< 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.
Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, “Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears today, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.”
2 Jahve, Bog naš, sklopio je s nama Savez na Horebu.
Yahweh 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.
Yahweh didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.
4 Licem je u lice Jahve govorio s vama na brdu isred ognja.
Yahweh spoke with you face to face on the mountain 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 Yahweh and you at that time, to show you Yahweh’s word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn’t go up onto the mountain) saying,
6 'Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, koji sam te izveo iz zemlje egipatske, iz kuće ropstva.
“I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7 Nemoj imati drugih bogova uz mene!
“You 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.
“You shall not make a carved image for yourself—any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what 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,
You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and on 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.
“You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your God; for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
12 Dan subotnji obdržavaj i svetkuj, kako ti je naredio Jahve, Bog tvoj.
“Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Yahweh your God commanded you.
13 Šest dana radi i obavljaj sav svoj posao.
You shall labor six days, 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 a Sabbath to Yahweh your God, in which you shall not do any work—neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant 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.
You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore Yahweh 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 Yahweh your God commanded you, that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
17 Ne ubij!
“You shall not murder.
18 Ne učini preljuba!
“You shall not commit adultery.
19 Ne ukradi!
“You shall not steal.
20 Ne svjedoči lažno na bližnjega svoga!
“You shall not give false testimony 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.'
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbor’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything 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.
Yahweh spoke these words to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice. He added no more. He wrote them on two stone tablets, 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
When you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, 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, Yahweh our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire. We have seen today that God does speak 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 Yahweh our God’s voice 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 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 near, and hear all that Yahweh our God shall say, and tell us all that Yahweh our God tells 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.
Yahweh heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me; and Yahweh 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!
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 children forever!
30 Hajde, reci im: Vratite se u svoje šatore!
“Go tell them, ‘Return 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 you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.”
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 Yahweh your God has commanded you. You shall not turn away 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 way which Yahweh 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.
