Deuteronomy 7
1 The Lord your God is going to lead you into the land that you are taking over in order to own it, and will drive out ahead of you many other nations: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations that are larger and stronger than you.
Ko te bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, privedel v deželo, kamor greš, da jo vzameš v last in je pred teboj pregnal mnoge narode: Hetejce, Girgašéjce, Amoréjce, Kánaance, Perizéjce, Hivéjce in Jebusejce, sedem narodov, večje in mogočnejše kakor ti,
2 When the Lord your God has handed them over to you to defeat them, then you must set them apart for destruction. Don't make any peace treaty with them and don't show them any mercy.
in ko jih bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, izročil pred teboj, jih boš udaril in popolnoma uničil. Nobene zaveze ne boš sklenil z njimi niti jim ne izkaži usmiljenja,
3 Don't intermarry with them. Don't let your daughters marry their sons or have their daughters marry your sons,
niti z njimi ne boš sklepal porok. Svoje hčere ne boš dal njegovemu sinu niti njegove hčere ne boš vzel k svojemu sinu.
4 because they will lead your children away from following me to worship other gods. Then the Lord will be angry with you, and he will quickly come and kill you.
Kajti tvojega sina bodo odvrnile od sledenja meni, da bi lahko služile drugim bogovom. Tako bo zoper tebe vžgana Gospodova jeza in te nenadoma uniči.
5 On the contrary, this is what you are to do to them: tear down their altars, knock down their idolatrous pillars, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn down their idols.
Temveč boste tako postopali z njimi: uničili boste njihove oltarje in razbili njihove podobe in posekali njihove ašere in njihove rezane podobe sežgali z ognjem.
6 For you are the Lord your God's holy people. The Lord your God has chosen you to be his own special people, valued above all other peoples on the earth.
Kajti ti si sveto ljudstvo Gospodu, svojemu Bogu. Gospod, tvoj Bog, te je izbral, da mu boš posebno ljudstvo, nad vsemi ljudstvi, ki so na obličju zemlje.
7 It wasn't because there were so many of you that the Lord loved you more than any other nation, in fact he chose you though there were so few of you.
Gospod svoje ljubezni ni naravnal na vas niti vas ni izbral, ker ste bili številnejši kot katerokoli ljudstvo, kajti bilo vas je najmanj izmed vseh ljudstev,
8 However, because the Lord loved you and kept the promise he gave to your forefathers, He led you out by his power and rescued you from the prison-house of slavery, from the rule of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.
temveč, ker vas je Gospod ljubil in ker je želel držati prisego, ki jo je prisegel vašim očetom, vas je Gospod izpeljal z mogočno roko in vas odkupil iz hiše sužnosti, iz roke faraona, egiptovskega kralja.
9 That's why you can be sure that the Lord your God is the true God, the faithful God who keeps his agreement based on trustworthy love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
Vedi torej, da Gospod, tvoj Bog, on je Bog, zvesti Bog, ki ohranja zavezo in usmiljenje s tistimi, ki ga ljubijo in ohranjajo njegove zapovedi tisočim rodovom.
10 But he doesn't hesitate to pay back those who hate him by destroying them.
Tistim pa, ki ga sovražijo, poplača k njihovemu obrazu, da jih uniči. Ne bo počasen do tistega, ki ga sovraži; poplačal mu bo v obraz.
11 So keep the commandments and rules and regulations that I'm giving you to follow today.
Torej boš varoval zapovedi, zakone in sodbe, ki sem ti jih ta dan zapovedal, da jih izvršuješ.
12 If you listen to these regulations and are careful to observe them, then the Lord your God will keep his agreement and the trustworthy love that he promised to your forefathers.
Kjerkoli se bo to pripetilo, če prisluhnete tem sodbam in jih varujete in jih izpolnjujete, da ti bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, varoval zavezo in usmiljenje, ki ga je prisegel tvojim očetom.
13 He will love you and bless you and give you many descendants. He will bless your children and the crops your land produces—your grain, new wine, and olive oil, the calves of your cattle herds and the lambs of your flocks—in the land that he promised your forefathers to give you.
Ljubil te bo, te blagoslavljal in te namnožil. Blagoslavljal bo tudi sad tvoje maternice in sad tvoje dežele, tvoje žito, tvoje vino in tvoje olje, narast tvojega goveda in trope tvojih ovc, v deželi, ki jo je prisegel tvojim očetom, da ti jo da.
14 You will be blessed more than any other nation; none of you will be childless, and none of your livestock will fail to have young.
Blagoslovljen boš nad vsemi ljudstvi. Med vami ne bo jalovega moškega ali ženske ali med vašo živino.
15 The Lord will keep you from having any kind of sickness. He will not let you have any of the terrible diseases you saw in Egypt, but he will let all who hate you suffer from them.
Gospod bo od tebe odvrnil vso bolezen in nobene izmed teh zlih egiptovskih bolezni, ki jih poznaš, ne bo položil nadte, temveč jih bo položil na vse tiste, ki te sovražijo.
16 You are to destroy all the nations the Lord your God hands over to you. Don't look on them with sympathy. Don't worship their gods, for that will end up being a trap to you.
Použil boš vsa ljudstva, ki ti jih bo izročil Gospod, tvoj Bog. Tvoje oko nad njimi ne bo imelo nobenega usmiljenja. Niti ne boš služil njihovim bogovom, kajti to ti bo zanka.
17 You may say to yourselves, “These nations are stronger than us. How on earth can we drive them out?”
Če boš v svojem srcu rekel: ›Ti narodi so številnejši kakor jaz; kako jih lahko razlastim?‹
18 But don't be afraid of them. Make sure you remember what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and the whole of Egypt:
Ne boš se jih bal, temveč se boš dobro spomnil, kaj je Gospod, tvoj Bog, storil faraonu in vsemu Egiptu:
19 the amazing tests you witnessed, the signs and miracles, the great power and incredible strength the Lord your God used to lead you out. The Lord your God is going to deal with all the nations you're currently afraid of in the same way.
velike preizkušnje, ki so jih videle tvoje oči, znamenja, čudeže, mogočno roko in iztegnjen laket, s čimer te je izpeljal Gospod, tvoj Bog. Tako bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, storil vsem ljudstvom, ki se jih bojiš.
20 On top of this, the Lord your God will send the hornet against them until anyone who has survived and anyone hiding from you have been killed.
Poleg tega bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, mednje poslal sršene, dokler ne bodo tisti, ki so preostali in se skrivajo pred teboj, uničeni.
21 Don't be frightened of these nations, for the Lord your God, who is with you, is a powerful and awesome God.
Pred njimi ne boš zgrožen, kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je med vami mogočen in strašen Bog.
22 The Lord your God will drive out these nations ahead of you in stages. You won't be able to get rid of them all at the same time, or you'd be overwhelmed by wild animals.
In Gospod, tvoj Bog, bo te narode po malo in malo odstranil pred teboj. Ne boš jih mogel naenkrat použiti, da ne bi poljske zveri narasle nad teboj.
23 But the Lord your God will hand them over to you and throw them into a terrible panic, until they are wiped out.
Toda Gospod, tvoj Bog, jih bo izročil tebi in uničeval jih boš z mogočnim uničenjem, dokler ne bodo uničeni.
24 He will give their defeated kings to you to be killed, and even their names will be forgotten. No one will be able to withstand you; you will completely destroy them.
Njihove kralje bo izročil v tvojo roko in njihovo ime boš uničil izpod neba. Noben človek ne bo zmožen obstati pred teboj, dokler jih ne uničiš.
25 You must burn the idols of their god. Don't desire the silver and gold that covers them. Don't take it or otherwise it will be a trap for you because the Lord your God detests anything to do with idols.
Rezane podobe njihovih bogov boste sežgali z ognjem. Ne boš hlepel po srebru ali zlatu, ki je na njih niti si ga ne vzemi k sebi, da ne bi bil v tem ujet, kajti to je ogabnost Gospodu, tvojemu Bogu.
26 Don't bring any detestable idol into your house, otherwise you will treated just like it—by being set apart for destruction. You are to treat idols as totally despicable, and stay far away from them, because they are set apart for destruction.
Niti v svojo hišo ne prinašaj gnusobe, da ne bi bil preklet, kakor je ona, temveč naj se ti skrajno gnusi in skrajno jo zaničuj, kajti to je prekleta stvar.
