Deuteronomy 4
1 And now, Israel, hear the ordinances and judgments, all that I teach you this day to do: that ye may live, and be multiplied, and that ye may go in and inherit the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you.
“A sada, Izraele, poslušaj zakone i uredbe kojima vas učim da biste ih vršili i tako poživjeli te unišli i zaposjeli zemlju koju vam daje Jahve, Bog otaca vaših.
2 Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, and ye shall not take from it: keep the commandments of the Lord our God, all that I command you this day.
Niti što nadodajite onome što vam zapovijedam niti što od toga oduzimljite; vršite zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, što vam ih dajem.
3 Your eyes have seen all that the Lord our God did in [the case of] Beel-phegor; for every man that went after Beel-phegor, the Lord your God has utterly destroyed him from among you.
Vidjeli ste svojim očima što je Jahve učinio s Baal Peorom: jer Jahve, Bog tvoj, iskorijenio je iz tvoje sredine svakoga koji je slijedio Baal Peora.
4 But ye that kept close to the Lord your God are all alive to-day.
A svi vi koji se čvrsto držite Jahve, Boga svoga, živi ste i danas.
5 Behold, I have shewn you ordinances and judgments as the Lord commanded me, that ye should do so in the land into which ye go to inherit it.
Ja sam vas, eto, poučio o zakonima i uredbama, kako mi je Jahve, Bog moj, naredio da ih vršite u zemlji u koju idete da je zaposjednete.
6 And ye shall keep and do them: for this is your wisdom and understanding before all nations, as many as shall hear all these ordinances; and they shall say, Behold, this great nation [is] a wise and understanding people.
Držite ih i vršite: to će u očima naroda biti vaša mudrost i vaša razboritost. Kad oni čuju za sve ove zakone, reći će: 'Samo je jedan narod mudar i pametan, a to je ovaj veliki narod.'
7 For what manner of nation [is so] great, which has God so near to them as the Lord our God [is] in all things in whatsoever we may call upon him?
Jer koji je to narod tako velik da bi mu bogovi bili tako blizu kao što je Jahve, Bog naš, nama kad god ga zazovemo?
8 And what manner of nation [is so] great, which has righteous ordinances and judgments according to all this law, which I set before you this day?
Koji je to narod tako velik da bi imao zakone i uredbe pravedne kao što je sav ovaj Zakon koji vam ja danas iznosim?
9 Take heed to thyself, and keep thy heart diligently: forget not any of the things, which thine eyes have seen, and let them not depart from thine heart all the days of thy life; and thou shalt teach thy sons and thy sons' sons,
Zato pazi i dobro se čuvaj da ne zaboraviš događaje što si ih svojim očima vidio; neka ti ne iščeznu iz srca ni jednoga dana tvoga života; naprotiv, pouči o njima svoje sinove i sinove svojih sinova.
10 [even the things that happened in] the day in which ye stood before the Lord our God in Choreb in the day of the assembly; for the Lord said to me, Gather the people to me, and let them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days which they live upon the earth, and they shall teach their sons.
Onog dana kad si stajao na Horebu pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, Jahve mi je rekao: 'Skupi mi narod! Hoću da čuju moje riječi, da me se nauče bojati sve vrijeme što budu živjeli na zemlji te da o njima pouče i svoju djecu.'
11 And ye drew nigh and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire up to heaven: [there was] darkness, blackness, [and] tempest.
Vi ste se onda primakli i stali pod brdo. S usplamtjeloga brda plamen je sukljao do sred neba zamračena tmastim oblakom.
12 And the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire a voice of words, which ye heard: and ye saw no likeness, only [ye heard] a voice.
Isred ognja Jahve je govorio vama; čuli ste zvuk riječi, ali lika niste nazreli - ništa osim glasa.
13 And he announced to you his covenant, which he commanded you to keep, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them on two tables of stone.
Objavio vam je svoj Savez i naložio vam da ga vršite - Deset zapovijedi, što ih ispisa na dvije kamene ploče.
14 And the Lord commanded me at that time, to teach you ordinances and judgments, that ye should do them on the land, into which ye go to inherit it.
A meni je Jahve naredio da vas poučim o zakonima i uredbama što ćete ih vršiti u zemlji u koju odlazite da je zaposjednete.
15 And take good heed to your hearts, for ye saw no similitude in the day in which the Lord spoke to you in Choreb in the mountain out of the midst of the fire:
Pazite dobro! Onoga dana kad vam je Jahve, Bog vaš, govorio isred ognja na Horebu, niste vidjeli nikakva lika,
16 lest ye transgress, and make to yourselves a carved image, any kind of figure, the likeness of male or female,
da se ne biste pokvarili te da ne biste pravili sebi kakva klesana lika, kipa muškoga ili ženskoga obličja,
17 the likeness of any beast of those that are on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird which flies under heaven,
ni obličja kakve životinje što je na zemlji, ni obličja kakve ptice što pod nebom lijeta,
18 the likeness of any reptile which creeps on the earth, the likeness of any fish of those which are in the waters under the earth;
ni obličja bilo čega što po zemlji gmiže, ni obličja kakve ribe što je u vodi pod zemljom
19 and lest having looked up to the sky, and having seen the sun and the moon and the stars, and all the heavenly bodies, thou shouldest go astray and worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God has distributed to all the nations under heaven.
i da se ne bi, kad digneš svoje oči prema nebu te vidiš sunce, mjesec i zvijezde - svu nebesku vojsku - dao zavesti da im se klanjaš i da im iskazuješ štovanje. Njih je Jahve, Bog tvoj, dao svim narodima, svugdje pod nebom.
20 But God took you, and led you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as at this day.
A vas je uzeo Jahve i izveo vas iz Egipta - iz one peći ražarene - da postanete narod njegove baštine, to što ste danas.
21 And the Lord God was angry with me for the things said by you, and sware that I should not go over this Jordan, and that I should not enter into the land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
Ali se zbog vas Jahve na me razljutio i zakleo da ja neću prijeći preko Jordana i unići u blaženu zemlju koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje u baštinu.
22 For I am to die in this land, and shall not pass over this Jordan; but ye are to pass over, and shall inherit this good land.
Tako, ja ću umrijeti u ovoj zemlji; ja preko Jordana neću prijeći. A vi ćete prijeći i zaposjesti onu krasnu zemlju.
23 Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the Lord our God, which he made with you, and ye transgress, and make to yourselves a graven image of any of the things concerning which the Lord thy God commanded thee.
Zato pazite da ne zaboravljate Saveza što ga je Jahve, Bog vaš, sklopio s vama te sebi ne pravite klesanih likova bilo čega što je Jahve, Bog tvoj, zabranio.
24 For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Jer Jahve, Bog tvoj, oganj je što proždire; on je Bog ljubomoran.
25 And when thou shalt have begotten sons, and shalt have sons' sons, and ye shall have dwelt a long time on the land, and shall have transgressed, and made a graven image of any thing, and shall have done wickedly before the Lord your God to provoke him;
Kad budete izrodili djecu i unučad i budete dulje u onoj zemlji proboravili, a pokvarite se praveći sebi bilo kakve klesane likove i čineći zlo u očima Jahve, Boga svojega, tako da ga na srdžbu izazovete,
26 I call heaven and earth this day to witness against you, that ye shall surely perish from off the land, into which ye go across Jordan to inherit it there; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall be utterly cut off.
znajte - uzimam za svjedoke protiv vas nebesa i zemlju - da će vas brzo nestati sa zemlje u koju idete preko Jordana da je zaposjednete: nećete dugo u njoj živjeti nego ćete biti iskorijenjeni.
27 And the Lord shall scatter you among all nations, and ye shall be left few in number among all the nations, among which the Lord shall bring you.
Jahve će vas raspršiti po narodima i ostat će vas samo malen broj među narodima među koje vas Jahve odvede.
28 And ye shall there serve other gods, the works of the hands of men, wood and stones, which cannot see, nor can they hear, nor eat, nor smell.
Ondje ćete se klanjati bogovima što su ih ljudske ruke načinile od drveta i kamena, bogovima koji ne mogu ni vidjeti ni čuti, ni jesti ni mirisati.
29 And there ye shall seek the Lord your God, and ye shall find him whenever ye shall seek him with all your heart, and with all your soul in your affliction.
Ondje ćeš tražiti Jahvu, Boga svoga. I naći ćeš ga ako ga budeš tražio svim srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom.
30 And all these things shall come upon thee in the last days, and thou shalt turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt hearken to his voice.
U nevolji tvojoj snaći će te sve to, ali u posljednje vrijeme ti ćeš se obratiti Jahvi, Bogu svomu, i poslušati njegov glas.
31 Because the Lord thy God [is] a God of pity: he will not forsake thee, nor destroy thee; he will not forget the covenant of thy fathers, which the Lord sware to them.
TÓa Jahve, Bog tvoj, Bog je milosrdan; neće te on zapustiti ni upropastiti niti će zaboraviti Saveza što ga je pod zakletvom sklopio s ocima tvojim.
32 Ask of the former days which were before thee, from the day when God created man upon the earth, and [beginning] at the [one] end of heaven to the other end of heaven, if there has happened any thing like to this great event, if such a thing has been heard:
Ispitaj samo prijašnja vremena što su protekla prije tebe, sve otkad je Bog stvorio čovjeka na zemlji: je li ikad, s jednoga kraja nebesa do drugoga, bilo ovako veličanstvena događaja? Je li se što takvo čulo?
33 if a nation have heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard and hast lived;
Je li ikad koji narod čuo glas Boga gdje govori isred ognja kao što si ti čuo i na životu ostao?
34 if God has assayed to go and take to himself a nation out of the midst of [another] nation with trial, and with signs, and with wonders, and with war, and with a mighty hand, and with a high arm, and with great sights, according to all the things which the Lord our God did in Egypt in thy sight.
Ili, pokuša li koji bog da ode i uzme sebi jedan narod isred drugog naroda kušnjama, znakovima, čudesima i ratom, jakom rukom i ispruženom mišicom, uza silne strahote, kao što je sve to, na vaše oči, učinio za vas Jahve, Bog vaš, u Egiptu?
35 So that thou shouldest know that the Lord thy God he is God, and there is none beside him.
Tebi je to pokazano da znaš da je Jahve pravi Bog i da nema drugoga uz njega.
36 His voice was made audible from heaven to instruct thee, and he shewed thee upon the earth his great fire, and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.
S neba ti se oglasio svojim glasom da te pouči; dopustio ti je da vidiš njegov veliki oganj na zemlji; i isred ognja čuo si njegove riječi.
37 Because he loved thy fathers, he also chose you their seed after them, and he brought thee himself with his great strength out of Egypt,
Zbog toga što je ljubio očeve tvoje, izabrao je poslije njih njihovo potomstvo; on, glavom, izveo te iz Egipta svojom silnom moći;
38 to destroy nations great and stronger than thou before thy face, to bring thee in, to give thee their land to inherit, as thou hast it this day.
ispred tebe rastjerao je narode, i brojnije i jače od tebe, da te dovede u njihovu zemlju i preda je tebi u baštinu, kao što je i danas.
39 An thou shalt know this day, and shalt consider in thine heart, that the Lord thy God he [is] God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath, and there is none else but he.
Danas, dakle, spoznaj i zasadi u svoje srce: Jahve je Bog gore na nebu i ovdje na zemlji - drugoga nema.
40 And keep ye his commandments, and his ordinances, all that I command you this day; that it may be well with thee, and with thy sons after thee, that ye may be long-lived upon the earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for ever.
Drži njegove zakone i njegove zapovijedi koje ti dajem danas da dobro bude tebi i tvojoj djeci poslije tebe; da dugo poživiš na zemlji koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje zauvijek.”
41 Then Moses separated three cities beyond Jordan on the east,
Tada Mojsije izabra tri grada preko Jordana, na istočnoj strani,
42 that the slayer might flee thither, who should have slain his neighbour unintentionally, and should not have hated him in times past, and he shall flee to one of these cities and live:
kamo će se moći skloniti ubojica koji nehotice ubije svoga bližnjega a da prije nije imao mržnje prema njemu: da bi, bježeći u koji od ovih gradova, mogao spasiti svoj život.
43 Bosor in the wilderness, in the plain country of Ruben, and Ramoth in Galaad [belonging to] Gad, and Gaulon in Basan [belonging to] Manasse.
To su: Bezer u pustinji, u zemlji Mišoru, za Rubenovce; Ramot u Gileadu za Gadovce, i Golan u Bašanu za Manašeovce.
44 This [is] the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.
Ovo je Zakon što ga je Mojsije postavio pred Izraelce;
45 These [are] the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt:
ovo su upute, zakoni i uredbe što ih je Mojsije dao Izraelcima kad su izišli iz Egipta,
46 on the other side of Jordan, in the valley near the house of Phogor, in the land of Seon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Esebon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel smote when they came out of the land of Egypt.
s one strane Jordana, u dolini nasuprot Bet Peoru, u zemlji amorejskoga kralja Sihona, koji je živio u Hešbonu i koga su potukli Mojsije i Izraelci pošto iziđoše iz Egipta.
47 And they inherited his land, and the land of Og king of Basan, two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan eastward.
Njegovu su zemlju zauzeli i zemlju bašanskoga kralja Oga, dvaju amorejskih kraljeva koji su živjeli preko Jordana na istoku,
48 From Aroer, which is on the border of the brook Arnon, even to the mount of Seon, which is Aermon.
od Aroera, koji se nalazi na obali potoka Arnona, do brda Sirjona, to jest Hermona,
49 All Araba beyond Jordan eastward under Asedoth hewn in the rock.
i svu Arabu preko Jordana, s istoka do mora u Arabi, pod obroncima Pisge.
