Deuteronomy 9
1 “Listen, O Israel: You shall cross over the Jordan today, in order to possess nations, very great and stronger than yourself, cities vast and walled even to the sky,
Чуј, Израиљу! Ти данас прелазиш преко Јордана да уђеш и наследиш народе веће и јаче од себе, градове велике и ограђене до неба.
2 a people great and lofty, the sons of the Anakim, whom you yourselves have seen and heard, against whom no one is able to stand.
Велик и висок народ, синове Енакове, које знаш и за које си слушао:
3 Therefore, you shall know today that the Lord your God himself will pass over before you, like a devouring and consuming fire, to crush and to wipe away and to utterly ruin them before your face, quickly, just as he has spoken to you.
Знај дакле данас да је Господ Бог твој, који иде пред тобом, огањ који спаљује; Он ће их истребити и Он ће их оборити пред тобом, и изгнаћеш их и истребити брзо, као што ти је казао Господ.
4 You should not say in your heart, when the Lord your God will have destroyed them in your sight: ‘It is because of my justice that the Lord led me in, so that I might possess this land, while these nations have been destroyed because of their impiety.’
Кад их Господ Бог твој отера испред тебе, немој да кажеш у срцу свом: За правду моју уведе ме Господ у ову земљу да је наследим; јер Господ тера оне народе испред тебе за неваљалство њихово!
5 For it is not because of your justices or the uprightness of your heart that you will enter, so that you may possess their lands. Instead, it is because they have acted wickedly that they are destroyed upon your arrival, and so that the Lord may accomplish his word, which he promised under oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Не идеш за правду своју ни за чистоту срца свог да наследиш ту земљу; него за неваљалство тих народа Господ Бог твој отера их испред тебе, и да одржи реч за коју се заклео оцима твојим, Авраму, Исаку и Јакову.
6 Therefore, know that the Lord your God will not give you this excellent land as a possession due to your justices, for you are a very stiff-necked people.
Знај, дакле, да ти Господ Бог твој не даје те добре земље за правду твоју да је наследиш, јер си тврдоврат народ.
7 Remember, and never forget, how you provoked the Lord your God to anger in the wilderness. You have always contended against the Lord, from the day that you went forth from Egypt, even to this place.
Памти и не заборави како си гневио Господа Бога свог у пустињи; од оног дана кад изиђосте из земље мисирске па докле дођосте на ово место, непокорни бејасте Господу.
8 For at Horeb also, you provoked him, and, becoming angry, he was willing to destroy you,
И код Хорива разгневисте Господа, и од гнева хтеде вас Господ да истреби.
9 when I ascended onto the mountain, so that I might receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which the Lord formed with you. And I persevered on the mountain for forty days and nights, neither eating bread, nor drinking water.
Кад изиђох на гору да примим плоче камене, плоче завета, који с вама учини Господ, тада стајах на гори четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи хлеба не једући ни воде пијући.
10 And the Lord gave me two tablets of stone, written with the finger of God and containing all the words that he spoke to you on the mountain from the midst of fire, while the people, being stirred up, were assembled together.
И даде ми Господ две плоче камене, исписане прстом Господњим, на којима беху речи све које вам изговори Господ на гори исред огња на дан збора вашег.
11 And when forty days, and as many nights, had passed, the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.
После четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи даде ми Господ две плоче камене, плоче заветне.
12 And he said to me: ‘Rise up, and descend quickly from here. For your people, whom you led away from Egypt, have quickly abandoned the way that you have shown to them, and they have made a molten idol for themselves.’
И рече ми Господ: Устани, сиђи брже одавде; јер се поквари народ твој који си извео из Мисира, сиђоше брзо с пута који им заповедих, и начинише себи ливен лик.
13 And again, the Lord said to me: ‘I discern that this people is stiff-necked.
Још ми рече Господ говорећи: Погледах овај народ, и ето је народ тврдог врата.
14 Depart from me, so that I may crush them, and abolish their name from under heaven, and appoint you over a nation, which will be greater and stronger than this one.’
Пусти ме да их истребим и име њихово затрем под небом; а од тебе ћу учинити народ јачи и већи него што је овај.
15 And as I was descending from the burning mountain, and I held the two tablets of the covenant with both hands,
И ја се вратих и сиђох с горе, а гора огњем гораше, и две плоче заветне беху ми у рукама.
16 and I had seen that you had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made a molten calf for yourselves, and had quickly abandoned his way, which he had revealed to you,
И погледах, а то згрешисте Господу Богу свом саливши себи теле, и брзо сиђосте с пута који вам беше заповедио Господ.
17 I threw down the tablets from my hands, and I broke them in your sight.
Тада узех оне две плоче и бацих их из руку својих, и разбих их пред вама.
18 And I fell prostrate before the Lord, just as before, for forty days and nights, not eating bread, and not drinking water, because of all your sins, which you had committed against the Lord, and because you provoked him to anger.
Потом падох и лежах пред Господом као пре, четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи, хлеба не једући ни воде пијући, ради свих греха ваших, којима се огрешисте учинивши што је зло пред Господом и разгневивши Га.
19 For I feared his indignation and wrath, which had been stirred up against you, so that he was willing to destroy you. And the Lord heeded me at this time also.
Јер се бојах гнева и јарости, којом се беше Господ разљутио на вас да вас истреби; и услиши ме Господ и тада.
20 Likewise, he became vehemently angry against Aaron, and he was willing to destroy him, and I prayed for him similarly.
Беше се Господ и на Арона разгневио веома да га хтеде убити; али се молих тада и за Арона.
21 But as for your sin which you committed, that is, the calf, taking hold of it, I burned it with fire. And breaking it into pieces, and reducing it entirely to dust, I threw it into the torrent that descends from the mountain.
И узех грех ваш који учинисте, теле, и сажегох га огњем, и разбих га и сатрх га у прах, и просух прах његов у поток, који тече с оне горе.
22 Likewise, at the Burning, and at the Temptation, and at the Graves of Lust, you provoked the Lord.
И у Тавери и у Маси и у Киврот-Атави гневисте Господа.
23 And when he sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, ‘Ascend and possess the land, which I have given to you,’ even so, you spurned the command of the Lord your God, and you did not believe him, nor were you willing to listen to his voice.
И кад вас посла Господ у Кадис-Варнију говорећи: Идите и узмите ту земљу коју сам вам дао, опет се супротисте речи Господа Бога свог, и не веровасте Му и не послушасте глас Његов.
24 Instead, you were ever rebellious, from the day when I first began to know you.
Непокорни бејасте Господу од кад вас познах.
25 And so, I lay prostrate before the Lord for forty days and nights, as I humbly begged him, lest he destroy you, just as he had threatened to do.
Зато падох и лежах пред Господом четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи, јер беше рекао Господ да ће вас потрти.
26 And praying, I said: ‘O Lord God, do not destroy your people and your inheritance, whom you have redeemed in your greatness, whom you have led away from Egypt with a strong hand.
И молих се Господу и рекох: Господе, Господе! Немој потрти народ свој и наследство своје, које си избавио величанством својим, које си извео из Мисира крепком руком.
27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not look upon the stubbornness of this people, nor upon their wickedness and sinfulness.
Опомени се слуга својих Аврама, Исака и Јакова, не гледај на тврђу народа овог, на неваљалство његово и на грехе његове;
28 Otherwise, perhaps the inhabitants of the land, out of which you have led us, may say: “The Lord was not able to lead them into the land, which he promised to them. And he hated them; therefore, he led them out, so that he might put them to death in the wilderness.”
Да не кажу који живе у земљи одакле си нас извео: Није их могао Господ увести у земљу коју им обећа, или мрзео је на њих, зато их изведе да их побије у пустињи.
29 These are your people and your inheritance, whom you have led out by your great strength, and with your outstretched arm.’”
Јер су Твој народ и Твоје наследство, које си извео силом својом великом и мишицом својом подигнутом.
