Ponovljeni zakon 32
1 “Slušajte, nebesa, sad ću govoriti; čuj, zemljo, riječi usta mojih!
Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear 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!
My doctrine shall drop as the rain. My speech shall condense as the dew, as the small rain on the tender grass, as the showers on the herb.
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.
The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A faithful God and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 Oni mu se iznevjeriše - nisu mu sinovi, već nakaze sinovske, porod izopačen i prepreden.
They have dealt corruptly with him. They are not his children, because of their defect. They are 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?
Do you thus requite the LORD, foolish people and unwise? Isn't he your father who has bought you? He has 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 of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell 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 to the nations their inheritance, when he divided humankind, he set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
9 tad Jahvu njegov narod zapade, Jakov bi njegova baština.
For the LORD's portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his 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 the waste howling wilderness. He surrounded him. He cared for him. He kept 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 that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings, he took them, he bore them on his feathers.
12 Jahve sam njega je vodio, tuđeg boga s njim ne bijaše.
The LORD alone led him. There was no foreign god 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 high places of the earth. He ate the increase of the field. He caused him to suck honey out of the rock, oil out of the flinty rock;
14 kravljeg masla i ovčjeg mlijeka s pretilinom jaganjaca, ovnova bašanskih i jaraca, sa salom žitnih bubrega, i napoji ga pjenušavom krvlju grožđa.
Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the finest of the wheat. Of the blood of the grape you drank 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 Jacob ate his fill. Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he forsook God who made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 Tuđim bozima učiniše ga ljubomornim, razjariše ga gnusobama.
They moved him to jealousy with strange gods. They provoked him to anger 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 God, to gods that they did not know, to new gods that came up recently, which your fathers did not dread.
18 Odnemaruješ Stijenu što te na svijet dade, ne sjećaš se više Boga koji te rodi!
the Rock who fathered you, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God who gave you birth.
19 Vidje to Jahve i u gnjevu svojem odbaci sinove svoje i kćeri.
The LORD saw and abhorred, because of the provocation of his sons and his 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 their end shall be; for they are a very perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.
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 moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities. I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
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 is kindled in my anger, and burns to the lowest Sheol, and devours the earth with its increase, and sets the foundations of the mountains on fire. (Sheol h7585)
23 Nevolje na njih ću svaliti, na njih ću svoje istrošiti strijele.
"I will heap evils on them. I will spend my arrows on 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 shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat and bitter destruction. I will send the teeth of animals on them, With the poison of crawling creatures of 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 shall bereave, and in the rooms, terror; on both young man and virgin, The nursing infant with the gray-haired man.
26 Rekoh: U prah ću ih smrviti, zbrisati im spomen izmed ljudi.
I said, I want to cut them to pieces. I will remove the memory of them from men;
27 Ali se bojah ruga dušmanskoga: mogli bi im prevarit' se protivnici, pa da kažu: 'Pobjeda je naša, nije to Jahvina izvela ruka.'
were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge wrongly, lest they should say, 'Our hand is exalted, the LORD has not done all this.'"
28 Jer narod je to neupućen, oštroumlja u njih nema.
For they are a nation void of counsel. There is no understanding in them.
29 Da su mudri, već bi se i dosjetili, razabrali što ih očekuje.
Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end.
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 chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had delivered them up?
31 Al' stijena im nije poput naše Stijene; osuđeni su naši neprijatelji.
For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 Jer trs je njihov od sodomskog trsa i od vinograda gomorskih; grožđe im je grožđe otrovno, grozdovi im grozdovi gorčine;
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, of the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter.
33 njihovo je vino otrov zmijski, žestok jed otrovnice ljute.
Their wine is the poison of serpents, The cruel venom of asps.
34 Al' nije li on u mene poput dragulja, zapečaćen u mojim riznicama?
"Isn't this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?
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, at the time when their foot slides; for the day of their calamity is near, and the things to come hasten upon them."
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 judge his people, and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their strength is gone and there is none remaining, confined or set free.
37 Tad će reći: 'Ta gdje su bozi njihovi, gdje stijena kojom se zaklanjahu?
And 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!
Who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you. Let them be your protection.
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, even I, am he, and there is no god besides me. I kill, and I make alive. I wound, and I heal; and there is no one who can deliver out of 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 say, '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.
if I sharpen my flashing sword and my hand takes hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my adversaries, and will recompense 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. My sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the head of the leaders of the enemy.'"
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 the angels of God worship him. Rejoice, O nations, with his people, and let all the children of God strengthen themselves in him. For he will avenge the blood of his children, and he will render vengeance to his enemies, and he will recompense them that hate him, and he atones for the land of his people.
44 Dođe Mojsije s Jošuom, sinom Nunovim, te izgovori u uši naroda riječi ove pjesme.
Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun.
45 Kad Mojsije izgovori sve ove riječi svemu Izraelu,
Moses made an end of speaking 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, "Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you this day, which you shall command your children to observe to do, 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 it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, where you go over the Jordan to possess it."
48 Toga istog dana Jahve reče Mojsiju:
The LORD spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
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 this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a 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 die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother 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.
because you trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you did not sanctify me in the midst of the children of Israel.
52 Zato ćeš samo izdaleka vidjeti onu zemlju, ali u nju nećeš ući - u zemlju koju dajem Izraelcima.”
For you shall see the land before you; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel."
