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 covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant 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:
Moses called to all Israel, and said to them: Your eyes have seen all that the LORD did in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;
3 velike kušnje što su ih vidjele tvoje oči, silne znakove i čudesa!
the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders.
4 Ali vam ne dade Jahve do danas razuma da shvatite, očiju da vidite ni ušiju da čujete.
But the LORD has not given you a heart to know, eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
5 Vodio sam vas pustinjom četrdeset godina; odjeća se na vama nije izderala niti su se sandale na vašim nogama raskidale.
I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not grown old on you, and your sandals have not grown old 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 not eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or strong drink, that you may know 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 the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we struck them.
8 Zauzeli smo njihovu zemlju te je predali u baštinu Rubenovcima, Gadovcima i polovini plemena Manašeova.
We took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of the Manassites.
9 Držite i vršite riječi ovog Saveza da uspijevate u svemu što poduzmete.
Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.
10 Danas stojite svi pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim: vaši plemenski glavari, vaše starješine i vaši nadglednici, svi muževi Izraela,
All of you stand today in the presence of the LORD your God: your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even 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 -
your little ones, your wives, and the foreigners who are in the middle of your camps, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water,
12 da stupite u Savez s Jahvom, Bogom svojim, u Savez zakletvom potvrđen, što ga Jahve, Bog tvoj, danas s tobom sklapa
that you may enter into the covenant of the LORD your God, and into his oath, which the LORD your God 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.
that he may establish you today as his people, and that he may be your God, as he spoke to you and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 I ne sklapam danas ovaj Savez sa zakletvom samo s vama
Neither do I make this covenant and this oath with you only,
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 those who stand here with us today before the LORD our God, and also with those who are not here with us today
16 Sami znate kako smo boravili u zemlji egipatskoj i kako smo prošli posred naroda kroz koje ste morali proći.
(for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the middle of the nations through which you passed;
17 Vidjeli ste njihove rugobe, njihove kumire od drveta i kamena, srebra i zlata što ih imaju.
and you have seen their abominations and their idols of wood, stone, silver, and gold, which were amongst 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.
lest there should be amongst you man, woman, family, or tribe whose heart turns away today from the LORD our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be amongst you a root that produces bitter poison;
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!'
and it happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, “I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart,” to destroy the moist with the dry.
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 not pardon him, but then the LORD’s anger and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book will fall on him, and the LORD will blot out his name from under the sky.
21 Prema svim prokletstvima ovog Saveza, zapisanima u knjizi ovoga Zakona, Jahve će ga odstraniti, na njegovu propast, od svih plemena izraelskih.
The LORD will set him apart for evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant written 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:
The generation to come—your children who will rise up after you, and the foreigner who will come from a far land—will say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses with which the LORD has made it sick,
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.'
that all of its land is sulphur, salt, and burning, that it is not sown, doesn’t produce, nor does any grass grow in it, like the overthrow of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath.
24 I svi će narodi pitati: 'Zašto učini Jahve ovako ovoj zemlji? Kakva je morala biti žestina toga silnoga gnjeva?'
Even all the nations will say, “Why has the LORD done this to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?”
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 abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought 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 went and served other gods and worshipped them, gods that they didn’t know and that he had not given to them.
27 Zato se Jahvin gnjev izlio na ovu zemlju i palo na nju sve prokletstvo zapisano u ovoj knjizi.
Therefore the LORD’s anger burnt against this land, to bring on it all the curses that are written 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.'
The LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and thrust them into another land, as it is today.”
29 Što je sakriveno, pripada Jahvi, Bogu našemu, a objava nama i sinovima našim zauvijek da vršimo sve riječi ovoga Zakona.
The secret things belong to the LORD our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
