Jošua 1
1 Poslije smrti Mojsija, sluge Jahvina, reče Jahve Jošui, sinu Nunovu, pomoćniku Mojsijevu:
Now it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
2 “Moj je sluga Mojsije umro; zato sada ustani, prijeđi preko toga Jordana, ti i sav taj narod, u zemlju koju dajem sinovima Izraelovim.
Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, to the land which I give to them, even to the sons of Israel.
3 Svako mjesto na koje stupi vaša noga dajem vam, kao što obećah Mojsiju.
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, to you I have given it, as I spoke to Moses.
4 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.
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 going down of the sun, shall be your border.
5 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.
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.
6 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.
Be strong and of good courage, for thou shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
7 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.
Only be strong and very courageous to 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 may have good success wherever thou go.
8 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:
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shall meditate on it day and night, that thou may observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then thou shall make thy way prosperous, and then thou shall have good success.
9 odvaži se i budi hrabar? Ne boj se i ne strahuj, jer kuda god pođeš, s tobom je Jahve, Bog tvoj.”
Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage. Be not frightened, neither be thou dismayed, for Jehovah thy God is with thee wherever thou go.
10 Tada zapovijedi Jošua glavarima narodnim:
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 “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.'”
Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare food for you, for within three days ye are to pass over this Jordan to go in to possess the land, which Jehovah your God gives you to possess it.
12 Zatim reče Jošua plemenu Rubenovu i Gadovu i polovini plemena Manašeova:
And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua spoke, saying,
13 “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.
Remember the word which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God gives you rest, and will give you this land.
14 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,
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall abide in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan, but ye shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them
15 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.'”
until Jehovah has given your brothers rest, as you, and they also have possessed the land which Jehovah your God gives them. Then ye shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.
16 Oni odgovore Jošui: “Sve što nam zapovjediš, učinit ćemo, i kuda nas god pošalješ, poći ćemo.
And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou have commanded us we will do, and wherever thou send us we will go.
17 Kao što smo slušali Mojsija, tako ćemo se pokoravati i tebi. Samo neka Jahve, Bog tvoj, bude s tobom kao što bijaše s Mojsijem!
According as we hearkened to Moses in all things, so will we hearken to thee. Only Jehovah thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18 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!”
Whoever he is who shall rebel against thy commandment, and shall not hearken to thy words in all that thou command him, he shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage.
