Deuteronomy 8
1 You shall observe to do all the commands which I charge you today, that you may live and be multiplied, and enter in and inherit the land, which the Lord your God sware [to give] to your fathers.
Držite i vršite sve zapovijedi koje vam danas naređujem da biste živjeli i raznmožili se i da biste ušli i zaposjeli zemlju koju je Jahve pod zakletvom obećao ocima vašim.
2 And you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God led you in the wilderness, that he might afflict you, and try you, and that the things in your heart might be made manifest, whether you would keep his commandments or no.
Sjećaj se svega puta kojim te Jahve, Bog tvoj, vodio po pustinji ovih četrdeset godina da te ponizi, iskuša i dozna što ti je u srcu: hoćeš li držati zapovijedi njegove ili nećeš.
3 And he afflicted you and straitened you with hunger, and fed you with manna, which your fathers knew not; that he might teach you that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall man live.
Ponižavao te i glađu morio, a onda te hranio manom - za koju nisi znao ni ti ni tvoji oci - da ti pokaže kako čovjek ne živi samo o kruhu nego da čovjek živi o svemu što izlazi iz usta Jahvinih.
4 Your garments grew not old from off you, your shoes were not worn from off you, your feet were not [painfully] hardened, behold! these forty years.
Tvoja se odjeća na tebi nije izderala niti su ti noge oticale ovih četrdeset godina.
5 And you shall know in your heart, that as if any man should chasten his son, so the Lord your God will chasten you.
Priznaj onda u svome srcu da te Jahve, Bog tvoj, odgaja i popravlja, kao što čovjek odgaja sina svoga.
6 And you shall keep the commands of the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
I drži zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, hodeći putovima njegovim i bojeći se njega!
7 For the Lord your God will bring you into a good and extensive land, where there are torrents of waters, and fountains of deep places issuing through the plains and through the mountains:
TÓa Jahve, Bog tvoj, vodi te u dobru zemlju: zemlju potoka i vrela, dubinskih voda što izviru u dolinama i bregovima;
8 a land of wheat and barley, [wherein are] vines, figs, pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
zemlju pšenice i ječma, loze, smokava i šipaka, zemlju meda i maslina;
9 a land on which you shall not eat your bread with poverty, and you shall not lack any thing upon it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of its mountains you shall dig brass.
zemlju u kojoj nećeš sirotinjski jesti kruha i gdje ti ništa neće nedostajati; zemlju gdje kamenje ima željeza i gdje ćeš iz njezinih brdina vaditi mjed.
10 And you shall eat and be filled, and shall bless the Lord your God on the good land, which he has given you.
Do sita ćeš jesti i blagoslivljati Jahvu, Boga svoga, zbog dobre zemlje koju ti je dao.
11 Take heed to yourself that you forget not the Lord your God, so as not to keep his commands, and his judgements, and ordinances, which I command you this day:
Čuvaj se da ne zaboraviš Jahvu, Boga svoga, zanemarujući njegove zapovijedi, njegove uredbe i njegove zakone koje ti danas dajem.
12 lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived in them;
I pošto se najedeš do sitosti, posagradiš lijepe kuće i u njima se nastaniš;
13 and your oxen and your sheep are multiplied to you, and your silver and your gold are multiplied to you, and all your possessions are multiplied to you,
kad ti se krupna i sitna stoka namnoži; kad se nakupiš srebra i zlata i kada sve tvoje uznapreduje,
14 you should be exalted in heart, and forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:
nemoj da se uznese srce tvoje i da zaboraviš Jahvu, Boga svoga, koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske, iz kuće ropstva;
15 who brought you through that great and terrible wilderness, where [is] the biting serpent, and scorpion, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you a fountain of water out of the flinty rock:
koji te proveo kroz onu veliku i strašnu pustinju, kroz zemlju plamenih zmija i štipavaca, suhim i bezvodnim krajem; koji ti je izveo vodu iz stijene tvrde kao kremen;
16 who fed you with manna in the wilderness, which you knew not, and your fathers knew not; that he might afflict you, and thoroughly try you, and do you good in your latter days.
koji te u pustinji hranio manom, nepoznatom tvojim ocima, da te ponizi i da te iskuša te da na kraju budeš sretan.
17 Lest you should say in your heart, My strength, and the power of mine hand have wrought for me this great wealth.
Ne reci tada u svome srcu: svojom sam moći i snagom svojih ruku sebi namakao ovo bogatstvo.
18 But you shall remember the Lord your God, that he gives you strength to get wealth; even that he may establish his covenant, which the Lord sware to your fathers, as at this day.
Sjeti se Jahve, Boga svoga! TÓa on ti je dao snagu da stječeš bogatstvo da tako ispuni - kao što je danas - svoj Savez za koji se zakleo tvojim ocima.
19 And it shall come to pass if you do at all forget the Lord your God, and should go after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall surely perish.
Ako li zaboraviš Jahvu, Boga svoga, i pođeš za drugim bogovima te njima budeš iskazivao štovanje, njima se klanjao, kunem vam se danas da ćete zacijelo izginuti;
20 As also the other nations which the Lord God destroys before your face, so shall you perish, because you listened not to the voice of the Lord your God.
poput naroda koje će Jahve pogubiti pred vama, tako će i vas nestati jer niste poslušali glasa Jahve, Boga svoga.
