< Deuteronomy 7 >

1 When Jehovah thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and shall cast out many nations from before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou,
Kad te Gospod Bog tvoj uvede u zemlju u koju ideš da je naslijediš, i otjera ispred tebe narode mnoge, Heteje i Gergeseje i Amoreje i Hananeje i Ferezeje i Jeveje i Jevuseje, sedam naroda veæih i jaèih od tebe,
2 and when Jehovah thy God shall give them up before thee and thou shalt smite them, then shalt thou utterly destroy them: thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them.
I preda ih Gospod Bog tvoj tebi, i ti ih razbiješ, potri ih, ne hvataj s njima vjere, niti se smiluj na njih;
3 And thou shalt make no marriages with them: thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor take his daughter for thy son;
Niti se prijatelji s njima; kæeri svoje ne daji za sina njihova, niti kæeri njihove uzimaj za sina svojega.
4 for he will turn away thy son from following me, and they will serve other gods, and the anger of Jehovah will be kindled against you, and he will destroy thee quickly.
Jer bi otpadila sina tvojega od mene, i služio bi bogovima drugim, te bi se razgnjevio Gospod na vas i potro vas brzo.
5 But thus shall ye deal with them: ye shall break down their altars, and shatter their statues, and hew down their Asherahs, and burn their graven images with fire.
Nego ovo im uèinite: oltare njihove raskopajte, i likove njihove polomite, lugove njihove isijecite, i rezane bogove njihove ognjem spalite.
6 For a holy people art thou unto Jehovah thy God: Jehovah thy God hath chosen thee to be unto him a people for a possession, above all the peoples that are upon the face of the earth.
Jer si ti narod svet Gospodu Bogu svojemu, tebe je izabrao Gospod Bog tvoj da mu budeš narod osobit mimo sve narode na zemlji.
7 Not because ye were more in number than all the peoples, hath Jehovah been attached to you and chosen you, for ye are the fewest of all the peoples;
Ne zato što bi vas bilo više nego drugih naroda prihvati vas Gospod i izabra vas; jer vas bijaše manje nego ikojega drugoga naroda;
8 but because Jehovah loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out with a powerful hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Nego što vas Gospod miluje i što drži zakletvu kojom se zakleo ocima vašim, zato vas je Gospod izveo rukom krjepkom i izbavio vas iz kuæe ropske, iz ruke Faraona cara Misirskoga.
9 And thou shalt know that Jehovah thy God, he is God, the faithful God, who keepeth covenant and mercy to a thousand generations with them that love him and keep his commandments;
I tako znaj da je Gospod Bog tvoj Bog, Bog vjeran, koji drži zavjet svoj i milost svoju do tisuæu koljena onima koji ga ljube i drže zapovijesti njegove,
10 and repayeth them that hate him [each] to his face, to cause them to perish: he delayeth not with him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
I plaæa onima koji mrze na nj, svakome istrebljujuæi ga, i ne odgaða onome koji mrzi na nj, plaæa svakome.
11 And thou shalt keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command thee this day, to do them.
Zato drži zapovjesti i uredbe i zakone, koje ti danas ja zapovijedam, da ih tvoriš.
12 And it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Jehovah thy God will keep with thee the covenant and the mercy which he swore unto thy fathers;
I ako ove zakone uzaslušate i uzdržite i ustvorite, i Gospod æe Bog tvoj držati tebi zavjet i milost, za koju se zakleo ocima tvojim;
13 and he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee, and will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, thy corn and thy new wine, and thine oil, the offspring of thy kine, and the increase of thy sheep, in the land which he swore unto thy fathers to give thee.
I milovaæe te i blagosloviæe te i umnožiæe te; blagosloviæe plod utrobe tvoje i plod zemlje tvoje, žito tvoje i vino tvoje i ulje tvoje, plod goveda tvojih i stada ovaca tvojih u zemlji za koju se zakleo ocima tvojim da æe ti je dati.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all the peoples; there shall not be male or female barren with thee, or with thy cattle;
Biæeš blagosloven mimo sve narode: neæe biti u tebe ni muškoga ni ženskoga neplodna, ni meðu stokom tvojom.
15 and Jehovah will take away from thee all sickness, and none of the evil infirmities of Egypt, which thou knowest, will he put upon thee; but he will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
I ukloniæe od tebe Gospod svaku bolest, i od ljutih zala Misirskih koja znaš neæe nijednoga pustiti na tebe, nego æe ih pustiti na one sve koji mrze na te.
16 And thou shalt consume all the peoples that Jehovah thy God will give up unto thee; thine eye shall not spare them, and thou shalt not serve their gods; for that would be a snare unto thee.
I istrijebi sve narode koje ti Gospod Bog tvoj preda, neka ih ne požali oko tvoje, i nemoj služiti bogovima njihovijem, jer bi ti to bilo zamka.
17 If thou shouldest say in thy heart, These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?
Ako bi rekao u srcu svom: veæi su ovi narodi od mene, kako ih mogu izagnati?
18 fear them not; remember well what Jehovah thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all the Egyptians;
Ne boj ih se; pamti dobro što je uèinio Gospod Bog tvoj s Faraonom i sa svijem Misircima,
19 the great trials which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the powerful hand, and the stretched-out arm, whereby Jehovah thy God brought thee out: so will Jehovah thy God do unto all the peoples whom thou fearest.
Velika kušanja, koja vidješe oèi tvoje, i znake i èudesa i ruku krjepku i mišicu podignutu, kojom te izvede Gospod Bog tvoj; onako æe uèiniti Gospod Bog tvoj sa svijem narodima od kojih bi se uplašio.
20 Moreover, Jehovah thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and they that hide themselves from thee, are destroyed.
I stršljene æe poslati Gospod Bog tvoj na njih dokle ne izginu koji bi ostali i sakrili se od tebe.
21 Thou shalt not be afraid of them; for Jehovah thy God is in thy midst, a God great and terrible.
Ne plaši se od njih, jer je Gospod Bog tvoj usred tebe, Bog veliki i strašni.
22 And Jehovah thy God will cast out those nations from before thee by little and little; thou shalt not be able to make an end of them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
Gospod æe Bog tvoj malo pomalo potrti te narode ispred tebe; neæeš ih moæi odjedanput istrijebiti, da se ne bi umnožilo na tebe zvijerje poljsko.
23 But Jehovah thy God will give them up before thee, and will confound them with great consternation, until they are destroyed.
Ali æe ih predati Gospod Bog tvoj tebi, i zatiraæe ih zatiranjem velikim dokle se ne zatru.
24 And he will give their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt put out their name from under the heavens; no man shall stand before thee, until thou hast destroyed them.
I predaæe careve njihove u tvoje ruke da zatreš ime njihovo pod nebom, neæe se nijedan održati pred tobom, dokle ih ne potreš.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire; thou shalt not covet the silver and gold [that is] on them and take it unto thee, lest thou be ensnared therein; for it is an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
Rezane bogove njihove spali ognjem, nemoj da se polakomiš na srebro ili zlato što je na njima i da ga uzmeš, da ti ne bude zamka, jer je gadno pred Gospodom Bogom tvojim.
26 And thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
I nemoj da uneseš gada u dom svoj, da ne budeš proklet kao i on, nego se gadi na nj i grozi se od njega, jer je prokleto.
