< Joshua 24 >

1 [Many years later], Joshua summoned representatives of all the tribes of Israel. He gathered together the elders, the leaders, the judges, and the other officials at Shechem [city]. He told them to listen to what God wanted to tell them.
Shromáždil pak Jozue všecka pokolení Izraelská v Sichem a svolal starší Izraelské a přední z nich, i soudce a správce jejich, i postavili se před oblíčejem Božím.
2 Joshua said to all of them, “This is what Yahweh, the God we Israeli people worship, is saying: ‘Long ago, your ancestors, including Abraham’s father Terah and Abraham’s younger brother Nahor, lived on the east side of the Euphrates River.
I řekl Jozue všemu lidu: Toto praví Hospodin Bůh Izraelský: Za řekou bydlili otcové vaši za starodávna, jmenovitě Táre, otec Abrahamův a otec Náchorův, a sloužili bohům cizím.
3 But I took your ancestor Abraham from that land east of the Euphrates River, and I led him as he lived in various places in this land of Canaan, and I enabled him to have many descendants. First, I enabled him to have a son, Isaac.
I vzal jsem otce vašeho Abrahama z místa, kteréž jest za řekou, a provedl jsem jej skrze všecku zemi Kananejskou, a rozmnožil jsem símě jeho, dav jemu Izáka.
4 When Isaac grew up, I enabled him to have twin sons, Jacob and Esau. I enabled Esau to live in the hilly area in Seir region, but many years later Jacob and his sons and their families went down to live in Egypt.
A Izákovi dal jsem Jákoba a Ezau. I dal jsem Ezau horu Seir, aby vládl jí; Jákob pak a synové jeho sstoupili do Egypta.
5 “[Many years later], I sent Moses and his older brother Aaron to help your people, and I caused [the people of] Egypt to suffer very much because of what I did there. Then I enabled your ancestors to leave Egypt.
I poslal jsem Mojžíše a Arona, a zbil jsem Egypt, a když jsem to učinil u prostřed něho, potom vyvedl jsem vás.
6 When I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, they came to the Red Sea. The Egyptian army pursued them, some riding in chariots and others on horses, and they also arrived at the Red Sea.
A vyvedl jsem otce vaše z Egypta, i přišli jste k moři, a honili Egyptští otce vaše s vozy a jezdci až k moři Rudému.
7 Then [your ancestors] pleaded with me to help them. So he caused (darkness/a very dark cloud) to come between your ancestors and the Egyptian army, so that the Egyptian army could not see your ancestors. I separated the water in the Red Sea so that your ancestors could cross it, but when the Egyptian army tried to cross in the same way to pursue them, I caused the water to come back and cover them, and the Egyptian soldiers all drowned, as your ancestors watched and were amazed [IDM]. But after that, you lived in the desert for many years.
Tedy volali k Hospodinu, kterýž postavil mrákotu mezi vámi a Egyptskými, a uvedl na ně moře, i zatopilo je; anobrž viděly oči vaše i to, co jsem učinil při Egyptu, a bydlili jste na poušti za dlouhý čas.
8 “Then I brought your [ancestors] to the area where the groups who were descendants of Amor lived, east of the Jordan River. They fought against you, but I enabled you to defeat them [IDM]. I [enabled you to] destroy them so that you could live in their land [IDM].
Potom uvedl jsem vás do země Amorejského, kterýž bydlil za Jordánem, a bojovali s vámi; i dal jsem je v ruku vaši, a opanovali jste zemi jejich, a zahladil jsem je před tváří vaší.
9 Then, Zippor’s son Balak, the King of Moab, (decided that his army would fight against/opposed) the Israelis. He summoned Beor’s son Balaam and asked him to curse you.
Povstal pak Balák syn Seforův, král Moábský, a bojoval s Izraelem; i poslav, povolal Baláma syna Beorova, aby zlořečil vám.
10 But I would not do what Balaam asked, so he (blessed/said that I would do great things for) you four times, and I did not enable the army of Moab to defeat you [IDM].
Ale nechtěl jsem slyšeti Baláma, pročež stále dobrořečil vám, a tak vysvobodil jsem vás z ruky jeho.
11 “Then you all crossed the Jordan River and came to Jericho. The people of Jericho prepared to fight against you, [and the armies of] the descendants of Amor, Periz, Canaan, Heth, Girgash, Hiv, and Jebus [all prepared to do the same thing] but I enabled you to defeat [IDM] them all.
A když jste přešli Jordán, přišli jste k Jerichu; i bojovali proti vám muži Jericha, Amorejští, a Ferezejští, a Kananejští, a Hetejští, a Gergezejští, a Hevejští, a Jebuzejští, a dal jsem je v ruku vaši.
12 I am the one who caused them to panic as you advanced and enabled you to defeat them, as I had enabled you to do earlier to the two kings of the groups who were descendants of Amor. You did not defeat them by using your own bows and arrows and swords; [it was I who defeated them].
Poslal jsem před vámi i sršně, kteřížto vyhnali je od tváři vaší, dva krále Amorejské; ne mečem ani lučištěm svým tys je vyhnal.
13 So I gave you a land that you had not tilled/planted, and I gave you cities that you did not build. [Now] you live in those [cities] and you eat the grapes from the grapevines that you did not plant, and you eat olives from trees that you did not plant.’”
A dal jsem vám zemi, v níž jste nepracovali, a města, kterýchž jste nestavěli, v nichž bydlíte; vinic a olivoví, kteréhož jste neštípili, užíváte.
14 [Then Joshua said to the people], “[Because of all that] Yahweh [has done for you], revere him, and serve/worship him very faithfully. Throw away the idols that your ancestors worshiped on the east/other side of the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Serve only Yahweh.
Protož nyní bojte se Hospodina, a služte jemu v dokonalosti a v pravdě, a odvrzte bohy, jimž sloužili otcové vaši za řekou a v Egyptě, a služte Hospodinu.
15 But if you do not want to serve/worship Yahweh, you should decide today what [gods] you will serve/worship. You should decide whether you will serve/worship the gods that your ancestors who lived on the other/east side of the Euphrates River served, or whether you will serve/worship the gods that the descendants of Amor, who previously lived in the land where you are now living, [serve/worship]. But as for me and my family [MTY], we will serve/worship Yahweh!”
Pakli se vám zdá zle sloužiti Hospodinu, vyvolte sobě dnes, komu byste sloužili, buď bohy, jimž sloužili otcové vaši, kteříž byli za řekou, buď bohy Amorejských, v jichž zemi bydlíte; jáť pak a dům můj sloužiti budeme Hospodinu.
16 The Israeli people answered, “We will never quit [serving/worshiping] Yahweh! We would never [think of] [IDM] serving/worshiping other gods!
Jemuž odpověděl lid, řka: Odstup to od nás, abychom opustiti měli Hospodina a sloužiti bohům cizím.
17 It was our God, Yahweh, who brought our parents and grandparents up out of Egypt. [He rescued them] from that land where they were slaves. As he rescued them, they saw him perform great miracles. He protected them all the time when they were traveling. He protected them from all the people-groups through whose territory they traveled.
Nebo Hospodin Bůh náš onť jest, kterýž vyvedl nás i otce naše z země Egyptské, z domu služebnosti, a kterýž činil před očima našima znamení ta veliká, a choval nás na vší cestě, po níž jsme šli, a mezi všemi národy, skrze něž jsme prošli.
18 As our forefathers advanced, Yahweh expelled the descendants of Amor and the other people-groups who lived in this land. Yahweh is our God, so [we are saying that] we also will serve/worship him.”
A vypudil Hospodin všecky národy, zvláště Amorejského, obyvatele země této, před tváří naší; my také sloužiti budeme Hospodinu, nebo on jest Bůh náš.
19 Joshua replied to the people, “[I think that] you are not able to serve/worship Yahweh, because he is a holy God. He will not forgive your sinning and rebelling [against him]. He demands that you serve/worship only him [IDM].
I řekl Jozue lidu: Nebudete moci sloužiti Hospodinu, nebo Bůh svatý jest, Bůh silný horlivý jest, nesnese nepravostí vašich a hříchů vašich.
20 He has been good to you [in the past], but if you turn away from him and serve/worship foreign/other gods, he will turn [against you] and he will cause you to experience disasters. He will punish [IDM] you severely!”
Jestliže byste opustíce Hospodina, sloužili bohům cizozemců, obrátí se a zle učiní vám, a zkazí vás, poněvadž prvé dobře učinil vám.
21 But the people replied to Joshua, “No, [we will not turn away from worshiping/serving Yahweh] We will serve/worship Yahweh!”
Jemuž odpověděl lid: Nikoli, ale Hospodinu sloužiti budeme.
22 Then Joshua said, “You yourselves are saying that you have decided to serve/worship Yahweh.” They replied, “Yes, we are saying that.”
I řekl Jozue lidu: Svědkové budete sami proti sobě, že jste sobě vyvolili Hospodina, abyste jemu sloužili. Tedy odpověděli: Svědkové jsme.
23 Then Joshua said, “Since [you have decided] that, you must throw away all the other gods/idols that you have among you. You must also promise that you will wholeheartedly give yourselves to Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [serve/worship].”
Jimž on řekl: Odvrztež tedy nyní bohy cizozemců, kteříž jsou u prostřed vás, a nakloňte srdcí svých k Hospodinu Bohu Izraelskému.
24 The people replied, “We will serve/worship Yahweh, our God, and obey him.”
Odpověděl lid Jozue: Hospodinu Bohu našemu sloužiti a hlasu jeho poslouchati budeme.
25 That day, Joshua established an agreement between the people and Yahweh. He wrote for them all the laws that they were required to obey.
A tak učinil Jozue toho dne smlouvu s lidem, a předložil jim ustanovení a soudy v Sichem.
26 He wrote all those laws on a scroll. He called it ‘The laws of God’. Then he [told some men to] set up a large stone there at Shechem, under the [large] oak tree near the place where [they worshiped] Yahweh.
A zapsal Jozue slova ta do knihy zákona Božího; vzav také kámen veliký, postavil jej tu pod dubem, kterýž byl u svatyně Hospodinovy.
27 He said to all the people, “Look! [It is as though] this stone has heard everything that Yahweh said to you [and that you promised Yahweh]. It will serve as a witness against you if you rebel against your God!”
I řekl Jozue všemu lidu: Aj, kámen tento bude mezi námi na svědectví, nebo on slyšel všecka slova Hospodinova, kteráž mluvil s námi, a bude na svědectví proti vám, abyste snad neklamali proti Bohu svému.
28 Then Joshua sent the people away, and all of them returned to their own areas/homes.
A rozpustil Jozue lid, jednoho každého do dědictví jeho.
29 Some time after that, Nun’s son Joshua, the faithful servant of Yahweh, died. He was 110 years old when he died.
I stalo se po vykonání těch věcí, že umřel Jozue syn Nun, služebník Hospodinův, jsa ve stu a desíti letech.
30 The Israeli people buried his body on his own property in Timnath-Serah [town] town. It is north of Gaash Mountain in the hilly area of the tribe who were descendants of Ephraim.
A pochovali ho v krajině dědictví jeho, v Tamnatsáre, kteréž jest na hoře Efraim k straně půlnoční hory Gás.
31 The Israeli people served/worshiped Yahweh as long as Joshua was alive. After Joshua died, they continued serving/worshiping Yahweh while the elders who had experienced everything that Yahweh had done for the Israeli people were still alive.
I sloužil Izrael Hospodinu po všecky dny Jozue, i po všecky dny starších, kteříž dlouho živi byli po Jozue, a kteříž povědomi byli všech skutků Hospodinových, kteréž učinil Izraelovi.
32 Joseph’s bones, which the Israeli people had brought with them from Egypt, were also buried at Shechem. The people buried them in the piece of land that Jacob had bought long ago for 100 pieces of silver from Hamor, the father of Shechem. That piece of land was in the area that was given to the people who were descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, Joseph’s sons.
Kosti pak Jozefovy, kteréž byli vynesli synové Izraelští z Egypta, pochovali v Sichem, v dílu pole, kteréž koupil Jákob od synů Emora otce Sichemova za sto peněz; i byly u synů Jozefových v dědictví jejich.
33 Eleazar, the Supreme Priest, the son of Aaron, also died. They buried his body at Gibeah, in the area that had been given to Eleazar’s son Phinehas, in the hilly area that belonged to the people who were descendants of Ephraim.
Eleazar také, syn Aronův, umřel, a pochovali jej na pahrbku Fínesa syna jeho, kterýž dán byl jemu na hoře Efraim.
