Deuteronomy 2
1 Then we turned back and headed for the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, as the LORD had instructed me, and for many days we wandered around Mount Seir.
Onda se okrenusmo i pođosmo u pustinju prema Crvenome moru, kako mi je Jahve naredio. Dugo smo se vrtjeli oko gore Seira.
2 At this time the LORD said to me,
I reče mi Jahve:
3 “You have been wandering around this hill country long enough; turn to the north
'Dosta ste se vrtjeli oko ovoga brda. Okrenite prema sjeveru!'
4 and command the people: ‘You will pass through the territory of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be afraid of you, so you must be very careful.
I narodu naloži ovako: 'Sad ćete proći preko područja svoje braće, potomaka Ezavovih, koji žive u Seiru. Oni se vas boje, ali vi dobro pripazite;
5 Do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as his possession.
s njima ne zamećite boja jer vam neću dati ni stope njihove zemlje: goru Seir predao sam Ezavu u vlasništvo.
6 You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’”
Hranu od njih kupujte za novac da imate što jesti; i vodu za piće kupujte od njih za novac.'
7 Indeed, the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. The LORD your God has been with you these forty years, and you have lacked nothing.
Ta Jahve te, Bog tvoj, blagoslovio u svim djelima tvojih ruku; on je bdio nad tvojim putovanjem onom velikom pustinjom; ovih četrdeset godina Jahve, Bog tvoj, bijaše s tobom i ništa ti nije nedostajalo.
8 So we passed by our brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned away from the Arabah road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion-geber, and traveled along the road of the Wilderness of Moab.
Tako smo svoju braću, potomke Ezavove što žive u Seiru, zaobišli putem što vodi u Arabu, Elat i Esjon Geber, a onda udarismo prema Moapskoj pustinji.
9 Then the LORD said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”
Tada mi zapovjedi Jahve: 'Nemoj uznemirivati Moapce niti s njima zameći boja, jer ništa od njihove zemlje neću dati u tvoje vlasništvo: Lotovim sinovima predao sam Ar u posjed.'
10 (The Emites used to live there, a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites.
Prije su ondje živjeli Emijci. Bio je to moćan narod i brojan; krupna stasa kao i Anakovci.
11 Like the Anakites, they were also regarded as Rephaim, though the Moabites called them Emites.
Poput Anakovaca, i njih smatraju Refaimcima, ali ih Moapci nazivaju Emijcima.
12 The Horites used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau drove them out. They destroyed the Horites from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did in the land that the LORD gave them as their possession.)
Isto su tako u Seiru živjeli prije Horijci, ali su ih Ezavovi potomci izvlastili, istrijebili ih i naselili se na njihovo, kako je, uostalom, učinio Izrael sa zemljom - baštinom svojom - koju mu je Jahve predao.
13 “Now arise and cross over the Brook of Zered.” So we crossed over the Brook of Zered.
'A sada ustanite i prijeđite preko potoka Zereda!' I prijeđosmo potok Zered.
14 The time we spent traveling from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the Brook of Zered was thirty-eight years, until that entire generation of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.
Vrijeme što smo išli od Kadeš Barnee pa dok smo prešli preko potoka Zereda iznosilo je trideset i osam godina - sve dok nije izumro iz tabora sav onaj naraštaj ljudi sposobnih za borbu, kako im se Jahve i zakleo.
15 Indeed, the LORD’s hand was against them, to eliminate them from the camp, until they had all perished.
I zbilja! Ruka Jahvina bila je protiv njih: istrebljivala ih je isred tabora dok ih nije nestalo.
16 Now when all the fighting men among the people had died,
I tako, kad je smrt istrijebila iz naroda sve ljude sposobne za borbu,
17 the LORD said to me,
reče mi Jahve:
18 “Today you are going to cross the border of Moab at Ar.
'Danas prelaziš moapsku zemlju Ar.
19 But when you get close to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the Ammonites. I have given it to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”
A onda ćeš se približiti Amoncima. Nemoj ih uznemirivati niti s njima zameći boja. Ništa, naime, od zemlje Amonaca neću ustupiti tebi u vlasništvo jer sam je već predao u posjed Lotovim potomcima.'
20 (That too was regarded as the land of the Rephaim, who used to live there, though the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.
I nju smatraju refaimskom zemljom. U njoj su prije živjeli Refaimci, koje Amonci zovu Zamzumijcima.
21 They were a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites. But the LORD destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place,
Bio je to narod moćan i brojan; krupna stasa kao i Anakovci. No Jahve ih uništi pred Amoncima - koji ih izvlastiše i naseliše se na njihovo,
22 just as He had done for the descendants of Esau who lived in Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them. They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day.
kako je, uostalom, učinio i potomcima Ezavovim, koji su nastanjeni u Seiru, kad je pred njima uništio Horijce, koje su oni otjerali s posjeda i do danas žive na njihovim mjestima.
23 And the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, were destroyed by the Caphtorites, who came out of Caphtor and settled in their place.)
I Avijce, koji su živjeli po zaseocima sve do Gaze, istrijebiše Kaftorci koji su došli iz Kaftora te se naseliše na njihovo mjesto.
24 “Arise, set out, and cross the Arnon Valley. See, I have delivered into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to take possession of it and engage him in battle.
'Ustajte! Na put krenite i prijeđite preko potoka Arnona. U ruke ti, eto, predajem Amorejca Sihona, kralja hešbonskoga, i njegovu zemlju. Počni s osvajanjem; izazovi ga na boj!
25 This very day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon all the nations under heaven. They will hear the reports of you and tremble in anguish because of you.”
Od danas počinjem ugoniti strah i trepet pred tobom u narode koji su pod svim nebesima, tako da će strepiti i tresti se pred tobom kad god čuju glas o tebi.'
26 So from the Wilderness of Kedemoth I sent messengers with an offer of peace to Sihon king of Heshbon, saying,
Tada sam iz pustinje Kedmot uputio glasnike kralju hešbonskom Sihonu s miroljubivim riječima:
27 “Let us pass through your land; we will stay on the main road. We will not turn to the right or to the left.
'Pusti da prođem preko tvoje zemlje. Samo ću proći putem, ne skrećući ni desno ni lijevo.
28 You can sell us food to eat and water to drink in exchange for silver. Only let us pass through on foot,
Hranu mi prodavaj za novac da mogu jesti; i vodu za piće davaj mi za novac. Pusti me samo da pješice prođem,
29 just as the descendants of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for us, until we cross the Jordan into the land that the LORD our God is giving us.”
da prijeđem preko Jordana u zemlju koju nam daje Jahve, Bog naš - kao što su mi dopustili potomci Ezavovi, nastanjeni u Seiru, i Moapci, što žive u Aru.'
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for the LORD your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as is the case this day.
Ali hešbonski kralj Sihon ne htjede nas pustiti preko svoga; jer Jahve, Bog tvoj, duh mu zaslijepi a srce otvrdnu, da ga preda u tvoje šake, gdje je i danas.
31 Then the LORD said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”
Tada mi reče Jahve: 'Eto sam počeo da ti izručujem Sihona i njegovu zemlju. Počni osvajanje da mu zemljom zagospodariš.'
32 So Sihon and his whole army came out for battle against us at Jahaz.
Kod Jahasa presrete nas Sihon.
33 And the LORD our God delivered him over to us, and we defeated him and his sons and his whole army.
Navali on i sav njegov narod. Ali Jahve, Bog naš, predade nam ga, tako da potukosmo njega, njegove sinove i sav njegov narod.
34 At that time we captured all his cities and devoted to destruction the people of every city, including women and children. We left no survivors.
Tada osvojismo sve njegove gradove i prokletstvom udarismo sve gradove s ljudima, ženama i djecom, ništa ne štedeći,
35 We carried off for ourselves only the livestock and the plunder from the cities we captured.
izuzev stoke, koju uzesmo kao plijen, skupa s plijenom iz gradova što smo ih osvojili.
36 From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the valley, even as far as Gilead, not one city had walls too high for us. The LORD our God gave us all of them.
Od Aroera, koji se nalazi na obali potoka Arnona, i od grada koji je u njegovoj dolini pa do Gileada nije bilo grada koji bi nam odolio: sve nam ih je Jahve, Bog naš, predao.
37 But you did not go near the land of the Ammonites, or the land along the banks of the Jabbok River, or the cities of the hill country, or any place that the LORD our God had forbidden.
Jedino se nisi primicao zemlji Amonaca, kraju uz potok Jabok, i gradovima u pogorju, kako je Jahve, Bog naš, odredio.
