Joshua 23
1 And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies on all sides, that Joshua became old and advanced in years.
A poslije mnogo vremena, pošto Gospod umiri Izrailja od svijeh neprijatelja njegovijeh unaokolo, i Isus bi star i vremenit,
2 And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them, I am old and advanced in years:
Dozva Isus sve sinove Izrailjeve, starješine njihove i poglavare njihove i sudije i upravitelje njihove, i reèe im: ja sam star i vremenit;
3 And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done to all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you.
A vi ste vidjeli sve što je uèinio Gospod Bog vaš svijem ovijem narodima vas radi, jer je Gospod Bog vaš sam vojevao za vas.
4 Behold, I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea westward.
Vidite, razdijelio sam vam ždrijebom ove narode, koji ostaše, u našljedstvo po plemenima vašim od Jordana, sve narode koje istrijebih do velikoga mora na zapad.
5 And the LORD your God, he shall drive them out from before you, and drive them from your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised to you.
I Gospod Bog vaš razagnaæe ih ispred vas i istrijebiæe ih ispred vas, i naslijediæete zemlju njihovu, kao što vam je rekao Gospod Bog vaš.
6 Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside from it to the right hand or to the left;
Zato ukrijepite se dobro da držite i tvorite sve što je napisano u knjizi zakona Mojsijeva, da ne otstupate od njega ni nadesno ni nalijevo,
7 That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves to them:
Da se ne pomješate s tijem narodima što su ostali meðu vama, i da ne pominjete imena bogova njihovijeh, i da se ne kunete njima niti da im služite niti im se klanjate.
8 But hold fast to the LORD your God, as ye have done to this day.
Nego se držite Gospoda Boga svojega, kao što ste èinili do danas.
9 For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you to this day.
Zato je Gospod odagnao ispred vas narode velike i jake, i niko se nije održao pred vama do danas.
10 One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
Jedan èovjek izmeðu vas goniæe tisuæu, jer Gospod Bog vaš vojuje za vas, kao što vam je rekao.
11 Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.
Pazite dakle dobro da ljubite Gospoda Boga svojega.
12 Else if ye do in any way go back, and follow after the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and associate with them, and they with you:
Jer ako se odvratite i pristanete za ostatkom tijeh naroda što su još ostali meðu vama, i s njima se oprijateljite i pomiješate se s njima i oni s vama,
13 Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
Znajte zaista da Gospod Bog vaš neæe više izgoniti tijeh naroda ispred vas, nego æe vam oni postati zamka i mreža, i biè bokovima vašim, i trnje oèima vašim, dokle ne izginete na ovoj dobroj zemlji koju vam je dao Gospod Bog vaš.
14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you; all are come to pass to you, and not one thing hath failed of it.
I evo, ja idem sada kuda ide sve na zemlji; poznajte dakle svijem srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom da nije izostalo ništa od svega dobra što vam je obrekao Gospod Bog vaš, sve vam se navršilo, nije izostalo ništa.
15 Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he hath destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
A kako vam se navršilo svako dobro što vam je obrekao Gospod Bog vaš, tako æe Gospod pustiti na vas sva zla, dokle vas ne istrijebi s ove dobre zemlje, koju vam je dao Gospod Bog vaš,
16 When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given to you.
Ako prestupite zavjet Gospoda Boga svojega koji vam je zapovjedio, i otidete da služite drugim bogovima, i stanete im se klanjati; i raspaliæe se gnjev Gospodnji na vas, i nestaæe vas brzo s te dobre zemlje, koju vam je dao.
