Ponovljeni zakon 11
1 Ljubi, dakle, Jahvu, Boga svoga, i vrši u sve dane njegove naredbe, njegove zakone, uredbe i zapovijedi.
Therefore love the Lord thy God and observe his precepts and ceremonies, his judgments and commandments at all times.
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 the things that your children know not, who saw not the chastisements of the Lord your God. his great doings and strong hand, and stretched out arm,
3 o znamenjima njegovima i o djelima što ih učini usred Egipta na faraonu, kralju egipatskom, i na svoj zemlji njegovoj;
The signs and works which he did in the midst of Egypt to king Pharao, 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 to all the host of the Egyptians, and to their horses and chariots: how the waters of the Red Sea covered them, when they pursued you, and how the Lord destroyed them until this present day:
5 što je za vas radio u pustinji dok ne stigoste do ovoga mjesta;
And what he hath done to you in the wilderness, till 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 to Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab, who was the son of Ruben: whom the earth, opening her mouth swallowed up with their households and tents, and all their substance, which they had in the midst of Israel.
7 Vaše su oči vidjele sva ta velika djela što ih je Jahve učinio.
Your eyes have seen all the greet works of the Lord, that he hath done,
8 Zato držite sve zapovijedi što vam ih danas naređujem da budete jaki te uzmete u posjed zemlju u koju idete da je osvojite;
That you may keep all his commandments, which I command you this day, and may go in, and possess the land, to which you are entering,
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 may live in it a long time: which the Lord promised by oath to your fathers, and to their seed, a land which floweth 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, which thou goest to possess, is not like the land of Egypt, from whence thou camest out, where, when the seed is sown, waters are brought in to water it after the manner of gardens.
11 Zemlja u koju idete da je zaposjednete zemlja je bregova i dolova i natapa je dažd nebeski;
But it is a land of hills and plains, expecting rain from heaven.
12 zemlja nad kojom Jahve, Bog tvoj, bdi; na kojoj oči Jahve, Boga tvoga, uvijek počivaju, od početka do svršetka godine.
And the Lord thy God doth always visit it, and his eyes are on it from the beginning of the year unto the end thereof.
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,
If then you obey my commandments, which I command you this day, that you love the Lord your God, and 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;
He will give to your land the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather 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 your hay out of the fields to feed your cattle, and that you may eat and be filled.
16 Pazite da se vaše srce ne zavede, da ne pođete stranputicom, da drugim bogovima ne iskazujete štovanje i da im se ne klanjate.
Beware lest perhaps your heart be deceived, and you depart from the Lord, and serve strange gods, and adore 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 being angry shut up heaven, that the rain come not down, nor the earth yield her fruit, and you perish quickly from the excellent land, which the Lord will give 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!
Lay up these my words in your hearts and minds, and hang them for a sign on your hands, and place them 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.
Teach your children that they meditate on them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest on the way, and when thou liest down and risest up.
20 Ispišite ih na dovratnike svoje kuće i na svoja vrata
Thou shalt write them upon the posts and the doors of thy house:
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 thy days may be multiplied, and the days of thy children in the land which the Lord swore to thy fathers, that he would give them as long as the heaven hangeth over 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 keep the commandments which I command you, and do them, to love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, cleaving unto him,
23 Jahve će ispred vas protjerati sve te narode i vi ćete s posjeda odagnati narode brojnije i jače od sebe.
The Lord will destroy all these nations before your face, and you shall possess them, which are greater and stronger than you.
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, that your foot shall tread upon, shall be yours. From the desert, and from Libanus, from the great river Euphrates unto the western sea shall be your borders.
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.
None shall stand against you: the Lord your God shall lay the dread and fear of you upon all the land that you shall tread upon, as he hath spoken to you.
26 Gledajte! Nudim vam danas blagoslov i prokletstvo:
Behold I set forth in your sight this day a blessing and a curse:
27 blagoslov, budete li slušali zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, koje vam danas dajem;
A blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which 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.
A curse, if you obey not the commandments of the Lord your. God, but revolt from the way which now I shew you, and walk after strange 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 when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, whither thou goest to dwell, thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Garizim, the curse upon mount Hebal:
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.
Which are beyond the Jordan, behind the way that goeth to the setting of the sun, in the land of the Chanaanite who dwelleth in the plain country over against Galgala, which is near the valley that reacheth and entereth far.
31 Eto ćete prijeći preko Jordana da zaposjednete zemlju koju vam daje Jahve, Bog vaš. Zaposjednite je i nastanite se u njoj.
For you shall pass over the Jordan, to possess the land, which the Lord your God will give you, that you may have it and possess it.
32 Ali držite i vršite sve zakone i uredbe koje vam danas izlažem.
See therefore that you fulfill the ceremonies and judgments, which I shall set this day before you.
