Isus Navin 9

1 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,

And when the kings of the Amorites on the other side of Jordan, who were in the mountain country, and in the plain, and in all the coast of the great sea, and those who were near Antilibanus, and the Chettites, and the Chananites, and the Pherezites, and the Evites, and the Amorites, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites, heard [of it],

2 Skupiše se svi da se složno biju s Isusom i s Izrailjem.

they came all together at the same time to make war against Joshua and Israel.

3 A koji življahu u Gavaonu èuvši šta uèini Isus od Jerihona i od Gaja,

And the inhabitants of Gabaon heard of all that the Lord did to Jericho and Gai.

4 Uèiniše i oni prijevaru; jer otidoše i naèiniše se poslanici, i uzeše stare torbe na svoje magarce i stare mjehove vinske, poderane i iskrpljene,

And they also wrought craftily, and they went and made provision and prepared themselves; and having taken old sacks on their shoulders, and old and tore and patched bottles of wine,

5 I obuæu staru i iskrpljenu na noge svoje, i haljine stare na se; i sav hljeb što ponesoše na put bješe suh i pljesniv.

and the upper part of their shoes and their sandals old and clouted on their feet, and their garments old upon them—and the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy and corrupt.

6 I otidoše k Isusu u oko u Galgalu, i rekoše njemu i ljudima Izrailjcima: doðosmo iz daljne zemlje; hajde uhvatite vjeru s nama.

And they came to Joshua into the camp of Israel to Galgala, and said to Joshua and Israel, We are come from a far land: now then make a covenant with us.

7 A ljudi Izrailjci rekoše Jevejima: može biti da sjedite usred nas, pa kako æemo uhvatiti vjeru s vama?

And the children of Israel said to the Chorrhaean, Peradventure you dwell amongst us; and how should I make a covenant with you?

8 Ali oni rekoše Isusu: mi smo sluge tvoje. A Isus im reèe: ko ste i otkuda idete?

And they said to Joshua, We are your servants: and Joshua said to them, Whence are you, and whence have you come?

9 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,

And they said, Your servants are come from a very far country in the name of the Lord your God: for we have heard his name, and all that he did in Egypt,

10 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.

and all that he did to the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, to Seon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Basan, who lived in Astaroth and in Edrain.

11 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.

And our elders and all that inhabit our land when they heard spoke to us, saying, Take to yourselves provision for the way, and go to meet them; and you shall say to them, We are your servants, and now make a covenant with us.

12 Ovo je hljeb naš: vruæ smo ponijeli na put od kuæa svojih kad smo pošli pred vas, a sad eto osušio se i upljesnivio.

These [are] the loaves—we took them hot for our journey on the day on which we came out to come to you; and now they are dried and become mouldy.

13 A ovo su mjehovi vinski: nalismo nove, i eto su se veæ poderali; i haljine naše i obuæa naša ovetša od daljnoga puta.

And these [are] the skins of wine which we filled when new, and they are tore; and our garments and our shoes are worn out because of the very long journey.

14 I povjerovaše ljudi po brašnjenici, a ne upitaše Gospoda šta æe reæi.

And the chiefs took of their provision, and asked not [counsel of] the Lord.

15 I Isus uèini s njima mir, i zadade im vjeru da æe ih ostaviti u životu; i zakleše im se knezovi od zbora.

And Joshua made peace with them, and they made a covenant with them to preserve them; and the princes of the congregation sware to them.

16 Ali poslije tri dana kad uhvatiše vjeru s njima, èuše da su im susjedi i da žive usred njih.

And it came to pass three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were near neighbours, and that they lived amongst them.

17 Jer poðoše sinovi Izrailjevi i doðoše u gradove njihove treæi dan; a gradovi im bijahu: Gavaon i Kefira i Virot i Kirijat-Jarim.

And the children of Israel departed and came to their cities; and their cities [were] Gabaon, and Kephira, and Berot, and the cities of Jarin.

18 I ne pobiše ih sinovi Izrailjevi, jer im se knezovi od zbora zakleše Gospodom Bogom Izrailjevijem. Ali sav zbor vikaše na knezove.

Land the children of Israel fought not with them, because all the princes sware to them by the Lord God of Israel; and all the congregation murmured at the princes.

19 Tada svi knezovi rekoše svemu zboru: mi smo im se zakleli Gospodom Bogom Izrailjevijem; zato sada ne možemo dirati u njih.

And the princes said to all the congregation: We have sworn to them by the Lord God of Israel, and now we shall not be able to touch them.

20 Uèinimo im to, i ostavimo ih u životu, da ne doðe gnjev na nas radi zakletve kojom im se zaklesmo.

This we will do; take them alive, and we will preserve them: so there shall not be wrath against us by reason of the oath which we swore to them.

21 Još im rekoše knezovi: neka ostanu u životu, pa neka sijeku drva i nose vodu svemu zboru, kako im knezovi kazaše.

They shall live, and shall be hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the princes said to them.

22 Potom ih dozva Isus i reèe im govoreæi: zašto nas prevariste i rekoste: vrlo smo daleko od vas, kad eto živite usred nas?

And Joshua called them together and said to them, Why have you deceived me, saying, We live very far from you; whereas you are fellow-countrymen of those who dwell amongst us?

23 Zato sada da ste prokleti i da ste dovijeka robovi i da sijeèete drva i nosite vodu za dom Gospoda Boga mojega.

And now you are cursed: there shall not fail of you a slave, or a hewer of wood, or a drawer of water to me and my God.

24 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.

And they answered Joshua, saying, It was reported to us what the Lord your God charged his servant Moses, to give you this land, and to destroy us and all that lived on it from before you; and we feared very much for our lives because of you, and [therefore] we did this thing.

25 A sada eto smo ti u ruku; èini što misliš da je dobro i pravo da s nama uèiniš.

And now, behold, we [are] in your power; do to us as it is pleasing to you, and as it seems [good] to you.

26 I uèini im tako i saèuva ih od ruku sinova Izrailjevijeh, te ih ne pobiše.

And they did so to them; and Joshua rescued them in that day out of the hands of the children of Israel, and they did not kill them.

27 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.

And Joshua made them in that day hewers of wood and drawers of water to the whole congregation, and for the altar of God: therefore the inhabitants of Gabaon became hewers of wood and drawers of water for the altar of God until this day, even for the place which the Lord should choose.
