Jozue 22

1 Potem je Józue poklical Rubenovce, Gádovce in polovico Manásejevega rodu

At that time Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

2 ter jim rekel: »Držali ste se vsega, kar vam je Gospodov služabnik Mojzes zapovedal in moj glas ste ubogali v vsem, kar sem vam zapovedal.

He said to them, “You have done everything that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you. You have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.

3 Te mnoge dni do tega dne niste zapustili svojih bratov, temveč ste skrbeli za zapoved Gospoda, svojega Boga.

You have not deserted your brothers these many days, down to this present day, and you have fulfilled the duties required by the commandments of Yahweh your God.

4 Sedaj je Gospod, vaš Bog, dal počitek vašim bratom, kakor jim je obljubil, zato se sedaj vrnite in se odpravite v svoje šotore in v deželo svoje posesti, ki vam jo je dal Gospodov služabnik Mojzes na drugi strani Jordana.

Now Yahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, just as he promised them. Therefore turn and go to your tents in the land you own, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

5 Toda marljivo pazite, da izpolnite zapoved in postavo, ki vam jo je zapovedal Gospodov služabnik Mojzes, da ljubite Gospoda, svojega Boga in da hodite po vseh njegovih poteh in se držite njegovih zapovedi in da se mu trdno pridružite in mu služite z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo.«

Just be very careful to observe the commandments and the law that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, and to cling to him and worship him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

6 Tako jih je Józue blagoslovil in jih poslal proč; in odšli so k svojim šotorom.

So Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went back to their tents.

7 Torej eni polovici Manásejevega rodu je Mojzes dal posest v Bašánu, toda drugi njegovi polovici je Józue dal [posest] med njihovimi brati na tej strani Jordana proti zahodu. Ko je Józue tudi njih poslal proč, v njihove šotore, tedaj jih je blagoslovil

Now to one-half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given an inheritance in Bashan, but to the other half Joshua gave an inheritance beside their brothers in the land west of the Jordan. Joshua sent them away to their tents; he blessed them

8 in jim govoril, rekoč: »V svoje šotore se vrnite z mnogimi bogastvi in z zelo veliko živine, s srebrom in z zlatom, z bronom in z železom in z zelo mnogimi oblačili. Plen svojih sovražnikov razdelite s svojimi brati.«

and said to them, “Return to your tents with much money, and with very much livestock, and with silver and gold, and with bronze and iron, and with very many garments. Divide the plunder from your enemies with your brothers.”

9 Rubenovi otroci in Gadovi otroci in polovica Manásejevega rodu se je vrnila in odpotovala od Izraelovih otrok iz Šila, ki je v kánaanski deželi, da gredo v deželo Gileád, k zemlji njihove posesti, ki so jo vzeli v last, glede na Gospodovo besedo, po Mojzesovi roki.

So the descendants of Reuben, the descendants of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh returned home, leaving the people of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan. They left to go to the region of Gilead, to their own land, which they themselves possessed, in obedience to the commandment of Yahweh, by the hand of Moses.

10 Ko so prišli k mejam Jordana, ki so v kánaanski deželi, so Rubenovi otroci in Gadovi otroci in polovica Manásejevega rodu tam zgradili oltar pri Jordanu, na pogled velik oltar.

When they came to the Jordan that is in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh built an altar beside the Jordan, a very large and prominent altar.

11 Izraelovi otroci so slišali reči: »Glejte, Rubenovi otroci, Gadovi otroci in polovica Manásejevega rodu so zgradili oltar nasproti kánaanski deželi, na mejah Jordana, ob prehodu Izraelovih otrok.«

The people of Israel heard about this and said, “Look! The people of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar at the front of the land of Canaan, at Geliloth, in the region near the Jordan, on the side that belongs to the people of Israel.”

12 Ko so Izraelovi otroci slišali o tem, se je celotna skupnost Izraelovih otrok skupaj zbrala pri Šilu, da gredo gor, da se vojskujejo proti njim.

When the people of Israel heard of it, the whole assembly of the people of Israel gathered together at Shiloh to go up to make war against them.

13 Izraelovi otroci so k Rubenovim otrokom, h Gadovim otrokom in k polovici Manásejevega rodu v deželo Gileád poslali Pinhása, sina duhovnika Eleazarja

Then the people of Israel sent messengers to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead. They also sent Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest,

14 in z njim deset princev, iz vsake vodilne hiše princa, po vseh Izraelovih rodovih in vsak je bil poglavar svoje očetovske hiše med tisočerimi Izraelovimi.

and with him ten leaders, one from each of the tribal families of Israel, and every one of them was the head of a family among the clan of Israel.

15 Prišli so k Rubenovim otrokom, h Gadovim otrokom in k polovici Manásejevega rodu, v deželo Gileád in z njimi govorili, rekoč:

They came to the people of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, and they spoke to them:

16 »Tako govori celotna Gospodova skupnost: ›Kakšen prekršek je to, kar ste zagrešili zoper Izraelovega Boga, da se ta dan odvračate od sledenja Gospodu, v tem, da ste si zgradili oltar, da bi se ta dan lahko uprli zoper Gospoda?

“The whole assembly of Yahweh says this, 'What is this unfaithfulness that you have committed against the God of Israel, by turning this day from following Yahweh by building yourself an altar this day in rebellion against Yahweh?

17 Mar je krivičnost Peórja premajhna za nas, od katere do tega dne nismo očiščeni, čeprav je bila nadloga v Gospodovi skupnosti,

Was our sin at Peor not enough for us? Yet we have not even now cleansed ourselves from it. For that sin there came a plague on the assembly of Yahweh.

18 temveč da ste se ta dan morali odvrniti od sledenja Gospodu? Zgodilo se bo, glede na to, da ste se ta dan uprli zoper Gospoda, da bo jutri ogorčen nad celotno Izraelovo skupnostjo.

Must you also turn away from following Yahweh at this present day? If you also rebel against Yahweh today, tomorrow he will be angry with the whole assembly of Israel.

19 Vendar če je dežela vaše posesti nečista, potem prečkajte v deželo Gospodove posesti, v kateri prebiva Gospodovo šotorsko svetišče in vzemite posest med nami, toda ne uprite se zoper Gospoda niti se ne uprite zoper nas v tem, da si gradite oltar poleg oltarja Gospoda, našega Boga.

If the land that you possess is defiled, then you should pass over into the land where Yahweh's tabernacle stands and take for yourselves a possession among us. Only do not rebel against Yahweh, nor rebel against us by building an altar for yourselves other than the altar of Yahweh our God.

20 Mar ni Zerahov sin Ahán zagrešil prekršek v prekleti stvari in je bes padel na vso Izraelovo skupnost? In ta mož v svoji krivičnosti ni umrl sam.‹«

Did not Achan son of Zerah break faith in the matter of those things that had been reserved for God? Did not wrath fall on all the people of Israel? That man did not perish alone for his iniquity.'”

21 Potem so Rubenovi otroci, Gadovi otroci in polovica Manásejevega rodu odgovorili in rekli poglavarjem tisočerih Izraelovih:

Then the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh replied in answer to the heads of the clans of Israel:

22 » Gospod, Bog bogov, Gospod, Bog bogov, on ve in Izrael bo vedel. Če je to v uporu ali če je v prestopku zoper Gospoda (ta dan nas ne reši),

“The Mighty One, God, Yahweh! The Mighty One, God, Yahweh!—He knows, and let Israel itself know! If it was in rebellion or in breach of faith against Yahweh, do not spare us on this day

23 da smo si zgradili oltar, da se obrnemo od sledenja Gospodu, ali če na njem darujemo žgalno daritev ali jedilno daritev ali če na njem žrtvujejo mirovne daritve, naj sam Gospod to zahteva

for having built an altar to turn ourselves away from following Yahweh. If we built that altar in order to offer on it burnt offerings, grain offerings, or peace offerings, then let Yahweh make us pay for it.

24 in če nismo tega raje storili zaradi strahu pred to stvarjo, rekoč: ›V času, ki pride, bodo vaši otroci lahko govorili našim otrokom, rekoč: ›Kaj imate z Gospodom, Izraelovim Bogom?

No! We did it for fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, 'What have you to do with Yahweh, the God of Israel?

25 Kajti Gospod je naredil Jordan za mejo med nami in vami, vi Rubenovi otroci in Gadovi otroci, vi nimate deleža v Gospodu.‹‹ Tako bodo vaši otroci naredili našim otrokom, da se prenehajo bati Gospoda.

For Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you. You people of Reuben and people of Gad, you have nothing to do with Yahweh.' So your children might make our children cease to worship Yahweh.

26 Zato smo rekli: ›Pripravimo se, da si zgradimo oltar, ne za žgalno daritev niti za klavno daritev,

So we said, 'Let us now build an altar, not for burnt offerings nor for any sacrifices,

27 temveč, da bo ta lahko priča med nami in vami in našimi rodovi za nami, da bomo lahko pred njim opravljali Gospodovo službo s svojimi žgalnimi daritvami, svojimi klavnimi daritvami in s svojimi mirovnimi daritvami, ‹ da v času, ki pride, vaši otroci ne bodo mogli reči našim otrokom: ›Vi nimate deleža v Gospodu.‹

but to be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we will perform the service of Yahweh before him, with our burnt offerings and with our sacrifices and with our peace offerings, so that your children will never say to our children in time to come, “You have no share in Yahweh.”'

28 Zato smo rekli, da bo tako, ko bodo tako rekli nam ali našim rodovom, v času, ki pride, da bomo lahko ponovno rekli: ›Glejte vzorec Gospodovega oltarja, ki so ga naredili naši očetje, niti za žgalne daritve, niti za klavne daritve, temveč je ta priča med vami in nami.‹

So we said, 'If this should be said to us or to our descendants in time to come, we would say, “Look! This is a copy of the altar of Yahweh, which our ancestors made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.”

29 Bog ne daj, da bi se uprli zoper Gospoda in se ta dan obrnili od sledenja Gospodu, da zgradimo oltar za žgalne daritve, za jedilne daritve ali za klavne daritve, poleg oltarja Gospoda, našega Boga, ki je pred njegovim šotorskim svetiščem.«

May it be far from us that we should rebel against Yahweh, and today turn away from following him by building an altar for burnt offering, for grain offering, or for sacrifice, other than the altar of Yahweh our God that is before his tabernacle.'”

30 Ko so duhovnik Pinhás in princi skupnosti in poglavarji tisočerih Izraelovih, ki so bili z njim, slišali besede, ki so jih Rubenovi otroci, Gadovi otroci in Manásejevi otroci govorili, jim je to ugajalo.

When Phinehas the priest and the leaders of the people, that is, the heads of the clans of Israel who were with him, heard the words that the people of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh said, that it was good in their eyes.

31 In Pinhás, sin duhovnika Eleazarja, je rekel Rubenovim otrokom, Gadovim otrokom in Manásejevim otrokom: »Ta dan smo zaznali, da je med nami Gospod, zato ker tega prekrška niste zagrešili zoper Gospoda. Sedaj ste Izraelove otroke osvobodili iz Gospodove roke.«

Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said to the people of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, “Today we know that Yahweh is among us, because you have not committed this breach of faith against him. Now you have rescued the people of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh.”

32 Pinhás, sin duhovnika Eleazarja in princi so se vrnili od Rubenovih otrok in od Gadovih otrok iz dežele Gileád v kánaansko deželo, k Izraelovim otrokom in jim ponovno prinesli besedo.

Then Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, and the leaders returned from the Reubenites and the Gadites, out of the land of Gilead, back to the land of Canaan, to the people of Israel, and brought back word to them.

33 Stvar je ugajala Izraelovim otrokom in Izraelovi otroci so blagoslovili Boga in niso nameravali iti gor zoper njih v bitko, da bi uničili deželo, v kateri so prebivali otroci Rubena in Gada.

Their report was good in the eyes of the people of Israel. The people of Israel blessed God and spoke no more about making war against the Reubenites and the Gadites, in order to destroy the land where they had settled.

34 Rubenovi otroci in Gadovi otroci pa so oltar imenovali Ed, kajti ta bo priča med nami, da Gospod je Bog.

The Reubenites and the Gadites named the altar “Witness,” for they said, “It is a witness between us that Yahweh is God.”
