Jošua 22
1 Tada sazove Jošua sinove Rubenove i Gadove i polovinu plemena Manašeova
Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
2 i reče im: “Izvršili ste sve što vam je Mojsije, sluga Jahvin, zapovjedio i poslušali ste me u svemu što sam vam zapovjedio.
and said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, and have hearkened to my voice in all that I commanded you.
3 Niste ostavili svoje braće unatoč dugom vojevanju do današnjega dana i vršili ste vjerno zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svojega.
Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, and ye have kept the charge of the commandment of Jehovah your God.
4 Sada je Jahve, Bog vaš, dao mir braći vašoj, kako im bijaše obećao. Vratite se sada u svoje šatore, u zemlju koju vam je dao Mojsije, sluga Jahvin, u baštinu s onu stranu Jordana.
And now Jehovah your God hath given rest to your brethren, as he said unto them; and now return, and get you unto your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan.
5 Samo pazite da vršite zapovijedi i Zakon što vam ga dade Mojsije, sluga Jahvin: da ljubite Jahvu, Boga svojega, da uvijek idete putovima njegovim, da čuvate zapovijedi njegove, da se držite uz njega i da mu služite svim srcem i svom dušom.”
Only, take great heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
6 I blagoslovi ih Jošua i otpusti, a oni se zatim vrate u svoje šatore.
And Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their tents.
7 Mojsije bijaše jednoj polovini plemena Manašeova dao baštinu u Bašanu; a drugoj polovini dade je Jošua usred njihove braće zapadno od Jordana. Otpuštajući ih u njihove šatore, Jošua ih blagoslovi.
And to half the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [inheritance] in Bashan, and to the other half thereof had Joshua given among their brethren on this side the Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them also,
8 I reče im: “Vratite se u svoje šatore s velikim blagom i s mnogom stokom, sa srebrom, zlatom, tučem, željezom i haljinama u izobilju i podijelite plijen od neprijatelja svojih s braćom svojom.”
and spoke to them, saying, Return unto your tents with much wealth and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with copper, and with iron, and with clothing, in very great quantity; divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
9 Vratiše se sinovi Rubenovi i sinovi Gadovi i polovina plemena Manašeova; odoše od sinova Izraelovih iz Šila u zemlji kanaanskoj da krenu u zemlju gileadsku, na svoju baštinu koju su zaposjeli, kako im je zapovjedio Jahve preko Mojsija.
And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the country of Gilead, into the land of their possession, of which they had become possessed, according to the word of Jehovah through Moses.
10 Kad su stigli do jordanskog područja u zemlji kanaanskoj, podigoše sinovi Rubenovi, sinovi Gadovi i polovina plemena Manašeova žrtvenik na Jordanu, žrtvenik velik, izdaleka se vidio.
And they came to the districts of the Jordan that are in the land of Canaan; and the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, an altar of grand appearance.
11 Čuli Izraelci gdje se govori: “Evo, sinovi Rubenovi, sinovi Gadovi i polovina plemena Manašeova podigoše žrtvenik prema zemlji kanaanskoj, kod Jordana, na izraelskoj strani.”
And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the districts of the Jordan, separately from the children of Israel.
12 Na to se skupi sva zajednica sinova Izraelovih u Šilu da pođu u boj na njih.
And when the children of Israel heard [of it], the whole assembly of the children of Israel gathered together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.
13 Izraelci sinovima Rubenovim, sinovima Gadovim i polovini plemena Manašeova u gileadsku zemlju poslaše Pinhasa, sina svećenika Eleazara,
And the children of Israel sent to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
14 i s njime deset knezova, po jednoga rodovskog glavara od svakoga plemena Izraelova, a svaki je od njih bio glavar obitelji među tisućama porodica Izraelovih.
and with him ten princes, of each father's house a prince, out of all the tribes of Israel; and each of them was head of a father's house, of the thousands of Israel.
15 I kad oni dođoše k sinovima Rubenovim, sinovima Gadovim i polovini plemena Manašeova u zemlju gileadsku, rekoše im:
And they came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and spoke with them, saying,
16 “Evo što veli sva zajednica Jahvina: 'Što znači nevjera koju činite protiv Jahve, Boga Izraelova? Zašto se odvrgoste danas od Jahve i, podigavši žrtvenik, zašto se bunite protiv Jahve?
Thus saith the whole assembly of Jehovah: What wickedness is this which ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Jehovah, in that ye have built yourselves an altar, rebelling this day against Jehovah?
17 Zar vam nije dosta zločina iz Peora, od kojega se nismo očistili do dana današnjega i zbog kojega je došao pomor na zajednicu Jahvinu?
Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us? from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the assembly of Jehovah.
18 Ako se danas odvraćate od Jahve i bunite se danas protiv njega, neće li se sutra izliti njegov gnjev na svu zajednicu Izraelovu?
And ye turn away this day from following Jehovah; and it will be, that since ye rebel this day against Jehovah, to-morrow he will be wroth with the whole assembly of Israel.
19 Ili vam je možda zemlja vaše baštine nečista? Onda prijeđite u zemlju baštine Jahvine, u kojoj je Jahvino Prebivalište, i prebivajte među nama. Ali se ne bunite protiv Jahve i ne bunite se protiv nas dižući sebi žrtvenik mimo žrtvenik Jahve, Boga našega.
Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession is unclean, come over into the land of the possession of Jehovah, where Jehovah's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession amongst us; but rebel not against Jehovah, and rebel not against us, in building for yourselves an altar besides the altar of Jehovah our God.
20 Nije li se Akan, Zerahov sin, sam ogriješio o 'herem' te se oborila srdžba na svu zajednicu Izraelovu? Zar nije umro zbog krivice svoje?'”
Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing? and wrath fell on all the assembly of Israel, and he perished not alone in his iniquity.
21 Tada odgovoriše sinovi Rubenovi, sinovi Gadovi i polovina plemena Manašeova govoreći plemenskim glavarima Izraelovim:
And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered and said to the heads of the thousands of Israel,
22 “Bog, Bog Jahve, Bog nad bogovima, Jahve zna i neka zna Izrael: ako je to bila pobuna ili nevjernost prema Jahvi, neka nam uskrati svoju pomoć danas;
The God of gods, Jehovah, the God of gods, Jehovah, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know [it]; if it is in rebellion, or if in trespass against Jehovah, — save us not this day!
23 ako smo podigli žrtvenik da se odvrgnemo od Jahve i da prinosimo žrtve paljenice, prinosnice i žrtve pričesnice, neka nam onda sudi Jahve!
— that we have built for ourselves an altar to turn from following Jehovah, and if it is to offer up burnt-offering and oblation on it, and if to offer peace-offerings thereon, let Jehovah himself require it [from us];
24 Učinismo to od brige i skrbi i rekosmo: 'Jednoga će dana sinovi vaši reći našima: Što vam je zajedničko s Jahvom, Bogom Izraelovim?
and if we have not done it from fear of this thing, saying, In future your children will speak to our children, saying, What have ye to do with Jehovah the God of Israel?
25 Zar nije, sinovi Rubenovi i sinovi Gadovi, postavio Jahve između vas i nas među našu - Jordan? Vi nemate dijela s Jahvom.' I tako bi sinovi vaši mogli učiniti da se sinovi naši odvrate te ne štuju Jahvu.
Jehovah hath made the Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad, ye have no portion in Jehovah! And so shall your children make our children cease from fearing Jehovah.
26 Zato smo rekli: 'Podignimo žrtvenik, ali ne za žrtve paljenice niti za klanice,
And we said, Let us now set to work to build an altar, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice,
27 nego da bude svjedočanstvo između nas i vas, među potomcima našim, da želimo služiti Jahvi paljenicama, klanicama i pričesnicama. Tako da ne mognu jednom vaši sinovi reći našima: Nemate dijela s Jahvom.'
but to be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we might do service to Jehovah before him with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings; that your children may not say to our children in future, Ye have no portion in Jehovah.
28 Ako bi kada tako rekli nama i potomcima našim, mogli bismo odgovoriti: 'Pogledajte slog žrtvenika Jahvina što su ga podigli oci naši ne za žrtve paljenice ni klanice, nego za svjedočanstvo između nas i vas.'
And we said, If it shall be that in future they so say to us and to our generations, we will say, Behold the pattern of the altar of Jehovah which our fathers made, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice, but as a witness between us and you.
29 Nije nam ni na kraj pameti pomisao da se bunimo protiv Jahve i da se odvraćamo od njega dižući žrtvenik za žrtve paljenice, prinosnice i klanice, mimo žrtvenik Jahve, Boga našega, koji je pred njegovim Prebivalištem!”
Far be it from us that we should rebel against Jehovah, and turn this day from following Jehovah, in building an altar for burnt-offering, for oblation, and for sacrifice, besides the altar of Jehovah our God that is before his tabernacle.
30 Kad svećenik Pinhas, knezovi zbora i glavari izraelskih plemena koji su bili s njim čuše riječi koje im rekoše sinovi Gadovi, sinovi Rubenovi i sinovi Manašeovi, umiriše se.
And when Phinehas the priest and the princes of the assembly and the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it was good in their sight.
31 Tada svećenik Pinhas, sin Eleazarov, odgovori sinovima Rubenovim, sinovima Gadovim i sinovima Manašeovim: “Spoznali smo sada da je Jahve među nama, jer mu se niste iznevjerili: tako ste sačuvali sinove Izraelove od kazne Jahvine.”
And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that Jehovah is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against Jehovah: now have ye delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah.
32 Svećenik Pinhas, sin Eleazarov, i knezovi odoše od sinova Rubenovih i sinova Gadovih i vratiše se iz zemlje gileadske u kanaansku k sinovima Izraelovim i kazaše im odgovor.
And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
33 Izraelovim sinovima bijaše drag taj odgovor: hvalili su Boga i odustali su od nauma da udare na njih i da opustoše zemlju u kojoj su živjeli sinovi Rubenovi i sinovi Gadovi.
And the thing was good in the sight of the children of Israel, and the children of Israel blessed God, and no more said that they would go up in warfare against them, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad dwelt.
34 Sinovi Rubenovi i sinovi Gadovi nazvali su žrtvenik “Ed” - “Svjedočanstvo”, jer rekoše: “To je svjedočanstvo među nama: Jahve je Bog.”
And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad gave a name to the altar; for it is a witness between us that Jehovah is God.
