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.
Potom sabra Isus sva plemena Izrailjeva u Sihem, i sazva starješine Izrailjeve i poglavare njegove i sudije njegove i upravitelje njegove, i stadoše pred Bogom.
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 reèe Isus svemu narodu: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: s onu stranu rijeke živješe negda oci vaši, Tara otac Avramov i otac Nahorov, i služiše drugim bogovima.
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.
Ali uzeh oca vašega Avrama ispreko rijeke i provedoh ga kroz svu zemlju Hanansku i umnožih sjeme njegovo davši mu Isaka.
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 Isaku dadoh Jakova i Isava, i dadoh Isavu goru Sir da je njegova; a Jakov i sinovi njegovi sidoše u Misir.
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 poslah Mojsija i Arona, i muèih Misir, kako uèinih usred njega, potom vas izvedoh.
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 kad izvedoh iz Misira oce vaše, doðoše na more, a Misirci gnaše oce vaše s kolima i s konjicima do Crvenoga Mora.
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.
Tada zavapiše ka Gospodu, i postavih tamu izmeðu vas i Misiraca, i navedoh na njih more koje ih zatrpa, i oèi vaše vidješe šta uèinih od Misiraca; potom ostaste u pustinji dugo vremena.
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].
Iza toga dovedoh vas u zemlju Amoreja koji življahu s onu stranu Jordana; i oni se pobiše s vama, ali ih dadoh vama u ruke, te naslijediste zemlju njihovu, i istrijebih ih ispred vas.
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.
A Valak sin Seforov car Moavski podiže se da se bije s Izrailjem, i posla te dozva Valama sina Veorova da vas prokune.
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].
Ali ne htjeh poslušati Valama, te vas on još blagoslovi, i izbavih vas iz ruke njegove.
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.
Potom prijeðoste preko Jordana, i doðoste pod Jerihon, i biše se s vama Jerihonjani, Amoreji i Ferezeji i Hananeji i Heteji i Gergeseji i Jeveji i Jevuseji; i dadoh ih vama u ruke.
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].
I poslah pred vama stršljene, koji ih izagnaše ispred vas, dva cara Amorejska; ne maèem tvojim ni lukom tvojim.
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.’”
I dadoh vam zemlju, koje ne radiste, i gradove, kojih ne gradiste, i u njima živite; iz vinograda i iz maslinika, kojih nijeste sadili, jedete.
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.
Zato sada bojte se Gospoda i služite mu vjerno i istinito; i povrzite bogove, kojima su služili oci vaši s onu stranu rijeke i u Misiru, pa služite Gospodu.
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!”
Ako li vam nije drago služiti Gospodu, izberite sebi danas kome æete služiti: ili bogove kojima su služili oci vaši s onu stranu rijeke, ili bogove Amoreja u kojih zemlji živite; a ja i dom moj služiæemo Gospodu.
16 The Israeli people answered, “We will never quit [serving/worshiping] Yahweh! We would never [think of] [IDM] serving/worshiping other gods!
A narod odgovori i reèe: ne daj Bože da ostavimo Gospoda da služimo drugim bogovima.
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.
Jer Gospod Bog naš, on je izveo nas i oce naše iz zemlje Misirske, iz doma ropskoga, i on je uèinio pred našim oèima one znake velike, i èuvao nas cijelijem putem kojim idosmo, i po svijem narodima kroz koje proðosmo.
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.”
I Gospod je istjerao ispred nas sve narode i Amoreje, koji življahu u ovoj zemlji; i mi æemo služiti Gospodu, jer je Bog naš.
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].
A Isus reèe narodu: ne možete služiti Gospodu, jer je svet Bog, Bog revnitelj, neæe podnositi vaše nevjere i vaših grijeha.
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!”
Kad ostavite Gospoda i stanete služiti tuðim bogovima, okrenuæe se i zlo æe vam uèiniti, i istrijebiæe vas, pošto vam je dobro èinio.
21 But the people replied to Joshua, “No, [we will not turn away from worshiping/serving Yahweh] We will serve/worship Yahweh!”
A narod reèe Isusu: ne, nego æemo Gospodu služiti.
22 Then Joshua said, “You yourselves are saying that you have decided to serve/worship Yahweh.” They replied, “Yes, we are saying that.”
A Isus reèe narodu: sami ste sebi svjedoci da ste izabrali sebi Gospoda da mu služite. I oni rekoše: svjedoci smo.
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].”
Povrzite dakle bogove tuðe što su meðu vama, i privijte srce svoje ka Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevu.
24 The people replied, “We will serve/worship Yahweh, our God, and obey him.”
A narod reèe Isusu: Gospodu Bogu svojemu služiæemo i glas njegov slušaæemo.
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.
Tako uèini Isus zavjet s narodom onaj dan i postavi im uredbe i zakone u Sihemu.
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.
I zapisa Isus ove rijeèi u knjigu zakona Božijega; i uzevši kamen velik podiže ga ondje pod hrastom koji bijaše kod svetinje Gospodnje.
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 reèe Isus svemu narodu: evo, kamen ovaj neka vam bude svjedoèanstvo; jer je èuo sve rijeèi Gospodnje, koje nam je govorio; i neka vam bude svjedoèanstvo da ne biste slagali Bogu svojemu.
28 Then Joshua sent the people away, and all of them returned to their own areas/homes.
Potom raspusti Isus narod, svakoga na njegovo našljedstvo.
29 Some time after that, Nun’s son Joshua, the faithful servant of Yahweh, died. He was 110 years old when he died.
A poslije ovijeh stvari umrije Isus sin Navin sluga Gospodnji, kad mu bijaše sto i deset godina.
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.
I pogreboše ga u meðama našljedstva njegova u Tamnat-Sarahu, koji je u gori Jefremovoj sa sjevera gori Gasu.
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 služi Izrailj Gospodu svega vijeka Isusova i svega vijeka starješina, koje dugo živješe iza Isusa i koje znahu sva djela Gospodnja, koja uèini Izrailju.
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.
I kosti Josifove, koje donesoše sinovi Izrailjevi iz Misira, pogreboše u Sihemu, u dijelu polja koje je kupio Jakov od sinova Emora oca Sihemova za sto novaca; i biše u sinova Josifovijeh u našljedstvu njihovu.
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.
I Eleazar sin Aronov umrije, i pogreboše ga na brdu Finesa sina njegova, koje mu bješe dano u gori Jefremovoj.
