vrvi spustila skozi okno, kajti njena hiša je bila na mestnem obzidju in prebivala je na obzidju.
16 She said to them, “Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers find you. Hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned. Afterward, you may go your way.”
Rekla jima je: »Spravita se do gore, da vaju ne bi srečali zasledovalci in tam se skrivajta tri dni, dokler se zasledovalci ne vrnejo in potem lahko gresta svojo pot.«
17 The men said to her, “We will be guiltless of this your oath which you’ve made us to swear.
Moža sta ji rekla: »Midva bova brez krivde glede te tvoje prisege, s katero si naju prisegla.
18 Behold, when we come into the land, tie this line of scarlet thread in the window which you used to let us down. Gather to yourself into the house your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household.
Glej, ko pridemo v deželo, boš to škrlatno vrv privezala na okno, skozi katero si naju spustila dol in domov k sebi boš privedla svojega očeta, svojo mater, svoje brate in vso družino svojega očeta.
19 It shall be that whoever goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, and we will be guiltless. Whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand is on him.
In zgodilo se bo, da kdorkoli bo šel ven skozi vrata tvoje hiše na ulico, bo njegova kri na njegovi glavi, midva pa bova brez krivde. In kdorkoli bo s teboj v hiši, njegova kri bo na najini glavi, če bo katerakoli roka nad njim.
20 But if you talk about this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless of your oath which you’ve made us to swear.”
Če izustiš to našo stvar, potem bova prosta tvoje prisege, s katero si naju primorala priseči.«
21 She said, “Let it be as you have said.” She sent them away, and they departed. Then she tied the scarlet line in the window.
Rekla je: »Glede na vajine besede, tako naj bo to.« Poslala ju je proč in sta odšla in na okno je privezala škrlatno vrv.
22 They went and came to the mountain, and stayed there three days, until the pursuers had returned. The pursuers sought them all along the way, but didn’t find them.
Odšla sta in prišla h gori ter tam ostala tri dni, dokler se zasledovalci niso vrnili. Zasledovalci so ju iskali po vsej poti, toda niso ju našli.
23 Then the two men returned, descended from the mountain, crossed the river, and came to Joshua the son of Nun. They told him all that had happened to them.
Tako sta se oba moža vrnila in spustila z gore, šla čez in prišla k Nunovemu sinu Józuetu in mu povedala vse stvari, ki so se jima pripetile.
24 They said to Joshua, “Truly the LORD has delivered all the land into our hands. Moreover, all the inhabitants of the land melt away before us.”
Józuetu sta rekla: »Resnično, Gospod je v naše roke izročil vso deželo, kajti celo vsi prebivalci dežele zaradi nas slabijo.«
