Ponovljeni zakon 2
1 Onda se okrenusmo i pođosmo u pustinju prema Crvenome moru, kako mi je Jahve naredio. Dugo smo se vrtjeli oko gore Seira.
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as Jehovah spoke to me. And we encompassed mount Seir many days.
2 I reče mi Jahve:
And Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
3 'Dosta ste se vrtjeli oko ovoga brda. Okrenite prema sjeveru!'
Ye have encompassed this mountain long enough, turn northward.
4 I narodu naloži ovako: 'Sad ćete proći preko područja svoje braće, potomaka Ezavovih, koji žive u Seiru. Oni se vas boje, ali vi dobro pripazite;
And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brothers the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and they will be afraid of you. Take ye good heed to yourselves therefore.
5 s njima ne zamećite boja jer vam neću dati ni stope njihove zemlje: goru Seir predao sam Ezavu u vlasništvo.
Do not contend with them, for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
6 Hranu od njih kupujte za novac da imate što jesti; i vodu za piće kupujte od njih za novac.'
Ye shall purchase food from them for money, that ye may eat, and ye shall also buy water from them for money, that ye may drink.
7 Ta Jahve te, Bog tvoj, blagoslovio u svim djelima tvojih ruku; on je bdio nad tvojim putovanjem onom velikom pustinjom; ovih četrdeset godina Jahve, Bog tvoj, bijaše s tobom i ništa ti nije nedostajalo.
For Jehovah thy God has blessed thee in all the work of thy hand. He has known thy walking through this great wilderness. These forty years Jehovah thy God has been with thee; thou have lacked nothing.
8 Tako smo svoju braću, potomke Ezavove što žive u Seiru, zaobišli putem što vodi u Arabu, Elat i Esjon Geber, a onda udarismo prema Moapskoj pustinji.
So we passed by from our brothers the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion-geber. And we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
9 Tada mi zapovjedi Jahve: 'Nemoj uznemirivati Moapce niti s njima zameći boja, jer ništa od njihove zemlje neću dati u tvoje vlasništvo: Lotovim sinovima predao sam Ar u posjed.'
And Jehovah said to me, Do not vex Moab, neither contend with them in battle, for I will not give thee of his land for a possession, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot for a possession.
10 Prije su ondje živjeli Emijci. Bio je to moćan narod i brojan; krupna stasa kao i Anakovci.
(The Emim dwelt in it formerly, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim.
11 Poput Anakovaca, i njih smatraju Refaimcima, ali ih Moapci nazivaju Emijcima.
These also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim.
12 Isto su tako u Seiru živjeli prije Horijci, ali su ih Ezavovi potomci izvlastili, istrijebili ih i naselili se na njihovo, kako je, uostalom, učinio Izrael sa zemljom - baštinom svojom - koju mu je Jahve predao.
The Horites also dwelt in Seir formerly, but the sons of Esau succeeded them. And they destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead, as Israel did to the land of his possession, which Jehovah gave to them.)
13 'A sada ustanite i prijeđite preko potoka Zereda!' I prijeđosmo potok Zered.
Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
14 Vrijeme što smo išli od Kadeš Barnee pa dok smo prešli preko potoka Zereda iznosilo je trideset i osam godina - sve dok nije izumro iz tabora sav onaj naraštaj ljudi sposobnih za borbu, kako im se Jahve i zakleo.
And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we came over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah swore to them.
15 I zbilja! Ruka Jahvina bila je protiv njih: istrebljivala ih je isred tabora dok ih nije nestalo.
Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
16 I tako, kad je smrt istrijebila iz naroda sve ljude sposobne za borbu,
So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17 reče mi Jahve:
that Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
18 'Danas prelaziš moapsku zemlju Ar.
Thou are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab.
19 A onda ćeš se približiti Amoncima. Nemoj ih uznemirivati niti s njima zameći boja. Ništa, naime, od zemlje Amonaca neću ustupiti tebi u vlasništvo jer sam je već predao u posjed Lotovim potomcima.'
And when thou come near opposite the sons of Ammon, do not vex them, nor contend with them, for I will not give thee of the land of the sons of Ammon for a possession, because I have given it to the sons of Lot for a possession.
20 I nju smatraju refaimskom zemljom. U njoj su prije živjeli Refaimci, koje Amonci zovu Zamzumijcima.
(That also is accounted a land of Rephaim. Rephaim dwelt in it formerly, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
21 Bio je to narod moćan i brojan; krupna stasa kao i Anakovci. No Jahve ih uništi pred Amoncima - koji ih izvlastiše i naseliše se na njihovo,
a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim. But Jehovah destroyed them before them, and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead,
22 kako je, uostalom, učinio i potomcima Ezavovim, koji su nastanjeni u Seiru, kad je pred njima uništio Horijce, koje su oni otjerali s posjeda i do danas žive na njihovim mjestima.
as he did for the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them. And they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even to this day.
23 I Avijce, koji su živjeli po zaseocima sve do Gaze, istrijebiše Kaftorci koji su došli iz Kaftora te se naseliše na njihovo mjesto.
And the Avvim, who dwelt in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
24 'Ustajte! Na put krenite i prijeđite preko potoka Arnona. U ruke ti, eto, predajem Amorejca Sihona, kralja hešbonskoga, i njegovu zemlju. Počni s osvajanjem; izazovi ga na boj!
Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
25 Od danas počinjem ugoniti strah i trepet pred tobom u narode koji su pod svim nebesima, tako da će strepiti i tresti se pred tobom kad god čuju glas o tebi.'
This day I will begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples who are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
26 Tada sam iz pustinje Kedmot uputio glasnike kralju hešbonskom Sihonu s miroljubivim riječima:
And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
27 'Pusti da prođem preko tvoje zemlje. Samo ću proći putem, ne skrećući ni desno ni lijevo.
Let me pass through thy land. I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
28 Hranu mi prodavaj za novac da mogu jesti; i vodu za piće davaj mi za novac. Pusti me samo da pješice prođem,
Thou shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink. Only let me pass through on my feet,
29 da prijeđem preko Jordana u zemlju koju nam daje Jahve, Bog naš - kao što su mi dopustili potomci Ezavovi, nastanjeni u Seiru, i Moapci, što žive u Aru.'
as the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God gives us.
30 Ali hešbonski kralj Sihon ne htjede nas pustiti preko svoga; jer Jahve, Bog tvoj, duh mu zaslijepi a srce otvrdnu, da ga preda u tvoje šake, gdje je i danas.
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as at this day.
31 Tada mi reče Jahve: 'Eto sam počeo da ti izručujem Sihona i njegovu zemlju. Počni osvajanje da mu zemljom zagospodariš.'
And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before thee. Begin to possess, that thou may inherit his land.
32 Kod Jahasa presrete nas Sihon.
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
33 Navali on i sav njegov narod. Ali Jahve, Bog naš, predade nam ga, tako da potukosmo njega, njegove sinove i sav njegov narod.
And Jehovah our God delivered him up before us. And we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
34 Tada osvojismo sve njegove gradove i prokletstvom udarismo sve gradove s ljudima, ženama i djecom, ništa ne štedeći,
And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining.
35 izuzev stoke, koju uzesmo kao plijen, skupa s plijenom iz gradova što smo ih osvojili.
We only took the cattle for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
36 Od Aroera, koji se nalazi na obali potoka Arnona, i od grada koji je u njegovoj dolini pa do Gileada nije bilo grada koji bi nam odolio: sve nam ih je Jahve, Bog naš, predao.
From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. Jehovah our God delivered up all before us.
37 Jedino se nisi primicao zemlji Amonaca, kraju uz potok Jabok, i gradovima u pogorju, kako je Jahve, Bog naš, odredio.
Only to the land of the sons of Ammon thou did not come near, all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill-country, and wherever Jehovah our God forbad us.
