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 possessest it, and dwellest 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 earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name 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 go 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 country which the Lord sware unto our fathers for 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 thine 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 Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and 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 evil entreated 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 when we cried unto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, 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, even a land that floweth 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 firstfruits of the land, which thou, O Lord, hast given me. And thou shalt set it 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 every good thing which the Lord thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you.
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 tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;
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 brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed 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 taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord my God, and 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 down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth 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 hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine 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 to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to 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 peculiar people, 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 which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an 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.”
