Deuteronomy 31

1 And Moses went and spoke these words unto all Israel.

Mojzes je odšel in te besede spregovoril vsemu Izraelu.

2 And he said unto them, I am a hundred and twenty years old this day; I am not able any more to go out and come in; for the Lord hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

Rekel jim je: »Jaz sem ta dan star sto dvajset let. Ne morem več hoditi ven in vstopati noter. Tudi Gospod mi je rekel: ›Ti ne boš šel preko tega Jordana.‹

3 The Lord thy God it is who goeth over before thee; he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt dispossess them: Joshua it is who goeth over before thee, as the Lord hath spoken.

Gospod, tvoj Bog, bo šel preko pred teboj in on bo izpred tebe uničil te narode in ti jih boš vzel v last in Józue, on bo šel preko pred teboj, kakor je rekel Gospod.

4 And the Lord will do unto them as he hath done to Sichon and to 'Og, the kings of the Emorites, and unto their land, whom he hath destroyed.

Gospod jim bo storil kakor je storil Sihónu in Ogu, kraljema Amoréjcev in njuni deželi, ki ju je uničil.

5 And the Lord will give them up before you; and ye shall do unto them according unto the whole of the commandment which I have commanded you.

Gospod ju bo izročil pred tvoj obraz, da jima boš lahko storil glede na vse zapovedi, ki sem ti jih zapovedal.

6 Be strong and of a good courage, be not afraid and be not dismayed on account of them; for the Lord thy God it is that goeth with thee; he will not let thee fail, nor forsake thee.

Bodi močan in odločnega poguma, ne boj se niti se jih ne plaši, kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, on je ta, ki gre s teboj; ne bo te razočaral niti te ne bo zapustil.«

7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him before the eyes of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage; for thou must go with this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to give unto them; and thou shalt divide it for them as a possession.

Mojzes je zaklical k Józuetu in mu pred očmi vsega Izraela rekel: »Bodi močan in odločnega poguma, kajti s tem ljudstvom moraš iti v deželo, ki jo je Gospod prisegel njihovim očetom, da jim jo da; in ti jim boš povzročil, da jo podedujejo.

8 And the Lord it is that goeth before thee; he will be with thee, he will not let thee fail, nor will he forsake thee: fear not, nor be thou discouraged.

Gospod, on je ta, ki gre pred teboj. S teboj bo, ne bo te razočaral niti te ne bo zapustil. Ne boj se niti ne bodi zaprepaden.«

9 And Moses wrote down this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and unto all the elders of Israel.

Mojzes je zapisal to postavo in jo izročil duhovnikom, sinovom Lévijevcev, ki so nosili skrinjo Gospodove zaveze, in vsem Izraelovim starešinam.

10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of [every] seven years, at the fixed time of the year of release, on the feast of tabernacles,

Mojzes jim je zapovedal, rekoč: »Ob koncu vsakih sedmih let, na slovesno leto odpusta, na šotorski praznik,

11 When all Israel come to appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he will choose, shalt thou read this law in the presence of all Israel in their hearing.

ko pride ves Izrael, da se prikaže pred Gospodom, tvojim Bogom, na kraju, ki ga bo on izbral, boš to postavo bral pred vsem Izraelom v njihovo uho.

12 Assemble the people together, the men, and the women, and the children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates; in order that they may hear, and in order that they may learn how they are to fear the Lord your God, and observe to do all the words of this law;

Skupaj zberi ljudstvo, može, žene, otroke in svojega tujca, ki je znotraj tvojih velikih vratih, da lahko slišijo in da se lahko naučijo in se bojijo Gospoda, svojega Boga in obeležujejo, da storijo vse besede te postave

13 And that their children, who have not yet any knowledge, may hear, and learn to fear the Lord your God, all the days which ye live in the land whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it.

in da njihovi otroci, ki niso poznali ničesar, lahko slišijo in se naučijo bati se Gospoda, svojega Boga, tako dolgo kot vi živite v deželi, kamor greste prek Jordana, da jo vzamete v last.«

14 And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die; call Joshua, and place yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge: and Moses and Joshua went, and placed themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.

Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Glej, približujejo se tvoji dnevi, ko moraš umreti. Pokliči Józueta in se postavita v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti, da mu lahko dam naročilo.« Mojzes in Józue sta odšla in se postavila v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti.

15 And the Lord appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of cloud; and the pillar of cloud stood at the door of the tabernacle.

Gospod se je prikazal v šotorskem svetišču, v oblačnem stebru in oblačni steber je stal nad vrati šotorskega svetišča.

16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers: and then will this people rise up, and go astray after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be in the midst of them, and they will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Glej, zaspal boš s svojimi očeti in to ljudstvo se bo vzdignilo in se šlo vlačugat za bogovi tujcev dežele, v katero gredo, da bi bili med njimi in zapustili me bodo in prelomili mojo zavezo, ki sem jo sklenil z njimi.

17 And my anger shall be kindled against them on that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be given to be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall overtake them; and they will say on that day, Is it not, because my God is not in the midst of me, that these evils have overtaken me?

Potem bo na tisti dan moja jeza vneta zoper njih in zapustil jih bom in svoj obraz bom skril pred njimi in použiti bodo in številna zla in težave jih bodo zadele, tako da bodo na tisti dan rekli: ›Ali niso nad nas prišla ta zla, ker med nami ni našega Boga?‹

18 But I will assuredly hide my face on that day on account of all the evils which they have wrought, because they have turned unto other gods.

Na tisti dan bom zagotovo skril svoj obraz zaradi vseh hudobij, ki jih bodo naredili v tem, da so se obrnili k drugim bogovom.

19 Now therefore write ye for yourselves this song, and teach it the children of Israel, put it in their mouth; in order that this song may become for me a witness against the children of Israel.

Zdaj si torej zapišite to pesem in jo učite Izraelove otroke. Položite jo v njihova usta, da bo ta pesem lahko priča zame zoper Izraelove otroke.

20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I have sworn unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat: then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.

Kajti ko jih bom privedel v deželo, ki sem jo prisegel njihovim očetom, kjer tečeta mleko in med in bodo jedli in se nasitili in postali debeli, potem se bodo obrnili k drugim bogovom in jim služili in me izzivali in prelomili mojo zavezo.

21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouth of their seed; for I know their inclination which they have shown, even this day, before I have brought them into the land which I have sworn.

Zgodilo se bo, ko jih bodo doletela mnoga zla in stiske, da bo ta pesem pričala zoper njih kakor priča, kajti ta ne bo pozabljena iz ust njihovega semena, kajti jaz poznam njihove zamisli, s katerimi hodijo naokoli, celo sedaj, preden sem jih privedel v deželo, ki sem jim jo prisegel.«

22 And Moses wrote down this song on the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.

Zato je Mojzes isti dan napisal to pesem in jo učil Izraelove otroke.

23 And he gave a charge unto Joshua the son of Nun, and said, Be strong and of a good courage; for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I have sworn unto them; and I will be with thee.

Nunovemu sinu Józuetu je dal zadolžitev in rekel: »Bodi močan in odločnega poguma, kajti ti boš Izraelove otroke privedel v deželo, ki sem jim jo prisegel in jaz bom s teboj.«

24 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,

Pripetilo se je, ko je Mojzes končal s pisanjem besed te postave v knjigo, dokler niso bile dokončane,

25 That Moses commanded the Levites, the bearers of the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying,

da je Mojzes zapovedal Lévijevcem, ki so nosili skrinjo Gospodove zaveze, rekoč:

26 Take this book of the law, and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may remain there against thee for a witness.

»Vzemite to knjigo postave in jo postavite v stran skrinje zaveze Gospoda, svojega Boga, da bo ta lahko tam za pričo zoper tebe.

27 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, have ye been rebellious against the Lord, and how much more after my death?

Kajti poznam tvoj upor in tvoj trdi vrat. Glej, medtem ko sem z vami ta dan še živ, ste bili uporni zoper Gospoda in koliko bolj po moji smrti?

28 Assemble unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers; and I will speak in their ears these words, and I will call as witnesses against them the heavens and the earth.

Zberite k meni vse starešine svojih rodov in svoje častnike, da lahko te besede govorim v njihova ušesa in kličem nebo in zemljo, da pričata zoper njih.

29 For I know that after my death ye will to a surety become corrupt, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and that the evil will befall you in the latter days, when ye do the evil in the eyes of the Lord, to incense him through the work of your hands.

Kajti vem, da se boste po moji smrti popolnoma izpridili in odvrnili od poti, ki sem vam jo zapovedal in zlo vas bo zadelo v zadnjih dneh, ker boste počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh, da ga dražite k jezi skozi dela svojih rok.«

30 And Moses spoke in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.

Mojzes je na ušesa vse Izraelove skupnosti govoril besede te pesmi, dokler se niso končale.
