Deuteronomy 31
1 And Moses went, and spoke all these words to all Israel,
Mojsije dođe da upravi ove riječi svemu Izraelu:
2 And he said to them: I am this day a hundred and twenty years old, I can no longer go out and come in, especially as the Lord also hath said to me: O Thou shalt not pass over this Jordan.
“Meni je danas sto dvadeset godina”, - reče im. “Ne mogu više izlaziti i ulaziti. A Jahve mi je rekao: 'Nećeš prijeći ovog Jordana!'
3 The Lord thy God then will pass over before thee: he will destroy all these nations in thy sight, and thou shalt possess them: and this Josue shall go over before thee, as the Lord hath spoken.
Sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, pred tobom će prijeći; on će pred tobom potući one narode da ih otjerate s posjeda. Jošua će pred tobom ići, kako je Jahve rekao.
4 And the Lord shall do to them as he did to Sehon and Og the kings of the Amorrhites, and to their land, and shall destroy them.
Jahve će postupiti s njima kako je postupio sa Sihonom i Ogom, amorejskim kraljevima, i njihovom zemljom kad ih uništi.
5 Therefore when the Lord shall have delivered these also to you, you shall do in like manner to them as I have commanded you,
Pred vas će ih Jahve položiti, a vi ćete s njima postupati prema svim naredbama koje sam vam dao.
6 Do manfully and be of good heart: fear not, nor be ye dismayed at their sight: for the Lord thy God he himself is thy leader, and will not leave thee nor forsake thee.
Ohrabrite se i budite odlučni! Ne bojte se i nemojte prÓedati pred njima. TÓa sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, ide s tobom; neće te zapustiti niti će te ostaviti.”
7 And Moses called Josue, and said to him before all Israel: Take courage, and be valiant: for thou shalt bring this people into the land which the Lord swore he would give to their fathers, and thou shalt divide it by lot.
Tada Mojsije zovnu Jošuu pa mu reče pred svim Izraelom: “Ohrabri se i budi odlučan! Jer ti ćeš ići s ovim narodom u zemlju za koju se Jahve zakle ocima njihovim da će im je dati; ti ćeš im je predavati u baštinu.
8 And the Lord who is your leader, he himself will be with thee: he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
Sam Jahve ide pred tobom; on će s tobom biti; neće te zapustiti niti će te ostaviti. Ne boj se i ne dršći!”
9 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the ancients of Israel.
Mojsije napisa ovaj Zakon i predade ga svećenicima, sinovima Levijevim, koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina, i svim izraelskim starješinama.
10 And he commanded them, saying: After seven years, in the year of remission, in the feast of tabernacles,
Mojsije im naredi: “Svake sedme godine - godine oprosne - na Blagdan sjenica,
11 When all Israel come together, to appear in the sight of the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose, thou shalt read the words of this law before all Israel, in their hearing,
kad dođe sav Izrael da vidi lice Jahve, Boga tvoga, na mjestu koje on odabere, pročitaj ovaj Zakon u nazočnosti svega Izraela.
12 And the people being all assembled together, both men and women, children and strangers, that are within thy gates: that hearing they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and keep, and fulfill all the words of this law:
Saberi narod - ljude, žene, djecu i došljaka što bude u tvojim gradovima - da čuju i da nauče bojati se Jahve, Boga vašega, pa da drže i vrše sve riječi ovog Zakona.
13 That their children also, who now are ignorant, may hear, and fear the Lord their God, all the days that they lire in the land whither you are going over the Jordan to possess it.
Sinovi njihovi, koji to još ne znaju, čut će i naučit će bojati se Jahve, Boga vašega, sve vrijeme dok budete živjeli na zemlji što ćete je, prešavši Jordan, zaposjesti.”
14 And the Lord said to Moses: Behold the days of thy death are nigh: call Josue, and stand ye in the tabernacle of the testimony, that I may give him a charge. So Moses and Josue went and stood in the tabernacle of the testimony:
Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Evo se bliži vrijeme tvoje smrti. Zovni Jošuu i nađite se u Šatoru sastanka da mu dam zapovijedi.” Mojsije i Jošua dođu u Šator sastanka.
15 And the Lord appeared there in the pillar of a cloud, which stood in the entry of the tabernacle.
U Šatoru pokaže se Jahve u stupu od oblaka. Stup od oblaka stajao je na ulazu u Šator.
16 And the Lord said to Moses: Behold thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, and this people rising up will go a fornicating after strange gods in the land, to which it goeth in to dwell: there will they forsake me, and will make void the covenant, which I have made with them,
Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Evo ćeš naskoro počinuti sa svojim ocima. A narod će se ovaj dići da čini blud idući za tuđim bogovima one zemlje u koju će naskoro ući; mene će napustiti i prekršit će moj Savez što ga s njim sklopih.
17 And my wrath shall be kindled against them in that day: and I will forsake them, and will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured: all evils and afflictions shall find them, so that they shall say in that day: In truth it is because God is not with me, that these evils have found me.
I onda će se izliti moj gnjev na nj. Ostavit ću ih tada i sakriti od njih svoje lice da budu proždirani. Snaći će ih mnoga zla i nevolje i onda će reći: 'Zar me ne snalaze ove nevolje zbog toga što Bog moj nije u mojoj sredini?'
18 But I will hide, and cover my face in that day, for all the evils which they have done, because they have followed strange gods.
A ja ću sasvim sakriti svoje lice u taj dan, zbog svega zla što ga budu činili okrećući se drugim bogovima.
19 Now therefore write you this canticle, and teach the children of Israel: that they may know it by heart, and sing it by mouth, and this song may be unto me for a testimony among the children of Israel.
Pišite sada sebi ovu pjesmu. Neka je nauče Izraelci! Stavi je u njihova usta da mi ova pjesma bude svjedokom protiv Izraelaca.
20 For I will bring them into the land, for which I swore to their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey. And when they have eaten, and are full and fat, they will turn away after strange gods, and will serve them: and will despise me, and make void my covenant.
Kad ih dovedem u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko i za koju se zakleh ocima njihovim i kad se najedu, nasite i ugoje, okrenut će se oni drugim bogovima i njima će iskazivati štovanje; mene će prezreti i prekršiti moj Savez.
21 And after many evils and afflictions shall have come upon them, this canticle shall answer them for a testimony, which no oblivion shall take away out of the mouth of their seed. For I know their thoughts, and what they are about to do this day, before that I bring them into the land which I have promised them.
A kad ih snađu mnoge nesreće i nevolje, ova pjesma, jer je njihovo potomstvo neće nikada zaboraviti, pružit će svjedočanstvo protiv njih. Jer znam ja njihove osnove i što već danas snuju, prije nego sam ih i doveo u zemlju koju im pod zakletvom obećah.”
22 Moses therefore wrote the canticle and taught it to the children of Israel.
Toga dana napisa Mojsije ovu pjesmu i nauči Izraelce pjesmi.
23 And the Lord commanded Josue the son of Nun, and said: Take courage, and be valiant: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I have promised, and I will be with thee.
Nunovu sinu Jošui naloži: “Ohrabri se i budi odlučan! Jer ti ćeš uvesti Izraelce u zemlju za koju sam im se zakleo. I ja ću biti s tobom.”
24 Therefore after Moses had wrote the words of this law in a volume, and finished it:
Kad Mojsije napisa riječi ovoga Zakona u knjigu,
25 He commanded the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord. saying:
tada naredi Levijevcima, koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina:
26 Take this book, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God: that it may be there for a testimony against thee.
“Uzmite knjigu ovoga Zakona i položite je uz Kovčeg saveza Jahvina. Neka ondje bude svjedokom protiv tebe!
27 For I know thy obstinacy, and thy most stiff neck, While I am yet living, and going in with you, you have always been rebellious against the Lord: how much more when I shall be dead?
TÓa znam ja tvoju buntovnost i tvoju tvrdu šiju. Evo i danas, dok još s vama živim, bunite se protiv Jahve. A kako li nećete kad ja umrem!
28 Gather unto me all the ancients of your tribes, and your doctors, and I will speak these words in their hearing, and will call heaven and earth to witness against them.
Saberite k meni sve starješine svojih plemena i svoje nadglednike da na njihove uši kažem ove riječi te da protiv njih uzmem za svjedoke nebo i zemlju.
29 For I know that, after my death, you will do wickedly, and will quickly turn aside from the way that I have commanded you: and evils shall come upon you in the latter times, when you shall do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him by the works of your hands.
Jer znam ja da ćete se nakon moje smrti izopačiti i skrenuti s puta koji sam vam odredio; nesreća će vas snaći u budućim vremenima kad budete činili što je Jahvi nemilo i gnjevili ga djelima ruku svojih.”
30 Moses therefore spoke, in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel, the words of this canticle, and finished it even to the end,
A onda, na uši sve zajednice izraelske, Mojsije izgovori do kraja riječi ove pjesme:
