Jozue 8
1 Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Ne boj se niti ne bodi zaprepaden. S seboj vzemi vse bojno ljudstvo in se dvigni, pojdi gor do Aja. Glej, v tvojo roko sem izročil ajskega kralja, njegovo ljudstvo, njegovo mesto in njegovo deželo.
And the Lord said to Josue: Fear not, nor be thou dismayed: take with thee all the multitude of fighting men, arise and go up to the town of Hai. Behold I have delivered into thy hand the king thereof, and the people, and the city, and the land.
2 Aju in njegovemu kralju boš storil, kakor si storil Jerihi in njenemu kralju. Samo njegov plen in njegovo živino si boste zaplenili. Zadaj za mestom si postavi zasedo.«
And thou shalt do to the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils and all the cattle you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay an ambush for the city behind it.
3 Tako je Józue vstal in vse bojno ljudstvo, da gredo gor zoper Aj. Józue je izbral trideset tisoč močnih junaških mož in jih ponoči odposlal.
And Josue arose, and all the army of the fighting men with him, to go up against Hai: and he sent thirty thousand chosen valiant men in the night,
4 Zapovedal jim je, rekoč: »Glejte, prežali boste v zasedi zoper mesto, torej za mestom. Ne pojdite zelo daleč od mesta, temveč vsi bodite pripravljeni.
And commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and be ye all ready.
5 Jaz in vse ljudstvo, ki je z menoj, se bomo približali mestu in zgodilo se bo, ko bodo prišli ven zoper nas, kakor prvič, da bomo pobegnili pred njimi,
But I and the rest of the multitude which is with me; will approach on the contrary side against the city. And when they shall come out against us, we will flee, and turn our backs, as we did before:
6 (kajti prišli bodo ven za nami), dokler jih ne bomo pritegnili iz mesta, kajti rekli bodo: ›Pred nami bežijo, kakor prvič.‹ Zato bomo pobegnili pred njimi.
Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before.
7 Potem boste vstali iz zasede in se polastili mesta, kajti Gospod, vaš Bog, ga bo izročil v vašo roko.
And whilst we are fleeing, and they pursuing, you shall arise out of the ambush, and shall destroy the city: and the Lord your God will deliver it into our hands.
8 Zgodilo se bo, ko boste zavzeli mesto, da boste požgali mesto. Glede na Gospodovo zapoved boste storili. Poglejte, zapovedal sem vam.«
And when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded.
9 Józue jih je torej poslal naprej in odšli so, da ležijo v zasedi in ostanejo med Betelom in Ajem, na zahodni strani Aja. Toda Józue je to noč prenočil med ljudstvom.
And he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of the people,
10 Józue je vstal zgodaj zjutraj, preštel ljudstvo in odšel gor, on in Izraelovi starešine, pred ljudstvo Aja.
And rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army environed with the aid of the fighting men.
11 Vse ljudstvo, celo bojno ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, je odšlo gor, se približalo, prišlo pred mesto in se utaborilo na severni strani Aja. Torej tam je bila dolina med njimi in Ajem.
And when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst.
12 Vzel je okoli pet tisoč mož in jih postavil, da ležijo v zasedi med Betelom in Ajem, na zahodni strani mesta.
And he had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same city:
13 Ko so postavili ljudstvo, torej vso vojsko, ki je bila na severu mesta in svoje prežavce v zasedi na zahodni strani mesta, je to noč Józue odšel v sredo doline.
But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Josue went that night, and stood in the midst of the valley.
14 Ko je kralj Aja to videl, se je pripetilo, da so pohiteli in zgodaj vstali in možje iz mesta so odšli ven zoper Izraela, da se bojujejo, on in vse njegovo ljudstvo, ob določenem času pred ravnino. Toda ni vedel, da so bili za mestom zoper njega prežavci v zasedi.
And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back.
15 Józue in ves Izrael so se pretvarjali kakor bi bili poraženi pred njimi in pobegnili po poti divjine.
But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness.
16 Vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo v Aju, je bilo sklicano skupaj, da jih zasledujejo. Zasledovali so Józueta in bili so pritegnjeni proč iz mesta.
But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city,
17 V Aju ali v Betelu ni ostal niti mož, ki ne bi odšel ven za Izraelom in mesto so pustili odprto in sledili za Izraelom.
And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out,
18 Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Iztegni sulico, ki je v tvoji roki, zoper Aj, kajti jaz ga bom dal v tvojo roko.« Józue je zoper mesto iztegnil sulico, ki jo je imel v svoji roki.
The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee.
19 Zaseda je hitro vstala iz svojega kraja in stekli so takoj, ko je iztegnil svojo roko. Vstopili so v mesto, ga zavzeli, pohiteli in mesto zažgali.
And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it and set it on fire.
20 Ko so možje iz Aja pogledali za seboj, so videli in glej, dim iz mesta se je dvigoval proti nebu in niso imeli moči, da pobegnejo to pot ali tisto pot. Ljudstvo, ki je bežalo k divjini, se je obrnilo nazaj proti zasledovalcem.
And the men of the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued.
21 Ko je Józue in ves Izrael videl, da je zaseda zavzela mesto in da se iz mesta dviguje dim, potem so se ponovno obrnili in usmrtili može iz Aja.
So Josue and all Israel seeing that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city rose up, returned and slew the men of Hai.
22 In drugi so izšli iz mesta zoper njih. Tako so bili v sredi Izraela, nekateri na tej strani in nekateri na oni strani in udarili so jih tako, da nobenega izmed njih niso pustili ostati ali pobegniti.
And they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them. So that the enemies being cut off on both sides, not one of so great a multitude was saved.
23 Kralja Aja so prijeli živega in ga privedli pred Józueta.
And they took the king of the city of Hai alive, and brought him to Josue.
24 Ko je Izrael naredil konec pobijanju vseh prebivalcev Aja na polju, v divjini, kjer so jih zasledovali in ko so vsi padli pod ostrino meča, dokler niso bili použiti, se je pripetilo, da so se vsi Izraelci vrnili v Aj in ga udarili z ostrino meča.
So all being slain that had pursued after Israel in his flight to the wilderness, and tailing by the sword in the same place, the children of Israel returned and laid waste the city.
25 Bilo je tako, da je bilo vseh, ki so ta dan padli, tako mož in žensk, dvanajst tisoč, torej vsi možje iz Aja.
And the number of them that fell that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand persons all of the city of Hai.
26 Kajti Józue svoje roke, s katero je iztegnil sulico, ni potegnil nazaj, dokler ni popolnoma uničil vseh prebivalcev Aja.
But Josue drew not back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, holding the shield, till all the inhabitants of Hai were slain.
27 Samo živino in ukradeno blago iz mesta si je Izrael vzel za plen, glede na Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je zapovedal Józuetu.
And the children of Israel divided among them the cattle and the prey of the city, as the Lord had commanded Josue.
28 Józue je požgal Aj in ga naredil kup na veke, opustošenje do današnjega dne.
And he burned the city, and made it a heap for ever:
29 Ajskega kralja je obesil na drevo do večera in takoj, ko je sonce zašlo, je Józue zapovedal, da njegovo truplo vzamejo dol iz drevesa in ga odvržejo pri vhodu velikih vrat mesta in nad njim naložijo velik kup kamenja, ki ostaja do tega dne.
And he hung the king thereof on a gibbet until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day.
30 Potem je Józue zgradil oltar Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu, na gori Ebál,
Then Josue built an altar to the Lord the God of Israel in mount Hebal,
31 kakor je Gospodov služabnik Mojzes zapovedal Izraelovim otrokom, kakor je to zapisano v knjigi Mojzesove postave, oltar iz celih kamnov, nad katere noben človek ni dvignil nobenega železa in na njem so darovali žgalne daritve Gospodu in žrtvovali mirovne daritve.
As Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of unhewn stones which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of peace offerings.
32 Na kamne je napisal prepis iz Mojzesove postave, ki jo je napisal v prisotnosti Izraelovih otrok.
And he wrote upon stones the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered before the children of Israel.
33 Ves Izrael, njihove starešine, častniki in njihovi sodniki, so stali na tej strani skrinje in na oni strani, pred duhovniki Lévijevci, ki so nosili skrinjo Gospodove zaveze, kakor tudi tujec, kakor ta, ki je bil rojen med njimi. Polovica izmed njih nasproti gore Garizím in polovica izmed njih nasproti gore Ebál, kakor je Gospodov služabnik Mojzes prej zapovedal, da bodo blagoslovili izraelsko ljudstvo.
And all the people, and the ancients, and the princes and judges stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by mount Garizim, and half by mount Hebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. And first he blessed the people of Israel.
34 Potem je bral vse besede iz postave, blagoslove in prekletstva, glede na vse, kar je zapisano v knjigi postave.
After this he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing and all things that were written in the hook of the law.
35 Ni bilo besede od vsega, kar je Mojzes zapovedal, česar Józue ni prebral pred vso Izraelovo skupnostjo, z ženskami, malčki in tujci, ki so bili seznanjeni med njimi.
He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and children and strangers that dwelt among them.
