Ponovljeni zakon 1
1 Ovo su riječi što ih je Mojsije upravio svemu Izraelu s onu stranu Jordana - u pustinji, u Arabi nasuprot Sufu, između Parana i Tofela, Labana, Hazerota i Di Zahaba -
These are the words, which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan, in the plain wilderness, over against the Red Sea, between Pharan and Thophel and Laban and Haseroth, where there is very much gold:
2 od Horeba do Kadeš Barnee, Seirskom gorom, jedanaest dana hoda.
Eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Cadesbarne.
3 Bilo je to godine četrdesete, prvog dana mjeseca jedanaestoga, kad Mojsije reče Izraelcima sve što mu je Jahve za njih naređivao.
In the fortieth year, the eleventh month, the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel all that the Lord had commanded him to say to them:
4 Pošto je porazio amorejskoga kralja Sihona, koji je živio u Hešbonu, i bašanskoga kralja Oga, koji je živio u Aštarotu i Edreju,
After that he had slain Sehon king of the Amorrhites, who dwelt in Hesebon: and Og king of Basan who abode in Astaroth, and in Edrai,
5 dakle s onu stranu Jordana, u zemlji moapskoj, poče Mojsije razlagati ovaj Zakon. Govoraše on:
Beyond the Jordan in the land of Moab. And Moses began to expound the law, and to say:
6 “Jahve, Bog naš, reče nam na Horebu: 'Dosta ste boravili na ovome brdu.
The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: You have stayed long enough in this mountain:
7 Krenite na put! Idite u gorski kraj Amorejaca i svih njihovih susjeda, u Arabu, u Gorje, u Šefelu i u Negeb, na morsku obalu, u zemlju kanaansku i u Libanon, sve do Velike rijeke, rijeke Eufrata.
Turn you, and come to the mountain of the Amorrhites, and to the other places that are next to it, the plains and the hills and the vales towards the south, and by the sea shore, the land of the Chanaanites, and of Libanus, as far as the great river Euphrates.
8 Eto, pred vas stavljam ovu zemlju. Idite, dakle, i zauzmite zemlju za koju se Jahve zakle ocima vašim, Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu, da će je dati njima i njihovu potomstvu poslije njih.'
Behold, said he, I have delivered it to you: go in and possess it, concerning which the Lord swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them, and to their seed after them.
9 Tada sam vam rekao: 'Ne mogu vas voditi sam.
And I said to you at that time:
10 Jahve, Bog vaš, toliko vas je razmnožio da vas danas ima kao zvijezda na nebu.
I alone am not able to bear you: for the Lord your God hath multiplied you, and you are this day as the stars of heaven, for multitude.
11 Neka vas Jahve, Bog vaših otaca, umnoži još tisuću puta! Neka vas blagoslivlja kako vam je obećao!
(The Lord God of your fathers add to this number many thousands, and bless you as he hath spoken.)
12 Ali kako bih ja sam mogao nositi vaš teret, vaše breme i vaše sporove?
I alone am not able to bear your business, and the charge of you and your differences.
13 Izaberite stoga iz svojih plemena ljude pametne, iskusne i ugledne da vam ih postavim za poglavare.'
Let me have from among you wise and understanding men, and such whose conversation is approved among your tribes, that I may appoint them your rulers.
14 Vi ste mi odgovorili: 'Dobro je što predlažeš.'
Then you answered me: The thing is good which thou meanest to do.
15 Zato sam uzeo prvake iz vaših plemena, ljude pametne i ugledne, te ih postavio za poglavare: tisućnike, stotnike, pedesetnike, desetnike i vaše plemenske nadglednike.
And I took out of your tribes men wise and honourable, and appointed them rulers, tribunes, and centurions, and officers over fifties, and over tens, who might teach you all things.
16 U to isto vrijeme naložio sam i vašim sucima: 'Saslušajte svoju braću; sudite pravedno između čovjeka i njegova brata ili pridošlice.
And I commanded them, saying: Hear them, and judge that which is just: whether he be one of your country, or a stranger.
17 U suđenju nemojte biti pristrani; saslušavajte maloga kao i velikoga. Ne bojte se nikoga! TÓa sud je Božji! Ako vam koji slučaj bude pretežak, iznesite ga meni, da ga ja razvidim.'
There shall be no difference of persons, you shall hear the little as well as the great: neither shall you respect any man’s person, because it is the judgment of God. And if any thing seem hard to you, refer it to me, and I will hear it.
18 Tako sam vam onda naložio sve što vam je činiti.
And I commanded you all things that you were to do.
19 Krenusmo iz Horeba i, na putu u gorske krajeve Amorejaca, kako nam je naredio Jahve, Bog naš, prijeđosmo svu onu veliku i strašnu pustinju koju ste vidjeli. Stigosmo u Kadeš Barneu.
And departing from Horeb, we passed through the terrible and vast wilderness, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorrhite, as the Lord our God had commanded us. And when we were come into Cadesbarne,
20 Tada vam rekoh: 'Došli ste u gorski kraj Amorejaca, koji nam Jahve, Bog naš, daje.
I said to you: You are come to the mountain of the Amorrhite, which the Lord our God will give to us.
21 Eto, Jahve, Bog tvoj, stavio je preda te tu zemlju. Ustaj! Zaposjedni je, kako ti je rekao Jahve, Bog otaca tvojih. Ne boj se! Ne strahuj!'
See the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord our God hath spoken to thy fathers: fear not, nor be any way discouraged.
22 Svi ste onda došli k meni i rekli: 'Pošaljimo pred sobom ljude da izvide zemlju i jave nam o putu kojim ćemo ići i o gradovima u koje ćemo doći.'
And you came all to me, and said: Let us send men who may view the land, and bring us word what way we shall go up, and to what cities we shall go.
23 Svidje mi se što rekoste. Zato uzeh dvanaest ljudi između vas, po jednoga iz svakog plemena.
And because the saying pleased me, I sent of you twelve men, one of every tribe:
24 Krenuli su na pogorje, stigli do Eškolske doline te izvidjeli kraj.
Who, when they had set forward and had gone up to the mountains, came as far as the valley of the cluster: and having viewed the land,
25 I nabraše plodova one zemlje, donesoše ih k nama i javiše: 'Zemlja koju nam daje Jahve, Bog naš, dobra je.'
Taking of the fruits thereof, to shew its fertility, they brought them to us, and said: The land is good, which the Lord our God will give us.
26 Ali vi niste htjeli onamo; pobunili ste se protiv naredbe Jahve, Boga svoga.
And you would not go up, but being incredulous to the word of the Lord our God,
27 Rogoborili ste u svojim šatorima i govorili: 'U svojoj mržnji na nas Jahve nas je izveo iz zemlje egipatske da nas preda u ruke Amorejaca, kako bi nas posve uništili.
You murmured in your tents, and said: The Lord hateth us, and therefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, that he might deliver us into the hand of the Amorrhite, and destroy us.
28 Kamo da idemo? Naša su braća ubila u nama srčanost kad rekoše: Narod je i veći i jači nego mi; gradovi su veliki, i zidine im sežu do nebesa. A vidjeli smo ondje i Anakovce.'
Whither shall we go up? the messengers have terrified our hearts, saying: The multitude is very great, and taller than we: the cities are great, and walled up to the sky, we have seen the sons of the Enacims there.
29 'Ne bojte se!' - rekoh vam. - 'Ne plašite ih se!
And I said to you: Fear not, neither be ye afraid of them:
30 Jahve, Bog vaš, koji ide pred vama, borit će se za vas kako je to učinio na vaše oči u Egiptu.'
The Lord God, who is your leader, himself will fight for you, as he did in Egypt in the sight of all.
31 A vidio si, uostalom, i u pustinji, gdje te Jahve, Bog tvoj, cijeloga puta što ste ga prevalili dok ste stigli do ovoga mjesta, nosio kao što čovjek nosi svoga sinčića.
And in the wilderness (as thou hast seen) the Lord thy God hath carried thee, as a man is wont to carry his little son, all the way that you have come, until you came to this place.
32 Ali, unatoč tome, vi niste imali pouzdanja u Jahvu, Boga svoga,
And yet for all this you did not believe the Lord your God,
33 u onoga koji je na putu išao pred vama da vam potraži mjesto za taborovanje - u ognju obnoć da vam osvijetli put kojim ćete ići, a obdan u oblaku.
Who went before you in the way, and marked out the place, wherein you should pitch your tents, in the night shewing you the way by fire, and in the day by the pillar of a cloud.
34 Jahve ču graju vašu i zakle se u svojoj srdžbi:
And when the Lord had heard the voice of your words, he was angry and swore, and said:
35 'Ni jedan jedini od ovih ljudi, od ovoga opakog naraštaja, neće vidjeti ove dobre zemlje za koju sam se zakleo da ću je dati vašim ocima.
Not one of the men of this wicked generation shall see the good land, which I promised with an oath to your fathers:
36 Izuzimam Kaleba, sina Jefuneova. On će je vidjeti; njemu i njegovim potomcima dat ću zemlju kojom je išao, jer je vjerno slijedio Jahvu.'
Except Caleb the son of Jephone: for he shall see it, and to him I will give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath followed the Lord.
37 Zbog vas se Jahve i na mene razljutio te mi rekao: 'Ni ti onamo nećeš ući.
Neither is his indignation against the people to be wondered at, since the Lord was angry with me also on your account, and said: Neither shalt thou go in thither.
38 Ući će onamo Jošua, sin Nunov, koji te služi. Njega ti osokoli, jer će on uvesti Izraela u posjed.
But Josue the son of Nun, thy minister, he shall go in for thee: exhort and encourage him, and he shall divide the land by lot to Israel.
39 A i vaši mališani, o kojima rekoste da će postati roblje, sinovi vaši koji još ne znaju razlikovati dobro i zlo, oni će u nju ući; njima ću je u posjed dati.
Your children, of whom you said that they should be led away captives, and your sons who know not this day the difference of good and evil, they shall go in: and to them I will give the land, and they shall possess it.
40 A vi se okrenite i zaputite u pustinju, prema Crvenome moru!'
But return you and go into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
41 Vi ste mi tada odgovorili riječima: 'Sagriješili smo protiv Jahve. Poći ćemo gore i boriti se kako nam je Jahve, Bog naš, zapovjedio.' Svaki od vas dohvati svoje oružje i nepromišljeno pođe gore u brda.
And you answered me: We have sinned against the Lord: we will go up and fight, as the Lord our God hath commanded. And when you went ready armed unto the mountain,
42 Onda mi Jahve reče: 'Kaži im: Ne idite gore i ne stupajte u borbu da vas ne poraze vaši neprijatelji jer ja nisam među vama.'
The Lord said to me: Say to them: Go not up, and fight not, for I am not with you: lest you fall before your enemies.
43 Tako sam vam i govorio, ali niste poslušali. Oprli ste se zapovijedi Jahvinoj i, puni drskosti, krenuli u brda.
I spoke, and you hearkened not: but resisting the commandment of the Lord, and swelling with pride, you went up into the mountain.
44 Ali Amorejci, koji žive u onome gorju, udariše na vas, pognaše vas, za vama se natisnuše kao pčele te su vas tukli od Seira do Horme.
And the Amorrhite that dwelt in the mountains coming out, and meeting you, chased you, as bees do: and made slaughter of you from Seir as far as Horma.
45 Vrativši se, plakali ste pred Jahvom, ali Jahve nije slušao vašega jauka niti je okrenuo svoga uha k vama.
And when you returned and wept before the Lord, he heard you not, neither would he yield to; your voice.
46 U Kadešu vam valjade ostati dugo vremena, onoliko koliko ste već ostali.
So you abode in Cadesbarne a long time.
