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.
All the commandments which I command you this day shall all of you observe to do, that all of you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto 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 you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, 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.
And he humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD does man live.
4 Tvoja se odjeća na tebi nije izderala niti su ti noge oticale ovih četrdeset godina.
Your raiment waxed not old upon you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.
5 Priznaj onda u svome srcu da te Jahve, Bog tvoj, odgaja i popravlja, kao što čovjek odgaja sina svoga.
You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.
6 I drži zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, hodeći putovima njegovim i bojeći se njega!
Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear 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 your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
8 zemlju pšenice i ječma, loze, smokava i šipaka, zemlju meda i maslina;
A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
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 you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig brass.
10 Do sita ćeš jesti i blagoslivljati Jahvu, Boga svoga, zbog dobre zemlje koju ti je dao.
When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which he has given you.
11 Čuvaj se da ne zaboraviš Jahvu, Boga svoga, zanemarujući njegove zapovijedi, njegove uredbe i njegove zakone koje ti danas dajem.
Beware that you forget not the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command you this day:
12 I pošto se najedeš do sitosti, posagradiš lijepe kuće i u njima se nastaniš;
Lest when you have eaten and are full, and have 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 when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
14 nemoj da se uznese srce tvoje i da zaboraviš Jahvu, Boga svoga, koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske, iz kuće ropstva;
Then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, which brought you forth 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 led you through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the 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 you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers knew not, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;
17 Ne reci tada u svome srcu: svojom sam moći i snagom svojih ruku sebi namakao ovo bogatstvo.
And you say in your heart, My power and the might of mine hand has got me this wealth.
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 you shall remember the LORD your God: for it is he that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto your fathers, as it is 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 it shall be, if you do at all forget the LORD your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that all of you 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 destroys before your face, so shall all of you perish; because all of you would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
