5 Mojžišova 8
1 Všelikého přikázaní, kteréž já přikazuji tobě dnes, skutečně ostříhejte, abyste živi byli a rozmnožili se, a vešli k dědičnému obdržení země, kterouž s přísahou zaslíbil Hospodin otcům vašim.
“You must faithfully obey all the commandments that I am giving you today. If you do that, you will live [a long time], you will become very numerous, and you will occupy the land that Yahweh solemnly promised your ancestors that he would give [to you].
2 A rozpomínati se budeš na všecku cestu, kterouž tě vedl Hospodin Bůh tvůj již teď čtyřidceti let po poušti, aby ponížil tebe a zkusil tě, aby známé bylo, co jest v srdci tvém, budeš-li ostříhati přikázaní jeho, čili nic.
And do not forget how Yahweh our God led us as we traveled through the desert during these past 40 years. He [caused you to have many problems/difficulties], because he wanted to cause you to realize that you needed to trust him and not yourselves. And he wanted to test you, to find out what you intended to do [IDM], whether you would obey his commandments or not.
3 I ponížil tě a dopustil na tebe hlad, potom tě krmil mannou, kteréž jsi ty neznal, ani otcové tvoji, aby známé učinil tobě, že ne samým chlebem živ bude člověk, ale vším tím, což vychází z úst Hospodinových, živ bude člověk.
So he caused you to have/experience difficulties. He allowed you to become hungry. Then he gave you manna [food from heaven], food that you and your ancestors had never eaten before. He did that to teach you that people need food [for their bodies]; but [they also need food for their spirits, which comes from paying attention to] everything that Yahweh says [MTY].
4 Roucho tvé nevetšelo na tobě, a noha tvá se neodhnetla, již od čtyřidceti let.
During those 40 years [of walking through the desert], our clothes did not wear out and our feet did not swell [from walking a very long way through the desert].
5 Znejž tedy v srdci svém, že jakož cvičí člověk syna svého, tak Hospodin Bůh tvůj cvičí tebe.
Do not forget that Yahweh our God disciplines us, like parents discipline their children.
6 A ostříhej přikázaní Hospodina Boha svého, chodě po cestách jeho, a boje se jeho.
“Do obey the commandments of Yahweh our God, and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and revere him.
7 Nebo Hospodin Bůh tvůj uvozuje tě do země výborné, země, v níž jsou potokové vod, studnice a propasti prýštící se po údolích i po horách,
He is about to bring you into a good/fertile land, which has streams which flow down from the hills and pour/flow out of springs in the valleys.
8 Do země hojné na pšenici a ječmen, na vinice a fíky a jablka zrnatá, do země, v níž jest hojnost olivoví olej přinášejícího a medu.
It is a land on which wheat and barley grow, a land where there are fig trees and pomegranates, and a land where there are olive trees and honey.
9 Země, v níž bez nedostatku chléb jísti budeš, a v ničemž nouze trpěti nebudeš, země, jejíž kamení jest železo, a z hor jejích měď sekati budeš.
It is a land where there will be plenty of food for you, where you will (not lack anything/have everything that you need) [LIT], a land which has iron [ore] in its rocks and from which you can dig copper [ore] from its hills.
10 Kdyžkoli jísti budeš a nasytíš se, dobrořečiti budeš Hospodina Boha svého za zemi výbornou, kterouž dal tobě.
[Every day] you will eat until your stomachs are full, and you will thank Yahweh our God for the fertile/good land that he has given you.
11 Aniž se kdy toho dopouštěj, abys se měl zapomenouti na Hospodina Boha svého, a neostříhati přikázaní a soudů jeho i ustanovení jeho, kteráž já dnes přikazuji tobě,
But, [when that happens], be sure not to forget Yahweh our God by disobeying his commandments and rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.
12 Aby, když bys jedl a nasycen byl, a domů krásných nastavěje, v nich bys bydlil,
When your stomachs are full [every day], and when you have built good houses and are living in them,
13 A volové i ovce tvé rozmnoženy byly by, stříbra také a zlata měl bys mnoho, a hojnost ve všech věcech svých,
and when the number of your cattle and sheep has greatly increased, and when you have accumulated a large amount of silver and gold, and the amount of all your other possessions has greatly increased,
14 Nepozdvihlo se srdce tvé, a zapomenul bys na Hospodina Boha svého, kterýž tě vyvedl z země Egyptské, z domu služby,
be sure that you do not become proud [IDM] and forget Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt and brought them out from there.
15 A vedl tě přes poušť velikou a hroznou, na níž byli hadové ohniví a štírové, poušť žíznivou, na níž nebylo žádné vody, a vyvedl tobě vodu z přetvrdé skály,
Do not forget that he led them [while they traveled] through that huge and terrible desert, where there were poisonous snakes and scorpions. And do not forget that where the ground was very dry and there was no water, he caused water to flow for them out of (solid/very hard) rock.
16 Kterýž tě krmil na poušti mannou, o kteréž nevěděli otcové tvoji, aby tě potrápil a zkusil tebe, naposledy však aby dobře učinil tobě.
Do not forget that in that desert he gave your ancestors manna to eat, food that they had never eaten before. He [caused them to have/experience many problems/difficulties], because he wanted them to realize that they needed to trust him and not themselves. And he wanted to test them, to find out whether they intended to obey him, in order that when [those difficulties] ended, he would do many good things for them.
17 Aniž říkej v srdci svém: Moc má a síla ruky mé způsobila mi tato zboží,
Be sure that you do not think to yourselves, ‘I have acquired all these things by my own power [MTY] and ability.’
18 Ale pamatuj na Hospodina Boha svého, nebo on dává tobě moc k dobývání zboží, aby utvrdil smlouvu svou, kterouž s přísahou učinil s otci tvými, jakož to ukazuje dnešní den.
Do not forget that it is Yahweh our God who has enabled you to become rich. He does this because he faithfully does what he solemnly promised our ancestors that he would do.
19 Pakli zapomena se na Hospodina Boha svého, postoupil bys po bozích cizích, a sloužil bys jim a klaněl bys se jim: osvědčuji proti vám dnes, že konečně zahynete.
“solemnly warn you that if you forget Yahweh our God and turn to other gods and start to serve them and worship them, you will certainly be destroyed.
20 Jako pohané, kteréž Hospodin zahladil před tváří vaší, tak zahynete, proto že jste neposlouchali hlasu Hospodina Boha svého.
If you do not obey Yahweh our God, he will certainly destroy you just like he will destroy the people-groups that you will fight against.”
