Joshua, 1

1. And after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, it happened that the Lord spoke to Joshua, the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and he said to him:

1. Poslije smrti Mojsija, sluge Jahvina, reèe Jahve Jošui, sinu Nunovu, pomoæniku Mojsijevu:

2. “Moses, my servant, has died. Rise up, and cross this Jordan, you and all the people with you, into the land which I will give to the sons of Israel.

2. "Moj je sluga Mojsije umro; zato sada ustani, prijeði preko toga Jordana, ti i sav taj narod, u zemlju koju dajem sinovima Izraelovim.

3. I will deliver to you every place that the step of your foot will tread upon, just as I said to Moses.

3. Svako mjesto na koje stupi vaša noga dajem vam, kao što obeæah Mojsiju.

4. From the desert and from Lebanon, even to the great river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, as far as the great sea opposite the setting of the sun, shall be your border.

4. Od pustinje i od Libanona pa do Velike rijeke, rijeke Eufrata, i sve do Velikog mora na sunèanom zapadu - sve æe to biti vaše podruèje.

5. No one will be able to resist you during all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so will I be with you. I will not leave you, nor will I forsake you.

5. Nitko neæe odoljeti pred tobom u sve dane tvog života; ja æu biti s tobom, kao što sam bio s Mojsijem, i nikada te neæu napustiti niti æu te ostaviti.

6. Be strengthened and be steadfast. For you shall divide by lot, to this people, the land about which I swore to their fathers that I would deliver it to them.

6. Budi odvažan i hrabar jer æeš ti uvesti narod ovaj da primi u baštinu zemlju za koju se zakleh ocima njihovim da æu im je dati.

7. Therefore, be strengthened and be very steadfast, so that you may observe and accomplish the entire law, which Moses, my servant, instructed to you. You may not turn aside from it to the right, nor to the left. So may you understand all that you should do.

7. Samo budi odvažan i hrabar da sve uèiniš vjerno prema naredbama koje ti je dao Mojsije, sluga moj. Ne skreæi od toga ni desno ni lijevo da bi ti bilo sretno sve što poduzmeš.

8. The book of this law shall not depart from your mouth. Instead, you shall meditate upon it, day and night, so that you may observe and do all the things that are written in it. Then you shall direct your way and understand it.

8. Neka knjiga Zakona bude na ustima tvojim: razmišljaj o njoj danju i noæu, kako bi vjerno držao sve što je u njoj napisano: samo æeš tada biti sretan i uspjet æeš u pothvatima. Nisam li ti zapovjedio:

9. Behold, I am instructing you. Be strengthened, and be steadfast. Do not dread, and do not fear. For the Lord your God is with you in all things, wherever you may go.”

9. odvaži se i budi hrabar? Ne boj se i ne strahuj, jer kuda god poðeš, s tobom je Jahve, Bog tvoj."

10. And Joshua instructed the leaders of the people, saying: “Cross through the midst of the camp, and command the people, and say:

10. Tada zapovijedi Jošua glavarima narodnim:

11. ‘Prepare your food supplies. For after the third day, you shall cross the Jordan, and you shall enter so as to possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.’ ”

11. "Proðite kroz tabor i proglasite puku ovu zapovijed: 'Spremite sebi brašnenice jer æete za tri dana prijeæi preko Jordana da biste primili u posjed zemlju koju vam Jahve, Bog vaš, daje u baštinu.'"

12. Likewise, he said to the Reubenites and to the Gadites, and to the one half tribe of Manasseh:

12. Zatim reèe Jošua plemenu Rubenovu i Gadovu i polovini plemena Manašeova:

13. “Remember the words, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, instructed to you, saying: ‘The Lord your God has given you rest, and has given you all the land.’

13. "Sjetite se onoga što vam je zapovjedio Mojsije, sluga Jahvin, kada vam je rekao: 'Jahve, Bog vaš, hoæe da poèinete i daje vam ovu zemlju.

14. Your wives and sons, as well as the cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses delivered to you beyond the Jordan. But as for you, pass over with weapons, before your brothers, all you who are strong of hand, and fight on their behalf,

14. Vaše žene, djeca i stada mogu ostati u zemlji koju vam je dao Mojsije s onu stranu Jordana. Vi pak ratnici, za boj spremni, morate naoružani poæi pred svojom braæom da im pomognete,

15. until the Lord gives rest to your brothers, just as he has given to you, and until they also possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to them. And so shall you be returned to the land of your possession. And you shall live in the land, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to you beyond the Jordan, opposite the rising of the sun.”

15. sve dok Jahve ne dade da poèinu i vaša braæa, kao i vi, i dok ne zaposjednu zemlju koju im daje Jahve, Bog vaš. Tada se možete vratiti u zemlju koja vam pripada i koju vam je dao Jahvin sluga Mojsije, na drugoj strani Jordana, prema istoku sunca.'"

16. And they responded to Joshua, and they said: “All that you have instructed to us, we shall do. And wherever you will send us, we shall go.

16. Oni odgovore Jošui: "Sve što nam zapovjediš, uèinit æemo, i kuda nas god pošalješ, poæi æemo.

17. Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so shall we obey you also. But may the Lord your God be with you, just as he was with Moses.

17. Kao što smo slušali Mojsija, tako æemo se pokoravati i tebi. Samo neka Jahve, Bog tvoj, bude s tobom kao što bijaše s Mojsijem!

18. Whoever will contradict your mouth, and whoever will not obey all of your words, which you will instruct to him, let him die. But may you be strengthened, and may you act manfully.”

18. Tko se god usprotivi tvome glasu i ne posluša tvojih rijeèi u svemu što mu zapovjediš neka bude pogubljen. Samo ti budi odvažan i hrabar!"
