Ponovljeni zakon 10

1 U to vrijeme Jahve mi reče: 'Iskleši dvije kamene ploče kao i prijašnje pa se popni k meni na brdo; a napravi i drveni kovčeg.

At that time the LORD said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, come up to Me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood.

2 Na ploče ću napisati riječi koje su bile na prvim pločama što si ih razbio. A onda ih položi u kovčeg.'

And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and you are to place them in the ark.”

3 Načinih kovčeg od bagremovine, isklesah dvije kamene ploče kao što bijahu prve, pa se, s dvjema pločama u ruci, popeh na brdo.

So I made an ark of acacia wood, chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hands.

4 I napisa na te ploče, kao i prije, Deset riječi koje vam je Jahve rekao na brdu, isred ognja, na dan zbora. Onda ih Jahve dade meni.

And the LORD wrote on the tablets what had been written previously, the Ten Commandments that He had spoken to you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the assembly. The LORD gave them to me,

5 Okrenuh se i siđoh s brda. Položih ploče u kovčeg koji bijah napravio. I stadoše ondje, kako mi je Jahve naredio.

and I went back down the mountain and placed the tablets in the ark I had made, as the LORD had commanded me; and there they have remained.

6 Od Beerota sinova Jaakanovih odoše Izraelci u Moseru. Ondje umrije Aron i ondje bi pokopan. Svećenikom mjesto njega postade njegov sin Eleazar.

The Israelites traveled from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son succeeded him as priest.

7 Odande odoše u Gudgodu; iz Gudgode u Jotbatu, u kraj bogat potocima.

From there they traveled to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water.

8 U to vrijeme odvoji Jahve pleme Levijevo da nosi Kovčeg saveza Jahvina; da pred Jahvom stoji u njegovoj službi te da u njegovo ime blagoslivlja, kako radi i danas.

At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to serve Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name, as they do to this day.

9 Stoga Levi nema udjela ni baštine sa svojom braćom: Jahve je njegova baština, kako mu je Jahve, Bog tvoj, i rekao.

That is why Levi has no portion or inheritance among his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, as the LORD your God promised him.

10 Na brdu sam ostao, kao i prvi put, četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći. I usliša me Jahve i taj put; nije htio da te uništi,

I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, like the first time, and that time the LORD again listened to me and agreed not to destroy you.

11 nego mi Jahve reče: 'Ustaj! Idi pred ovim narodom da uđu i zaposjednu zemlju za koju sam se zakleo njihovim ocima da ću im je dati.'

Then the LORD said to me, “Get up. Continue your journey ahead of the people, that they may enter and possess the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.”

12 Dakle, Izraele, što od tebe traži Jahve, Bog tvoj? Samo to da se bojiš Jahve, Boga svoga; da po svim putovima njegovim hodiš; da ga ljubiš i služiš Jahvi, Bogu svome, svim srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom;

And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

13 da držiš Jahvine zapovijedi i njegove zakone što ti ih danas za tvoje dobro dajem.

and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD that I am giving you this day for your own good?

14 Evo, Jahvi, Bogu tvome, pripada nebo i nebo nad nebesima, zemlja i sve što je na njoj.

Behold, to the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, and the earth and everything in it.

15 Ali Jahvi samo vaši oci omilješe i poslije njih izabrao je vas, potomke njihove, između svih naroda, kako je i danas.

Yet the LORD has set His affection on your fathers and loved them. And He has chosen you, their descendants after them, above all the peoples, even to this day.

16 Srce svoje obrežite; šiju više ne ukrućujte!

Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and stiffen your necks no more.

17 Jer Jahve, Bog vaš, Bog je nad bogovima, Gospodar nad gospodarima, Bog velik, jak i strašan, koji nije pristran i ne da se podmititi;

For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God, showing no partiality and accepting no bribe.

18 daje pravdu siroti i udovici; ljubi pridošlicu, daje mu hranu i odjeću.

He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and He loves the foreigner, giving him food and clothing.

19 Ljubite i vi pridošlicu, jer ste i sami bili pridošlice u zemlji egipatskoj.

So you also must love the foreigner, since you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

20 Boj se Jahve, Boga svojeg; njemu služi; uza nj se priljubi; njegovim imenom priseži.

You are to fear the LORD your God and serve Him. Hold fast to Him and take your oaths in His name.

21 On je tvoja slava, Bog tvoj, koji je radi tebe učinio velika i čudesna djela što su ih vidjele tvoje oči.

He is your praise and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome wonders that your eyes have seen.

22 Tvojih otaca, kad su se spustili u Egipat, bješe samo sedamdeset, a sad je Jahve, Bog tvoj, učinio te vas ima kao zvijezda na nebu.

Your fathers went down to Egypt, seventy in all, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.
