Второзаконие 8
1 Внимавайте да вършите всичките заповеди, които днес ви заповядвам, за да живеете, да се умножите и да влезете да завладеете земята, за която се е клел Господ на бащите ви.
“You must faithfully obey all the commandments that I am giving you today. If you do that, you will live [a long time], you will become very numerous, and you will occupy the land that Yahweh solemnly promised your ancestors that he would give [to you].
2 И да помниш целия път, по който Господ твоят Бог те е водил през тия четиридесет години из пустинята, за да те смири и да те изпита, за да узнае що има в сърцето ти, дали ще пазиш заповедите Му, или не.
And do not forget how Yahweh our God led us as we traveled through the desert during these past 40 years. He [caused you to have many problems/difficulties], because he wanted to cause you to realize that you needed to trust him and not yourselves. And he wanted to test you, to find out what you intended to do [IDM], whether you would obey his commandments or not.
3 И те смири, и като те остави да огладнееш, храни те с манна, (която беше храна непозната на тебе и непозната на бащите ти), за да те научи, че човек не живее само с хляб, но че човек живее с всяко слово, което излиза из Господната уста.
So he caused you to have/experience difficulties. He allowed you to become hungry. Then he gave you manna [food from heaven], food that you and your ancestors had never eaten before. He did that to teach you that people need food [for their bodies]; but [they also need food for their spirits, which comes from paying attention to] everything that Yahweh says [MTY].
4 Облеклото ти не овехтя на тебе нито ногата ти отече през тия четиридесет години.
During those 40 years [of walking through the desert], our clothes did not wear out and our feet did not swell [from walking a very long way through the desert].
5 Да вземеш, прочее, в съображение в сърцето си, че както човек наказва сина си, така и Господ твоят Бог наказва тебе.
Do not forget that Yahweh our God disciplines us, like parents discipline their children.
6 За това, да пазиш заповедите на Господа твоя Бог, да ходиш в пътищата Му и да се боиш от Него.
“Do obey the commandments of Yahweh our God, and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and revere him.
7 Защото Господ твоят Бог те завежда в добра земя, в земя богата с водни потоци, които извират в долини и планини;
He is about to bring you into a good/fertile land, which has streams which flow down from the hills and pour/flow out of springs in the valleys.
8 в земя богата с жито, ечемик, лозя, смокини и нарове; в земя богата с маслини и мед;
It is a land on which wheat and barley grow, a land where there are fig trees and pomegranates, and a land where there are olive trees and honey.
9 в земя гдето не ще ядеш хляб оскъдно и в който не ще си в нужда от нищо; в земя чиито камъни са желязо, и от чиито планини ще копаеш мед.
It is a land where there will be plenty of food for you, where you will (not lack anything/have everything that you need) [LIT], a land which has iron [ore] in its rocks and from which you can dig copper [ore] from its hills.
10 Ще ядеш и ще се наситиш, и ще благословиш Господа твоя Бог за добрата земя, която ти е дал.
[Every day] you will eat until your stomachs are full, and you will thank Yahweh our God for the fertile/good land that he has given you.
11 Внимавай да не забравиш Господа твоя Бог и да не престъпваш заповедите Му, съдбите Му и повеленията Му, които днес ти заповядвам,
But, [when that happens], be sure not to forget Yahweh our God by disobeying his commandments and rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.
12 да не би, като ядеш и се наситиш и построиш добри къщи и живееш в тях,
When your stomachs are full [every day], and when you have built good houses and are living in them,
13 и като се умножат говедата и овците ти и се умножат среброто ти и златото ти, и се умножи всичко що имаш,
and when the number of your cattle and sheep has greatly increased, and when you have accumulated a large amount of silver and gold, and the amount of all your other possessions has greatly increased,
14 тогава да се надигне сърцето ти и да забравиш Господа твоя Бог, Който те е извел из Египетската земя, из дома на робството;
be sure that you do not become proud [IDM] and forget Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt and brought them out from there.
15 Който те преведе през голямата и страшна пустиня, гдето имаше горителни змии, скорпии и сухи безводни змии; Който ти извади вода из кременливия камък;
Do not forget that he led them [while they traveled] through that huge and terrible desert, where there were poisonous snakes and scorpions. And do not forget that where the ground was very dry and there was no water, he caused water to flow for them out of (solid/very hard) rock.
16 Който те храни в пустинята с манна, храна която не знаеха бащите ти, за да те смири и да те изпита, да ти направи добро в сетнините ти;
Do not forget that in that desert he gave your ancestors manna to eat, food that they had never eaten before. He [caused them to have/experience many problems/difficulties], because he wanted them to realize that they needed to trust him and not themselves. And he wanted to test them, to find out whether they intended to obey him, in order that when [those difficulties] ended, he would do many good things for them.
17 и да не би да речеш в сърцето си: Моята мощ и силата на моята ръка ми спечелиха това богатство.
Be sure that you do not think to yourselves, ‘I have acquired all these things by my own power [MTY] and ability.’
18 Но да помниш Господа твоя Бог, защото Той е, Който ти дава сила да придобиваш богатство; за да утвърди завета, за който се е клел на бащите ти, както прави днес.
Do not forget that it is Yahweh our God who has enabled you to become rich. He does this because he faithfully does what he solemnly promised our ancestors that he would do.
19 Но ако забравиш Господа твоя Бог и отидеш след други богове, служиш им и им се поклониш, заявявам ви днес, че съвсем ще бъдете изтребени.
“solemnly warn you that if you forget Yahweh our God and turn to other gods and start to serve them and worship them, you will certainly be destroyed.
20 Ще бъдете изтребени както народите, които Господ изтребва от пред вас, защото не послушахте гласа на Господа вашия Бог.
If you do not obey Yahweh our God, he will certainly destroy you just like he will destroy the people-groups that you will fight against.”
