Ponovljeni zakon 4
1 “A sada, Izraele, poslušaj zakone i uredbe kojima vas učim da biste ih vršili i tako poživjeli te unišli i zaposjeli zemlju koju vam daje Jahve, Bog otaca vaših.
And now, O Israel, hear the commandments and judgments which I teach thee: that doing them, thou mayst live, and entering in mayst possess the land which the Lord the God of your fathers will give you.
2 Niti što nadodajite onome što vam zapovijedam niti što od toga oduzimljite; vršite zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, što vam ih dajem.
You shall not add to the word that I speak to you, neither shall you take away from it: keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
3 Vidjeli ste svojim očima što je Jahve učinio s Baal Peorom: jer Jahve, Bog tvoj, iskorijenio je iz tvoje sredine svakoga koji je slijedio Baal Peora.
Your eyes have seen all that the Lord hath done against Beelphegor, how he hath destroyed all his worshippers from among you.
4 A svi vi koji se čvrsto držite Jahve, Boga svoga, živi ste i danas.
But you that adhere to the Lord your God, are all alive until this present day.
5 Ja sam vas, eto, poučio o zakonima i uredbama, kako mi je Jahve, Bog moj, naredio da ih vršite u zemlji u koju idete da je zaposjednete.
You know that I have taught you statutes and justices, as the Lord my God hath commanded me: so shall you do them in the land which you shall possess:
6 Držite ih i vršite: to će u očima naroda biti vaša mudrost i vaša razboritost. Kad oni čuju za sve ove zakone, reći će: 'Samo je jedan narod mudar i pametan, a to je ovaj veliki narod.'
And you shall observe, and fulfill them in practice. For this is your wisdom, and understanding in the sight of nations, that hearing all these precepts, they may say: Behold a wise and understanding people, a great nation.
7 Jer koji je to narod tako velik da bi mu bogovi bili tako blizu kao što je Jahve, Bog naš, nama kad god ga zazovemo?
Neither is there any other nation so great, that hath gods so nigh them, as our God is present to all our petitions.
8 Koji je to narod tako velik da bi imao zakone i uredbe pravedne kao što je sav ovaj Zakon koji vam ja danas iznosim?
For what other nation is there so renowned that hath ceremonies, and just judgments, and all the law, which I will set forth this day before your eyes?
9 Zato pazi i dobro se čuvaj da ne zaboraviš događaje što si ih svojim očima vidio; neka ti ne iščeznu iz srca ni jednoga dana tvoga života; naprotiv, pouči o njima svoje sinove i sinove svojih sinova.
Keep thyself therefore, and thy soul carefully. Forget not the words that thy eyes have seen, and let them not go out of thy heart all the days of thy life. Thou shalt teach them to thy sons and to thy grandsons,
10 Onog dana kad si stajao na Horebu pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, Jahve mi je rekao: 'Skupi mi narod! Hoću da čuju moje riječi, da me se nauče bojati sve vrijeme što budu živjeli na zemlji te da o njima pouče i svoju djecu.'
From the day in which thou didst stand before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord spoke to me, saying: Call together the people unto me, that they may hear my words, and may learn to fear me all the time that they live on the earth, and may teach their children.
11 Vi ste se onda primakli i stali pod brdo. S usplamtjeloga brda plamen je sukljao do sred neba zamračena tmastim oblakom.
And you came to the foot of the mount, which burned even unto heaven: and there was darkness, and a cloud and obscurity in it.
12 Isred ognja Jahve je govorio vama; čuli ste zvuk riječi, ali lika niste nazreli - ništa osim glasa.
And the Lord spoke to you from the midst of the fire. You heard the voice of his words, but you saw not any form at all.
13 Objavio vam je svoj Savez i naložio vam da ga vršite - Deset zapovijedi, što ih ispisa na dvije kamene ploče.
And he shewed you his covenant, which he commanded you to do, and the ten words that he wrote in two tables of stone.
14 A meni je Jahve naredio da vas poučim o zakonima i uredbama što ćete ih vršiti u zemlji u koju odlazite da je zaposjednete.
And he commanded me at that time that I should teach you the ceremonies and judgments which you shall do in the land, that you shall possess.
15 Pazite dobro! Onoga dana kad vam je Jahve, Bog vaš, govorio isred ognja na Horebu, niste vidjeli nikakva lika,
Keep therefore your souls carefully. You saw not any similitude in the day that the Lord God spoke to you in Horeb from the midst of the fire:
16 da se ne biste pokvarili te da ne biste pravili sebi kakva klesana lika, kipa muškoga ili ženskoga obličja,
Lest perhaps being deceived you might make you a graven similitude, or image of male or female,
17 ni obličja kakve životinje što je na zemlji, ni obličja kakve ptice što pod nebom lijeta,
The similitude of any beasts, that are upon the earth, or of birds, that fly under heaven,
18 ni obličja bilo čega što po zemlji gmiže, ni obličja kakve ribe što je u vodi pod zemljom
Or of creeping things, that move on the earth, or of fishes, that abide in the waters under the earth:
19 i da se ne bi, kad digneš svoje oči prema nebu te vidiš sunce, mjesec i zvijezde - svu nebesku vojsku - dao zavesti da im se klanjaš i da im iskazuješ štovanje. Njih je Jahve, Bog tvoj, dao svim narodima, svugdje pod nebom.
Lest perhaps lifting up thy eyes to heaven, thou see the sun and the moon, and all the stars of heaven, and being deceived by error thou adore and serve them, which the Lord thy God created for the service of all the nations, that are under heaven.
20 A vas je uzeo Jahve i izveo vas iz Egipta - iz one peći ražarene - da postanete narod njegove baštine, to što ste danas.
But the Lord hath taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace of Egypt, to make you his people of inheritance, as it is this present day.
21 Ali se zbog vas Jahve na me razljutio i zakleo da ja neću prijeći preko Jordana i unići u blaženu zemlju koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje u baštinu.
And the Lord was angry with me for your words, and he swore that I should not pass over the Jordan, nor enter into the excellent land, which he will give you.
22 Tako, ja ću umrijeti u ovoj zemlji; ja preko Jordana neću prijeći. A vi ćete prijeći i zaposjesti onu krasnu zemlju.
Behold I die in this land, I shall not pass over the Jordan: you shall pass, and possess the goodly land.
23 Zato pazite da ne zaboravljate Saveza što ga je Jahve, Bog vaš, sklopio s vama te sebi ne pravite klesanih likova bilo čega što je Jahve, Bog tvoj, zabranio.
Beware lest thou ever forget the covenant of the Lord thy God, which he hath made with thee: and make to thyself a graven likeness of those things which the Lord hath forbid to be made:
24 Jer Jahve, Bog tvoj, oganj je što proždire; on je Bog ljubomoran.
Because the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
25 Kad budete izrodili djecu i unučad i budete dulje u onoj zemlji proboravili, a pokvarite se praveći sebi bilo kakve klesane likove i čineći zlo u očima Jahve, Boga svojega, tako da ga na srdžbu izazovete,
If you shall beget sons and grandsons, and abide in the land, and being deceived, make to yourselves any similitude, committing evil before the Lord your God, to provoke him to wrath:
26 znajte - uzimam za svjedoke protiv vas nebesa i zemlju - da će vas brzo nestati sa zemlje u koju idete preko Jordana da je zaposjednete: nećete dugo u njoj živjeti nego ćete biti iskorijenjeni.
I call this day heaven and earth to witness, that you shall quickly perish out of the land, which, when you have passed over the Jordan, you shall possess. You shall not dwell therein long, but the Lord will destroy you,
27 Jahve će vas raspršiti po narodima i ostat će vas samo malen broj među narodima među koje vas Jahve odvede.
And scatter you among all nations, and you shall remain a few among the nations, to which the Lord shall lead you.
28 Ondje ćete se klanjati bogovima što su ih ljudske ruke načinile od drveta i kamena, bogovima koji ne mogu ni vidjeti ni čuti, ni jesti ni mirisati.
And there you shall serve gods, that were framed with men’s hands: wood and stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
29 Ondje ćeš tražiti Jahvu, Boga svoga. I naći ćeš ga ako ga budeš tražio svim srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom.
And when thou shalt seek there the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him: yet so, if thou seek him with all thy heart, and all the affliction of thy soul.
30 U nevolji tvojoj snaći će te sve to, ali u posljednje vrijeme ti ćeš se obratiti Jahvi, Bogu svomu, i poslušati njegov glas.
After all the things aforesaid shall and thee, in the latter time thou shalt return to the Lord thy God, and shalt hear his voice.
31 TÓa Jahve, Bog tvoj, Bog je milosrdan; neće te on zapustiti ni upropastiti niti će zaboraviti Saveza što ga je pod zakletvom sklopio s ocima tvojim.
Because the Lord thy God is a merciful God: he will not leave thee, nor altogether destroy thee, nor forget the covenant, by which he swore to thy fathers.
32 Ispitaj samo prijašnja vremena što su protekla prije tebe, sve otkad je Bog stvorio čovjeka na zemlji: je li ikad, s jednoga kraja nebesa do drugoga, bilo ovako veličanstvena događaja? Je li se što takvo čulo?
Ask of the days of old, that have been before thy time from the day that God created man upon the earth, from one end of heaven to the other end thereof, if ever there was done the like thing, or it hath been known at any time,
33 Je li ikad koji narod čuo glas Boga gdje govori isred ognja kao što si ti čuo i na životu ostao?
That a people should hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of fire, as thou hast heard, and lived:
34 Ili, pokuša li koji bog da ode i uzme sebi jedan narod isred drugog naroda kušnjama, znakovima, čudesima i ratom, jakom rukom i ispruženom mišicom, uza silne strahote, kao što je sve to, na vaše oči, učinio za vas Jahve, Bog vaš, u Egiptu?
If God ever did so as to go, and take to himself a nation out of the midst of nations by temptations, signs, and wonders, by fight, and a strong hand, and stretched out arm, and horrible visions according to all the things that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before thy eyes.
35 Tebi je to pokazano da znaš da je Jahve pravi Bog i da nema drugoga uz njega.
That thou mightest know that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.
36 S neba ti se oglasio svojim glasom da te pouči; dopustio ti je da vidiš njegov veliki oganj na zemlji; i isred ognja čuo si njegove riječi.
From heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might teach thee. And upon earth he shewed thee his exceeding great fire, and thou didst hear his words out of the midst of the fire,
37 Zbog toga što je ljubio očeve tvoje, izabrao je poslije njih njihovo potomstvo; on, glavom, izveo te iz Egipta svojom silnom moći;
Because he loved thy fathers, and chose their seed after them. And he brought thee out of Egypt, going before thee with his great power,
38 ispred tebe rastjerao je narode, i brojnije i jače od tebe, da te dovede u njihovu zemlju i preda je tebi u baštinu, kao što je i danas.
To destroy at thy coming very great nations, and stronger than thou art, and to bring thee in, and give thee their land for a possession, as thou seest at this present day.
39 Danas, dakle, spoznaj i zasadi u svoje srce: Jahve je Bog gore na nebu i ovdje na zemlji - drugoga nema.
Know therefore this day, and think in thy heart that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath, and there is no other.
40 Drži njegove zakone i njegove zapovijedi koje ti dajem danas da dobro bude tebi i tvojoj djeci poslije tebe; da dugo poživiš na zemlji koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje zauvijek.”
Keep his precepts and commandments, which I command thee: that it may be well with thee, and thy children after thee, and thou mayst remain a long time upon the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee.
41 Tada Mojsije izabra tri grada preko Jordana, na istočnoj strani,
Then Moses set aside three cities beyond the Jordan at the east side,
42 kamo će se moći skloniti ubojica koji nehotice ubije svoga bližnjega a da prije nije imao mržnje prema njemu: da bi, bježeći u koji od ovih gradova, mogao spasiti svoj život.
That any one might flee to them who should kill his neighbour unwillingly, and was not his enemy a day or two before, and that he might escape to some one of these cities:
43 To su: Bezer u pustinji, u zemlji Mišoru, za Rubenovce; Ramot u Gileadu za Gadovce, i Golan u Bašanu za Manašeovce.
Bosor in the wilderness, which is situate in the plains of the tribe of Ruben: and Ramoth in Galaad, which is in the tribe of Gad: and Golan in Basan, which is in the tribe of Manasses.
44 Ovo je Zakon što ga je Mojsije postavio pred Izraelce;
This is the law, that Moses set before the children of Israel,
45 ovo su upute, zakoni i uredbe što ih je Mojsije dao Izraelcima kad su izišli iz Egipta,
And these are the testimonies and ceremonies and judgments, which he spoke to the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt,
46 s one strane Jordana, u dolini nasuprot Bet Peoru, u zemlji amorejskoga kralja Sihona, koji je živio u Hešbonu i koga su potukli Mojsije i Izraelci pošto iziđoše iz Egipta.
Beyond the Jordan in the valley over against the temple of Phogor, in the land of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that dwelt in Hesebon, whom Moses slew. And the children of Israel coming out of Egypt,
47 Njegovu su zemlju zauzeli i zemlju bašanskoga kralja Oga, dvaju amorejskih kraljeva koji su živjeli preko Jordana na istoku,
Possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Basan, of the two kings of the Amorrhites, who were beyond the Jordan towards the rising of the sun:
48 od Aroera, koji se nalazi na obali potoka Arnona, do brda Sirjona, to jest Hermona,
From Aroer, which is situate upon the bank of the torrent Amen, unto mount Sion, which is also called Hermon,
49 i svu Arabu preko Jordana, s istoka do mora u Arabi, pod obroncima Pisge.
All the plain beyond the Jordan at the east side, unto the see of the wilderness, and unto the foot of mount Phasga.
