Ponovljeni zakon 29

1 To su riječi Saveza što ga propisa Jahve Mojsiju da ga sklopi s Izraelcima u zemlji moapskoj, povrh Saveza što ga je s njima sklopio na Horebu.

These are the words of the agreement which Moses was ordered by the Lord to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the agreement which he made with them in Horeb.

2 Mojsije sazva sav Izrael pa im reče: “Vidjeli ste na rođene oči sve što je Jahve učinio u zemlji egipatskoj faraonu, svim službenicima njegovim i svoj zemlji njegovoj:

And Moses said in the hearing of all Israel, You have seen all the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his servants and all his land;

3 velike kušnje što su ih vidjele tvoje oči, silne znakove i čudesa!

The great tests which your eyes saw, and the signs and wonders:

4 Ali vam ne dade Jahve do danas razuma da shvatite, očiju da vidite ni ušiju da čujete.

But even to this day the Lord has not given you a mind open to knowledge, or seeing eyes or hearing ears.

5 Vodio sam vas pustinjom četrdeset godina; odjeća se na vama nije izderala niti su se sandale na vašim nogama raskidale.

For forty years I have been your guide through the waste land: your clothing has not become old on your backs, or your shoes on your feet.

6 Kruha niste jeli; vina ni drugoga opojnog pića niste pili, da biste znali da sam ja Jahve, Bog vaš.

You have had no bread, or wine, or strong drink: so that you might see that I am the Lord your God.

7 Kad stigoste na novo mjesto, Sihon, kralj hešbonski, i Og, kralj bašanski, iziđoše pred nas u boj, ali smo ih potukli.

When you came to this place, Sihon, king of Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, came out to make war against us and we overcame them:

8 Zauzeli smo njihovu zemlju te je predali u baštinu Rubenovcima, Gadovcima i polovini plemena Manašeova.

And we took their land and gave it to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for their heritage.

9 Držite i vršite riječi ovog Saveza da uspijevate u svemu što poduzmete.

So keep the words of this agreement and do them, so that it may be well for you in everything you do.

10 Danas stojite svi pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim: vaši plemenski glavari, vaše starješine i vaši nadglednici, svi muževi Izraela,

You have come here today, all of you, before the Lord your God; the heads of your tribes, the overseers, and those who are in authority over you, with all the men of Israel,

11 djeca vaša, žene vaše i došljak koji je u tvome taboru - od onoga koji ti siječe drva do onoga koji ti nosi vodu -

And your little ones, your wives, and the men of other lands who are with you in your tents, down to the wood-cutter and the servant who gets water for you:

12 da stupite u Savez s Jahvom, Bogom svojim, u Savez zakletvom potvrđen, što ga Jahve, Bog tvoj, danas s tobom sklapa

With the purpose of taking part in the agreement of the Lord your God, and his oath which he makes with you today:

13 da danas od tebe učini svoj narod i da ti on bude Bog, kako ti je rekao i kako se zakleo tvojim ocima: Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu.

And so that he may make you his people today, and be your God, as he has said to you, and as he made an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

14 I ne sklapam danas ovaj Savez sa zakletvom samo s vama

And not with you only do I make this agreement and this oath;

15 nego i sa svakim koji danas stoji ovdje s nama pred Jahvom, Bogom našim, i sa svakim koji danas nije ovdje s nama.

But with everyone who is here with us today before the Lord our God, as well as with those who are not here:

16 Sami znate kako smo boravili u zemlji egipatskoj i kako smo prošli posred naroda kroz koje ste morali proći.

(For you have in mind how we were living in the land of Egypt; and how we came through all the nations which were on your way;

17 Vidjeli ste njihove rugobe, njihove kumire od drveta i kamena, srebra i zlata što ih imaju.

And you have seen their disgusting doings, and the images of wood and stone and silver and gold which were among them: )

18 Neka ne bude među vama čovjeka ni žene, roda ni plemena kojemu bi se srce danas odvratilo od Jahve, Boga našega, pa da ide iskazivati štovanje bogovima onih naroda. Neka ne bude među vama korijena koji rađa otrovom i pelinom.

So that there may not be among you any man or woman or family or tribe whose heart is turned away from the Lord our God today, to go after other gods and give them worship; or any root among you whose fruit is poison and bitter sorrow;

19 Neka se nitko, čuvši riječi ovog prokletstva, ne nada blagoslovu kazujući u svome srcu: 'Bit će mi dobro ako poživim i po prohtjevima srca svoga. Nek' povodanj utaži žeđ!'

If such a man, hearing the words of this oath, takes comfort in the thought that he will have peace even if he goes on in the pride of his heart, taking whatever chance may give him:

20 Takvome neće Jahve nikad oprostiti, nego će se gnjev i ljubomornost Jahvina izliti na tog čovjeka, tako da će se sve prokletstvo zapisano u ovoj knjizi na nj oboriti te će Jahve izbrisati ime njegovo pod nebom.

The Lord will have no mercy on him, but the wrath of the Lord will be burning against that man, and all the curses recorded in this book will be waiting for him, and the Lord will take away his name completely from the earth.

21 Prema svim prokletstvima ovog Saveza, zapisanima u knjizi ovoga Zakona, Jahve će ga odstraniti, na njegovu propast, od svih plemena izraelskih.

He will be marked out by the Lord, from all the tribes of Israel, for an evil fate, in keeping with all the curses of the agreement recorded in this book of the law.

22 Kasniji naraštaj, sinovi vaši poslije vas, i stranci koji dođu iz daleke zemlje, kad vide zla ove zemlje i bolesti što će ih Jahve pustiti na nju, reći će:

And future generations, your children coming after you, and travellers from far countries, will say, when they see the punishments of that land and the diseases which the Lord has sent on it;

23 'Sva je zemlja njegova samo sumpor i sol; niti se što sije niti što klija; nikakva travka na njoj ne raste; jednaka je srušenoj Sodomi i Gomori, Admi i Sebojimu, što ih Jahve sruši u svojoj ljutini i gnjevu.'

And that all the land is a salt and smoking waste, not planted or giving fruit or clothed with grass, but wasted like Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, on which the Lord sent destruction in the heat of his wrath:

24 I svi će narodi pitati: 'Zašto učini Jahve ovako ovoj zemlji? Kakva je morala biti žestina toga silnoga gnjeva?'

Truly all the nations will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land? what is the reason for this great and burning wrath?

25 Onda će im se reći: 'Jer su ostavili Savez što ga je Jahve, Bog otaca njihovih, bio sklopio s njima kad ih je izveo iz zemlje egipatske;

Then men will say, Because they gave up the agreement of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he took them out of the land of Egypt:

26 i jer su otišli da iskazuju štovanje drugim bogovima i njima se klanjali, bogovima kojih nisu poznavali i kojih im on nije odredio.

And they went after other gods and gave them worship, gods who were strange to them, and whom he had not given them:

27 Zato se Jahvin gnjev izlio na ovu zemlju i palo na nju sve prokletstvo zapisano u ovoj knjizi.

And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against this land, to send on it all the curse recorded in this book:

28 Jahve ih je iščupao iz njihove zemlje u ljutini, srdžbi i velikom gnjevu te ih bacio u drugu zemlju. Tako je i danas.'

Rooting them out of their land, in the heat of his wrath and passion, and driving them out into another land, as at this day.

29 Što je sakriveno, pripada Jahvi, Bogu našemu, a objava nama i sinovima našim zauvijek da vršimo sve riječi ovoga Zakona.

The secret things are the Lord our God's: but the things which have been made clear are ours and our children's for ever, so that we may do all the words of this law.
