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 that Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain of the Jordan River valley over against Suph, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 od Horeba do Kadeš Barnee, Seirskom gorom, jedanaest dana hoda.
It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by 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.
It happened in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the people of Israel, telling them all that Yahweh 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,
This was after Yahweh had attacked Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth at 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 began to announce these instructions, saying,
6 “Jahve, Bog naš, reče nam na Horebu: 'Dosta ste boravili na ovome brdu.
“Yahweh our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying, 'You have lived long enough in this hill country.
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 take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all the places near there in the plain of the Jordan River valley, in the hill country, in the lowland, in the Negev, and by the seashore—the land of the Canaanites, and in Lebanon as far as the great river, the Euphrates.
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.'
Look, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land that Yahweh swore to your fathers—to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob—to give to them and to their descendants after them.'
9 Tada sam vam rekao: 'Ne mogu vas voditi sam.
I spoke to you at that time, saying, 'I am not able to carry you myself alone.
10 Jahve, Bog vaš, toliko vas je razmnožio da vas danas ima kao zvijezda na nebu.
Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and, look, you are today as the multitude of the stars of heaven.
11 Neka vas Jahve, Bog vaših otaca, umnoži još tisuću puta! Neka vas blagoslivlja kako vam je obećao!
May Yahweh, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!
12 Ali kako bih ja sam mogao nositi vaš teret, vaše breme i vaše sporove?
But how can I myself alone carry your loads, your burdens, and your disputes?
13 Izaberite stoga iz svojih plemena ljude pametne, iskusne i ugledne da vam ih postavim za poglavare.'
Take wise men, understanding men, and men of good repute from each tribe, and I will make them heads over you.'
14 Vi ste mi odgovorili: 'Dobro je što predlažeš.'
You answered me and said, 'The thing that you have spoken is good for us 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.
So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and men of good repute, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, captains of hundreds, captains of fifties, captains of tens, and officers, tribe by tribe.
16 U to isto vrijeme naložio sam i vašim sucima: 'Saslušajte svoju braću; sudite pravedno između čovjeka i njegova brata ili pridošlice.
I commanded your judges at that time, saying, 'Hear the disputes between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is with him.
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 will not show partiality to anyone in a dispute; you will hear the small and the great alike. You will not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God's. The dispute that is too hard for you, you will bring to me, and I will hear it.'
18 Tako sam vam onda naložio sve što vam je činiti.
I commanded you at that time all the things that you should 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.
We journeyed away from Horeb and went through all that great and terrible wilderness that you saw, on our way to the hill country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God had commanded us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea.
20 Tada vam rekoh: 'Došli ste u gorski kraj Amorejaca, koji nam Jahve, Bog naš, daje.
I said to you, 'You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God 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!'
Look, Yahweh your God has set the land before you; go up, take possession, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you; do not be afraid, neither be discouraged.'
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.'
Every one of you came to me and said, 'Let us send men ahead of us, so that they may search out the land for us, and bring us word about the way by which we should attack, and about the cities to which we will come.'
23 Svidje mi se što rekoste. Zato uzeh dvanaest ljudi između vas, po jednoga iz svakog plemena.
The advice pleased me well; I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe.
24 Krenuli su na pogorje, stigli do Eškolske doline te izvidjeli kraj.
They turned and went up into the hill country, came to the Valley of Eshkol, and scouted it.
25 I nabraše plodova one zemlje, donesoše ih k nama i javiše: 'Zemlja koju nam daje Jahve, Bog naš, dobra je.'
They took some of the produce of the land in their hands and brought it down to us. They also brought us word and said, 'It is a good land that Yahweh our God is giving to us.'
26 Ali vi niste htjeli onamo; pobunili ste se protiv naredbe Jahve, Boga svoga.
Yet you refused to attack, but rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God.
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.
You complained in your tents and said, “It is because Yahweh hated us that he has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorites 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.'
Where can we go now? Our brothers have made our heart to melt, saying, 'Those people are bigger and taller than we are; their cities are large and are fortified up to the heavens; moreover, we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.'”
29 'Ne bojte se!' - rekoh vam. - 'Ne plašite ih se!
Then I said to you, 'Do not be terrified, neither 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.'
Yahweh your God, who goes before you, he will fight for you, like everything that he did for 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 also in the wilderness, where you have seen how Yahweh your God carried you, as a man carries his son, everywhere you went until you came to this place.'
32 Ali, unatoč tome, vi niste imali pouzdanja u Jahvu, Boga svoga,
Yet in spite of this word you did not believe Yahweh your God,
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 went before you on the way to find a place for you to make camp, in fire by night and in a cloud by day.
34 Jahve ču graju vašu i zakle se u svojoj srdžbi:
Yahweh heard the sound of your words and was angry; he swore and said,
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.
'Surely not one of these men of this evil generation will see the good land that I swore to give to your ancestors,
36 Izuzimam Kaleba, sina Jefuneova. On će je vidjeti; njemu i njegovim potomcima dat ću zemlju kojom je išao, jer je vjerno slijedio Jahvu.'
save Caleb son of Jephunneh; he will see it. To him I will give the land that he has stepped on, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Yahweh.'
37 Zbog vas se Jahve i na mene razljutio te mi rekao: 'Ni ti onamo nećeš ući.
Also Yahweh was angry with me because of you, saying, 'You also will 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 stands before you, he will go in there; encourage him, for he will lead 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.
Moreover, your little children, the ones you said would be victims, who today have no knowledge of good or evil—they will go in there. To them I will give it, and they will possess it.
40 A vi se okrenite i zaputite u pustinju, prema Crvenome moru!'
But as for you, turn and take your journey into the wilderness along the way to the Sea of Reeds.'
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.
Then you answered and said to me, 'We have sinned against Yahweh; we will go up and fight, and we will follow all that Yahweh our God has commanded us to do.' Every man among you put on his weapons of war, and you were ready to attack 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.'
Yahweh said to me, 'Say to them, “Do not attack and do not fight, for I will not be with you, and you will be defeated by your enemies.'
43 Tako sam vam i govorio, ali niste poslušali. Oprli ste se zapovijedi Jahvinoj i, puni drskosti, krenuli u brda.
I spoke to you in this way, but you did not listen. You rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh; you were arrogant and attacked 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.
But the Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you and chased you like bees, and struck you down in Seir, as far as Hormah.
45 Vrativši se, plakali ste pred Jahvom, ali Jahve nije slušao vašega jauka niti je okrenuo svoga uha k vama.
You returned and wept before Yahweh; but Yahweh did not listen to your voice, nor did he pay attention to you.
46 U Kadešu vam valjade ostati dugo vremena, onoliko koliko ste već ostali.
So you stayed in Kadesh many days, all the days that you stayed there.
