Deuteronomy 6
1 And this is the commandment, with the statutes, and the ordinances, which the Lord your God hath commanded to teach you, to do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it:
Ovo su zapovijedi, zakoni i uredbe koje mi Jahve, Bog vaš, zapovjedi da vas u njima poučim, kako biste ih vršili u zemlji u koju odlazite da je zaposjednete;
2 In order that you mayest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and in order that thy days may be prolonged.
da se svega svog vijeka bojiš Jahve, Boga svoga, ti, sin tvoj i sin tvoga sina, vršeći sve zakone njegove i sve zapovijedi njegove što ti ih danas propisujem, pa da imaš dug život.
3 Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase greatly, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.
Slušaj, Izraele, drži ih i vrši da ti dobro bude i da se razmnožiš u zemlji kojom teče med i mlijeko, kao što ti je obećao Jahve, Bog otaca tvojih.
4 Hear, O Israel! The Lord, our God, is the One Eternal Being.
Čuj, Izraele! Jahve je Bog naš, Jahve je jedan!
5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Zato ljubi Jahvu, Boga svoga, svim srcem svojim, svom dušom svojom i svom snagom svojom!
6 And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart:
Riječi ove što ti ih danas naređujem neka ti se urežu u srce.
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and thou shalt speak of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Napominji ih svojim sinovima. Govori im o njima kad sjediš u svojoj kući i kad ideš putem; kad liježeš i kad ustaješ.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thy eyes.
Priveži ih na svoju ruku za znak i neka ti budu kao zapis među očima!
9 And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.
Ispiši ih na dovratnicima kuće svoje i na vratima svojim!
10 And it shall be, when the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land which he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto thee, great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,
A kad te Jahve, Bog tvoj, dovede u zemlju za koju se zakleo tvojim ocima, Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu, da će je tebi dati - u velike i lijepe gradove kojih nisi zidao;
11 And houses full of all good things, which thou didst not fill, and wells hewed out which thou didst not hew, vineyards and olive-trees, which thou didst not plant; and thou hast eaten and art satisfied:
u kuće pune svakog dobra kojih nisi punio; na iskopane čatrnje kojih nisi kopao; u vinograde i maslinike kojih nisi sadio - i sit se najedeš:
12 Then beware that thou do not forget the Lord, who hath brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
pazi da ne zaboraviš Jahvu koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske, iz kuće ropstva.
13 The Lord thy God shalt thou fear, and him shalt thou serve, and by his name shalt thou swear.
Boj se Jahve, Boga svoga; njemu iskazuj štovanje; njegovim imenom polaži prisegu.
14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the nations which are round about you;
Ne idite za drugim bogovima između bogova drugih naroda što su oko vas.
15 For the Lord thy God is a watchful God among you: so that the anger of the Lord thy God may not be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
Jer je Jahve, Bog tvoj, što stoji u sredini tvojoj, ljubomoran Bog; gnjev bi Jahve, Boga tvoga, usplamtio protiv tebe i istrijebio te sa zemlje.
16 Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
Ne iskušavajte Jahvu, Boga svoga, kao što ste ga iskušavali kod Mase.
17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
Točno vršite zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, upute njegove i zakone njegove koje je izdao.
18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the eyes of the Lord; in order that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and take possession of the good land which the Lord hath sworn unto thy fathers,
Čini što je pravo i dobro u očima Jahve da ti dobro bude i da se domogneš dobre zemlje za koju se Jahve zakleo tvojim ocima
19 To cast out all thy enemies from before thee; as the Lord hath spoken.
da će iz nje protjerati sve tvoje neprijatelje ispred tebe; tako je obećao Jahve.
20 When thy son should ask thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?
A kad te sutra zapita tvoj sin: što su te upute, zakoni i uredbe što ih je Jahve, Bog naš, vama propisao -
21 Then shalt thou say unto thy son, We were bondmen unto Pharaoh in Egypt; and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
kaži svome sinu: 'Bili smo faraonovi robovi u Egiptu, ali nas je Jahve izveo iz Egipta jakom rukom.
22 And the Lord let come signs and wonders, great and sore, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his household, before our eyes;
Na naše je oči Jahve učinio velike i strašne znakove i čudesa protiv Egipta, protiv faraona i protiv svega doma njegova,
23 And us he brought out from there; in order to bring us in, to give us the land which he had sworn unto our fathers.
a nas je odande izveo da nas dovede i dade nam zemlju koju je zakletvom obećao ocima našim.
24 And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God; that it might be well with us at all times, and that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
I naredio nam je Jahve da sve ove naredbe vršimo u strahopoštovanju prema Jahvi, Bogu svome, da bismo uvijek bili sretni i da živimo kao što je to danas.'
25 And it shall be accounted righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
Naša će, dakle, pravednost biti: držati i vršiti sve ove zapovijedi pred Jahvom, Bogom našim, kako nam je naredio.
