Jozue 3
1 Józue je zgodaj zjutraj vstal in odpravili so se iz Šitíma ter prišli k Jordanu, on in vsi Izraelovi otroci in tam so prenočili, preden so šli čez.
And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel; and they lodged there before they passed over.
2 Po treh dneh se je pripetilo, da so častniki šli skozi vojsko
And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp;
3 in zapovedali ljudstvu, rekoč: »Ko zagledate skrinjo zaveze Gospoda, svojega Boga in duhovnike in Lévijevce, ki jo nosijo, potem se boste odpravili iz svojega kraja in šli za njo.
and they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
4 Vendar naj bo med vami in njo prazen prostor, okoli dva tisoč komolcev po meri. Ne pridite bliže k njej, da boste lahko poznali pot, po kateri morate iti, kajti poprej še niste šli po tej poti.«
Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
5 Józue je rekel ljudstvu: »Posvetite se, kajti jutri bo Gospod med vami delal čudeže.«
And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
6 Duhovnikom je Józue spregovoril, rekoč: »Dvignite skrinjo zaveze in pojdite čez pred ljudstvom.« In dvignili so skrinjo zaveze in odšli pred ljudstvom.
And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
7 Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Ta dan te bom začel poveličevati pred očmi vsega Izraela, da bodo lahko vedeli, da kakor sem bil z Mojzesom, tako bom s teboj.
And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
8 Duhovnikom, ki nosijo skrinjo zaveze, boš zapovedal, rekoč: ›Ko pridete k robu jordanske vode, boste mirno stali v Jordanu.‹«
And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the waters of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.
9 Izraelovim otrokom je Józue rekel: »Pridite sèm in prisluhnite besedam Gospoda, svojega Boga.«
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
10 Józue je rekel: »S tem boste spoznali, da je med vami živi Bog in da bo on čisto gotovo pred vami napodil Kánaance, Hetejce, Hivéjce, Perizéjce, Girgašéjce, Amoréjce in Jebusejce.
And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite.
11 Glejte, skrinja zaveze Gospoda vse zemlje, gre preko, pred vami, v Jordan.
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
12 Zdaj torej vzemite dvanajst mož izmed Izraelovih rodov, iz vsakega rodu moža.
Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, for every tribe a man.
13 Zgodilo se bo, takoj ko bodo podplati stopal duhovnikov, ki nosijo skrinjo Gospoda, Gospoda vse zemlje, počivali v vodah Jordana, da bodo vode Jordana odrezane od vod, ki prihajajo dol od zgoraj in bodo stale na kupu.«
And it shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off, even the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in one heap.
14 In pripetilo se je, ko se je ljudstvo odpravilo od svojih šotorov, da gredo čez Jordan, in so duhovniki pred ljudstvom nosili skrinjo zaveze
And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, the priests that bare the ark of the covenant being before the people;
15 in ko so tisti, ki so nosili skrinjo, prišli k Jordanu in so bila stopala duhovnikov, ki so nosili skrinjo, omočena v rob vode (kajti Jordan ves čas žetve preplavlja vse svoje bregove),
and when they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brink of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all its banks all the time of harvest, )
16 da so vode, ki so prihajale dol od zgoraj, stale in se vzdignile na kup, zelo daleč od mesta Adám, ki je poleg Caretána. Tiste, ki so prihajale dol k morju ravnine, torej slanemu morju, so odtekle in bile odrezane in ljudstvo je šlo čez prav nasproti Jerihi.
that the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap, a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan: and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
17 Duhovniki, ki so nosili skrinjo Gospodove zaveze, so trdno stali na suhih tleh v sredi Jordana in vsi Izraelci so šli čez po suhih tleh, dokler ni vse ljudstvo šlo čez Jordan.
And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all Israel passed over on dry ground, until all the nation were passed clean over Jordan.
