Ponovljeni zakon 9
1 Slušaj, Izraele! Danas prelaziš preko Jordana da sebi podvrgneš narode i veće i brojnije nego što si ti; velike gradove, s utvrdama do nebesa;
Hear, O Israel: Thou are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fortified up to heaven,
2 narod velik i gorostasan poput Anakovaca, koje već poznaješ i o kojima si slušao: 'Tko da odoli Anakovcima?'
a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou know, and of whom thou have heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?
3 Znaj dakle danas da Jahve, Bog tvoj, ide pred tobom. On je vatra što proždire; on će ih oboriti, tebi ih podvrgnuti. A ti ćeš ih onda rastjerati i ubrzo pobiti, kako ti je Jahve i rekao.
Know therefore this day, that Jehovah thy God is he who goes over before thee as a devouring fire. He will destroy them, and he will bring them down before thee. So thou shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Jehovah has spoken to thee.
4 Pošto ih otjera ispred tebe Jahve, Bog tvoj, nemoj reći u srcu svome: 'Jahve me uveo da zaposjednem ovu zemlju zbog moje pravednosti.' Naprotiv, zbog opačina onih naroda Jahve ih tjera ispred tebe.
Do not speak thou in thy heart, after Jehovah thy God has thrust them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness Jehovah has brought me in to possess this land. Whereas for the wickedness of these nations Jehovah drives them out from before thee.
5 Ne ideš ti da zaposjedneš njihovu zemlju zbog svoje pravednosti i čestitosti svoga srca, nego zato što Jahve, Bog tvoj, zbog opačine onih naroda tjera njih ispred tebe da tako održi riječ kojom se zakleo tvojim ocima: Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu.
Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, do thou go in to possess their land, but for the wickedness of these nations Jehovah thy God drives them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which Jehovah swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
6 Znaj, dakle, da ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, ne daje ovu dobru zemlju u posjed zbog tvoje pravednosti, jer si ti narod tvrde šije!
Know therefore, that Jehovah thy God does not give thee this good land to possess it for thy righteousness, for thou are a stiff-necked people.
7 Sjećaj se i ne zaboravljaj kako si u pustinji ljutio Jahvu, Boga svoga. Od dana kad ste izašli iz zemlje egipatske do dolaska na ovo mjesto, Jahvi ste se opirali.
Remember, do not thou forget how thou provoked Jehovah thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou went forth out of the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah.
8 Na Horebu ste rasrdili Jahvu i Jahve je na vas tako planuo da vas je htio uništiti.
Also in Horeb ye provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah was angry with you to destroy you.
9 Popeo sam se na brdo da primim kamene ploče, ploče Saveza što ga s vama sklopi Jahve. Na brdu sam ostao četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći: niti sam jeo kruha niti pio vode.
When I was gone up onto the mount to receive the tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant which Jehovah made with you, then I abode on the mount forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water.
10 I dade mi Jahve dvije kamene ploče, ispisane prstom Božjim, na kojima bijahu sve riječi što vam ih je Jahve isred ognja na brdu rekao na dan zbora.
And Jehovah delivered to me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God. And on them was according to all the words, which Jehovah spoke with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
11 Kad je prošlo četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći, Jahve mi dade dvije kamene ploče - ploče Saveza.
And it came to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Jehovah gave me the two tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant.
12 I reče mi Jahve: 'Ustaj! Žurno siđi odavde, jer se pokvario narod tvoj koji si izveo iz Egipta. Brzo su zašli s puta koji sam im označio: već su sebi napravili livenog kumira.'
And Jehovah said to me, Arise, get thee down quickly from here, for thy people that thou have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them. They have made them a molten image.
13 Još mi reče Jahve: 'Promatrao sam taj narod. Zbilja je to narod tvrde šije!
Furthermore Jehovah spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
14 Pusti me da ih uništim i njihovo ime izbrišem pod nebesima, a od tebe da učinim narod i jači i brojniji nego što je ovaj!'
Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven, and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
15 Okrenuh se i siđoh niz brdo, a brdo svejednako plamtjelo u ognju. Dvije ploče Saveza bijahu mi u rukama.
So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount was burning with fire. And the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
16 Pogledah: zbilja ste sagriješili protiv Jahve, Boga svoga. Salili ste sebi tele od kovine. Tako ste brzo zašli s puta što vam ga Jahve bijaše označio.
And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against Jehovah your God. Ye had made you a molten calf. Ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which Jehovah had commanded you.
17 Pograbih dvije ploče te ih bacih od sebe objema rukama - razbih ploče pred vašim očima.
And I took hold of the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
18 Onda se ničice bacih pred Jahvu. Četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći - kao i prije - niti sam jeo kruha niti pio vode zbog svih grijeha koje ste počinili radeći zlo u očima Jahve i srdeći ga.
And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which ye sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
19 Jer se bojah srdžbe i gnjeva kojim je Jahve usplamtio na vas da vas zatre. Ali me i tada Jahve usliša.
For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which Jehovah was angry against you to destroy you. But Jehovah hearkened to me that time also.
20 I na Arona se Jahve silno rasrdio, htio ga uništiti. Tada se zauzeh i za Arona.
And Jehovah was very angry with Aaron to destroy him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
21 Vaš grijeh, tele što bijaste načinili, uzeh i sažegoh ga u vatri. U prah ga satrh i prah mu bacih u potok što teče s brda.
And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. And I cast the dust of it into the brook that descended out of the mount.
22 Kod Tabere, kod Mase i Kibrot Hataave srdili ste Jahvu.
And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath.
23 Kad vas je Jahve slao od Kadeš Barnee govoreći: 'Idite gore i uzmite zemlju koju sam vam dao', pobunili ste se protiv riječi Jahve, Boga svoga; u nj se niste pouzdavali niti ste slušali njegov glas.
And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you, then ye rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God, and ye did not believe him, nor hearken to his voice.
24 Nepokorni bijaste Jahvi otkad vas poznajem.
Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.
25 Zato sam pao ničice i ležao pred Jahvom četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći, jer Jahve bijaše rekao da će vas uništiti.
So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Jehovah had said he would destroy you.
26 Jahvu sam molio i rekao: 'Gospodine moj, Jahve! Ne uništavaj naroda svoga, baštine svoje koju si izbavio u svojoj veličajnosti i svojom moćnom rukom izveo iz Egipta.
And I prayed to Jehovah, and said, O lord Jehovah, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, that thou have redeemed through thy greatness, that thou have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27 Sjeti se slugu svojih: Abrahama, Izaka i Jakova, a ne obaziri se na tvrdokornost ovoga naroda, na njegovu opačinu, na grijeh njegov,
Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their profaneness, nor to their sin,
28 da se ne rekne u zemlji iz koje si nas izbavio: Jahve ih nije mogao uvesti u zemlju koju im je obećao, ili ih je mrzio pa ih je zato odveo da ih pomori u pustinji.
lest the land from where thou brought us out say, Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.
29 A oni su tvoj narod, tvoja baština, oni koje si izveo svojom velikom moći i ispruženom mišicom.'
Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou brought out by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm.
