Ponovljeni zakon 31
1 Mojsije dođe da upravi ove riječi svemu Izraelu:
Moses went and spoke these words to all 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!'
He said to them, “I am now one hundred twenty years old; I can no more go out and come in; Yahweh has said to me, 'You will not go over this 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.
Yahweh your God, he will go over before you; he will destroy these nations from before you, and you will dispossess them. Joshua, he will go over before you, as Yahweh has spoken.
4 Jahve će postupiti s njima kako je postupio sa Sihonom i Ogom, amorejskim kraljevima, i njihovom zemljom kad ih uništi.
Yahweh will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, which he destroyed.
5 Pred vas će ih Jahve položiti, a vi ćete s njima postupati prema svim naredbama koje sam vam dao.
Yahweh will give you victory over them when you meet them in battle, and you will do to them all that I commanded you.
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 of good courage, fear not, and do not be afraid of them; for Yahweh your God, he it is who goes with you; he will not fail you nor forsake 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.
Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and of good courage, for you will go with this people into the land that Yahweh has sworn to their ancestors to give them; you will cause them to inherit it.
8 Sam Jahve ide pred tobom; on će s tobom biti; neće te zapustiti niti će te ostaviti. Ne boj se i ne dršći!”
Yahweh, he it is who goes before you; he will be with you; he will not fail you nor abandon you; do not be afraid, do not be discouraged.”
9 Mojsije napisa ovaj Zakon i predade ga svećenicima, sinovima Levijevim, koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina, i svim izraelskim starješinama.
Moses wrote this law and gave it out to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh; he also gave copies of it to all the elders of Israel.
10 Mojsije im naredi: “Svake sedme godine - godine oprosne - na Blagdan sjenica,
Moses commanded them and said, “At the end of every seven years, at the time fixed for the cancellation of debts, during the Festival of Shelters,
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 to appear before Yahweh your God in the place that he will choose for his sanctuary, you will read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
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.
Assemble the people, the men, the women, and the little ones, and your foreigner who is within your city gates, so that they may hear and learn, and so that they may honor Yahweh your God and keep 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.”
Do this so that their children, who have not known, may hear and learn to honor Yahweh your God, as long as you live in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.”
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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Look, the day is coming when you must die; call Joshua and present yourselves in the tent of meeting, so that I may give him a command.” Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the tent of meeting.
15 U Šatoru pokaže se Jahve u stupu od oblaka. Stup od oblaka stajao je na ulazu u Šator.
Yahweh appeared in the tent in a pillar of cloud; the pillar of cloud stood over 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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Look, you will sleep with your fathers; this people will rise up and act like a prostitute going after the strange gods that are among them in the land where they are going. They will forsake me and break my covenant that 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?'
Then, on that day, my anger will be kindled against them and I will abandon them. I will hide my face from them and they will be devoured. Many disasters and troubles will find them so that they will say on that day, 'Have these disasters not come upon us because our God is not in our midst?'
18 A ja ću sasvim sakriti svoje lice u taj dan, zbog svega zla što ga budu činili okrećući se drugim bogovima.
I will surely hide my face from them on that day because of all the evil that they will have done, because they has turned to 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.
Now therefore write this song for yourselves and teach it to the people of Israel. Put it in their mouths, so that this song may be a witness for me against the people 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 will have brought them into the land that I swore to give to their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey, and when they have eaten and become satisfied and fat, then they will turn to other gods and they will serve them and they will despise me and they will break my covenant.
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.”
When many evils and troubles come upon this people, this song will testify before them as a witness (for it will not be forgotten from the mouths of their descendants). For I know the plans that they are forming today, even before I have brought them into the land that I promised them.”
22 Toga dana napisa Mojsije ovu pjesmu i nauči Izraelce pjesmi.
So Moses wrote this song the same day and taught it to the people 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.”
Yahweh gave Joshua son of Nun a command and said, “Be strong and of good courage; for you will bring the people of Israel into the land that I swore to them, and I will be with you.”
24 Kad Mojsije napisa riječi ovoga Zakona u knjigu,
It happened that when Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book,
25 tada naredi Levijevcima, koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina:
that he commanded the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and he said,
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 side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, so that it may be there as 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 know your rebellion and your stiff neck; look, while I am still alive with you even today, you have been rebellious against Yahweh; how much more 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.
Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, so that I may speak these words in their ears and call heaven and earth to witness 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 know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves and turn aside out of the path that I have commanded you; disaster will come on you in the following days. This will happen because you will do what is evil in the sight of Yahweh, so as to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.”
30 A onda, na uši sve zajednice izraelske, Mojsije izgovori do kraja riječi ove pjesme:
Moses recited in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song until they were finished.
