Deuteronomy 26
1 And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and dost possess it, and dwell therein;
Kad stigneš u zemlju koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje u baštinu, kad je zaposjedneš i u njoj se nastaniš,
2 that thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shalt bring in from thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee; and thou shalt put it in a basket and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to cause His name to dwell there.
uzmi nešto prvina od svakoga ploda što ga budeš dobivao od zemlje koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje: stavi ih u košaru, otiđi u mjesto što ga Jahve, Bog tvoj, odabere da u njemu nastani svoje ime.
3 And thou shalt come unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him: 'I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the land which the LORD swore unto our fathers to give us.'
Stupi k svećeniku koji bude tada vršio službu i reci: 'Priznajem danas pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, da sam stigao u zemlju za koju se Jahve zakleo našim ocima da će je nama dati.'
4 And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.
Zatim će svećenik uzeti iz tvoje ruke košaru i položiti je pred žrtvenik Jahve, Boga tvoga.
5 And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God: 'A wandering Aramean was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.
Ti onda nastavi i reci pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim: 'Moj je otac bio aramejski lutalac koji je sa malo čeljadi sišao u Egipat da se skloni. Ali je ondje postao velikim, brojnim i moćnim narodom.
6 And the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage.
Egipćani su s nama postupali loše; tlačili su nas i nametnuli nam teško ropstvo.
7 And we cried unto the LORD, the God of our fathers, and the LORD heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression.
Vapili smo Jahvi, Bogu otaca svojih. Jahve je čuo vapaj naš; vidje naš jad, našu nevolju i našu muku.
8 And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders.
Iz Egipta nas izvede Jahve moćnom rukom i ispruženom mišicom, velikom strahotom, znakovima i čudesima.
9 And He hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
I dovede nas na ovo mjesto i dade nam ovu zemlju, zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko.
10 And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the land, which Thou, O LORD, hast given me.' And thou shalt set it down before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God.
I sad, evo, donosim prvine plodova sa tla što si mi ga, Jahve, dao.' Stavi ih pred Jahvu, Boga svoga, i pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, duboko se nakloni.
11 And thou shalt rejoice in all the good which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is in the midst of thee.
A onda zajedno s levitom i došljakom koji bude kod tebe uživaj sva dobra kojima je Jahve, Bog tvoj, obasuo tebe i dom tvoj.
12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithe of thine increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be satisfied,
A kad treće godine - godine desetine - završiš odjeljivanje sve desetine od svoga prihoda i dadeš levitu, došljaku, siroti i udovici po tvojim gradovima da jedu do sitosti,
13 then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God: 'I have put away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all Thy commandment which Thou hast commanded me; I have not transgressed any of Thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
tada pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, izjavi: 'Iz kuće sam uklonio ono što je bilo posvećeno. Dao sam još i levitu, došljaku, siroti i udovici, prema svim tvojim zapovijedima koje si mi izdao. Ni jedne tvoje zapovijedi nisam prekršio ni zaboravio.
14 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I put away thereof, being unclean, nor given thereof for the dead; I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, I have done according to all that Thou hast commanded me.
Od toga nisam ništa jeo u žalosti; od toga nisam ništa žrtvovao u nečistoći, niti sam od toga što dao mrtvacu; slušao sam glas Jahve, Boga svoga; u svemu sam učinio kako si mi naredio.
15 Look forth from Thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless Thy people Israel, and the land which Thou hast given us, as Thou didst swear unto our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.'
Pogledaj s nebesa, iz svoga svetog prebivališta, i blagoslovi narod svoj izraelski i zemlju koju si nam dao, zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko - kako si se zakleo ocima našim.'
16 This day the LORD thy God commandeth thee to do these statutes and ordinances; thou shalt therefore observe and do them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
Jahve, Bog tvoj, naređuje ti danas da vršiš ove zakone i uredbe. Drži ih, dakle, i vrši svim srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom.
17 Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and that thou wouldest walk in His ways, and keep His statutes, and His commandments, and His ordinances, and hearken unto His voice.
Danas si ugovorio s Jahvom da će ti on biti Bog, a ti da ćeš ići njegovim putovima, držati njegove zakone, njegove zapovijedi i njegove uredbe i slušati njegov glas.
18 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be His own treasure, as He hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all His commandments;
Danas je Jahve ugovorio s tobom da ćeš ti biti njegov narod, njegova predraga svojina, kako ti je obećao, i da ćeš držati sve njegove zapovijedi.
19 and to make thee high above all nations that He hath made, in praise, and in name, and in glory; and that thou mayest be a holy people unto the LORD thy God, as He hath spoken.
On će te uzvisiti čašću, imenom i slavom nad sve narode koje je stvorio; i ti ćeš biti narod posvećen Jahvi, Bogu svome, kako ti je rekao.”
