Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear O ye heavens and I will speak, And let the earth hear the sayings of my mouth:
»Pazljivo prisluhni, oh ti nebo, jaz pa bom govoril in sliši, oh zemlja, besede mojih ust.
2 Let my teaching drop as the rain, Let my speech distil as the dew, —As copious rains on tender grass, As myriad drops on seeding plants.
Moj nauk bo kapljal kakor dež, moj govor bo rosil kakor rosa, kakor dežek na nežno zelišče in kakor nalivi na travo,
3 When, the name of Yahweh, I proclaim, Ascribe ye greatness unto our God: —
ker bom razglašal Gospodovo ime. Veličino pripišite našemu Bogu.
4 A Rock! faultless his work, For, all his ways, are just, A GOD of faithfulness and without perversity, Right and fair, is he!
On je Skala, njegovo delo je popolno, kajti vse njegove poti so sodba. Bog resnice in brez krivičnosti, pravičen in iskren je on.
5 They have broken faith with him to be no sons of his—their fault, —A generation twisted and crooked.
Izpridili so se, njihov madež ni madež njegovih otrok. Sprevržen in sprijen rod so.
6 Is it Yahweh, ye thus requite, O impious people and unwise? Is not, he, thy father who begat thee? He, that made thee and established thee?
Ali tako poplačate Gospodu, oh nespametno in ne-modro ljudstvo? Mar ni on tvoj oče, ki te je kupil? Mar te ni on naredil in te postavil?
7 Remember the days of age-past times, Remark the years of many generations, —Ask thy father and he will tell thee, Thine elders and they will say to thee: —
Spomnite se dni od davnine, preudarite leta mnogih rodov. Vprašajte svojega očeta in vam bo pokazal, svoje starešine in ti bodo povedali.
8 When the Most High gave inheritances unto the nations, When he spread abroad the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the peoples, According to the number of the sons of Israel.
Ko je Najvišji narodom razdelil njihovo dediščino, ko je ločil Adamove sinove, je ljudstvu postavil meje, glede na število Izraelovih otrok.
9 For, Yahweh’s portion is his people, —Jacob, his inherited possession.
Kajti Gospodov delež je njegovo ljudstvo; Jakob je žreb njegove dediščine.
10 He met him in a desert land, And in the howling waste of a wilderness, —He encompassed him watched over him, Shielded him as the pupil of his own eye.
Našel ga je v zapuščeni deželi in v opustošeni, tuleči divjini. Vodil ga je naokrog, poučeval ga je, ga varoval kakor punčico svojega očesa.
11 As, an eagle, stirreth up his nest, Over his young ones, fluttereth, Spreadeth abroad his wings, taketh one, Beareth it up on his pinions,
Kakor orlica spodbuja svoje gnezdo, frfota nad svojimi mladiči, široko razširja svoje peruti, jih jemlje in nosi na svojih perutih,
12 Yahweh alone did lead him, —And there was with him no GOD of a stranger.
tako ga je Gospod sam vodil in tam z njim ni bilo tujega boga.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the land, Caused him to eat the increase of the fields, —And gave him to suck honey out of the cliff, And oil out of the rock of flint:
Dal mu je jahati na visokih krajih zemlje, da bi lahko jedel donos od polj in storil mu je, da sesa med iz skale in olje iz kremenčeve skale,
14 Curds of kine and milk of sheep, —With fat of well-fed lambs, Yea rams bred in Bashan, and he-goats, With the white of the kernels of wheat, —And, the blood of the grape, thou didst drink as it foamed.
maslo goveda in mleko ovc, s tolščo jagnjet in ovni bašánske pasme in koze, z najbogatejšo notranjostjo zrna in pil si čisto kri grozdnih jagod.
15 Then Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: Thou wast fat, Thou wast thick, Thou wast gorged, So he forsook the GOD who made him, And treated as foolish his Rock of salvation.
Toda Ješurún se je odebelil in brcal. Postal si debel, postal si gost, pokrit si z maščobo. Potem je zapustil Boga, ki ga je naredil in preziral Skalo rešitve svoje duše.
16 They moved him to jealousy with foreign [gods], —With abominations, angered they him:
S tujimi bogovi so ga dražili do ljubosumnosti, z ogabnostmi so ga izzivali k jezi.
17 They sacrificed to mischievous demons to a No-GOD, Gods whom they knew not, —New ones lately come in, Your fathers never shuddered at them!
Žrtvovali so hudičem, ne pa Bogu, bogovom, ki jih niso poznali, novim bogovom, ki so se na novo pojavili, ki se jih vaši očetje niso bali.
18 Of the Rock who had begotten thee, thou wast unmindful, —And didst forget GOD who had given thee birth.
Nisi mislil na Skalo, ki te je spočela in pozabil si Boga, ki te je oblikoval.
19 When Yahweh saw, he derided, —Because his sons and his daughters gave provocation.
Ko je Gospod to videl, jih je zaničeval, ker so ga njegovi sinovi in njegove hčere jezili.
20 So he said: —I will hide my face from them, I will see what will be their hereafter, —For a generation given to intrigue, they are, Sons, whom there is no trusting;
Rekel je: ›Svoj obraz bom skril pred njimi. Videl bom kakšen bo njihov konec, kajti zelo kljubovalen rod so, otroci, v katerih ni vere.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with a No-GOD, They have angered me with their vanities: I, therefore, will move them to jealousy with a No-people, With an impious nation, will I anger them.
Ganili so me do ljubosumja s tem, kar ni Bog; s svojimi ničevostmi so me izzivali k jezi. Do ljubosumja jih bom ganil s tistimi, ki niso ljudstvo; k jezi jih bom izzival z nespametnim narodom.
22 For, a fire, is kindled in mine anger, And shall burn as far as hades beneath, —And consume the earth with her produce, And set ablaze the foundations of the mountains: (Sheol h7585)
Kajti v moji jezi je vžgan ogenj in gorel bo do najnižjega pekla in použil bo zemljo z njenim narastom in vžgal bo temelje gora. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will heap on them, calamities, —Mine arrows, will I spend upon them:
Nanje bom nakopičil vragolije, nanje bom poslal svoje puščice.
24 The meltings of hunger, The devourings of fever, And the dangerous pestilence, —And, the tooth of beasts, will I send among them, With the poison of crawlers of the dust:
Izčrpani bodo z lakoto in požrti z gorečo vročino in z grenkim uničenjem. Nadnje bom poslal tudi zobe zveri, s strupom kač, [ki se plazijo po] prahu.
25 Without, shall the sword bereave, In the inmost recesses, terror, —To both young man and virgin, Suckling, with man of grey hairs.
Meč zunaj in strahota znotraj bo uničila tako mladeniča kot devico, tudi dojenčka z možem sivih las.‹
26 I said, I would puff them away, I would destroy from mortals, their memory;
Rekel sem: ›Razkropil jih bom v kote in storil bom, da spomin nanje zbledi med ljudmi.
27 Were it not that the taunt of the foe, I feared, Lest their adversaries should mistake, —Lest they should say—Our own hand, is exalted, It is not Yahweh, therefore who hath wrought all this!
Mar ni bilo, da sem se bal sovražnikovega besa, da se ne bi njihovi nasprotniki čudno obnašali in da ne bi rekli: ›Naša roka je visoko in Gospod ni storil vsega tega.‹‹
28 For a nation of vanished sagacity, they are, —And there is in them no understanding.
Kajti oni so narod brez preudarnosti niti ni nobenega razumevanja v njih.
29 If they had been wise, they would have understood this, —They would have given heed to their here-after!
Oh, da bi bili modri, da bi to razumeli, da bi preudarili svoj zadnji konec!
30 Oh! how would one, have chased, a thousand! And, two, put, ten thousand to flight, —Were it not that their Rock had sold them, And, Yahweh, had abandoned them;
Kako naj jih eden prežene tisoč in dva pripravita deset tisoč, da bežijo, razen, da jih je njihova Skala prodala in jih je Gospod izročil?
31 For, not like our Rock, is their rock, Our enemies themselves, being judges;
Kajti njihova skala ni kakor naša Skala, celo sami naši sovražniki so sodniki.
32 For of the vine of Sodom, is their vine, And of the vineyards of Gomorrah, —Their grapes, are grapes of gall, Clusters of bitter things, are theirs:
Kajti njihova trta je iz sódomske trte in iz gomórskih polj. Njihovo grozdje je grozdje žolča, njihovi grozdi so grenki.
33 The poison of large serpents, is their wine, —Yea the fierce venom of asps.
Njihovo vino je strup zmajev in krut strup kober.
34 Is not, that, stored up with me, —Sealed up amongst my treasures;
Mar ni to prihranjeno v shrambi z menoj in zapečateno med mojimi zakladi?
35 Unto the days of vengeance and requital: Unto the time their foot shall totter? For, near, is the day of their fate, And their destiny speedeth on.
Meni pripada maščevanje in povračilo. Njihovo stopalo bo zdrsnilo ob pravem času, kajti dan njihove katastrofe je pri roki in stvari, ki bodo prišle nadnje, hitijo.
36 For Yahweh will vindicate his people, And upon his servants, will have compassion, —When he seeth that strength is exhausted, And there is no one shut up or at large,
Kajti Gospod bo sodil svoje ljudstvo in se pokesal zaradi svojih služabnikov, ko vidi, da je njihova moč odšla in tam ni nikogar zaprtega ali preostalega.
37 Then will he say, Where are their gods, The rock in whom they have trusted;
Rekel bo: ›Kje so njihovi bogovi, njihova skala, v katero so zaupali,
38 Who used to eat the fat of their sacrifices, To drink the wine of their libations? Let them rise up and help you, Let them be over you for a coveting!
ki so jedli tolščo svojih klavnih daritev in pili vino svojih pitnih daritev? Naj vstanejo in vam pomagajo in bodo vaša zaščita.
39 See, now, that, I, I, am, he that is, And there are no gods with me, —I, kill—and make alive, I wound and, I, heal, And there is none who, from my hand, can deliver,
Poglej sedaj, da sem jaz, celó jaz sam in tukaj ni boga z menoj. Jaz ubijam in jaz oživljam; jaz ranim in jaz ozdravljam. Niti tam ni nobenega, ki lahko osvobodi iz moje roke.
40 For I lift up unto the heavens my hand, —And say, Living am, I, unto times age-abiding:
Kajti svojo roko dvignem do neba in rečem: ›Jaz živim na veke.‹
41 If I whet my flashing sword, And my hand take hold on justice, I will return vengeance unto mine adversaries, And them who hate me, will I requite:
Če nabrusim svoj lesketajoči meč in moja roka zgrabi sodbo, bom povrnil maščevanje svojim sovražnikom in nagradil tiste, ki me sovražijo.
42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, And, my sword, shall devour flesh, —With the blood of the slain and the captive, With the flesh of the chief leader of the foe.
Svoje puščice bom opijanil s krvjo in moj meč bo žrl meso in to s krvjo umorjenih in ujetnikov, od začetka maščevanj nad sovražnikom.‹
43 Shout for joy O ye nations [with] his people, For the blood of his servants, he avengeth, —And, vengeance, he returneth unto his adversaries, And is propitious unto the soil of his people.
Veselite se, oh vi narodi, z njegovim ljudstvom, kajti maščeval bo kri svojih služabnikov in povrnil bo maščevanje svojim nasprotnikom in usmiljen bo do svoje dežele in do svojega ljudstva.«
44 So Moses came in and spake all the words of this Song in the hearing of the people, —he and Hoshea son of Nun.
Mojzes je prišel in vse besede te pesmi spregovoril v ušesa ljudstva, on in Nunov sin Hošéa.
45 And, when Moses made an end of speaking all these words unto all Israel,
Mojzes je končal govorjenje vseh teh besed vsemu Izraelu.
46 he said unto them—Apply your hearts unto all the words which I am witnessing against you, to-day, —how that ye must command your sons to observe to do all the words of this law;
Rekel jim je: »Nastavite svoja srca k vsem besedam, ki jih ta dan pričujem med vami, ki jih boste zapovedali svojim otrokom, da jih obeležujejo, da jih storijo, vse besede te postave.
47 for it is not, too small a thing, for you, for, it, is your life, —and, hereby, shall ye prolong your days upon the soil whereunto ye are, passing over the Jordan to possess it.
Kajti to za vas ni prazna stvar, ker to je vaše življenje in zaradi te stvari boste podaljšali svoje dni v deželi, kamor greste čez Jordan, da jo vzamete v last.«
48 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, on this selfsame day, saying:
Gospod je ta isti dan spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
49 Get thee up into this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, which is over against Jericho—and behold the land of Canaan which I am giving unto the sons of Israel, for a possession;
»Povzpni se na to gorovje Abarím, na goro Nebó, ki je v deželi Moáb, ki je nasproti Jerihe in poglej kánaansko deželo, ki jo dajem Izraelovim otrokom v posest.
50 and die thou in the mount whither thou art going up, and be withdrawn unto thy kinsfolk, —as Aaron thy brother died in Mount Hor, and was withdrawn unto his kinsfolk;
Umri na gori, kamor se povzpneš in bodi zbran k svojemu ljudstvu, kakor je tvoj brat Aron umrl na gori Hor in je bil zbran k svojemu ljudstvu,
51 for that ye acted unfaithfully against me in the midst of the sons of Israel, regarding the waters of Meribah-Kadesh in the desert of Zin, —for that ye hallowed me not in the midst of the sons of Israel.
ker sta grešila zoper mene med Izraelovimi otroki pri vodah Meríba [v] Kadešu, v Cinski divjini, ker me nista izkazala svetega v sredi Izraelovih otrok.
52 Yet, over against thee, shalt thou behold the land, —but thereinto, shalt thou not enter, into the land which I am giving unto the sons of Israel.
Vendar boš deželo videl pred seboj, toda ne boš šel tja, v deželo, ki sem jo dal Izraelovim otrokom.«
