Deuteronomy 31
1 Once Moses had finished giving these instructions to all the Israelites,
Mojsije dođe da upravi ove riječi svemu Izraelu:
2 he told them, I'm now a hundred and twenty years old. I can't get around like I used to, and the Lord has told me, “You are not to cross the 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 your God himself is going to lead you across. He will destroy these nations as you advance, and you will take over their land. Joshua will cross ahead of you, as the Lord said.
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 The Lord will do to them what he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and their land when he destroyed them.
Jahve će postupiti s njima kako je postupio sa Sihonom i Ogom, amorejskim kraljevima, i njihovom zemljom kad ih uništi.
5 The Lord will hand them over to you, and you will deal with them exactly as I've told you.
Pred vas će ih Jahve položiti, a vi ćete s njima postupati prema svim naredbama koje sam vam dao.
6 Be strong! Be brave! Don't be frightened or terrified of them, because the Lord your God will go with you. He won't ever leave you or abandon you.
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 Moses called for Joshua and told him in front of all the Israelites, “Be strong! Be brave! You will accompany this people into the country that the Lord promised to give their forefathers, and you are to allocate it for them to own.
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 The Lord himself goes ahead of you. He will be with you. He won't ever leave you or abandon you. Don't be afraid and don't be discouraged.”
Sam Jahve ide pred tobom; on će s tobom biti; neće te zapustiti niti će te ostaviti. Ne boj se i ne dršći!”
9 Moses wrote this law down and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the Ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the Israelite elders.
Mojsije napisa ovaj Zakon i predade ga svećenicima, sinovima Levijevim, koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina, i svim izraelskim starješinama.
10 Moses gave them these orders, At the end of every seven years, the year when debts are canceled during the Festival of Shelters,
Mojsije im naredi: “Svake sedme godine - godine oprosne - na Blagdan sjenica,
11 and when all the Israelites comes before the Lord your God at the place he will choose, you must read this law in the for everyone to hear.
kad dođe sav Izrael da vidi lice Jahve, Boga tvoga, na mjestu koje on odabere, pročitaj ovaj Zakon u nazočnosti svega Izraela.
12 Have the people gather together—the men, women, children, and the foreigners living with you—so that they can listen and learn to respect the Lord your God and to carefully observe all the instructions 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 Then their children who don't know the law will listen and learn to respect the Lord your God as the whole time you live in the country that you are going to take over after you cross the Jordan.
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 Then the Lord told Moses, “Listen, you are soon going to die. Tell Joshua to meet you, and then both of you are to come and stand before me at the Tent of Meeting, so that I may appoint him as leader.” Moses and Joshua went to stand before the Lord at the Tent of Meeting.
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 The Lord appeared there at the tent in a pillar of cloud. The cloud stood at the entrance to the tent.
U Šatoru pokaže se Jahve u stupu od oblaka. Stup od oblaka stajao je na ulazu u Šator.
16 The Lord told Moses, “You will join your ancestors in death, and these people are going to prostitute themselves by worshiping the foreign gods of the country they are entering. They will abandon me and break the agreement I've 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 Then I will abandon them and turn away from them, so they will be destroyed, and they will experience many disasters and problems. At that time they'll say, ‘We're suffering these disasters because our God has abandoned us!’
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 Then I will definitely ignore them because of all the evil they have done by worshiping other gods.
A ja ću sasvim sakriti svoje lice u taj dan, zbog svega zla što ga budu činili okrećući se drugim bogovima.
19 So write down this song and teach it to the Israelites. Help them learn to sing it, so it will provide evidence for me against them.
Pišite sada sebi ovu pjesmu. Neka je nauče Izraelci! Stavi je u njihova usta da mi ova pjesma bude svjedokom protiv Izraelaca.
20 Once I've led them into the country that I promised to give their forefathers, a land flowing with milk and honey, they will have plenty to eat and will do well. Then they will go and worship other gods, and they will abandon me and break my agreement.
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 Once they've experienced plenty of trouble and suffering, this song will testify against them, because their descendants won't forget the words. I know what they're like, even before I lead them into the country that I promised to give 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 Right then Moses wrote down this song and taught it to the Israelites.
Toga dana napisa Mojsije ovu pjesmu i nauči Izraelce pjesmi.
23 Then the Lord appointed Joshua son of Nun as leader, and told him, “Be strong! Be brave! For you are going to lead the Israelites into the country that I promised to give them, and I will be with you.”
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 After Moses had finished writing down this Law in a book from start to finish,
Kad Mojsije napisa riječi ovoga Zakona u knjigu,
25 he ordered the Levites who carried the Ark of the Lord's Agreement:
tada naredi Levijevcima, koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina:
26 “Place this book of the Law beside the Ark of the Lord your God's Agreement, so that it will be kept there as a evidence against you.
“Uzmite knjigu ovoga Zakona i položite je uz Kovčeg saveza Jahvina. Neka ondje bude svjedokom protiv tebe!
27 I know how stubborn and rebellious you are. If you've already started rebelling against the Lord while I'm still alive, how much worse will you get after I die?
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 Summon all the elders of your tribes and all your officers to gather here before me so that I can tell them this directly and call on heaven and earth as witnesses 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 I know that after my death you will become completely immoral, leaving the path I have ordered you to follow. In the future, evil things will happen to you because of the evil sins you commit in the sight of the Lord, making him angry by what you do.”
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 Then Moses recited all the words of this song as the Israelites listened.
A onda, na uši sve zajednice izraelske, Mojsije izgovori do kraja riječi ove pjesme:
