Deuteronomy 31
1 And Moses goes and speaks these words to all Israel,
Mojsije dođe da upravi ove riječi svemu Izraelu:
2 and he says to them, “I [am] a son of one hundred and twenty years today; I am not able to go out and to come in anymore, and YHWH has said to me, You do not pass over this Jordan.
“Meni je danas sto dvadeset godina”, - reče im. “Ne mogu više izlaziti i ulaziti. A Jahve mi je rekao: 'Nećeš prijeći ovog Jordana!'
3 Your God YHWH—He is passing over before you; He destroys these nations from before you, and you have possessed them; Joshua—he is passing over before you, as YHWH has spoken.
Sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, pred tobom će prijeći; on će pred tobom potući one narode da ih otjerate s posjeda. Jošua će pred tobom ići, kako je Jahve rekao.
4 And YHWH has done to them as he has done to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorite, and to their land, whom He destroyed.
Jahve će postupiti s njima kako je postupio sa Sihonom i Ogom, amorejskim kraljevima, i njihovom zemljom kad ih uništi.
5 And YHWH has given them before your face, and you have done to them according to all the command which I have commanded you;
Pred vas će ih Jahve položiti, a vi ćete s njima postupati prema svim naredbama koje sam vam dao.
6 be strong and courageous, do not fear, nor be terrified because of them, for your God YHWH [is] He who is going with you; He does not fail you nor forsake you.”
Ohrabrite se i budite odlučni! Ne bojte se i nemojte prÓedati pred njima. TÓa sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, ide s tobom; neće te zapustiti niti će te ostaviti.”
7 And Moses calls for Joshua and says to him before the eyes of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you go in with this people to the land which YHWH has sworn to their fathers to give to them, and you cause them to inherit it;
Tada Mojsije zovnu Jošuu pa mu reče pred svim Izraelom: “Ohrabri se i budi odlučan! Jer ti ćeš ići s ovim narodom u zemlju za koju se Jahve zakle ocima njihovim da će im je dati; ti ćeš im je predavati u baštinu.
8 and YHWH [is] He who is going before you, He Himself is with you; He does not fail you nor forsake you; do not fear, nor be frightened.”
Sam Jahve ide pred tobom; on će s tobom biti; neće te zapustiti niti će te ostaviti. Ne boj se i ne dršći!”
9 And Moses writes this law and gives it to the priests (sons of Levi, those carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH), and to all [the] elderly of Israel,
Mojsije napisa ovaj Zakon i predade ga svećenicima, sinovima Levijevim, koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina, i svim izraelskim starješinama.
10 and Moses commands them, saying, “At the end of seven years, in the appointed time, the year of release, in the Celebration of Shelters,
Mojsije im naredi: “Svake sedme godine - godine oprosne - na Blagdan sjenica,
11 in the coming in of all Israel to see the face of YHWH in the place which He chooses, you proclaim this law before all Israel in their ears.
kad dođe sav Izrael da vidi lice Jahve, Boga tvoga, na mjestu koje on odabere, pročitaj ovaj Zakon u nazočnosti svega Izraela.
12 Assemble the people, the men, and the women, and the infants, and your sojourner who [is] within your gates, so that they hear, and so that they learn, and have feared your God YHWH, and observed to do all the words of this law;
Saberi narod - ljude, žene, djecu i došljaka što bude u tvojim gradovima - da čuju i da nauče bojati se Jahve, Boga vašega, pa da drže i vrše sve riječi ovog Zakona.
13 and their sons, who have not known, hear and have learned to fear your God YHWH [for] all the days which you are living on the ground to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess it.”
Sinovi njihovi, koji to još ne znaju, čut će i naučit će bojati se Jahve, Boga vašega, sve vrijeme dok budete živjeli na zemlji što ćete je, prešavši Jordan, zaposjesti.”
14 And YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, your days have drawn near to die; call Joshua, and station yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, and I charge him”; and Moses goes—Joshua also—and they station themselves in the Tent of Meeting,
Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Evo se bliži vrijeme tvoje smrti. Zovni Jošuu i nađite se u Šatoru sastanka da mu dam zapovijedi.” Mojsije i Jošua dođu u Šator sastanka.
15 and YHWH is seen in the tent in a pillar of a cloud; and the pillar of the cloud stands at the opening of the tent.
U Šatoru pokaže se Jahve u stupu od oblaka. Stup od oblaka stajao je na ulazu u Šator.
16 And YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, you are lying down with your fathers, and this people has risen and gone whoring after the gods of the stranger of the land, into the midst of which it has entered, and it has forsaken Me and broken My covenant which I made with it;
Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Evo ćeš naskoro počinuti sa svojim ocima. A narod će se ovaj dići da čini blud idući za tuđim bogovima one zemlje u koju će naskoro ući; mene će napustiti i prekršit će moj Savez što ga s njim sklopih.
17 and My anger has burned against it in that day, and I have forsaken them, and hidden My face from them, and it has been for consumption, and many evils and distresses have found it, and it has said in that day, [Is] it not because my God is not in my midst that these evils have found me?
I onda će se izliti moj gnjev na nj. Ostavit ću ih tada i sakriti od njih svoje lice da budu proždirani. Snaći će ih mnoga zla i nevolje i onda će reći: 'Zar me ne snalaze ove nevolje zbog toga što Bog moj nije u mojoj sredini?'
18 And I certainly hide My face in that day for all the evil which it has done, for it has turned to other gods.
A ja ću sasvim sakriti svoje lice u taj dan, zbog svega zla što ga budu činili okrećući se drugim bogovima.
19 And now, write this song for yourselves, and teach it [to] the sons of Israel; put it in their mouths, so that this song is to Me for a witness against the sons of Israel.
Pišite sada sebi ovu pjesmu. Neka je nauče Izraelci! Stavi je u njihova usta da mi ova pjesma bude svjedokom protiv Izraelaca.
20 When I bring them to the ground flowing with milk and honey, which I have sworn to their fathers, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, and been fat, and have turned to other gods, and they have served them, and despised Me, and broken My covenant,
Kad ih dovedem u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko i za koju se zakleh ocima njihovim i kad se najedu, nasite i ugoje, okrenut će se oni drugim bogovima i njima će iskazivati štovanje; mene će prezreti i prekršiti moj Savez.
21 then it has been, when many evils and distresses meet it, that this song has testified to its face for a witness; for it is not forgotten out of the mouth of its seed, for I have known its imagining which it is doing today, before I bring them into the land of which I have sworn.”
A kad ih snađu mnoge nesreće i nevolje, ova pjesma, jer je njihovo potomstvo neće nikada zaboraviti, pružit će svjedočanstvo protiv njih. Jer znam ja njihove osnove i što već danas snuju, prije nego sam ih i doveo u zemlju koju im pod zakletvom obećah.”
22 And Moses writes this song on that day, and teaches it [to] the sons of Israel.
Toga dana napisa Mojsije ovu pjesmu i nauči Izraelce pjesmi.
23 Then He commands Joshua son of Nun, and says, “Be strong and courageous, for you bring in the sons of Israel to the land which I have sworn to them, and I am with you.”
Nunovu sinu Jošui naloži: “Ohrabri se i budi odlučan! Jer ti ćeš uvesti Izraelce u zemlju za koju sam im se zakleo. I ja ću biti s tobom.”
24 And it comes to pass, when Moses finishes to write the words of this law on a scroll, until their completion,
Kad Mojsije napisa riječi ovoga Zakona u knjigu,
25 that Moses commands the Levites carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, saying,
tada naredi Levijevcima, koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina:
26 “Take this Scroll of the Law, and you have set it on the side of the Ark of the Covenant of your God YHWH, and it has been against you for a witness there;
“Uzmite knjigu ovoga Zakona i položite je uz Kovčeg saveza Jahvina. Neka ondje bude svjedokom protiv tebe!
27 for I have known your rebellion and your stiff neck; behold, in my being yet alive with you today, you have been rebelling against YHWH, and surely also after my death.
TÓa znam ja tvoju buntovnost i tvoju tvrdu šiju. Evo i danas, dok još s vama živim, bunite se protiv Jahve. A kako li nećete kad ja umrem!
28 Assemble to me all the elderly of your tribes, and your authorities, and I speak these words in their ears, and cause the heavens and the earth to testify against them,
Saberite k meni sve starješine svojih plemena i svoje nadglednike da na njihove uši kažem ove riječi te da protiv njih uzmem za svjedoke nebo i zemlju.
29 for I have known that you act very corruptly after my death, and have turned aside from the way which I commanded you, and evil has met you in the latter end of the days, because you do evil in the eyes of YHWH, to make Him angry with the work of your hands.”
Jer znam ja da ćete se nakon moje smrti izopačiti i skrenuti s puta koji sam vam odredio; nesreća će vas snaći u budućim vremenima kad budete činili što je Jahvi nemilo i gnjevili ga djelima ruku svojih.”
30 And Moses speaks the words of this song in the ears of all the assembly of Israel, until their completion:
A onda, na uši sve zajednice izraelske, Mojsije izgovori do kraja riječi ove pjesme:
