Knjiga Sirahova 46

Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Junak u boju bijaše Jošua, sin Nunov, nasljednik Mojsijev u službi proročkoj, koji valjano zasluži svoje ime i bî veliki izbavitelj izabranog naroda, osvetivši se drskim neprijateljima i uspostavivši Izraela na baštini njegovoj.	1 Valiant in war was Jesus the son of Nave, who was successor of Moses among the prophets, who was great according to his name,
2 Kako li krasan bijaše kad bi digao ruku i mačem zamahnuo protiv gradova!	2 Very great for the saving the elect of God, to overthrow the enemies that rose up against them, that he might get the inheritance for Israel.
3 Tko je ikad imao njegovu odlučnost? On je vodio bojeve Gospodnje.	3 How great glory did he gain when he lifted up his hands, and stretched out swords against the cities?
4 Nije li po njemu sunce zastalo i od jednog dana postala dva?	4 Who before him hath so resisted? for the Lord himself brought the enemies.
5 Jer je prizvao Boga svevišnjega u nevolji kada ga odasvud pritijesniše neprijatelji, i usliša ga veliki Gospod i pusti krupnu i snažnu tuču.	5 Was not the sun stopped in his anger, and one day made as two?
6 Bacio se na narod dušmanski i protivnike pobio na strmini: da bi poznali puci snagu njegova oružja i spoznali da je Gospod protivnik njihov.	6 He called upon the most high Sovereign when the enemies assaulted him on every side, and the great and holy God heard him by hailstones of exceeding great force.
7 I jer je vjerno išao za Svemogućim i u dane Mojsijeve ljubav dokazao – on i Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, koji se opriješe kad se zbor pobunio, odvrativši narod od grijeha i utišavši glasove pobune.	7 He made a violent assault against the nation of his enemies, and in the descent he destroyed the adversaries.
8 Zato je i sačuvao samo ovu dvojicu, od šest stotina tisuća pješaka, da ih uvede u baštinu njihovu, u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko.	8 That the nations might know his power, that it is not easy to fight against God. And he followed the mighty one:
9 Još je Kalebu dao snagu, koja s njime do starosti ostade, te se mogao verati po visinama zemaljskim, koje su baština potomcima njegovim,	9 And in the days of Moses he did a work of mercy, he and Caleb the son of Jephone, in standing against the enemy, and withholding the people from sins, and appeasing the wicked murmuring.
10 da bi spoznao sav Izrael da je dobro ići vjerno za Gospodom.	10 And they two being appointed, were delivered out of the danger from among the number of six hundred thousand men on foot, to bring them into their inheritance, into the land that floweth with milk and honey.
11 I suci, svaki po svom imenu, koji uvijek bijahu srca vjerna i koji se ne odmetnuše od Boga – da je blagoslovljen spomen njihov.	11 And the Lord gave strength also to Caleb, and his strength continued even to his old age, so that he went up to the high places of the land, and his seed obtained it for an inheritance:
12 Neka im kosti procvatu u grobu i neka se imena tih slavnih ljudi pomlade u sinovima njihovim.	12 That all the children of Israel might see, that it is good to obey the holy God.
13 Samuel bijaše miljenik svojemu Gospodu, prorok Gospodnji, on utemelji kraljevstvo i pomaza vladare nad svojim narodom.	13 Then all the judges, every one by name, whose heart was not corrupted: who turned not away from the Lord,
14 Po Zakonu Gospodnjem upravljaše općinom, i Gospod je pohodio Jakova.	14 That their memory might be blessed, and their bones spring up out of their place,
15 Zbog vjernosti njegove priznavahu ga prorokom, u govorima se pokazivaše pouzdan vidjelac.	15 And their name continue for ever, the glory of the holy men remaining unto their children.
16 I on prizva Boga u nevolji kada ga odasvud pritisnuše dušmani prinoseći mliječno janješce.	16 Samuel the prophet of the Lord, the beloved of the Lord his God, established a new government, and anointed princes over his people.
17 Tada zagrmje Gospod s neba i u strašnoj lomljavi začu glas njegov;	17 By the law of the Lord he judged the congregation, and the God of Jacob beheld, and by his fidelity he was proved a prophet.
18 porazio je vođe dušmanske i satro knezove filistejske.	18 And he was known to be faithful in his words, because he saw the God of light:
19 I kad je polazio na počinak vječni, posvjedočio je pred Gospodom i pomazanikom njegovim: »Ni od koga nikad ne uzeh ništa, čak ni potplate obične.« I nitko ga nije optužio.	19 And called upon the name of the Lord Almighty, in fighting against the enemies who beset him on every side, when he offered a lamb without blemish.
20 A kad je usnuo, proreče još jednom i objavi kralju njegov kraj. I ispod zemlje podignu svoj glas proročki da izbriše opačinu s naroda.	20 And the Lord thundered from heaven, and with a great noise made his voice to be heard.
	21 And he crushed the princes of the Tyrians, and all the lords of the Philistines:
	22 And before the time of the end of his life in the world, he protested before the Lord, and his anointed: money, or any thing else, even to a shoe, he had not taken of any man, and no mall did accuse him.
	23 And after this he slept, and he made known to the king, and shewed him the end of his life, and he lifted up his voice from the earth in prophecy to blot out the wickedness of the nation.
