Ponovljeni zakon 31
1 Mojsije dođe da upravi ove riječi svemu Izraelu:
So Moses said all these things to Israel.
2 “Meni je danas sto dvadeset godina”, - reče im. “Ne mogu više izlaziti i ulaziti. A Jahve mi je rekao: 'Nećeš prijeći ovog Jordana!'
Then he said to them, I am now a hundred and twenty years old; I am no longer able to go out and come in: and the Lord has said to me, You are not to go over Jordan.
3 Sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, pred tobom će prijeći; on će pred tobom potući one narode da ih otjerate s posjeda. Jošua će pred tobom ići, kako je Jahve rekao.
The Lord your God, he will go over before you; he will send destruction on all those nations, and you will take their land as your heritage: and Joshua will go over at your head as the Lord has said.
4 Jahve će postupiti s njima kako je postupio sa Sihonom i Ogom, amorejskim kraljevima, i njihovom zemljom kad ih uništi.
The Lord will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, whom he put to destruction.
5 Pred vas će ih Jahve položiti, a vi ćete s njima postupati prema svim naredbama koje sam vam dao.
The Lord will give them up into your hands, and you are to do to them as I have given you orders.
6 Ohrabrite se i budite odlučni! Ne bojte se i nemojte prÓedati pred njima. TÓa sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, ide s tobom; neće te zapustiti niti će te ostaviti.”
Be strong and take heart, and have no fear of them: for it is the Lord your God who is going with you; he will not take away his help from you.
7 Tada Mojsije zovnu Jošuu pa mu reče pred svim Izraelom: “Ohrabri se i budi odlučan! Jer ti ćeš ići s ovim narodom u zemlju za koju se Jahve zakle ocima njihovim da će im je dati; ti ćeš im je predavati u baštinu.
Then Moses sent for Joshua, and before the eyes of all Israel said to him, Be strong and take heart: for you are to go with this people into the land which the Lord, by his oath to their fathers, has given them; by your help they will take it for their heritage.
8 Sam Jahve ide pred tobom; on će s tobom biti; neće te zapustiti niti će te ostaviti. Ne boj se i ne dršći!”
It is the Lord who goes before you; he will be with you, he will not take away his help from you or give you up: so have no fear.
9 Mojsije napisa ovaj Zakon i predade ga svećenicima, sinovima Levijevim, koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina, i svim izraelskim starješinama.
Then Moses put all this law in writing, and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who take up the ark of the Lord's agreement, and to all the responsible men of Israel.
10 Mojsije im naredi: “Svake sedme godine - godine oprosne - na Blagdan sjenica,
And Moses said to them, At the end of every seven years, at the time fixed for the ending of debts, at the feast of tents,
11 kad dođe sav Izrael da vidi lice Jahve, Boga tvoga, na mjestu koje on odabere, pročitaj ovaj Zakon u nazočnosti svega Izraela.
When all Israel has come before the Lord your God in the place named by him, let a reading be given of this law in the hearing of all Israel.
12 Saberi narod - ljude, žene, djecu i došljaka što bude u tvojim gradovima - da čuju i da nauče bojati se Jahve, Boga vašega, pa da drže i vrše sve riječi ovog Zakona.
Make all the people come together, men and women and children, and anyone from another country who is with you, so that hearing they may become wise in the fear of the Lord your God, and take care to do all the words of this law;
13 Sinovi njihovi, koji to još ne znaju, čut će i naučit će bojati se Jahve, Boga vašega, sve vrijeme dok budete živjeli na zemlji što ćete je, prešavši Jordan, zaposjesti.”
And so that your children, to whom it is new, may give ear and be trained in the fear of the Lord your God, while you are living in the land which you are going over Jordan to take for your heritage.
14 Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Evo se bliži vrijeme tvoje smrti. Zovni Jošuu i nađite se u Šatoru sastanka da mu dam zapovijedi.” Mojsije i Jošua dođu u Šator sastanka.
At that time the Lord said to Moses, The day of your death is near: send for Joshua, and come to the Tent of meeting so that I may give him his orders. So Moses and Joshua went to the Tent of meeting.
15 U Šatoru pokaže se Jahve u stupu od oblaka. Stup od oblaka stajao je na ulazu u Šator.
And the Lord was seen in the Tent in a pillar of cloud resting by the door of the Tent.
16 Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Evo ćeš naskoro počinuti sa svojim ocima. A narod će se ovaj dići da čini blud idući za tuđim bogovima one zemlje u koju će naskoro ući; mene će napustiti i prekršit će moj Savez što ga s njim sklopih.
And the Lord said to Moses, Now you are going to rest with your fathers; and this people will be false to me, uniting themselves to the strange gods of the land where they are going; they will be turned away from me and will not keep the agreement I have made with them.
17 I onda će se izliti moj gnjev na nj. Ostavit ću ih tada i sakriti od njih svoje lice da budu proždirani. Snaći će ih mnoga zla i nevolje i onda će reći: 'Zar me ne snalaze ove nevolje zbog toga što Bog moj nije u mojoj sredini?'
In that day my wrath will be moved against them, and I will be turned away from them, veiling my face from them, and destruction will overtake them, and unnumbered evils and troubles will come on them; so that in that day they will say, Have not these evils come on us because our God is not with us?
18 A ja ću sasvim sakriti svoje lice u taj dan, zbog svega zla što ga budu činili okrećući se drugim bogovima.
Truly, my face will be turned away from them in that day, because of all the evil they have done in going after other gods.
19 Pišite sada sebi ovu pjesmu. Neka je nauče Izraelci! Stavi je u njihova usta da mi ova pjesma bude svjedokom protiv Izraelaca.
Make then this song for yourselves, teaching it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, so that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
20 Kad ih dovedem u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko i za koju se zakleh ocima njihovim i kad se najedu, nasite i ugoje, okrenut će se oni drugim bogovima i njima će iskazivati štovanje; mene će prezreti i prekršiti moj Savez.
For when I have taken them into the land named in my oath to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey, and they have made themselves full of food and are fat, then they will be turned to other gods and will give them worship, no longer honouring me or keeping my agreement.
21 A kad ih snađu mnoge nesreće i nevolje, ova pjesma, jer je njihovo potomstvo neće nikada zaboraviti, pružit će svjedočanstvo protiv njih. Jer znam ja njihove osnove i što već danas snuju, prije nego sam ih i doveo u zemlju koju im pod zakletvom obećah.”
Then when evils and troubles without number have overtaken them, this song will be a witness to them, for the words of it will be clear in the memories of their children: for I see the thoughts which are moving in their hearts even now, before I have taken them into the land of my oath.
22 Toga dana napisa Mojsije ovu pjesmu i nauči Izraelce pjesmi.
So that same day Moses made this song, teaching it to the children of Israel.
23 Nunovu sinu Jošui naloži: “Ohrabri se i budi odlučan! Jer ti ćeš uvesti Izraelce u zemlju za koju sam im se zakleo. I ja ću biti s tobom.”
Then he gave orders to Joshua, the son of Nun, saying to him, Be strong and take heart: for you are to go at the head of the children of Israel into the land which I made an oath to give them; and I will be with you.
24 Kad Mojsije napisa riječi ovoga Zakona u knjigu,
Now after writing all the words of this law in a book till the record of them was complete,
25 tada naredi Levijevcima, koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina:
Moses said to the Levites who were responsible for taking up the ark of the Lord's agreement,
26 “Uzmite knjigu ovoga Zakona i položite je uz Kovčeg saveza Jahvina. Neka ondje bude svjedokom protiv tebe!
Take this book of the law and put it by the ark of the Lord's agreement, so that it may be a witness against you.
27 TÓa znam ja tvoju buntovnost i tvoju tvrdu šiju. Evo i danas, dok još s vama živim, bunite se protiv Jahve. A kako li nećete kad ja umrem!
For I have knowledge of your hard and uncontrolled hearts: even now, while I am still living, you will not be ruled by the Lord; how much less after my death?
28 Saberite k meni sve starješine svojih plemena i svoje nadglednike da na njihove uši kažem ove riječi te da protiv njih uzmem za svjedoke nebo i zemlju.
Get together before me all those who are in authority in your tribes, and your overseers, so that I may say these things in their hearing, and make heaven and earth my witnesses against them.
29 Jer znam ja da ćete se nakon moje smrti izopačiti i skrenuti s puta koji sam vam odredio; nesreća će vas snaći u budućim vremenima kad budete činili što je Jahvi nemilo i gnjevili ga djelima ruku svojih.”
For I am certain that after my death you will give yourselves up to sin, wandering from the way which I have given you; and evil will overtake you in the end, because you will do evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath by the work of your hands.
30 A onda, na uši sve zajednice izraelske, Mojsije izgovori do kraja riječi ove pjesme:
Then in the hearing of all the meeting of Israel, Moses said the words of this song, to the end.
