< Deuteronomy 1 >
1 These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel in the wilderness east of the Jordan—in the Arabah opposite Suph—between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
Ovo su rijeèi koje govori Mojsije svemu Izrailju s onu stranu Jordana, u pustinji, u polju prema Crvenome Moru, izmeðu Farana i Tofola i Lovona i Asirota i Dizava,
2 It is an eleven-day journey from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea by way of Mount Seir.
Jedanaest dana hoda od Horiva preko gore Sira do Kadis-Varnije.
3 In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses proclaimed to the Israelites all that the LORD had commanded him concerning them.
A bješe èetrdesete godine prvi dan jedanaestoga mjeseca, kad Mojsije kaza sinovima Izrailjevijem sve što mu bješe zapovjedio Gospod da im kaže,
4 This was after he had defeated Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and then at Edrei had defeated Og king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth.
Pošto ubi Siona cara Amorejskoga koji življaše u Esevonu, i Oga cara Vasanskoga koji življaše u Astarotu i u Edrainu.
5 On the east side of the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this law, saying:
S onu stranu Jordana u zemlji Moavskoj poèe Mojsije kazivati ovaj zakon govoreæi:
6 The LORD our God said to us at Horeb: “You have stayed at this mountain long enough.
Gospod Bog naš reèe nam na Horivu govoreæi: dosta ste bili na ovoj gori.
7 Resume your journey and go to the hill country of the Amorites; go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the foothills, in the Negev, and along the seacoast to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great River Euphrates.
Obrnite se i podignite se i idite ka gori Amorejskoj i u svu okolinu njezinu, u ravnice i u brda i u doline, i na jug i na bregove morske, u zemlju Hanansku i na Livan i do rijeke velike, rijeke Efrata.
8 See, I have placed the land before you. Enter and possess the land that the LORD swore He would give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants after them.”
Eto, dao sam vam zemlju, uðite u nju, i uzmite zemlju, za koju se zakleo Gospod ocima vašim, Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu, da æe im je dati i sjemenu njihovu nakon njih.
9 At that time I said to you, “I cannot carry the burden for you alone.
I rekoh vam onda govoreæi: ne mogu vas nositi sam.
10 The LORD your God has multiplied you, so that today you are as numerous as the stars in the sky.
Gospod Bog vaš umnožio vas je, i eto vas danas ima mnogo kao zvijezda nebeskih.
11 May the LORD, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times over and bless you as He has promised.
Gospod Bog otaca vaših da vas umnoži još tisuæu puta više, i da vas blagoslovi kao što vam je kazao.
12 But how can I bear your troubles, burdens, and disputes all by myself?
Kako bih ja sam nosio muke vaše, bremena vaša i raspre vaše?
13 Choose for yourselves wise, understanding, and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will appoint them as your leaders.”
Dajte iz plemena svojih ljude mudre i vješte i poznate da vam ih postavim za starješine.
14 And you answered me and said, “What you propose to do is good.”
Tada mi odgovoriste i rekoste: dobro je da se uèini što si kazao.
15 So I took the leaders of your tribes, wise and respected men, and appointed them as leaders over you—as commanders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens, and as officers for your tribes.
Tada uzevši starješine od plemena vaših, ljude mudre i poznate, postavih vam ih za starješine, za tisuænike i stotinare i pedesetare i desetare i upravitelje po plemenima vašim.
16 At that time I charged your judges: “Hear the disputes between your brothers, and judge fairly between a man and his brother or a foreign resident.
I zapovjedih onda sudijama vašim govoreæi: saslušavajte raspre meðu braæom svojom i sudite pravo izmeðu èovjeka i brata njegova i izmeðu došljaka koji je s njim.
17 Show no partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be intimidated by anyone, for judgment belongs to God. And bring to me any case too difficult for you, and I will hear it.”
Ne gledajte ko je ko na sudu, saslušajte i maloga i velikoga, ne bojte se nikoga, jer je sud Božji, a stvar koja bi vam bila teška iznesite preda me da je èujem.
18 And at that time I commanded you all the things you were to do.
I zapovjedih vam onda sve što æete èiniti.
19 And just as the LORD our God had commanded us, we set out from Horeb and went toward the hill country of the Amorites, through all the vast and terrifying wilderness you have seen. When we reached Kadesh-barnea,
Potom otišavši od Horiva prijeðosmo svu onu pustinju veliku i strašnu, koju vidjeste, iduæi ka gori Amorejskoj, kao što nam zapovjedi Gospod Bog naš, i doðosmo do Kadis-Varnije.
20 I said: “You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God is giving us.
Tada vam rekoh: doðoste do gore Amorejske, koju nam daje Gospod Bog naš.
21 See, the LORD your God has placed the land before you. Go up and take possession of it as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.”
Gle, dao ti je Gospod Bog tvoj tu zemlju, idi i uzmi je, kao što ti je rekao Gospod Bog otaca tvojih; ne boj se, i ne plaši se.
22 Then all of you approached me and said, “Let us send men ahead of us to search out the land and bring us word of what route to follow and which cities to enter.”
A vi svi doðoste k meni i rekoste: da pošljemo ljude pred sobom da nam uhode zemlju, i da nam jave za put kojim æemo iæi i za gradove u koje æemo doæi,
23 The plan seemed good to me, so I selected twelve men from among you, one from each tribe.
I to mi bi po volji, i uzeh izmeðu vas dvanaest ljudi, iz svakoga plemena po jednoga;
24 They left and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied out the land.
I oni se podigoše i izašavši na goru doðoše do potoka Eshola, i uhodiše zemlju;
25 They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands, carried it down to us, and brought us word: “It is a good land that the LORD our God is giving us.”
I nabraše roda one zemlje i donesoše nam, i javiše nam govoreæi: dobra je zemlja, koju nam daje Gospod Bog naš.
26 But you were unwilling to go up; you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God.
Ali ne htjeste iæi nego se suprotiste zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega.
27 You grumbled in your tents and said, “Because the LORD hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to be annihilated.
I vikaste u šatorima svojim govoreæi: mrzi na nas Gospod, zato nas izvede iz zemlje Misirske, da nas da u ruke Amorejcima i da nas potre.
28 Where can we go? Our brothers have made our hearts melt, saying: ‘The people are larger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the heavens. We even saw the descendants of the Anakim there.’”
Kuda da idemo? braæa naša uplašiše srce naše govoreæi: narod je veæi i viši od nas, gradovi su veliki i ograðeni do neba, pa i sinove Enakove vidjesmo ondje.
29 So I said to you: “Do not be terrified or afraid of them!
A ja vam rekoh: ne plašite se i ne bojte ih se.
30 The LORD your God, who goes before you, will fight for you, just as you saw Him do for you in Egypt
Gospod Bog vaš, koji ide pred vama, on æe se biti za vas onako kako vam je uèinio u Misiru na vaše oèi,
31 and in the wilderness, where the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way by which you traveled until you reached this place.”
I u pustinji, gdje si vidio kako te je nosio Gospod Bog tvoj, kao što èovjek nosi sina svojega, cijelijem putem kojim ste išli dokle doðoste do ovoga mjesta.
32 But in spite of all this, you did not trust the LORD your God,
Ali zato opet ne vjerovaste Gospodu Bogu svojemu,
33 who went before you on the journey, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day, to seek out a place for you to camp and to show you the road to travel.
Koji iðaše pred vama putem tražeæi vam mjesto gdje biste stali, iðaše noæu u ognju da vam svijetli putem kojim biste išli, a danju u oblaku.
34 When the LORD heard your words, He grew angry and swore an oath, saying,
I èu Gospod glas rijeèi vaših, i razgnjevi se i zakle se govoreæi:
35 “Not one of the men of this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your fathers,
Nijedan od ovoga roda zloga neæe vidjeti ove dobre zemlje, za koju se zakleh da æu dati vašim ocima,
36 except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land on which he has set foot, because he followed the LORD wholeheartedly.”
Osim Haleva sina Jefonijina; on æe je vidjeti, i njemu æu dati zemlju po kojoj je išao, i sinovima njegovijem, jer se sasvijem držao Gospoda.
37 The LORD was also angry with me on your account, and He said, “Not even you shall enter the land.
Pa i na mene se razgnjevi Gospod s vas; i reèe: ni ti neæeš uæi onamo.
38 Joshua son of Nun, who stands before you, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will enable Israel to inherit the land.
Isus sin Navin, koji te služi, on æe uæi onamo, njega utvrdi; jer æe je on razdijeliti sinovima Izrailjevijem u našljedstvo.
39 And the little ones you said would become captives—your children who on that day did not know good from evil—will enter the land that I will give them, and they will possess it.
A djeca vaša, za koju rekoste da æe postati roblje, sinovi vaši, koji danas ne znaju ni šta je dobro ni šta je zlo, oni æe uæi onamo, i njima æu je dati i oni æe je naslijediti.
40 But you are to turn back and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
Vi pak vratite se i idite u pustinju k Crvenome Moru.
41 “We have sinned against the LORD,” you replied. “We will go up and fight, as the LORD our God has commanded us.” Then each of you put on his weapons of war, thinking it easy to go up into the hill country.
A vi odgovoriste i rekoste mi: sagriješismo Gospodu; iæi æemo i biæemo se sasvijem kako nam je zapovjedio Gospod Bog naš. I uzevši svaki svoje oružje htjeste izaæi na goru.
42 But the LORD said to me, “Tell them not to go up and fight, for I am not with you to keep you from defeat by your enemies.”
A Gospod mi reèe: kaži im: ne idite i ne bijte se, jer nijesam meðu vama, da ne izginete pred neprijateljima svojim.
43 So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the command of the LORD and presumptuously went up into the hill country.
I ja vam rekoh; ali ne poslušaste, nego se oprijeste zapovijesti Gospodnjoj, i navaliste na goru.
44 Then the Amorites who lived in the hills came out against you and chased you like a swarm of bees. They routed you from Seir all the way to Hormah.
Tada izidoše pred vas Amoreji, koji sjeðahu u onoj planini, i pognaše vas kao što èine pèele, i pobiše vas na Siru pa do Orme.
45 And you returned and wept before the LORD, but He would not listen to your voice or give ear to you.
I vrativši se plakaste pred Gospodom, ali Gospod ne posluša glasa vašega niti okrete uha svojega k vama.
46 For this reason you stayed in Kadesh for a long time—a very long time.
I ostadoste u Kadisu dugo vremena dokle ondje stajaste.
