< 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.
Potom se vratismo, i idosmo u pustinju k Crvenome Moru, kao što mi zapovjedi Gospod, i obilazismo goru Sir dugo vremena.
2 Then Yahweh said to me,
I reèe mi Gospod:
3 ‘You have been wandering around this hilly area for a long enough time. Now turn [and travel] toward the north.
Dosta ste obilazili tu goru, obrnite se na sjever.
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 zapovjedi narodu i reci: sada æete prijeæi preko meðe braæe svoje, sinova Isavovih, koji žive u Siru; i oni æe vas se bojati, ali se i vi dobro èuvajte.
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.
Nemojte zametati boja s njima, jer vam neæu dati zemlje njihove ni stope, jer sam dao Isavu goru Sir u našljedstvo.
6 [When you travel near their land], buy food and water from them.’
Jela kupujte od njih za novce, i jedite; i vodu kupujte od njih za novce, i pijte.
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].
Jer te je Gospod Bog tvoj blagoslovio u svakom poslu ruku tvojih; i zna put tvoj po ovoj velikoj pustinji, i ovo èetrdeset godina bijaše s tobom Gospod Bog tvoj, 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.
I proðosmo braæu svoju, sinove Isavove, koji žive u Siru, poljem od Elata i od Gesion-Gavera; i odande savivši udarismo preko pustinje Moavske.
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].’”
I Gospod mi reèe: nemoj pakostiti Moavcima ni zametati boja s njima, jer ti neæu dati zemlje njihove u našljedstvo; jer dadoh sinovima Lotovijem u našljedstvo Ar.
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.
Preðe življahu ondje Emeji, narod velik i jak i visok kao Enakimi;
11 They and the descendants of Anak are also called the Repha giants, but the people of Moab call them Emim.
O njima se mislilo da su divovi kao i Enakimi; ali ih Moavci zvahu Emeji.
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.
I Horeji življahu preðe u Siru, ali ih sinovi Isavovi istjeraše i istrijebiše ispred sebe i naseliše se na njihovo mjesto, kao što uèini Izrailj u zemlji svojega našljedstva, koje mu dade Gospod.)
13 [I also said to the Israeli people], “Then we crossed the Zered Gorge, as Yahweh told us to do.
A sada ustanite i prijeðite preko potoka Zareda. I prijeðosmo preko potoka Zareda.
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.
A vremena za koje idosmo od Kadis-Varnije pa dokle prijeðosmo preko potoka Zareda, bješe trideset i osam godina, dokle ne izumrije u okolu sav onaj naraštaj, ljudi za vojsku, kao što im se bješe zakleo Gospod.
15 They died because Yahweh opposed them, until he had gotten rid of all of them.
Jer i ruka Gospodnja bijaše protivu njih potiruæi ih iz okola dokle ne pomriješe.
16 After all the men who had been old enough to fight in wars had died [DOU],
I kad svi ti ljudi za vojsku pomriješe u narodu,
17 Yahweh said to me,
Reèe mi Gospod govoreæi:
18 ‘Today you all must cross the border into the Moab region, near Ar, [their capital city].
Ti æeš danas prijeæi preko meðe Moavske kod Ara;
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.’”
I doæi æeš blizu sinova Amonovijeh; nemoj im pakostiti ni zametati boja sa njima, jer ti neæu dati zemlje Amonske u našljedstvo, jer je dadoh sinovima Lotovim u našljedstvo.
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 za nju se mislilo da je zemlja divovska; u njoj preðe življahu divovi, koje Amonci zvahu Zamzumi.
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.
Bijahu narod velik i jak i visok kao Enakimi; ali ih istrijebi Gospod ispred njih, te oni preuzeše zemlju njihovu i naseliše se na njihovo mjesto;
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.
Kao što uèini sinovima Isavovijem, koji življahu u Siru, jer istrijebi Horeje ispred njih, i preuzeše zemlju njihovu i ostaše na njihovu mjestu do danas.
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 Aveje, koji življahu u Asirotu pa do Gaze, istrijebiše Kaftoreji, koji izaðoše od Kaftora, i naseliše se 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.
Ustanite, idite i prijeðite preko potoka Arnona; gle, dao sam ti u ruke Siona Amorejina cara Esevonskoga i zemlju njegovu; poèni uzimati našljedstvo, i zavojšti na nj.
25 Today I will begin to cause everyone, everywhere, to be afraid of you. Everyone who hears about you will tremble and be terrified.’
Danas poèinjem zadavati strah i trepet od tebe narodima pod cijelijem nebom; koji god èuju za te, drktaæe i prepadaæe se od tebe.
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:
I poslah poslanike iz pustinje Kedamota k Sionu caru Esevonskom s mirnijem rijeèima govoreæi:
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.
Da prijeðem preko tvoje zemlje; upravo æu putem iæi, neæu svrtati ni nadesno ni nalijevo.
28 We will pay for any food or water that you allow us to buy. We want only to walk through your country,
Hranu da mi daješ za novce da jedem, i vodu za novce da mi daješ da pijem, samo da proðem pješice,
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.’
Kao što mi uèiniše sinovi Isavovi koji žive u Siru, i Moavci, koji žive u Aru, dokle ne prijeðem preko Jordana u zemlju koju nam daje Gospod Bog naš.
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 ne htje Sion car Esevonski pustiti da proðemo kroz njegovu zemlju, jer Gospod Bog tvoj uèini te otvrdnu duh njegov i srce njegovo posta uporno, da bi ga predao u tvoje ruke, kao što se vidi 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!’
I reèe mi Gospod: gledaj, poèeh predavati tebi Siona i zemlju njegovu; poèni uzimati zemlju njegovu da je naslijediš.
32 Then Sihon came out [of the city] with all his army to fight against us at Jahaz [town].
I izide pred nas Sion i sav narod njegov na boj u Jasu.
33 But God enabled us to defeat [DOU] them, and we killed Sihon and his sons and all his soldiers.
I dade nam ga Gospod Bog naš, i ubismo ga sa sinovima njegovijem i svijem narodom njegovijem.
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.
I uzesmo tada sve gradove njegove, i pobismo ljude po svijem tijem gradovima, i žene i djecu, ne ostavismo živa nijednoga.
35 We took the valuable things that were in the cities that we captured and also their cattle.
Samo stoku zaplijenismo za se i plijen što bješe po gradovima koje uzesmo.
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 Aroira koji je na potoku Arnonu, i od grada koji je u dolini, pa do Galada ne bješe grada koji bi nam odolio: sve to dade nam Gospod Bog naš.
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.”
Samo k zemlji sinova Amonovih nisi pristupio niti ka kojemu kraju na potoku Javoku, ni ka gradovima u gori niti kojemu mjestu što je zabranio Gospod Bog naš.
