Deuteronomy 8
1 You must carefully follow every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may live and multiply, and enter and possess the land that the LORD swore to give your fathers.
Držite i tvorite sve zapovijesti koje vam ja zapovijedam danas, da biste živi bili i umnožili se, i da biste ušli u zemlju za koju se Gospod zakleo ocima vašim, i da biste je naslijedili.
2 Remember that these forty years the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness, so that He might humble you and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His commandments.
I opominji se svega puta kojim te je vodio Gospod Bog tvoj èetrdeset godina po pustinji, da bi te namuèio i iskušao, da se zna šta ti je u srcu, hoæeš li držati zapovijesti njegove ili neæeš.
3 He humbled you, and in your hunger He gave you manna to eat, which neither you nor your fathers had known, so that you might understand that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
I muèio te je, i glaðu te morio; ali te je opet hranio manom, za koju ti nijesi znao ni oci tvoji, da bi ti pokazao da èovjek ne živi o samom hljebu nego o svemu što izlazi iz usta Gospodnjih.
4 Your clothing did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.
Odijelo tvoje ne ovetša na tebi niti noga tvoja oteèe za ovijeh èetrdeset godina;
5 So know in your heart that just as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.
Zato poznaj u srcu svom da te Gospod Bog tvoj gaji kao što èovjek gaji svoje dijete.
6 Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, walking in His ways and fearing Him.
I drži zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega hodeæi putovima njegovijem i bojeæi se njega.
7 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks and fountains and springs that flow through the valleys and hills;
Jer Gospod Bog tvoj uvešæe te sada u dobru zemlju, u zemlju u kojoj ima dosta potoka i izvora i jezera, što izviru po dolinama i po brdima;
8 a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
U zemlju izobilnu pšenicom i jeèmom i vinovom lozom i smokvama i šipcima, zemlju izobilnu maslinom, od koje biva ulje, i medom;
9 a land where you will eat food without scarcity, where you will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron and whose hills are ready to be mined for copper.
U zemlju, gdje neæeš sirotinjski jesti hljeba, gdje ti neæe ništa nedostajati; u zemlju, gdje je kamenje gvožðe i gdje æeš iz brda njezinijeh sjeæi mjed.
10 When you eat and are satisfied, you are to bless the LORD your God for the good land that He has given you.
Ješæeš i biæeš sit, pa blagosiljaj Gospoda Boga svojega za dobru zemlju koju ti da.
11 Be careful not to forget the LORD your God by failing to keep His commandments and ordinances and statutes, which I am giving you this day.
I èuvaj se da ne zaboraviš Gospoda Boga svojega bacivši u nemar zapovijesti njegove i zakone njegove i uredbe njegove, koje ti ja zapovijedam danas.
12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses in which to dwell,
I kad uzjedeš i nasitiš se, i dobre kuæe naèiniš i u njima staneš živjeti,
13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all that you have is multiplied,
I kad se goveda tvoja i ovce tvoje naplode, i kad ti se namnoži srebro i zlato, i što god imaš kad ti se namnoži,
14 then your heart will become proud, and you will forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
Nemoj da se ponese srce tvoje i zaboraviš Gospoda Boga svojega, koji te je izveo iz zemlje Misirske, iz kuæe ropske;
15 He led you through the vast and terrifying wilderness with its venomous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty and waterless land. He brought you water from the rock of flint.
Koji te je vodio preko one pustinje velike i strašne gdje žive zmije vatrene i skorpije, gdje je suša a nema vode; koji ti je izveo vodu iz tvrdoga kamena;
16 He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers had not known, in order to humble you and test you, so that in the end He might cause you to prosper.
Koji te je hranio u pustinji manom, za koju ne znaše oci tvoji, da bi te namuèio i iskušao te, i najposlije da bi ti dobro uèinio.
17 You might say in your heart, “The power and strength of my hands have made this wealth for me.”
Niti govori u srcu svojem: moja snaga, i sila moje ruke dobavila mi je ovo blago.
18 But remember that it is the LORD your God who gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers even to this day.
Nego se opominji Gospoda Boga svojega; jer ti on daje snagu da dobavljaš blago, da bi potvrdio zavjet svoj, za koji se zakleo ocima tvojim, kao što se vidi danas.
19 If you ever forget the LORD your God and go after other gods to worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely perish.
Ako li zaboraviš Gospoda Boga svojega, i poðeš za drugim bogovima i njima staneš služiti i klanjati se, svjedoèim vam danas da æete zacijelo propasti,
20 Like the nations that the LORD has destroyed before you, so you will perish if you do not obey the LORD your God.
Propašæete kao narodi koje Gospod potire ispred vas, jer ne poslušaste glasa Gospoda Boga svojega.
