Jozue 1

1 Torej po smrti Mojzesa, Gospodovega služabnika, se je pripetilo, da je Gospod spregovoril Nunovemu sinu Józuetu, Mojzesovemu služabniku, rekoč:

And it came to pass after the death of Moses, that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Naue, the minister of Moses, saying,

2 »Moj služabnik Mojzes je mrtev. Sedaj torej vstani, pojdi čez ta Jordan, ti in vse to ljudstvo, v deželo, ki jo dajem njim, torej Izraelovim otrokom.

Moses my servant is dead; now then arise, go over Jordan, you and all this people, into the land, which I give them.

3 Vsak kraj, na katerega bo stopil podplat tvojega stopala, to sem ti dal, kakor sem rekel Mojzesu.

Every spot on which you shall tread I will give it to you, as I said to Moses.

4 Od divjine in tega Libanona, celo do velike reke, reke Evfrat, vso deželo Hetejcev in do velikega morja proti zahajanju sonca, bo vaša pokrajina.

The wilderness and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, and as far as the extremity of the sea; your costs shall be from the setting of the sun.

5 Tam noben mož ne bo zmožen obstati pred teboj vse dni tvojega življenja. Kakor sem bil z Mojzesom, tako bom s teboj. Ne bom te razočaral niti te ne bom zapustil.

Not a man shall stand against you all the days of your life; and as I was with Moses, so will I also be with you, and I will not fail you, or neglect you.

6 Bodi močan in odločnega poguma, kajti temu ljudstvu boš v dediščino razdelil deželo, za katero sem prisegel njihovim očetom, da jim jo dam.

Be strong and 'quit yourself like a man, for you shall divide the land to this people, which I sware to give to your fathers.

7 Samo močan bodi in zelo pogumen, da boš lahko obeležil, da storiš glede na vso postavo, ki ti jo je moj služabnik Mojzes zapovedal. Ne obrni se od nje ne k desni roki ne k levi, da boš lahko uspeval kamorkoli greš.

Be strong, therefore, and quit yourself like a man, to observe and do as Moses my servant commanded you; and you shall not turn therefrom to the right hand or to the left, that you may be wise in whatever you may do.

8 Ta knjiga postave ne bo odšla od tvojih ust, temveč boš o njej premišljeval podnevi in ponoči, da boš lahko obeležil, da storiš glede na vse to, kar je zapisano v njej, kajti takrat boš naredil svojo pot uspešno in takrat boš imel dober uspeh.

And the book of this law shall not depart out of your mouth, and you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may know how to do all the things that are written [in it]; then shall you prosper, and make your ways prosperous, and then shall you be wise.

9 Mar ti nisem jaz zapovedal? Bodi močan in odločnega poguma. Ne bodi prestrašen niti ne bodi zaprepaden, kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je s teboj, kamorkoli greš.«

Behold! I have commanded you; be strong and courageous, be not cowardly nor fearful, for the Lord your God is with you in all places whither you go.

10 Potem je Józue zapovedal častnikom ljudstva, rekoč:

And Joshua commanded the scribes of the people, saying,

11 »Preidite skozi vojsko in zapovejte ljudstvu, rekoč: ›Pripravite svoj živež, kajti v treh dneh boste šli preko tega Jordana, da vstopite, da vzamete v last deželo, ki vam jo daje Gospod, vaš Bog, da jo vzamete v last.‹«

Go into the midst of the camp of the people, and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions; for yet three days and you shall go over this Jordan, entering in to take possession of the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives to you.

12 Rubenovcem in Gádovcem in polovici Manásejevega rodu pa je Józue spregovoril, rekoč:

And to Ruben, and to Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasse, Joshua said,

13 »Spomnite se besede, ki vam jo je zapovedal Gospodov služabnik Mojzes, rekoč: › Gospod, vaš Bog, vam je dal počitek in vam je dal to deželo.‹

Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, the Lord your God has caused you to rest, and has given you this land.

14 Vaše žene, vaši malčki in vaša živina bodo ostali v deželi, ki vam jo je dal Mojzes na tej strani Jordana, toda vi boste pred vašimi brati prečkali oboroženi, vsi močni junaški možje in jim pomagali,

Let your wives and your children and your cattle dwell in the land, which he has given you; and you shall go over well armed before your brethren, every one of you who is strong; and you shall fight on their side;

15 dokler Gospod ne da vašim bratom počitek, kakor ga je dal vam in tudi oni ne vzamejo v last dežele, ki jim jo daje Gospod, vaš Bog. Potem se boste vrnili v deželo svoje posesti in jo uživali, ki vam jo je dal Gospodov služabnik Mojzes na tej strani Jordana, proti sončnemu vzhodu.«

until the Lord your God shall have given your brethren rest, as also to you, and they also shall have inherited the land, which the Lord your God gives them; then you shall depart each one to his inheritance, which Moses gave you beyond Jordan eastward.

16 Józuetu so odgovorili, rekoč: »Vse, kar nam zapoveduješ, bomo storili in kamor nas pošlješ, bomo šli.

And they answered Joshua and said, We will do all things which you command us, and we will go to every place whither you shall send us.

17 Glede na to, kakor smo Mojzesu prisluhnili v vseh stvareh, tako bomo prisluhnili tebi. Samo Gospod, tvoj Bog, naj bo s teboj, kakor je bil z Mojzesom.

Whereinsoever we listened to Moses we will listen to you; only let the Lord our God be with you, as he was with Moses.

18 Kdorkoli je ta, ki se upre zoper tvojo zapoved in ne bo prisluhnil tvojim besedam v vsem, kar mu zapoveš, bo usmrčen. Samo močan bodi in odločnega poguma.«

And whoever shall disobey you, and whoever shall not listen to your words as you shall command him, let him die; but be you strong and courageous.
