< 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 Joshua the son of Nun sent from Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot’s house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
2 Ali bi javljeno caru Jerihonskom i kazano: evo, ljudi doðoše ovamo noæas izmeðu sinova Izrailjevih da uhode zemlju.
And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in here to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.
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 forth the men that have come to thee, who have entered into thy house: for they have come to search out all the country.
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 took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men to me, but I knew not where they were:
5 I kad se vrata zatvorahu u sumrak, ljudi izidoše; ne znam kuda otidoše; idite brzo za njima; stignuæete ih.
And it came to pass about the time of shutting the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: where the men went I know not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
6 A ona ih bješe izvela na krov, i sakrila ih pod lan netrven, koji bijaše razastrla po krovu.
But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
7 I ljudi poðoše za njima u potjeru put Jordana do broda; i vrata se zatvoriše kad izide potjera za njima.
And the men pursued them the way to Jordan to the fords: and as soon as they who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.
8 Oni pak još ne bjehu pospali, a ona doðe k njima na krov,
And before they had lain down, she came up to them upon the roof;
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.
And she said to the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
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.
For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side of Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
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 as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.
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, I pray you, swear to me by the LORD, since I have showed you kindness, that ye will also show kindness to my father’s house, and give me a true token:
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.
And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives 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.
And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
15 Tada ih ona spusti kroz prozor po konopcu; jer kuæa njezina bješe na zidu gradskom, i ona na zidu nastavaše.
Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon 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, Depart to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned: and afterward ye may go your way.
17 A ljudi joj rekoše: biæemo prosti od ove tvoje zakletve kojom si nas zaklela;
And the men said to her, We will be blameless of this thy oath which thou hast made us swear.
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.
Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window by which thou didst let us down: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household, home to thee.
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.
And it shall be, that whoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
20 Ali ako izdaš ovu stvar našu, tada æemo biti prosti od tvoje zakletve, kojom si nas zaklela.
And if thou shalt utter this our business, then we will be free of thy oath which thou hast made us to swear.
21 A ona odgovori: kako rekoste tako neka bude. Tada ih pusti, i otidoše; i ona veza vrvcu od skerleta na prozor.
And she said, According to your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in 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 they went, and came to the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers had returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.
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.
So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell 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 to Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.
