Joshua 9
1 And it cometh to pass, when all the kings who [are] beyond the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the low-country, and in every haven of the great sea, over-against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, hear —
A kad to èuše svi carevi koji bijahu s ovu stranu Jordana po brdima i po dolinama i po svemu brijegu velikoga mora dori do Livana, Hetejin i Amorejin, Hananejin, Ferezejin, Jevejin i Jevusejin,
2 that they gather themselves together to fight with Joshua, and with Israel — one mouth.
Skupiše se svi da se složno biju s Isusom i s Izrailjem.
3 And the inhabitants of Gibeon have heard that which Joshua hath done to Jericho and to Ai,
A koji življahu u Gavaonu èuvši šta uèini Isus od Jerihona i od Gaja,
4 and they work, even they, with subtilty, and go, and feign to be ambassadors, and take old sacks for their asses, and wine-bottles, old, and rent, and bound up,
Uèiniše i oni prijevaru; jer otidoše i naèiniše se poslanici, i uzeše stare torbe na svoje magarce i stare mjehove vinske, poderane i iskrpljene,
5 and sandals, old and patched, on their feet, and old garments upon them, and all the bread of their provision is dry — it was crumbs.
I obuæu staru i iskrpljenu na noge svoje, i haljine stare na se; i sav hljeb što ponesoše na put bješe suh i pljesniv.
6 And they go unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, and say unto him, and unto the men of Israel, 'From a land far off we have come, and now, make with us a covenant;'
I otidoše k Isusu u oko u Galgalu, i rekoše njemu i ljudima Izrailjcima: doðosmo iz daljne zemlje; hajde uhvatite vjeru s nama.
7 and the men of Israel say unto the Hivite, 'It may be in our midst ye are dwelling, and how do we make with thee a covenant?'
A ljudi Izrailjci rekoše Jevejima: može biti da sjedite usred nas, pa kako æemo uhvatiti vjeru s vama?
8 and they say unto Joshua, 'Thy servants we [are].' And Joshua saith unto them, 'Who [are] ye? and whence come ye?'
Ali oni rekoše Isusu: mi smo sluge tvoje. A Isus im reèe: ko ste i otkuda idete?
9 And they say unto him, 'From a land very far off have thy servants come, for the name of Jehovah thy God, for we have heard His fame, and all that He hath done in Egypt,
A oni mu rekoše: iz zemlje vrlo daljne doðoše sluge tvoje u ime Gospoda Boga tvojega; jer èusmo slavu njegovu i sve što je uèinio u Misiru,
10 and all that He hath done to the two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who [is] in Ashtaroth.
I sve što je uèinio dvojici careva Amorejskih, koji bijahu s onu stranu Jordana, Sionu caru Esevonskom i Ogu caru Vasanskom koji bijaše u Astarotu.
11 'And our elders, and all the inhabitants of our land speak unto us, saying, Take in your hand provision for the way, and go to meet them, and ye have said unto them, Your servants we [are], and now, make with us a covenant;
I rekoše nam starješine naše i svi stanovnici naše zemlje govoreæi: uzmite brašnjenice na put, i idite im na susret i recite im: mi smo sluge vaše, hajde uhvatite vjeru s nama.
12 this our bread — hot we provided ourselves with it out of our houses, on the day of our coming out to go unto you, and now, lo, it is dry, and hath been crumbs;
Ovo je hljeb naš: vruæ smo ponijeli na put od kuæa svojih kad smo pošli pred vas, a sad eto osušio se i upljesnivio.
13 and these [are] the wine-bottles which we filled, new, and lo, they have rent; and these, our garments and our sandals, have become old, from the exceeding greatness of the way.'
A ovo su mjehovi vinski: nalismo nove, i eto su se veæ poderali; i haljine naše i obuæa naša ovetša od daljnoga puta.
14 And the men take of their provision, and the mouth of Jehovah have not asked;
I povjerovaše ljudi po brašnjenici, a ne upitaše Gospoda šta æe reæi.
15 and Joshua maketh with them peace, and maketh with them a covenant, to keep them alive; and swear to them do the princes of the company.
I Isus uèini s njima mir, i zadade im vjeru da æe ih ostaviti u životu; i zakleše im se knezovi od zbora.
16 And it cometh to pass, at the end of three days after that they have made with them a covenant, that they hear that they [are] their neighbours — that in their midst they are dwelling.
Ali poslije tri dana kad uhvatiše vjeru s njima, èuše da su im susjedi i da žive usred njih.
17 And the sons of Israel journey and come in unto their cities on the third day — and their cities [are] Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-Jearim —
Jer poðoše sinovi Izrailjevi i doðoše u gradove njihove treæi dan; a gradovi im bijahu: Gavaon i Kefira i Virot i Kirijat-Jarim.
18 and the sons of Israel have not smitten them, for sworn to them have the princes of the company by Jehovah God of Israel, and all the company murmur against the princes.
I ne pobiše ih sinovi Izrailjevi, jer im se knezovi od zbora zakleše Gospodom Bogom Izrailjevijem. Ali sav zbor vikaše na knezove.
19 And all the princes say unto all the company, 'We — we have sworn to them by Jehovah, God of Israel; and now, we are not able to come against them;
Tada svi knezovi rekoše svemu zboru: mi smo im se zakleli Gospodom Bogom Izrailjevijem; zato sada ne možemo dirati u njih.
20 this we do to them, and have kept them alive, and wrath is not upon us, because of the oath which we have sworn to them.'
Uèinimo im to, i ostavimo ih u životu, da ne doðe gnjev na nas radi zakletve kojom im se zaklesmo.
21 And the princes say unto them, 'They live, and are hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the company, as the princes spake to them.'
Još im rekoše knezovi: neka ostanu u životu, pa neka sijeku drva i nose vodu svemu zboru, kako im knezovi kazaše.
22 And Joshua calleth for them, and speaketh unto them, saying, 'Why have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you, and ye in our midst dwelling?
Potom ih dozva Isus i reèe im govoreæi: zašto nas prevariste i rekoste: vrlo smo daleko od vas, kad eto živite usred nas?
23 and now, cursed are ye, and none of you is cut off [from being] a servant, even hewers of wood and drawers of water, for the house of my God.'
Zato sada da ste prokleti i da ste dovijeka robovi i da sijeèete drva i nosite vodu za dom Gospoda Boga mojega.
24 And they answer Joshua and say, 'Because it was certainly declared to thy servants, that Jehovah thy God commanded Moses His servant to give to you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; and we fear greatly for ourselves because of you, and we do this thing;
A oni odgovoriše Isusu i rekoše: doista je bilo javljeno slugama tvojim kako je zapovjedio Gospod Bog tvoj Mojsiju sluzi svojemu da vam da svu ovu zemlju i da istrijebi sve stanovnike ove zemlje ispred vas; stoga se vrlo pobojasmo životu svojemu od vas i uèinismo tako.
25 and now, lo, we [are] in thy hand, as [it is] good, and as [it is] right in thine eyes to do to us — do.'
A sada eto smo ti u ruku; èini što misliš da je dobro i pravo da s nama uèiniš.
26 And he doth to them so, and delivereth them from the hand of the sons of Israel, and they have not slain them;
I uèini im tako i saèuva ih od ruku sinova Izrailjevijeh, te ih ne pobiše.
27 and Joshua maketh them on that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the company, and for the altar of Jehovah, unto this day, at the place which He doth choose.
I odredi ih Isus u taj dan da sijeku drva i nose vodu zboru i za oltar Gospodnji do današnjega dana na mjestu koje izbere.
