Ponovljeni zakon 3

1 Tada se okrenusmo i pođosmo prema Bašanu. Presrete nas bašanski kralj Og sa svim svojim narodom i nametnu nam boj kod Edreja.

“And so, having turned back, we ascended by the way of Bashan. And Og, the king of Bashan, went forth with his people to meet us in warfare at Edrei.

2 Tada mi Jahve reče: 'Ne boj ga se! TÓa u tvoje sam ruke predao njega, sav njegov narod i njegovu zemlju. Učini s njim kako si učinio sa Sihonom, kraljem amorejskim, koji je živio u Hešbonu.'

And the Lord said to me: ‘You should not fear him. For he has been delivered into your hand, with all his people as well as his land. And you shall do to him just as you have done to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’

3 Tako je Jahve, Bog naš, u ruke naše predao i bašanskoga kralja Oga sa svim njegovim narodom. Tukli smo ga tako da mu nitko na životu nije ostao.

Therefore, the Lord our God delivered into our hands, now Og, the king of Bashan, and all his people. And we struck them down unto utter annihilation,

4 Osvojili smo tada sve njegove gradove. Nije bilo grada koji im nismo oteli - šezdeset gradova, zapravo svu argopsku krajinu, Ogovo kraljevstvo u Bašanu.

laying waste to all his cities at one time. There was not a village which escaped from us: sixty cities, the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og, in Bashan.

5 Svi su oni gradovi bili utvrđeni visokim zidinama, vratima i prijevornicama. Uz njih je bilo veoma mnogo otvorenih zaselaka.

All the cities were fortified with very high walls, and with gates and bars, in addition to innumerable villages which had no walls.

6 Udarismo ih prokletstvom - kako smo učinili i sa Sihonom, kraljem hešbonskim - zatrvši svaki grad, ljude, žene i djecu.

And we wiped them out, just as we had done to Sihon, the king of Heshbon, destroying every city, and its men, as well as women and children.

7 A svu stoku i plijen po tim gradovima zadržasmo za se.

But the cattle and the spoils of the cities, we plundered.

8 Tako smo u ono vrijeme iz ruku dvaju amorejskih kraljeva uzeli zemlju što se nalazi s onu stranu Jordana, od potoka Arnona do brda Hermona (

And at that time, we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites, who were across the Jordan: from the torrent Arnon as far as Mount Hermon,

9 Sidonci zovu Hermon Sirjon, a Amorejci ga zovu Senir):

which the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites call Senir,

10 sve gradove po Visoravni, sav Gilead i sav Bašan, sve do Salke i Edreja - gradove Ogova kraljevstva u Bašanu. (

all the cities that are situated in the plain, and the entire land of Gilead and Bashan, all the way to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

11 Bašanski kralj Og jedini je od preostalih Refaimovaca. Krevet njegov, odar od željeza, još se nalazi u Rabi, gradu sinova Amonovih: deset je lakata - običnih lakata - dug, a četiri lakta širok.)

For only Og, the king of Bashan, was left behind out of the race of the giants. His bed of iron is on display, (it is in Rabbah, among the sons of Ammon) being nine cubits in length, and four in width, according to the measure of the cubit of a man’s hand.

12 To je, dakle, bila zemlja koju smo zauzeli u ono vrijeme, počev od Aroera, koji je na potoku Arnonu. Polovicu gileadskog pogorja s njegovim gradovima dao sam Rubenovcima i Gadovcima.

And we possessed the land, at that time, from Aroer, which is above the bank of the torrent Arnon, as far as the middle of Mount Gilead. And I gave its cities to Ruben and Gad.

13 Ostatak Gileada i sav Bašan, Ogovo kraljevstvo, dodijelio sam polovini Manašeova plemena. (Sva argopska krajina i sav Bašan zove se zemlja refaimska.

Then I delivered the remaining part of Gilead, and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, which is the entire region of Argob, to one half of the tribe of Manasseh. And all of Bashan is called the land of the giants.

14 Manašeov sin Jair zauzeo je svu argopsku krajinu do međe Gešurovaca i Maakinovaca. On ta mjesta bašanska nazva svojim imenom, pa se još i danas zovu Jairova Sela.)

Jair, the son of Manasseh, possessed all the region of Argob, as far as the borders of Geshur and Maacath. And he called Bashan by his own name, Havvoth Jair, that is, the villages of Jair, even to the present day.

15 Makiru sam dodijelio Gilead.

Likewise, to Machir, I gave Gilead.

16 Rubenovcima i Gadovcima dao sam od Gileada do potoka Arnona - sredina potoka jest međa - i do potoka Jaboka, amonske granice.

And to the tribes of Ruben and Gad, I gave from the land of Gilead as far as the torrent Arnon, one half of the torrent and its confines, even to the torrent Jabbok, which is along the border of the sons of Ammon,

17 A granicom su služile Araba i Jordan od Kinereta do mora uz Arabu - Slanog mora - na podnožju obronaka Pisge prema istoku.

and the plain of the wilderness, as well as the Jordan, and the borders of Chinnereth, all the way to the sea of the desert, which is very salty, to the base of Mount Pisgah toward the east.

18 U ono vam vrijeme naredih: 'Jahve, Bog vaš, daje vam ovu zemlju u posjed. Svi vi koji ste od boja pođite naoružani pred svojom braćom Izraelcima.

And I instructed you at that time, saying: ‘The Lord your God gives to you this land as an inheritance. Having armed yourselves, go before your brothers, the sons of Israel, all you strong men.

19 Jedino žene vaše, djeca vaša i stoka vaša - znam da imate mnogo stoke - neka ostanu u vašim gradovima što vam ih dodijelih

Leave behind your wives and little ones, as well as the cattle. For I know that you have many cattle, and they should remain in the cities which I have delivered to you,

20 dokle Jahve ne dadne miran boravak i vašoj braći kao i vama; tako da i oni zauzmu zemlju što im je Jahve, Bog vaš, daje s onu stranu Jordana. Istom onda neka se svaki od vas vrati na posjed što sam vam ga dodijelio.'

until the Lord provides rest to your brothers, just as he has provided for you. And they, too, shall possess the land, which he will give to them beyond the Jordan. Then each one shall return to his possession, which I have allotted to you.’

21 U ono sam vrijeme naredio Jošui: 'Svojim si očima vidio što je sve Jahve, Bog vaš, učinio onoj dvojici kraljeva. Tako će Jahve učiniti sa svim kraljevstvima preko kojih budeš prelazio.

Likewise, I instructed Joshua at that time, saying: ‘Your eyes have seen what the Lord your God has done to these two kings. So also will he do to all the kingdoms through which you shall pass.

22 Ne bojte se njih! TÓa Jahve, Bog vaš, bori se za vas.'

You should not fear them. For the Lord your God will fight on your behalf.’

23 Tada zamolih milost u Jahve:

And I beseeched the Lord at that time, saying:

24 'Gospodine moj, Jahve! Ti si počeo pokazivati svome sluzi svoju veličajnost i svoju moć. TÓa koji bog, na nebu ili na zemlji, može izvesti takva djela i čudesa kao što su tvoja!

‘Lord God, you have begun to reveal your greatness and your very strong hand to your servant. For there is no other god, either in heaven or on earth, who is able to accomplish your works, or to be compared to your strength.

25 Dopusti mi da odem onamo i pogledam onu blaženu zemlju preko Jordana, onaj krasni gorski kraj i Libanon!'

Therefore, I will cross over, and I will view this excellent land beyond the Jordan, and this singular mountain, and Lebanon.’

26 Ali je Jahve, zbog vas, bio na me ljut, pa me nije uslišao. 'Dosta', reče mi Jahve, 'ne govori mi više o tom!

And the Lord became angry with me because of you, and he would not heed me. But he said to me: ‘It is enough for you. You shall no longer speak to me at all about this matter.

27 Popni se na vrhunac Pisge i upri oči svoje na zapad, sjever, jug i istok. Razmotri dobro očima svojim, jer preko Jordana nećeš prijeći.

Ascend to the summit of Pisgah, and look around with your eyes to the west, and to the north, and to the south, and to the east, and behold it. For you shall not cross this Jordan.

28 Uputi Jošuu, osokoli ga i ohrabri! On neka ide na čelu ovoga naroda; neka ih on uvede u posjed zemlje koju vidiš.'

Instruct Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him. For he shall go before this people, and he shall distribute to them the land that you will see.’

29 Tako smo ostali u toj dolini kraj Bet Peora.”

And we remained in the valley, opposite the shrine of Peor.”
