< Joshua 2 >

1 And Joshua the son of Nun secretly sent two young men out of Shittim as spies, saying, "Go, view the land, and Jericho." And the two young men went and came to Jericho and entered into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and slept there.
A Isus sin Navin posla iz Sitima potajno dvije uhode rekavši im: idite, vidite zemlju i Jerihon. I oni otidoše, i doðoše u kuæu jednoj kurvi, kojoj ime bješe Rava, i poèinuše ondje.
2 The king of Jericho was told, "Look, men of the children of Israel came in here to spy out the land."
Ali bi javljeno caru Jerihonskom i kazano: evo, ljudi doðoše ovamo noæas izmeðu sinova Izrailjevih da uhode zemlju.
3 The king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men who came to you tonight; for they have come to spy out all the land."
I posla car Jerihonski k Ravi i poruèi: izvedi ljude koji su došli k tebi i ušli u tvoju kuæu, jer su došli da uhode svu zemlju.
4 The woman took the two men and hid them. Then she said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they came from.
Ali žena uzevši ona dva èovjeka sakri ih; pa reèe: jest istina da su ljudi došli k meni, ali ja ne znah odakle bijahu;
5 It happened about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went, I do not know. Pursue them quickly; for you will overtake them."
I kad se vrata zatvorahu u sumrak, ljudi izidoše; ne znam kuda otidoše; idite brzo za njima; stignuæete ih.
6 But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.
A ona ih bješe izvela na krov, i sakrila ih pod lan netrven, koji bijaše razastrla po krovu.
7 The men pursued them the way to the Jordan to the fords: and as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.
I ljudi poðoše za njima u potjeru put Jordana do broda; i vrata se zatvoriše kad izide potjera za njima.
8 Before they had lain down, she came up to them on the roof;
Oni pak još ne bjehu pospali, a ona doðe k njima na krov,
9 and she said to the men, "I know that the LORD has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.
I reèe im: znam da vam je Gospod dao ovu zemlju, jer nas popade strah od vas, i prepali su se od vas svi koji žive u ovoj zemlji.
10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
Jer èusmo kako je Gospod osušio pred vama Crveno More kad izidoste iz Misira, i šta ste uèinili od dva cara Amorejska koji bijahu preko Jordana, od Siona i Oga, koje pobiste.
11 As soon as we had heard it, our hearts melted, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.
I kad to èusmo, rastopi se srce naše, i ni u kome veæ nema junaštva od straha vašega; jer je Gospod, Bog vaš, Bog gore na nebu i dolje na zemlji.
12 Now therefore, please swear to me by the LORD, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a true token;
Nego sada zakunite mi se Gospodom da æete uèiniti milost domu oca mojega kao što ja vama uèinih milost, i dajte mi znak istinit,
13 and that you will save alive my father, my mother, my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives from death."
Da æete saèuvati život mojemu ocu i mojoj materi i mojoj braæi i mojim sestrama i svjema njihovijem, i da æete izbaviti duše naše od smrti.
14 The men said to her, "Our life for yours, even to death, if you do not talk about this business of ours; and it shall be, when the LORD gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you."
A ljudi joj odgovoriše: mi æemo izginuti za vas, ako ne izdate ove naše stvari; i kad nam Gospod da ovu zemlju, uèiniæemo ti milost i vjeru.
15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was on the side of the wall, and she lived on the wall.
Tada ih ona spusti kroz prozor po konopcu; jer kuæa njezina bješe na zidu gradskom, i ona na zidu nastavaše.
16 She said to them, "Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers find you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned. Afterward, you may go your way."
I reèe im: idite u goru da ne naiðe na vas potjera, i ondje se krijte tri dana dokle se ne vrati potjera, pa onda idite svojim putem.
17 The men said to her, "We will be guiltless of this your oath which you have made us to swear.
A ljudi joj rekoše: biæemo prosti od ove tvoje zakletve kojom si nas zaklela;
18 Look, when we come into the land, you shall bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which you did let us down by. You shall gather to yourself into the house your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father's household.
Evo, kad doðemo u zemlju, veži ovu vrvcu od skerleta na prozor, kroz koji si nas spustila, i skupi kod sebe u tu kuæu oca svojega i mater i braæu i sav dom oca svojega.
19 It shall be that whoever goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, and we will be guiltless. Whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand is on him.
I ko bi god izašao iz tvoje kuæe, krv njegova neka bude na njegovu glavu, a mi da nijesmo krivi; a ko god bude s tobom u kuæi, krv njegova neka doðe na naše glave, ako ga se ko rukom dotakne.
20 But if you talk about this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless of your oath which you have made us to swear."
Ali ako izdaš ovu stvar našu, tada æemo biti prosti od tvoje zakletve, kojom si nas zaklela.
21 She said, "According to your words, so be it." She sent them away, and they departed. She tied the scarlet line in the window.
A ona odgovori: kako rekoste tako neka bude. Tada ih pusti, i otidoše; i ona veza vrvcu od skerleta na prozor.
22 They went, and came to the mountain, and stayed there three days, until the pursuers had returned. The pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but did not find them.
A oni otišavši doðoše u goru, i ostaše ondje tri dana dokle se ne vrati potjera; jer ih potjera tražaše po svijem putovima, ali ih ne naðe.
23 Then the two men returned, descended from the mountain, passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had happened to them.
I vratiše se ona dva èovjeka, i sišavši s gore prebrodiše i doðoše k Isusu sinu Navinu, i pripovjediše mu sve što im se dogodilo.
24 They said to Joshua, "Truly the LORD has delivered into our hands all the land. Moreover, all the inhabitants of the land melt away before us."
I rekoše Isusu: zaista dao nam je Gospod u ruke svu tu zemlju, i svi stanovnici one zemlje uplašili su se od nas.
