< Deuteronomy 2 >

1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as YHWH spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.
Potem smo se obrnili in šli na svoje potovanje v divjino, ob poti Rdečega morja, kakor mi je Gospod govoril in mnogo dni smo obkrožali gorovje Seír.
2 YHWH spoke to me, saying,
In Gospod mi je spregovoril, rekoč:
3 "You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.
›Dovolj dolgo ste obkrožali to goro, obrnite se proti severu.
4 Command the people, saying, 'You are to pass through the border of your brothers the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: take good heed to yourselves therefore;
Zapovej ljudstvu, rekoč: ›Šli boste skozi pokrajino svojih bratov, Ezavovih otrok, ki prebivajo v Seírju in oni se vas bodo bali, zato dobro pazite nase.
5 do not contend with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
Ne vmešavajte se vanje, kajti ne bom vam dal od njihove dežele, ne, niti za širino stopala ne, ker sem gorovje Seír izročil Ezavu za posest.
6 You shall purchase food of them for money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water of them for money, that you may drink.'"
Od njih boste hrano kupovali za denar, da boste lahko jedli in od njih boste tudi vodo kupovali za denar, da boste lahko pili.
7 For YHWH your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years YHWH your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.
Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, te je blagoslovil pri vseh delih tvoje roke. Pozna tvojo hojo skozi to veliko divjino. Teh štirideset let je bil Gospod, tvoj Bog, s teboj; nikakršnega pomanjkanja nisi trpel.‹‹
8 So we passed by from our brothers the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Eilat and from Ezion Geber. We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
Ko smo šli mimo svojih bratov, Ezavovih otrok, ki so prebivali v Seírju, skozi pot ravnine od Eláta in od Ecjón Geberja, smo se obrnili in prešli po poti moábske divjine.
9 YHWH said to me, "Do not bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot for a possession."
Gospod mi je rekel: ›Moábcev ne spravi v tegobo niti se z njimi ne spoprimi v boju, kajti njihove dežele ti ne bom dal v last, ker sem Ar dal Lotovim otrokom za posest.‹
10 (The Emim lived there before, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim:
Emejci so v njej prebivali v preteklih časih, veliko, številno in visoko ljudstvo, kakor Anákovci,
11 these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
ki so bili tudi prišteti med velikane, kakor Anákovci, toda Moábci so jih imenovali Emejci.
12 The Horites also lived in Seir before, but the descendants of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which YHWH gave to them.)
Tudi Horéjci so poprej prebivali v Seírju, toda Ezavovi otroci so jih pregnali, ko so jih uničili pred seboj in prebivali namesto njih, kakor je Izrael storil v deželi njihove posesti, ki jim jo je dal Gospod.
13 "Now rise up, and cross over the Wadi Zered." So we went over the Wadi Zered.
›Sedaj se vzdignite, ‹ sem rekel ›in se odpravite čez potok Zered.‹ In šli smo preko potoka Zered.
14 The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we had come over the Wadi Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as YHWH swore to them.
Časa, v katerem smo prišli iz Kadeš Barnée, dokler nismo prešli preko potoka Zered, je bilo osemintrideset let, dokler ni pomrl ves rod bojevnikov izmed vojske, kakor jim je prisegel Gospod.
15 Moreover the hand of God was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
Kajti zares je bila Gospodova roka zoper njih, da jih uniči izmed vojske, dokler niso bili použiti.
16 So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
Tako se je pripetilo, ko so bili vsi bojevniki izmed ljudstva použiti in mrtvi,
17 that YHWH spoke to me, saying,
da mi je Gospod spregovoril, rekoč:
18 "You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:
›Danes boš prešel skozi Ar, moábsko pokrajino
19 and when you come near over against the people of Ammon, do not bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the people of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the people of Lot for a possession."
in ko prideš blizu, nasproti Amónovih otrok, jih ne spravi v tegobo niti se ne vmešavaj vanje, kajti od dežele Amónovih otrok ti ne bom dal nobene posesti, ker sem jo dal Lotovim otrokom za posest.‹
20 (That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim lived in it before; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
(Tudi ta je bila šteta [za] deželo velikanov. Tam so v starih časih prebivali velikani. Amónci so jih imenovali Zamzuméjce,
21 a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but YHWH destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place;
veliko, številno in visoko ljudstvo, kakor Anákovci. Toda Gospod jih je uničil pred njimi in oni so jih nasledili in prebivali namesto njih,
22 as he did for the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place even to this day:
kakor je storil Ezavovim otrokom, ki so prebivali v Seírju, ko je pred njimi uničil Horéjce. Le-ti so jih nasledili in celo do tega dne prebivali namesto njih.
23 and the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and lived in their place.)
Avéjce, ki so prebivali v Haserimu, celó do Gaze, so Kaftorejci, ki so izšli iz Kaftorja, uničili in prebivali namesto njih.)
24 "Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the Valley of the Arnon: look, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
›Dvignite se, pojdite na potovanje in prečkajte reko Arnón. Glej, v tvojo roko sem izročil Amoréjca Sihóna, kralja v Hešbónu in njegovo deželo. Začnite jo jemati v last in se z njim spoprimite v bitki.
25 This day will I begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you."
Danes bom začel pred teboj spuščati grozo in strah nad narode, ki so pod celotnim nebom, ki bodo slišali poročilo o tebi in bodo trepetali in bodo zaradi tebe v tesnobi.‹
26 I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
In odposlal sem poslance iz divjine Kedemót k Sihónu, kralju v Hešbónu, z besedami miru, rekoč:
27 "Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
›Naj grem skozi tvojo deželo. Šel bom vzdolž visoke poti, ne bom se obrnil niti k desni roki niti k levi.
28 You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only let me pass through on my feet,
Hrano mi boš prodajal za denar, da bom lahko jedel in vodo mi [boš] dajal za denar, da bom lahko pil, samo na svojih stopalih bom šel skozi
29 as the people of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me; until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which YHWH our God gives us."
(kakor so mi storili Ezavovi otroci, ki prebivajo v Seírju in Moábci, ki prebivajo v Aru), dokler ne bom šel čez Jordan v deželo, ki nam jo daje Gospod, naš Bog.‹
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for YHWH your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.
Toda Sihón, kralj v Hešbónu, nam ni dovolil iti mimo njega, kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je zakrknil njegovega duha in njegovo srce naredil trdovratno, da bi ga lahko izročil v tvojo roko, kakor se kaže ta dan.
31 YHWH said to me, "Look, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land."
Gospod mi je rekel: ›Glej, pred teboj sem ti začel dajati Sihóna in njegovo deželo. Začni jo jemati v last, da boš lahko podedoval njegovo deželo.‹
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
Potem je zoper nas prišel ven Sihón, on in njegovo ljudstvo, da se borijo pri Jahacu.
33 YHWH our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.
Gospod, naš Bog, ga je pred nami izročil in udarili smo njega, njegove sinove in vse njegovo ljudstvo.
34 We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining:
Ob tistem času smo zavzeli vsa njegova mesta in popolnoma uničili moške, ženske in malčke iz vsakega mesta. Nobenega nismo pustili ostati.
35 only the livestock we took for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
Samo živino smo si vzeli za plen in ukradeno blago mest, ki smo jih zavzeli.
36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us; YHWH our God delivered up all before us:
Od Aroêrja, ki je pri bregu reke Arnón in od mesta, ki je pri reki, celo do Gileáda, tam ni bilo niti enega mesta premočnega za nas. Gospod, naš Bog, jih je vsa izročil nam.
37 only to the land of the people of Ammon you did not come near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever YHWH our God forbade us.
Samo v deželo Amónovih otrok nisi prišel niti v noben kraj reke Jabók niti v gorska mesta niti v katerakoli, ki nam jih je Gospod, naš Bog, prepovedal.
