Deuteronomy 1

1 These [are] the words which Moses hath spoken unto all Israel, beyond the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain over-against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-Zahab;

To so besede, ki jih je Mojzes govoril vsemu Izraelu na tej strani Jordana, v divjini, na ravnini nasproti Rdečemu morju, med Paránom, Tofelom, Labánom, Hacerótom in Di Zahábom.

2 eleven days' from Horeb, the way of mount Seir, unto Kadesh-Barnea.

( Tam je enajstdnevno potovanje od Horeba, po poti gorovja Seír do Kadeš Barnée.)

3 And it cometh to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month hath Moses spoken unto the sons of Israel according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him concerning them;

V štiridesetem letu, v enajstem mesecu, na prvi dan meseca, se je pripetilo, da je Mojzes spregovoril Izraelovim otrokom glede vsega, kar mu je Gospod dal njim v zapoved,

4 after his smiting Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan who is dwelling in Ashtaroth in Edrei,

potem, ko je umoril amoréjskega kralja Sihóna, ki je prebival v Hešbónu in bašánskega kralja Oga, ki je prebival pri Aštarótu v Edréiju,

5 beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, hath Moses begun to explain this law, saying:

na tej strani Jordana, v moábski deželi, je Mojzes začel oznanjati to postavo, rekoč:

6 'Jehovah our God hath spoken unto us in Horeb, saying, Enough to you — of dwelling in this mount;

» Gospod, naš Bog, nam je spregovoril na Horebu, rekoč: ›Dovolj dolgo ste prebivali na tej gori.

7 turn ye and journey for you, and enter the mount of the Amorite, and unto all its neighbouring places, in the plain, in the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the south, and in the haven of the sea, the land of the Canaanite, and of Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Phrat;

Obrnite se in pojdite na potovanje in pojdite h gori Amoréjcev in k vsem krajem blizu nje, na ravnini, na hribih, v dolini, na jugu in ob morski obali, k deželi Kánaancev in k Libanonu, k veliki reki, reki Evfrat.

8 see, I have set before you the land; go in and possess the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them, and to their seed after them.

Glejte, pred vas sem postavil deželo. Vstopite in vzemite v last deželo, ki jo je Gospod prisegel vašim očetom, Abrahamu, Izaku in Jakobu, da jo da njim in njihovemu semenu za njimi.‹

9 'And I speak unto you at that time, saying, I am not able by myself to bear you;

Ob tistem času sem vam govoril, rekoč: ›Nisem vas zmožen nositi sam.

10 Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and lo, ye [are] to-day as the stars of the heavens for multitude;

Gospod, vaš Bog, vas je pomnožil in glejte, vas je ta dan kakor zvezd neba zaradi množice.

11 Jehovah, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as ye [are], a thousand times, and doth bless you as He hath spoken to you.

( Gospod, Bog vaših očetov, naj vas naredi tisočkrat toliko, kot vas je in vas blagoslovi, kot vam je obljubil!)

12 'How do I bear by myself your pressure, and your burden, and your strife?

Kako lahko jaz sam nosim vašo obremenitev, vaše breme in vaš prepir?

13 Give for yourselves men, wise and intelligent, and known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads;

Vzemite si modre može, razumne in poznane med svojimi rodovi in jaz jih bom naredil voditelje nad vami.‹

14 and ye answer me and say, Good [is] the thing which thou hast spoken — to do.

Odgovorili ste mi in rekli: ›Stvar, ki si jo govoril, je za nas dobra, da [jo] storimo.‹

15 'And I take the heads of your tribes, men, wise and known, and I appoint them heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities, for your tribes.

Tako sem vzel vodilne izmed vaših rodov, modre može in poznane in jih naredil poglavarje nad vami, tisočnike, stotnike, petdesetnike, desetnike in častnike med vašimi rodovi.

16 And I command your judges at that time, saying, Hearkening between your brethren — then ye have judged righteousness between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner;

Ob tistem času sem zadolžil vaše sodnike, rekoč: ›Prisluhnite pravdam med vašimi brati in pravično sodite med vsakim možem, njegovim bratom in tujcem, ki je z njim.

17 ye do not discern faces in judgment; as the little so the great ye do hear; ye are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God's, and the thing which is too hard for you, ye bring near unto me, and I have heard it;

Pri sodbi se ne boste ozirali na osebe; temveč boste prisluhnili tako majhnemu kakor velikemu. Ne boste se bali obličja človeka, kajti razsodba je Božja. Zadevo pa, ki je za vas pretežka, to prinesite k meni in ji bom prisluhnil.‹

18 and I command you, at that time, all the things which ye do.

Ob tistem času sem vam zapovedal vse stvari, ki naj bi jih storili.

19 'And we journey from Horeb, and go [through] all that great and fearful wilderness which ye have seen — the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as Jehovah our God hath commanded us, and we come in unto Kadesh-Barnea.

Ko smo odpotovali od Horeba, smo odšli skozi vso to veliko in strašno divjino, ki ste jo videli po poti gore Amoréjcev, kakor nam je Gospod, naš Bog, zapovedal, in prišli smo do Kadeš Barnée.

20 'And I say unto you, Ye have come in unto the hill-country of the Amorite, which Jehovah our God is giving to us;

Rekel sem vam: ›Prišli ste h gori Amoréjcev, ki nam jo daje Gospod, naš Bog.

21 see, Jehovah thy God hath set before thee the land; go up, possess, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.

Glej, Gospod, tvoj Bog je predte postavil deželo. Pojdi gor in si jo vzemi v last, kakor ti je rekel Gospod, Bog tvojih očetov. Ne boj se niti ne izgubi poguma.‹

22 'And ye come near unto me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search for us the land, and they bring us back word [concerning] the way in which we go up into it, and the cities unto which we come in;

Približali ste si mi, vsak izmed vas in rekli: ›Pred nami bomo poslali može in preiskali bodo deželo in nam ponovno prinesli besedo, po kateri poti moramo iti gor in v katera mesta bomo prišli.‹

23 and the thing is good in mine eyes, and I take of you twelve men, one man for a tribe.

Govor mi je ugajal, in izmed vas sem vzel dvanajst mož, enega iz rodu

24 'And they turn and go up to the hill-country, and come in unto the valley of Eshcol, and spy it,

in obrnili so se in odšli gor na goro in prišli v dolino Eškól in jo preiskali.

25 and they take with their hand of the fruit of the land, and bring down unto us, and bring us back word, and say, Good is the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.

V svoje roke so vzeli od sadu dežele in to prinesli dol k nam in nam ponovno prinesli besedo ter rekli: › To je dobra dežela, ki nam jo daje Gospod, naš Bog.‹

26 'And ye have not been willing to go up, and ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God,

Vendar niste hoteli iti gor, temveč [ste se] uprli zoper zapoved Gospoda, svojega Boga.

27 and murmur in your tents, and say, In Jehovah's hating us He hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorite — to destroy us;

V svojih šotorih ste godrnjali in rekli: ›Zato, ker nas je Gospod sovražil, nas je privedel naprej, ven iz egiptovske dežele, da nas izroči v roke Amoréjcev, da nas uničijo.

28 whither are we going up? our brethren have melted our heart, saying, A people greater and taller than we, cities great and fenced to heaven, and also sons of Anakim — we have seen there.

Kam naj gremo gor? Naši bratje so našemu srcu vzeli pogum, rekoč: ›Ljudstvo je večje in višje, kakor smo mi. Mesta so velika in ograjena do neba, in poleg tega smo tam videli Anákove sinove.‹‹

29 'And I say unto you, Be not terrified, nor be afraid of them;

Potem sem vam rekel: ›Ne bodite zaprepadeni niti se jih ne bojte.

30 Jehovah your God, who is going before you — He doth fight for you, according to all that He hath done with you in Egypt before your eyes,

Gospod, vaš Bog, ki gre pred vami, se bo boril za vas, glede na vse, kar je pred vašimi očmi za vas storil v Egiptu

31 and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen that Jehovah thy God hath borne thee as a man beareth his son, in all the way which ye have gone, till your coming in unto this place.

in v divjini, kjer si videl, kako te je nosil Gospod, tvoj Bog, kakor mož nosi svojega sina, na vsej poti, kamor ste odšli, dokler niste prišli na ta kraj.‹

32 'And in this thing ye are not stedfast in Jehovah your God,

Vendar v tej stvari niste verovali Gospodu, svojemu Bogu,

33 who is going before you in the way to search out to you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you in the way in which ye go, and in a cloud by day.

ki je pred vami odšel na pot, da vam poišče prostor, da na njem postavite svoje šotore, v ognju ponoči, da vam pokaže po kateri pot naj bi šli, in v oblaku podnevi.

34 'And Jehovah heareth the voice of your words, and is wroth, and sweareth, saying,

Gospod je slišal glas vaših besed in bil ogorčen ter prisegel, rekoč:

35 Not one of these men of this evil generation doth see the good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers,

›Zagotovo ne bo nobeden izmed teh mož tega zlega rodu videl te dobre dežele, za katero sem prisegel, da jo dam vašim očetom,

36 save Caleb son of Jephunneh — he doth see it, and to him I give the land on which he hath trodden, and to his sons, because that he hath been fully after Jehovah.

razen Jefunéjevega sina Kaléba; on jo bo videl in njemu bom dal deželo, po kateri je stopal in njegovim otrokom, ker je v celoti sledil Gospodu.‹

37 'Also with me hath Jehovah been angry for your sake, saying, Also, thou dost not go in thither;

Prav tako je bil Gospod zaradi vas jezen name, rekoč: ›Ti tudi ne boš vstopil vanjo.

38 Joshua son of Nun, who is standing before thee, he goeth in thither; him strengthen thou; for he doth cause Israel to inherit.

Toda Nunov sin Józue, ki stoji pred teboj, on bo vstopil tja. Ohrabri ga, kajti Izraelu bo povzročil, da jo podeduje.

39 'And your infants, of whom ye have said, For a prey they are, and your sons who have not known to-day good and evil, they go in thither, and to them I give it, and they possess it;

Poleg tega bodo vaši malčki, za katere ste rekli, da bi morali biti plen in vaši otroci, ki na ta dan niso imeli spoznanja med dobrim in zlom, oni bodo vstopili tja in njim jo bom dal in oni jo bodo vzeli v last.

40 and ye, turn for yourselves, and journey toward the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea.

Toda kar se tiče vas, se obrnite in pojdite na potovanje v divjino, po poti Rdečega morja.‹

41 'And ye answer and say unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah; we — we go up, and we have fought, according to all that which Jehovah our God hath commanded us; and ye gird on each his weapons of war, and ye are ready to go up into the hill-country;

Potem ste mi odgovorili in rekli: ›Grešili smo zoper Gospoda, šli bomo gor in se borili, glede na vse, kar nam je zapovedal Gospod, naš Bog.‹ In ko ste si opasali vsak mož svoje bojno orožje, ste bili pripravljeni, da greste gor na hrib.

42 and Jehovah saith unto me, Say to them, Ye do not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, and ye are not smitten before your enemies.

Gospod mi je rekel: ›Reci jim: ›Ne pojdite gor niti se ne bojujte, kajti jaz nisem med vami, da ne bi bili udarjeni pred svojimi sovražniki.‹‹

43 'And I speak unto you, and ye have not hearkened, and provoke the mouth of Jehovah, and act proudly, and go up into the hill-country;

Tako sem vam govoril, pa niste hoteli slišati, temveč [ste se] uprli zoper Gospodovo zapoved in prepotentno odšli na hrib.

44 and the Amorite who is dwelling in that hill-country cometh out to meet you, and they pursue you as the bees do, and smite you in Seir — unto Hormah.

Amoréjci, ki prebivajo na tej gori, so prišli ven zoper vas in vas preganjali, kakor počnejo čebele in vas uničili v Seírju, celó do Horme.

45 'And ye turn back and weep before Jehovah, and Jehovah hath not hearkened to your voice, nor hath he given ear unto you;

Vrnili ste se in jokali pred Gospodom, toda Gospod ni hotel prisluhniti vašemu glasu niti nagniti ušesa k vam.

46 and ye dwell in Kadesh many days, according to the days which ye had dwelt.

Tako ste mnogo dni ostali v Kadešu, glede na dneve, ko ste ostajali tam.
