Isus Navin 3
1 I usta Isus ujutru rano, i kretoše se od Sitima i doðoše do Jordana on i svi sinovi Izrailjevi, i noæiše ondje a ne prijeðoše.
Joshua got up early in the morning, and they set out from Shittim. They came to the Jordan, he and all the people of Israel, and they camped there before they crossed over.
2 A poslije tri dana proðoše upravitelji kroz oko,
After three days, the officers went through the middle of the camp;
3 I zapovjediše narodu govoreæi: kad vidite kovèeg zavjeta Gospoda Boga svojega i sveštenike Levite gdje ga nose, poðite i vi s mjesta svojega i idite za njim.
they commanded the people, “When you see the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and the priests from the Levites carrying it, you must leave this place and follow it.
4 Ali neka bude daljina izmeðu vas i njega do dvije tisuæe lakata; bliže do njega ne primièite se, da biste poznali put kojim æete iæi, jer još nikada nijeste išli tijem putem.
There must be a distance between you and it of about two thousand cubits. Do not come close to it, so that you can see which way to go, since you have not gone this way before.”
5 I Isus reèe narodu: osveštajte se, jer æe sjutra uèiniti Gospod èudesa meðu vama.
Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves tomorrow, for Yahweh will do wonders among you.”
6 Potom reèe Isus sveštenicima govoreæi: uzmite kovèeg zavjetni, i idite pred narodom. I uzeše kovèeg zavjetni i poðoše pred narodom.
Then Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass in front of the people.” So they picked up the ark of the covenant and went in front of people.
7 A Gospod reèe Isusu: danas te poèinjem uzvišavati pred svijem Izrailjem da poznadu da æu i s tobom biti kao što sam bio s Mojsijem.
Yahweh said to Joshua, “This day I will make you a great man in the eyes of all Israel. They will know that as I was with Moses, I will be with you.
8 Zato ti zapovjedi sveštenicima koji nose kovèeg zavjetni, i reci: kad doðete na kraj vode Jordana, stanite u Jordanu.
You will command the priests who carry the ark of the covenant, 'When you have come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, you must stand still in the Jordan River.'”
9 I reèe Isus sinovima Izrailjevim: pristupite ovamo, i èujte rijeèi Gospoda Boga svojega.
Then Joshua said to the people of Israel, “Come here, and listen to the words of Yahweh your God.
10 Potom reèe Isus: po ovom æete poznati da je Bog živi posred vas, i da æe doista odagnati ispred vas Hananeje i Heteje i Jeveje i Ferezeje i Gergeseje i Amoreje i Jevuseje:
By this you will know that the living God is among you and will drive out from before you the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
11 Evo, kovèeg zavjeta Gospoda svoj zemlji poæi æe pred vama preko Jordana.
Look! The ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth crosses over ahead of you into the Jordan.
12 Zato sada izberite dvanaest ljudi iz plemena Izrailjeva, po jednoga èovjeka iz svakoga plemena.
Now choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man from each.
13 I èim sveštenici noseæi kovèeg zavjeta Gospoda Gospoda svoj zemlji stanu nogama svojim u vodi Jordanskoj, voda æe se u Jordanu rastupiti, te æe voda koja teèe ozgo stati u gomilu.
When the soles of the feet of the priests that carry the ark of Yahweh, the Lord of all the earth, touch the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan will be cut off, and even the waters that flow down from upstream will stop flowing and they will stand in one heap.”
14 I kad se podiže narod iz šatora svojih da prijeðe preko Jordana, i sveštenici ponesoše kovèeg zavjetni pred narodom,
So when the people set out to cross over the Jordan, the priests that carried the ark of the covenant went ahead of the people.
15 I kad oni što nošahu kovèeg doðoše do Jordana, i sveštenici noseæi kovèeg okvasiše noge svoje na kraju vode jer je Jordan pun preko bregova svojih za cijelo vrijeme žetve
As soon as those who were carrying the ark had come to the Jordan, and the feet of those who carried the chest were dipped in the edge of the water (now the Jordan overflows all its banks throughout the time of the harvest),
16 Ustavi se voda što tecijaše ozgo, i stade u jednu gomilu vrlo nadaleko, od grada Adama, koji je kraj Zaretana; a što tecijaše dolje u more kraj polja, more slano, oteèe sasvijem; i narod prelažaše prema Jerihonu.
the waters that flowed down from upstream stood up in one heap. The water stopped flowing from a great distance. The waters stopped flowing from Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan, all the way down to the sea of the Negev, the Salt Sea. The people crossed over near Jericho.
17 A sveštenici koji nošahu kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega stajahu na suhu usred Jordana tvrdo, i sav Izrailj iðaše po suhu, dokle sav narod ne prijeðe preko Jordana.
The priests that carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh stood on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan until all the people of Israel crossed over on dry ground.
