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 it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;

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

That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.

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

And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,

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,

They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;

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 old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.

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 went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us.

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

And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?

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

And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?

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 unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of YHWH thy Elohim: for we have heard the fame of him, 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 two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.

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.

Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league 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.

This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is 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 bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.

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

And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of YHWH.

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 made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto 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 at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among 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 journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim.

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

And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by YHWH Elohim of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.

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

But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by YHWH Elohim of Israel: now therefore we may not 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 to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.

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

And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised 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 for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?

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

Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my Elohim.

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, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that YHWH thy Elohim commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done 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 thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.

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

And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.

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 that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of YHWH, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.
