Deuteronomy 9
1 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,
Poslušaj, oh Izrael: ›Danes prečkaš Jordan, da vstopiš in vzameš v last narode, večje in močnejše kakor ti, velika mesta in ograjena do neba,
2 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?
veliko in visoko ljudstvo, otroke Anákovcev, ki jih poznaš in o katerih si slišal reči: ›Kdo lahko stoji pred Anákovimi otroki!‹
3 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.
Razumi torej ta dan, da je Gospod, tvoj Bog, tisti, ki gre preko pred teboj. Kakor požirajoč ogenj jih bo uničil in on jih bo privedel dol, pred tvoj obraz. Tako jih boš pognal ven in jih hitro uničil, kakor ti je rekel Gospod.
4 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.
Ne govori v svojem srcu, potem ko jih je Gospod, tvoj Bog, spodil izpred tebe, rekoč: ›Zaradi moje pravičnosti me je Gospod privedel, da vzamem v last to deželo, ‹ temveč jih je zaradi zlobnosti teh narodov Gospod pognal izpred tebe.
5 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.
Ne greš, da zaradi svoje pravičnosti ali zaradi poštenosti svojega srca vzameš v last njihovo deželo, temveč zaradi zlobnosti teh narodov jih je Gospod, tvoj Bog, pognal izpred tebe in da lahko izpolni besedo, ki jo je Gospod prisegel tvojim očetom, Abrahamu, Izaku in Jakobu.
6 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.
Razumi torej, da ti Gospod, tvoj Bog, te dobre zemlje ne daje v posest zaradi tvoje pravičnosti, kajti ti si trdovratno ljudstvo.
7 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.
Zapomni si in ne pozabi, kako si v divjini do besa dražil Gospoda, svojega Boga. Od dneva, ko si odšel iz egiptovske dežele, dokler niste prišli na ta kraj, ste bili uporni zoper Gospoda.
8 Also in Horeb ye provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah was angry with you to destroy you.
Tudi na Horebu ste do besa izzivali Gospoda, tako da je bil Gospod nad vami jezen, da vas uniči.
9 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.
Ko sem odšel gor na goro, da prejmem kamniti plošči, torej plošči zaveze, ki jo je Gospod sklenil z vami, potem sem na gori ostal štirideset dni in štirideset noči niti nisem jedel kruha niti pil vode.
10 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.
In Gospod mi je izročil dve kamniti plošči, popisani z Božjim prstom. Na njima je bilo napisano glede na vse besede, ki jih je Gospod z vami govoril na gori, iz srede ognja, na dan zbora.
11 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.
Ob koncu štiridesetih dni in štiridesetih noči se je pripetilo, da mi je Gospod dal dve kamniti plošči, torej plošči zaveze.
12 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.
Gospod mi je rekel: ›Vstani, hitro se spusti od tod, kajti tvoje ljudstvo, ki si jih privedel iz Egipta, se je izpridilo. Hitro so se obrnili proč iz poti, ki sem jim jo zapovedal. Naredili so si ulito podobo.‹
13 Furthermore Jehovah spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
Nadalje mi je Gospod spregovoril, rekoč: ›Videl sem to ljudstvo in glej, to je trdovratno ljudstvo.
14 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.
Pusti me pri miru, da jih lahko uničim in njihovo ime izbrišem izpod neba. Iz tebe pa bom naredil narod, mogočnejši in večji kakor oni.‹
15 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.
Tako sem se obrnil in prišel dol z gore in gora je gorela z ognjem in dve tabli zaveze sta bili v mojih dveh rokah.
16 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.
Pogledal sem in glej, grešili ste zoper Gospoda, svojega Boga in si naredili ulito tele. Hitro ste se obrnili proč iz poti, ki vam jo je zapovedal Gospod.
17 And I took hold of the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
Vzel sem dve plošči in ju vrgel iz svojih dveh rok ter ju razbil pred vašimi očmi.
18 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.
In padel sem dol pred Gospodom, kakor prvič, štirideset dni in štirideset noči. Niti nisem jedel kruha niti nisem pil vode zaradi vseh vaših grehov, ki ste jih z zlobnim početjem zagrešili v Gospodovih očeh, da ga izzivate k jezi.
19 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.
Kajti bal sem se jeze in silnega nezadovoljstva, s katerim je bil Gospod ogorčen zoper vas, da vas uniči. Toda Gospod mi je tudi ob tistem času prisluhnil.
20 And Jehovah was very angry with Aaron to destroy him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
Gospod je bil zelo jezen nad Aronom, da bi ga uničil, jaz pa sem isti čas molil za Arona.
21 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.
Vzel sem vaš greh, tele, ki ste ga naredili in ga sežgal z ognjem in ga poteptal in ga zelo drobno zmlel, dokler ni bil ta majhen kakor prah, in njegov prah sem vrgel v potok, ki se spušča z gore.
22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath.
In pri Tabêri, pri Masi in pri Kibrot-Hattaavi ste do besa izzivali Gospoda.
23 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.
Podobno, ko vas je Gospod poslal iz Kadeš Barnée, rekoč: ›Pojdite gor in vzemite v last deželo, ki sem vam jo dal.‹ Potem ste se uprli zoper zapoved Gospoda, svojega Boga in mu niste verjeli niti niste prisluhnili njegovemu glasu.
24 Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.
Od dneva, ko sem vas spoznal, ste bili uporni zoper Gospoda.
25 So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Jehovah had said he would destroy you.
Tako sem padel dol pred Gospodom, štirideset dni in štirideset noči, kakor sem prvič padel dol, ker je Gospod rekel, da vas bo uničil.
26 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.
Molil sem torej h Gospodu in rekel: ›Oh Gospod Bog, ne uniči svojega ljudstva in svoje dediščine, ki si jo odkupil preko svoje veličine, ki si jo s svojo mogočno roko privedel iz Egipta.
27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their profaneness, nor to their sin,
Spomni se svojih služabnikov: Abrahama, Izaka in Jakoba. Ne glej na trmoglavost teh ljudi niti k njihovi zlobnosti niti k njihovemu grehu,
28 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.
da ne bi dežela, od koder si nas privedel, rekla: ›Ker jih Gospod ni bil zmožen privesti v deželo, ki jim jo je obljubil in ker jih je sovražil, jih je privedel ven, da jih pobije v divjini.‹
29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou brought out by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm.
Vendar so tvoje ljudstvo in tvoja dediščina, ki si jih izpeljal s svojo mogočno močjo in s svojim iztegnjenim laktom.‹
