Deuteronomy 8
1 Every commandment which I command thee this day shall ye take heed to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and enter in and possess the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers.
Vse zapovedi, ki sem ti jih ta dan zapovedal, boste obeleževali, da jih izvršujete, da boste lahko živeli, se množili in vstopili in vzeli v last deželo, ki jo je Gospod prisegel vašim očetom.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which Jehovah thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or not.
Spomnil se boš celotne poti, po kateri te je Gospod, tvoj Bog, teh štirideset let vodil po divjini, da te poniža in te preizkusi, da spozna kaj je bilo v tvojem srcu, bodisi se boš držal njegovih zapovedi ali ne.
3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with the manna, which thou hadst not known, and which thy fathers knew not; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread alone, but by everything that goeth out of the mouth of Jehovah doth man live.
Ponižal te je in ti dopustil, da si bil lačen in te hranil z mano, ki je nisi poznal niti je niso poznali tvoji očetje, da bi ti on lahko dal spoznati, da človek ne živi samo od kruha, temveč človek živi od vsake besede, ki izhaja iz Gospodovih ust.
4 Thy clothing grew not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
Teh štirideset let se tvoja obleka na tebi ni postarala niti tvoje stopalo ni oteklo.
5 And know in thy heart that, as a man chasteneth his son, so Jehovah thy God chasteneth thee;
V svojem srcu boš tudi preudaril, da kakor mož kara svojega sina, tako Gospod, tvoj Bog, kara tebe.
6 and thou shalt keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
Zatorej boš varoval zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, da hodiš po njegovih poteh in da se ga bojiš.
7 For Jehovah thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of water-brooks, of springs, and of deep waters, that gush forth in the valleys and hills;
Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, te vodi v dobro deželo, deželo vodnih potokov, studencev in globin, ki privrejo iz dolin in hribov;
8 a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig-trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive-trees and honey;
deželo pšenice, ječmena, trt, figovih dreves in granatnih jabolk; deželo olivnega olja in medu;
9 a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, where thou shalt lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose mountains thou wilt dig copper.
deželo, v kateri boš jedel kruh brez pomanjkanja, v njej ti ne bo primanjkovalo nobene stvari; deželo, katere kamni so železo in iz katerih hribov lahko koplješ bron.
10 And thou shalt eat and be filled, and shalt bless Jehovah thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
Ko se naješ in si sit, potem boš blagoslovil Gospoda, svojega Boga, zaradi dobre dežele, ki ti jo je dal.
11 Beware that thou forget not Jehovah thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day;
Pazi se, da ne pozabiš Gospoda, svojega boga, da se ne bi držal njegovih zapovedi, njegovih sodb in njegovih zakonov, ki sem ti jih zapovedal ta dan,
12 lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built and inhabited fine houses,
da se ne bi, ko se naješ in si sit in si si zgradil ljubke hiše in prebival v njih;
13 and thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied,
in ko se tvoji tropi in tvoje črede pomnožijo in je pomnoženo tvoje srebro in tvoje zlato in je pomnoženo vse, kar imaš;
14 then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget Jehovah thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
tvoje srce ne povzdigne in pozabiš na Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki te je privedel iz egiptovske dežele, iz hiše sužnosti,
15 who led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, [a wilderness of] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there is no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
ki te je vodil skozi to veliko in strašno divjino, v kateri so bile ognjene kače, škorpijoni in suša, kjer ni bilo vode; ki ti je vodo privedel iz kremenčeve skale;
16 who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
ki te je v divjini hranil z mano, ki je tvoji očetje niso poznali, da bi te lahko ponižal in da bi te lahko preizkusil, da ti v tvojem zadnjem koncu stori dobro.
17 — and thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand has procured me this wealth.
In ti bi rekel v svojem srcu: ›Moja moč in mogočnost moje roke mi je pridobila to premoženje.‹
18 But thou shalt remember Jehovah thy God, that it is he who giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Ampak se boš spominjal Gospoda, svojega Boga, kajti on je ta, ki ti daje moč, da pridobiš premoženje, da lahko on vzpostavi svojo zavezo, ki jo je prisegel tvojim očetom, kakor je to ta dan.
19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget Jehovah thy God, and go after other gods, and serve them, and bow down to them, I testify against you this day that ye shall utterly perish.
Zgodilo pa se bo, če pozabite Gospoda, svojega Boga in hodite za drugimi bogovi in jim služite in jih obožujete, ta dan pričujem zoper vas, se boste zagotovo pogubili.
20 As the nations which Jehovah is causing to perish before you, so shall ye perish; because ye would not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah your God.
Kakor narodi, ki jih Gospod uničuje pred vašim obrazom, tako se boste pogubili, ker niste hoteli biti poslušni glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga.
