Deuteronomy 2
1 “Then we turned around and went through the desert toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba), as Yahweh told us to do, and we wandered in the Edom area for many years.
Onda se okrenusmo i pođosmo u pustinju prema Crvenome moru, kako mi je Jahve naredio. Dugo smo se vrtjeli oko gore Seira.
2 Then Yahweh said to me,
I reče mi Jahve:
3 ‘You have been wandering around this hilly area for a long enough time. Now turn [and travel] toward the north.
'Dosta ste se vrtjeli oko ovoga brda. Okrenite prema sjeveru!'
4 And tell the people that they are about to travel near the land that belongs to the descendants of Esau, who are also descendants of Isaac. They live in the [hilly] Edom region. They will be afraid of you,
I narodu naloži ovako: 'Sad ćete proći preko područja svoje braće, potomaka Ezavovih, koji žive u Seiru. Oni se vas boje, ali vi dobro pripazite;
5 but do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you even a tiny bit [HYP] of their land. I have given that land to the descendants of Esau.
s njima ne zamećite boja jer vam neću dati ni stope njihove zemlje: goru Seir predao sam Ezavu u vlasništvo.
6 [When you travel near their land], buy food and water from them.’
Hranu od njih kupujte za novac da imate što jesti; i vodu za piće kupujte od njih za novac.'
7 Do not forget that Yahweh our God has blessed you in everything that you [SYN] have done. He knows [what has happened to you while] you have wandered in this huge desert. But he has been with you during those 40 years, and as a result you have had everything that you needed [LIT].
Ta Jahve te, Bog tvoj, blagoslovio u svim djelima tvojih ruku; on je bdio nad tvojim putovanjem onom velikom pustinjom; ovih četrdeset godina Jahve, Bog tvoj, bijaše s tobom i ništa ti nije nedostajalo.
8 So we continued to travel. We avoided going through the hilly area where the descendants of Esau live. We stayed away from the road through the Jordan [River] Valley past Ezion-Geber and Elath [towns], and we turned and traveled northeast toward the desert area where the Moab people-group lives.
Tako smo svoju braću, potomke Ezavove što žive u Seiru, zaobišli putem što vodi u Arabu, Elat i Esjon Geber, a onda udarismo prema Moapskoj pustinji.
9 Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not bother/harass the people of Moab, and do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you any of their land. [Do not forget that] they are descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot, and I have given to them Ar [city, their capital, and the other areas in that country].’”
Tada mi zapovjedi Jahve: 'Nemoj uznemirivati Moapce niti s njima zameći boja, jer ništa od njihove zemlje neću dati u tvoje vlasništvo: Lotovim sinovima predao sam Ar u posjed.'
10 A large group of giants called Emim formerly lived there. They were strong and numerous, and as tall as the giants who were descendants of Anak.
Prije su ondje živjeli Emijci. Bio je to moćan narod i brojan; krupna stasa kao i Anakovci.
11 They and the descendants of Anak are also called the Repha giants, but the people of Moab call them Emim.
Poput Anakovaca, i njih smatraju Refaimcima, ali ih Moapci nazivaju Emijcima.
12 The Hor people-group also formerly lived in the Edom area, but the descendants of Esau chased them out. They defeated and killed them and (settled in/occupied) their land, just as the Israeli people later expelled their enemies from the land that Yahweh gave to them.
Isto su tako u Seiru živjeli prije Horijci, ali su ih Ezavovi potomci izvlastili, istrijebili ih i naselili se na njihovo, kako je, uostalom, učinio Izrael sa zemljom - baštinom svojom - koju mu je Jahve predao.
13 [I also said to the Israeli people], “Then we crossed the Zered Gorge, as Yahweh told us to do.
'A sada ustanite i prijeđite preko potoka Zereda!' I prijeđosmo potok Zered.
14 It had been thirty-eight years from the time we first left Kadesh-Barnea until we crossed the Zered Gorge. During those years, all the Israeli (fighting men/soldiers) of that generation had died, as Yahweh had vowed would happen.
Vrijeme što smo išli od Kadeš Barnee pa dok smo prešli preko potoka Zereda iznosilo je trideset i osam godina - sve dok nije izumro iz tabora sav onaj naraštaj ljudi sposobnih za borbu, kako im se Jahve i zakleo.
15 They died because Yahweh opposed them, until he had gotten rid of all of them.
I zbilja! Ruka Jahvina bila je protiv njih: istrebljivala ih je isred tabora dok ih nije nestalo.
16 After all the men who had been old enough to fight in wars had died [DOU],
I tako, kad je smrt istrijebila iz naroda sve ljude sposobne za borbu,
17 Yahweh said to me,
reče mi Jahve:
18 ‘Today you all must cross the border into the Moab region, near Ar, [their capital city].
'Danas prelaziš moapsku zemlju Ar.
19 When you come near the border of the land where the Ammon people-group live, do not bother/harass them or start to fight against them. They are also descendants of Lot, so I am not going to give you any of the land that I have given to them.’”
A onda ćeš se približiti Amoncima. Nemoj ih uznemirivati niti s njima zameći boja. Ništa, naime, od zemlje Amonaca neću ustupiti tebi u vlasništvo jer sam je već predao u posjed Lotovim potomcima.'
20 That region is also called the land of the Repha giants, who formerly lived there. The Ammon people-group call them the Zamzum group.
I nju smatraju refaimskom zemljom. U njoj su prije živjeli Refaimci, koje Amonci zovu Zamzumijcima.
21 They were a large and powerful group, who were as tall as the descendants of Anak. But Yahweh got rid of them, and the Ammon people-group expelled them and took their land away from them and started to live there.
Bio je to narod moćan i brojan; krupna stasa kao i Anakovci. No Jahve ih uništi pred Amoncima - koji ih izvlastiše i naseliše se na njihovo,
22 Yahweh had done the same thing for the descendants of Esau who live in the hilly area of Edom. He got rid of the Hor people-group, with the result that the Edom people-group took their land from them and started to live there. They still live there.
kako je, uostalom, učinio i potomcima Ezavovim, koji su nastanjeni u Seiru, kad je pred njima uništio Horijce, koje su oni otjerali s posjeda i do danas žive na njihovim mjestima.
23 People who came from Crete [Island] got rid of the Av group [who previously lived in the land close to the Mediterranean Sea], as far south as Gaza. They took their land from them and started to live there.
I Avijce, koji su živjeli po zaseocima sve do Gaze, istrijebiše Kaftorci koji su došli iz Kaftora te se naseliše na njihovo mjesto.
24 “[After we had gone through the Moab region], Yahweh said to us, ‘Now cross the Arnon [River]. I will help you to defeat [IDM] [the army of] Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lives in Heshbon [city]. So attack their army and start to take their land from them.
'Ustajte! Na put krenite i prijeđite preko potoka Arnona. U ruke ti, eto, predajem Amorejca Sihona, kralja hešbonskoga, i njegovu zemlju. Počni s osvajanjem; izazovi ga na boj!
25 Today I will begin to cause everyone, everywhere, to be afraid of you. Everyone who hears about you will tremble and be terrified.’
Od danas počinjem ugoniti strah i trepet pred tobom u narode koji su pod svim nebesima, tako da će strepiti i tresti se pred tobom kad god čuju glas o tebi.'
26 Then I sent messengers to go from the desert to King Sihon at Heshbon. I told them to give this peaceful message to the king:
Tada sam iz pustinje Kedmot uputio glasnike kralju hešbonskom Sihonu s miroljubivim riječima:
27 ‘Please allow us to travel through your land. We [promise that we] will stay on the road; we will not turn off to the right or to the left.
'Pusti da prođem preko tvoje zemlje. Samo ću proći putem, ne skrećući ni desno ni lijevo.
28 We will pay for any food or water that you allow us to buy. We want only to walk through your country,
Hranu mi prodavaj za novac da mogu jesti; i vodu za piće davaj mi za novac. Pusti me samo da pješice prođem,
29 until we cross the Jordan [River] into the land that Yahweh our God is giving to us. Do for us just as the descendants of Esau who live in the Edom area and the Moab people-group did for us when they allowed us to go through their areas.’
da prijeđem preko Jordana u zemlju koju nam daje Jahve, Bog naš - kao što su mi dopustili potomci Ezavovi, nastanjeni u Seiru, i Moapci, što žive u Aru.'
30 But King Sihon would not allow us to go through his country. That was because Yahweh our God caused him to be stubborn [IDM]. The result was that Yahweh enabled us to defeat his army and take his land [IDM], which we still live in.
Ali hešbonski kralj Sihon ne htjede nas pustiti preko svoga; jer Jahve, Bog tvoj, duh mu zaslijepi a srce otvrdnu, da ga preda u tvoje šake, gdje je i danas.
31 Yahweh said to me, ‘Listen! I am about to allow you to defeat Sihon’s [army] and to take the people’s land from them. So start to occupy it!’
Tada mi reče Jahve: 'Eto sam počeo da ti izručujem Sihona i njegovu zemlju. Počni osvajanje da mu zemljom zagospodariš.'
32 Then Sihon came out [of the city] with all his army to fight against us at Jahaz [town].
Kod Jahasa presrete nas Sihon.
33 But God enabled us to defeat [DOU] them, and we killed Sihon and his sons and all his soldiers.
Navali on i sav njegov narod. Ali Jahve, Bog naš, predade nam ga, tako da potukosmo njega, njegove sinove i sav njegov narod.
34 We captured all their cities and destroyed them all. We killed all the men and women and children; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
Tada osvojismo sve njegove gradove i prokletstvom udarismo sve gradove s ljudima, ženama i djecom, ništa ne štedeći,
35 We took the valuable things that were in the cities that we captured and also their cattle.
izuzev stoke, koju uzesmo kao plijen, skupa s plijenom iz gradova što smo ih osvojili.
36 Yahweh our God enabled us to capture [IDM] all their towns from Aroer [in the south], which is at the edge of the Arnon River [Valley], to the Gilead [region in the north]. Some of their cities had [walls around them], but we were able to [climb over them].
Od Aroera, koji se nalazi na obali potoka Arnona, i od grada koji je u njegovoj dolini pa do Gileada nije bilo grada koji bi nam odolio: sve nam ih je Jahve, Bog naš, predao.
37 But we did not go near the area where the Ammon people-group live, or the banks of the Jabbok riverbed, or the towns in the hilly area, or any other place where Yahweh our God told us not to go.”
Jedino se nisi primicao zemlji Amonaca, kraju uz potok Jabok, i gradovima u pogorju, kako je Jahve, Bog naš, odredio.
