Joshua 1
1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,
Poslije smrti Mojsija, sluge Jahvina, reče Jahve Jošui, sinu Nunovu, pomoćniku Mojsijevu:
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, to the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
“Moj je sluga Mojsije umro; zato sada ustani, prijeđi preko toga Jordana, ti i sav taj narod, u zemlju koju dajem sinovima Izraelovim.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given to you, as I said to Moses.
Svako mjesto na koje stupi vaša noga dajem vam, kao što obećah Mojsiju.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the setting of the sun, shall be your land.
Od pustinje i od Libanona pa do Velike rijeke, rijeke Eufrata, i sve do Velikog mora na sunčanom zapadu - sve će to biti vaše područje.
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Nitko neće odoljeti pred tobom u sve dane tvog života; ja ću biti s tobom, kao što sam bio s Mojsijem, i nikada te neću napustiti niti ću te ostaviti.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for to this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I swore to their fathers to give them.
Budi odvažan i hrabar jer ćeš ti uvesti narod ovaj da primi u baštinu zemlju za koju se zakleh ocima njihovim da ću im je dati.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper wherever thou goest.
Samo budi odvažan i hrabar da sve učiniš vjerno prema naredbama koje ti je dao Mojsije, sluga moj. Ne skreći od toga ni desno ni lijevo da bi ti bilo sretno sve što poduzmeš.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate in it day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Neka knjiga Zakona bude na ustima tvojim: razmišljaj o njoj danju i noću, kako bi vjerno držao sve što je u njoj napisano: samo ćeš tada biti sretan i uspjet ćeš u pothvatima. Nisam li ti zapovjedio:
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee wherever thou goest.
odvaži se i budi hrabar? Ne boj se i ne strahuj, jer kuda god pođeš, s tobom je Jahve, Bog tvoj.”
10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
Tada zapovijedi Jošua glavarima narodnim:
11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
“Prođite kroz tabor i proglasite puku ovu zapovijed: 'Spremite sebi brašnenice jer ćete za tri dana prijeći preko Jordana da biste primili u posjed zemlju koju vam Jahve, Bog vaš, daje u baštinu.'”
12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spoke Joshua, saying,
Zatim reče Jošua plemenu Rubenovu i Gadovu i polovini plemena Manašeova:
13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
“Sjetite se onoga što vam je zapovjedio Mojsije, sluga Jahvin, kada vam je rekao: 'Jahve, Bog vaš, hoće da počinete i daje vam ovu zemlju.
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;
Vaše žene, djeca i stada mogu ostati u zemlji koju vam je dao Mojsije s onu stranu Jordana. Vi pak ratnici, za boj spremni, morate naoružani poći pred svojom braćom da im pomognete,
15 Until the LORD shall have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return to the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD’S servant gave you on this side of Jordan toward the sunrising.
sve dok Jahve ne dade da počinu i vaša braća, kao i vi, i dok ne zaposjednu zemlju koju im daje Jahve, Bog vaš. Tada se možete vratiti u zemlju koja vam pripada i koju vam je dao Jahvin sluga Mojsije, na drugoj strani Jordana, prema istoku sunca.'”
16 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and wherever thou sendest us, we will go.
Oni odgovore Jošui: “Sve što nam zapovjediš, učinit ćemo, i kuda nas god pošalješ, poći ćemo.
17 According as we hearkened to Moses in all things, so will we hearken to thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
Kao što smo slušali Mojsija, tako ćemo se pokoravati i tebi. Samo neka Jahve, Bog tvoj, bude s tobom kao što bijaše s Mojsijem!
18 Every one that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken to thy words in all that thou commandest him, shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
Tko se god usprotivi tvome glasu i ne posluša tvojih riječi u svemu što mu zapovjediš neka bude pogubljen. Samo ti budi odvažan i hrabar!”
