< Deuteronomy 32 >
1 Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
»Pazljivo prisluhni, oh ti nebo, jaz pa bom govoril in sliši, oh zemlja, besede mojih ust.
2 My doctrine will drop as the rain. My speech will condense as the dew, as the misty rain on the tender grass, as the showers on the herb.
Moj nauk bo kapljal kakor dež, moj govor bo rosil kakor rosa, kakor dežek na nežno zelišče in kakor nalivi na travo,
3 For I will proclaim the LORD’s name. Ascribe greatness to our God!
ker bom razglašal Gospodovo ime. Veličino pripišite našemu Bogu.
4 The Rock: his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. A God of faithfulness who does no wrong, just and right is he.
On je Skala, njegovo delo je popolno, kajti vse njegove poti so sodba. Bog resnice in brez krivičnosti, pravičen in iskren je on.
5 They have dealt corruptly with him. They are not his children, because of their defect. They are a perverse and crooked generation.
Izpridili so se, njihov madež ni madež njegovih otrok. Sprevržen in sprijen rod so.
6 Is this the way you repay the LORD, foolish and unwise people? Isn’t he your father who has bought you? He has made you and established you.
Ali tako poplačate Gospodu, oh nespametno in ne-modro ljudstvo? Mar ni on tvoj oče, ki te je kupil? Mar te ni on naredil in te postavil?
7 Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.
Spomnite se dni od davnine, preudarite leta mnogih rodov. Vprašajte svojega očeta in vam bo pokazal, svoje starešine in ti bodo povedali.
8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the children of men, he set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel.
Ko je Najvišji narodom razdelil njihovo dediščino, ko je ločil Adamove sinove, je ljudstvu postavil meje, glede na število Izraelovih otrok.
9 For the LORD’s portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
Kajti Gospodov delež je njegovo ljudstvo; Jakob je žreb njegove dediščine.
10 He found him in a desert land, in the waste howling wilderness. He surrounded him. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple of his eye.
Našel ga je v zapuščeni deželi in v opustošeni, tuleči divjini. Vodil ga je naokrog, poučeval ga je, ga varoval kakor punčico svojega očesa.
11 As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings, he took them, he bore them on his feathers.
Kakor orlica spodbuja svoje gnezdo, frfota nad svojimi mladiči, široko razširja svoje peruti, jih jemlje in nosi na svojih perutih,
12 The LORD alone led him. There was no foreign god with him.
tako ga je Gospod sam vodil in tam z njim ni bilo tujega boga.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth. He ate the increase of the field. He caused him to suck honey out of the rock, oil out of the flinty rock;
Dal mu je jahati na visokih krajih zemlje, da bi lahko jedel donos od polj in storil mu je, da sesa med iz skale in olje iz kremenčeve skale,
14 butter from the herd, and milk from the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the finest of the wheat. From the blood of the grape, you drank wine.
maslo goveda in mleko ovc, s tolščo jagnjet in ovni bašánske pasme in koze, z najbogatejšo notranjostjo zrna in pil si čisto kri grozdnih jagod.
15 But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he abandoned God who made him, and rejected the Rock of his salvation.
Toda Ješurún se je odebelil in brcal. Postal si debel, postal si gost, pokrit si z maščobo. Potem je zapustil Boga, ki ga je naredil in preziral Skalo rešitve svoje duše.
16 They moved him to jealousy with strange gods. They provoked him to anger with abominations.
S tujimi bogovi so ga dražili do ljubosumnosti, z ogabnostmi so ga izzivali k jezi.
17 They sacrificed to demons, not God, to gods that they didn’t know, to new gods that came up recently, which your fathers didn’t dread.
Žrtvovali so hudičem, ne pa Bogu, bogovom, ki jih niso poznali, novim bogovom, ki so se na novo pojavili, ki se jih vaši očetje niso bali.
18 Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God who gave you birth.
Nisi mislil na Skalo, ki te je spočela in pozabil si Boga, ki te je oblikoval.
19 The LORD saw and abhorred, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
Ko je Gospod to videl, jih je zaničeval, ker so ga njegovi sinovi in njegove hčere jezili.
20 He said, “I will hide my face from them. I will see what their end will be; for they are a very perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.
Rekel je: ›Svoj obraz bom skril pred njimi. Videl bom kakšen bo njihov konec, kajti zelo kljubovalen rod so, otroci, v katerih ni vere.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities. I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
Ganili so me do ljubosumja s tem, kar ni Bog; s svojimi ničevostmi so me izzivali k jezi. Do ljubosumja jih bom ganil s tistimi, ki niso ljudstvo; k jezi jih bom izzival z nespametnim narodom.
22 For a fire is kindled in my anger, that burns to the lowest Sheol, devours the earth with its increase, and sets the foundations of the mountains on fire. (Sheol )
Kajti v moji jezi je vžgan ogenj in gorel bo do najnižjega pekla in použil bo zemljo z njenim narastom in vžgal bo temelje gora. (Sheol )
23 “I will heap evils on them. I will spend my arrows on them.
Nanje bom nakopičil vragolije, nanje bom poslal svoje puščice.
24 They shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat and bitter destruction. I will send the teeth of animals on them, with the venom of vipers that glide in the dust.
Izčrpani bodo z lakoto in požrti z gorečo vročino in z grenkim uničenjem. Nadnje bom poslal tudi zobe zveri, s strupom kač, [ki se plazijo po] prahu.
25 Outside the sword will bereave, and in the rooms, terror on both young man and virgin, the nursing infant with the gray-haired man.
Meč zunaj in strahota znotraj bo uničila tako mladeniča kot devico, tudi dojenčka z možem sivih las.‹
26 I said that I would scatter them afar. I would make their memory to cease from among men;
Rekel sem: ›Razkropil jih bom v kote in storil bom, da spomin nanje zbledi med ljudmi.
27 were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge wrongly, lest they should say, ‘Our hand is exalted; the LORD has not done all this.’”
Mar ni bilo, da sem se bal sovražnikovega besa, da se ne bi njihovi nasprotniki čudno obnašali in da ne bi rekli: ›Naša roka je visoko in Gospod ni storil vsega tega.‹‹
28 For they are a nation void of counsel. There is no understanding in them.
Kajti oni so narod brez preudarnosti niti ni nobenega razumevanja v njih.
29 Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
Oh, da bi bili modri, da bi to razumeli, da bi preudarili svoj zadnji konec!
30 How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had delivered them up?
Kako naj jih eden prežene tisoč in dva pripravita deset tisoč, da bežijo, razen, da jih je njihova Skala prodala in jih je Gospod izročil?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves concede.
Kajti njihova skala ni kakor naša Skala, celo sami naši sovražniki so sodniki.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, of the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poison grapes. Their clusters are bitter.
Kajti njihova trta je iz sódomske trte in iz gomórskih polj. Njihovo grozdje je grozdje žolča, njihovi grozdi so grenki.
33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, the cruel venom of asps.
Njihovo vino je strup zmajev in krut strup kober.
34 “Isn’t this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?
Mar ni to prihranjeno v shrambi z menoj in zapečateno med mojimi zakladi?
35 Vengeance is mine, and recompense, at the time when their foot slides, for the day of their calamity is at hand. Their doom rushes at them.”
Meni pripada maščevanje in povračilo. Njihovo stopalo bo zdrsnilo ob pravem času, kajti dan njihove katastrofe je pri roki in stvari, ki bodo prišle nadnje, hitijo.
36 For the LORD will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, that there is no one remaining, shut up or left at large.
Kajti Gospod bo sodil svoje ljudstvo in se pokesal zaradi svojih služabnikov, ko vidi, da je njihova moč odšla in tam ni nikogar zaprtega ali preostalega.
37 He will say, “Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
Rekel bo: ›Kje so njihovi bogovi, njihova skala, v katero so zaupali,
38 which ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you! Let them be your protection.
ki so jedli tolščo svojih klavnih daritev in pili vino svojih pitnih daritev? Naj vstanejo in vam pomagajo in bodo vaša zaščita.
39 “See now that I myself am he. There is no god with me. I kill and I make alive. I wound and I heal. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand.
Poglej sedaj, da sem jaz, celó jaz sam in tukaj ni boga z menoj. Jaz ubijam in jaz oživljam; jaz ranim in jaz ozdravljam. Niti tam ni nobenega, ki lahko osvobodi iz moje roke.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven and declare, as I live forever,
Kajti svojo roko dvignem do neba in rečem: ›Jaz živim na veke.‹
41 if I sharpen my glittering sword, my hand grasps it in judgment; I will take vengeance on my adversaries, and will repay those who hate me.
Če nabrusim svoj lesketajoči meč in moja roka zgrabi sodbo, bom povrnil maščevanje svojim sovražnikom in nagradil tiste, ki me sovražijo.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood. My sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the head of the leaders of the enemy.”
Svoje puščice bom opijanil s krvjo in moj meč bo žrl meso in to s krvjo umorjenih in ujetnikov, od začetka maščevanj nad sovražnikom.‹
43 Rejoice, you nations, with his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants. He will take vengeance on his adversaries, and will make atonement for his land and for his people.
Veselite se, oh vi narodi, z njegovim ljudstvom, kajti maščeval bo kri svojih služabnikov in povrnil bo maščevanje svojim nasprotnikom in usmiljen bo do svoje dežele in do svojega ljudstva.«
44 Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun.
Mojzes je prišel in vse besede te pesmi spregovoril v ušesa ljudstva, on in Nunov sin Hošéa.
45 Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel.
Mojzes je končal govorjenje vseh teh besed vsemu Izraelu.
46 He said to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you today, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
Rekel jim je: »Nastavite svoja srca k vsem besedam, ki jih ta dan pričujem med vami, ki jih boste zapovedali svojim otrokom, da jih obeležujejo, da jih storijo, vse besede te postave.
47 For it is no vain thing for you, because it is your life, and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, where you go over the Jordan to possess it.”
Kajti to za vas ni prazna stvar, ker to je vaše življenje in zaradi te stvari boste podaljšali svoje dni v deželi, kamor greste čez Jordan, da jo vzamete v last.«
48 The LORD spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
Gospod je ta isti dan spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
49 “Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is across from Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession.
»Povzpni se na to gorovje Abarím, na goro Nebó, ki je v deželi Moáb, ki je nasproti Jerihe in poglej kánaansko deželo, ki jo dajem Izraelovim otrokom v posest.
50 Die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was gathered to his people;
Umri na gori, kamor se povzpneš in bodi zbran k svojemu ljudstvu, kakor je tvoj brat Aron umrl na gori Hor in je bil zbran k svojemu ljudstvu,
51 because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you didn’t uphold my holiness among the children of Israel.
ker sta grešila zoper mene med Izraelovimi otroki pri vodah Meríba [v] Kadešu, v Cinski divjini, ker me nista izkazala svetega v sredi Izraelovih otrok.
52 For you shall see the land from a distance; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel.”
Vendar boš deželo videl pred seboj, toda ne boš šel tja, v deželo, ki sem jo dal Izraelovim otrokom.«
