Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, Israel: you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,
Slušaj, Izraele! Danas prelaziš preko Jordana da sebi podvrgneš narode i veće i brojnije nego što si ti; velike gradove, s utvrdama do nebesa;
2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, "Who can stand before the sons of Anak?"
narod velik i gorostasan poput Anakovaca, koje već poznaješ i o kojima si slušao: 'Tko da odoli Anakovcima?'
3 Know therefore this day, that the LORD your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you: so you shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as the LORD has spoken to you.
Znaj dakle danas da Jahve, Bog tvoj, ide pred tobom. On je vatra što proždire; on će ih oboriti, tebi ih podvrgnuti. A ti ćeš ih onda rastjerati i ubrzo pobiti, kako ti je Jahve i rekao.
4 Do not say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, "For my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land"; because the LORD drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.
Pošto ih otjera ispred tebe Jahve, Bog tvoj, nemoj reći u srcu svome: 'Jahve me uveo da zaposjednem ovu zemlju zbog moje pravednosti.' Naprotiv, zbog opačina onih naroda Jahve ih tjera ispred tebe.
5 Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Ne ideš ti da zaposjedneš njihovu zemlju zbog svoje pravednosti i čestitosti svoga srca, nego zato što Jahve, Bog tvoj, zbog opačine onih naroda tjera njih ispred tebe da tako održi riječ kojom se zakleo tvojim ocima: Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu.
6 Know therefore, that the LORD your God doesn't give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.
Znaj, dakle, da ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, ne daje ovu dobru zemlju u posjed zbog tvoje pravednosti, jer si ti narod tvrde šije!
7 Remember, do not forget, how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you went forth out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.
Sjećaj se i ne zaboravljaj kako si u pustinji ljutio Jahvu, Boga svoga. Od dana kad ste izašli iz zemlje egipatske do dolaska na ovo mjesto, Jahvi ste se opirali.
8 Also in Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was angry with you to destroy you.
Na Horebu ste rasrdili Jahvu i Jahve je na vas tako planuo da vas je htio uništiti.
9 When I was gone up onto the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water.
Popeo sam se na brdo da primim kamene ploče, ploče Saveza što ga s vama sklopi Jahve. Na brdu sam ostao četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći: niti sam jeo kruha niti pio vode.
10 The LORD delivered to me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God; and on them were all the words which the LORD spoke with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
I dade mi Jahve dvije kamene ploče, ispisane prstom Božjim, na kojima bijahu sve riječi što vam ih je Jahve isred ognja na brdu rekao na dan zbora.
11 It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant.
Kad je prošlo četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći, Jahve mi dade dvije kamene ploče - ploče Saveza.
12 The LORD said to me, "Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image."
I reče mi Jahve: 'Ustaj! Žurno siđi odavde, jer se pokvario narod tvoj koji si izveo iz Egipta. Brzo su zašli s puta koji sam im označio: već su sebi napravili livenog kumira.'
13 Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, "I have seen this people, and look, it is a stiff-necked people:
Još mi reče Jahve: 'Promatrao sam taj narod. Zbilja je to narod tvrde šije!
14 let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they."
Pusti me da ih uništim i njihovo ime izbrišem pod nebesima, a od tebe da učinim narod i jači i brojniji nego što je ovaj!'
15 So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire: and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
Okrenuh se i siđoh niz brdo, a brdo svejednako plamtjelo u ognju. Dvije ploče Saveza bijahu mi u rukama.
16 I looked, and look, you had sinned against the LORD your God; you had made yourselves a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
Pogledah: zbilja ste sagriješili protiv Jahve, Boga svoga. Salili ste sebi tele od kovine. Tako ste brzo zašli s puta što vam ga Jahve bijaše označio.
17 I took hold of the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
Pograbih dvije ploče te ih bacih od sebe objema rukama - razbih ploče pred vašim očima.
18 I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water; because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
Onda se ničice bacih pred Jahvu. Četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći - kao i prije - niti sam jeo kruha niti pio vode zbog svih grijeha koje ste počinili radeći zlo u očima Jahve i srdeći ga.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which the LORD was angry against you to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me that time also.
Jer se bojah srdžbe i gnjeva kojim je Jahve usplamtio na vas da vas zatre. Ali me i tada Jahve usliša.
20 The LORD was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
I na Arona se Jahve silno rasrdio, htio ga uništiti. Tada se zauzeh i za Arona.
21 I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.
Vaš grijeh, tele što bijaste načinili, uzeh i sažegoh ga u vatri. U prah ga satrh i prah mu bacih u potok što teče s brda.
22 At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked the LORD to wrath.
Kod Tabere, kod Mase i Kibrot Hataave srdili ste Jahvu.
23 When the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, "Go up and possess the land which I have given you"; then you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and you did not believe him, nor listen to his voice.
Kad vas je Jahve slao od Kadeš Barnee govoreći: 'Idite gore i uzmite zemlju koju sam vam dao', pobunili ste se protiv riječi Jahve, Boga svoga; u nj se niste pouzdavali niti ste slušali njegov glas.
24 You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
Nepokorni bijaste Jahvi otkad vas poznajem.
25 So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
Zato sam pao ničice i ležao pred Jahvom četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći, jer Jahve bijaše rekao da će vas uništiti.
26 I prayed to God, and said, "Lord GOD, do not destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
Jahvu sam molio i rekao: 'Gospodine moj, Jahve! Ne uništavaj naroda svoga, baštine svoje koju si izbavio u svojoj veličajnosti i svojom moćnom rukom izveo iz Egipta.
27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin,
Sjeti se slugu svojih: Abrahama, Izaka i Jakova, a ne obaziri se na tvrdokornost ovoga naroda, na njegovu opačinu, na grijeh njegov,
28 lest the land you brought us out from say, 'Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.'
da se ne rekne u zemlji iz koje si nas izbavio: Jahve ih nije mogao uvesti u zemlju koju im je obećao, ili ih je mrzio pa ih je zato odveo da ih pomori u pustinji.
29 Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm."
A oni su tvoj narod, tvoja baština, oni koje si izveo svojom velikom moći i ispruženom mišicom.'
