Ponovljeni zakon 26

1 Kad stigneš u zemlju koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje u baštinu, kad je zaposjedneš i u njoj se nastaniš,

And it shall be, when thou have come in to the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell in it,

2 uzmi nešto prvina od svakoga ploda što ga budeš dobivao od zemlje koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje: stavi ih u košaru, otiđi u mjesto što ga Jahve, Bog tvoj, odabere da u njemu nastani svoje ime.

that thou shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shall bring in from thy land that Jehovah thy God gives thee, and thou shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.

3 Stupi k svećeniku koji bude tada vršio službu i reci: 'Priznajem danas pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, da sam stigao u zemlju za koju se Jahve zakleo našim ocima da će je nama dati.'

And thou shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and say to him, I profess this day to Jehovah thy God, that I have come to the land which Jehovah swore to our fathers to give us.

4 Zatim će svećenik uzeti iz tvoje ruke košaru i položiti je pred žrtvenik Jahve, Boga tvoga.

And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of Jehovah thy God.

5 Ti onda nastavi i reci pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim: 'Moj je otac bio aramejski lutalac koji je sa malo čeljadi sišao u Egipat da se skloni. Ali je ondje postao velikim, brojnim i moćnim narodom.

And thou shall answer and say before Jehovah thy God, My father was a Syrian ready to perish, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number. And he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.

6 Egipćani su s nama postupali loše; tlačili su nas i nametnuli nam teško ropstvo.

And the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage.

7 Vapili smo Jahvi, Bogu otaca svojih. Jahve je čuo vapaj naš; vidje naš jad, našu nevolju i našu muku.

And we cried to Jehovah, the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression.

8 Iz Egipta nas izvede Jahve moćnom rukom i ispruženom mišicom, velikom strahotom, znakovima i čudesima.

And Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders.

9 I dovede nas na ovo mjesto i dade nam ovu zemlju, zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko.

And he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 I sad, evo, donosim prvine plodova sa tla što si mi ga, Jahve, dao.' Stavi ih pred Jahvu, Boga svoga, i pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, duboko se nakloni.

And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which thou, O Jehovah, have given me. And thou shall set it down before Jehovah thy God, and worship before Jehovah thy God.

11 A onda zajedno s levitom i došljakom koji bude kod tebe uživaj sva dobra kojima je Jahve, Bog tvoj, obasuo tebe i dom tvoj.

And thou shall rejoice in all the good which Jehovah thy God has given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the sojourner who is in the midst of thee.

12 A kad treće godine - godine desetine - završiš odjeljivanje sve desetine od svoga prihoda i dadeš levitu, došljaku, siroti i udovici po tvojim gradovima da jedu do sitosti,

When thou have made an end of tithing all the tithe of thine increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then thou shall give it to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled.

13 tada pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, izjavi: 'Iz kuće sam uklonio ono što je bilo posvećeno. Dao sam još i levitu, došljaku, siroti i udovici, prema svim tvojim zapovijedima koje si mi izdao. Ni jedne tvoje zapovijedi nisam prekršio ni zaboravio.

And thou shall say before Jehovah thy God, I have put away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them.

14 Od toga nisam ništa jeo u žalosti; od toga nisam ništa žrtvovao u nečistoći, niti sam od toga što dao mrtvacu; slušao sam glas Jahve, Boga svoga; u svemu sam učinio kako si mi naredio.

I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I put away from it, being unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God. I have done according to all that thou have commanded me.

15 Pogledaj s nebesa, iz svoga svetog prebivališta, i blagoslovi narod svoj izraelski i zemlju koju si nam dao, zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko - kako si se zakleo ocima našim.'

Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the ground which thou have given us, as thou swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.

16 Jahve, Bog tvoj, naređuje ti danas da vršiš ove zakone i uredbe. Drži ih, dakle, i vrši svim srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom.

This day Jehovah thy God commands thee to do these statutes and ordinances. Thou shall therefore keep and do them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.

17 Danas si ugovorio s Jahvom da će ti on biti Bog, a ti da ćeš ići njegovim putovima, držati njegove zakone, njegove zapovijedi i njegove uredbe i slušati njegov glas.

Thou have avouched Jehovah this day to be thy God, and that thou would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and hearken to his voice.

18 Danas je Jahve ugovorio s tobom da ćeš ti biti njegov narod, njegova predraga svojina, kako ti je obećao, i da ćeš držati sve njegove zapovijedi.

And Jehovah has avouched thee this day to be a people for his own possession, as he has promised thee, and that thou should keep all his commandments,

19 On će te uzvisiti čašću, imenom i slavom nad sve narode koje je stvorio; i ti ćeš biti narod posvećen Jahvi, Bogu svome, kako ti je rekao.”

and to make thee high above all nations that he has made, in praise, and in name, and in honor, and that thou may be a holy people to Jehovah thy God, as he has spoken.
