Joshua 2

1 Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men from Shittim secretly, with the purpose of searching out the land, and Jericho. So they went and came to the house of a loose woman of the town, named Rahab, where they took their rest for the night.

A Isus sin Navin posla iz Sitima potajno dvije uhode rekavši im: idite, vidite zemlju i Jerihon. I oni otidoše, i doðoše u kuæu jednoj kurvi, kojoj ime bješe Rava, i poèinuše ondje.

2 And it was said to the king of Jericho, See, some men have come here tonight from the children of Israel with the purpose of searching out the land.

Ali bi javljeno caru Jerihonskom i kazano: evo, ljudi doðoše ovamo noæas izmeðu sinova Izrailjevih da uhode zemlju.

3 Then the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Send out the men who have come to you and are in your house; for they have come with the purpose of searching out all the land.

I posla car Jerihonski k Ravi i poruèi: izvedi ljude koji su došli k tebi i ušli u tvoju kuæu, jer su došli da uhode svu zemlju.

4 And the woman took the two men and put them in a secret place; then she said, Yes, the men came to me, but I had no idea where they came from;

Ali žena uzevši ona dva èovjeka sakri ih; pa reèe: jest istina da su ljudi došli k meni, ali ja ne znah odakle bijahu;

5 And when it was the time for shutting the doors at dark, they went out; I have no idea where the men went: but if you go after them quickly, you will overtake them.

I kad se vrata zatvorahu u sumrak, ljudi izidoše; ne znam kuda otidoše; idite brzo za njima; stignuæete ih.

6 But she had taken them up to the roof, covering them with the stems of flax which she had put out in order there.

A ona ih bješe izvela na krov, i sakrila ih pod lan netrven, koji bijaše razastrla po krovu.

7 So the men went after them on the road to Jordan as far as the river-crossing: and when they had gone out after them, the door into the town was shut.

I ljudi poðoše za njima u potjeru put Jordana do broda; i vrata se zatvoriše kad izide potjera za njima.

8 And before the men went to rest, she came up to them on the roof,

Oni pak još ne bjehu pospali, a ona doðe k njima na krov,

9 And said to them, It is clear to me that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has come on us;

I reèe im: znam da vam je Gospod dao ovu zemlju, jer nas popade strah od vas, i prepali su se od vas svi koji žive u ovoj zemlji.

10 For we have had news of how the Lord made the Red Sea dry before you when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, on the other side of Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you gave up to the curse.

Jer èusmo kako je Gospod osušio pred vama Crveno More kad izidoste iz Misira, i šta ste uèinili od dva cara Amorejska koji bijahu preko Jordana, od Siona i Oga, koje pobiste.

11 And because of this news, our hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in any of us because of you; for the Lord your God is God in heaven on high and here on earth.

I kad to èusmo, rastopi se srce naše, i ni u kome veæ nema junaštva od straha vašega; jer je Gospod, Bog vaš, Bog gore na nebu i dolje na zemlji.

12 So now, will you give me your oath by the Lord, that, because I have been kind to you, you will be kind to my father's house,

Nego sada zakunite mi se Gospodom da æete uèiniti milost domu oca mojega kao što ja vama uèinih milost, i dajte mi znak istinit,

13 And that you will keep safe my father and mother and my brothers and sisters and all they have, so that death may not come on us?

Da æete saèuvati život mojemu ocu i mojoj materi i mojoj braæi i mojim sestrama i svjema njihovijem, i da æete izbaviti duše naše od smrti.

14 And the men said to her, Our life for yours if you keep our business secret; and when the Lord has given us the land, we will keep faith and be kind to you.

A ljudi joj odgovoriše: mi æemo izginuti za vas, ako ne izdate ove naše stvari; i kad nam Gospod da ovu zemlju, uèiniæemo ti milost i vjeru.

15 Then she let them down from the window by a cord, for the house where she was living was on the town wall.

Tada ih ona spusti kroz prozor po konopcu; jer kuæa njezina bješe na zidu gradskom, i ona na zidu nastavaše.

16 And she said to them, Get away into the hill-country, or the men who have gone after you will overtake you; keep yourselves safe there for three days, till the searchers have come back, and then go on your way.

I reèe im: idite u goru da ne naiðe na vas potjera, i ondje se krijte tri dana dokle se ne vrati potjera, pa onda idite svojim putem.

17 And the men said to her, We will only be responsible for this oath which you have made us take,

A ljudi joj rekoše: biæemo prosti od ove tvoje zakletve kojom si nas zaklela;

18 If, when we come into the land, you put this cord of bright red thread in the window from which you let us down; and get your father and mother and your brothers and all your family into the house;

Evo, kad doðemo u zemlju, veži ovu vrvcu od skerleta na prozor, kroz koji si nas spustila, i skupi kod sebe u tu kuæu oca svojega i mater i braæu i sav dom oca svojega.

19 Then if anyone goes out of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, we will not be responsible; but if any damage comes to anyone in the house, his blood will be on our heads.

I ko bi god izašao iz tvoje kuæe, krv njegova neka bude na njegovu glavu, a mi da nijesmo krivi; a ko god bude s tobom u kuæi, krv njegova neka doðe na naše glave, ako ga se ko rukom dotakne.

20 But if you say anything about our business here, then we will be free from the oath you have made us take.

Ali ako izdaš ovu stvar našu, tada æemo biti prosti od tvoje zakletve, kojom si nas zaklela.

21 And she said, Let it be as you say. Then she sent them away, and they went; and she put the bright red cord in the window.

A ona odgovori: kako rekoste tako neka bude. Tada ih pusti, i otidoše; i ona veza vrvcu od skerleta na prozor.

22 And they went into the hill-country and were there three days, till the men who had gone after them had come back; and those who went after them were searching for them everywhere without coming across them.

A oni otišavši doðoše u goru, i ostaše ondje tri dana dokle se ne vrati potjera; jer ih potjera tražaše po svijem putovima, ali ih ne naðe.

23 Then the two men came down from the hill-country and went over and came back to Joshua, the son of Nun; and they gave him a complete account of what had taken place.

I vratiše se ona dva èovjeka, i sišavši s gore prebrodiše i doðoše k Isusu sinu Navinu, i pripovjediše mu sve što im se dogodilo.

24 And they said to Joshua, Truly, the Lord has given all the land into our hands; and all the people of the land have become like water because of us.

I rekoše Isusu: zaista dao nam je Gospod u ruke svu tu zemlju, i svi stanovnici one zemlje uplašili su se od nas.
