Joshua 2

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Biblija Hrvatski
1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent two men secretly from Shittim as spies, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho." And they went, and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lodged there.	1 Jošua, sin Nunov, posla potajno iz Šitima dvojicu uhoda s nalogom: »Idite, izvidite područje, osobito Jerihon.« Oni odu i stignu u kuću bludnice koja se zvala Rahaba i ondje prenoće.
2 And it was told the king of Jericho, "Behold, certain men of Israel have come here tonight to search out the land."	2 To bude javljeno kralju jerihonskom: »Evo, stigoše noćas ovamo neki ljudi od sinova Izraelovih da izvide zemlju.«
3 Then the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring forth the men that have come to you, who entered your house; for they have come to search out all the land."	3 Tada kralj jerihonski poruči Rahabi: »Izvedi ljude koji su došli k tebi, koji su ušli u tvoj dom, jer su došli uhoditi svu zemlju.«
4 But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them; and she said, "True, men came to me, but I did not know where they came from;	4 Ali žena uze ona dva čovjeka, sakri ih i reče: »Istina, ti su ljudi došli k meni, ali ja nisam znala odakle su.
5 and when the gate was to be closed, at dark, the men went out; where the men went I do not know; pursue them quickly, for you will overtake them."	5 Kada se u sumrak zatvarahu gradska vrata, oni odoše i ja ne znam kamo su krenuli. Požurite za njima jer ih još možete stići.«
6 But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax which she had laid in order on the roof.	6 A ona ih bijaše izvela na krov i sakrila pod netrveni lan što ga je ondje razastrla.
7 So the men pursued after them on the way to the Jordan as far as the fords; and as soon as the pursuers had gone out, the gate was shut.	7 I požure se ljudi u potjeru za njima, prema Jordanu, sve do prijelaza preko rijeke; a kad je potjera izišla, zatvore se za njima gradska vrata.
8 Before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof,	8 Dok još oni gore ne bijahu zaspali, popne se Rahaba k njima na krov
9 and said to the men, "I know that the LORD has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.	9 i reče im: »Znam da vam je Jahve dao ovu zemlju, jer nas je sve uhvatio strah od vas i prezaju od vas svi žitelji ovoga kraja.
10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.	10 Jer čusmo kako je Jahve isušio vodu Crvenoga mora pred vama kada ste izašli iz Egipta, i ono što ste učinili dvojici kraljeva amorejskih s druge strane Jordana, Sihonu i Ogu, koje pogubiste.
11 And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no courage left in any man, because of you; for the LORD your God is he who is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.	11 Kad smo čuli sve to, zastalo nam srce i nitko da smogne snage da vam se suprotstavi jer Jahve, Bog vaš – on je Bog gore na nebesima i dolje na zemlji.
12 Now then, swear to me by the LORD that as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a sure sign,	12 Zakunite mi se, dakle, Jahvom da ćete i vi učiniti milost domu oca moga, kao što i ja učinih milost vama, i dajte mi pouzdan znak
13 and save alive my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death."	13 da ćete ostaviti na životu moga oca i moju majku, braću moju i sestre moje i sve njihovo i da ćete nas izbaviti od smrti.«
14 And the men said to her, "Our life for yours! If you do not tell this business of ours, then we will deal kindly and faithfully with you when the LORD gives us the land."	14 Odgovoriše joj ljudi: »Životom svojim jamčimo za vas, samo ako nas ne izdate. Kad nam Jahve dade zemlju, iskazat ćemo ti milost i vjernost.«
15 Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was built into the city wall, so that she dwelt in the wall.	15 Rahaba ih zatim spusti po konopu kroz prozor jer joj je kuća bila uz bedem i ona je do bedema stanovala.
16 And she said to them, "Go into the hills, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned; then afterward you may go your way."	16 Još im reče: »Pođite prema gori da vas potjera ne nađe i krijte se ondje tri dana dok se progonitelji ne vrate, a onda idite svojim putem.«
17 The men said to her, "We will be guiltless with respect to this oath of yours which you have made us swear.	17 Ljudi joj odgovore: »Evo, ovako ćemo ti ispuniti zakletvu kojom si nas zaklela:
18 Behold, when we come into the land, you shall bind this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down; and you shall gather into your house your father and mother, your brothers, and all your father's household.	18 kad uđemo u zemlju, posluži se ovim znakom: priveži ovu crvenu vrpcu za prozor kroz koji nas spuštaš i sakupi kod sebe, u kući, svoga oca, i svoju majku, i svoju braću, i svu svoju rodbinu.
19 If any one goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we shall be guiltless; but if a hand is laid upon any one who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head.	19 Tko god od vas stupi van preko praga tvoje kuće, krv njegova na glavu njegovu: nije krivnja na nama – sam je krivac svojoj smrti; a tko ostane s tobom u kući, krv njegova neka padne na glave naše – mi ćemo biti krivci ako ga se tko rukom dotakne.
20 But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless with respect to your oath which you have made us swear."	20 Ako pak izdaš ovu našu stvar, slobodni smo od zakletve kojom si nas zaklela.«
21 And she said, "According to your words, so be it." Then she sent them away, and they departed; and she bound the scarlet cord in the window.	21 A ona odgovori: »Neka bude kako rekoste!« Tada ih pusti i oni odoše, a ona zaveza na prozor crvenu vrpcu.
22 They departed, and went into the hills, and remained there three days, until the pursuers returned; for the pursuers had made search all along the way and found nothing.	22 Oni odoše i dođoše u goru i ondje ostadoše tri dana dok se ne vrati potjera; tražila ih je potjera na svim putovima, ali ih nije nigdje našla.
23 Then the two men came down again from the hills, and passed over and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them.	23 Tada se vrate i one dvije uhode: siđu s gore, prijeđu preko rijeke i dođu k Jošui, sinu Nunovu, te ga izvijeste o svemu što im se dogodilo.
24 And they said to Joshua, "Truly the LORD has given all the land into our hands; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of us."	24 I rekoše Jošui: »Jahve nam je svu tu krajinu predao u ruke; sve je njezine stanovnike uhvatio strah pred nama.«
