Ponovljeni zakon 5

1 Mojsije sazva sav Izrael te im reče: “Čuj, Izraele, naredbe i zapovijedi što ih danas izričem u tvoje uši! Naučite ih, držite i vršite.

And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and observe to do them.

2 Jahve, Bog naš, sklopio je s nama Savez na Horebu.

Jehovah our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

3 Nije Jahve sklopio taj Savez s našim očevima, nego baš s nama svima koji smo danas ovdje živi.

Jehovah did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

4 Licem je u lice Jahve govorio s vama na brdu isred ognja.

Jehovah spoke with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire

5 Ja sam u ono vrijeme stajao između Jahve i vas da vam objavim Jahvine riječi, jer se vi, u strahu od ognja, niste htjeli peti na brdo. Rekao je:

(I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, to show you the word of Jehovah, for ye were afraid because of the fire, and did not go up onto the mount), saying,

6 'Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, koji sam te izveo iz zemlje egipatske, iz kuće ropstva.

I am Jehovah thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

7 Nemoj imati drugih bogova uz mene!

Thou shall have no other gods before me.

8 Ne pravi sebi lika ni obličja bilo čega što je gore na nebu, ili dolje na zemlji, ili u vodama pod zemljom.

Thou shall not make to thee a graven image: any likeness that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

9 Ne klanjaj im se niti im služi. Jer ja, Jahve, Bog tvoj, Bog sam ljubomoran. Kažnjavam grijeh otaca - onih koji me mrze - na djeci do trećeg i četvrtog koljena,

Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them, for I, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me,

10 a iskazujem milosrđe tisućama koji me ljube i vrše moje zapovijedi.

and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

11 Ne uzimaj uzalud imena Jahve, Boga svoga, jer Jahve ne oprašta onome koji uzalud izgovara ime njegovo.

Thou shall not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain, for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

12 Dan subotnji obdržavaj i svetkuj, kako ti je naredio Jahve, Bog tvoj.

Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Jehovah thy God commanded thee.

13 Šest dana radi i obavljaj sav svoj posao.

Six days thou shall labor, and do all thy work,

14 A sedmoga je dana subota, počinak posvećen Jahvi, Bogu tvome. Tada nikakva posla nemoj raditi: ni ti, ni sin tvoj, ni kći tvoja, ni sluga tvoj, ni sluškinja tvoja, ni vol tvoj, ni magarac tvoj, niti ikakvo živinče tvoje, niti došljak koji je unutar tvojih vrata; tako da mogne otpočinuti i sluga tvoj, i sluškinja tvoja kao i ti.

but the seventh day is a sabbath to Jehovah thy God: thou shall not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor thy donkey, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates, that thy man-servant and thy maid-servant may rest as well as thou.

15 Sjeti se da si i ti bio rob u zemlji egipatskoj i da te odande izbavio Jahve, Bog tvoj, rukom jakom i ispruženom mišicom. Zato ti je zapovjedio Jahve, Bog tvoj, da držiš dan subotnji.

And thou shall remember that thou were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God brought thee out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm, therefore Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.

16 Poštuj oca svoga i majku svoju, kako ti je Jahve, Bog tvoj, zapovjedio, da dugo živiš i dobro ti bude na zemlji koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje.

Honor thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy God commanded thee, that thy days may be long, and that it may go well with thee in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee.

17 Ne ubij!

Thou shall not murder.

18 Ne učini preljuba!

Neither shall thou commit adultery.

19 Ne ukradi!

Neither shall thou steal.

20 Ne svjedoči lažno na bližnjega svoga!

Neither shall thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.

21 Ne poželi žene bližnjega svoga! Ne poželi kuće bližnjega svoga, ni njive njegove, ni sluge njegova, ni sluškinje njegove, ni vola njegova, ni magarca njegova, niti išta što je bližnjega tvoga.'

Neither shall thou covet thy neighbor's wife. Neither shall thou desire thy neighbor's house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is thy neighbor's.

22 Te je riječi na brdu, isred ognja, oblaka i guste tmine, jakim glasom upravio Jahve svemu vašem zboru. Ništa nije dodavao nego ih je ispisao na dvije kamene ploče te ih predao meni.

These words Jehovah spoke to all your assembly on the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice, and he added no more. And he wrote them upon two tablets of stone, and gave them to me.

23 A onda, kad čuste glas iz tmine, dok je brdo plamtjelo u ognju, k meni pristupiše svi vaši plemenski glavari i vaše starješine

And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that ye came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders.

24 pa rekoše: 'Jahve, Bog naš, očitovao nam je, eto, svoju slavu i svoju veličajnost; čuli smo njegov glas isred ognja; danas smo vidjeli da čovjek može ostati na životu iako mu Bog govori.

And ye said, Behold, Jehovah our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man, and he lives.

25 A sad, zašto da umremo? Ovaj bi nas veliki oganj mogao proždrijeti; budemo li dalje slušali glas Jahve, Boga svoga, mogli bismo umrijeti.

Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more, then we shall die.

26 Jer, koji je smrtnik ikad slušao glas Boga živoga kako govori isred ognja - kao mi - i ostao na životu?

For who is there of all flesh, who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

27 Ti se primakni i slušaj sve što će ti reći Jahve, Bog naš. A onda ti nama kaži sve što tebi Jahve, Bog naš, rekne, i mi ćemo to poslušati i izvršiti.'

Go thou near, and hear all that Jehovah our God shall say. And speak thou to us all that Jehovah our God shall speak to thee, and we will hear it, and do it.

28 Jahve je čuo vaše riječi kad ste mi govorili pa mi reče: 'Čuo sam riječi što ih je taj narod tebi upravio. Sve što su rekli dobro je.

And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke to me. And Jehovah said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to thee. They have well said all that they have spoken.

29 Kad bi samo njihova srca bila takva da me se uvijek boje i drže sve moje zapovijedi, da tako vazda budu sretni, oni i njihovo potomstvo!

Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their sons forever!

30 Hajde, reci im: Vratite se u svoje šatore!

Go say to them, Return ye to your tents.

31 A ti ostani ovdje kod mene; kazat ću ti sve zapovijedi, zakone i uredbe kojima ćeš ih poučiti i koje će oni vršiti u zemlji što im je dajem u posjed.'

But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak to thee all the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which thou shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

32 Pazite, dakle, da radite kako vam je Jahve, Bog vaš, naložio! Ne skrećite ni desno ni lijevo.

Ye shall observe to do therefore as Jehovah your God has commanded you. Ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

33 Slijedite potpuno put koji vam je Jahve, Bog vaš, označio, da tako uzmognete živjeti, imati sreću i dug život u zemlji koju ćete zaposjesti.

Ye shall walk in all the way which Jehovah your God has commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
