Joshua 8
1 Then the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear and do not be troubled: take with you all the fighting-men and go up against Ai: for I have given into your hands the king of Ai and his people and his town and his land:
Iza toga reèe Gospod Isusu: ne boj se i ne plaši se; uzmi sa sobom sav narod što je za boj, pa ustani i idi na Gaj; evo predadoh ti u ruke cara Gajskoga i narod njegov i grad njegov i zemlju njegovu.
2 And you are to do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king: but their goods and their cattle you may take for yourselves: let a secret force be stationed to make a surprise attack on the town from the back.
I uèini s Gajem i carem njegovijem kako si uèinio s Jerihonom i njegovijem carem; ali plijen iz njega i stoku njegovu razgrabite za se. Namjesti zasjedu iza grada.
3 So Joshua and the fighting-men got ready to go up against Ai; and Joshua took thirty thousand men of war, and sent them out by night.
I usta Isus i sav narod što bješe za boj, da idu na Gaj; i izabra Isus trideset tisuæa junaka, i posla ih noæu;
4 And he gave them their orders, saying, Go and take up your position secretly at the back of the town: do not go very far away, and let all of you be ready:
I zapovjedi im govoreæi: gledajte vi koji æete biti u zasjedi iza grada, da ne budete vrlo daleko od grada, nego budite svi gotovi.
5 And I and all the people with me will come near the town, and when they come out against us as they did before, we will go in flight from them;
A ja i sav narod što je sa mnom primaknuæemo se ka gradu; pa kad oni izidu pred nas, mi æemo kao i prije pobjeæi ispred njih.
6 And they will come out after us, till we have got them away from the town; for they will say, They have gone in flight from us as before; so we will go in flight before them;
Te æe oni poæi za nama dokle ih ne odvojimo od grada, jer æe reæi: bježe ispred nas kao i prije. I mi æemo bježati ispred njih.
7 Then you will get up from your secret position and take the town, for the Lord your God will give it up into your hands.
Tada vi izidite iz zasjede i istjerajte iz grada što bude ostalo. Jer æe vam ga dati Gospod Bog vaš u ruke.
8 And when you have taken the town, put fire to it, as the Lord has said: see, I have given you your orders.
A kad uzmete grad, zapalite ga ognjem; po rijeèi Gospodnjoj uèinite. Eto, zapovjedio sam vam.
9 So Joshua sent them out: and they took up a secret position between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua kept with the people that night.
Tako ih posla Isus, i oni otidoše u zasjedu, i stadoše izmeðu Vetilja i Gaja, sa zapada Gaju; a Isus prenoæi onu noæ meðu narodom.
10 And early in the morning Joshua got up, and put the people in order, and he and the chiefs of Israel went up before the people to Ai.
A ujutru usta Isus rano i prebroji narod, pa poðe sa starješinama Izrailjevijem pred narodom na Gaj.
11 And all the fighting-men who were with him went up and came near the town, and took up a position on the north side of Ai facing the town, with a valley between him and the town.
I sva vojska što bješe s njim poðe i primakavši se doðoše prema gradu i stadoše u oko sa sjevera Gaju; a bijaše dolina izmeðu njih i Gaja.
12 And taking about five thousand men, he put them in position for a surprise attack on the west side of Ai, between Beth-el and Ai.
I uze oko pet tisuæa ljudi, i namjesti ih u zasjedu izmeðu Vetilja i Gaja, sa zapada gradu Gaju.
13 So all the people were in their places, the army on the north side of the town and the secret force on the west; and that night Joshua went down into the valley.
I kad se namjesti sav narod, sva vojska, što bijaše sa sjevera gradu i što bijaše u zasjedi sa zapada gradu, izide Isus onu noæ usred doline.
14 Now when the king of Ai saw it, he got up quickly and went out to war against Israel, he and all his people, to the slope going down to the valley; but he had no idea that a secret force was waiting at the back of the town.
I kad to vidje car Gajski, ljudi u gradu pohitješe i uraniše; i izidoše onaj èas u polje pred Izrailja u boj, car i sav narod njegov. A ne znaðaše da ima zasjeda za njim iza grada.
15 Then Joshua and all Israel, acting as if they were overcome before them, went in flight by way of the waste land.
Tada Isus i sav Izrailj, kao da ih pobiše, nagoše bježati k pustinji.
16 And all the people in Ai came together to go after them; and they went after Joshua, moving away from the town.
A oni sazvaše sav narod što bješe u gradu da ih tjeraju. I tjeraše Isusa, i odvojiše se od svoga grada.
17 There was not a man in Ai and Beth-el who did not go out after Israel; and the town was open and unwatched while they went after Israel.
I ne osta niko u Gaju ni u Vetilju da ne poðe za Izrailjem; i ostaviše grad otvoren, i tjerahu Izrailja.
18 And the Lord said to Joshua, Let your spear be stretched out against Ai; for I will give it into your hands. So Joshua took up his spear, stretching it out in the direction of the town.
Tada reèe Gospod Isusu: digni zastavu što ti je u ruci prema Gaju, jer æu ti ga dati u ruke. I podiže Isus zastavu što mu bješe u ruci prema gradu.
19 Then the secret force came quickly from their place, and running forward when they saw his hand stretched out, went into the town and took it, and put fire to it straight away.
A oni što bijahu u zasjedi odmah ustaše sa svojega mjesta, i potrèaše èim on podiže ruku svoju, i uðoše u grad i uzeše ga, i brzo zapališe grad ognjem.
20 Then the men of Ai, looking back, saw the smoke of the town going up to heaven, and were unable to go this way or that: and the people who had gone in flight to the waste land were turned back on those who were coming after them.
A kad se Gajani obazreše, a to dim od grada dizaše se do neba, i ne imahu kuda bježati ni tamo ni amo; a narod koji bježaše u pustinju povrati se na one koji ga tjerahu.
21 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the town had been taken by the surprise attack, and that the smoke of the town had gone up, turning round they overcame the men of Ai.
I Isus i sav Izrailj vidjevši da je zasjeda njihova uzela grad i gdje se diže dim od grada, vratiše se i udariše na Gajane.
22 Then the other force came out of the town against them, so that they were being attacked on this side and on that: and Israel overcame them and let not one of them get away with his life.
A oni iz grada izidoše pred njih, te bijahu meðu Izrailjcima odovud i odonud, i pobiše ih tako da nijedan ne osta živ niti uteèe.
23 But the king of Ai they made prisoner, and took him to Joshua.
A cara Gajskoga uhvatiše živa i dovedoše k Isusu.
24 Then, after the destruction of all the people of Ai in the field and in the waste land where they went after them, and when all the people had been put to death without mercy, all Israel went back to Ai, and put to death all who were in it without mercy.
A kad pobiše Izrailjci sve Gajane u polju, u pustinji, kuda ih goniše, i padoše svi od oštroga maèa, te se istrijebiše, onda se vratiše svi Izrailjci u Gaj, i isjekoše što još bješe u njemu oštrijem maèem.
25 On that day twelve thousand were put to death, men and women, all the people of Ai.
A svijeh što izgiboše onaj dan, i ljudi i žena, bješe dvanaest tisuæa, samijeh Gajana.
26 For Joshua did not take back his hand with the outstretched spear till the destruction of the people of Ai was complete.
I Isus ne spusti ruke svoje, koju bješe podigao sa zastavom, dokle ne pobiše sve stanovnike Gajske.
27 But the cattle and the goods from that town, Israel took for themselves, as the Lord had given orders to Joshua.
Samo stoku i plijen iz grada onoga razgrabiše Izrailjci za se, kao što bješe Gospod zapovjedio Isusu.
28 So Joshua gave Ai to the flames, and made it a waste mass of stones for ever, as it is to this day.
I Isus spali Gaj, i obrati ga u gomilu vjeènu, i u pustoš do današnjega dana.
29 And he put the king of Ai to death, hanging him on a tree till evening: and when the sun went down, Joshua gave them orders to take his body down from the tree, and put it in the public place of the town, covering it with a great mass of stones, which is there to this day.
A cara Gajskoga objesi na drvo i ostavi do veèera; a o zahodu sunèanom zapovijedi Isus te skidoše tijelo njegovo s drveta i baciše pred vrata gradska, i nabacaše na nj veliku gomilu kamenja, koja stoji i danas.
30 Then Joshua put up an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel, in Mount Ebal,
Tada Isus naèini oltar Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevu na gori Evalu,
31 In the way ordered by Moses, the servant of the Lord, as it is recorded in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, untouched by any iron instrument: and on it they made burned offerings and peace-offerings to the Lord.
Kao što bješe zapovjedio Mojsije sluga Gospodnji sinovima Izrailjevim, kao što piše u knjizi zakona Mojsijeva, oltar od cijeloga kamenja, preko kojega nije prevuèeno gvožðe; i prinesoše na njemu žrtve paljenice Gospodu, i prinesoše žrtve zahvalne.
32 And he made there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, writing it before the eyes of the children of Israel.
I prepisa ondje na kamenju zakon Mojsijev, koji je napisao sinovima Izrailjevijem.
33 And all Israel, those who were Israelites by birth, as well as the men from other lands living with them, and their responsible men and their overseers and judges, took their places round the ark, in front of the priests, the Levites, whose work it was to take up the ark of the Lord's agreement; half of them were stationed in front of Mount Gerizim and half in front of Mount Ebal, in agreement with the orders for the blessing of the children of Israel which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had given.
I sav Izrailj i starješine njegove i upravitelji i sudije njegove stadoše s obje strane kovèega, prema sveštenicima Levitima, koji nošahu kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega, i stranac i domorodac; polovina prema gori Garizinu a polovina prema gori Evalu, kao što bješe zapovjedio Mojsije sluga Gospodnji da blagoslovi narod Izrailjev najprije.
34 And after, he gave them all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, as it is all recorded in the book of the law;
I potom proèita sve rijeèi zakona, blagoslov i prokletstvo, sve kako je napisano u knjizi zakona.
35 Reading to all the meeting of Israel, with the women and the children and the men from other lands who were living among them, every word of the orders which Moses had given.
Ne bi ni jedne rijeèi od svega što je Mojsije napisao, koje ne proèita Isus pred svijem zborom Izrailjevim, i ženama i djecom i strancima koji iðahu meðu njima.
