< Isus Navin 2 >

1 A Isus sin Navin posla iz Sitima potajno dvije uhode rekavši im: idite, vidite zemlju i Jerihon. I oni otidoše, i doðoše u kuæu jednoj kurvi, kojoj ime bješe Rava, i poèinuše ondje.
And so Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men from Shittim to explore in secret. And he said to them, “Go and consider the land and the city of Jericho.” And while traveling, they entered into the house of a harlot woman named Rahab, and they rested with her.
2 Ali bi javljeno caru Jerihonskom i kazano: evo, ljudi doðoše ovamo noæas izmeðu sinova Izrailjevih da uhode zemlju.
And it was reported to the king of Jericho, and it was said: “Behold, men have entered to this place in the night, from the sons of Israel, so that they might explore the land.”
3 I posla car Jerihonski k Ravi i poruèi: izvedi ljude koji su došli k tebi i ušli u tvoju kuæu, jer su došli da uhode svu zemlju.
And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying: “Bring out the men who came to you, and who entered into your house. For certainly they are spies, and they have arrived to consider the entire land.”
4 Ali žena uzevši ona dva èovjeka sakri ih; pa reèe: jest istina da su ljudi došli k meni, ali ja ne znah odakle bijahu;
And the woman, taking the men, hid them. And she said: “I admit that they came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
5 I kad se vrata zatvorahu u sumrak, ljudi izidoše; ne znam kuda otidoše; idite brzo za njima; stignuæete ih.
And when the gate was closed, they went out together in the darkness. I do not know where they have gone. Pursue them quickly, and you will overtake them.”
6 A ona ih bješe izvela na krov, i sakrila ih pod lan netrven, koji bijaše razastrla po krovu.
But she caused the men to ascend to the roof of her house, and she covered them with the stalks of flax that were there.
7 I ljudi poðoše za njima u potjeru put Jordana do broda; i vrata se zatvoriše kad izide potjera za njima.
But those who had been sent pursued after them along the way that leads to the ford of the Jordan. And as soon as they went out, the gate was closed.
8 Oni pak još ne bjehu pospali, a ona doðe k njima na krov,
Those who were hiding had not yet fallen asleep, and behold, the woman went up to them, and she said:
9 I reèe im: znam da vam je Gospod dao ovu zemlju, jer nas popade strah od vas, i prepali su se od vas svi koji žive u ovoj zemlji.
“I know that the Lord has given this land to you. For the terror of you has fallen upon us, and all the inhabitants of the land have languished.
10 Jer èusmo kako je Gospod osušio pred vama Crveno More kad izidoste iz Misira, i šta ste uèinili od dva cara Amorejska koji bijahu preko Jordana, od Siona i Oga, koje pobiste.
We have heard that the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea upon your arrival, when you were departing from Egypt, and we heard of the things that you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you put to death.
11 I kad to èusmo, rastopi se srce naše, i ni u kome veæ nema junaštva od straha vašega; jer je Gospod, Bog vaš, Bog gore na nebu i dolje na zemlji.
And upon hearing these things, we were very afraid, and our heart languished. Neither did there remain in us any spirit at your arrival. For the Lord your God is the very God in heaven above and on earth below.
12 Nego sada zakunite mi se Gospodom da æete uèiniti milost domu oca mojega kao što ja vama uèinih milost, i dajte mi znak istinit,
Now, therefore, swear to me by the Lord that in the same way that I have acted with mercy toward you, so also shall you act toward the house of my father. And may you give me a true sign
13 Da æete saèuvati život mojemu ocu i mojoj materi i mojoj braæi i mojim sestrama i svjema njihovijem, i da æete izbaviti duše naše od smrti.
that you will save my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all that is theirs, and that you may rescue our souls from death.”
14 A ljudi joj odgovoriše: mi æemo izginuti za vas, ako ne izdate ove naše stvari; i kad nam Gospod da ovu zemlju, uèiniæemo ti milost i vjeru.
They responded to her: “May our lives be yours unto death, if only you do not betray us. And when the Lord will have delivered the land to us, we will act toward you with mercy and truth.”
15 Tada ih ona spusti kroz prozor po konopcu; jer kuæa njezina bješe na zidu gradskom, i ona na zidu nastavaše.
Therefore, she sent them down from a window with a rope. For her house was joined to the wall.
16 I reèe im: idite u goru da ne naiðe na vas potjera, i ondje se krijte tri dana dokle se ne vrati potjera, pa onda idite svojim putem.
And she said to them: “Climb up to the mountains; otherwise, they may meet you as they are returning. And lay hidden there for three days, until they return. And then you will go on your way.”
17 A ljudi joj rekoše: biæemo prosti od ove tvoje zakletve kojom si nas zaklela;
And they said to her: “We shall be innocent of this oath, to which you have sworn us,
18 Evo, kad doðemo u zemlju, veži ovu vrvcu od skerleta na prozor, kroz koji si nas spustila, i skupi kod sebe u tu kuæu oca svojega i mater i braæu i sav dom oca svojega.
if, when we enter into the land, this scarlet cord has been placed as a sign, and you have tied it at the window by which you let us down. And so, gather your father, and mother, and brothers, and all your family into your house.
19 I ko bi god izašao iz tvoje kuæe, krv njegova neka bude na njegovu glavu, a mi da nijesmo krivi; a ko god bude s tobom u kuæi, krv njegova neka doðe na naše glave, ako ga se ko rukom dotakne.
Whoever will have exited from the door of your house, his blood will be on his own head, and we will be uninvolved. But the blood of all who will be with you in the house shall fall back upon our own head, if anyone touches them.
20 Ali ako izdaš ovu stvar našu, tada æemo biti prosti od tvoje zakletve, kojom si nas zaklela.
But if you will have betrayed us, so that you spread this word in their midst, we will be free from this oath, to which you have sworn us.”
21 A ona odgovori: kako rekoste tako neka bude. Tada ih pusti, i otidoše; i ona veza vrvcu od skerleta na prozor.
And she responded, “Just as you have spoken, so let it be done.” And sending them to travel on, she hung the scarlet cord at the window.
22 A oni otišavši doðoše u goru, i ostaše ondje tri dana dokle se ne vrati potjera; jer ih potjera tražaše po svijem putovima, ali ih ne naðe.
And truly, walking on, they arrived at the mountains, and they stayed there for three days, until those who had been pursuing them returned. For having sought them along the entire way, they did not find them.
23 I vratiše se ona dva èovjeka, i sišavši s gore prebrodiše i doðoše k Isusu sinu Navinu, i pripovjediše mu sve što im se dogodilo.
And when they returned and entered the city, the explorers descended from the mountain. And crossing the Jordan, they went to Joshua, the son of Nun, and they reported to him all that had happened to them.
24 I rekoše Isusu: zaista dao nam je Gospod u ruke svu tu zemlju, i svi stanovnici one zemlje uplašili su se od nas.
And they said, “The Lord has delivered this entire land into our hands, and all its inhabitants have been struck down by fear.”
