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;
Sh'ma ·Hear obey·, Israel [God prevails]! You are to pass over the Jordan [Descender] today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,
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 you know, and of whom you have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· it said, “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 today, that Adonai your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire. He will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you. So you shall drive them out, and make them perish quickly, as Adonai has spoken to you.
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.
Don’t say in your heart, after Adonai your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, “For my righteousness Adonai has brought me in to possess this land;” because Adonai drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.
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 your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Adonai your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Adonai swore to your fathers, to Abraham [Father of a multitude], to Isaac [Laughter], and to Jacob [Supplanter].
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 Adonai your God does not give you this good land to possess for your righteousness; for you 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, and don’t forget, how you provoked Adonai your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you left the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Adonai.
8 Na Horebu ste rasrdili Jahvu i Jahve je na vas tako planuo da vas je htio uništiti.
Also in Horeb [Desert] you provoked Adonai to wrath, and Adonai 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 had gone up onto the mountain to receive the stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant which Adonai made with you, then I stayed on the mountain 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.
Adonai delivered to me the two stone tablets written with God’s finger. On them were all the words which Adonai spoke with you on the mountain out of the middle 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.
It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Adonai gave me the two stone tablets, 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.'
Adonai said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned aside out of the way which I enjoined them. They have made a molten image for themselves!”
13 Još mi reče Jahve: 'Promatrao sam taj narod. Zbilja je to narod tvrde šije!
Furthermore Adonai 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!'
Leave me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you 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 mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire. 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.
I looked, and behold, you had sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)· against Adonai your God. You had made yourselves a molten calf. You had turned aside quickly out of the way which Adonai had enjoined you.
17 Pograbih dvije ploče te ih bacih od sebe objema rukama - razbih ploče pred vašim očima.
I took hold of the two tablets, and threw 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.
I fell down before Adonai, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your habitual sins ·missing the marks· which you sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·, in doing that which was evil in Adonai’s sight, 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.
I was terrified that because of how angry Adonai was at you, of how heatedly displeased he was, that he would destroy you. But Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed· me that time too.
20 I na Arona se Jahve silno rasrdio, htio ga uništiti. Tada se zauzeh i za Arona.
Adonai was angry enough with Aaron [Light-bringer] to destroy him. I prayed for Aaron [Light-bringer] 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.
I took your habitual sin ·missing the mark·, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire, and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. I threw its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.
22 Kod Tabere, kod Mase i Kibrot Hataave srdili ste Jahvu.
At Taberah, and at Massah [Testing], and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked Adonai 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.
When Adonai sent you from Kadesh Barnea [Consecrated Son-inconstant], saying, “Go up and possess the land which I have given you,” you rebelled against the order of Adonai your God, and you didn’t trust him, nor sh'ma ·hear obey· his voice.
24 Nepokorni bijaste Jahvi otkad vas poznajem.
You have been rebellious against Adonai 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 Adonai the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Adonai 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.
I prayed to Adonai, and said, “'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh], don’t destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] 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 your servants, Abraham [Father of a multitude], Isaac [Laughter], and Jacob [Supplanter]. Don’t look at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their ethical wickedness, nor at their habitual sin ·missing the mark·,
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 you brought us out from say, ‘Because Adonai 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 your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.”
