Joshua 9
1 And it came to pass when all the kings which were beyond Jordan, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and on all the shore of the great sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;
А кад то чуше сви цареви који беху с ове стране Јордана по брдима и по долинама и по свом брегу великог мора дори до Ливана, Хетејин и Аморејин, Хананејин, Ферезејин, Јевејин и Јевусејин,
2 that they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
Скупише се сви да се сложно бију с Исусом и с Израиљем.
3 But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
А који живљаху у Гаваону чувши шта учини Исус од Јерихона и од Гаја,
4 they also did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wineskins, old and rent and bound up;
Учинише и они превару; јер одоше и начинише се посланици, и узеше старе торбе на своје магарце и старе мехове винске, подеране и искрпљене,
5 and old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and was become mouldy.
И обућу стару и искрпљену на ноге своје, и хаљине старе на се; и сав хлеб што понесоше на пут беше сув и плесњив.
6 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We are come from a far country: now therefore make ye a covenant with us.
И одоше к Исусу у логор у Галгал, и рекоше њему и људима Израиљцима: Дођосмо из далеке земље; хајде ухватите веру с нама.
7 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a covenant with you?
А људи Израиљци рекоше Јевејима: Може бити да седите усред нас, па како ћемо ухватити веру с вама?
8 And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?
Али они рекоше Исусу: Ми смо слуге твоје. А Исус им рече: Ко сте и откуда идете?
9 And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
А они му рекоше: Из земље врло далеке дођоше слуге твоје у име Господа, Бога твог; јер чусмо славу Његову и све што је учинио у Мисиру,
10 and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.
И све што је учинио двојици царева аморејских, који беху с оне стране Јордана, Сиону цару есевонском и Огу цару васанском који беше у Астароту.
11 And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us saying, Take provision in your hand for the journey and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: and now make ye a covenant with us.
И рекоше нам старешине наше и сви становници наше земље говорећи: Узмите погаче на пут, и идите им на сусрет и реците им: Ми смо слуге ваше, хајде ухватите веру с нама.
12 This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and is become mouldy:
Ово је хлеб наш: врућ смо понели на пут од кућа својих кад смо пошли пред вас, а сад ето осушио се и уплесњивио.
13 and these wineskins, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.
А ово су мехови вински: налисмо нове, и ето су се већ подерали; и хаљине наше и обућа наша похаба се од далеког пута.
14 And the men took of their provision, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.
И повероваше људи по погачи, а не упиташе Господа шта ће рећи.
15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.
И Исус учини с њима мир, и зададе им веру да ће их оставити у животу; и заклеше им се кнезови од збора.
16 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.
Али после три дана кад ухватише веру с њима, чуше да су им суседи и да живе усред њих.
17 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
Јер пођоше синови Израиљеви и дођоше у градове њихове трећи дан; а градови им беху: Гаваон и Кефира и Вирот и Киријат-Јарим.
18 And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD, the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
И не побише их синови Израиљеви, јер им се кнезови од збора заклеше Господом Богом Израиљевим. Али сав збор викаше на кнезове.
19 But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD, the God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
Тада сви кнезови рекоше свом збору: Ми смо им се заклели Господом Богом Израиљевим; зато сада не можемо дирати у њих.
20 This we will do to them, and let them live; lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.
Учинимо им то, и оставимо их у животу, да не дође гнев на нас ради заклетве којом им се заклесмо.
21 And the princes said unto them, Let them live: so they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had spoken unto them.
Још им рекоше кнезови: Нека остану у животу, па нека секу дрва и носе воду свом збору како им кнезови казаше.
22 And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?
Потом их дозва Исус и рече им говорећи: Зашто нас преваристе и рекосте: Врло смо далеко од вас, кад ето живите усред нас?
23 Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall never fail to be of you bondmen, both hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
Зато сада да сте проклети и да сте довека робови и да сечете дрва и носите воду за дом Господа Бога мог.
24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; therefore we were sore afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
А они одговорише Исусу и рекоше: Доиста је било јављено слугама твојим како је заповедио Господ Бог твој Мојсију слузи свом да вам да сву ову земљу и да истреби све становнике ове земље испред вас; стога се врло побојасмо за живот свој од вас и учинисмо тако.
25 And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.
А сада ето смо ти у рукама; чини шта мислиш да је добро и право да с нама учиниш.
26 And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
И учини им тако и сачува их од руку синова Израиљевих, те их не побише.
27 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, unto this day, in the place which he should choose.
И одреди их Исус у тај дан да секу дрва и носе воду збору и за олтар Господњи до данашњег дана на месту које изабере.
