Deuteronomy 1

1 These [are] the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side Jordan in the desert towards the west near the Red Sea, between Pharan Tophol, and Lobon, and Aulon, and the gold works.

Ovo su riječi što ih je Mojsije upravio svemu Izraelu s onu stranu Jordana - u pustinji, u Arabi nasuprot Sufu, između Parana i Tofela, Labana, Hazerota i Di Zahaba -

2 [It is] a journey of eleven days from Choreb to mount Seir as far as Cades Barne.

od Horeba do Kadeš Barnee, Seirskom gorom, jedanaest dana hoda.

3 And it came to pass in the forties year, in the eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, Moses spoke to all the children of Israel, according to all things which the Lord commanded him for them:

Bilo je to godine četrdesete, prvog dana mjeseca jedanaestoga, kad Mojsije reče Izraelcima sve što mu je Jahve za njih naređivao.

4 after he had struck Seon king of the Amorites who lived in Esebon, and Og the king of Basan who lived in Astaroth and in Edrain;

Pošto je porazio amorejskoga kralja Sihona, koji je živio u Hešbonu, i bašanskoga kralja Oga, koji je živio u Aštarotu i Edreju,

5 beyond Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,

dakle s onu stranu Jordana, u zemlji moapskoj, poče Mojsije razlagati ovaj Zakon. Govoraše on:

6 The Lord your God spoke to us in Choreb, saying, Let it suffice you to have lived [so long] in this mountain.

“Jahve, Bog naš, reče nam na Horebu: 'Dosta ste boravili na ovome brdu.

7 Turn you and depart and enter into the mountain of the Amorites, and [go] to all that dwell near about Araba, to the mountain and the plain and to the south, and the land of the Chananites near the sea, and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

Krenite na put! Idite u gorski kraj Amorejaca i svih njihovih susjeda, u Arabu, u Gorje, u Šefelu i u Negeb, na morsku obalu, u zemlju kanaansku i u Libanon, sve do Velike rijeke, rijeke Eufrata.

8 Behold, [God] has delivered the land before you; go in and inherit the land, which I sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give it to them and to their seed after them.

Eto, pred vas stavljam ovu zemlju. Idite, dakle, i zauzmite zemlju za koju se Jahve zakle ocima vašim, Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu, da će je dati njima i njihovu potomstvu poslije njih.'

9 And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I shall not be able by myself to bear you.

Tada sam vam rekao: 'Ne mogu vas voditi sam.

10 The Lord your God has multiplied you, and, behold, you are today as the stars of heaven for multitude.

Jahve, Bog vaš, toliko vas je razmnožio da vas danas ima kao zvijezda na nebu.

11 The Lord God of your fathers add to you a thousand-fold more than you are, and bless you as he has spoken to you.

Neka vas Jahve, Bog vaših otaca, umnoži još tisuću puta! Neka vas blagoslivlja kako vam je obećao!

12 How shall I alone be able to bear your labour, and your burden, and your gainsayings?

Ali kako bih ja sam mogao nositi vaš teret, vaše breme i vaše sporove?

13 Take to yourselves wise and understanding and prudent men for your tribes, and I will set your leaders over you.

Izaberite stoga iz svojih plemena ljude pametne, iskusne i ugledne da vam ih postavim za poglavare.'

14 And you answered me and said, The thing which you have told us [is] good to do.

Vi ste mi odgovorili: 'Dobro je što predlažeš.'

15 So I took of you wise and understanding and prudent men, and I set them to rule over you as rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, and rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and officers to your judges.

Zato sam uzeo prvake iz vaših plemena, ljude pametne i ugledne, te ih postavio za poglavare: tisućnike, stotnike, pedesetnike, desetnike i vaše plemenske nadglednike.

16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [causes] between your brethren, and judge rightly between a man and [his] brother, and the stranger that is with him.

U to isto vrijeme naložio sam i vašim sucima: 'Saslušajte svoju braću; sudite pravedno između čovjeka i njegova brata ili pridošlice.

17 You shall not have respect to persons in judgement, you shall judge small and great equally; you shall not shrink from before the person of a man, for the judgement is God's; and whatever matter shall be too hard for you, you shall bring it to me, and I will hear it.

U suđenju nemojte biti pristrani; saslušavajte maloga kao i velikoga. Ne bojte se nikoga! TÓa sud je Božji! Ako vam koji slučaj bude pretežak, iznesite ga meni, da ga ja razvidim.'

18 And I charged upon you at that time all the commands which you shall perform.

Tako sam vam onda naložio sve što vam je činiti.

19 And we departed from Choreb, and went through all that great wilderness and terrible, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite, as the Lord our God charged us, and we came as far as Cades Barne.

Krenusmo iz Horeba i, na putu u gorske krajeve Amorejaca, kako nam je naredio Jahve, Bog naš, prijeđosmo svu onu veliku i strašnu pustinju koju ste vidjeli. Stigosmo u Kadeš Barneu.

20 And I said to you, You have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to you:

Tada vam rekoh: 'Došli ste u gorski kraj Amorejaca, koji nam Jahve, Bog naš, daje.

21 behold, the Lord your God has delivered to us the land before you: go up and inherit it as the Lord God of your fathers said to you; fear not, neither be afraid.

Eto, Jahve, Bog tvoj, stavio je preda te tu zemlju. Ustaj! Zaposjedni je, kako ti je rekao Jahve, Bog otaca tvojih. Ne boj se! Ne strahuj!'

22 And you all came to me, and said, Let us send men before us, and let them go up to the land for us; and let them bring back to us a report of the way by which we shall go up, and of the cities into which we shall enter.

Svi ste onda došli k meni i rekli: 'Pošaljimo pred sobom ljude da izvide zemlju i jave nam o putu kojim ćemo ići i o gradovima u koje ćemo doći.'

23 And the saying pleased me: and I took of you twelve men, one man of a tribe.

Svidje mi se što rekoste. Zato uzeh dvanaest ljudi između vas, po jednoga iz svakog plemena.

24 And they turned and went up to the mountain, and they came as far as the valley of the cluster, and surveyed it.

Krenuli su na pogorje, stigli do Eškolske doline te izvidjeli kraj.

25 And they took in their hands of the fruit of the land, and brought it to you, and said, The land is good which the Lord our God gives us.

I nabraše plodova one zemlje, donesoše ih k nama i javiše: 'Zemlja koju nam daje Jahve, Bog naš, dobra je.'

26 Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the words of the Lord our God.

Ali vi niste htjeli onamo; pobunili ste se protiv naredbe Jahve, Boga svoga.

27 And you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us.

Rogoborili ste u svojim šatorima i govorili: 'U svojoj mržnji na nas Jahve nas je izveo iz zemlje egipatske da nas preda u ruke Amorejaca, kako bi nas posve uništili.

28 Whither do we go up? and your brethren drew away your heart, saying, [It is a] great nation and populous, and mightier than we; and [there are] cities great and walled up to heaven: moreover we saw there the sons of the giants.

Kamo da idemo? Naša su braća ubila u nama srčanost kad rekoše: Narod je i veći i jači nego mi; gradovi su veliki, i zidine im sežu do nebesa. A vidjeli smo ondje i Anakovce.'

29 And I said to you, Fear not, neither be you afraid of them;

'Ne bojte se!' - rekoh vam. - 'Ne plašite ih se!

30 the Lord your God who goes before your face, he shall fight against them together with you effectually, according to all that he wrought for you in the land of Egypt;

Jahve, Bog vaš, koji ide pred vama, borit će se za vas kako je to učinio na vaše oči u Egiptu.'

31 and in this wilderness which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite; how the Lord your God will bear you as a nursling, as if any man should nurse his child, through all the way which you have gone until you came to this place.

A vidio si, uostalom, i u pustinji, gdje te Jahve, Bog tvoj, cijeloga puta što ste ga prevalili dok ste stigli do ovoga mjesta, nosio kao što čovjek nosi svoga sinčića.

32 And in this matter you believed not the Lord our God,

Ali, unatoč tome, vi niste imali pouzdanja u Jahvu, Boga svoga,

33 who goes before you in the way to choose you a place, guiding you in fire by night, showing you the way by which you go, and a cloud by day.

u onoga koji je na putu išao pred vama da vam potraži mjesto za taborovanje - u ognju obnoć da vam osvijetli put kojim ćete ići, a obdan u oblaku.

34 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and being greatly provoked he sware, saying,

Jahve ču graju vašu i zakle se u svojoj srdžbi:

35 Not one of these men shall see this good land, which I sware to their fathers,

'Ni jedan jedini od ovih ljudi, od ovoga opakog naraštaja, neće vidjeti ove dobre zemlje za koju sam se zakleo da ću je dati vašim ocima.

36 except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, he shall see it; and to him I will give the land on which he went up, and to his sons, because he attended to the things of the Lord.

Izuzimam Kaleba, sina Jefuneova. On će je vidjeti; njemu i njegovim potomcima dat ću zemlju kojom je išao, jer je vjerno slijedio Jahvu.'

37 And the Lord was angry with me for your sake, saying, Neither shall you by any means enter therein.

Zbog vas se Jahve i na mene razljutio te mi rekao: 'Ni ti onamo nećeš ući.

38 Joshua the son of Naue, who stands by you, he shall enter in there; do you strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

Ući će onamo Jošua, sin Nunov, koji te služi. Njega ti osokoli, jer će on uvesti Izraela u posjed.

39 And every young child who this day knows not good or evil, —they shall enter therein, and to them I will give it, and they shall inherit it.

A i vaši mališani, o kojima rekoste da će postati roblje, sinovi vaši koji još ne znaju razlikovati dobro i zlo, oni će u nju ući; njima ću je u posjed dati.

40 And you turned and marched into the wilderness, in the way by the Red Sea.

A vi se okrenite i zaputite u pustinju, prema Crvenome moru!'

41 And you answered and said, We have sinned before the Lord our God; we will go up and fight according to all that the Lord our God has commanded us: and having taken every one his weapons of war, and being gathered together, you went up to the mountain.

Vi ste mi tada odgovorili riječima: 'Sagriješili smo protiv Jahve. Poći ćemo gore i boriti se kako nam je Jahve, Bog naš, zapovjedio.' Svaki od vas dohvati svoje oružje i nepromišljeno pođe gore u brda.

42 And the Lord said to me, Tell them, You shall not go up, neither shall you fight, for I am not with you; thus shall you not be destroyed before your enemies.

Onda mi Jahve reče: 'Kaži im: Ne idite gore i ne stupajte u borbu da vas ne poraze vaši neprijatelji jer ja nisam među vama.'

43 And I spoke to you, and you did not listen to me; and you transgressed the commandment of the Lord; and you forced your way and went up into the mountain.

Tako sam vam i govorio, ali niste poslušali. Oprli ste se zapovijedi Jahvinoj i, puni drskosti, krenuli u brda.

44 And the Amorite who lived in that mountain came out to meet you, and pursued you as bees do, and wounded you from Seir to Herma.

Ali Amorejci, koji žive u onome gorju, udariše na vas, pognaše vas, za vama se natisnuše kao pčele te su vas tukli od Seira do Horme.

45 And you sat down and wept before the Lord our God, and the Lord listened not to your voice, neither did he take heed to you.

Vrativši se, plakali ste pred Jahvom, ali Jahve nije slušao vašega jauka niti je okrenuo svoga uha k vama.

46 And you lived in Cades many days, as many days as you lived [there].

U Kadešu vam valjade ostati dugo vremena, onoliko koliko ste već ostali.
