Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, Israel; you are about to cross over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, and cities that are great and fortified up to heaven,
Slušaj, Izraele! Danas prelaziš preko Jordana da sebi podvrgneš narode i veće i brojnije nego što si ti; velike gradove, s utvrdama do nebesa;
2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard people say, 'Who can stand before the sons of Anak?'
narod velik i gorostasan poput Anakovaca, koje već poznaješ i o kojima si slušao: 'Tko da odoli Anakovcima?'
3 Know therefore today that Yahweh your God is he who goes over before you like a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will subdue them before you; so will you drive them out and make them to perish quickly, as Yahweh has said to you.
Znaj dakle danas da Jahve, Bog tvoj, ide pred tobom. On je vatra što proždire; on će ih oboriti, tebi ih podvrgnuti. A ti ćeš ih onda rastjerati i ubrzo pobiti, kako ti je Jahve i rekao.
4 Do not say in your heart, after Yahweh your God has thrust them out from before you, 'It was because of my righteousness that Yahweh has brought me in to possess this land,' for it was because of the wickedness of these nations that Yahweh is driving them out from before you.
Pošto ih otjera ispred tebe Jahve, Bog tvoj, nemoj reći u srcu svome: 'Jahve me uveo da zaposjednem ovu zemlju zbog moje pravednosti.' Naprotiv, zbog opačina onih naroda Jahve ih tjera ispred tebe.
5 It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you are going in to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that your God is driving them out from before you, and so that he may make come true the word that he swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Ne ideš ti da zaposjedneš njihovu zemlju zbog svoje pravednosti i čestitosti svoga srca, nego zato što Jahve, Bog tvoj, zbog opačine onih naroda tjera njih ispred tebe da tako održi riječ kojom se zakleo tvojim ocima: Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu.
6 Know therefore, that Yahweh your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stubborn people.
Znaj, dakle, da ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, ne daje ovu dobru zemlju u posjed zbog tvoje pravednosti, jer si ti narod tvrde šije!
7 Remember and do not forget how you provoked Yahweh your God to anger in the wilderness; from the day that you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yahweh.
Sjećaj se i ne zaboravljaj kako si u pustinji ljutio Jahvu, Boga svoga. Od dana kad ste izašli iz zemlje egipatske do dolaska na ovo mjesto, Jahvi ste se opirali.
8 Also at Horeb you provoked Yahweh to anger, and Yahweh was angry enough with you to destroy you.
Na Horebu ste rasrdili Jahvu i Jahve je na vas tako planuo da vas je htio uništiti.
9 When I went up the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant that Yahweh made with you, I stayed on the mountain for forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water.
Popeo sam se na brdo da primim kamene ploče, ploče Saveza što ga s vama sklopi Jahve. Na brdu sam ostao četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći: niti sam jeo kruha niti pio vode.
10 Yahweh gave to me the two tablets of stone written with his finger; on them was written everything just like all the words that Yahweh announced to you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire on the day of the assembly.
I dade mi Jahve dvije kamene ploče, ispisane prstom Božjim, na kojima bijahu sve riječi što vam ih je Jahve isred ognja na brdu rekao na dan zbora.
11 It happened at the end of those forty days and forty nights that Yahweh gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.
Kad je prošlo četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći, Jahve mi dade dvije kamene ploče - ploče Saveza.
12 Yahweh said to me, 'Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people, whom you brought out of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned aside out of the path that I commanded them. They have made for themselves a cast figure.'
I reče mi Jahve: 'Ustaj! Žurno siđi odavde, jer se pokvario narod tvoj koji si izveo iz Egipta. Brzo su zašli s puta koji sam im označio: već su sebi napravili livenog kumira.'
13 Furthermore, Yahweh spoke to me and said, 'I have seen this people; they are a stubborn people.
Još mi reče Jahve: 'Promatrao sam taj narod. Zbilja je to narod tvrde šije!
14 Let me alone, so that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven, and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.'
Pusti me da ih uništim i njihovo ime izbrišem pod nebesima, a od tebe da učinim narod i jači i brojniji nego što je ovaj!'
15 So I turned around and came down the mountain, and the mountain was burning. The two tablets of the covenant were in my hands.
Okrenuh se i siđoh niz brdo, a brdo svejednako plamtjelo u ognju. Dvije ploče Saveza bijahu mi u rukama.
16 I looked, and behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God. You had molded for yourselves a calf. You had quickly turned aside out of the path that Yahweh had commanded you.
Pogledah: zbilja ste sagriješili protiv Jahve, Boga svoga. Salili ste sebi tele od kovine. Tako ste brzo zašli s puta što vam ga Jahve bijaše označio.
17 I took the two tablets and threw them out of my hands. I broke them before your eyes.
Pograbih dvije ploče te ih bacih od sebe objema rukama - razbih ploče pred vašim očima.
18 Again I lay facedown before Yahweh for forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin that you had committed, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, so as to provoke him to anger.
Onda se ničice bacih pred Jahvu. Četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći - kao i prije - niti sam jeo kruha niti pio vode zbog svih grijeha koje ste počinili radeći zlo u očima Jahve i srdeći ga.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which Yahweh was angry enough against you to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me that time also.
Jer se bojah srdžbe i gnjeva kojim je Jahve usplamtio na vas da vas zatre. Ali me i tada Jahve usliša.
20 Yahweh was very angry with Aaron so as to destroy him; I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
I na Arona se Jahve silno rasrdio, htio ga uništiti. Tada se zauzeh i za Arona.
21 I took your sin, the calf that you had made, and burned it, beat it, and ground it very small, until it was as fine as dust. I threw its dust into the stream that came down from the mountain.
Vaš grijeh, tele što bijaste načinili, uzeh i sažegoh ga u vatri. U prah ga satrh i prah mu bacih u potok što teče s brda.
22 At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked Yahweh to wrath.
Kod Tabere, kod Mase i Kibrot Hataave srdili ste Jahvu.
23 When Yahweh sent you from Kadesh Barnea and said, 'Go up and take possession of the land that I have given you,' then you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you did not believe or listen to his voice.
Kad vas je Jahve slao od Kadeš Barnee govoreći: 'Idite gore i uzmite zemlju koju sam vam dao', pobunili ste se protiv riječi Jahve, Boga svoga; u nj se niste pouzdavali niti ste slušali njegov glas.
24 You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you.
Nepokorni bijaste Jahvi otkad vas poznajem.
25 So I lay facedown before Yahweh those forty days and forty nights, because he had said that he would destroy you.
Zato sam pao ničice i ležao pred Jahvom četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći, jer Jahve bijaše rekao da će vas uništiti.
26 I prayed to Yahweh and said, 'O Lord Yahweh, do not destroy your people or your inheritance whom you have redeemed through your greatness, which you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
Jahvu sam molio i rekao: 'Gospodine moj, Jahve! Ne uništavaj naroda svoga, baštine svoje koju si izbavio u svojoj veličajnosti i svojom moćnom rukom izveo iz Egipta.
27 Call to mind your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin,
Sjeti se slugu svojih: Abrahama, Izaka i Jakova, a ne obaziri se na tvrdokornost ovoga naroda, na njegovu opačinu, na grijeh njegov,
28 so that the land from where you brought us should say, “Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land that he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.”
da se ne rekne u zemlji iz koje si nas izbavio: Jahve ih nije mogao uvesti u zemlju koju im je obećao, ili ih je mrzio pa ih je zato odveo da ih pomori u pustinji.
29 Yet they are your people and your inheritance, whom you brought out by your great strength and by the display of your power.'
A oni su tvoj narod, tvoja baština, oni koje si izveo svojom velikom moći i ispruženom mišicom.'
