Joshua 23
1 After many days, when Yahweh had given rest to Israel from their enemies all around, and Joshua was old and well advanced in years,
Pripetilo se je, dolgo časa po tem, ko je Gospod dal počitek Izraelu pred vsemi njegovimi sovražniki naokoli, da je Józue postal star in zvrhan v starosti.
2 Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said to them, “I am old and well advanced in years.
Józue je dal poklicati ves Izrael in po njihove starešine, po njihove poglavarje, po njihove sodnike, po njihove častnike ter jim rekel: »Star sem in zvrhan v starosti.
3 You have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to all these nations because of you; for it is Yahweh your God who has fought for you.
Videli ste vse, kar je Gospod, vaš Bog, zaradi vas storil vsem tem narodom, kajti Gospod, vaš Bog, je ta, ki se je boril za vas.
4 Behold, I have allotted to you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea toward the going down of the sun.
Glejte, z žrebom sem vam razdelil vse te narode, ki preostajajo, da bodo dediščina za vaše rodove, od Jordana, z vsemi narodi, ki sem jih iztrebil, celo do vélikega morja proti zahodu.
5 Yahweh your God will thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight. You shall possess their land, as Yahweh your God spoke to you.
Gospod, vaš Bog, jih bo pregnal izpred vas in jih pognal iz vašega pogleda in vi boste vzeli v last njihovo deželo, kakor vam je Gospod, vaš Bog, obljubil.
6 “Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that you not turn away from it to the right hand or to the left;
Bodite torej zelo pogumni, da se držite in da storite vse, kar je zapisano v knjigi Mojzesove postave, da se ne obrnete vstran od tam ne k desni roki ne k levi,
7 that you not come among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves to them;
da ne pridete med te narode, te, ki preostajajo med vami, niti ne omenjajte imena njihovih bogov, niti ne povzročajte, da prisegate pri njih, niti jim ne služite, niti se jim ne priklanjajte,
8 but hold fast to Yahweh your God, as you have done to this day.
temveč se trdno pridružite Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, kakor ste storili ta dan.
9 “For Yahweh has driven great and strong nations out from before you. But as for you, no man has stood before you to this day.
Kajti Gospod je izpred vas pregnal velike in močne narode, toda glede vas, noben človek ni mogel obstati pred vami do tega dne.
10 One man of you shall chase a thousand; for it is Yahweh your God who fights for you, as he spoke to you.
En mož med vami jih bo pregnal tisoč, kajti Gospod, vaš Bog, on je ta, ki se bori za vas, kakor vam je obljubil.
11 Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love Yahweh your God.
Pazite torej nase, da ljubite Gospoda, svojega Boga.
12 “But if you do at all go back, and hold fast to the remnant of these nations, even these who remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you;
Sicer če boste na kakršenkoli način šli nazaj in se trdno pridružili preostanku teh narodov, torej tem, ki preostajajo med vami in boste z njimi sklepali poroke in šli noter k njim in oni k vam,
13 know for a certainty that Yahweh your God will no longer drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which Yahweh your God has given you.
zagotovo vedite, da Gospod, vaš Bog, izpred vas ne bo več pregnal nobenega izmed teh narodov, temveč vam bodo zanke, pasti in nadloge na vaših straneh in trni v vaših očeh, dokler ne izginete iz te dobre dežele, ki vam jo je dal Gospod, vaš Bog.
14 “Behold, today I am going the way of all the earth. You know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which Yahweh your God spoke concerning you. All have happened to you. Not one thing has failed of it.
Glejte, ta dan grem pot vse zemlje in vi veste v vseh svojih srcih in v vseh svojih dušah, da se ni izjalovila niti ena od vseh dobrih stvari, ki jih je Gospod, vaš Bog, govoril glede vas. Vse so se vam zgodile in niti ena stvar od tega se ni izjalovila.
15 It shall happen that as all the good things have come on you of which Yahweh your God spoke to you, so Yahweh will bring on you all the evil things, until he has destroyed you from off this good land which Yahweh your God has given you,
Zato se bo zgodilo, da kakor vse dobre stvari, ki so prišle nad vas, ki vam jih je Gospod, vaš Bog, obljubil, tako bo Gospod nad vas privedel vse zle stvari, dokler vas ne uniči iz te dobre dežele, ki vam jo je dal Gospod, vaš Bog.
16 when you disobey the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them. Then Yahweh’s anger will be kindled against you, and you will perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you.”
Ko ste prekršili zavezo Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki vam jo je zapovedal in šli ter služili drugim bogovom in se jim priklanjali, potem bo zoper vas vžgana Gospodova jeza in hitro boste izginili iz dobre dežele, ki vam jo je dal.«
