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.
You shall observe to do all the commandments which I command you today, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to 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.
You shall remember all the way which the LORD your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.
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.
He humbled you, allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know, that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the LORD’s mouth.
4 Tvoja se odjeća na tebi nije izderala niti su ti noge oticale ovih četrdeset godina.
Your clothing didn’t grow old on 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 consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.
6 I drži zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, hodeći putovima njegovim i bojeći se njega!
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 springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;
8 zemlju pšenice i ječma, loze, smokava i šipaka, zemlju meda i maslina;
a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive trees 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 in which you shall eat bread without scarcity, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.
10 Do sita ćeš jesti i blagoslivljati Jahvu, Boga svoga, zbog dobre zemlje koju ti je dao.
You shall eat and be full, and 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 lest you forget the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you today;
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 fine houses and lived in them;
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 might be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of 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 the great and terrible wilderness, with venomous snakes and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you 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 didn’t know, 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 lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten 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 who gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is today.
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;
It shall be, if you shall forget the LORD your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that 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 that the LORD makes to perish before you, so you shall perish, because you wouldn’t listen to the LORD your God’s voice.
