Joshua 24

1 And Ioshua assembled againe all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called the Elders of Israel, and their heades, and their iudges, and their officers, and they presented themselues before God.

Jošua potom sabra sva plemena Izraelova u Šekem; i sazva starješine Izraelove, glavare, suce i upravitelje njihove i oni stadoše pred Bogom.

2 Then Ioshua said vnto all the people, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt beyond the flood in olde time, euen Terah the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor, and serued other gods.

Tada reče Jošua svemu narodu: “Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Nekoć su oci vaši, Terah, otac Abrahamov i Nahorov, živjeli s onu stranu Rijeke i služili drugim bogovima.

3 And I tooke your father Abraham from beyond the flood, and brought him through all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seede, and gaue him Izhak.

Ali sam ja uzeo oca vašega Abrahama s one strane Rijeke i proveo ga kroza svu zemlju kanaansku, umnožio mu potomstvo i dao mu Izaka.

4 And I gaue vnto Izhak, Iaakob and Esau: and I gaue vnto Esau mount Seir, to possesse it: but Iaakob and his children went downe into Egypt.

Izaku dadoh Jakova i Ezava. Ezavu sam dao goru Seir u posjed. Jakov i sinovi njegovi otišli su u Egipat.

5 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt: and when I had so done among them, I brought you out.

Tada sam poslao Mojsija i Arona i udario sam Egipat kaznama koje sam učinio u njemu i tada sam vas izveo.

6 So I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and ye came vnto the Sea, and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with charets and horsemen vnto the red sea.

Izveo sam oce vaše iz Egipta i stigli su na more; Egipćani su progonili vaše oce bojnim kolima i konjanicima sve do Mora crvenoga.

7 Then they cryed vnto the Lord, and he put a darkenesse betweene you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea vpon them, and couered them: so your eyes haue seene what I haue done in Egypt also ye dwelt in the wildernesse a long season.

Zavapili su tada Jahvi i on je razvukao gustu maglu između njih i Egipćana i naveo ih u more koje ih je prekrilo. Vidjeli ste svojim očima što sam učinio Egipćanima; zatim ste ostali dugo vremena u pustinji.

8 After, I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt beyond Iorden, and they fought with you: but I gaue them into your hand, and ye possessed their countrey, and I destroyed them out of your sight.

Nato sam vas uveo u zemlju Amorejaca, koji žive s onu stranu Jordana. Zaratiše s vama i ja ih dadoh u vaše ruke; uzeli ste u baštinu zemlju njihovu jer sam ih ja ispred vas uništio.

9 Also Balak the sonne of Zippor King of Moab arose and warred against Israel, and sent to call Balaam the sonne of Beor for to curse you,

Tada se digao moapski kralj Balak, sin Siporov, da ratuje s Izraelom i on pozva Bileama, sina Beorova, da vas prokune.

10 But I would not heare Balaam: therefore he blessed you, and I deliuered you out of his hand.

Ali ja ne htjedoh poslušati Bileama: morade vas on i blagosloviti, i spasih vas iz njegove ruke.

11 And ye went ouer Iorden, and came vnto Iericho, and the men of Iericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hiuites and the Iebusites, and I deliuered them into your hand.

Onda ste prešli preko Jordana i došli u Jerihon, ali su glavari Jerihona poveli rat protiv vas - kao i Amorejci, Perižani, Kanaanci, Hetiti, Girgašani, Hivijci i Jebusejci - ali sam ih ja predao u vaše ruke.

12 And I sent hornets before you, which cast them out before you, euen the two kings of the Amorites, and not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.

Pred vama sam poslao stršljene koji su ispred vas tjerali dva kralja amorejska: nemaš što zahvaliti svome maču ni svome luku.

13 And I haue giuen you a land, wherein ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and yee dwell in them, and eate of the vineyards and oliue trees, which yee planted not.

Dao sam vam zemlju za koju se niste trudili i gradove koje niste gradili i u njima se nastaniste; i vinograde vam dadoh i maslinike koje niste sadili, a danas vas hrane.'

14 Nowe therefore feare the Lord, and serue him in vprightnesse and in trueth, and put away the gods, which your fathers serued beyonde the flood and in Egypt, and serue the Lord.

I zato se sada bojte Jahve i služite mu savršeno i vjerno! Uklonite bogove kojima su služili oci vaši s onu stranu Rijeke i u Egiptu i služite Jahvi!

15 And if it seeme euill vnto you to serue the Lord, choose you this day whome yee will serue, whether the gods which your fathers serued (that were beyond the flood) or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwel: but I and mine house will serue the Lord.

Međutim, ako vam se ne sviđa služiti Jahvi, onda danas izaberite kome ćete služiti: možda bogovima kojima su služili vaši oci s onu stranu Rijeke ili bogovima Amorejaca u čijoj zemlji sada prebivate. Ja i moj dom služit ćemo Jahvi.”

16 Then the people answered and saide, God forbid, that we shoulde forsake the Lord, to serue other gods.

Narod odgovori: “Daleko neka je od nas da ostavimo Jahvu a služimo drugim bogovima.

17 For the Lord our God, he brought vs and our fathers out of the lande of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and he did those great miracles in our sight, and preserued vs in all the way that we went, and among all the people through whome we came.

Jahve, Bog naš, izveo je nas i naše oce iz Egipta, iz doma robovanja, i on je pred našim očima učinio velika čudesa i čuvao nas cijelim putem kojim smo išli i među svim narodima kroz koje smo prolazili.

18 And the Lord did cast out before vs all the people, euen the Amorites which dwelt in the lande: therefore will we also serue the Lord, for he is our God.

Još više: Jahve je ispred nas protjerao sve narode i Amorejce, koji su živjeli u ovoj zemlji. I mi ćemo služiti Jahvi jer je on Bog naš.”

19 And Ioshua saide vnto the people, Ye can not serue the Lord: for he is an holie God: he is a ielous God: hee will not pardon your iniquitie nor your sinnes.

Tada reče Jošua narodu: “Vi ne možete služiti Jahvi, jer je on Bog sveti, Bog ljubomorni, koji ne može podnijeti vaših prijestupa ni vaših grijeha.

20 If yee forsake the Lord and serue strange gods, then he will returne and bring euill vpon you, and consume you, after that hee hath done you good.

Ako ostavite Jahvu da biste služili tuđim bogovima, okrenut će se protiv vas i uništit će vas, pošto vam je bio dobro činio.”

21 And the people saide vnto Ioshua, Nay, but we will serue the Lord.

A narod odgovori Jošui: “Ne, mi ćemo služiti Jahvi!”

22 And Ioshua saide vnto the people, Yee are witnesses against your selues, that yee haue chosen you the Lord, to serue him: and they sayd, We are witnesses.

Na to će Jošua narodu: “Sami ste protiv sebe svjedoci da ste izabrali Jahvu da mu služite.” Odgovoriše mu: “Svjedoci smo.”

23 Then put away nowe, saide he, the strange gods which are among you, and bowe your hearts vnto the Lord God of Israel.

“Maknite, dakle, tuđe bogove koji su među vama i priklonite svoja srca Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu.”

24 And ye people saide vnto Ioshua, The Lord our God wil we serue, and his voyce wil we obey.

Odgovori narod Jošui: “Služit ćemo Jahvi, Bogu svojemu, i glas ćemo njegov slušati.”

25 So Ioshua made a couenant with the people the same day, and gaue them an ordinance and lawe in Shechem.

Tako sklopi Jošua toga dana Savez s narodom i utvrdi mu uredbu i zakon. Bilo je to u Šekemu.

26 And Ioshua wrote these woordes in the booke of the Lawe of God, and tooke a great stone, and pitched it there vnder an oke that was in the Sanctuarie of the Lord.

Jošua upisa te riječi u Knjigu zakona Božjega. Zatim uze velik kamen i stavi ga ondje pod hrast koji bijaše u svetištu Jahvinu.

27 And Ioshua saide vnto all the people, Beholde, this stone shall be a witnesse vnto vs: for it hath heard all the wordes of the Lord which he spake with vs: it shall be therefore a witnesse against you, lest yee denie your God.

Zatim reče Jošua svemu narodu: “Gle, ovaj kamen neka nam bude svjedokom jer je čuo riječi što ih je govorio Jahve; on će biti svjedok da ne zatajite Boga svoga.”

28 Then Ioshua let the people depart, euery man vnto his inheritance.

Tada Jošua otpusti narod, svakoga na njegovu baštinu.

29 And after these things Ioshua the sonne of Nun, the seruaunt of the Lord died, being an hundreth and ten yeeres olde.

Poslije ovih događaja umrije Jošua, sin Nunov, sluga Jahvin, u dobi od sto deset godina.

30 And they buried him in ye border of his inheritance in Timnath-serah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the Northside of mount Gaash.

Sahraniše ga u kraju što ga je baštinio u Timnat Serahu, u Efrajimovoj gori, sjeverno od gore Gaaša.

31 And Israel serued the Lord all the daies of Ioshua, and all the daies of the Elders that ouerliued Ioshua, and which had knowen all the workes of the Lord that he had done for Israel.

Izrael je služio Jahvi svega vijeka Jošuina i svega vijeka starješina koje su Jošuu nadživjele i vidjele sva djela što ih je Jahve učinio Izraelu.

32 And the bones of Ioseph, which the children of Israel brought out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem in a parcell of ground which Iaakob bought of the sonnes of Hamor the father of Shechem, for an hundreth pieces of siluer, and the children of Ioseph had them in their inheritance.

Kosti Josipove, koje su sinovi Izraelovi sa sobom donijeli iz Egipta, pokopali su u Šekemu, na zemljištu koje Jakov bijaše kupio od sinova Hamora, oca Šekemova, za stotinu srebrnjaka i koje je pripalo u baštinu sinova Josipovih.

33 Also Eleazar the sonne of Aaron died, whome they buried in the hill of Phinehas his sonne, which was giuen him in mount Ephraim.

Umrije i Eleazar, sin Aronov, i pokopaše ga u Gibei, koja je pripadala njegovu sinu Pinhasu a nalazila se u Efrajimovoj gori.
