Ponovljeni zakon 28
1 Ako zbilja poslušaš glas Jahve, Boga svoga, držeći i vršeći sve njegove zapovijedi što ti ih danas naređujem, Jahve, Bog tvoj, uzvisit će te nad sve narode na zemlji.
“If you do what Yahweh our God tells you to do and faithfully obey everything that I am today commanding you to do, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation on the earth.
2 Svi ovi blagoslovi sići će na te i stići će te ako budeš slušao glas Jahve, Boga svoga.
If you obey Yahweh, this is what he will do to bless you:
3 Blagoslovljen ćeš biti u gradu, blagoslovljen u polju.
He will bless everything that you do when you are in the cities and he will bless everything that you do when you are [working] in the fields.
4 Blagoslovljen će biti plod utrobe tvoje, rod zemlje tvoje, plod blaga tvoga: mlad krava tvojih i prirast stada tvoga.
He will bless you by giving you many children [IDM] and by giving you abundant crops, and plenty of cattle and sheep.
5 Blagoslovljen će biti tvoj koš i naćve tvoje.
He will bless you by causing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
6 Blagoslovljen ćeš biti kad ulaziš, blagoslovljen kad izlaziš.
He will bless you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
7 Neprijatelje tvoje koji se dignu protiv tebe Jahve će položiti preda te potučene; jednim će putem izaći na te, a na sedam putova razbježat će se ispred tebe.
Yahweh will enable you to defeat [the armies of] your enemies; they will attack you from one direction, but they will run away from you in seven/many directions.
8 Jahve će narediti da blagoslov bude s tobom u žitnicama tvojim i u svakom pothvatu ruke tvoje i blagoslivljat će te u zemlji koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje.
Yahweh will bless you [by filling] your barns [with grain], and he will bless all the work that you do; he will bless you in the land that he is giving to you.
9 Jahve će od tebe učiniti narod sebi posvećen, kako ti se zakleo, ako budeš držao zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, i hodio njegovim putovima.
“If you obey all the commandments that Yahweh our God [has given to you] and if you conduct your lives as he wants you to do, you will continue to be his people, which is what he promised.
10 Svi narodi zemlje vidjet će da je nada te zazvano ime Jahvino te će strahovati od tebe.
“When all the people-groups on the earth will realize that you belong to [MTY] Yahweh, and they will be afraid of you.
11 Jahve će te obasuti obilnim dobrima: porodom utrobe tvoje, priraštajem blaga tvoga i rodom s tla tvoga u zemlji za koju se Jahve zakleo ocima tvojim da će ti je dati.
“And Yahweh will cause you to prosper very much. He will give you many children [IDM], many cattle, and abundant crops in the land that he vowed to our ancestors that he would give to you.
12 Jahve će ti otvoriti svoju bogatu riznicu - nebo - da daje kišu tvojoj zemlji u pravo vrijeme i blagoslovi svaki pothvat ruku tvojih. Mnogim ćeš narodima u zajam davati, a sam nećeš uzimati u zajam.
“When rain is needed, Yahweh will send it from where he stores it in the sky, and he will bless all your work, with the result that you [will be able to] lend money to many other nations, but you will not need to borrow [money from them].
13 Jahve će te držati na pročelju, a ne u začelju; uvijek ćeš biti na vrhu, nikad na dnu, ako budeš slušao zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, što ti ih danas naređujem da ih držiš i vršiš.
If you faithfully obey all of the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving you today, Yahweh will cause your nation to be a leader among the nations, not inferior to them; you will always be prosperous and never be needy/poor [IDM].
14 Ni od jedne riječi što vam je danas nalažem nemoj odstupati ni desno ni lijevo idući za drugim bogovima i iskazujući im štovanje.
[Yahweh will do all these things for you] if you do not turn away from [obeying] what I am commanding you today, and if you never worship or serve other gods.
15 Ali ako ne budeš slušao glasa Jahve, Boga svoga, ne držeći i ne vršeći svih njegovih zapovijedi i svih njegovih zakona što ti ih danas naređujem, sva će ova prokletstva doći na te i stići će te:
But if you do not do what Yahweh our God is telling you to do, and if you do not faithfully obey all his rules and regulations that I am giving to you today, this is what he will do to curse you:
16 Proklet ćeš biti u gradu, proklet u polju.
He will curse you when you are in the cities and he will curse you when you are [working] in the fields.
17 Proklet će biti koš tvoj i naćve tvoje.
He will curse you by not allowing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
18 Proklet će biti plod utrobe tvoje i rod zemlje tvoje, mlad krava tvojih i priraštaj stada tvoga.
He will curse you by giving you only a few children [IDM], by causing you to have poor crops, and by not enabling you to have many cattle and sheep.
19 Proklet ćeš biti kad ulaziš, proklet kad izlaziš.
He will curse you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
20 Jahve će na te puštati prokletstvo, zabunu i kletvu u svemu na što pružiš ruku svoju da uradiš, sve dok ne budeš satrt i brzo ne propadneš zbog zloće svojih djela kojima si me napustio.
If you do evil things and reject Yahweh, he will curse you by causing you to (be confused/not know what to do), and to be frustrated in everything that you do, until [your enemies] quickly and completely destroy you {you will be quickly and completely destroyed}.
21 Kugu će Jahve za te privezati dok te ne nestane sa zemlje u koju ideš da je zaposjedneš.
Yahweh will cause you to experience terrible diseases, until not one of you remains alive in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
22 Jahve će te udariti sušicom, groznicom, upalom, žegom i sušom, medljikom i snijeti; to će te goniti dok te ne nestane.
Yahweh will strike/afflict you with diseases that shrivel your bodies, with fever, with inflammation/swelling. It will be extremely hot, and it will not rain. There will be scorching winds, and [Yahweh will cause] your crops to rot. All these things will strike you until you die.
23 Nebesa nad tvojom glavom postat će mjedena, a tlo pod tvojim nogama postat će gvozdeno.
There will be no rain [MET], [with the result that] the ground will be [as hard as] iron [MET].
24 Kišu tvoje zemlje Jahve će pretvarati u pijesak i prašinu da na te pada s nebesa dok te ne uništi.
Instead of sending rain, Yahweh will send strong winds to blow sand and dust over your land, until your land is ruined.
25 Jahve će od tebe učiniti pobijeđenoga pred tvojim neprijateljima; jednim ćeš putem prema njima izlaziti, a na sedam putova bježat ćeš ispred njih. Strašilo ćeš postati za sva zemaljska kraljevstva.
Yahweh will enable your enemies to defeat you; your soldiers will attack your enemies from one direction, but they will run away from your enemies in seven/many directions, and when the people of other nations see what is happening to you, they will say that it is horrible.
26 I mrtvo tijelo tvoje postat će hranom svim pticama nebeskim i svoj zvjeradi zemaljskoj. Nikoga neće biti da ih plaši.
[You will die], and birds and wild animals will come and eat your corpses, and there will not be anyone to scare/shoo them away.
27 Jahve će te udarati egipatskim prištevima, čirevima, krastama i svrabom, od kojih se nećeš moći izliječiti.
Yahweh will cause you to have boils on your skin, like he caused the people of Egypt to have [many years ago]. He will cause you to have tumors, open sores, and your skin will itch, and there will be nothing that will cure those diseases.
28 Jahve će te udarati bjesnilom, sljepoćom i ludilom;
Yahweh will cause [some of] you to become insane; he will cause some of you to become blind, and he will cause [some of] your minds to become confused.
29 u po bijela dana tumarat ćeš kao što tumara slijepac po mraku; nećeš imati uspjeha u svojim pothvatima; sve vrijeme svoje bit ćeš izrabljivan i pljačkan, a neće biti nikoga da te spasi.
[Because you will not be able to see where you are going], at midday you will (grope/feel your way) around with your hands, like people do in the darkness. You will continually be oppressed and robbed, and no one will help you.
30 Sa ženom ćeš se zaručivati, ali će je drugi posjedovati. Kuću ćeš graditi, ali u njoj nećeš stanovati. Vinograd ćeš zasađivati, ali ga nećeš brati.
Some of you men will be engaged/promised to marry a young woman, but someone else will rape her. You will build houses, but you will never live in them. You will plant grapevines, but you will not eat the grapes; [someone else will eat them].
31 Tvoga će vola na tvoje oči zaklati, ali ti od njega nećeš jesti; tvoga će magarca ispred tebe otimati, ali ti ga neće vraćati; stado će tvoje neprijatelju tvome predavati, a neće biti nikoga da ti pritekne u pomoć.
Your enemies will butcher your cattle while you watch them, and you will not get any of the meat to eat. They will drag away your donkeys while you watch them do it, and they will not give them back to you. They will take away your sheep; and no one will help you [rescue them].
32 Sinovi tvoji i kćeri tvoje bit će predavani drugome narodu. Oči će tvoje svaki dan kapati gledajući za njima, ali ruka tvoja neće moći ništa.
While you watch, your sons and daughters will be given to foreigners to become their slaves. Every day you will very sadly watch for your children to return, but (you will watch in vain/they will never return).
33 Narod koji i ne poznaješ jest će plod sa zemlje tvoje i svu muku tvoju, dok ćeš ti sve vrijeme svoje biti izrabljivan i gažen.
People from a foreign nation will take all the crops that you worked hard to produce, and they will constantly treat you harshly and cruelly [DOU].
34 Ludovat ćeš od prizora što će ih oči tvoje gledati.
The result will be that all these terrible things that you see/experience will cause you to become insane.
35 Jahve će te udarati ljutim prištevima po koljenima i po stegnima - od stopala nogu tvojih do tjemena na glavi tvojoj - od kojih se nećeš moći izliječiti.
Yahweh will cause your legs [to be covered with] painful boils that cannot be healed, and you will have boils from the bottoms of your feet to the tops of your heads.
36 Jahve će odvesti i tebe i tvoga kralja, koga budeš postavio nad sobom, među narod nepoznat i tebi i tvojim ocima te ćeš ondje iskazivati štovanje drugim bogovima, drvenim i kamenim.
Yahweh will cause your king and the rest of you to be taken to another country, to a place in which you and your ancestors have never lived before, and there you will worship and serve gods that are made of wood or stone.
37 Bit ćeš na zgražanje, porugu i ruglo svim narodima među koje te Jahve odvede.
When the people-groups in nearby countries see what has happened to you, they will be shocked/horrified; they will make fun [DOU] of you.
38 Mnogo ćeš sjemena bacati u polje, ali ćeš malo žeti jer će ti urod skakavci ogolijevati.
You will plant plenty of seeds in your fields, but you will reap only a small harvest, because locusts will eat the crops.
39 Vinograde ćeš saditi i obrađivati, ali vina nećeš piti niti ćeš što brati jer će ih crv izjedati.
You will plant grapevines and take care of them, but you will not pick any grapes to make wine, because worms will eat the vines.
40 Imat ćeš masline po svemu svome području, ali se uljem nećeš mazati jer će ti masline opadati.
Olive trees will grow everywhere in your land, but you will not get any olive oil to rub on your skin because the olives will drop [on the ground before they are ripe].
41 Sinove ćeš i kćeri rađati, ali tvoji neće biti jer će u sužanjstvo odlaziti.
You will have sons and daughters, but they will not stay with you, because they will be captured and taken away.
42 Sva tvoja stabla i rod sa zemlje tvoje postat će plijenom kukaca.
Swarms of locusts/insects will eat your crops and [the leaves of] all your trees.
43 Došljak koji bude u sredini tvojoj uzdizat će se nada te, a ti ćeš padati sve niže i niže.
Foreigners who live in your land will become more and more [powerful], and you will become less and less [powerful].
44 On će uzaimati tebi, a ne ti njemu; on će biti glava, a ti rep.
They will [have money to] lend to you, but you will not [have any money to] lend to them. They will be superior [IDM] to you, and you will be inferior to them [IDM].
45 Sva će te ova prokletstva snalaziti, progoniti i doseći dok te ne unište, jer nisi slušao glasa Jahve, Boga svoga, ni držao zapovijedi njegovih i zakona njegovih koje ti je dao.
“You will experience all these disasters, and you will continue to experience them you until you are destroyed, if you do not do what Yahweh your God told you to do, and do not obey all the rules and regulations that he gave to you.
46 Ona će služiti za čudesni znak na tebi i tvome potomstvu zauvijek.
“These disasters will warn [DOU] you and your descendants forever [about what happens to groups who disobey Yahweh].
47 Budući da nisi htio služiti Jahvi, Bogu svome, vesela i radosna srca zbog obilja svega,
“Because Yahweh blessed you abundantly in many ways, you should have served him very joyfully [DOU], but you did not do that.
48 služit ćeš neprijatelju svome, koga će Jahve poslati na te, u gladu i žeđi, golotinji i oskudici svakoj. Na tvoju će šiju navaljivati jaram od gvožđa dok te ne satre.
“Therefore, you will work for the enemies whom Yahweh will send to attack you. You will be hungry and thirsty; you will not have clothes to wear; and you will lack everything else that you need. And Yahweh will cause you to become slaves [MET] and work hard until he gets rid of you.
49 Jahve će iz daljine, s kraja zemlje, dovesti na te narod koji će sletjeti kao orao. Bit će to narod kojemu jezika nećeš razumjeti;
“Yahweh will cause an army from very far away [HYP] to attack you, whose soldiers speak a language that you do not know/understand. They will swoop down on you [quickly] like an eagle [SIM] attacks its prey.
50 narod bezdušan, koji neće pokazivati obzira prema starima ni smilovanja prema mladima.
They will be fierce looking. They will not act mercifully toward anyone, not even young children and old people.
51 On će ti jesti mlado od tvoga blaga i rod tvoje njive dok te ne uništi; neće ti ostavljati ni žita, ni vina, ni ulja, ni mlado od krave, ni priraštaj od stada, sve dok te ne upropasti.
They will [kill and] eat your livestock, and they will eat your crops, and you will (starve/die because you do not have anything to eat). They will not leave for you any grain or wine or [olive] oil or cattle or sheep; and you will all die [from hunger].
52 Opsjedat će te u svim tvojim gradovima širom zemlje tvoje dok ne obori visoke i utvrđene bedeme u koje si polagao nadu svoju; opsjednut će te u svim gradovima tvojim širom zemlje tvoje koju ti dadne Jahve, Bog tvoj.
Your enemies will surround your towns throughout the land that Yahweh your God is about to give to you, and they will break down the high and strong walls [around your towns], walls which you trusted/thought would protect you.
53 U tjeskobi i jadu, kojima će te neprijatelj tvoj pritisnuti, jest ćeš plod utrobe svoje - meso sinova svojih i kćeri svojih koje ti dadne Jahve, Bog tvoj.
“When your enemies are surrounding [your towns], you will be extremely hungry, with the result that you will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters that Yahweh your God has given to you.
54 Čovjek najnježniji i najmekši u tebe zlobnim će okom gledati na vlastitog brata, ženu u svome naručju i djecu svoju što mu preostanu,
When your enemies have surrounded your towns, even the most gentle and sensitive men among you will want food very desperately, with the result that they will [kill their own children and] eat their flesh, because they will not have anything else to eat. They will not even share any of it with their brothers or wives whom they love very much or with any of their children who are still alive.
55 ne hoteći ni s jednim od njih dijeliti mesa sinova svojih koje bude jeo, jer zbog tjeskobe i jada, kojima će te neprijatelj tvoj pritiskati po svim gradovima tvojim, drugo mu neće preostajati.
56 I žena najnježnija i najmekša što bude u tebe - toliko nježna i tankoćutna da se ne usuđuje spustiti stopala na zemlju - zlobnim će okom gledati na muža u svome naručju, i na sina svoga, i na kćer svoju,
Even the most gentle and sensitive/kind women among you, who are very refined/rich with the result that they have never had to walk anywhere [HYP], will do the same thing. When your enemies have surrounded your towns, those women will be extremely hungry, with the result that after they give birth to a baby, they will secretly [kill it and] eat its flesh and also eat its afterbirth. And they will not share any of it with their husbands whom they love very much or with any of their other children.
57 i na posteljicu svoju što joj iziđe između nogu, i na djecu što ih ima roditi, jer će ih potajno jesti, oskudna u svemu, zbog nevolje i jada kojim će te neprijatelj tvoj pritisnuti po svim gradovima tvojim.
58 Ako ne budeš držao i vršio riječi ovoga Zakona što su napisane u ovoj knjizi, ne poštujući ovo slavno i strašno Ime - Jahvu, Boga svoga -
“If you do not faithfully obey all of the laws that I am writing, and if you do not revere Yahweh our glorious God [MTY],
59 Jahve će tebe i tvoje potomstvo teško ošinuti velikim i dugotrajnim bičevima, pogubnim i dugim bolestima.
he will [punish you by] causing you and your descendants to experience great afflictions and plagues which will last for many years.
60 Pustit će na te sva zla egipatska kojih si se plašio, i ona će se prilijepiti za te.
He will cause you to experience the plagues that he sent on the people of Egypt, and you will never be healed.
61 A i svaku drugu bolest i bič, koji nije naveden u knjizi ovoga Zakona, Jahve će na te puštati dok te ne uništi.
He will also cause you to experience many other sicknesses and diseases that I have not talked about in these laws, until you all will die.
62 Ostat će vas samo malo, vas što brojni bijaste kao zvijezde nebeske, a sve zato što nisi slušao glasa Jahve, Boga svoga.
You became as numerous as the stars in the sky, but only a few of you will remain alive, if you do not obey Yahweh your God.
63 Kako se Jahve nad vama radovao usrećujući vas i množeći, tako će se Jahve radovati nad vama rušeći vas i uništavajući da se iskorijenite sa zemlje u koju idete da je zaposjednete.
Yahweh was very happy to do good things for you and to cause you to become very numerous, but now he will be happy to ruin you and get rid of you. [Those of] you [who do not die from these plagues] will be snatched away from the land that you will soon be entering to possess.
64 Jahve će vas razbacati po svim narodima, s kraja na kraj zemlje; ondje ćeš iskazivati štovanje drugim bogovima: drvenim i kamenim - koji su bili nepoznati i tebi i tvojim ocima.
“Yahweh will scatter you among many people-groups, all over the earth, and in those areas/places you will serve other gods that are made of wood or stone, gods which you and your ancestors have never known/worshiped.
65 Ali među tim narodima nećeš imati mira; ni tvome stopalu neće biti počivališta, nego će ti ondje Jahve dati srce uznemireno, oči utonule, dušu tjeskobnu.
In those places you will be restless. Yahweh will cause you to be constantly worried/anxious, feel hopeless, and discouraged.
66 Život tvoj visjet će o niti; bojat ćeš se i danju i noću i nećeš biti siguran za život svoj.
You will always be afraid that your enemies will kill you. You will be very fearful, all day and all night.
67 U strahu koji će ti stezati srce i od prizora što će ga oči tvoje gledati, jutrom ćeš govoriti: 'Oh, da je već večer!' a navečer ćeš govoriti: 'Oh, da je već jutro!'
Because you will be very fearful/afraid because of the [terrible] things that you see, each morning you will say ‘I wish it were evening already!’ and each evening you will say ‘I wish it were morning already!’
68 U Egipat će te na galijama natrag odvesti Jahve putem za koji sam ti rekao da ga više ne smiješ vidjeti. Ondje ćete se vi sami prodavati svojim neprijateljima za robove i ropkinje, ali neće biti kupca.”
Yahweh will send [some of] you back to Egypt in ships, even though he promised that you would never [be forced to] go there again. There in Egypt you will try to sell yourselves to become slaves of your enemies [in order to have food to eat], but no one will buy you. [All those things will happen to you if you do not obey the laws that Yahweh is giving to you].”
