¹Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

¹Tedaj pokliče Jozue Rubenske in Gadske in polovico Manasejevega rodu

²And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:

²in jim reče: Ohranili ste vse, kar vam je bil zapovedal Mojzes, hlapec GOSPODOV, in ste poslušali glas moj v vsem, kar sem vam zapovedal.

³Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

³Niste zapustili svojih bratov vse tiste mnoge dni do dandanes, a zvesto ste pazili na zapoved GOSPODA, Boga svojega.

⁴And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.

⁴Ker pa je zdaj pripravil GOSPOD, vaš Bog, pokoj vašim bratom, kakor jim je bil obljubil, zato pojdite sedaj in se vrnite v svoje šatore, v posestva svojega deželo, ki vam jo je dal Mojzes, hlapec GOSPODOV, onostran Jordana.

⁵But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

⁵Samo prizadevajte si skrbno, da izpolnjujete zapoved in postavo, ki vam jo je zapovedal Mojzes, hlapec GOSPODOV: da ljubite GOSPODA, Boga svojega, ter hodite po vseh potih njegovih in hranite zapovedi njegove in se njega oklepate in njemu služite iz vsega srca svojega in z vso dušo svojo.

⁶So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.

⁶In blagoslovil jih je Jozue ter jih odpustil, in šli so k svojim šatorom.

⁷Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them,

⁷Polovici Manasejevega rodu je bil dal Mojzes dediščino v Basanu, a drugi polovici je dal Jozue med njih brati tostran Jordana, proti zahodu. Vrhutega jih je Jozue, ko jih je odpuščal v njih šatore, blagoslovil

⁸And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.

⁸in jim govoril, rekoč: Vrnite se z mnogim blagom v svoje šatore, z jako mnogoštevilno živino, s srebrom, zlatom, bronom in z železom in z mnogimi oblačili; delite plen sovražnikov svojih s svojimi brati.

⁹And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

⁹In vrnili so se sinovi Rubenovi in sinovi Gadovi in polovica Manasejevega rodu, in ko so se odpravili od Izraelovih sinov iz Sila, ki je v deželi Kanaanski, so šli v Gileadsko pokrajino, v svojega posestva deželo, ki so jo bili posedli s poveljem GOSPODOVIM po Mojzesu.

¹⁰And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.

¹⁰In ko pridejo v kraje pri Jordanu, ki so v deželi Kanaanski, zgrade ondi ob Jordanu oltar sinovi Rubenovi in Gadovi in polovica Manasejevega rodu, velik in očiten oltar.

¹¹And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel.

¹¹In zaslišijo sinovi Izraelovi, da se govori: Glej, sinovi Rubenovi in sinovi Gadovi in polovica Manasejevega rodu so zgradili oltar na pročelju Kanaanske dežele, v krajih pri Jordanu, nasprotno Izraelovim sinovom.

¹²And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.

¹²In ko so to slišali, se zbere vsa občina Izraelovih sinov v Silo, da bi šli zoper nje v boj.

¹³And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,

¹³In sinovi Izraelovi pošljejo k Rubenovim in Gadovim sinovom in k polovici Manasejevega rodu v Gileadsko pokrajino Pinehasa, sina Eleazarja duhovnika,

¹⁴And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel.

¹⁴in ž njim deset knezov, po enega kneza očetovske hiše za vsak Izraelov rod; in vsak izmed njih je bil poglavar očetovske hiše med tisoči Izraelovimi.

¹⁵And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,

¹⁵In ko pridejo k Rubenovim in Gadovim sinovom in k polovici Manasejevega rodu v Gileadsko pokrajino, jih ogovore, rekoč:

¹⁶Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?

¹⁶Tako pravi vsa občina GOSPODOVA: Kakšna je to nezvestoba, ki ste jo zagrešili proti Izraelovemu Bogu, ko ste se odvrnili danes, da ne bi hodili za GOSPODOM, in ste si zgradili oltar, upirajoč se danes GOSPODU?

¹⁷Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,

¹⁷Majhna li nam je pregreha s Peorjem, ki se je nismo očistili do današnjega dne in zaradi katere je šiba zadela občino GOSPODOVO,

¹⁸But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.

¹⁸da se odvračate danes, da ne bi šli za GOSPODOM? In zgodi se, ker se danes upirate GOSPODU, da se bo jutri jezil nad vso občino Izraelovo!

¹⁹Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God.

¹⁹Ali če je dežela vašega posestva nečista, preidite v deželo posestva GOSPODOVEGA, kjer je prebivališče GOSPODOVO, in vzemite si last med nami; samo ne bodite uporni GOSPODU in nam s tem, da si gradite oltar razen oltarja GOSPODA, Boga našega.

²⁰Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.

²⁰Ni li se pregrešil Ahan, sin Zerahov, z nezvestobo, ko je vzel od prokletega, in jeza GOSPODOVA je prišla nad vso občino Izraelovo? In on ni poginil sam v svoji pregrehi!

²¹Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,

²¹Nato odgovore Rubenovi in Gadovi sinovi in polovica Manasejevega rodu ter reko poglavarjem tisoč Izraelovih:

²²The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)

²²Bog bogov, Jehova, Bog bogov, Jehova, On ve, in tudi Izrael naj ve: Ako se je storilo v upornosti ali iz nezvestobe proti GOSPODU, ne bodi nam v pomoč danes!

²³That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require it;

²³Ako smo si zgradili oltar z namenom, da se odvrnemo ter ne bomo hodili za GOSPODOM, ali da bomo na njem darovali žgalne in jedilne daritve ali pokladali nanj mirovne žrtve, naj nas kaznuje zato GOSPOD!

²⁴And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?

²⁴Marveč storili smo to v skrbi za dobro stvar, meneč: V prihodnjih časih bi lahko rekli otroci vaši našim otrokom: Kaj vam je do GOSPODA, Boga Izraelovega?

²⁵For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.

²⁵Saj je GOSPOD naredil Jordan v mejo med nami in vami, sinovi Rubenovi in sinovi Gadovi: nimate deleža v GOSPODU! S tem bi vaši otroci odvrnili otroke naše od strahu GOSPODOVEGA.

²⁶Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:

²⁶Zato smo rekli: Dejte, zgradimo si oltar, ne za žgalne žrtve, ne za klalne daritve,

²⁷But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD.

²⁷ampak da bodi priča med nami in vami in za naše rodove za nami, da smemo opravljati GOSPODU službo pred Njim s svojimi žgalnimi, klalnimi in mirovnimi žrtvami, ter da ne smejo vaši otroci reči našim otrokom v prihodnjih časih: Nimate deleža v GOSPODU.

²⁸Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us and you.

²⁸Rekli smo torej: Ako nam tako poreko ali rodovom našim za nami v prihodnjih časih, bomo dejali: Glejte podobščino GOSPODOVEGA oltarja, ki so ga postavili očetje naši, ne za žgalno, ne za klalno daritev, ampak da bodi priča med nami in vami.

²⁹God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.

²⁹Bog ne daj, da bi se uprli zoper GOSPODA in se danes odvrnili, ne hoteč hoditi za GOSPODOM, da si zgradimo oltar za žgalno, jedilno in klalno daritev, razen oltarja GOSPODA, Boga našega, ki je pred njegovim prebivališčem!

³⁰And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them.

³⁰Ko so pa slišali Pinehas duhovnik in knezi občine, poglavarji tisoč Izraelovih, ki so bili ž njim, te besede, ki so jih govorili Rubenovi in Gadovi in Manasejevi sinovi, se jim je dobro videlo.

³¹And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.

³¹In Pinehas, Eleazarjev sin, duhovnik, reče Rubenovim in Gadovim in Manasejevim sinovom: Danes spoznavamo, da je GOSPOD med nami, ker niste zagrešili te nezvestobe zoper GOSPODA. Sedaj ste rešili Izraelove sinove roke GOSPODOVE!

³²And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.

³²Tedaj se vrnejo Pinehas, sin Eleazarja duhovnika, in knezi od Rubenovih in Gadovih sinov iz Gileadske pokrajine v Kanaansko deželo k Izraelovim sinovom in jim prineso poročilo.

³³And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.

³³In stvar se je dobra videla sinovom Izraelovim; in Izraelovi sinovi so hvalili Boga in niso več omenili, da pojdejo zoper nje v boj ugonabljat deželo, ki prebivajo v njej sinovi Rubenovi in sinovi gadovi.In Rubenovi in Gadovi sinovi so imenovali oltar Priča, zakaj „on je priča med nami, da je Jehova Bog“.

³⁴And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God.

³⁴In Rubenovi in Gadovi sinovi so imenovali oltar Priča, zakaj „on je priča med nami, da je Jehova Bog“.
