¹Now it happened after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. that Yahweh spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ servant, saying,

¹A stalo sa po smrti Mojžiša, služobníka Hospodinovho, že takto povedal Hospodin Jozuovi, synovi Núnovmu, sluhovi Mojžišovmu:

²“Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I give to them, even to the children of Israel.

²Mojžiš, môj služobník zomrel; preto teraz vstaň a prejdi cez tento Jordán, ty i všetok tento ľud, do zeme, ktorú im ja dám, synom Izraelovým.

³I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread on, as I told Moses.

³Každé miesto, na ktoré šľapí vaša noha, dal som vám, tak ako som hovoril Mojžišovi,

⁴From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.

⁴všetko od púšte a od tohoto Libanona až po veľkú rieku, po rieku Eufrates; celá zem Hetejov a všetko až po Veľké more, na západe slnka, bude vaším územím.

⁵No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you.

⁵Nikto neobstojí pred tebou po všetky dni tvojho života. Jako som bol s Mojžišom, tak budem s tebou; nezanechám ťa ani ťa neopustím.

⁶“Be strong and courageous; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

⁶Buď silný a pevný, lebo ty rozdelíš tomuto ľudu do dedičstva zem, o ktorej som prisahal ich otcom, že im ju dám.

⁷Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you. Don’t turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.

⁷Len buď silný a pevný veľmi ostríhať, aby si činil všetko podľa celého zákona, ktorý ti prikázal Mojžiš, môj služobník. Neuchýľ sa od neho ani na pravo ani na ľavo, aby si robil múdre a rozumne vo všetkom a všade, kamkoľvek pojdeš.

⁸This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

⁸Neuhne táto kniha zákona od tvojich úst, ale budeš rozmýšľať o nej vodne i vnoci, aby si ostríhal a činil všetko podľa všetkého toho, čo je napísané v nej, lebo vtedy sa ti podarí tvoja cesta, a vtedy budeš robiť múdre a rozumne.

⁹Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed: for Yahweh your God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” is with you wherever you go.”

⁹Lebo veď či som ti neprikázal: Buď silný a pevný! Netras sa ani sa nestrachuj!? Lebo s tebou je Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, vo všetkom a všade, kamkoľvek pojdeš.

¹⁰Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

¹⁰A Jozua prikázal správcom ľudu a povedal:

¹¹“Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare food; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh your God gives you to possess it.’”

¹¹Prejdite stredom tábora a prikážte ľudu povediac: Nachystajte si potravy, lebo po troch dňoch prejdete cez tento Jordán, aby ste vošli ta a zaujali do dedičstva zem, ktorú vám dá Hospodin, váš Bôh, aby ste ju tedy zaujali do dedičstva.

¹²Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, saying,

¹²A Rúbenovcom, Gádovcom a polovici pokolenia Manassesovho povedal Jozua:

¹³“Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, ‘Yahweh your God gives you rest, and will give you this land.

¹³Pamätať na slovo, ktoré vám prikázal Mojžiš, služobník Hospodinov, keď povedal: Hospodin, váš Bôh, vám dal odpočinok dajúc vám túto zem.

¹⁴Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock, shall live in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but you shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them

¹⁴Vaše ženy, vaše deti a váš dobytok zostanú v zemi, ktorú vám dal Mojžiš z tejto strany Jordána a vy pojdete pripravení do boja na druhú stranu pred svojimi bratmi, všetci udatní mužovia silní a pomôžete im,

¹⁵until Yahweh has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which Yahweh your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.’”

¹⁵dokiaľ nedá Hospodin odpočinutia i vašim bratom, ako dal vám, a dokiaľ nezaujmú aj oni do dedičstva zeme, ktorú im dá Hospodin, váš Bôh. Potom sa vrátite do zeme svojho dedičstva a budete ňou vládnuť dedične, zemou, ktorú vám dal Mojžiš, služobník Hospodinov, tuto za Jordánom. na východ slnka.

¹⁶They answered Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

¹⁶Na to odpovedali Jozuovi a riekli: Všetko, čo si nám prikázal, učiníme a pojdeme všade, kamkoľvek nás pošleš.

¹⁷Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may Yahweh your God be with you, as he was with Moses.

¹⁷Všetko tak, ako sme poslúchali Mojžiša, budeme poslúchať i teba, len nech je Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, s tebou, jako bol s Mojžišom.

¹⁸Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn’t listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”

¹⁸Ktokoľvek by sa sprotivil tvojmu rozkazu a neposlúchol by tvojich slov, nech by išlo o čokoľvek, čo by si mu prikázal, zomrie. Len buď silný a pevný.
