< Ponovljeni zakon 1 >
1 Ovo su riječi što ih je Mojsije upravio svemu Izraelu s onu stranu Jordana - u pustinji, u Arabi nasuprot Sufu, između Parana i Tofela, Labana, Hazerota i Di Zahaba -
These [are] the words which Moses has spoken to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-Zahab.
2 od Horeba do Kadeš Barnee, Seirskom gorom, jedanaest dana hoda.
[It takes] eleven days [to go] from Horeb, the way of Mount Seir, to Kadesh-Barnea.
3 Bilo je to godine četrdesete, prvog dana mjeseca jedanaestoga, kad Mojsije reče Izraelcima sve što mu je Jahve za njih naređivao.
And it comes to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, Moses has spoken to the sons of Israel according to all that YHWH has commanded him concerning them,
4 Pošto je porazio amorejskoga kralja Sihona, koji je živio u Hešbonu, i bašanskoga kralja Oga, koji je živio u Aštarotu i Edreju,
after his striking Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan who is dwelling in Ashtaroth in Edrei.
5 dakle s onu stranu Jordana, u zemlji moapskoj, poče Mojsije razlagati ovaj Zakon. Govoraše on:
Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses has begun to explain this law, saying,
6 “Jahve, Bog naš, reče nam na Horebu: 'Dosta ste boravili na ovome brdu.
“Our God YHWH has spoken to us in Horeb, saying, For you dwell at this mountain long enough;
7 Krenite na put! Idite u gorski kraj Amorejaca i svih njihovih susjeda, u Arabu, u Gorje, u Šefelu i u Negeb, na morsku obalu, u zemlju kanaansku i u Libanon, sve do Velike rijeke, rijeke Eufrata.
turn and journey for yourselves, and go to the mountain of the Amorite, and to all its neighboring places in the plain, in the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the south, and in the haven of the sea, the land of the Canaanite, and of Lebanon, as far as the great river, the Euphrates River;
8 Eto, pred vas stavljam ovu zemlju. Idite, dakle, i zauzmite zemlju za koju se Jahve zakle ocima vašim, Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu, da će je dati njima i njihovu potomstvu poslije njih.'
see, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.
9 Tada sam vam rekao: 'Ne mogu vas voditi sam.
And I speak to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you by myself;
10 Jahve, Bog vaš, toliko vas je razmnožio da vas danas ima kao zvijezda na nebu.
your God YHWH has multiplied you, and behold, today you [are] as the stars of the heavens for multitude;
11 Neka vas Jahve, Bog vaših otaca, umnoži još tisuću puta! Neka vas blagoslivlja kako vam je obećao!
YHWH, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as you [are], one thousand times, and blesses you as He has spoken to you.
12 Ali kako bih ja sam mogao nositi vaš teret, vaše breme i vaše sporove?
How do I bear your pressure, and your burden, and your strife by myself?
13 Izaberite stoga iz svojih plemena ljude pametne, iskusne i ugledne da vam ih postavim za poglavare.'
Provide wise and understanding men for yourselves that are known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads;
14 Vi ste mi odgovorili: 'Dobro je što predlažeš.'
and you answer me and say, The thing which you have spoken [is] good to do.
15 Zato sam uzeo prvake iz vaših plemena, ljude pametne i ugledne, te ih postavio za poglavare: tisućnike, stotnike, pedesetnike, desetnike i vaše plemenske nadglednike.
And I take the heads of your tribes, wise men that are known, and I appoint them [as] heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities for your tribes.
16 U to isto vrijeme naložio sam i vašim sucima: 'Saslušajte svoju braću; sudite pravedno između čovjeka i njegova brata ili pridošlice.
And I command your judges at that time, saying, Listen between your brothers—then you have judged [in] righteousness between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner;
17 U suđenju nemojte biti pristrani; saslušavajte maloga kao i velikoga. Ne bojte se nikoga! TÓa sud je Božji! Ako vam koji slučaj bude pretežak, iznesite ga meni, da ga ja razvidim.'
you do not discern faces in judgment; you hear the little as well as the great; you are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God’s, and the thing which is too hard for you, you bring near to me, and I have heard it.
18 Tako sam vam onda naložio sve što vam je činiti.
And I command you at that time all the things which you do.
19 Krenusmo iz Horeba i, na putu u gorske krajeve Amorejaca, kako nam je naredio Jahve, Bog naš, prijeđosmo svu onu veliku i strašnu pustinju koju ste vidjeli. Stigosmo u Kadeš Barneu.
And we journey from Horeb, and go [through] all that great and fearful wilderness which you have seen, the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as our God YHWH has commanded us, and we come to Kadesh-Barnea.
20 Tada vam rekoh: 'Došli ste u gorski kraj Amorejaca, koji nam Jahve, Bog naš, daje.
And I say to you, You have come to the hill-country of the Amorite, which our God YHWH is giving to us;
21 Eto, Jahve, Bog tvoj, stavio je preda te tu zemlju. Ustaj! Zaposjedni je, kako ti je rekao Jahve, Bog otaca tvojih. Ne boj se! Ne strahuj!'
see, your God YHWH has set the land before you; go up, possess, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you; do not fear, nor be frightened.
22 Svi ste onda došli k meni i rekli: 'Pošaljimo pred sobom ljude da izvide zemlju i jave nam o putu kojim ćemo ići i o gradovima u koje ćemo doći.'
And you come near to me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search the land for us, and they bring us back word [concerning] the way in which we go up into it, and the cities to which we come in;
23 Svidje mi se što rekoste. Zato uzeh dvanaest ljudi između vas, po jednoga iz svakog plemena.
and the thing is good in my eyes, and I take twelve men from you, one man for the tribe.
24 Krenuli su na pogorje, stigli do Eškolske doline te izvidjeli kraj.
And they turn and go up to the hill-country, and come to the Valley of Eshcol, and spy it out,
25 I nabraše plodova one zemlje, donesoše ih k nama i javiše: 'Zemlja koju nam daje Jahve, Bog naš, dobra je.'
and they take in their hand from the fruit of the land, and bring [it] down to us, and bring us back word, and say, The land is good which our God YHWH is giving to us.
26 Ali vi niste htjeli onamo; pobunili ste se protiv naredbe Jahve, Boga svoga.
And you have not been willing to go up, and you provoke the mouth of your God YHWH,
27 Rogoborili ste u svojim šatorima i govorili: 'U svojoj mržnji na nas Jahve nas je izveo iz zemlje egipatske da nas preda u ruke Amorejaca, kako bi nas posve uništili.
and murmur in your tents, and say, In YHWH’s hating us He has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorite—to destroy us;
28 Kamo da idemo? Naša su braća ubila u nama srčanost kad rekoše: Narod je i veći i jači nego mi; gradovi su veliki, i zidine im sežu do nebesa. A vidjeli smo ondje i Anakovce.'
to where are we going up? Our brothers have melted our heart, saying, [The] people [are] greater and taller than we; [the] cities [are] great and fortified up to the heavens, and we have also seen sons of Anakim there.
29 'Ne bojte se!' - rekoh vam. - 'Ne plašite ih se!
And I say to you, Do not be terrified, nor be afraid of them;
30 Jahve, Bog vaš, koji ide pred vama, borit će se za vas kako je to učinio na vaše oči u Egiptu.'
your God YHWH, who is going before you—He fights for you, according to all that He has done with you in Egypt before your eyes,
31 A vidio si, uostalom, i u pustinji, gdje te Jahve, Bog tvoj, cijeloga puta što ste ga prevalili dok ste stigli do ovoga mjesta, nosio kao što čovjek nosi svoga sinčića.
and in the wilderness where you have seen that your God YHWH has carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way which you have gone until your coming to this place.
32 Ali, unatoč tome, vi niste imali pouzdanja u Jahvu, Boga svoga,
And in this thing you are not steadfast in your God YHWH,
33 u onoga koji je na putu išao pred vama da vam potraži mjesto za taborovanje - u ognju obnoć da vam osvijetli put kojim ćete ići, a obdan u oblaku.
who is going before you in the way to search out for you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to show you in the way in which you go, and in a cloud by day.
34 Jahve ču graju vašu i zakle se u svojoj srdžbi:
And YHWH hears the voice of your words, and is angry, and swears, saying,
35 'Ni jedan jedini od ovih ljudi, od ovoga opakog naraštaja, neće vidjeti ove dobre zemlje za koju sam se zakleo da ću je dati vašim ocima.
Not one of these men of this evil generation sees the good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers,
36 Izuzimam Kaleba, sina Jefuneova. On će je vidjeti; njemu i njegovim potomcima dat ću zemlju kojom je išao, jer je vjerno slijedio Jahvu.'
except Caleb son of Jephunneh—he sees it, and to him I give the land on which he has trodden, and to his sons, because that he has been fully after YHWH.
37 Zbog vas se Jahve i na mene razljutio te mi rekao: 'Ni ti onamo nećeš ući.
Moreover, YHWH has been angry with me for your sake, saying, Indeed, you do not go in there;
38 Ući će onamo Jošua, sin Nunov, koji te služi. Njega ti osokoli, jer će on uvesti Izraela u posjed.
Joshua son of Nun, who is standing before you, he goes in there; strengthen him, for he causes Israel to inherit [it].
39 A i vaši mališani, o kojima rekoste da će postati roblje, sinovi vaši koji još ne znaju razlikovati dobro i zlo, oni će u nju ući; njima ću je u posjed dati.
And your infants, of whom you have said, They are for a prey, and your sons who today have not known good and evil, they go in there, and I give it to them, and they possess it;
40 A vi se okrenite i zaputite u pustinju, prema Crvenome moru!'
but you, turn and journey for yourselves toward the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea.
41 Vi ste mi tada odgovorili riječima: 'Sagriješili smo protiv Jahve. Poći ćemo gore i boriti se kako nam je Jahve, Bog naš, zapovjedio.' Svaki od vas dohvati svoje oružje i nepromišljeno pođe gore u brda.
And you answer and say to me, We have sinned against YHWH; we go up and we have fought, according to all that which our God YHWH has commanded us; and you each gird on his weapons of war, and you are ready to go up into the hill-country;
42 Onda mi Jahve reče: 'Kaži im: Ne idite gore i ne stupajte u borbu da vas ne poraze vaši neprijatelji jer ja nisam među vama.'
and YHWH says to me, Say to them, You do not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, and you are not struck before your enemies.
43 Tako sam vam i govorio, ali niste poslušali. Oprli ste se zapovijedi Jahvinoj i, puni drskosti, krenuli u brda.
And I speak to you, and you have not listened, and provoke the mouth of YHWH, and act proudly, and go up into the hill-country;
44 Ali Amorejci, koji žive u onome gorju, udariše na vas, pognaše vas, za vama se natisnuše kao pčele te su vas tukli od Seira do Horme.
and the Amorite who is dwelling in that hill-country comes out to meet you, and they pursue you as the bees do, and strike you in Seir, even to Hormah.
45 Vrativši se, plakali ste pred Jahvom, ali Jahve nije slušao vašega jauka niti je okrenuo svoga uha k vama.
And you return and weep before YHWH, and YHWH has not listened to your voice, nor has He given ear to you;
46 U Kadešu vam valjade ostati dugo vremena, onoliko koliko ste već ostali.
and you dwell in Kadesh [for] many days, according to the days which you had dwelt.”
