Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, Israel! You are to pass over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,
Чуј, Израиљу! Ти данас прелазиш преко Јордана да уђеш и наследиш народе веће и јаче од себе, градове велике и ограђене до неба.
2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, “Who can stand before the sons of Anak?”
Велик и висок народ, синове Енакове, које знаш и за које си слушао:
3 Know therefore today that the LORD your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire. He will destroy them and he will bring them down before you. So you shall drive them out and make them perish quickly, as the LORD has spoken to you.
Знај дакле данас да је Господ Бог твој, који иде пред тобом, огањ који спаљује; Он ће их истребити и Он ће их оборити пред тобом, и изгнаћеш их и истребити брзо, као што ти је казао Господ.
4 Don’t say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out from before you, “For my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land;” because the LORD drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.
Кад их Господ Бог твој отера испред тебе, немој да кажеш у срцу свом: За правду моју уведе ме Господ у ову земљу да је наследим; јер Господ тера оне народе испред тебе за неваљалство њихово!
5 Not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Не идеш за правду своју ни за чистоту срца свог да наследиш ту земљу; него за неваљалство тих народа Господ Бог твој отера их испред тебе, и да одржи реч за коју се заклео оцима твојим, Авраму, Исаку и Јакову.
6 Know therefore that the LORD your God doesn’t give you this good land to possess for your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.
Знај, дакле, да ти Господ Бог твој не даје те добре земље за правду твоју да је наследиш, јер си тврдоврат народ.
7 Remember, and don’t forget, how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.
Памти и не заборави како си гневио Господа Бога свог у пустињи; од оног дана кад изиђосте из земље мисирске па докле дођосте на ово место, непокорни бејасте Господу.
8 Also in Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was angry with you to destroy you.
И код Хорива разгневисте Господа, и од гнева хтеде вас Господ да истреби.
9 When I had gone up onto the mountain to receive the stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water.
Кад изиђох на гору да примим плоче камене, плоче завета, који с вама учини Господ, тада стајах на гори четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи хлеба не једући ни воде пијући.
10 The LORD delivered to me the two stone tablets written with God’s finger. On them were all the words which the LORD spoke with you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly.
И даде ми Господ две плоче камене, исписане прстом Господњим, на којима беху речи све које вам изговори Господ на гори исред огња на дан збора вашег.
11 It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights that the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant.
После четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи даде ми Господ две плоче камене, плоче заветне.
12 The LORD said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned away from the way which I commanded them. They have made a molten image for themselves!”
И рече ми Господ: Устани, сиђи брже одавде; јер се поквари народ твој који си извео из Мисира, сиђоше брзо с пута који им заповедих, и начинише себи ливен лик.
13 Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
Још ми рече Господ говорећи: Погледах овај народ, и ето је народ тврдог врата.
14 Leave me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.”
Пусти ме да их истребим и име њихово затрем под небом; а од тебе ћу учинити народ јачи и већи него што је овај.
15 So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire. The two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
И ја се вратих и сиђох с горе, а гора огњем гораше, и две плоче заветне беху ми у рукама.
16 I looked, and behold, you had sinned against the LORD your God. You had made yourselves a moulded calf. You had quickly turned away from the way which the LORD had commanded you.
И погледах, а то згрешисте Господу Богу свом саливши себи теле, и брзо сиђосте с пута који вам беше заповедио Господ.
17 I took hold of the two tablets, and threw them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
Тада узех оне две плоче и бацих их из руку својих, и разбих их пред вама.
18 I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
Потом падох и лежах пред Господом као пре, четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи, хлеба не једући ни воде пијући, ради свих греха ваших, којима се огрешисте учинивши што је зло пред Господом и разгневивши Га.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the LORD was angry against you to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me that time also.
Јер се бојах гнева и јарости, којом се беше Господ разљутио на вас да вас истреби; и услиши ме Господ и тада.
20 The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
Беше се Господ и на Арона разгневио веома да га хтеде убити; али се молих тада и за Арона.
21 I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. I threw its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.
И узех грех ваш који учинисте, теле, и сажегох га огњем, и разбих га и сатрх га у прах, и просух прах његов у поток, који тече с оне горе.
22 At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah you provoked the LORD to wrath.
И у Тавери и у Маси и у Киврот-Атави гневисте Господа.
23 When the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, “Go up and possess the land which I have given you,” you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and you didn’t believe him or listen to his voice.
И кад вас посла Господ у Кадис-Варнију говорећи: Идите и узмите ту земљу коју сам вам дао, опет се супротисте речи Господа Бога свог, и не веровасте Му и не послушасте глас Његов.
24 You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
Непокорни бејасте Господу од кад вас познах.
25 So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
Зато падох и лежах пред Господом четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи, јер беше рекао Господ да ће вас потрти.
26 I prayed to the LORD, and said, “Lord GOD, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
И молих се Господу и рекох: Господе, Господе! Немој потрти народ свој и наследство своје, које си избавио величанством својим, које си извео из Мисира крепком руком.
27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Don’t look at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin,
Опомени се слуга својих Аврама, Исака и Јакова, не гледај на тврђу народа овог, на неваљалство његово и на грехе његове;
28 lest the land you brought us out from say, ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’
Да не кажу који живе у земљи одакле си нас извео: Није их могао Господ увести у земљу коју им обећа, или мрзео је на њих, зато их изведе да их побије у пустињи.
29 Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.”
Јер су Твој народ и Твоје наследство, које си извео силом својом великом и мишицом својом подигнутом.
