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.
Joshua got up early in the morning, and they set out from Shittim. They came to the Jordan, he and all the people of Israel, and they camped there before they crossed over.
2 Po treh dneh se je pripetilo, da so častniki šli skozi vojsko
After three days, the officers went through the middle 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.
they commanded the people, “When you see the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and the priests from the Levites carrying it, you must leave this place and follow 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.«
There must be a distance between you and it of about two thousand cubits. Do not come close to it, so that you can see which way to go, since you have not gone this way before.”
5 Józue je rekel ljudstvu: »Posvetite se, kajti jutri bo Gospod med vami delal čudeže.«
Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves tomorrow, for Yahweh 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.
Then Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass in front of the people.” So they picked up the ark of the covenant and went in front of 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.
Yahweh said to Joshua, “This day I will make you a great man in the eyes of all Israel. They will know that as I was with Moses, I will be with you.
8 Duhovnikom, ki nosijo skrinjo zaveze, boš zapovedal, rekoč: ›Ko pridete k robu jordanske vode, boste mirno stali v Jordanu.‹«
You will command the priests who carry the ark of the covenant, 'When you have come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, you must stand still in the Jordan River.'”
9 Izraelovim otrokom je Józue rekel: »Pridite sèm in prisluhnite besedam Gospoda, svojega Boga.«
Then Joshua said to the people of Israel, “Come here, and listen to the words of Yahweh 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.
By this you will know that the living God is among you and will drive out from before you the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
11 Glejte, skrinja zaveze Gospoda vse zemlje, gre preko, pred vami, v Jordan.
Look! The ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth crosses over ahead of you into the Jordan.
12 Zdaj torej vzemite dvanajst mož izmed Izraelovih rodov, iz vsakega rodu moža.
Now choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man from each.
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.«
When the soles of the feet of the priests that carry the ark of Yahweh, the Lord of all the earth, touch the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan will be cut off, and even the waters that flow down from upstream will stop flowing and they will 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
So when the people set out to cross over the Jordan, the priests that carried the ark of the covenant went ahead of 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),
As soon as those who were carrying the ark had come to the Jordan, and the feet of those who carried the chest were dipped in the edge of the water (now the Jordan overflows all its banks throughout the time of the 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.
the waters that flowed down from upstream stood up in one heap. The water stopped flowing from a great distance. The waters stopped flowing from Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan, all the way down to the sea of the Negev, the Salt Sea. The people crossed over near 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.
The priests that carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh stood on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan until all the people of Israel crossed over on dry ground.
