Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, O Israel: Today you are about to cross the Jordan to go in and dispossess nations greater and stronger than you, with large cities fortified to the heavens.
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 The people are strong and tall, the descendants of the Anakim. You know about them, and you have heard it said, “Who can stand up to 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 But understand that today the LORD your God goes across ahead of you as a consuming fire; He will destroy them and subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them swiftly, as the LORD has promised you.
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 When the LORD your God has driven them out before you, do not say in your heart, “Because of my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land.” Rather, the LORD is driving out these nations before you because of their wickedness.
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 It is not because of your righteousness or uprightness of heart that you are going in to possess their land, but it is because of their wickedness that the LORD your God is driving out these nations before you, to keep the promise He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and 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 Understand, then, that it is not because of your righteousness that the LORD your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you 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 this, and never forget how you provoked the LORD your God in the wilderness. From the day you left the land of Egypt until you reached this place, you have been rebelling against the LORD.
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 At Horeb you provoked the LORD, and He was angry enough 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 went up on the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant that the LORD made with you, I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I ate no bread and drank no 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 Then the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, inscribed by the finger of God with the exact words that the LORD spoke to you out of the fire on the mountain on 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 at the end of forty days and forty nights, the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, 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 the LORD said to me, “Get up and go down from here at once, for your people, whom you brought out of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves 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 The LORD also said to me, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.
Nadalje mi je Gospod spregovoril, rekoč: ›Videl sem to ljudstvo in glej, to je trdovratno ljudstvo.
14 Leave Me alone, so that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven. Then I will make you into a nation mightier and greater than they are.”
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 went back down the mountain while it was blazing with fire, with the two tablets of the covenant in my 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 saw how you had sinned against the LORD your God; you had made for yourselves a molten calf. You had turned aside quickly from the way that the LORD 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 So I took the two tablets and threw them out of my hands, shattering them before your eyes.
Vzel sem dve plošči in ju vrgel iz svojih dveh rok ter ju razbil pred vašimi očmi.
18 Then I fell down before the LORD for forty days and forty nights, as I had done the first time. I did not eat bread or drink water because of all the sin you had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD and provoking 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 wrath that the LORD had directed against you, enough to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me this time as well.
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 The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him, but at that time I also prayed for Aaron.
Gospod je bil zelo jezen nad Aronom, da bi ga uničil, jaz pa sem isti čas molil za Arona.
21 And I took that sinful thing, the calf you had made, and burned it in the fire. Then I crushed it and ground it to powder as fine as dust, and I cast it into the stream that came down from the mountain.
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 You continued to provoke the LORD at Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah.
In pri Tabêri, pri Masi in pri Kibrot-Hattaavi ste do besa izzivali Gospoda.
23 And when the LORD sent you out from Kadesh-barnea, He said, “Go up and possess the land that I have given you.” But you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God. You neither believed Him nor obeyed Him.
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 You have been rebelling against the LORD since the day I came to know you.
Od dneva, ko sem vas spoznal, ste bili uporni zoper Gospoda.
25 So I fell down before the LORD for forty days and forty nights, because the LORD 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 the LORD and said, “O Lord GOD, do not destroy Your people, Your inheritance, whom You redeemed through Your greatness and brought 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 Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Overlook the stubbornness of this people and the wickedness of 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 Otherwise, those in the land from which You brought us out will say, ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land He had promised 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 But they are Your people, Your inheritance, whom You brought out by Your great power and outstretched arm.”
Vendar so tvoje ljudstvo in tvoja dediščina, ki si jih izpeljal s svojo mogočno močjo in s svojim iztegnjenim laktom.‹
