Joshua 4
1 And it cometh to pass, when all the nation hath completed to pass over the Jordan, that Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua, saying,
Pošto je sav narod prešao preko Jordana, reče Jahve Jošui:
2 'Take for you out of the people twelve men, one man — one man out of a tribe;
“Izaberite iz naroda dvanaest ljudi, od svakoga plemena po jednoga,
3 and command ye them, saying, Take up for you from this [place], from the midst of the Jordan, from the established standing-place of the feet of the priests, twelve stones, and ye have removed them over with you, and placed them in the lodging-place in which ye lodge to-night.'
i zapovjedite im: 'Dignite odavde, iz sredine Jordana - s mjesta gdje stoje noge svećenika - dvanaest kamenova koje ćete ponijeti sa sobom i položiti na mjestu gdje budete noćas prenoćili.'”
4 And Joshua calleth unto the twelve men whom he prepared out of the sons of Israel, one man — one man out of a tribe;
Tada pozva Jošua dvanaest ljudi koje je bio izabrao između sinova Izraelovih, iz svakoga plemena po jednoga čovjeka,
5 and Joshua saith to them, 'Pass over before the ark of Jehovah your God unto the midst of the Jordan and lift up for you each, one stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel,
i reče im: “Idite pred Kovčeg Jahve, Boga svoga, u sredinu Jordana, i neka svaki donese na svojim ramenima po jedan kamen prema broju plemena Izraelovih.
6 so that this is a sign in your midst, when your children ask hereafter, saying, What [are] these stones to you?
To će biti na spomen među vama. Kad vas jednoga dana budu pitala vaša djeca: 'Što vam znače ovi kamenovi?'
7 that ye have said to them, Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off, at the presence of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; in its passing over into the Jordan were the waters of the Jordan cut off; and these stones have been for a memorial to the sons of Israel — to the age.'
reći ćete im: 'Voda se Jordana razdijelila pred Kovčegom saveza Jahvina kad je prelazio preko Jordana.' I ovo će kamenje biti vječni spomen sinovima Izraelovim.”
8 And the sons of Israel do so as Joshua commanded, and take up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah hath spoken unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and remove them over with them unto the lodging-place, and place them there,
Izraelci učine kako im je zapovjedio Jošua, uzmu dvanaest kamenova iz sredine Jordana, prema broju plemena Izraelovih, kako je Jahve naredio Jošui: prenesu ih do svoga noćišta i polože ondje.
9 even the twelve stones hath Joshua raised up out of the midst of the Jordan, the place of the standing of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant, and they are there unto this day.
Zatim Jošua postavi usred Jordana dvanaest kamenova na mjesta gdje su stajale noge svećenika koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza. Ondje stoje i danas.
10 And the priests bearing the ark are standing in the midst of the Jordan till the completion of the whole thing which Jehovah commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua, and the people haste and pass over.
Svećenici koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza stajali su usred Jordana, sve dok se nije izvršilo sve što je Jahve zapovjedio Jošui da narod izvrši, sasvim onako kao što Mojsije bijaše naredio Jošui. A narod je žurno prelazio.
11 And it cometh to pass when all the people have completed to pass over, that the ark of Jehovah passeth over, and the priests, in the presence of the people;
Pošto je sav narod prešao, prijeđu i svećenici s Kovčegom saveza Jahvina i krenu pred narodom.
12 and the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, pass over, by fifties, before the sons of Israel, as Moses had spoken unto them;
Tada sinovi Rubenovi i sinovi Gadovi i polovina plemena Manašeova u bojnoj opremi stanu na čelo sinova Izraelovih, kao što im bijaše zapovjedio Mojsije.
13 about forty thousand, armed ones of the host, passed over before Jehovah for battle, unto the plains of Jericho.
Oko četrdeset tisuća naoružanih ljudi prešlo je pred Jahvom da se bori na Jerihonskim poljanama.
14 On that day hath Jehovah made Joshua great in the eyes of all Israel, and they reverence him, as they reverenced Moses, all days of his life.
Toga dana uzvisi Jahve Jošuu pred svim Izraelom i svi ga se bojahu, kao nekoć Mojsija, u sve dane njegova života.
15 And Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua, saying,
Jahve reče Jošui:
16 'Command the priests bearing the ark of the testimony, and they come up out of the Jordan.'
“Zapovjedi svećenicima koji nose Kovčeg saveza neka izađu iz Jordana.”
17 And Joshua commandeth the priests, saying, 'Come ye up out of the Jordan.'
Tada Jošua zapovjedi svećenicima: “Izađite iz Jordana!”
18 And it cometh to pass, in the coming up of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the midst of the Jordan — the soles of the feet of the priests have been drawn up into the dry ground — and the waters of the Jordan turn back to their place, and go as heretofore over all its banks.
A čim su svećenici koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina izašli isred Jordana i stali nogama na suho, vrate se vode Jordana na svoje mjesto i poteku kao i prije preko svojih obala.
19 And the people have come up out of the Jordan on the tenth of the first month, and encamp in Gilgal, in the extremity east of Jericho;
Narod je izašao iz Jordana desetog dana prvoga mjeseca. Tada se utaborio u Gilgalu, istočno od Jerihona.
20 and these twelve stones, which they have taken out of the Jordan, hath Joshua raised up in Gilgal.
A onih dvanaest kamenova što su ih uzeli sa sobom iz Jordana, Jošua postavi u Gilgalu.
21 And he speaketh unto the sons of Israel, saying, 'When your sons ask their fathers hereafter, saying, What [are] these stones?
Tada reče Izraelcima: “Ako potomci vaši upitaju jednoga dana svoje očeve: 'Što znači ovo kamenje?' -
22 then ye have caused your sons to know, saying, On dry land Israel passed over this Jordan;
vi ih poučite ovako: 'Izrael je ovdje po suhu prešao preko Jordana
23 because Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan at your presence, till your passing over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red Sea which He dried up at our presence till our passing over;
jer je Jahve, Bog vaš, osušio pred vama vodu Jordana dok ne prijeđoste, kao što je učinio Jahve, Bog vaš, s Morem crvenim kad ga je osušio pred nama dok ne prijeđosmo.
24 so that all the people of the land do know the hand of Jehovah that it [is] strong, so that ye have reverenced Jehovah your God all the days.'
A sve to, da bi znali svi narodi zemlje koliko je moćna ruka Jahvina, i vi sami da se svagda bojite Jahve, Boga svoga.'”
