Deuteronomy 7
1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before thee, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
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 and when the LORD thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shalt smite them; then thou shalt utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them;
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 neither shalt thou make marriages with them: thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
niti z njimi ne boš sklepal porok. Svoje hčere ne boš dal njegovemu sinu niti njegove hčere ne boš vzel k svojemu sinu.
4 For he will turn away thy son from following Me, that they may serve other gods; so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and He will destroy thee quickly.
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 But thus shall ye deal with them: ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and hew down their Asherim, and burn their graven images with fire.
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 thou art a holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be His own treasure, out of all peoples that are upon the face of 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 The LORD did not set His love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people — for ye were the fewest of all peoples —
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 but because the LORD loved you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand 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 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, He is God; the faithful God, who keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations;
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 and repayeth them that hate Him to their face, to destroy them; He will not be slack to him that hateth Him, He will repay him to his face.
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 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command thee this day, to do them.
Torej boš varoval zapovedi, zakone in sodbe, ki sem ti jih ta dan zapovedal, da jih izvršuješ.
12 And it shall come to pass, because ye hearken to these ordinances, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep with thee the covenant and the mercy which He swore unto thy fathers,
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 and He will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee; He will also bless the fruit of thy body and the fruit of thy land, thy corn and thy wine and thine oil, the increase of thy kine and the young of thy flock, in the land which He swore unto thy fathers to give thee.
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 Thou shalt be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
Blagoslovljen boš nad vsemi ljudstvi. Med vami ne bo jalovega moškega ali ženske ali med vašo živino.
15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness; and He will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee, but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
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 And thou shalt consume all the peoples that the LORD thy God shall deliver unto thee; thine eye shall not pity them; neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
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 If thou shalt say in thy heart: 'These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?'
Če boš v svojem srcu rekel: ›Ti narodi so številnejši kakor jaz; kako jih lahko razlastim?‹
18 thou shalt not be afraid of them; thou shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt:
Ne boš se jih bal, temveč se boš dobro spomnil, kaj je Gospod, tvoj Bog, storil faraonu in vsemu Egiptu:
19 the great trials which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out; so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the peoples of whom thou art afraid.
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 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and they that hide themselves, perish from before thee.
Poleg tega bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, mednje poslal sršene, dokler ne bodo tisti, ki so preostali in se skrivajo pred teboj, uničeni.
21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them; for the LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, a God great and awful.
Pred njimi ne boš zgrožen, kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je med vami mogočen in strašen Bog.
22 And the LORD thy God will cast out those nations before thee by little and little; thou mayest not consume them quickly, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
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 thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and shall discomfit them with a great discomfiture, until they be destroyed.
Toda Gospod, tvoj Bog, jih bo izročil tebi in uničeval jih boš z mogočnim uničenjem, dokler ne bodo uničeni.
24 And He shall deliver their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt make their name to perish from under heaven; there shall no man be able to stand against thee, until thou have destroyed 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 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire; thou shalt not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein; for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
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 And thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house, and be accursed like unto it; thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.
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.
