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 all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them, and keep, and 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 talked with you face to face in the mount out of the middle 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 show you the word of the LORD: for you were afraid by reason 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 your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

7 Nemoj imati drugih bogova uz mene!

You shall have none 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.

You shall not make you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath 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,

You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

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

And showing mercy to thousands 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.

You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.

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

Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD your God has commanded you.

13 Šest dana radi i obavljaj sav svoj posao.

Six days you shall labor, and do all your 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 the sabbath of the LORD your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your ox, nor your ass, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates; that your manservant and your maidservant may rest as well as you.

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 remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out there through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD your God commanded you 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 your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you; that your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you, in the land which the LORD your God gives you.

17 Ne ubij!

You shall not kill.

18 Ne učini preljuba!

Neither shall you commit adultery.

19 Ne ukradi!

Neither shall you steal.

20 Ne svjedoči lažno na bližnjega svoga!

Neither shall you bear false witness against your 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 you desire your neighbor’s wife, neither shall you covet your neighbor’s house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is your 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 the LORD spoke to all your assembly in the mount out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered 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 you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire, ) that you 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 you said, Behold, the LORD our God has showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire: we have seen this day that God does talk 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 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 has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the middle 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 you near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak you to us all that the LORD our God shall speak to you; 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 you spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to you: 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!

O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, 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, Get you into your tents again.

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 you, stand you here by me, and I will speak to you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which you 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.

You shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you: you 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.

You shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
