Ponovljeni zakon 32
1 “Slušajte, nebesa, sad ću govoriti; čuj, zemljo, riječi usta mojih!
Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 Nek' mi nauk daždi poput kiše, kao rosa riječ nek' moja pada, kao kišica po mladoj zeleni, kao pljusak po travi velikoj!
Let my teaching fall like rain and my speech settle like dew, like gentle rain on new grass, like showers on tender plants.
3 Jer, Jahvino ću ime uznositi, a vi Boga našeg veličajte!
For I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Ascribe greatness to our God!
4 On je Stijena, djelo mu je savršeno, jer pravi su svi njegovi putovi. Bog je on vjeran i bez zloće, pravedan je on i pravičan.
He is the Rock, His work is perfect; all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He.
5 Oni mu se iznevjeriše - nisu mu sinovi, već nakaze sinovske, porod izopačen i prepreden.
His people have acted corruptly toward Him; the spot on them is not that of His children, but of a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Tako li uzvraćaš Jahvi, narode glupi i bezumni! Nije li on Otac tvoj, Stvoritelj, koji te sazdao, po kom postojiš?
Is this how you repay the LORD, O foolish and senseless people? Is He not your Father and Creator? Has He not made you and established you?
7 Spomeni se dana pradavnih, promotri godine od naraštaja do naraštaja. Oca svoga pitaj, i poučit će te, pitaj starije, pa će ti kazati.
Remember the days of old; consider the years long past. Ask your father, and he will tell you, your elders, and they will inform you.
8 Kad je Višnji baštinu dijelio narodima, kad je razmještao sinove čovječje, odredi im međe po broju Božjih sinova:
When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
9 tad Jahvu njegov narod zapade, Jakov bi njegova baština.
But the LORD’s portion is His people, Jacob His allotted inheritance.
10 U zemlji stepskoj on ga je našao, u pustinjskoj jezivoj pustoši. Obujmio ga, gajio ga i čuvao k'o zjenu oka svoga.
He found him in a desert land, in a barren, howling wilderness; He surrounded him, He instructed him, He guarded him as the apple of His eye.
11 Poput orla što bdi nad gnijezdom, nad svojim orlićima lebdeći, tako on krila širi, uzima ga, pa ga na svojim nosi perima.
As an eagle stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, He spread His wings to catch them and carried them on His pinions.
12 Jahve sam njega je vodio, tuđeg boga s njim ne bijaše.
The LORD alone led him, and no foreign god was with him.
13 Povede ga po visočjima zemlje, nahrani ga plodovima poljskim, dade mu meda iz pećine i ulja iz tvrde stijene;
He made him ride on the heights of the land and fed him the produce of the field. He nourished him with honey from the rock and oil from the flinty crag,
14 kravljeg masla i ovčjeg mlijeka s pretilinom jaganjaca, ovnova bašanskih i jaraca, sa salom žitnih bubrega, i napoji ga pjenušavom krvlju grožđa.
with curds from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, with the choicest grains of wheat. From the juice of the finest grapes you drank the wine.
15 Jeo je Jakov i nasitio se, ugojio se Ješurun pa se uzritao. Udebljao si se, utovio, usalio. Odbacio je Boga koji ga stvori i prezreo Stijenu svog spasenja.
But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked— becoming fat, bloated, and gorged. He abandoned the God who made him and scorned the Rock of his salvation.
16 Tuđim bozima učiniše ga ljubomornim, razjariše ga gnusobama.
They provoked His jealousy with foreign gods; they enraged Him with abominations.
17 Žrtvovahu zlodusima koji Bog nisu, bogovima kojih ne poznavahu prije, došljacima koji stigoše nedavno i koje oci njihovi ne štovahu.
They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they had not known, to newly arrived gods, which your fathers did not fear.
18 Odnemaruješ Stijenu što te na svijet dade, ne sjećaš se više Boga koji te rodi!
You ignored the Rock who brought you forth; you forgot the God who gave you birth.
19 Vidje to Jahve i u gnjevu svojem odbaci sinove svoje i kćeri.
When the LORD saw this, He rejected them, provoked to anger by His sons and daughters.
20 Lice ću im svoje sakriti, reče, i vidjet ću što će biti od njih. Jer izopačeno je to koljeno, sinovi u kojima vjernosti nema.
He said: “I will hide My face from them; I will see what will be their end. For they are a perverse generation— children of unfaithfulness.
21 Ništavnim me bogom na ljubomor potakoše, razdražiše me ništavilima svojim, i ja ću njih ljubomornim učinit', pukom ništavnim, razdražit ću ih glupim nekim narodom!
They have provoked My jealousy by that which is not God; they have enraged Me with their worthless idols. So I will make them jealous by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation without understanding.
22 Da, moga gnjeva požar je usplamtio i gorjet će do dubina šeolskih; proždrijet će zemlju i sve što ona rađa, sažeći joj brda do temelja. (Sheol h7585)
For a fire has been kindled by My anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol; it consumes the earth and its produce, and scorches the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Nevolje na njih ću svaliti, na njih ću svoje istrošiti strijele.
I will heap disasters upon them; I will spend My arrows against them.
24 Od gladi će umirati, ognjica i pošast njih će trovati. Poslat ću na njih zub zvjerinji i otrov zmija što prahom gmižu.
They will be wasted from hunger and ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague; I will send the fangs of wild beasts against them, with the venom of vipers that slither in the dust.
25 Vani će mač zatirati djecu, a strava će vladati unutra. Ginut će jednako momak i djevojka, dojenče i starac sjedokos.
Outside, the sword will take their children, and inside, terror will strike the young man and the young woman, the infant and the gray-haired man.
26 Rekoh: U prah ću ih smrviti, zbrisati im spomen izmed ljudi.
I would have said that I would cut them to pieces and blot out their memory from mankind,
27 Ali se bojah ruga dušmanskoga: mogli bi im prevarit' se protivnici, pa da kažu: 'Pobjeda je naša, nije to Jahvina izvela ruka.'
if I had not dreaded the taunt of the enemy, lest their adversaries misunderstand and say: ‘Our own hand has prevailed; it was not the LORD who did all this.’”
28 Jer narod je to neupućen, oštroumlja u njih nema.
Israel is a nation devoid of counsel, with no understanding among them.
29 Da su mudri, već bi se i dosjetili, razabrali što ih očekuje.
If only they were wise, they would understand it; they would comprehend their fate.
30 Kako da jedan tisuću u bijeg nagna, i deset tisuća da dvojica gone, da ih Stijena njina nije prodala, da ih Jahve nije izručio?
How could one man pursue a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?
31 Al' stijena im nije poput naše Stijene; osuđeni su naši neprijatelji.
For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies concede.
32 Jer trs je njihov od sodomskog trsa i od vinograda gomorskih; grožđe im je grožđe otrovno, grozdovi im grozdovi gorčine;
But their vine is from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; their clusters are bitter.
33 njihovo je vino otrov zmijski, žestok jed otrovnice ljute.
Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras.
34 Al' nije li on u mene poput dragulja, zapečaćen u mojim riznicama?
“Have I not stored up these things, sealed up within My vaults?
35 Moja je odmazda i nagrada u vrijeme kad im noga posrne. Jer blizu je dan njihove propasti, udes njihov brzo im se bliži!
Vengeance is Mine; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; for their day of disaster is near, and their doom is coming quickly.”
36 (Pravdu će Jahve dati svome puku, sažalit se nad slugama svojim.) Vidjet će da im gine snaga, da je i robu i slobodnu kraj.
For the LORD will vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants when He sees that their strength is gone and no one remains, slave or free.
37 Tad će reći: 'Ta gdje su bozi njihovi, gdje stijena kojom se zaklanjahu?
He will say: “Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
38 Oni što su jeli salo njihovih klanica i pili vino njihovih ljevanica?' Neka se dignu i neka vam pomognu, nek' vam budu zaklonište!
which ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you; let them give you shelter!
39 Vidite sada da ja, ja jesam, i da drugog Boga pored mene nema! Ja usmrćujem i oživljujem; ja udaram i iscjeljujem (i nitko se iz ruke moje ne izbavlja).
See now that I am He; there is no God besides Me. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal, and there is no one who can deliver from My hand.
40 Da, svoju ruku ja dižem prema nebu i kažem: Ne bio ja živ vječito
For I lift up My hand to heaven and declare: As surely as I live forever,
41 ako naoštrivši mač svoj blistavi ne uzmem sud u svoje ruke da svojim odmazdim dušmanima, da naplatim onima koji mene mrze.
when I sharpen My flashing sword, and My hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on My adversaries and repay those who hate Me.
42 Strijele svoje opojit ću krvlju i mač moj najest će se mesa, krvi ubijenih i zarobljenih, glava dušmanskih vrhovnika.
I will make My arrows drunk with blood, while My sword devours flesh— the blood of the slain and captives, the heads of the enemy leaders.”
43 Kličite, o nebesa, s njime, obožavajte ga, sinovi Božji! Kličite, puci, s njegovim narodom, uznosite snagu njegovu, poslanici Jahvini. Jer će krv slugu svojih osvetiti, istom mjerom vratit' dušmanima, naplatit će od onih koji njega mrze, očistit' od grijeha zemlju svog naroda.”
Rejoice, O heavens, with Him, and let all God’s angels worship Him. Rejoice, O nations, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His children. He will take vengeance on His adversaries and repay those who hate Him; He will cleanse His land and His people.
44 Dođe Mojsije s Jošuom, sinom Nunovim, te izgovori u uši naroda riječi ove pjesme.
Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people.
45 Kad Mojsije izgovori sve ove riječi svemu Izraelu,
When Moses had finished reciting all these words to all Israel,
46 reče im: “U srca svoja usadite sve riječi koje danas uzimam za svjedoka protiv vas; naredite sinovima svojim da ih drže vršeći sve riječi ovoga Zakona.
he said to them, “Take to heart all these words I testify among you today, so that you may command your children to carefully follow all the words of this law.
47 TÓa nije to za vas prazna riječ jer ona je vaš život. Zbog ove riječi živjet ćete dugo na zemlji koju ćete, prešavši Jordan, zaposjesti.”
For they are not idle words to you, because they are your life, and by them you will live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
48 Toga istog dana Jahve reče Mojsiju:
On that same day the LORD said to Moses,
49 “Popni se na goru Nebo u Abarskom gorju - ono je u moapskoj zemlji nasuprot Jerihonu - pa pogledaj zemlju kanaansku što ću je dati u posjed Izraelcima.
“Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab across from Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites as their own possession.
50 Onda umri na gori na koju se uspneš i pridruži se svojim precima kao što je i tvoj brat Aron, koji je umro na brdu Horu, bio pridružen svojima.
And there on the mountain that you climb, you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.
51 A to zato što ste mi se iznevjerili sred Izraelaca kod Meriba Kadeša, kod voda u pustinji Sinu: niste očitovali moju svetost među Izraelcima.
For at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you broke faith with Me among the Israelites by failing to treat Me as holy in their presence.
52 Zato ćeš samo izdaleka vidjeti onu zemlju, ali u nju nećeš ući - u zemlju koju dajem Izraelcima.”
Although you shall see from a distance the land that I am giving the Israelites, you shall not enter it.”
