Ponovljeni zakon 26
1 Kad stigneš u zemlju koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje u baštinu, kad je zaposjedneš i u njoj se nastaniš,
When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you take possession of it and settle 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.
you are to take some of the firstfruits of all your produce from the soil of the land that the LORD your God is giving you and put them in a basket. Then go to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name,
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.'
to the priest who is serving at that time, and say to him, “I declare today to the LORD your God that I have entered the land that the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.”
4 Zatim će svećenik uzeti iz tvoje ruke košaru i položiti je pred žrtvenik Jahve, Boga tvoga.
Then the priest shall take the basket from your hands and place it before the altar of the LORD your 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 you are to declare before the LORD your God, “My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt few in number and lived there and became a great nation, mighty and numerous.
6 Egipćani su s nama postupali loše; tlačili su nas i nametnuli nam teško ropstvo.
But the Egyptians mistreated us and afflicted us, putting us to hard labor.
7 Vapili smo Jahvi, Bogu otaca svojih. Jahve je čuo vapaj naš; vidje naš jad, našu nevolju i našu muku.
So we called out to the LORD, the God of our fathers; and the LORD heard our voice and saw our affliction, toil, and oppression.
8 Iz Egipta nas izvede Jahve moćnom rukom i ispruženom mišicom, velikom strahotom, znakovima i čudesima.
Then the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror, signs, and wonders.
9 I dovede nas na ovo mjesto i dade nam ovu zemlju, zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko.
And He brought us to this place and gave 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 firstfruits of the land that You, O LORD, have given me.” Then you are to place the basket before the LORD your God and bow down before Him.
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.
So you shall rejoice—you, the Levite, and the foreigner dwelling among you—in all the good things the LORD your God has given to you and your household.
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 you have finished laying aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you are to give it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat and be filled within your gates.
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.
Then you shall declare in the presence of the LORD your God, “I have removed from my house the sacred portion and have given it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all the commandments You have given me. I have not transgressed or forgotten Your commandments.
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 any of the sacred portion while in mourning, or removed any of it while unclean, or offered any of it for the dead. I have obeyed the LORD my God; I have done everything You 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 Your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel and the land You have given us as You 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.
The LORD your God commands you this day to follow these statutes and ordinances. You must be careful to follow them with all your heart and with all your 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.
Today you have proclaimed that the LORD is your God and that you will walk in His ways, keep His statutes and commandments and ordinances, and listen 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 today the LORD has proclaimed that you are His people and treasured possession as He promised, that you are to 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.”
that He will set you high in praise and name and honor above all the nations He has made, and that you will be a holy people to the LORD your God, as He has promised.
