Ponovljeni zakon 11
1 Ljubi, dakle, Jahvu, Boga svoga, i vrši u sve dane njegove naredbe, njegove zakone, uredbe i zapovijedi.
Therefore you shall love the LORD your God, and keep his instructions, his statutes, his ordinances, and his commandments, always.
2 Vi, a ne vaši sinovi, koji nisu ni upoznali ni vidjeli pouke Jahve, Boga vašega, danas ste se osvjedočili o njegovoj veličajnosti, o njegovoj moćnoj ruci, ispruženoj mišici,
Know this day—for I do not speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, his outstretched arm,
3 o znamenjima njegovima i o djelima što ih učini usred Egipta na faraonu, kralju egipatskom, i na svoj zemlji njegovoj;
his signs, and his works, which he did in the middle of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land;
4 što je učinio egipatskoj vojsci, njihovim konjima i kolima; kako ih je preplavio vodama Crvenog mora kad su vas progonili i kako ih je zatro do današnjeg dana;
and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued you, and how the LORD has destroyed them to this day;
5 što je za vas radio u pustinji dok ne stigoste do ovoga mjesta;
and what he did to you in the wilderness until you came to this place;
6 što je učinio s Datanom i Abiramom, sinovima Eliaba, Rubenova potomka, kad zemlja rastvori ralje svoje te ih proguta sred svega Izraela, njih i njihove obitelji, njihove šatore i sve što imahu.
and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben—how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the middle of all Israel;
7 Vaše su oči vidjele sva ta velika djela što ih je Jahve učinio.
but your eyes have seen all of the LORD’s great work which he did.
8 Zato držite sve zapovijedi što vam ih danas naređujem da budete jaki te uzmete u posjed zemlju u koju idete da je osvojite;
Therefore you shall keep the entire commandment which I command you today, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land that you go over to possess;
9 napokon, da dugo živite u zemlji za koju se zakleo Jahve ocima vašim da će je dati njima i njihovu potomstvu - zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko.
and that you may prolong your days in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Jer zemlja u koju ideš da je zaposjedneš nije kao zemlja egipatska iz koje ste izašli, gdje si, posijavši sjeme, morao svoj usjev svojom nogom natapati kao što se natapa povrtnjak.
For the land, where you go in to possess is not like the land of Egypt that you came out of, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs;
11 Zemlja u koju idete da je zaposjednete zemlja je bregova i dolova i natapa je dažd nebeski;
but the land that you go over to possess is a land of hills and valleys which drinks water from the rain of the sky,
12 zemlja nad kojom Jahve, Bog tvoj, bdi; na kojoj oči Jahve, Boga tvoga, uvijek počivaju, od početka do svršetka godine.
a land which the LORD your God cares for. The LORD your God’s eyes are always on it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.
13 Zato, ako doista poslušate zapovijedi koje vam danas izdajem i budete ljubili Jahvu, Boga svoga, i služili mu svim srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom,
It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14 davat ću vašoj zemlji kišu u pravo vrijeme: u jesen i u proljeće, i moći ćeš sabirati svoje žito, svoje vino i svoje ulje;
that I will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.
15 travu ću davati po tvome polju tvome blagu. Tako ćeš jesti i biti sit.
I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full.
16 Pazite da se vaše srce ne zavede, da ne pođete stranputicom, da drugim bogovima ne iskazujete štovanje i da im se ne klanjate.
Be careful, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn away to serve other gods and worship them;
17 Jer tada bi na vas Jahve usplamtio gnjevom: nebesa bi zatvorio; kiše ne bi bilo; zemlja ne bi davala roda i vas bi brzo nestalo s te dobre zemlje koju vam Jahve daje.
and the LORD’s anger be kindled against you, and he shut up the sky so that there is no rain, and the land does not yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD gives you.
18 Utisnite ove moje riječi u svoje srce i svoju dušu; kao znak ih privežite na svoju ruku; neka vam budu kao zapis među očima!
Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul. You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
19 Poučite u njima svoje sinove; izgovarajte ih kad sjedite u svojoj kući i kad idete putem; kad liježete i kad ustajete.
You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
20 Ispišite ih na dovratnike svoje kuće i na svoja vrata
You shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates;
21 da vaši dani i dani vaših sinova u zemlji za koju se Jahve zakleo vašim ocima da će im je dati - budu brojni kao dani nebesa nad zemljom.
that your days and your children’s days may be multiplied in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.
22 Ako budete vjerno držali sve ove zapovijedi koje vam naređujem, vršili ih i ljubili Jahvu, Boga svoga, hodili svim njegovim putovima i čvrsto se priljubili uz njega,
For if you shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you—to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cling to him—
23 Jahve će ispred vas protjerati sve te narode i vi ćete s posjeda odagnati narode brojnije i jače od sebe.
then the LORD will drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
24 Svako mjesto na koje stupi vaša noga bit će vaše; od pustinje i Libanona, od Rijeke, rijeke Eufrata, do Zapadnog mora sterat će se vaše područje.
Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the western sea shall be your border.
25 Nitko se neće održati pred vama; strah i trepet raširit će Jahve, Bog vaš, po svoj zemlji u koju stupite, kako vam je rekao.
No man will be able to stand before you. The LORD your God will lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you tread on, as he has spoken to you.
26 Gledajte! Nudim vam danas blagoslov i prokletstvo:
Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse:
27 blagoslov, budete li slušali zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, koje vam danas dajem;
the blessing, if you listen to the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today;
28 a prokletstvo, ne budete li slušali zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, nego sađete s puta koji vam danas određujem te pođete za drugim bogovima kojih niste poznavali.
and the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn away out of the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.
29 Kada te Jahve, Bog tvoj, uvede u zemlju u koju ideš da je zaposjedneš, tada nad gorom Gerizimom izreci blagoslov, a prokletstvo nad gorom Ebalom.
It shall happen, when the LORD your God brings you into the land that you go to possess, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal.
30 Te se gore izdižu, kako znate, s onu stranu Jordana, za putom prema zapadu, u zemlji Kanaanaca, koji žive u Arabi, nasuprot Gilgalu, uz Hrast More.
Are not they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah near Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?
31 Eto ćete prijeći preko Jordana da zaposjednete zemlju koju vam daje Jahve, Bog vaš. Zaposjednite je i nastanite se u njoj.
For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God gives you, and you shall possess it and dwell in it.
32 Ali držite i vršite sve zakone i uredbe koje vam danas izlažem.
You shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you today.
