Deuteronomy 4
1 Now, Israel, listen to the laws and the decrees that I am about to teach you, to do them; so that you may live and go in and possess the land that Yahweh, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
“A sada, Izraele, poslušaj zakone i uredbe kojima vas učim da biste ih vršili i tako poživjeli te unišli i zaposjeli zemlju koju vam daje Jahve, Bog otaca vaših.
2 You will not add to the words that I command you, neither will you diminish them, so that you may keep the commandments of Yahweh your God that I am about to command you.
Niti što nadodajite onome što vam zapovijedam niti što od toga oduzimljite; vršite zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, što vam ih dajem.
3 Your eyes have seen what Yahweh did because of Baal Peor; for all the men who followed the Baal of Peor, Yahweh your God has destroyed them from among you.
Vidjeli ste svojim očima što je Jahve učinio s Baal Peorom: jer Jahve, Bog tvoj, iskorijenio je iz tvoje sredine svakoga koji je slijedio Baal Peora.
4 But you who clung to Yahweh your God are alive today, every one of you.
A svi vi koji se čvrsto držite Jahve, Boga svoga, živi ste i danas.
5 Look, I have taught you laws and decrees, as Yahweh my God had commanded me, that you should do so in the midst of the land which you are going into in order to possess it.
Ja sam vas, eto, poučio o zakonima i uredbama, kako mi je Jahve, Bog moj, naredio da ih vršite u zemlji u koju idete da je zaposjednete.
6 Therefore keep them and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear about all these statutes and say, 'Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.'
Držite ih i vršite: to će u očima naroda biti vaša mudrost i vaša razboritost. Kad oni čuju za sve ove zakone, reći će: 'Samo je jedan narod mudar i pametan, a to je ovaj veliki narod.'
7 For what other great nation is there that has a god so near to them, as Yahweh our God is whenever we call upon him?
Jer koji je to narod tako velik da bi mu bogovi bili tako blizu kao što je Jahve, Bog naš, nama kad god ga zazovemo?
8 What other great nation is there that has laws and decrees so righteous as all this law that I am setting before you today?
Koji je to narod tako velik da bi imao zakone i uredbe pravedne kao što je sav ovaj Zakon koji vam ja danas iznosim?
9 Only pay attention and carefully guard yourself, so that you do not forget the things that your eyes have seen, so that they do not leave your heart for all the days of your life. Instead, make them known to your children and your children's children.
Zato pazi i dobro se čuvaj da ne zaboraviš događaje što si ih svojim očima vidio; neka ti ne iščeznu iz srca ni jednoga dana tvoga života; naprotiv, pouči o njima svoje sinove i sinove svojih sinova.
10 On the day that you stood before Yahweh your God at Horeb, when Yahweh said to me, 'Assemble me the people, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.'
Onog dana kad si stajao na Horebu pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, Jahve mi je rekao: 'Skupi mi narod! Hoću da čuju moje riječi, da me se nauče bojati sve vrijeme što budu živjeli na zemlji te da o njima pouče i svoju djecu.'
11 You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain. The mountain burned with fire to the heart of heaven, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.
Vi ste se onda primakli i stali pod brdo. S usplamtjeloga brda plamen je sukljao do sred neba zamračena tmastim oblakom.
12 Yahweh spoke to you out of the middle of the fire; you heard the voice with its words, but you saw no form; you only heard a voice.
Isred ognja Jahve je govorio vama; čuli ste zvuk riječi, ali lika niste nazreli - ništa osim glasa.
13 He declared to you his covenant that he commanded you to perform, the Ten Commandments. He wrote them on two tablets of stone.
Objavio vam je svoj Savez i naložio vam da ga vršite - Deset zapovijedi, što ih ispisa na dvije kamene ploče.
14 Yahweh commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, so that you might do them in the land that you are crossing over to take possession of.
A meni je Jahve naredio da vas poučim o zakonima i uredbama što ćete ih vršiti u zemlji u koju odlazite da je zaposjednete.
15 So take great heed to yourselves—for you saw no kind of form on the day that Yahweh spoke to you at Horeb out of the middle of the fire—
Pazite dobro! Onoga dana kad vam je Jahve, Bog vaš, govorio isred ognja na Horebu, niste vidjeli nikakva lika,
16 that you do not corrupt yourselves and by making a carved image in the form of any figure, in the likeness of male or female,
da se ne biste pokvarili te da ne biste pravili sebi kakva klesana lika, kipa muškoga ili ženskoga obličja,
17 the likeness of any animal on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the heavens,
ni obličja kakve životinje što je na zemlji, ni obličja kakve ptice što pod nebom lijeta,
18 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, or the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth.
ni obličja bilo čega što po zemlji gmiže, ni obličja kakve ribe što je u vodi pod zemljom
19 You shall not lift your eyes up to the heavens and look at the sun, the moon, or the stars—all the host of the heavens—and be drawn away to worship them and adore them—those things of which Yahweh your God has given a share all the peoples under the whole sky.
i da se ne bi, kad digneš svoje oči prema nebu te vidiš sunce, mjesec i zvijezde - svu nebesku vojsku - dao zavesti da im se klanjaš i da im iskazuješ štovanje. Njih je Jahve, Bog tvoj, dao svim narodima, svugdje pod nebom.
20 But Yahweh has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of his own inheritance, as you are today.
A vas je uzeo Jahve i izveo vas iz Egipta - iz one peći ražarene - da postanete narod njegove baštine, to što ste danas.
21 Yahweh was angry with me because of you; he swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go into that good land, the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you as an inheritance.
Ali se zbog vas Jahve na me razljutio i zakleo da ja neću prijeći preko Jordana i unići u blaženu zemlju koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje u baštinu.
22 Instead, I must die in this land; I must not go over the Jordan; but you will go over and possess that good land.
Tako, ja ću umrijeti u ovoj zemlji; ja preko Jordana neću prijeći. A vi ćete prijeći i zaposjesti onu krasnu zemlju.
23 Pay attention to yourselves, so that you do not forget the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he made with you, and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of anything that Yahweh your God has forbidden you to make.
Zato pazite da ne zaboravljate Saveza što ga je Jahve, Bog vaš, sklopio s vama te sebi ne pravite klesanih likova bilo čega što je Jahve, Bog tvoj, zabranio.
24 For Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
Jer Jahve, Bog tvoj, oganj je što proždire; on je Bog ljubomoran.
25 When you beget children and children's children, and when you will have been in the land for a long time, and if you corrupt yourselves and make a carved figure in the form of anything, and do what is evil in the sight of Yahweh your God, to provoke him to anger—
Kad budete izrodili djecu i unučad i budete dulje u onoj zemlji proboravili, a pokvarite se praveći sebi bilo kakve klesane likove i čineći zlo u očima Jahve, Boga svojega, tako da ga na srdžbu izazovete,
26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that you will soon utterly perish from off the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess; you will not prolong your days in it, but you will be completely destroyed.
znajte - uzimam za svjedoke protiv vas nebesa i zemlju - da će vas brzo nestati sa zemlje u koju idete preko Jordana da je zaposjednete: nećete dugo u njoj živjeti nego ćete biti iskorijenjeni.
27 Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations, where Yahweh will lead you away.
Jahve će vas raspršiti po narodima i ostat će vas samo malen broj među narodima među koje vas Jahve odvede.
28 There you will serve other gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, hear, eat, nor smell.
Ondje ćete se klanjati bogovima što su ih ljudske ruke načinile od drveta i kamena, bogovima koji ne mogu ni vidjeti ni čuti, ni jesti ni mirisati.
29 But from there you will seek Yahweh your God, and you will find him, when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Ondje ćeš tražiti Jahvu, Boga svoga. I naći ćeš ga ako ga budeš tražio svim srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom.
30 When you are in distress, and when all these things will have come on you, in those later days you will return to Yahweh your God and listen to his voice.
U nevolji tvojoj snaći će te sve to, ali u posljednje vrijeme ti ćeš se obratiti Jahvi, Bogu svomu, i poslušati njegov glas.
31 For Yahweh your God is a merciful God; he will not fail you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers that he swore to them.
TÓa Jahve, Bog tvoj, Bog je milosrdan; neće te on zapustiti ni upropastiti niti će zaboraviti Saveza što ga je pod zakletvom sklopio s ocima tvojim.
32 Ask now about the days that are past, which were before your time, since the day that God created man on the earth, ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether there has been anything so great as this, or has anything like it ever been heard?
Ispitaj samo prijašnja vremena što su protekla prije tebe, sve otkad je Bog stvorio čovjeka na zemlji: je li ikad, s jednoga kraja nebesa do drugoga, bilo ovako veličanstvena događaja? Je li se što takvo čulo?
33 Did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
Je li ikad koji narod čuo glas Boga gdje govori isred ognja kao što si ti čuo i na životu ostao?
34 Or has God ever attempted to go and take for himself a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, as everything that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
Ili, pokuša li koji bog da ode i uzme sebi jedan narod isred drugog naroda kušnjama, znakovima, čudesima i ratom, jakom rukom i ispruženom mišicom, uza silne strahote, kao što je sve to, na vaše oči, učinio za vas Jahve, Bog vaš, u Egiptu?
35 To you these things were shown, so that you might know that Yahweh is God, and that there is no one else besides him.
Tebi je to pokazano da znaš da je Jahve pravi Bog i da nema drugoga uz njega.
36 Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, so that he might instruct you; on earth he made you see his great fire; you heard his words out of the midst of the fire.
S neba ti se oglasio svojim glasom da te pouči; dopustio ti je da vidiš njegov veliki oganj na zemlji; i isred ognja čuo si njegove riječi.
37 Because he loved your fathers, he chose their descendants after them, and brought you out of Egypt with his presence, with his great power;
Zbog toga što je ljubio očeve tvoje, izabrao je poslije njih njihovo potomstvo; on, glavom, izveo te iz Egipta svojom silnom moći;
38 in order to drive out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land as an inheritance, as today.
ispred tebe rastjerao je narode, i brojnije i jače od tebe, da te dovede u njihovu zemlju i preda je tebi u baštinu, kao što je i danas.
39 Know therefore today, and lay it on your heart, that Yahweh is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no one else.
Danas, dakle, spoznaj i zasadi u svoje srce: Jahve je Bog gore na nebu i ovdje na zemlji - drugoga nema.
40 You will keep his statutes and his commandments that I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you forever.”
Drži njegove zakone i njegove zapovijedi koje ti dajem danas da dobro bude tebi i tvojoj djeci poslije tebe; da dugo poživiš na zemlji koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje zauvijek.”
41 Then Moses selected three cities on the east side of the Jordan,
Tada Mojsije izabra tri grada preko Jordana, na istočnoj strani,
42 so that anyone might flee to one of them if he killed another person accidentally, without being his enemy previously. By fleeing to one of these cities, he might survive.
kamo će se moći skloniti ubojica koji nehotice ubije svoga bližnjega a da prije nije imao mržnje prema njemu: da bi, bježeći u koji od ovih gradova, mogao spasiti svoj život.
43 They were: Bezer in the wilderness, the plain country, for the Reubenites; Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.
To su: Bezer u pustinji, u zemlji Mišoru, za Rubenovce; Ramot u Gileadu za Gadovce, i Golan u Bašanu za Manašeovce.
44 This is the law that Moses placed before the people of Israel;
Ovo je Zakon što ga je Mojsije postavio pred Izraelce;
45 these are the covenant decrees, laws, and other decrees that he spoke to the people of Israel when they came out of Egypt,
ovo su upute, zakoni i uredbe što ih je Mojsije dao Izraelcima kad su izišli iz Egipta,
46 when they were east of the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the people of Israel had defeated when they came out of Egypt.
s one strane Jordana, u dolini nasuprot Bet Peoru, u zemlji amorejskoga kralja Sihona, koji je živio u Hešbonu i koga su potukli Mojsije i Izraelci pošto iziđoše iz Egipta.
47 They took his land as a possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan—these, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the east.
Njegovu su zemlju zauzeli i zemlju bašanskoga kralja Oga, dvaju amorejskih kraljeva koji su živjeli preko Jordana na istoku,
48 This territory went from Aroer, on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, to Mount Sion (or Mount Hermon),
od Aroera, koji se nalazi na obali potoka Arnona, do brda Sirjona, to jest Hermona,
49 and included all of the plain of the Jordan River valley, eastward beyond the Jordan, to the Sea of the Arabah, to the slopes of Mount Pisgah.
i svu Arabu preko Jordana, s istoka do mora u Arabi, pod obroncima Pisge.
