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 shall observe his appointments, and his ordinances, and his commandments, and his judgements, 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,

And you shall know this day; for [I speak] not to your children, who know not and have not seen the discipline of the Lord your God, and his wonderful works, and his strong hand, and his high arm,

3 o znamenjima njegovima i o djelima što ih učini usred Egipta na faraonu, kralju egipatskom, i na svoj zemlji njegovoj;

and his miracles, and his wonders, which he wrought in the midst of Egypt on Pharao king of Egypt, and 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 host of the Egyptians, and to their chariots, and their cavalry, and their host; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overwhelm the face of them as they pursued after you, and the Lord destroyed them until this day;

5 što je za vas radio u pustinji dok ne stigoste do ovoga mjesta;

and all the things which he did to you in the wilderness until you came into 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 all the things that he did to Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab the son of Ruben, whom the earth opening her mouth swallowed up, and their houses, and their tents, and all their substance that was with them, in the midst of all Israel:

7 Vaše su oči vidjele sva ta velika djela što ih je Jahve učinio.

for your eyes have seen all the mighty works of the Lord, which he wrought amongst you today.

8 Zato držite sve zapovijedi što vam ih danas naređujem da budete jaki te uzmete u posjed zemlju u koju idete da je osvojite;

And you shall keep all his commandments, as many as I command you today, that you may live, and be multiplied, and that you may go in and inherit the land, into which you go across Jordan to inherit it:

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.

that you may live long upon the land, which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, and to their seed after them, 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 into which you go to inherit it, is not as the land of Egypt, whence you came out, whenever they sow the seed, and water it with their feet, 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 into which you go to inherit it, is a land of mountains and plains; it shall drink water of the rain of heaven.

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 surveys continually, the eyes of the Lord your God are upon it from the beginning of the year 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,

Now if you will indeed listen to all the commands which I charge you this day, 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;

then he shall give to your land the early and latter rain in its season, and you shall bring in your corn, and your wine, and your oil.

15 travu ću davati po tvome polju tvome blagu. Tako ćeš jesti i biti sit.

And he shall give food in your fields to your cattle; and when you have eaten and are 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.

take heed to yourself that your heart be not puffed up, and you transgress, and 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 be angry with you, and restrain the heaven; and there shall not be rain, and the earth shall not yield its fruit, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land, which the Lord has given 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!

And you shall store these words in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and it shall be fixed before your eyes.

19 Poučite u njima svoje sinove; izgovarajte ih kad sjedite u svojoj kući i kad idete putem; kad liježete i kad ustajete.

And you shall teach them to your children, so as to speak about them when you sit in the house, and when you walk by the way, and when you sleep, and when you rise up.

20 Ispišite ih na dovratnike svoje kuće i na svoja vrata

And you shall write them on the lintels of your houses, 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 may be long, and the days of your children, upon the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, as the days of heaven upon 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,

And it shall come to pass that if you will indeed listen to all these commands, which I charge you to observe this day, to love the Lord our God, and to walk in all his ways, and to cleave close 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 shall cast out all these nations before you, and you shall inherit great nations and stronger 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 whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be your; from the wilderness and Antilibanus, and from the great river, the river Euphrates, even as far as the west sea shall be your coasts.

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 one shall stand before you; and the Lord your God will put the fear of you and the dread of you on the face of all the land, on which you shall tread, as he told you.

26 Gledajte! Nudim vam danas blagoslov i prokletstvo:

Behold, I set before you this day the blessing and the curse;

27 blagoslov, budete li slušali zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, koje vam danas dajem;

the blessing, if you listen to the commands of the Lord your God, all that I command you this day;

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 commands of the Lord our God, as many as I command you this day, and you wander from the way which I have commanded you, having gone to serve other gods, which you know not.

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.

And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land into which you go over to inherit it, then you shall put blessing on mount Garizin, and the curse upon mount Gaebal.

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.

Behold! are not these beyond Jordan, behind, westward in the land of Chanaan, which lies westward near Golgol, by the high oak?

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 passing over Jordan, to go in and inherit the land, which the Lord our God gives you to inherit always, and you shall dwell in it.

32 Ali držite i vršite sve zakone i uredbe koje vam danas izlažem.

And you shall take heed to do all his ordinances, and these judgements, as many as I set before you today.
