< Isus Navin 10 >

1 A kad èu Adonisedek car Jerusalimski da je Isus uzeo Gaj i raskopao ga, kao što je uèinio s Jerihonom i njegovijem carem, tako da je uèinio i s Gajem i njegovijem carem, i da su Gavaonjani uèinili mir s Izrailjem i stoje usred njih,
Later, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua’s army had captured Ai [town] and had destroyed everything in the town. He heard that they had done to the people of Ai and to their king the same thing that they had done to the people of Jericho and their king. He also heard that the people of Gibeon [city] had made a peace treaty with the Israeli people, and that the people of Gibeon were now living near the Israelis and being protected by them.
2 Uplaši se vrlo; jer Gavaon bijaše velik grad kao kakav carski grad, i bijaše veæi od Gaja, i svi ljudi u njemu bijahu hrabri.
Because of that, he and the people whom he ruled became very afraid, because Gibeon was an important city, like the other cities that had kings. And [even though] Gibeon was a larger city than Ai and all its soldiers were good fighters, [they thought Joshua’s army might defeat them].
3 Zato posla Adonisedek car Jerusalimski k Oamu caru Hevronskom i k Piramu caru Jarmutskom i k Jafiji caru Lahiskom i k Daviru caru Jeglonskom, i poruèi:
So King Adonizedek sent a message to Hosham the king of Hebron [city], to Piram the king of Jarmuth [city], to Jarmuth the king of Lachish [city], and to Debir the king of Eglon [city].
4 Hodite k meni, i pomozite mi da udarimo na Gavaon, jer uèini mir s Isusom i sa sinovima Izrailjevim.
In the message he said, “Please come up with your armies and help me to attack Gibeon, because the people of Gibeon have made a peace treaty with Joshua and the Israelis.”
5 I skupi se i poðe pet careva Amorejskih, car Jerusalimski, car Hevronski, car Jarmutski, car Lahiski, car Jeglonski, oni i sva vojska njihova, i stavši u oko pod Gavaonom poèeše ga biti.
So those five kings who ruled all the groups who were descendants of Amor—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Debir—came up with all of their soldiers and surrounded the city. Then they prepared to attack it.
6 Tada Gavaonjani poslaše k Isusu u oko u Galgalu i rekoše: nemoj dignuti ruku svojih sa sluga svojih; hodi brzo k nama, izbavi nas i pomozi nam, jer se skupiše na nas svi carevi Amorejski koji žive u gorama.
So the people of Gibeon sent a message to Joshua while he was in the camp at Gilgal. They said, “We are your servants. So do not forsake us. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because the kings of all of the groups descended from Amor and their armies have joined their forces and have come from the hilly area to attack us!”
7 I izide Isus iz Galgala, on i s njim sav narod što bješe za boj, svi junaci.
So Joshua and all his army, including the soldiers who were his best fighting men, marched up from Gilgal.
8 I Gospod reèe Isusu: ne boj ih se; jer ih dadoh tebi u ruke, nijedan ih se neæe održati pred tobom.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of those armies! I will enable your army to defeat them [IDM]. None of them will be able to (resist/fight and defeat) your army.”
9 I Isus udari na njih iznenada, išavši cijelu noæ od Galgala,
Joshua’s army marched all night and arrived very early in the morning.
10 I smete ih Gospod pred Izrailjem, koji ih ljuto pobi kod Gavaona, pa ih potjera putem kako se ide u Vetoron, i sjekoše ih do Azike i do Makide.
They attacked their enemies before anyone knew that they had come. Yahweh caused their enemies to (become very confused/start running in all directions) when they saw the Israeli army. As a result, the Israeli army defeated them very severely at Gibeon [and killed many of them]. The rest of them fled along the road that goes up to Beth-Horon. But the Israeli army pursued them and killed them all along the road that goes to Azekah and Makkedah towns.
11 A kad bježahu ispred Izrailja i bijahu niz vrlet Vetoronsku, baci Gospod na njih kamenje veliko iz neba dori do Azike, te ginjahu: i više ih izgibe od kamenja gradnoga nego što ih pobiše sinovi Izrailjevi maèem.
As they fled in front of the Israeli army, Yahweh threw down huge hailstones from the sky. As a result, more of them died from hailstones falling on them than died as a result of the Israeli army killing them with swords.
12 Tada progovori Isus Gospodu onaj dan kad Gospod predade Amorejca sinovima Izrailjevijem, i reèe pred sinovima Izrailjevijem: stani sunce nad Gavaonom, i mjeseèe nad dolinom Elonskom.
On the day that Yahweh enabled the Israeli army to defeat the groups who were descendants of Amor, Joshua said to Yahweh while the Israeli people were listening, “Yahweh, cause the sun to stand still over Gibeon, and cause the moon to not move when it is over Aijalon Valley.”
13 I stade sunce i ustavi se mjesec, dokle se ne osveti narod neprijateljima svojim. Ne piše li to u knjizi istinitoga? I stade sunce nasred neba i ne naže k zapadu skoro za cio dan.
And that is what happened. The sun stood still, and the moon did not move, until the Israeli army defeated their enemies. That is what has been written in the book that Jashar wrote. The sun stopped while it was in the middle of the sky, and did not (set/go down) for about a whole day.
14 I ne bi takoga dana ni prije ni poslije, da Gospod posluša glas èovjeèji, jer Gospod vojeva za Izrailja.
On that day Yahweh did a great miracle that someone asked him to do. There was never a day like that previously, and there has never been a day like that since. Yahweh was certainly fighting for the Israeli people!
15 I vrati se Isus i sav Izrailj s njim u oko u Galgal.
After Joshua’s army defeated their enemies, they all returned to their camp at Gilgal.
16 A onijeh pet careva utekoše i sakriše se u peæinu kod Makide.
While the enemy soldiers were fleeing from Joshua’s army, their five kings also fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah [town].
17 I doðe glas Isusu: naðe se pet careva sakrivenijeh u peæini kod Makide.
Then someone told Joshua, “We found those five kings, hiding in a cave at Makkedah!”
18 A Isus reèe: privalite veliko kamenje na vrata peæini, i namjestite ljude kod nje da ih èuvaju.
When Joshua heard that, he said, “Roll some very large rocks to the entrance of the cave so that the kings cannot escape, and leave some soldiers there to guard it.
19 A vi ne stojte, nego gonite neprijatelje svoje i bijte ostatak njihov, ne dajte im da uðu u gradove svoje, jer vam ih dade u ruke Gospod Bog vaš.
But do not stay there! Pursue our enemies! Attack them from behind! Do not allow them to escape to their cities, because Yahweh, our God, will enable you to defeat/kill them. [IDM]”
20 A kad Isus i sinovi Izrailjevi prestaše biti ih u boju vrlo velikom, razbivši ih sasvijem, a koji ih ostaše živi, utekoše u tvrde gradove,
So Joshua’s army did what he told them to do. They killed almost all of the enemy soldiers, but a few of them were able to reach their cities and be safe inside the walls of the cities.
21 Vrati se sav narod zdravo u oko k Isusu u Makidu, i niko ne maèe jezikom svojim na sinove Izrailjeve, ni na jednoga.
Then Joshua’s army returned to Joshua, who was still in their camp at Makkedah. No one in the land dared to criticize [MTY] the Israelis.
22 Tada reèe Isus: otvorite vrata od one peæine, i izvedite k meni onijeh pet careva iz peæine.
Then Joshua said, “Open the entrance of the cave, and bring out to me those five kings!”
23 I uèiniše tako, i izvedoše k njemu onijeh pet careva iz peæine: cara Jerusalimskoga, cara Hevronskoga, cara Jarmutskoga, cara Lahiskoga, cara Jeglonskoga.
So the soldiers brought those five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
24 A kad izvedoše te careve k Isusu, sazva Isus sve ljude Izrailjce, i reèe vojvodama od vojske koje bijahu išle s njim: pristupite i stanite nogama svojim na vratove ovijem carevima. I oni pristupiše i stadoše im na vratove nogama svojim.
When they brought those kings to Joshua [and forced them to lie on the ground], he summoned all the Israeli soldiers, and then he said to the army commanders, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings!” So the commanders did that.
25 A Isus im reèe: ne bojte se i ne plašite se; budite slobodni i hrabri, jer æe tako uèiniti Gospod svijem neprijateljima vašim na koje zavojštite.
Then Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid of any of our enemies! Never be discouraged! Be strong and courageous. This is what Yahweh will do to all the enemies you will fight!”
26 Potom ih pobi Isus i pogubi ih, i objesi ih na pet drveta, i ostaše viseæi na drvetima do veèera.
Then Joshua killed each of the five kings with his sword, and told his soldiers to hang the bodies of the five kings on trees. So they did that, and they left the bodies hanging on the trees until sunset.
27 A o zahodu sunèanom zapovjedi Isus te ih skidoše s drveta i baciše ih u peæinu, u koju se bijahu sakrili, i metnuše veliko kamenje na vrata peæini, koje osta ondje do danas.
At sunset, Joshua told them to take the bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. So the soldiers did that, and then they put those large rocks at the entrance of the cave again. Those rocks are still there.
28 Istoga dana uze Isus i Makidu, i sve u njoj isijeèe oštrijem maèem, i cara njezina i njih pobi, sve duše koje bjehu u njoj, ne ostavi nijednoga živa; i uèini s carem Makidskim kao što uèini s carem Jerihonskim.
That is how Joshua’s army attacked and captured Makkedah. They killed the king and everyone else in the town. They did not leave anyone alive. They did to the king of Makkedah the same thing that they had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Potom otide Isus i sav Izrailj s njim iz Makide u Livnu, i stade biti Livnu.
That same day, Joshua and his Israeli army went [southwest] from Makkedah to Libnah [city] and attacked it.
30 Pa i nju predade Gospod u ruke Izrailju i cara njezina; i isijeèe sve oštrijem maèem, sve duše koje bijahu u njoj, ne ostavi u njoj nijednoga živa; i uèini s carem njezinijem kao što uèini s carem Jerihonskim.
Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] that city and its king. They killed everyone in the city; they did not (spare anyone/allow anyone to remain alive). They killed the king of Libnah just like they had killed the king of Jericho.
31 Potom otide Isus i sav Izrailj s njim iz Livne na Lahis, i stade u oko pred njim, i stade ga biti.
Then Joshua and his army went [south] from Libnah to Lachish [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
32 I Gospod predade Lahis u ruke Izrailju, i on ga uze sjutradan, i isijeèe sve oštrijem maèem, sve duše što bijahu u njemu, isto onako kako uèini s Livnom.
On the second day of the battle, Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] the city. And like they had done at Libnah, they killed everyone [DOU] in the city.
33 Tada doðe Oram car Gezerski u pomoæ Lahisu; ali pobi Isus njega i narod njegov da ne osta nijedan živ.
King Horam from Gezer [city and his army] came to help [the soldiers of] Lachish, but Joshua’s [army] defeated Horam and his army, and did not allow any of them to remain alive.
34 Potom poðe Isus i sav Izrailj s njim iz Lahisa na Jeglon, i stavši u oko prema njemu udariše na nj;
Then Joshua and his army went [west] from Lachish to Eglon [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
35 I uzeše ga isti dan, i isjekoše sve oštrijem maèem; sve duše što bijahu u njemu pobi taj dan isto onako kako uèini s Lahisom.
On that day, they captured the city and killed [MTY] everyone in it [DOU], just like they had done at Lachish.
36 Potom se podiže Isus i sav Izrailj s njim iz Jeglona na Hevron, i stadoše ga biti;
Then Joshua and his army went [west from Eglon] up [into the hills] to Hebron [city]. They attacked the city
37 I uzeše ga i isjekoše oštrijem maèem, i cara njegova i sve gradove njegove, sve duše što bijahu u njima; ne ostavi nijednoga živa isto onako kako uèini s Jeglonom; zatr ga sa svijem dušama što bijahu u njemu.
and captured it. They killed the king and everyone else, just like they had done at Eglon. They did not allow anyone to remain alive.
38 Potom se obrati Isus i sav Izrailj s njim na Davir, i stade ga biti;
Then Joshua and his army turned [south] and went to Debir [city] and attacked it.
39 I uze ga i cara njegova i sve gradove njegove, i isjekoše ih oštrijem maèem i zgubiše sve duše što bijahu u njima; ne ostavi nijednoga živa; kao što uèini s Hevronom, tako uèini s Davirom i carom njegovijem, i kao što uèini s Livnom i carem njezinijem.
They captured the city and its king, and also captured the nearby towns. Then they killed everyone [DOU]; they did to the people there the same thing that they had done at Hebron and Libnah.
40 Tako pobi Isus svu zemlju, gore i južnu stranu i ravnice i doline, i sve careve njihove; ne ostavi nijednoga živa, nego sve duše žive zgubi, kao što bješe zapovjedio Gospod Bog Izrailjev.
That is how Joshua [and his army] conquered the entire southern part of Canaan. They defeated the kings [who ruled] the hilly area, the dry southern area, the [western] foothills, and the [eastern] slopes. They killed everyone [DOU] in those areas; they did not allow anyone to remain alive.
41 I pobi ih Isus od Kadis-Varnije do Gaze, i svu zemlju Gosensku do Gavaona.
Joshua’s soldiers captured all the cities from Kadesh-Barnea [city] in the far south to Gaza [city] near the coast, including all the Goshen area, and north to Gibeon [city].
42 A sve te careve i zemlju njihovu uze Isus ujedanput; jer Gospod Bog Izrailjev vojevaše za Izrailja.
At that one time, Joshua’s army conquered all the kings and captured all the territory that they [ruled]. They were able to do that because Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [worship], was fighting for them.
43 Potom se vrati Isus i sav Izrailj s njim u oko u Galgal.
Then Joshua and his army returned to their camp at Gilgal.
