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 unto all Israel, and said unto 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.

The LORD 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.

The LORD made not 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.

The LORD 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 the LORD and you at that time, to declare unto you the word of the LORD; for ye were afraid because of the fire, and went not up into the mount — saying:

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

I am the LORD 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 shalt 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 shalt not make unto thee a graven image, even any manner of likeness, of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in 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 shalt not bow down unto them, nor serve them; for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate Me,

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

and showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of them that 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 shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh 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 the LORD thy God commanded thee.

13 Šest dana radi i obavljaj sav svoj posao.

Six days shalt thou labour, 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 unto the LORD thy God, in it thou shalt not do any manner of work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, 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 shalt remember that thou was a servant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God brought thee out thence by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the LORD 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.

Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God commanded thee; that thy days may be long, and that it may go well with thee, upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

17 Ne ubij!

Thou shalt not murder.

18 Ne učini preljuba!

Neither shalt thou commit adultery.

19 Ne ukradi!

Neither shalt thou steal.

20 Ne svjedoči lažno na bližnjega svoga!

Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.

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 shalt thou covet thy neighbour's wife; neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour'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 the LORD spoke unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice, and it went on no more. And He wrote them upon two tables of stone, and gave them unto 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 did burn with fire, that ye came near unto 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, the LORD our God hath 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 doth speak with man, and he liveth.

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 the LORD 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, that hath 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 the LORD our God may say; and thou shalt speak unto us all that the LORD our God may speak unto 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 the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke unto me; and the LORD said unto me: 'I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto 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 they had such a heart as this alway, to fear Me, and keep all My commandments, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

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 unto thee all the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which thou shalt 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 the LORD your God hath 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 the LORD your God hath 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.
