Ponovljeni zakon 8
1 Držite i vršite sve zapovijedi koje vam danas naređujem da biste živjeli i raznmožili se i da biste ušli i zaposjeli zemlju koju je Jahve pod zakletvom obećao ocima vašim.
Ye shall keepe all the commandements which I command thee this day, for to doe them: that ye may liue, and be multiplied, and goe in, and possesse the land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers.
2 Sjećaj se svega puta kojim te Jahve, Bog tvoj, vodio po pustinji ovih četrdeset godina da te ponizi, iskuša i dozna što ti je u srcu: hoćeš li držati zapovijedi njegove ili nećeš.
And thou shalt remember all ye way which the Lord thy God led thee this fourtie yeere in the wildernesse, for to humble thee and to proue thee, to knowe what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keepe his commandements or no.
3 Ponižavao te i glađu morio, a onda te hranio manom - za koju nisi znao ni ti ni tvoji oci - da ti pokaže kako čovjek ne živi samo o kruhu nego da čovjek živi o svemu što izlazi iz usta Jahvinih.
Therefore he humbled thee, and made thee hungry, and fed thee with MAN, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know it, that he might teache thee that man liueth not by bread onely, but by euery worde that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord, doth a man liue.
4 Tvoja se odjeća na tebi nije izderala niti su ti noge oticale ovih četrdeset godina.
Thy raiment waxed not olde vpon thee, neither did thy foote swell those fourtie yeeres.
5 Priznaj onda u svome srcu da te Jahve, Bog tvoj, odgaja i popravlja, kao što čovjek odgaja sina svoga.
Knowe therefore in thine heart, that as a man nourtereth his sonne, so the Lord thy God nourtereth thee.
6 I drži zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, hodeći putovima njegovim i bojeći se njega!
Therefore shalt thou keepe the commandements of the Lord thy God, that thou mayest walke in his wayes, and feare him.
7 TÓa Jahve, Bog tvoj, vodi te u dobru zemlju: zemlju potoka i vrela, dubinskih voda što izviru u dolinama i bregovima;
For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land in the which are riuers of water and fountaines, and depthes that spring out of valleis and mountaines:
8 zemlju pšenice i ječma, loze, smokava i šipaka, zemlju meda i maslina;
A land of wheate and barley, and of vineyards, and figtrees, and pomegranates: a land of oyle oliue and hony:
9 zemlju u kojoj nećeš sirotinjski jesti kruha i gdje ti ništa neće nedostajati; zemlju gdje kamenje ima željeza i gdje ćeš iz njezinih brdina vaditi mjed.
A land wherein thou shalt eate bread without scarcitie, neither shalt thou lacke any thing therein: a land whose stones are yron, and out of whose mountaines thou shalt digge brasse.
10 Do sita ćeš jesti i blagoslivljati Jahvu, Boga svoga, zbog dobre zemlje koju ti je dao.
And when thou hast eaten and filled thy selfe, thou shalt blesse the Lord thy God for the good land, which he hath giuen thee.
11 Čuvaj se da ne zaboraviš Jahvu, Boga svoga, zanemarujući njegove zapovijedi, njegove uredbe i njegove zakone koje ti danas dajem.
Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, not keeping his commandements, and his lawes, and his ordinances, which I commaund thee this day:
12 I pošto se najedeš do sitosti, posagradiš lijepe kuće i u njima se nastaniš;
Lest when thou hast eaten and filled thy selfe, and hast built goodly houses and dwelt therein,
13 kad ti se krupna i sitna stoka namnoži; kad se nakupiš srebra i zlata i kada sve tvoje uznapreduje,
And thy beastes, and thy sheepe are increased, and thy siluer and golde is multiplied, and all that thou hast is increased,
14 nemoj da se uznese srce tvoje i da zaboraviš Jahvu, Boga svoga, koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske, iz kuće ropstva;
Then thine heart be lifted vp and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage,
15 koji te proveo kroz onu veliku i strašnu pustinju, kroz zemlju plamenih zmija i štipavaca, suhim i bezvodnim krajem; koji ti je izveo vodu iz stijene tvrde kao kremen;
Who was thy guide in the great and terrible wildernes (wherein were fierie serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where was no water, who brought forth water for thee out of ye rock of flint:
16 koji te u pustinji hranio manom, nepoznatom tvojim ocima, da te ponizi i da te iskuša te da na kraju budeš sretan.
Who fed thee in the wildernesse with MAN, which thy fathers knewe not) to humble thee, and and to proue thee, that he might doe thee good at thy latter ende.
17 Ne reci tada u svome srcu: svojom sam moći i snagom svojih ruku sebi namakao ovo bogatstvo.
Beware least thou say in thine heart, My power, and the strength of mine owne hand hath prepared me this abundance.
18 Sjeti se Jahve, Boga svoga! TÓa on ti je dao snagu da stječeš bogatstvo da tako ispuni - kao što je danas - svoj Savez za koji se zakleo tvojim ocima.
But remember the Lord thy God: for it is he which giueth thee power to get substance to establish his couenant which he sware vnto thy fathers, as appeareth this day.
19 Ako li zaboraviš Jahvu, Boga svoga, i pođeš za drugim bogovima te njima budeš iskazivao štovanje, njima se klanjao, kunem vam se danas da ćete zacijelo izginuti;
And if thou forget the Lord thy God, and walke after other gods, and serue them, and worship them, I testifie vnto you this day that ye shall surely perish.
20 poput naroda koje će Jahve pogubiti pred vama, tako će i vas nestati jer niste poslušali glasa Jahve, Boga svoga.
As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before you, so ye shall perish, because ye woulde not be obedient vnto the voyce of the Lord your God.
