Jozue 1

1 Torej po smrti Mojzesa, Gospodovega služabnika, se je pripetilo, da je Gospod spregovoril Nunovemu sinu Józuetu, Mojzesovemu služabniku, rekoč:

Now it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,

2 »Moj služabnik Mojzes je mrtev. Sedaj torej vstani, pojdi čez ta Jordan, ti in vse to ljudstvo, v deželo, ki jo dajem njim, torej Izraelovim otrokom.

Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

3 Vsak kraj, na katerega bo stopil podplat tvojega stopala, to sem ti dal, kakor sem rekel Mojzesu.

Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, to you have I given it, as I spake unto Moses.

4 Od divjine in tega Libanona, celo do velike reke, reke Evfrat, vso deželo Hetejcev in do velikega morja proti zahajanju sonca, bo vaša pokrajina.

From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.

5 Tam noben mož ne bo zmožen obstati pred teboj vse dni tvojega življenja. Kakor sem bil z Mojzesom, tako bom s teboj. Ne bom te razočaral niti te ne bom zapustil.

There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee nor forsake thee.

6 Bodi močan in odločnega poguma, kajti temu ljudstvu boš v dediščino razdelil deželo, za katero sem prisegel njihovim očetom, da jim jo dam.

Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

7 Samo močan bodi in zelo pogumen, da boš lahko obeležil, da storiš glede na vso postavo, ki ti jo je moj služabnik Mojzes zapovedal. Ne obrni se od nje ne k desni roki ne k levi, da boš lahko uspeval kamorkoli greš.

Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest.

8 Ta knjiga postave ne bo odšla od tvojih ust, temveč boš o njej premišljeval podnevi in ponoči, da boš lahko obeležil, da storiš glede na vse to, kar je zapisano v njej, kajti takrat boš naredil svojo pot uspešno in takrat boš imel dober uspeh.

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

9 Mar ti nisem jaz zapovedal? Bodi močan in odločnega poguma. Ne bodi prestrašen niti ne bodi zaprepaden, kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je s teboj, kamorkoli greš.«

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not affrighted, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

10 Potem je Józue zapovedal častnikom ljudstva, rekoč:

Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

11 »Preidite skozi vojsko in zapovejte ljudstvu, rekoč: ›Pripravite svoj živež, kajti v treh dneh boste šli preko tega Jordana, da vstopite, da vzamete v last deželo, ki vam jo daje Gospod, vaš Bog, da jo vzamete v last.‹«

Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.

12 Rubenovcem in Gádovcem in polovici Manásejevega rodu pa je Józue spregovoril, rekoč:

And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,

13 »Spomnite se besede, ki vam jo je zapovedal Gospodov služabnik Mojzes, rekoč: › Gospod, vaš Bog, vam je dal počitek in vam je dal to deželo.‹

Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God giveth you rest, and will give you this land.

14 Vaše žene, vaši malčki in vaša živina bodo ostali v deželi, ki vam jo je dal Mojzes na tej strani Jordana, toda vi boste pred vašimi brati prečkali oboroženi, vsi močni junaški možje in jim pomagali,

Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall abide in the land which Moses gave you beyond Jordan; but ye shall pass over before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and shall help them;

15 dokler Gospod ne da vašim bratom počitek, kakor ga je dal vam in tudi oni ne vzamejo v last dežele, ki jim jo daje Gospod, vaš Bog. Potem se boste vrnili v deželo svoje posesti in jo uživali, ki vam jo je dal Gospodov služabnik Mojzes na tej strani Jordana, proti sončnemu vzhodu.«

until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as [he hath given] you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond Jordan toward the sunrising.

16 Józuetu so odgovorili, rekoč: »Vse, kar nam zapoveduješ, bomo storili in kamor nas pošlješ, bomo šli.

And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us we will go.

17 Glede na to, kakor smo Mojzesu prisluhnili v vseh stvareh, tako bomo prisluhnili tebi. Samo Gospod, tvoj Bog, naj bo s teboj, kakor je bil z Mojzesom.

According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.

18 Kdorkoli je ta, ki se upre zoper tvojo zapoved in ne bo prisluhnil tvojim besedam v vsem, kar mu zapoveš, bo usmrčen. Samo močan bodi in odločnega poguma.«

Whosoever he be that shall rebel against thy commandment, and shall not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
