Deuteronomy 7
1 When the Lord your God takes you into the land where you are going, which is to be your heritage, and has sent out the nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you;
Kad te Jahve, Bog tvoj, uvede u zemlju u koju ideš da je zaposjedneš i kad ispred tebe otjera mnoge narode: Hetite, Girgašane, Amorejce, Kanaance, Perižane, Hivijce i Jebusejce - sedam naroda brojnijih i jačih od tebe -
2 And when the Lord has given them up into your hands and you have overcome them, give them up to complete destruction: make no agreement with them, and have no mercy on them:
te kad ih Jahve, Bog tvoj, preda tebi i ti ih poraziš, udari ih prokletstvom; nemoj sklapati s njima saveza niti im iskazuj milosti.
3 Do not take wives or husbands from among them; do not give your daughters to their sons, or take their daughters for your sons.
Ne sklapaj ženidbe s njima, ne udavaj svoje kćeri za njihova sina niti ženi svoga sina njihovom kćeri;
4 For through them your sons will be turned from me to the worship of other gods: and the Lord will be moved to wrath against you and send destruction on you quickly.
jer bi ona odvratila od mene sina tvoga; drugim bi bogovima on služio; Jahve bi se razgnjevio protiv vas i brzo bi te istrijebio.
5 But this is what you are to do to them: their altars are to be pulled down and their pillars broken, and their holy trees cut down and their images burned with fire.
Nego ovako učinite prema njima: porušite njihove žrtvenike, porazbijajte njihove stupove, njihove ašere počupajte a njihove kumire spalite.
6 For you are a holy people to the Lord your God: marked out by the Lord your God to be his special people out of all the nations on the face of the earth.
TÓa ti si narod posvećen Jahvi, Bogu svome; tebe je Jahve, Bog tvoj, izabrao da među svim narodima koji su na zemlji budeš njegov predragi vlastiti narod.
7 The Lord did not give you his love or take you for himself because you were more in number than any other people; for you were the smallest of the nations:
Nije vas Jahve odabrao i prihvatio zato što biste vi bili brojniji od svih naroda - vi ste zapravo najmanji -
8 But because of his love for you, and in order to keep his oath to your fathers, the Lord took you out with the strength of his hand, making you free from the prison-house and from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.
nego zato što vas Jahve ljubi i drži zakletvu kojom se zakleo vašim ocima. Stoga vas je Jahve izveo jakom rukom i oslobodio vas iz kuće ropstva, ispod vlasti faraona, kralja egipatskoga.
9 Be certain, then, that the Lord your God is God; whose faith and mercy are unchanging, who keeps his word through a thousand generations to those who have love for him and keep his laws;
Zato znaj da je Jahve, Bog tvoj, pravi Bog, Bog vjeran, koji drži svoj Savez i milost svoju iskazuje do tisuću koljena onima koji ga ljube i drže njegove zapovijedi.
10 Rewarding his haters to their face with destruction; he will have no mercy on his hater, but will give him open punishment.
A onima koji ga mrze uzvraća izravno njima samima; uništava bez odgađanja onoga koji ga mrzi: uzvraća izravno njemu samomu.
11 So keep the orders and the laws and the decisions which I give you today and do them.
Stoga drži zapovijedi, zakone i uredbe koje ti danas nalažem da ih vršiš.
12 And it will be, that if you give attention to these decisions and keep and do them, then the Lord will keep his agreement with you and his mercy, as he said in his oath to your fathers.
A za nagradu - budeš li slušao ove naloge, držao ih te izvršavao - Jahve, Bog tvoj, držat će ti Savez svoj i milost za koje se zakleo tvojim ocima.
13 And he will give you his love, blessing you and increasing you: he will send his blessing on the offspring of your body and the fruit of your land, your grain and your wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock, in the land which by his oath to your fathers he undertook to give you.
Ljubit će te, blagoslivljati i razmnažati; blagoslivljat će plod utrobe tvoje i rod zemlje tvoje: žito tvoje, vino tvoje, ulje tvoje, mlad krava tvojih i prirast stoke tvoje u zemlji za koju se zakleo ocima tvojim da će je tebi dati.
14 You will have greater blessings than any other people: no male or female among you or among your cattle will be without offspring.
Bit ćeš blagoslovljen nad sve narode; neće u tebe biti ni neplodna ni neplodne, ni među tvojom čeljadi ni među stokom tvojom.
15 And the Lord will take away from you all disease, and will not put on you any of the evil diseases of Egypt which you have seen, but will put them on your haters.
Jahve će od tebe maknuti svaku bolest; neće na te pustiti ni jedno od strašnih zala egipatskih za koja znaš nego će njima pritiskati one koji te mrze.
16 And you are to send destruction on all the peoples which the Lord your God gives into your hands; have no pity on them, and do not give worship to their gods; for that will be a cause of sin to you.
Uništavaj sve narode koje ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, bude predavao. Neka ih ne sažaljuje oko tvoje. Nemoj se klanjati njihovim kumirima, jer bi ti to bilo zamkom.
17 If you say in your hearts, These nations are greater in number than we are: how are we to take their land from them?
Možda ćeš u svome srcu reći: 'Oni su narodi brojniji od mene, kako ću ih onda protjerati?'
18 Have no fear of them, but keep well in mind what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt;
Ne boj ih se! Sjeti se što je Jahve, Bog tvoj, učinio faraonu i svemu Egiptu!
19 The great punishments which your eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders and the strong hand and the stretched-out arm, by which the Lord your God took you out: so will the Lord your God do to all the peoples who are the cause of your fears.
Pomisli na velike kušnje što si ih vidio na svoje oči; na one znakove i čudesa pa na jaku ruku i ispruženu mišicu kojima te Jahve, Bog tvoj, izveo. Tako će Jahve, Bog tvoj, učiniti sa svim narodima kojih se plašiš.
20 And the Lord will send a hornet among them, till all the rest who have kept themselves safe from you in secret places have been cut off.
Povrh toga, među njih će Jahve, Bog tvoj, slati stršljene dok ne izginu koji bi preostali i sakrili se pred tobom.
21 Have no fear of them: for the Lord your God is with you, a great God greatly to be feared.
Ne strepi, dakle, pred njima! TÓa Jahve, Bog tvoj, u sredini je tvojoj, Bog silan i strahovit.
22 The Lord your God will send out the nations before you little by little; they are not to be rooted out quickly, for fear that the beasts of the field may be increased overmuch against you.
Malo će pomalo Jahve, Bog tvoj, ispred tebe uništiti one narode; i nećeš ih moći ujedanput sve istrijebiti da se zvijeri ne bi protiv tebe razmnožile.
23 But the Lord your God will give them up into your hands, overpowering them till their destruction is complete.
Ali Jahve, Bog tvoj, tebi će ih predati i među njih unositi stravu dok ne budu uništeni.
24 He will give their kings into your hands, and you will put their names out of existence under heaven; there is not one of them who will not give way before you, till their destruction is complete.
I njihove će kraljeve predati u tvoje ruke da zatreš ime njihovo pod nebom. Nijedan se neće održati pred tobom dok ih ne uništiš.
25 The images of their gods are to be burned with fire: have no desire for the gold and silver on them, and do not take it for yourselves, for it will be a danger to you: it is a thing disgusting to the Lord your God:
Likove njihovih kumira spali! Ne hlepi za srebrom i zlatom što je na njima; ne uzimlji ga da ne budeš njime zaveden; jer bi to bilo gadno Jahvi, Bogu tvome.
26 And you may not take a disgusting thing into your house, and so become cursed with its curse: but keep yourselves from it, turning from it with fear and hate, for it is a cursed thing.
Ne unosi gnusobe u svoju kuću da ne budeš udaren prokletstvom kao i ona; duboko je prezri i grozi se od nje jer je prokleta.
