< Deuteronomy 7 >

1 When the LORD your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, and has cast out many nations before you, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than you;
Kad te Gospod Bog tvoj uvede u zemlju u koju ideš da je naslijediš, i otjera ispred tebe narode mnoge, Heteje i Gergeseje i Amoreje i Hananeje i Ferezeje i Jeveje i Jevuseje, sedam naroda veæih i jaèih od tebe,
2 And when the LORD your God shall deliver them before you; you shall smite them, and utterly destroy them; you shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them:
I preda ih Gospod Bog tvoj tebi, i ti ih razbiješ, potri ih, ne hvataj s njima vjere, niti se smiluj na njih;
3 Neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give to his son, nor his daughter shall you take to your son.
Niti se prijatelji s njima; kæeri svoje ne daji za sina njihova, niti kæeri njihove uzimaj za sina svojega.
4 For they will turn away your son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy you suddenly.
Jer bi otpadila sina tvojega od mene, i služio bi bogovima drugim, te bi se razgnjevio Gospod na vas i potro vas brzo.
5 But thus shall you deal with them; you shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
Nego ovo im uèinite: oltare njihove raskopajte, i likove njihove polomite, lugove njihove isijecite, i rezane bogove njihove ognjem spalite.
6 For you are an holy people to the LORD your God: the LORD your God has chosen you to be a special people to himself, above all people that are on the face of the earth.
Jer si ti narod svet Gospodu Bogu svojemu, tebe je izabrao Gospod Bog tvoj da mu budeš narod osobit mimo sve narode na zemlji.
7 The LORD did not set his love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all people:
Ne zato što bi vas bilo više nego drugih naroda prihvati vas Gospod i izabra vas; jer vas bijaše manje nego ikojega drugoga naroda;
8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn to your fathers, has the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of slaves, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Nego što vas Gospod miluje i što drži zakletvu kojom se zakleo ocima vašim, zato vas je Gospod izveo rukom krjepkom i izbavio vas iz kuæe ropske, iz ruke Faraona cara Misirskoga.
9 Know therefore that the LORD your God, he is God, the faithful God, which keeps covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
I tako znaj da je Gospod Bog tvoj Bog, Bog vjeran, koji drži zavjet svoj i milost svoju do tisuæu koljena onima koji ga ljube i drže zapovijesti njegove,
10 And repays them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hates him, he will repay him to his face.
I plaæa onima koji mrze na nj, svakome istrebljujuæi ga, i ne odgaða onome koji mrzi na nj, plaæa svakome.
11 You shall therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command you this day, to do them.
Zato drži zapovjesti i uredbe i zakone, koje ti danas ja zapovijedam, da ih tvoriš.
12 Why it shall come to pass, if you listen to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD your God shall keep to you the covenant and the mercy which he swore to your fathers:
I ako ove zakone uzaslušate i uzdržite i ustvorite, i Gospod æe Bog tvoj držati tebi zavjet i milost, za koju se zakleo ocima tvojim;
13 And he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you: he will also bless the fruit of your womb, and the fruit of your land, your corn, and your wine, and your oil, the increase of your cows, and the flocks of your sheep, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.
I milovaæe te i blagosloviæe te i umnožiæe te; blagosloviæe plod utrobe tvoje i plod zemlje tvoje, žito tvoje i vino tvoje i ulje tvoje, plod goveda tvojih i stada ovaca tvojih u zemlji za koju se zakleo ocima tvojim da æe ti je dati.
14 You shall be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
Biæeš blagosloven mimo sve narode: neæe biti u tebe ni muškoga ni ženskoga neplodna, ni meðu stokom tvojom.
15 And the LORD will take away from you all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, on you; but will lay them on all them that hate you.
I ukloniæe od tebe Gospod svaku bolest, i od ljutih zala Misirskih koja znaš neæe nijednoga pustiti na tebe, nego æe ih pustiti na one sve koji mrze na te.
16 And you shall consume all the people which the LORD your God shall deliver you; your eye shall have no pity on them: neither shall you serve their gods; for that will be a snare to you.
I istrijebi sve narode koje ti Gospod Bog tvoj preda, neka ih ne požali oko tvoje, i nemoj služiti bogovima njihovijem, jer bi ti to bilo zamka.
17 If you shall say in your heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
Ako bi rekao u srcu svom: veæi su ovi narodi od mene, kako ih mogu izagnati?
18 You shall not be afraid of them: but shall well remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt;
Ne boj ih se; pamti dobro što je uèinio Gospod Bog tvoj s Faraonom i sa svijem Misircima,
19 The great temptations which your eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD your God brought you out: so shall the LORD your God do to all the people of whom you are afraid.
Velika kušanja, koja vidješe oèi tvoje, i znake i èudesa i ruku krjepku i mišicu podignutu, kojom te izvede Gospod Bog tvoj; onako æe uèiniti Gospod Bog tvoj sa svijem narodima od kojih bi se uplašio.
20 Moreover the LORD your God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from you, be destroyed.
I stršljene æe poslati Gospod Bog tvoj na njih dokle ne izginu koji bi ostali i sakrili se od tebe.
21 You shall not be affrighted at them: for the LORD your God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.
Ne plaši se od njih, jer je Gospod Bog tvoj usred tebe, Bog veliki i strašni.
22 And the LORD your God will put out those nations before you by little and little: you may not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase on you.
Gospod æe Bog tvoj malo pomalo potrti te narode ispred tebe; neæeš ih moæi odjedanput istrijebiti, da se ne bi umnožilo na tebe zvijerje poljsko.
23 But the LORD your God shall deliver them to you, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
Ali æe ih predati Gospod Bog tvoj tebi, i zatiraæe ih zatiranjem velikim dokle se ne zatru.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them.
I predaæe careve njihove u tvoje ruke da zatreš ime njihovo pod nebom, neæe se nijedan održati pred tobom, dokle ih ne potreš.
25 The graven images of their gods shall you burn with fire: you shall not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it to you, lest you be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD your God.
Rezane bogove njihove spali ognjem, nemoj da se polakomiš na srebro ili zlato što je na njima i da ga uzmeš, da ti ne bude zamka, jer je gadno pred Gospodom Bogom tvojim.
26 Neither shall you bring an abomination into your house, lest you be a cursed thing like it: but you shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
I nemoj da uneseš gada u dom svoj, da ne budeš proklet kao i on, nego se gadi na nj i grozi se od njega, jer je prokleto.
