Deuteronomy 7
1 When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Emorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations, greater in number and mightier than thou;
Kad te Jahve, Bog tvoj, uvede u zemlju u koju ideš da je zaposjedneš i kad ispred tebe otjera mnoge narode: Hetite, Girgašane, Amorejce, Kanaance, Perižane, Hivijce i Jebusejce - sedam naroda brojnijih i jačih od tebe -
2 And when the Lord thy God shall give them up before thee, and thou dost smite them: thou shalt utterly destroy them; thou shalt not make any covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them.
te kad ih Jahve, Bog tvoj, preda tebi i ti ih poraziš, udari ih prokletstvom; nemoj sklapati s njima saveza niti im iskazuj milosti.
3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughters shalt thou not give unto his son, and his daughter shalt thou not take unto thy son.
Ne sklapaj ženidbe s njima, ne udavaj svoje kćeri za njihova sina niti ženi svoga sina njihovom kćeri;
4 For he would turn away thy son from following me, so that they might serve other gods; and the anger of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he would destroy thee speedily.
jer bi ona odvratila od mene sina tvoga; drugim bi bogovima on služio; Jahve bi se razgnjevio protiv vas i brzo bi te istrijebio.
5 But thus shall ye do unto them: their altars shall ye pull down, and their statues shall ye break, and their groves shall ye cut down, and their graven images shall ye burn with fire.
Nego ovako učinite prema njima: porušite njihove žrtvenike, porazbijajte njihove stupove, njihove ašere počupajte a njihove kumire spalite.
6 For thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God; of thee the Lord thy God hath made choice to be unto himself a special people, above all the nations that are upon the face of the earth.
TÓa ti si narod posvećen Jahvi, Bogu svome; tebe je Jahve, Bog tvoj, izabrao da među svim narodima koji su na zemlji budeš njegov predragi vlastiti narod.
7 Not because ye are more in number than all the nations, did the Lord desire you and make choice of you; for ye are the fewest of all the nations;
Nije vas Jahve odabrao i prihvatio zato što biste vi bili brojniji od svih naroda - vi ste zapravo najmanji -
8 But on account of the love of the Lord for you, and because he keepeth the oath which he hath sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bond-men, out of the hand of Pharaoh the king of Egypt.
nego zato što vas Jahve ljubi i drži zakletvu kojom se zakleo vašim ocima. Stoga vas je Jahve izveo jakom rukom i oslobodio vas iz kuće ropstva, ispod vlasti faraona, kralja egipatskoga.
9 Know then that the Eternal thy God, is the God, the faithful God, who keepeth the covenant and the mercy with those that love him and with those that keep his commandments to the thousandth generation;
Zato znaj da je Jahve, Bog tvoj, pravi Bog, Bog vjeran, koji drži svoj Savez i milost svoju iskazuje do tisuću koljena onima koji ga ljube i drže njegove zapovijedi.
10 And repayeth those that hate him to their face, to destroy them; he will not delay to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
A onima koji ga mrze uzvraća izravno njima samima; uništava bez odgađanja onoga koji ga mrzi: uzvraća izravno njemu samomu.
11 Therefore shalt thou keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command thee this day, to do them.
Stoga drži zapovijedi, zakone i uredbe koje ti danas nalažem da ih vršiš.
12 And it shall come to pass in reward for that ye will hearken to these ordinances, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God will keep unto thee the covenant and the kindness which he hath sworn unto thy fathers:
A za nagradu - budeš li slušao ove naloge, držao ih te izvršavao - Jahve, Bog tvoj, držat će ti Savez svoj i milost za koje se zakleo tvojim ocima.
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee; and he will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flocks, in the land which he hath sworn unto thy fathers to give unto thee.
Ljubit će te, blagoslivljati i razmnažati; blagoslivljat će plod utrobe tvoje i rod zemlje tvoje: žito tvoje, vino tvoje, ulje tvoje, mlad krava tvojih i prirast stoke tvoje u zemlji za koju se zakleo ocima tvojim da će je tebi dati.
14 Blessed shalt thou be above all the nations; there shall not be a barren male or female among thee, nor among thy cattle.
Bit ćeš blagoslovljen nad sve narode; neće u tebe biti ni neplodna ni neplodne, ni među tvojom čeljadi ni među stokom tvojom.
15 And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness; and all the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, will he not put upon thee; but he will lay them upon all those that hate thee.
Jahve će od tebe maknuti svaku bolest; neće na te pustiti ni jedno od strašnih zala egipatskih za koja znaš nego će njima pritiskati one koji te mrze.
16 And thou shalt consume all the nations which the Lord thy God giveth unto thee; thy eye shall not look with pity upon them: and thou shalt not serve their gods; for that would be a snare unto thee.
Uništavaj sve narode koje ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, bude predavao. Neka ih ne sažaljuje oko tvoje. Nemoj se klanjati njihovim kumirima, jer bi ti to bilo zamkom.
17 If thou shouldst say in thy heart, These nations are more numerous than I: how shall I be able to dispossess them?
Možda ćeš u svome srcu reći: 'Oni su narodi brojniji od mene, kako ću ih onda protjerati?'
18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them; [but] thou shalt well remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
Ne boj ih se! Sjeti se što je Jahve, Bog tvoj, učinio faraonu i svemu Egiptu!
19 The great proofs which thy eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: in this wise will the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
Pomisli na velike kušnje što si ih vidio na svoje oči; na one znakove i čudesa pa na jaku ruku i ispruženu mišicu kojima te Jahve, Bog tvoj, izveo. Tako će Jahve, Bog tvoj, učiniti sa svim narodima kojih se plašiš.
20 Moreover the hornet will the Lord thy God send out against them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
Povrh toga, među njih će Jahve, Bog tvoj, slati stršljene dok ne izginu koji bi preostali i sakrili se pred tobom.
21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them; for the Lord thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty and terrible God.
Ne strepi, dakle, pred njima! TÓa Jahve, Bog tvoj, u sredini je tvojoj, Bog silan i strahovit.
22 And the Lord thy God will chase out these nations before thee, little by little: thou shalt not be able to make an end of them speedily, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
Malo će pomalo Jahve, Bog tvoj, ispred tebe uništiti one narode; i nećeš ih moći ujedanput sve istrijebiti da se zvijeri ne bi protiv tebe razmnožile.
23 And the Lord thy God will give them up before thee, and he will bring among them a mighty confusion, until they be destroyed.
Ali Jahve, Bog tvoj, tebi će ih predati i među njih unositi stravu dok ne budu uništeni.
24 And he will give their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under the heavens: no man shall be able to stand up before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
I njihove će kraljeve predati u tvoje ruke da zatreš ime njihovo pod nebom. Nijedan se neće održati pred tobom dok ih ne uništiš.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not covet the silver or gold that is on them, so that thou wouldst take it unto thyself, lest thou be ensnared thereby; for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
Likove njihovih kumira spali! Ne hlepi za srebrom i zlatom što je na njima; ne uzimlji ga da ne budeš njime zaveden; jer bi to bilo gadno Jahvi, Bogu tvome.
26 And thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house, lest thou become accursed like it: thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is accursed.
Ne unosi gnusobe u svoju kuću da ne budeš udaren prokletstvom kao i ona; duboko je prezri i grozi se od nje jer je prokleta.
