Jozue 4
1 Pripetilo se je, ko je vse ljudstvo dokončalo prehod čez Jordan, da je Gospod spregovoril Józuetu, rekoč:
It happened, when all the nation had completely passed over the Jordan, that the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,
2 »Vzemi dvanajst mož izmed ljudstva, iz vsakega rodu moža
"Take twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
3 in jim zapovej, rekoč: ›Iz srede Jordana, iz kraja, kjer so trdno stala stopala duhovnikov, vzemite dvanajst kamnov in odnesli jih boste s seboj prek [Jordana] in jih pustili na kraju za nastanitev, kjer boste to noč prenočili.‹«
and command them, saying, 'Take up for yourselves from here, from the middle of the Jordan from the place where the feet of the priests stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging place, where you will lodge tonight.'"
4 Potem je Józue poklical dvanajst mož, ki jih je postavil izmed Izraelovih otrok, iz vsakega rodu moža
Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
5 in Józue jim je rekel: »Pojdite čez pred skrinjo Gospoda, svojega Boga, v sredo Jordana in vsak izmed vas naj na svojo ramo vzame kamen, glede na število rodov Izraelovih otrok,
Joshua said to them, "Pass over before me in the presence of the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan, and each of you pick up a stone and put it on your shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;
6 da bo to lahko znamenje med vami, da ko vaši otroci vprašajo svoje starše, v času, ki pride, rekoč: ›Kaj mislite s temi kamni?‹
that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in time to come, saying, 'What do you mean by these stones?'
7 Potem jim boste odgovorili: ›Da so bile vode Jordana odrezane pred skrinjo Gospodove zaveze. Ko je ta šla čez Jordan, so bile jordanske vode odsekane in ti kamni bodo Izraelovim otrokom v spomin na veke.‹«
then you shall tell them, 'Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD. When it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.'"
8 Izraelovi otroci so storili, kakor je Józue zapovedal in iz srede Jordana vzeli dvanajst kamnov, kakor je Gospod govoril Józuetu, glede na število rodov Izraelovih otrok in jih s seboj odnesli preko [Jordana] na kraj, kjer so prenočili in tam so jih odložili.
The children of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the middle of the Jordan, as the LORD spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
9 Józue je dvanajst kamnov postavil v sredo Jordana, na kraj, kjer so stala stopala duhovnikov, ki so nosili skrinjo zaveze in tam so do današnjega dne.
Joshua set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there to this day.
10 Kajti duhovniki, ki so nosili skrinjo, so stali v sredi Jordana, dokler ni bila končana vsaka stvar, ki jo je Gospod zapovedal Józuetu, da spregovori ljudstvu, glede na vse, kar je Mojzes zapovedal Józuetu in ljudstvo je pohitelo in šlo čez.
For the priests who bore the ark stood in the middle of the Jordan, until everything was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua; and the people hurried and passed over.
11 Pripetilo se je, ko je vse ljudstvo dokončalo prehod čez [Jordan], da je šla čez skrinja in duhovniki v prisotnosti ljudstva.
It happened, when all the people had completely passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, with the priests, in the presence of the people.
12 Rubenovi otroci, Gadovi otroci in polovica Manásejevega rodu so oboroženi šli čez pred Izraelovimi otroki, kakor jim je govoril Mojzes.
The descendants of Reuben, and the descendants of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spoke to them.
13 Okoli štirideset tisoč pripravljenih za vojno je šlo čez pred Gospodom v bitko k ravninam Jerihe.
About forty thousand men, ready and armed for war passed over before the LORD to battle, to the plains of Jericho.
14 Na ta dan je Gospod poveličal Józueta v očeh vsega Izraela in oni so se ga bali, kakor so se bali Mojzesa, vse dni njegovega življenja.
On that day, the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
15 Gospod je spregovoril Józuetu, rekoč:
The LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,
16 »Zapovej duhovnikom, ki nosijo skrinjo pričevanja, da pridejo gor, ven iz Jordana.«
"Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan."
17 Józue je torej zapovedal duhovnikom, rekoč: »Pridite gor iz Jordana.«
Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, "Come up out of the Jordan."
18 Pripetilo se je, ko so duhovniki, ki so nosili skrinjo Gospodove zaveze, prišli gor iz srede Jordana in so bili podplati duhovniških stopal dvignjeni na suho zemljo, da so se vode Jordana vrnile na svoj kraj in stekle čez vse svoje bregove, kakor so počele poprej.
It happened, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD had come up out of the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up to the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks, as before.
19 In ljudstvo je prišlo gor iz Jordana na deseti dan prvega meseca ter se utaborilo v Gilgálu, na vzhodni meji Jerihe.
The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and camped in Gilgal, on the east border of Jericho.
20 Tistih dvanajst kamnov, ki so jih vzeli iz Jordana, je Józue postavil v Gilgálu.
Joshua set up those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, in Gilgal.
21 Izraelovim otrokom je spregovoril, rekoč: »Ko bodo vaši otroci vprašali svoje očete, v času, ki pride, rekoč: ›Kaj pomenijo ti kamni?‹
He spoke to the children of Israel, saying, "When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, 'What do these stones mean?'
22 Potem boste svojim otrokom dali vedeti, rekoč: ›Izrael je po suhih tleh prešel preko tega Jordana.
Then you shall let your children know, saying, 'Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
23 Kajti Gospod, vaš Bog, je izpred vas posušil vode Jordana, dokler niste prešli čez, kakor je Gospod, vaš Bog, storil Rdečemu morju, ki ga je posušil pred nami, dokler nismo prešli čez,
For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until you had passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over;
24 da bi vsa ljudstva zemlje lahko poznala Gospodovo roko, da je ta mogočna, da se boste lahko na veke bali Gospoda, svojega Boga.‹«
that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty; that you may fear the LORD your God forever.'"
