Deuteronomy 1
1 In this book is written what Moses/I said to the Israeli people. He/I told them these things when they/we were in the desert, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. They/We had set up our tents near [a place named] Suph, between Paran [town on the one side of the river] and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab [towns on the other side of the river].
Ovo su rijeèi koje govori Mojsije svemu Izrailju s onu stranu Jordana, u pustinji, u polju prema Crvenome Moru, izmeðu Farana i Tofola i Lovona i Asirota i Dizava,
2 To walk from Sinai [Mountain] to the Kadesh-Barnea [oasis], people usually travel for only eleven days, going by way of the hilly area named Edom.
Jedanaest dana hoda od Horiva preko gore Sira do Kadis-Varnije.
3 Forty years after (the Israelis/we) left Egypt, in the middle of January, Moses/I told the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me to tell them.
A bješe èetrdesete godine prvi dan jedanaestoga mjeseca, kad Mojsije kaza sinovima Izrailjevijem sve što mu bješe zapovjedio Gospod da im kaže,
4 This was after they/we had defeated Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king of the Bashan [region] who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei [towns].
Pošto ubi Siona cara Amorejskoga koji življaše u Esevonu, i Oga cara Vasanskoga koji življaše u Astarotu i u Edrainu.
5 Moses/I told them these things while the people were in the Moab region, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. He/I (explained to them/enabled them to understand) God’s laws. This is what he/I said to them:
S onu stranu Jordana u zemlji Moavskoj poèe Mojsije kazivati ovaj zakon govoreæi:
6 “Yahweh our God said to us when we were at Sinai [Mountain], ‘You have stayed for a very long time at [the bottom of] this mountain.
Gospod Bog naš reèe nam na Horivu govoreæi: dosta ste bili na ovoj gori.
7 So now continue traveling. Go to the hilly area where the Amor people-group lives and to the nearby areas—to the Jordan [River] Valley, to the hilly region, to the western (foothills/hills at the bottom of the mountains), to the desert area to the south, to the [Mediterranean] Seacoast, to all of Canaan land, to the Lebanon [Mountains], and [northeast] to the great Euphrates River.
Obrnite se i podignite se i idite ka gori Amorejskoj i u svu okolinu njezinu, u ravnice i u brda i u doline, i na jug i na bregove morske, u zemlju Hanansku i na Livan i do rijeke velike, rijeke Efrata.
8 Note that I will give that land to you. I, Yahweh, promised to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that I would give it to them and to their descendants. So now go and occupy it.’”
Eto, dao sam vam zemlju, uðite u nju, i uzmite zemlju, za koju se zakleo Gospod ocima vašim, Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu, da æe im je dati i sjemenu njihovu nakon njih.
9 Moses/I also said to the people, “When [we were still at Sinai Mountain], I told your ancestors ‘It is a very big burden/responsibility for me to govern all of you. So I cannot do it by myself.
I rekoh vam onda govoreæi: ne mogu vas nositi sam.
10 Yahweh our God has caused us Israelis to now become as numerous as the stars in the sky.
Gospod Bog vaš umnožio vas je, i eto vas danas ima mnogo kao zvijezda nebeskih.
11 And I hope/desire that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], will cause us to become 1,000 times as numerous as we are now and that he will bless us just like he promised to do.
Gospod Bog otaca vaših da vas umnoži još tisuæu puta više, i da vas blagoslovi kao što vam je kazao.
12 But I certainly cannot [RHQ] (solve/deal with) all of your complaints/problems.
Kako bih ja sam nosio muke vaše, bremena vaša i raspre vaše?
13 So choose some men from your tribes who are wise and who have good sense and who are respected. Then I will appoint them to be your leaders.’
Dajte iz plemena svojih ljude mudre i vješte i poznate da vam ih postavim za starješine.
14 Your ancestors replied, ‘What you have suggested is good for us to do.’
Tada mi odgovoriste i rekoste: dobro je da se uèini što si kazao.
15 So I took the wise and respected men [that your ancestors chose] from your tribes, and I appointed them to be your leaders. I appointed some to (rule/have authority) over 1,000 people, some to have authority over 100 people, some to have authority over 50 people, and some to have authority over ten people. I also appointed other officers from throughout your tribes.
Tada uzevši starješine od plemena vaših, ljude mudre i poznate, postavih vam ih za starješine, za tisuænike i stotinare i pedesetare i desetare i upravitelje po plemenima vašim.
16 I instructed/told your leaders, ‘Listen to the disputes that occur among your people. Judge each dispute, including disputes between close relatives and quarrels between your people and people from other countries who live among you.
I zapovjedih onda sudijama vašim govoreæi: saslušavajte raspre meðu braæom svojom i sudite pravo izmeðu èovjeka i brata njegova i izmeðu došljaka koji je s njim.
17 You must (be impartial/not favor one person more than another); you must treat poor people and important people equally. You must not worry about what anyone will think [about how you decide matters], because you will decide matters as God [wants you to]. If any quarrel/dispute is very difficult and you are unable to decide it, bring it to me, and I will decide.’
Ne gledajte ko je ko na sudu, saslušajte i maloga i velikoga, ne bojte se nikoga, jer je sud Božji, a stvar koja bi vam bila teška iznesite preda me da je èujem.
18 At that time I also told you other things that you should do.”
I zapovjedih vam onda sve što æete èiniti.
19 “Then, just like Yahweh our God commanded us, we left Sinai [Mountain] and went through that huge desert that was very (dangerous/difficult to travel through), on the road to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. We arrived at Kadesh-Barnea.
Potom otišavši od Horiva prijeðosmo svu onu pustinju veliku i strašnu, koju vidjeste, iduæi ka gori Amorejskoj, kao što nam zapovjedi Gospod Bog naš, i doðosmo do Kadis-Varnije.
20 I said to your ancestors, ‘We have now come to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. This is part of the area that Yahweh our God, the one whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to us.
Tada vam rekoh: doðoste do gore Amorejske, koju nam daje Gospod Bog naš.
21 Note that Yahweh our God is giving this land to us. So go and occupy it as he commanded. Do not be (at all/even a little bit) afraid.’
Gle, dao ti je Gospod Bog tvoj tu zemlju, idi i uzmi je, kao što ti je rekao Gospod Bog otaca tvojih; ne boj se, i ne plaši se.
22 But all of your ancestors came to me and said, ‘Before we go, we should [first] send some men there to explore the land, in order that they can return and tell us which will be the best road to go there and what kind of towns are there.’
A vi svi doðoste k meni i rekoste: da pošljemo ljude pred sobom da nam uhode zemlju, i da nam jave za put kojim æemo iæi i za gradove u koje æemo doæi,
23 I thought that it would be good to do that, so I chose twelve men, one man from each tribe.
I to mi bi po volji, i uzeh izmeðu vas dvanaest ljudi, iz svakoga plemena po jednoga;
24 They went up into the hilly area as far as Eshcol Valley, and they explored all that area.
I oni se podigoše i izašavši na goru doðoše do potoka Eshola, i uhodiše zemlju;
25 They picked some of the fruit that they found there and brought it to us. They reported that the land that Yahweh our God was giving to us is very good/fertile.”
I nabraše roda one zemlje i donesoše nam, i javiše nam govoreæi: dobra je zemlja, koju nam daje Gospod Bog naš.
26 “But your ancestors refused to go [and conquer that land]. They rebelled against what Yahweh our God had commanded them to do, and they would not go into that land.
Ali ne htjeste iæi nego se suprotiste zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega.
27 Your ancestors [stayed] in their tents and complained saying ‘Yahweh hates us. So he has brought us here from Egypt just to allow the Amor people-group to destroy us.
I vikaste u šatorima svojim govoreæi: mrzi na nas Gospod, zato nas izvede iz zemlje Misirske, da nas da u ruke Amorejcima i da nas potre.
28 (Why should we go there?/We do not want to go there.) [RHQ] The men whom we sent there have caused us to become very discouraged/afraid. They have told us that the people there are much stronger and taller than we are and that there are extremely high [HYP] walls around their towns. Also they reported that they saw [giants there that are] descendants of Anak.’
Kuda da idemo? braæa naša uplašiše srce naše govoreæi: narod je veæi i viši od nas, gradovi su veliki i ograðeni do neba, pa i sinove Enakove vidjesmo ondje.
29 Then I said to your ancestors, ‘Do not be afraid (at all/even a little bit) [DOU] of those people!
A ja vam rekoh: ne plašite se i ne bojte ih se.
30 Yahweh our God will go ahead of you, and he will fight for you, just like you saw him do for you in Egypt
Gospod Bog vaš, koji ide pred vama, on æe se biti za vas onako kako vam je uèinio u Misiru na vaše oèi,
31 and in the desert. You saw how he brought you safely here, like a man would carry his son. [SIM]’
I u pustinji, gdje si vidio kako te je nosio Gospod Bog tvoj, kao što èovjek nosi sina svojega, cijelijem putem kojim ste išli dokle doðoste do ovoga mjesta.
32 [I reminded them that] he always went ahead of them while they traveled [in the desert]. He directed them by [a pillar of] fire during the night and a [pillar of] cloud during the day. He showed them places to set up their tents. But in spite of what I said, your ancestors would not trust Yahweh our God.
Ali zato opet ne vjerovaste Gospodu Bogu svojemu,
Koji iðaše pred vama putem tražeæi vam mjesto gdje biste stali, iðaše noæu u ognju da vam svijetli putem kojim biste išli, a danju u oblaku.
34 Yahweh heard what they said, and he became angry. He solemnly declared,
I èu Gospod glas rijeèi vaših, i razgnjevi se i zakle se govoreæi:
35 ‘Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, will enter the land. He has obeyed me completely. So I will give to him and to his descendants [some of] the land that he explored. He is the only one of all you people who will enter that land. None of these evil people will ever see that good land which I solemnly promised to give to your ancestors.’
Nijedan od ovoga roda zloga neæe vidjeti ove dobre zemlje, za koju se zakleh da æu dati vašim ocima,
Osim Haleva sina Jefonijina; on æe je vidjeti, i njemu æu dati zemlju po kojoj je išao, i sinovima njegovijem, jer se sasvijem držao Gospoda.
37 But because of [what] your ancestors [did], Yahweh was also angry with me. He said to me, ‘You also will not enter that land.
Pa i na mene se razgnjevi Gospod s vas; i reèe: ni ti neæeš uæi onamo.
38 Joshua, the son of Nun, who is your helper, will enter it. Encourage him, because he is the one who will enable you Israeli people to occupy that land.’
Isus sin Navin, koji te služi, on æe uæi onamo, njega utvrdi; jer æe je on razdijeliti sinovima Izrailjevijem u našljedstvo.
39 Then Yahweh said to all of us, ‘You said that your children would be captured by your enemies. Because they are very young, they do not yet know what is good and what is evil. But they are the ones to whom I will give that land, and they will enter it and occupy it.
A djeca vaša, za koju rekoste da æe postati roblje, sinovi vaši, koji danas ne znaju ni šta je dobro ni šta je zlo, oni æe uæi onamo, i njima æu je dati i oni æe je naslijediti.
40 But as for you, turn around and go back into the desert, toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba).’
Vi pak vratite se i idite u pustinju k Crvenome Moru.
41 Then your ancestors replied, ‘We have sinned; we have disobeyed Yahweh. So we will go and attack [the people who live in] that land, just like Yahweh our God commanded us to do.’ And each of their men put on his weapons, and they thought that it would be easy to invade the hilly region.
A vi odgovoriste i rekoste mi: sagriješismo Gospodu; iæi æemo i biæemo se sasvijem kako nam je zapovjedio Gospod Bog naš. I uzevši svaki svoje oružje htjeste izaæi na goru.
42 But Yahweh said to me, ‘Tell them, “Do not go up there and attack those people, because I will not go with you. If you go, your enemies will defeat you.”’
A Gospod mi reèe: kaži im: ne idite i ne bijte se, jer nijesam meðu vama, da ne izginete pred neprijateljima svojim.
43 So I told that to your ancestors, but they would not heed what I said. They [again] rebelled against what Yahweh commanded them to do. Their soldiers proudly/arrogantly marched up into that hilly region.
I ja vam rekoh; ali ne poslušaste, nego se oprijeste zapovijesti Gospodnjoj, i navaliste na goru.
44 Then the men of the Amor people-group who lived in that region came out [of their towns] and attacked those soldiers. They pursued your ancestors’ soldiers like [a swarm of] bees pursues people, and they pursued them [south] from the Edom area and defeated them at Hormah [city].
Tada izidoše pred vas Amoreji, koji sjeðahu u onoj planini, i pognaše vas kao što èine pèele, i pobiše vas na Siru pa do Orme.
45 So your ancestors went back [to Kadesh-Barnea] and cried out to request Yahweh [to help them], but he did not heed them. He did not pay any attention to them [DOU].
I vrativši se plakaste pred Gospodom, ali Gospod ne posluša glasa vašega niti okrete uha svojega k vama.
46 So we stayed there at Kadesh-Barnea for a long time.”
I ostadoste u Kadisu dugo vremena dokle ondje stajaste.
