Deuteronomy 4
1 Now therefore listen, O Israel, to the statutes and to the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers gives you.
Zdaj torej prisluhni, oh Izrael, zakonom in sodbam, ki vas jih učim, da jih izpolnjujete, da boste lahko živeli, vstopili in vzeli v last deželo, ki vam jo daje Gospod, Bog vaših očetov.
2 You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish anything from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Ne boste dodajali besedi, ki sem vam jo zapovedal niti ne boste zmanjševali česa od nje, da bi lahko ohranjali zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki sem vam jih zapovedal.
3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD your God has destroyed them from among you.
Vaše oči so videle kaj je Gospod storil zaradi Báal Peórja. Zaradi vseh mož, ki so sledili Báal Peórju, jih je Gospod, tvoj Bog, uničil izmed vas.
4 But you that did join to the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.
Toda vi, ki ste se trdno držali Gospoda, svojega Boga, ste danes živi, vsakdo izmed vas.
5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do so in the land where you go to possess it.
Glejte, učil sem vas zakonov in sodb, celo kakor mi je Gospod, moj Bog, zapovedal, da naj bi storili v deželi, kamor greste, da jo vzamete v last.
6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
Torej jih ohranjajte in izpolnjujte, kajti to je vaša modrost in vaše razumevanje v očeh narodov, ki bodo slišali vse te zakone in rekli: ›Zagotovo je ta véliki narod modro in razumevajoče ljudstvo.‹
7 For what nation is there so great, who has God so near to them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call on him for?
Kajti kateri narod je tam tako velik, ki ima Boga tako blizu, kakor je Gospod, naš Bog, v vseh stvareh, za katere kličemo k njemu?
8 And what nation is there so great, that has statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
In kateri narod je tam tako velik, ki ima zakone in sodbe tako pravične, kot je vsa ta postava, ki jo danes postavljam pred vas?
9 Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life: but teach them your sons, and your sons’ sons;
Samo pazi nase in marljivo varuj svojo dušo, da ne pozabiš stvari, ki so jih videle tvoje oči in da vse dni tvojega življenja ne odidejo od tvojega srca, temveč poučuj svoje sinove in svojih sinov sinove,
10 Specially the day that you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.
posebej [o] dnevu, ko si stal pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, na Horebu, ko mi je Gospod rekel: ›Zberi mi skupaj ljudstvo in pripravil jih bom slišati moje besede, da se me bodo lahko naučili bati vse dni, ki jih bodo živeli na zemlji in da bodo lahko učili svoje otroke.‹
11 And you came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the middle of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
In približali ste se ter stali pod goro in gora je gorela z ognjem do srede neba, s temo, oblaki in gosto temo.
12 And the LORD spoke to you out of the middle of the fire: you heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only you heard a voice.
Gospod vam je spregovoril iz srede ognja. Slišali ste glas besed, toda nobene podobnosti niste videli, samo glas ste slišali.
13 And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them on two tables of stone.
Naznanil vam je svojo zavezo, ki vam jo je zapovedal, da jo opravljate, torej deset zapovedi, in napisal jih je na dve kamniti plošči.
14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it.
Gospod mi je ob tistem času zapovedal, da vas učim zakone in sodbe, da jih boste lahko izpolnjevali v deželi, kamor greste, da jo vzamete v last.
15 Take you therefore good heed to yourselves; for you saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spoke to you in Horeb out of the middle of the fire:
Zato torej dobro pazite nase, kajti nobene vrste podobnosti niste videli na dan, ko vam je Gospod govoril na Horebu iz srede ognja,
16 Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
da se ne bi izpridili in si naredili rezane podobe, podobnost kakršnekoli postave, podobnost moškega ali ženske,
17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flies in the air,
podobnost katerekoli živali, ki je na zemlji, podobnost katerekoli krilate perjadi, ki leti po zraku,
18 The likeness of any thing that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
podobnost katerekoli stvari, ki se plazi po tleh, podobnost katerekoli ribe, ki je v vodah pod zemljo,
19 And lest you lift up your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, should be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD your God has divided to all nations under the whole heaven.
in da ne bi povzdignil svojih oči k nebu in ko zagledaš sonce, luno in zvezde, celó vso vojsko neba, da ne bi bil zapeljan, da jih obožuješ in jim služiš, ki jih je Gospod, tvoj Bog, razdelil vsem narodom pod celotnim nebom.
20 But the LORD has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as you are this day.
Toda Gospod vas je vzel in vas privedel naprej iz železne talilne peči, torej iz Egipta, da mu boste ljudstvo dediščine, kakor ste ta dan.
21 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance:
Nadalje je bil zaradi vas Gospod jezen nad menoj in prisegel, da naj ne bi šel preko Jordana in da naj ne bi vstopil v to dobro deželo, ki ti jo Gospod, tvoj Bog, daje v dediščino,
22 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but you shall go over, and possess that good land.
temveč moram umreti v tej deželi, ne smem iti čez Jordan. Toda vi boste šli čez in tisto dobro deželo vzeli v last.
23 Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD your God has forbidden you.
Pazite nase, da ne bi pozabili zaveze Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki jo je sklenil z vami in si naredili rezane podobe ali podobnost katerekoli stvari, ki ti jo je Gospod, tvoj Bog, prepovedal.
24 For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je požirajoč ogenj, celó ljubosumen Bog.
25 When you shall beget children, and children’s children, and you shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD your God, to provoke him to anger:
Ko boš zaplodil otroke in otrok otroke in boste dolgo ostali v deželi in se boste izpridili in naredili rezano podobo ali podobnost katerikoli stvari in boste počeli zlo v očeh Gospoda, svojega Boga, da ga dražite k jezi,
26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land where you go over Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
pokličem nebo in zemljo, da ta dan pričujeta zoper vas, da boste kmalu popolnoma izginili iz dežele, v katero ste šli prek Jordana, da jo vzamete v last. Ne boste podaljšali svojih dni na njej, temveč boste popolnoma uničeni.
27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and you shall be left few in number among the heathen, where the LORD shall lead you.
Gospod vas bo razkropil med narode in malo vas bo ostalo po številu med pogani, kamor vas bo vodil Gospod.
28 And there you shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
Tam boste služili bogovom, delu človeških rok, lesu in kamnu, ki niti ne vidita niti ne slišita, ne jesta niti ne vonjata.
29 But if from there you shall seek the LORD your God, you shall find him, if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Toda če boš od tam iskal Gospoda, svojega Boga, ga boš našel, če ga iščeš z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo.
30 When you are in tribulation, and all these things are come on you, even in the latter days, if you turn to the LORD your God, and shall be obedient to his voice;
Ko si v stiski in vse te stvari pridejo nadte, torej v zadnjih dneh, če se obrneš h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu in boš poslušen njegovemu glasu
31 (For the LORD your God is a merciful God; ) he will not forsake you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them.
(kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je usmiljen Bog) te ne bo zapustil niti uničil niti pozabil zaveze tvojih očetov, ki jim jo je prisegel.
32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven to the other, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?
Kajti vprašaj sedaj o dneh, ki so minili, ki so bili pred teboj, od dneva, ko je Bog na zemlji ustvaril moža in vprašaj od ene strani neba do druge, ali je bila tam kakršna koli takšna stvar, kot je ta velika stvar, ali je bila slišati podobno?
33 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
Mar je kdajkoli ljudstvo slišalo glas Boga govoriti iz srede ognja, kakor si slišal ti, in je živelo?
34 Or has God assayed to go and take him a nation from the middle of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
Mar je Bog poskušal iti in si vzeti narod iz srede drugega naroda, s preizkušnjami, znamenji, čudeži, vojno, mogočno roko, z iztegnjenim laktom in z velikimi strahotami, glede na vse, kar je Gospod, vaš Bog, storil za vas v Egiptu, pred vašimi očmi?
35 To you it was showed, that you might know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.
Tebi je bilo pokazano, da bi lahko vedel, da Gospod, on je Bog. Tam ni nobenega drugega poleg njega.
36 Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you: and on earth he showed you his great fire; and you heard his words out of the middle of the fire.
Iz nebes ti je dal, da slišiš njegov glas, da bi te lahko poučil, in na zemlji ti je pokazal svoj velik ogenj in ti slišiš njegove besede iz srede ognja.
37 And because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought you out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;
Ker je vzljubil tvoje očete, zato je izbral tvoje seme za njimi in te privedel ven v njegovem pogledu, s svojo mogočno močjo iz Egipta,
38 To drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you are, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
da izpred tebe napodi narode, večje in mogočnejše kakor si ti, da te privede noter, da ti da njihovo deželo v dediščino, kakor je to ta dan.
39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in your heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath: there is none else.
Vedi torej danes in preudari to v svojem srcu, da Gospod, on je Bog, v nebesih zgoraj in na zemlji spodaj. Tam ni nobenega drugega.
40 You shall keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command you this day, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days on the earth, which the LORD your God gives you, for ever.
Ohranjal boš torej njegove zakone in njegove zapovedi, ki ti jih danes zapovedujem, da bo lahko šlo dobro s teboj in s tvojimi otroki za teboj in da lahko podaljšaš svoje dneve na zemlji, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, na veke.«
41 Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sun rise;
Potem je Mojzes oddvojil tri mesta na tej strani Jordana proti sončnemu vzhodu,
42 That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbor unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:
da bi ubijalec, ki bi nenamerno ubil svojega bližnjega in ga v preteklih časih ni sovražil, lahko pobegnil tja in da bežeč v eno izmed teh mest lahko ostane živ.
43 Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.
Namreč Becer v divjini, na ravnini dežele Rubenovcev in Ramót v Gileádu od Gádovcev in Golán v Bašánu od Manásejcev.
44 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
To je postava, ki jo je Mojzes postavil pred Izraelove otroke.
45 These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt.
To so pričevanja, zakoni in sodbe, ki jih je Mojzes govoril Izraelovim otrokom, po tem, ko so izšli iz Egipta,
46 On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelled at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:
na tej strani Jordana, v dolini nasproti Bet Peórja, v deželi amoréjskega kralja Sihóna, ki je prebival v Hešbónu, ki so ga Mojzes in Izraelovi otroci udarili, potem ko so izšli iz Egipta.
47 And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sun rise;
Vzeli so v last njegovo deželo in deželo bašánskega kralja Oga, dveh kraljev Amoréjcev, ki sta bila na tej strani Jordana, proti sončnemu vzhodu;
48 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even to mount Sion, which is Hermon,
od Aroêrja, ki je ob bregu reke Arnón, celo do gore Sion, ki je Hermon
49 And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
in vso ravnino na tej strani Jordana proti vzhodu, celo do morja ravnine, pod izviri Pisge.
