Joshua 3
1 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they departed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed 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 officers went through the host;
Po treh dneh se je pripetilo, da so častniki šli skozi vojsko
3 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and 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 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near to it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this 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: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
Józue je rekel ljudstvu: »Posvetite se, kajti jutri bo Gospod med vami delal čudeže.«
6 And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, 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 will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
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 thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye have come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still 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 here, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
Izraelovim otrokom je Józue rekel: »Pridite sèm in prisluhnite besedam Gospoda, svojega Boga.«
10 And Joshua said, By this ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
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 passeth over before you into Jordan.
Glejte, skrinja zaveze Gospoda vse zemlje, gre preko, pred vami, v Jordan.
12 Now therefore take for yourselves twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
Zdaj torej vzemite dvanajst mož izmed Izraelovih rodov, iz vsakega rodu moža.
13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in an heap.
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 it came to pass, when the people departed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant 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 as they that bore the ark had come to Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all its banks all the time of 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 That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up in an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over 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 firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people had finished crossing the 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.
