Numbers 32

Rubenovci i Gadovci imađahu mnogo, vrlo mnogo blaga. Opaze, međutim, da je zemlja jazerska i zemlja gileadska pogodna za stočarstvo.

Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;

Zato Gadovci i Rubenovci dođu k Mojsiju, svećeniku Eleazaru i glavarima zajednice pa reknu:

The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,

"Atarot, Dibon, Jazer, Nimra, Hešbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo i Beon -

Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

kraj što ga Jahve osvoji pred izraelskom zajednicom - kraj je pogodan za stočarstvo; a sluge tvoje bave se stočarstvom.

Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

Ako smo stekli blagonaklonost u tvojim očima", nastave, "neka se ovaj kraj dade u posjed tvojim slugama. Ne šalji nas preko Jordana!"

Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.

Mojsije odgovori Gadovcima i Rubenovcima: "Zar da vaša braća idu u rat, a vi da ostanete ovdje?

And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?

Zašto odvraćate srca Izraelaca da ne prijeđu u zemlju koju im je Jahve predao?

And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?

Tako su učinili i vaši očevi kad sam ih poslao iz Kadeš Barnee da izvide zemlju.

Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh–barnea to see the land.

Popeli su se do Eškola i razgledali zemlju, ali su onda ubili srčanost u Izraelcima da ne odu u zemlju koju im je Jahve dao.

For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

Onog dana Jahve planu gnjevom. Zakle se i reče:

And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,

'Ljudi što su izišli iz Egipta, kojima je dvadeset ili više godina, jer me nisu vjerno slijedili, nikad neće vidjeti zemlju što sam je pod zakletvom obećao Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu!'

Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

Jahvu su jedino vjerno slijedili Kenižanin Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, i sin Nunov Jošua.

Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.

Jahve je gnjevom planuo na Izraelce pa ih je pustinjom povlačio četrdeset godina, sve dok ne pomrije sav naraštaj što je u očima Jahvinim zlo postupio.

And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

A sad vi - grešni naraštaj - ustajete namjesto svojih očeva da još povećate srdžbu Jahvinu na Izraela.

And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.

Ako se od njega odvratite, on će još produžiti vaš boravak u pustinji; tako ćete upropastiti sav taj narod."

For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.

Onda se oni primaknu k njemu i reknu: "Mi bismo ovdje podigli torove za svoje blago i gradove za svoju nejačad,

And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

a sami ćemo pograbiti oružje i poći na čelu Izraelaca dok ih ne dovedemo na njihovo mjesto. Naša nejačad neka ostane - zbog stanovništva ove zemlje - u utvrđenim gradovima.

But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

Mi se svojim kućama nećemo vraćati sve dok svaki Izraelac ne zaposjedne svoju baštinu.

We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

S njima nećemo dijeliti svoje posjede s onu stranu Jordana niti dalje, jer će nas zapasti naša baština s ovu stranu, na istok od Jordana."

For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.

Mojsije im reče: "Ako tako uradite, ako pođete pred Jahvom u boj;

And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,

ako vi svi naoružani prijeđete Jordan pred Jahvom dok on ne rastjera ispred sebe svoje neprijatelje:

And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,

tada, kad zemlja bude pokorena Jahvi, vi ćete se moći vratiti. Tako ćete biti oslobođeni odgovornosti prema Jahvi i prema Izraelu, a ova će zemlja postati pred Jahvom vaše vlasništvo.

And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.

Ali ako tako ne uradite, sagriješit ćete protiv Jahve i znajte da će vas stići kazna za vaš grijeh.

But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

Sazidajte, dakle, gradove za svoju nejačad i torove za svoju stoku, ali izvršite što ste obećali."

Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

Gadovci i Rubenovci odgovore Mojsiju: "Tvoje će sluge učiniti kako gospodar naš nalaže.

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

Naša nejačad, naše žene, naša stoka i sve naše blago neka ostanu ondje u gileadskim gradovima,

Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:

a tvoje sluge, svi koji su za boj sposobni, poći će pred Jahvom u boj, kako naš gospodar nalaže."

But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.

Tada za njih Mojsije izda nalog svećeniku Eleazaru, Nunovu sinu Jošui i glavarima obitelji izraelskih plemena.

So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:

I reče im Mojsije: "Ako Gadovci i Rubenovci, svi oni koji nose oružje, s vama prijeđu Jordan da se bore pred Jahvom i zemlja bude pokorena vama, onda im dajte gileadsku zemlju u vlasništvo.

And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:

Ali ako ne prijeđu naoružani s vama, neka dobiju baštinu među vama u zemlji kanaanskoj."

But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

Nato odgovore Gadovci i Rubenovci: "Što je god Jahve rekao tvojim slugama, to ćemo učiniti.

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.

Mi ćemo naoružani prijeći pred Jahvom u zemlju kanaansku, ali neka nam bude posjed naše baštine s ove strane Jordana."

We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.

I tako njima - Gadovcima, Rubenovcima i polovici plemena Manašea, sina Josipova - dadne kraljevstvo amorejskoga kralja Sihona i kraljevstvo bašanskoga kralja Oga, zemlju s gradovima u njihovim granicama, gradove okolne zemlje.

And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.

Gadovci sagrade: Dibon, Atarot i Aroer,

And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

Atrot Šofan, Jazer, Jogbohu,

And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,

Bet Nimru i Bet Haran, utvrđene gradove i torove za stada.

And Beth–nimrah, and Beth–haran, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.

Rubenovci sagrade: Hešbon, Eleale, Kirjatajim,

And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,

Nebo, Baal Meon - nazivi su izmijenjeni - i Šibmu. Oni prozovu svojim imenima gradove koje su oni podigli.

And Nebo, and Baal–meon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.

Sinovi Makira, sina Manašeova, odu u Gilead, osvoje ga i protjeraju Amorejce koji bijahu ondje.

And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.

Mojsije preda Gilead Manašeovu sinu Makiru, i on se u njemu nastani.

And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.

A Manašeov sin Jair ode te zauzme njihova sela pa ih prozva "Jairova sela".

And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havoth–jair.

Potom ode Nobah i zauzme Kenat i njegova područja te ga nazove svojim imenom "Nobah".

And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
