Deuteronomy 9
1 Listen, people of Israel! Shortly you're going to cross the Jordan to enter and take over the country from nations that are larger and stronger than you, that have large towns with walls that reach up into the sky.
Чуј, Израиљу! Ти данас прелазиш преко Јордана да уђеш и наследиш народе веће и јаче од себе, градове велике и ограђене до неба.
2 The people are strong and tall; they are the descendants of the Anakim. You all know about them and you have heard the saying, “Who could ever defeat the sons of Anak?”
Велик и висок народ, синове Енакове, које знаш и за које си слушао:
3 But you should realize that today the Lord your God is going across ahead of you. He is like a consuming fire; he will destroy them and defeat them ahead of you. You will drive them out and quickly wipe them out, just as the Lord promised you.
Знај дакле данас да је Господ Бог твој, који иде пред тобом, огањ који спаљује; Он ће их истребити и Он ће их оборити пред тобом, и изгнаћеш их и истребити брзо, као што ти је казао Господ.
4 When the Lord your God has driven them out ahead of you, don't think to yourselves, “It's because I'm such a good person that the Lord has brought me here to take over this land.” No, the Lord is driving out these nations ahead of you because of they're so wicked.
Кад их Господ Бог твој отера испред тебе, немој да кажеш у срцу свом: За правду моју уведе ме Господ у ову земљу да је наследим; јер Господ тера оне народе испред тебе за неваљалство њихово!
5 It's not because you're so good or moral that you are going to take over their land. No, it's because of their wickedness that the Lord your God is driving out these nations ahead of you, to keep the promise he made to your fathers—m to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Не идеш за правду своју ни за чистоту срца свог да наследиш ту земљу; него за неваљалство тих народа Господ Бог твој отера их испред тебе, и да одржи реч за коју се заклео оцима твојим, Авраму, Исаку и Јакову.
6 You'd better believe that it's not because you're such good people that the Lord your God is giving you this good land to own, because you are stubborn, hard-hearted people.
Знај, дакле, да ти Господ Бог твој не даје те добре земље за правду твоју да је наследиш, јер си тврдоврат народ.
7 Remember how you provoked the Lord your God in the desert! Don't ever forget it! From the time you left the land of Egypt until you arrived here, you've been constantly rebelling against the Lord.
Памти и не заборави како си гневио Господа Бога свог у пустињи; од оног дана кад изиђосте из земље мисирске па докле дођосте на ово место, непокорни бејасте Господу.
8 At Horeb you provoked the Lord, making him so angry he was about to destroy you.
И код Хорива разгневисте Господа, и од гнева хтеде вас Господ да истреби.
9 This was when I climbed up the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets that recorded agreement the Lord made with you. I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, and I didn't eat or drink anything.
Кад изиђох на гору да примим плоче камене, плоче завета, који с вама учини Господ, тада стајах на гори четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи хлеба не једући ни воде пијући.
10 The Lord gave me the two stone tablets on which he'd written with his finger everything he'd told you when he spoke from the fire on the mountain when we were all assembled there.
И даде ми Господ две плоче камене, исписане прстом Господњим, на којима беху речи све које вам изговори Господ на гори исред огња на дан збора вашег.
11 After forty days and forty nights, the Lord gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the agreement.
После четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи даде ми Господ две плоче камене, плоче заветне.
12 The Lord told me, “Hurry! Go down immediately, because your people that you led out of Egypt, are committing a terrible sin. They have disobeyed what I told them so quickly! They have made themselves an idol using molten metal.”
И рече ми Господ: Устани, сиђи брже одавде; јер се поквари народ твој који си извео из Мисира, сиђоше брзо с пута који им заповедих, и начинише себи ливен лик.
13 The Lord also told me, “I have been watching these people, and they really are a stubborn and hard-hearted.
Још ми рече Господ говорећи: Погледах овај народ, и ето је народ тврдог врата.
14 Leave me, so that I can destroy them and wipe out their name completely. Then I will turn you into a nation even more powerful and more important than them.”
Пусти ме да их истребим и име њихово затрем под небом; а од тебе ћу учинити народ јачи и већи него што је овај.
15 I went back down the mountain while it was still on fire, carrying the two tablets of the agreement.
И ја се вратих и сиђох с горе, а гора огњем гораше, и две плоче заветне беху ми у рукама.
16 Then I saw how much you had sinned against the Lord your God by making for yourselves a molten calf. You had disobeyed what the Lord had told you so quickly.
И погледах, а то згрешисте Господу Богу свом саливши себи теле, и брзо сиђосте с пута који вам беше заповедио Господ.
17 I threw the two tablets down, smashing them to pieces as you watched.
Тада узех оне две плоче и бацих их из руку својих, и разбих их пред вама.
18 Then I lay down on the ground before the Lord for forty days and forty nights, just as I had before. I didn't eat or drink anything because of all the sins you had committed by doing what was evil in the Lord's sight, making him angry.
Потом падох и лежах пред Господом као пре, четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи, хлеба не једући ни воде пијући, ради свих греха ваших, којима се огрешисте учинивши што је зло пред Господом и разгневивши Га.
19 I was terrified at how angry and furious the Lord was with you. He was ready to destroy you. But once again the Lord listened to me.
Јер се бојах гнева и јарости, којом се беше Господ разљутио на вас да вас истреби; и услиши ме Господ и тада.
20 The Lord was so angry with Aaron he was ready to destroy him, but right then I prayed for Aaron too.
Беше се Господ и на Арона разгневио веома да га хтеде убити; али се молих тада и за Арона.
21 I took that abominable thing, the calf you'd made, and burned it. Then I crushed it up and ground it into dust, and I threw it into the stream that descended from the mountain.
И узех грех ваш који учинисте, теле, и сажегох га огњем, и разбих га и сатрх га у прах, и просух прах његов у поток, који тече с оне горе.
22 But you went on provoking the Lord at Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah.
И у Тавери и у Маси и у Киврот-Атави гневисте Господа.
23 When the Lord had you leave Kadesh-barnea, he told you, “Go and take over the country that I've given you.” But you defied the command of the Lord your God. You didn't believe him and you didn't obey him.
И кад вас посла Господ у Кадис-Варнију говорећи: Идите и узмите ту земљу коју сам вам дао, опет се супротисте речи Господа Бога свог, и не веровасте Му и не послушасте глас Његов.
24 You have been rebelling against the Lord from the day I first knew you.
Непокорни бејасте Господу од кад вас познах.
25 So I lay down on the ground before the Lord for forty days and forty nights, because the Lord had threatened to destroy you.
Зато падох и лежах пред Господом четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи, јер беше рекао Господ да ће вас потрти.
26 I prayed to the Lord, saying, “Please Lord, God, don't destroy your people that belong to you, the ones whom you rescued by your great ability and led out of Egypt by your power.
И молих се Господу и рекох: Господе, Господе! Немој потрти народ свој и наследство своје, које си избавио величанством својим, које си извео из Мисира крепком руком.
27 Please remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Please disregard the stubbornness of this people and their wicked sin.
Опомени се слуга својих Аврама, Исака и Јакова, не гледај на тврђу народа овог, на неваљалство његово и на грехе његове;
28 If you don't, those people back in Egypt will say, ‘The Lord brought them out to kill them in the desert because he couldn't take them to the land he'd promised them, and because he hated them.’
Да не кажу који живе у земљи одакле си нас извео: Није их могао Господ увести у земљу коју им обећа, или мрзео је на њих, зато их изведе да их побије у пустињи.
29 But they are your people, Lord! They belong to you! You led them out of Egypt by your amazing power and might!”
Јер су Твој народ и Твоје наследство, које си извео силом својом великом и мишицом својом подигнутом.
