Joshua 3
1 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and departed from Sattin; and they came as far as Jordan, and lodged there before they crossed over.
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.
2 And it came to pass after three days, [that] the scribes went through the camp;
Po treh dneh se je pripetilo, da so častniki šli skozi vojsko
3 and they charged the people, saying, When you shall see the ark of the covenant of the Lord our God, and our priests and the Levites bearing it, you shall depart from your places, and you shall go after it.
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.
4 But let there be a distance between you and it; you shall stand as much as two thousand cubits [from it]. Do not draw near to it, that you may know the way which you are to go; for you have not gone the way before.
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.«
5 And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, for to-morrow the Lord will do wonders amongst you.
Józue je rekel ljudstvu: »Posvetite se, kajti jutri bo Gospod med vami delal čudeže.«
6 And Joshua said to the priests, Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and go before the people: and the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and went before the people.
Duhovnikom je Józue spregovoril, rekoč: »Dvignite skrinjo zaveze in pojdite čez pred ljudstvom.« In dvignili so skrinjo zaveze in odšli pred ljudstvom.
7 And the Lord said to Joshua, This day do I begin to exalt you before all the children of Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, so will I also be with you.
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.
8 And now charge the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, As soon as you shall enter on a part of the water of Jordan, then you shall stand in Jordan.
Duhovnikom, ki nosijo skrinjo zaveze, boš zapovedal, rekoč: ›Ko pridete k robu jordanske vode, boste mirno stali v Jordanu.‹«
9 And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come hither, and listen to the word of the Lord our God.
Izraelovim otrokom je Józue rekel: »Pridite sèm in prisluhnite besedam Gospoda, svojega Boga.«
10 Hereby you shall know that the living God [is] amongst you, and will utterly destroy from before our face the Chananite, and the Chettite and Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Amorite, and the Gergesite, and the Jebusite.
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.
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passes over Jordan.
Glejte, skrinja zaveze Gospoda vse zemlje, gre preko, pred vami, v Jordan.
12 Choose for yourselves twelve men of the sons of Israel, one of each tribe.
Zdaj torej vzemite dvanajst mož izmed Izraelovih rodov, iz vsakega rodu moža.
13 And it shall come to pass, when the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord of the whole earth rest in the water of Jordan, the water of Jordan [below] shall fail, and the water coming down from above shall stop.
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.«
14 And the people removed from their tents to cross over Jordan, and the priests bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord before the people.
In pripetilo se je, ko se je ljudstvo odpravilo od svojih šotorov, da gredo čez Jordan, in so duhovniki pred ljudstvom nosili skrinjo zaveze
15 And when the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord entered upon Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord were dipped in part of the water of Jordan; (now Jordan overflowed all its banks about the time of wheat harvest: )
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),
16 then the waters that came down from above stopped; there stood one solid heap very far off, as far as the region of Kariathiarim, and the lower part came down to the sea of Araba, the salt sea, till it completely failed; and the people stood opposite Jericho.
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.
17 And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood on dry land in the midst of Jordan; and all the children of Israel went through on dry land, until all the people had completely gone over Jordan.
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.
