Jozue 9

1 Pripetilo se je, ko so vsi kralji, ki so bili na tej strani Jordana, na hribih, v dolinah in po vseh pokrajinah vélikega morja nasproti Libanonu, Hetejci, Amoréjci, Kánaanci, Perizéjci, Hivéjci in Jebusejci, slišali o tem,

And it cometh to pass, when all the kings who [are] beyond the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the low-country, and in every haven of the great sea, over-against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, hear —

2 da so se zbrali skupaj, da se soglasno bojujejo z Józuetom in z Izraelom.

that they gather themselves together to fight with Joshua, and with Israel — one mouth.

3 Ko so prebivalci Gibeóna slišali, kaj je Józue storil Jerihi in Aju,

And the inhabitants of Gibeon have heard that which Joshua hath done to Jericho and to Ai,

4 so prebrisano storili in odšli ter se naredili kakor, da so bili predstavniki in na svoje osle dali stare vreče in vinske mehove, stare in raztrgane ter jih povezali

and they work, even they, with subtilty, and go, and feign to be ambassadors, and take old sacks for their asses, and wine-bottles, old, and rent, and bound up,

5 in stare čevlje, zakrpane na njihovih stopalih in stare obleke na njih in ves kruh njihove popotnice je bil suh in drobljiv.

and sandals, old and patched, on their feet, and old garments upon them, and all the bread of their provision is dry — it was crumbs.

6 Odšli so k Józuetu v tabor pri Gilgálu, in rekli njemu in Izraelovim možem: »Prišli smo iz daljne dežele, zdaj torej sklenite zavezo z nami.«

And they go unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, and say unto him, and unto the men of Israel, 'From a land far off we have come, and now, make with us a covenant;'

7 Možje iz Izraela so rekli Hivéjcem: »Morda prebivate med nami in kako naj sklenemo zavezo z vami?«

and the men of Israel say unto the Hivite, 'It may be in our midst ye are dwelling, and how do we make with thee a covenant?'

8 Ti so Józuetu rekli: »Mi smo tvoji služabniki.« Józue jim je rekel: »Kdo ste? In od kod ste prišli?«

and they say unto Joshua, 'Thy servants we [are].' And Joshua saith unto them, 'Who [are] ye? and whence come ye?'

9 Rekli so mu: »Iz zelo oddaljene dežele so prišli tvoji služabniki zaradi imena Gospoda, tvojega Boga, kajti slišali smo sloves o njem in vse, kar je storil v Egiptu

And they say unto him, 'From a land very far off have thy servants come, for the name of Jehovah thy God, for we have heard His fame, and all that He hath done in Egypt,

10 in vse, kar je storil dvema kraljema Amoréjcev, ki sta bila onkraj Jordana, hešbónskemu kralju Sihónu in bašánskemu kralju Ogu, ki je bil pri Aštarótu.

and all that He hath done to the two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who [is] in Ashtaroth.

11 Zato so nam naši starešine in vsi prebivalci dežele govorili, rekoč: ›S seboj vzemite živež za potovanje in pojdite, da jih srečate in jim recite: ›Mi smo vaši služabniki, zato zdaj sklenite zavezo z nami.‹‹

'And our elders, and all the inhabitants of our land speak unto us, saying, Take in your hand provision for the way, and go to meet them, and ye have said unto them, Your servants we [are], and now, make with us a covenant;

12 Ta naš kruh smo vzeli še vročega za našo popotnico iz naših hiš na dan, ko smo šli, da gremo k vam, toda sedaj, glejte, je ta suh in drobljiv.

this our bread — hot we provided ourselves with it out of our houses, on the day of our coming out to go unto you, and now, lo, it is dry, and hath been crumbs;

13 Ti vinski mehovi, ki smo jih napolnili, so bili novi, in glejte, raztrgani so. Te naše obleke in naši čevlji so postali stari zaradi razloga zelo dolgega potovanja.«

and these [are] the wine-bottles which we filled, new, and lo, they have rent; and these, our garments and our sandals, have become old, from the exceeding greatness of the way.'

14 Možje so vzeli od njihovega živeža, niso pa vprašali za nasvet pri Gospodovih ustih.

And the men take of their provision, and the mouth of Jehovah have not asked;

15 Józue je z njimi sklenil mir in z njimi sklenil zavezo, da jih pusti žive, in princi skupnosti so jim prisegli.

and Joshua maketh with them peace, and maketh with them a covenant, to keep them alive; and swear to them do the princes of the company.

16 Pripetilo pa se je ob koncu treh dni, potem ko so z njimi sklenili zavezo, da so slišali, da so bili njihovi sosedje in da so prebivali med njimi.

And it cometh to pass, at the end of three days after that they have made with them a covenant, that they hear that they [are] their neighbours — that in their midst they are dwelling.

17 Izraelovi otroci so odpotovali in na tretji dan prišli v njihova mesta. Torej njihova mesta so bila Gibeón, Kefíra, Beerót in Kirját Jearím.

And the sons of Israel journey and come in unto their cities on the third day — and their cities [are] Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-Jearim —

18 Izraelovi otroci jih niso udarili, ker so jim princi skupnosti prisegli pri Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu. In vsa skupnost je godrnjala zoper prince.

and the sons of Israel have not smitten them, for sworn to them have the princes of the company by Jehovah God of Israel, and all the company murmur against the princes.

19 Toda vsi princi so vsej skupnosti rekli: »Prisegli smo jim pri Gospodu, Izraelovem Bogu. Sedaj se jih torej ne smemo dotakniti.

And all the princes say unto all the company, 'We — we have sworn to them by Jehovah, God of Israel; and now, we are not able to come against them;

20 To jim bomo storili. Celo žive jih bomo pustili, da ne bi bil nad nami bes zaradi prisege, ki smo jim jo prisegli.«

this we do to them, and have kept them alive, and wrath is not upon us, because of the oath which we have sworn to them.'

21 Princi so jim rekli: »Naj živijo, toda naj bodo drvarji in prinašalci vode vsej skupnosti, « kakor so jim princi obljubili.

And the princes say unto them, 'They live, and are hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the company, as the princes spake to them.'

22 Józue jih je dal poklicati in jim spregovoril, rekoč: »Zakaj ste nas preslepili, rekoč: ›Mi smo zelo daleč od vas, ‹ ko prebivate med nami?

And Joshua calleth for them, and speaketh unto them, saying, 'Why have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you, and ye in our midst dwelling?

23 Zdaj ste torej prekleti in nihče izmed vas naj ne bo prost pred tem, da bi bili sužnji, drvarji in prinašalci vode za hišo mojega Boga.«

and now, cursed are ye, and none of you is cut off [from being] a servant, even hewers of wood and drawers of water, for the house of my God.'

24 Józuetu so odgovorili in rekli: »Ker je bilo tvojim služabnikom zagotovo povedano to, kako je Gospod, tvoj Bog, zapovedal svojemu služabniku Mojzesu, da vam da vso deželo in da pred seboj uničite vse prebivalce dežele, zato smo bili zaradi vas boleče prestrašeni za svoja življenja in smo storili to stvar.

And they answer Joshua and say, 'Because it was certainly declared to thy servants, that Jehovah thy God commanded Moses His servant to give to you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; and we fear greatly for ourselves because of you, and we do this thing;

25 In sedaj glej, mi smo v tvoji roki. Kakor se ti zdi dobro in pravilno, da nam storiš, stôri.«

and now, lo, we [are] in thy hand, as [it is] good, and as [it is] right in thine eyes to do to us — do.'

26 Tako jim je storil in jih osvobodil iz roke Izraelovih otrok, da jih niso pobili.

And he doth to them so, and delivereth them from the hand of the sons of Israel, and they have not slain them;

27 Józue jih je ta dan naredil za drvarje in prinašalce vode za skupnost in za Gospodov oltar, celo do tega dne, na kraju, ki bi ga izbral.

and Joshua maketh them on that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the company, and for the altar of Jehovah, unto this day, at the place which He doth choose.
