Deuteronomy 6
1 Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go 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 that you might fear the LORD your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your 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, Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a 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, Israel: the LORD is our God, the LORD is one.
Čuj, Izraele! Jahve je Bog naš, Jahve je jedan!
5 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
Zato ljubi Jahvu, Boga svoga, svim srcem svojim, svom dušom svojom i svom snagom svojom!
6 These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your heart;
Riječi ove što ti ih danas naređujem neka ti se urežu u srce.
7 and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
Napominji ih svojim sinovima. Govori im o njima kad sjediš u svojoj kući i kad ideš putem; kad liježeš i kad ustaješ.
8 You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes.
Priveži ih na svoju ruku za znak i neka ti budu kao zapis među očima!
9 You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates.
Ispiši ih na dovratnicima kuće svoje i na vratima svojim!
10 It shall be, when the LORD your God shall bring you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you did 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 you did not fill, and cisterns dug out, which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you did not plant, and you shall eat and be full;
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 lest you forget the LORD, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
pazi da ne zaboraviš Jahvu koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske, iz kuće ropstva.
13 You shall fear the LORD your God; and you shall serve him only, and you shall cling to him, and take oaths by his name.
Boj se Jahve, Boga svoga; njemu iskazuj štovanje; njegovim imenom polaži prisegu.
14 You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you;
Ne idite za drugim bogovima između bogova drugih naroda što su oko vas.
15 for the LORD your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you 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 Do not test the LORD your God, as you tested him at Massah.
Ne iskušavajte Jahvu, Boga svoga, kao što ste ga iskušavali kod Mase.
17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
Točno vršite zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, upute njegove i zakone njegove koje je izdao.
18 You shall do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to your 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 thrust out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken.
da će iz nje protjerati sve tvoje neprijatelje ispred tebe; tako je obećao Jahve.
20 When your son asks you in time to come, saying, "What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD our God has commanded you mean?"
A kad te sutra zapita tvoj sin: što su te upute, zakoni i uredbe što ih je Jahve, Bog naš, vama propisao -
21 then you shall tell your son, "We were Pharaoh's bondservants 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 showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, 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 he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
a nas je odande izveo da nas dovede i dade nam zemlju koju je zakletvom obećao ocima našim.
24 The LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as 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 It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us."
Naša će, dakle, pravednost biti: držati i vršiti sve ove zapovijedi pred Jahvom, Bogom našim, kako nam je naredio.
