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 riječi što ih je Mojsije upravio svemu Izraelu s onu stranu Jordana - u pustinji, u Arabi nasuprot Sufu, između Parana i Tofela, Labana, Hazerota i Di Zahaba -
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.
od Horeba do Kadeš Barnee, Seirskom gorom, jedanaest dana hoda.
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.
Bilo je to godine četrdesete, prvog dana mjeseca jedanaestoga, kad Mojsije reče Izraelcima sve što mu je Jahve za njih naređivao.
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 je porazio amorejskoga kralja Sihona, koji je živio u Hešbonu, i bašanskoga kralja Oga, koji je živio u Aštarotu i Edreju,
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:
dakle s onu stranu Jordana, u zemlji moapskoj, poče Mojsije razlagati ovaj Zakon. Govoraše on:
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.
“Jahve, Bog naš, reče nam na Horebu: 'Dosta ste boravili na ovome brdu.
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.
Krenite na put! Idite u gorski kraj Amorejaca i svih njihovih susjeda, u Arabu, u Gorje, u Šefelu i u Negeb, na morsku obalu, u zemlju kanaansku i u Libanon, sve do Velike rijeke, rijeke Eufrata.
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, pred vas stavljam ovu zemlju. Idite, dakle, i zauzmite zemlju za koju se Jahve zakle ocima vašim, Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu, da će je dati njima i njihovu potomstvu poslije 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.
Tada sam vam rekao: 'Ne mogu vas voditi sam.
10 Yahweh our God has caused us Israelis to now become as numerous as the stars in the sky.
Jahve, Bog vaš, toliko vas je razmnožio da vas danas ima kao zvijezda na nebu.
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.
Neka vas Jahve, Bog vaših otaca, umnoži još tisuću puta! Neka vas blagoslivlja kako vam je obećao!
12 But I certainly cannot [RHQ] (solve/deal with) all of your complaints/problems.
Ali kako bih ja sam mogao nositi vaš teret, vaše breme i vaše sporove?
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.’
Izaberite stoga iz svojih plemena ljude pametne, iskusne i ugledne da vam ih postavim za poglavare.'
14 Your ancestors replied, ‘What you have suggested is good for us to do.’
Vi ste mi odgovorili: 'Dobro je što predlažeš.'
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.
Zato sam uzeo prvake iz vaših plemena, ljude pametne i ugledne, te ih postavio za poglavare: tisućnike, stotnike, pedesetnike, desetnike i vaše plemenske nadglednike.
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.
U to isto vrijeme naložio sam i vašim sucima: 'Saslušajte svoju braću; sudite pravedno između čovjeka i njegova brata ili pridošlice.
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.’
U suđenju nemojte biti pristrani; saslušavajte maloga kao i velikoga. Ne bojte se nikoga! TÓa sud je Božji! Ako vam koji slučaj bude pretežak, iznesite ga meni, da ga ja razvidim.'
18 At that time I also told you other things that you should do.”
Tako sam vam onda naložio sve što vam je činiti.
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.
Krenusmo iz Horeba i, na putu u gorske krajeve Amorejaca, kako nam je naredio Jahve, Bog naš, prijeđosmo svu onu veliku i strašnu pustinju koju ste vidjeli. Stigosmo u Kadeš Barneu.
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: 'Došli ste u gorski kraj Amorejaca, koji nam Jahve, Bog naš, daje.
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.’
Eto, Jahve, Bog tvoj, stavio je preda te tu zemlju. Ustaj! Zaposjedni je, kako ti je rekao Jahve, Bog otaca tvojih. Ne boj se! Ne strahuj!'
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.’
Svi ste onda došli k meni i rekli: 'Pošaljimo pred sobom ljude da izvide zemlju i jave nam o putu kojim ćemo ići i o gradovima u koje ćemo doći.'
23 I thought that it would be good to do that, so I chose twelve men, one man from each tribe.
Svidje mi se što rekoste. Zato uzeh dvanaest ljudi između vas, po jednoga iz svakog plemena.
24 They went up into the hilly area as far as Eshcol Valley, and they explored all that area.
Krenuli su na pogorje, stigli do Eškolske doline te izvidjeli kraj.
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 plodova one zemlje, donesoše ih k nama i javiše: 'Zemlja koju nam daje Jahve, Bog naš, dobra je.'
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 vi niste htjeli onamo; pobunili ste se protiv naredbe Jahve, Boga svoga.
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.
Rogoborili ste u svojim šatorima i govorili: 'U svojoj mržnji na nas Jahve nas je izveo iz zemlje egipatske da nas preda u ruke Amorejaca, kako bi nas posve uništili.
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.’
Kamo da idemo? Naša su braća ubila u nama srčanost kad rekoše: Narod je i veći i jači nego mi; gradovi su veliki, i zidine im sežu do nebesa. A vidjeli smo ondje i Anakovce.'
29 Then I said to your ancestors, ‘Do not be afraid (at all/even a little bit) [DOU] of those people!
'Ne bojte se!' - rekoh vam. - 'Ne plašite 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
Jahve, Bog vaš, koji ide pred vama, borit će se za vas kako je to učinio na vaše oči u Egiptu.'
31 and in the desert. You saw how he brought you safely here, like a man would carry his son. [SIM]’
A vidio si, uostalom, i u pustinji, gdje te Jahve, Bog tvoj, cijeloga puta što ste ga prevalili dok ste stigli do ovoga mjesta, nosio kao što čovjek nosi svoga sinčića.
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, unatoč tome, vi niste imali pouzdanja u Jahvu, Boga svoga,
u onoga koji je na putu išao pred vama da vam potraži mjesto za taborovanje - u ognju obnoć da vam osvijetli put kojim ćete ići, a obdan u oblaku.
34 Yahweh heard what they said, and he became angry. He solemnly declared,
Jahve ču graju vašu i zakle se u svojoj srdžbi:
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.’
'Ni jedan jedini od ovih ljudi, od ovoga opakog naraštaja, neće vidjeti ove dobre zemlje za koju sam se zakleo da ću je dati vašim ocima.
Izuzimam Kaleba, sina Jefuneova. On će je vidjeti; njemu i njegovim potomcima dat ću zemlju kojom je išao, jer je vjerno slijedio Jahvu.'
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.
Zbog vas se Jahve i na mene razljutio te mi rekao: 'Ni ti onamo nećeš ući.
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.’
Ući će onamo Jošua, sin Nunov, koji te služi. Njega ti osokoli, jer će on uvesti Izraela u posjed.
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 i vaši mališani, o kojima rekoste da će postati roblje, sinovi vaši koji još ne znaju razlikovati dobro i zlo, oni će u nju ući; njima ću je u posjed dati.
40 But as for you, turn around and go back into the desert, toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba).’
A vi se okrenite i zaputite u pustinju, prema 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.
Vi ste mi tada odgovorili riječima: 'Sagriješili smo protiv Jahve. Poći ćemo gore i boriti se kako nam je Jahve, Bog naš, zapovjedio.' Svaki od vas dohvati svoje oružje i nepromišljeno pođe gore u brda.
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.”’
Onda mi Jahve reče: 'Kaži im: Ne idite gore i ne stupajte u borbu da vas ne poraze vaši neprijatelji jer ja nisam među vama.'
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.
Tako sam vam i govorio, ali niste poslušali. Oprli ste se zapovijedi Jahvinoj i, puni drskosti, krenuli u brda.
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].
Ali Amorejci, koji žive u onome gorju, udariše na vas, pognaše vas, za vama se natisnuše kao pčele te su vas tukli od Seira do Horme.
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].
Vrativši se, plakali ste pred Jahvom, ali Jahve nije slušao vašega jauka niti je okrenuo svoga uha k vama.
46 So we stayed there at Kadesh-Barnea for a long time.”
U Kadešu vam valjade ostati dugo vremena, onoliko koliko ste već ostali.
