Deuteronomy 4
1 Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them; that you may live, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, gives you.
Nu tad, Israēl, klausi tos likumus un tās tiesas, ko es jums mācu darīt, lai jūs dzīvojat un ienākat un iemantojat to zemi, ko Tas Kungs, jūsu tēvu Dievs, jums dod.
2 You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish from it, that you may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you.
Pie tā vārda, ko es jums pavēlu, jums neko nebūs pielikt, nedz no tā ko atraut, ka jūs turat Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, baušļus, ko es jums pavēlu.
3 Your eyes have seen what Jehovah did because of Baal Peor; for all the men who followed Baal Peor, Jehovah your God has destroyed them from the midst of you.
Jūsu acis ir redzējušas, ko Tas Kungs Baāl-Peora dēļ darījis; jo ikvienu, kas Baāl-Peoram dzinās pakaļ, to Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, ir izdeldējis no jūsu vidus.
4 But you who were faithful to Jehovah your God are all alive this day.
Bet jūs, kas esat pieķērušies Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, jūs šodien visi esat dzīvi.
5 Look, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Jehovah my God commanded me, that you should do so in the midst of the land where you go in to possess it.
Redzi, es jums esmu mācījis tos likumus un tās tiesas, itin kā Tas Kungs, mans Dievs, man pavēlējis, lai jūs tā darāt tanī zemē, ko jūs ejat iemantot.
6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear all these statutes, and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people."
Turat nu tos un darāt tos, jo šī būs jūsu gudrība un jūsu saprašana to ļaužu acīs, kas visus šos likumus dzirdēs un sacīs: tiešām gudri un prātīgi ļaudis ir šī lielā tauta.
7 For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, as Jehovah our God is whenever we call on him?
Jo kur ir cita tāda liela tauta, kam dievi tik tuvu, kā Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, mums, cikkārt viņu piesaucam?
8 What great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
Un kur ir cita tāda liela tauta, kam tādi taisni likumi un tiesas, kā visa šī bauslība, ko es šodien lieku jūsu priekšā?
9 Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children's children;
Bet sargies un sargi ļoti savu dvēseli, ka tu neaizmirsti to, ko tavas acis redzējušas, ka tas neizzūd no tavas sirds visās tava mūža dienās.
10 the day that you stood before Jehovah your God in Horeb, when Jehovah said to me, "Assemble me the people, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children."
Un dari to zināmu saviem bērniem un saviem bērnu bērniem. Tai dienā, kad tu stāvēji priekš Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, Horebā, kad Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: sapulcini Man tos ļaudis, un Es tiem došu dzirdēt Savus vārdus, lai tie mācās Mani bīties visas dienas, cik ilgi tie virs zemes dzīvo, un lai tie tos māca saviem bērniem,
11 You came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.
Tad jūs piegājāt un stāvējāt apakšā pie tā kalna, un tas kalns dega ugunī līdz debess vidum; tur bija tumsa, mākonis un krēsla;
12 Jehovah spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: you heard the voice of words, but you saw no form; you only heard a voice.
Un Tas Kungs runāja uz jums no uguns vidus; jūs dzirdējāt to vārdu balsi, bet jūs neredzējāt nekādu ģīmi, balss vien bija.
13 He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them on two tablets of stone.
Tad Viņš jums pasludināja Savu derību, ko Viņš jums pavēlēja darīt, (proti) tos desmit vārdus, un tos rakstīja uz diviem akmens galdiņiem.
14 Jehovah commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it.
Un Tas Kungs tanī laikā man pavēlēja, lai es jums mācu likumus un tiesas, ko lai jūs dariet tai zemē, ko jūs ejat iemantot.
15 Therefore watch yourselves carefully; for you saw no kind of form on the day that Jehovah spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire.
Tad nu sargājaties ļoti savu dvēseļu labad; jo jūs nekādu ģīmi neesat redzējuši tai dienā, kad Tas Kungs Horebā uz jums runāja no uguns vidus, -
16 Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself an engraved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
Ka jūs neapgrēkojaties un sev nedarāt nekādu elka bildi, nekāda tēla līdzību, nedz vīra nedz sievas ģīmi,
17 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky,
Nekāda lopa ģīmi, kas virs zemes, nekāda spārnaina putna ģīmi, kas apakš debess skraida,
18 the likeness of any crawling creature that crawls on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water below the land;
Nekāda tārpa ģīmi, kas virs zemes lien, nekādas zivs ģīmi, kas ūdenī apakš zemes;
19 and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Jehovah your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.
Un ka tu savas acis nepacel uz debesīm, uzlūkodams sauli un mēnesi un zvaigznes, visu debespulku, un neliecies kārdināties, viņu priekšā zemē mesties un tiem kalpot; tos Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, ir piešķīris visiem ļaudīm apakš visas debess.
20 But God has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as at this day.
Bet jūs Tas Kungs ir pieņēmis un jūs izvedis no tā dzelzs cepļa, no Ēģiptes, lai jūs esat Viņa īpaša tauta, kā tas šodien ir.
21 Furthermore Jehovah was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land, which Jehovah your God gives you for an inheritance:
Un Tas Kungs par mani dusmojās jūsu dēļ un zvērēja, ka man nebūs iet pār Jārdani un ka man nebūs nākt uz to labo zemi, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dod par daļu.
22 but I must die in this land, I must not go over the Jordan; but you shall go over, and possess that good land.
Jo man jāmirst šinī zemē un es neiešu pār Jardāni, bet jūs iesiet un iemantosiet šo labo zemi.
23 Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he made with you, and make you an engraved image in the form of anything which Jehovah your God has forbidden you.
Tad sargājaties nu, ka jūs neaizmirstat Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, derību, ko Viņš ar jums derējis, ka jūs sev nedarāt nekādu elka bildi, nekādu tēlu, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, ir aizliedzis.
24 For Jehovah your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
Jo Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, ir rijoša uguns, stiprs Dievs, dusmotājs.
25 When you shall father children, and children's children, and you shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make an engraved image in the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah your God, to provoke him to anger;
Kad nu jūs dzemdināsiet bērnus un bērnu bērnus un tapsiet veci tai zemē un apgrēkosities, darīdami kādu elka bildi, jeb kādas lietas tēlu, un grēkosiet priekš Tā Kunga, sava Dieva vaiga, Viņu apkaitinādami,
26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over the Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
Tad pār jums šodien piesaucu debesis un zemi par lieciniekiem, ka jūs bojā iesiet piepeši no tās zemes virsas, uz kurieni jūs ejat pār Jardāni to iemantot; jūs tur ilgi nepaliksiet, bet ar izdeldēšanu tapsiet izdeldēti.
27 Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations, where Jehovah will drive you.
Un Tas Kungs jūs izkaisīs starp tautām un no jums atliksies mazs pulciņš starp pagāniem, kurp Tas Kungs jūs aizdzīs.
28 There you shall serve other gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
Un tur jūs kalposiet dieviem, kas ir cilvēku rokas darbs, koks un akmens, kas ne redz, ne dzird, ne ēd, ne ož.
29 But from there you shall seek Jehovah your God, and you shall find him, when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Tad tur jūs meklēsiet To Kungu, savu Dievu, un Viņu atradīsiet, kad meklēsi no visas savas sirds un no visas savas dvēseles.
30 When you are in oppression, and all these things have come on you, in the latter days you shall return to Jehovah your God, and listen to his voice:
Kad būsi bēdās un visas šīs lietas tev notiks nākamās dienās, tad tu atgriezīsies pie Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, un klausīsi Viņa balsi.
31 for Jehovah your God is a merciful God; he will not fail you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them.
Jo sirds žēlīgs Dievs ir Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs; Viņš tevi neatstās, nedz tevi izdeldēs, nedz aizmirsīs tavu tēvu derību, ko Viņš tiem ir zvērējis.
32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created humankind on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been anything as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?
Jo vaicā jel pēc tiem pagājušiem laikiem, kas priekš tevis bijuši no tās dienas, kad Dievs cilvēku virs zemes radījis, no viena debess gala līdz otram, vai tāda lieta ir notikusi, kā šī, vai dzirdēta, kā šī?
33 Did a people ever hear the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
Vai kādi ļaudis dzirdējuši Dieva balsi runājam no uguns vidus, kā tu esi dzirdējis, un palikuši dzīvi?
34 Or has God tried to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Jehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
Jeb vai Dievs ir apņēmies iet un Sev vienu tautu ņemt no tautu vidus caur pārbaudīšanām, caur zīmēm un caur brīnumiem un caur karu un caur stipru roku un caur izstieptu elkoni un caur lielām iztrūcināšanām, kā visu to Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, jums darījis priekš jūsu acīm Ēģiptes zemē?
35 It was shown to you so that you might know that Jehovah is God. There is no one else besides him.
Tev tas ir rādīts, lai tu zini, ka Tas Kungs ir Dievs, cits neviens, kā tik Viņš.
36 Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you: and on earth he made you to see his great fire; and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire.
No debesīm Viņš tev licis dzirdēt Savu balsi, tevi pamācīdams, un virs zemes Viņš tev rādījis Savu lielo uguni, un tu Viņa vārdus esi dzirdējis no uguns vidus.
37 Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their descendants after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt;
Un tāpēc, ka Viņš tavus tēvus bija mīlējis un izredzējis viņu dzimumu pēc viņiem, tad Viņš tevi izvedis ar Savu vaigu no Ēģiptes zemes caur Savu lielo spēku,
38 to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as at this day.
Gribēdams izdzīt tavā priekšā lielas tautas, kas jo stiprākas nekā tu, un tevi ievest viņu zemē, un tev to dot par daļu, kā tas šodien ir.
39 Know therefore this day, and lay it to your heart, that Jehovah he is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.
Tā tev šodien būs zināt, un savā sirdī pieminēt, ka Tas Kungs ir Dievs augšā debesīs un apakšā virs zemes, un cits neviens.
40 You shall keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command you this day, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land, which Jehovah your God gives you, forever.
Un tev būs turēt Viņa likumus un Viņa baušļus, ko es tev šodien pavēlu, lai labi klājās tev un taviem bērniem pēc tevis, un lai tavas dienas top pagarinātas tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dod mūžīgi.
41 Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;
Tad Mozus atšķīra trīs pilsētas viņpus Jardānes pret saules uzlēkšanu,
42 that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unawares, and did not hate him in time past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:
Ka uz turieni bēgtu tas nokāvējs, kas savu tuvāko netīši nositis, ar ko viņš agrāk nebija ienaidā, ka tas nobēgtu uz vienu no šīm pilsētām un paliktu dzīvs, -
43 Bezer in the wilderness, on the plateau, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.
Beceru tuksnesī, klajā zemē, priekš Rūbeniešiem, un Rāmotu Gileādā priekš Gadiešiem, un Golanu Basanā priekš Manasiešiem.
44 This is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
Šī nu ir tā bauslība, ko Mozus lika priekšā Israēla bērniem;
45 these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt,
Šīs tās liecības un tie likumi un tās tiesas, ko Mozus uz Israēla bērniem runāja, kad tie bija izgājuši no Ēģiptes zemes,
46 beyond the Jordan, in the valley over against Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel struck, when they came forth out of Egypt.
Viņpus Jardānes, tai ielejā Bet-Peoram pretī, Sihona, Amoriešu ķēniņa zemē, kas Hešbonā dzīvoja, ko Mozus un Israēla bērni sakāva, kad tie bija izgājuši no Ēģiptes zemes.
47 They took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;
Un tie viņa zemi bija iemantojuši, arī Oga, Basanas ķēniņa, zemi, to divu Amoriešu ķēniņu zemi, kas viņpus Jardānes pret saules lēkšanu,
48 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, even to Mount Sion (that is, Hermon),
No Aroēra, kas pie Arnonas upes krasta, līdz Sihona kalnam, tas ir Hermons,
49 and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.
Un visu klajumu viņpus Jardānes pret rītiem līdz klajuma ezeram apakš Pizgas pakalniem.
