Deuteronomy 4

1 And now, O Israel, hearken unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them; that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, giveth you.

A sada, Izrailju, èuj uredbe i zakone, koje vas uèim da tvorite, da biste poživjeli i ušli u zemlju koju vam daje Gospod Bog otaca vaših i da biste je naslijedili.

2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Ništa ne dodajte k rijeèi koju vam ja zapovijedam, niti oduzmite od nje, da biste saèuvali zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega koje vam ja zapovijedam.

3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from the midst of thee.

Oèi su vaše vidjele šta uèini Gospod s Velfegora; jer svakoga èovjeka koji poðe za Velfegorom istrijebi Gospod Bog tvoj izmeðu tebe.

4 But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.

A vi koji se držaste Gospoda Boga svojega, vi ste svi živi danas.

5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the midst of the land whither ye go in to possess it.

Gle, uèio sam vas uredbama i zakonima, kao što mi zapovjedi Gospod Bog moj, da biste tako tvorili u zemlji u koju idete da je naslijedite.

6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

Držite dakle i izvršujte ih, jer je to mudrost vaša i razum vaš pred narodima, koji æe kad èuju sve ove uredbe reæi: samo je ovaj veliki narod narod mudar i razuman.

7 For what great nation is there, that hath a god so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is whensoever we call upon him?

Jer koji je veliki narod kojemu je Bog blizu kao što je Gospod Bog naš kad ga god zazovemo?

8 And what great nation is there, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

I koji je narod veliki koji ima uredbe i zakone pravedne kao što je sav ovaj zakon koji iznosim danas pred vas?

9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes saw, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but make them known unto thy children and thy children’s children;

Samo pazi na se i dobro èuvaj dušu svoju, da ne zaboraviš onijeh stvari koje su vidjele oèi tvoje, i da ne izidu iz srca tvojega dokle si god živ; nego da ih obznaniš sinovima svojim i sinovima sinova svojih.

10 the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto 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 upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

Onaj dan kad stajaste pred Gospodom Bogom svojim kod Horiva, kad mi Gospod reèe: saberi mi narod da im kažem rijeèi svoje, kojima æe se nauèiti da me se boje dok su živi na zemlji, i da uèe tome i sinove svoje;

11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the heart of heaven, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.

Kad pristupiste i stajaste pod gorom, a gora ognjem goraše do samoga neba i bješe na njoj tama i oblak i mrak;

12 And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of words, but ye saw no form; only [ye heard] a voice.

I progovori Gospod k vama isred ognja; glas od rijeèi èuste, ali osim glasa lika ne vidjeste;

13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

I objavi vam zavjet svoj, koji vam zapovjedi da držite, deset rijeèi, koje napisa na dvije ploèe kamene.

14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.

I meni zapovjedi onda Gospod da vas uèim uredbama i zakonima da ih tvorite u zemlji u koju idete da je naslijedite.

15 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of form on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:

Zato èuvajte dobro duše svoje; jer ne vidjeste nikakoga lika u onaj dan kad vam govori Gospod na Horivu isred ognja,

16 lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

Da se ne biste pokvarili i naèinili sebi lik rezan ili kaku god sliku od èovjeka ili od žene,

17 the likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the heaven,

Sliku od kakoga živinèeta koje je na zemlji, ili sliku od kake ptice krilate koja leti ispod neba;

18 the likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth:

Sliku od èega što puže po zemlji, ili sliku od kake ribe koja je u vodi pod zemljom;

19 and lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, thou be drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all the peoples under the whole heaven.

I da ne bi podigavši oèi svoje k nebu i vidjevši sunce i mjesec i zvijezde, svu vojsku nebesku, prevario se i klanjao im se i služio im; jer ih Gospod Bog tvoj dade svijem narodima pod cijelijem nebom;

20 But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as at this day.

A vas uze Gospod i izvede vas iz peæi gvozdene, iz Misira, da mu budete narod našljedni, kao što se vidi danas.

21 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:

Ali se Gospod razgnjevi na me za vaše rijeèi, i zakle se da neæu prijeæi preko Jordana ni uæi u dobru zemlju, koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje u našljedstvo.

22 but I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.

I ja æu umrijeti u ovoj zemlji i neæu prijeæi preko Jordana; a vi æete prijeæi i naslijediti onu dobru zemlju.

23 Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image in the form of any thing which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.

Pazite da ne zaboravite zavjeta Gospoda Boga svojega, koji uèini s vama, i da ne gradite sebi lika rezanoga, slike od koje god tvari, kao što ti je zabranio Gospod Bog tvoj.

24 For the LORD thy God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.

Jer je Gospod Bog tvoj oganj koji spaljuje i Bog koji revnuje.

25 When thou shalt beget children, and children’s children, and ye shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image in the form of any thing, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:

Kad izrodiš sinove i unuke, i ostarite u onoj zemlji, ako se pokvarite i naèinite sliku rezanu od kake tvari i uèinite što nije ugodno Gospodu Bogu vašemu, dražeæi ga,

26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

Svjedoèim vam danas nebom i zemljom da æe vas brzo nestati sa zemlje u koju idete preko Jordana da je naslijedite, neæete biti dugo u njoj, nego æete se istrijebiti.

27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the peoples, and ye shall be left few in number among the nations, whither the LORD shall lead you away.

Ili æe vas rasijati Gospod meðu narode, i malo æe vas ostati meðu narodima u koje vas odvede Gospod;

28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

I služiæete ondje bogovima koje su naèinile ruke èovjeèije, od drveta i od kamena, koji ne vide ni èuju, niti jedu ni mirišu.

29 But if from thence ye shall seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou search after him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

Ali ako i ondje potražiš Gospoda Boga svojega, naæi æeš ga, ako ga potražiš svijem srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom.

30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, in the latter days thou shalt return to the LORD thy God, and hearken unto his voice:

Kad budeš u nevolji i sve te to snaðe, ako se u pošljednje vrijeme obratiš ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu, i poslušaš glas njegov,

31 for the LORD thy God is a merciful God; he will not fail thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

Gospod je Bog tvoj milostiv Bog, neæe te ostaviti ni istrijebiti, jer neæe zaboraviti zavjeta s ocima tvojim, za koji im se zakleo.

32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been [any such thing] as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

Jer zapitaj sada za stara vremena, koja su bila prije tebe, od onoga dana kad stvori Bog èovjeka na zemlji, i od jednoga kraja neba do drugoga, je li kad bila ovaka stvar velika, i je li se kad èulo što tako?

33 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

Je li kad èuo koji narod glas Božji gdje govori isred ognja, kao što si ti èuo i ostao živ?

34 Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

Ili, je li Bog pokušao da doðe te uzme sebi narod iz drugoga naroda kušanjem, znacima i èudesima i ratom i rukom krjepkom i mišicom podignutom i strahotama velikim, kao što je uèinio sve to za vas Gospod Bog naš u Misiru na vaše oèi?

35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.

Tebi je to pokazano da poznaš da je Gospod Bog, i da nema drugoga osim njega.

36 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he made thee to see his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.

Dao ti je da èuješ glas njegov s neba da bi te nauèio, i pokazao ti je na zemlji oganj svoj veliki, i rijeèi njegove èuo si isred ognja.

37 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt;

I što mu mili bijahu oci tvoji, zato izabra sjeme njihovo nakon njih, i izvede te sam velikom silom svojom iz Misira,

38 to drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as at this day.

Da otjera ispred tebe narode veæe i jaèe od tebe, i da tebe uvede u njihovu zemlju i dade ti je u našljedstvo, kao što se vidi danas.

39 Know therefore this day, and lay it to thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

Znaj dakle i pamti u srcu svojem da je Gospod Bog, gore na nebu i dolje na zemlji, nema drugoga.

40 And thou shalt keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.

I drži uredbe njegove i zapovijesti njegove, koje ti ja danas zapovijedam, da bi dobro bilo tebi i sinovima tvojim nakon tebe, da bi ti se produljili dani na zemlji koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje zasvagda.

41 Then Moses separated three cities beyond Jordan toward the sunrising;

Tada odijeli Mojsije tri grada s ovu stranu Jordana prema istoku,

42 that the manslayer might flee thither, which slayeth his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in time past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:

Da bi utjecao u njih krvnik koji ubije bližnjega svojega nehotice ne mrzivši prije na nj, i kad uteèe u koji od tijeh gradova, da bi ostao živ:

43 [namely], Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.

Vosor u pustinji, na ravnici u zemlji plemena Ruvimova, i Ramot u Galadu u plemenu Gadovu, Golan u Vasanskoj u plemenu Manasijinu.

44 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:

Ovo je zakon koji postavi Mojsije sinovima Izrailjevijem.

45 these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt;

Ovo su svjedoèanstva i uredbe i zakoni, koje kaza Mojsije sinovima Izrailjevijem kad izidoše iz Misira,

46 beyond Jordan, in the valley over against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, when they came forth out of Egypt:

S ovu stranu Jordana u dolini prema Vet-Fegoru u zemlji Siona cara Amorejskoga, koji življaše u Esevonu, kojega ubi Mojsije i sinovi Izrailjevi kad izidoše iz Misira,

47 and they took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, which were beyond Jordan toward the sunrising;

I osvojiše zemlju njegovu i zemlju Oga cara Vasanskoga, dva cara Amorejska, koja je s ovu stranu Jordana prema istoku,

48 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of Arnon, even unto mount Sion (the same is Hermon),

Od Aroira, koji je na potoku Arnonu, do gore Siona, a to je Ermon,

49 and all the Arabah beyond Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.

I sve polje s ovu stranu Jordana prema istoku do mora uz ravnicu pod Azdot-Fazgom.
