Deuteronomy 4
1 'And now, Israel, hearken unto the statutes, and unto the judgments which I am teaching you to do, so that ye live, and have gone in, and possessed the land which Jehovah God of your fathers is giving to you.
Zdaj torej prisluhni, oh Izrael, zakonom in sodbam, ki vas jih učim, da jih izpolnjujete, da boste lahko živeli, vstopili in vzeli v last deželo, ki vam jo daje Gospod, Bog vaših očetov.
2 Ye do not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor diminish from it, to keep the commands of Jehovah your God which I am commanding you.
Ne boste dodajali besedi, ki sem vam jo zapovedal niti ne boste zmanjševali česa od nje, da bi lahko ohranjali zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki sem vam jih zapovedal.
3 'Your eyes are seeing that which Jehovah hath done in Baal-Peor, for every man who hath gone after Baal-Peor, Jehovah thy God hath destroyed him from thy midst;
Vaše oči so videle kaj je Gospod storil zaradi Báal Peórja. Zaradi vseh mož, ki so sledili Báal Peórju, jih je Gospod, tvoj Bog, uničil izmed vas.
4 and ye who are cleaving to Jehovah your God, [are] alive, all of you, to-day.
Toda vi, ki ste se trdno držali Gospoda, svojega Boga, ste danes živi, vsakdo izmed vas.
5 'See, I have taught you statutes and judgments, as Jehovah my God hath commanded me — to do so, in the midst of the land whither ye are going in to possess it;
Glejte, učil sem vas zakonov in sodb, celo kakor mi je Gospod, moj Bog, zapovedal, da naj bi storili v deželi, kamor greste, da jo vzamete v last.
6 and ye have kept and done [them] (for it [is] your wisdom and your understanding) before the eyes of the peoples who hear all these statutes, and they have said, Only, a people wise and understanding [is] this great nation.
Torej jih ohranjajte in izpolnjujte, kajti to je vaša modrost in vaše razumevanje v očeh narodov, ki bodo slišali vse te zakone in rekli: ›Zagotovo je ta véliki narod modro in razumevajoče ljudstvo.‹
7 'For which [is] the great nation that hath God near unto it, as Jehovah our God, in all we have called unto him?
Kajti kateri narod je tam tako velik, ki ima Boga tako blizu, kakor je Gospod, naš Bog, v vseh stvareh, za katere kličemo k njemu?
8 and which [is] the great nation which hath righteous statutes and judgments according to all this law which I am setting before you to-day?
In kateri narod je tam tako velik, ki ima zakone in sodbe tako pravične, kot je vsa ta postava, ki jo danes postavljam pred vas?
9 'Only, take heed to thyself, and watch thy soul exceedingly, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they turn aside from thy heart, all days of thy life; and thou hast made them known to thy sons, and to thy sons' sons.
Samo pazi nase in marljivo varuj svojo dušo, da ne pozabiš stvari, ki so jih videle tvoje oči in da vse dni tvojega življenja ne odidejo od tvojega srca, temveč poučuj svoje sinove in svojih sinov sinove,
10 'The day when thou hast stood before Jehovah thy God in Horeb — in Jehovah's saying unto me, Assemble to Me the people, and I cause them to hear My words, so that they learn to fear Me all the days that they are alive on the ground, and their sons they teach; —
posebej [o] dnevu, ko si stal pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, na Horebu, ko mi je Gospod rekel: ›Zberi mi skupaj ljudstvo in pripravil jih bom slišati moje besede, da se me bodo lahko naučili bati vse dni, ki jih bodo živeli na zemlji in da bodo lahko učili svoje otroke.‹
11 and ye draw near and stand under the mountain, and the mountain is burning with fire unto the heart of the heavens — darkness, cloud, yea, thick darkness:
In približali ste se ter stali pod goro in gora je gorela z ognjem do srede neba, s temo, oblaki in gosto temo.
12 'And Jehovah speaketh unto you out of the midst of the fire; a voice of words ye are hearing and a similitude ye are not seeing, only a voice;
Gospod vam je spregovoril iz srede ognja. Slišali ste glas besed, toda nobene podobnosti niste videli, samo glas ste slišali.
13 and He declareth to you His covenant, which He hath commanded you to do, the Ten Matters, and He writeth them upon two tables of stone.
Naznanil vam je svojo zavezo, ki vam jo je zapovedal, da jo opravljate, torej deset zapovedi, in napisal jih je na dve kamniti plošči.
14 'And me hath Jehovah commanded at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, for your doing them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it;
Gospod mi je ob tistem času zapovedal, da vas učim zakone in sodbe, da jih boste lahko izpolnjevali v deželi, kamor greste, da jo vzamete v last.
15 and ye have been very watchful of your souls, for ye have not seen any similitude in the day of Jehovah's speaking unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire,
Zato torej dobro pazite nase, kajti nobene vrste podobnosti niste videli na dan, ko vam je Gospod govoril na Horebu iz srede ognja,
16 lest ye do corruptly, and have made to you a graven image, a similitude of any figure, a form of male or female —
da se ne bi izpridili in si naredili rezane podobe, podobnost kakršnekoli postave, podobnost moškega ali ženske,
17 a form of any beast which [is] in the earth — a form of any winged bird which flieth in the heavens —
podobnost katerekoli živali, ki je na zemlji, podobnost katerekoli krilate perjadi, ki leti po zraku,
18 a form of any creeping thing on the ground — a form of any fish which [is] in the waters under the earth;
podobnost katerekoli stvari, ki se plazi po tleh, podobnost katerekoli ribe, ki je v vodah pod zemljo,
19 'And lest thou lift up thine eyes towards the heavens, and hast seen the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of the heavens, and thou hast been forced, and hast bowed thyself to them, and served them, which Jehovah thy God hath apportioned to all the peoples under the whole heavens.
in da ne bi povzdignil svojih oči k nebu in ko zagledaš sonce, luno in zvezde, celó vso vojsko neba, da ne bi bil zapeljan, da jih obožuješ in jim služiš, ki jih je Gospod, tvoj Bog, razdelil vsem narodom pod celotnim nebom.
20 'And you hath Jehovah taken, and He is bringing you out from the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be to Him for a people — an inheritance, as [at] this day.
Toda Gospod vas je vzel in vas privedel naprej iz železne talilne peči, torej iz Egipta, da mu boste ljudstvo dediščine, kakor ste ta dan.
21 'And Jehovah hath shewed himself wroth with me because of your words, and sweareth to my not passing over the Jordan, and to my not going in unto the good land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance;
Nadalje je bil zaradi vas Gospod jezen nad menoj in prisegel, da naj ne bi šel preko Jordana in da naj ne bi vstopil v to dobro deželo, ki ti jo Gospod, tvoj Bog, daje v dediščino,
22 for I am dying in this land; I am not passing over the Jordan, and ye are passing over, and have possessed this good land.
temveč moram umreti v tej deželi, ne smem iti čez Jordan. Toda vi boste šli čez in tisto dobro deželo vzeli v last.
23 'Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which He hath made with you, and have made to yourselves a graven image, a similitude of anything [concerning] which Jehovah thy God hath charged thee:
Pazite nase, da ne bi pozabili zaveze Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki jo je sklenil z vami in si naredili rezane podobe ali podobnost katerekoli stvari, ki ti jo je Gospod, tvoj Bog, prepovedal.
24 for Jehovah thy God is a fire consuming — a zealous God.
Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je požirajoč ogenj, celó ljubosumen Bog.
25 'When thou begettest sons and sons' sons, and ye have become old in the land, and have done corruptly, and have made a graven image, a similitude of anything, and have done the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him to anger: —
Ko boš zaplodil otroke in otrok otroke in boste dolgo ostali v deželi in se boste izpridili in naredili rezano podobo ali podobnost katerikoli stvari in boste počeli zlo v očeh Gospoda, svojega Boga, da ga dražite k jezi,
26 I have caused to testify against you this day the heavens and the earth, that ye do perish utterly hastily from off the land whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it; ye do not prolong days upon it, but are utterly destroyed;
pokličem nebo in zemljo, da ta dan pričujeta zoper vas, da boste kmalu popolnoma izginili iz dežele, v katero ste šli prek Jordana, da jo vzamete v last. Ne boste podaljšali svojih dni na njej, temveč boste popolnoma uničeni.
27 and Jehovah hath scattered you among the peoples, and ye have been left few in number among the nations, whither Jehovah leadeth you,
Gospod vas bo razkropil med narode in malo vas bo ostalo po številu med pogani, kamor vas bo vodil Gospod.
28 and ye have served there gods, work of man's hands, wood and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
Tam boste služili bogovom, delu človeških rok, lesu in kamnu, ki niti ne vidita niti ne slišita, ne jesta niti ne vonjata.
29 'And — ye have sought from thence Jehovah thy God, and hast found, when thou seekest Him with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
Toda če boš od tam iskal Gospoda, svojega Boga, ga boš našel, če ga iščeš z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo.
30 in distress [being] to thee, and all these things have found thee, in the latter end of the days, and thou hast turned back unto Jehovah thy God, and hast hearkened to His voice;
Ko si v stiski in vse te stvari pridejo nadte, torej v zadnjih dneh, če se obrneš h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu in boš poslušen njegovemu glasu
31 for a merciful God [is] Jehovah thy God; He doth not fail thee, nor destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers, which He hath sworn to them.
(kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je usmiljen Bog) te ne bo zapustil niti uničil niti pozabil zaveze tvojih očetov, ki jim jo je prisegel.
32 'For, ask, I pray thee, at the former days which have been before thee, from the day that God prepared man on the earth, and from the [one] end of the heavens even unto the [other] end of the heavens, whether there hath been as this great thing — or hath been heard like it?
Kajti vprašaj sedaj o dneh, ki so minili, ki so bili pred teboj, od dneva, ko je Bog na zemlji ustvaril moža in vprašaj od ene strani neba do druge, ali je bila tam kakršna koli takšna stvar, kot je ta velika stvar, ali je bila slišati podobno?
33 Hath a people heard the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, thou — and doth live?
Mar je kdajkoli ljudstvo slišalo glas Boga govoriti iz srede ognja, kakor si slišal ti, in je živelo?
34 Or hath God tried to go in to take to Himself, a nation from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors — according to all that Jehovah your God hath done to you, in Egypt, before your eyes?
Mar je Bog poskušal iti in si vzeti narod iz srede drugega naroda, s preizkušnjami, znamenji, čudeži, vojno, mogočno roko, z iztegnjenim laktom in z velikimi strahotami, glede na vse, kar je Gospod, vaš Bog, storil za vas v Egiptu, pred vašimi očmi?
35 Thou, thou hast been shewn [it], to know that Jehovah He [is] God; there is none else besides Him.
Tebi je bilo pokazano, da bi lahko vedel, da Gospod, on je Bog. Tam ni nobenega drugega poleg njega.
36 'From the heavens He hath caused thee to hear His voice, to instruct thee, and on earth He hath shewed thee His great fire, and His words thou hast heard out of the midst of the fire.
Iz nebes ti je dal, da slišiš njegov glas, da bi te lahko poučil, in na zemlji ti je pokazal svoj velik ogenj in ti slišiš njegove besede iz srede ognja.
37 'And because that He hath loved thy fathers, He doth also fix on their seed after them, and doth bring thee out, in His presence, by His great power, from Egypt:
Ker je vzljubil tvoje očete, zato je izbral tvoje seme za njimi in te privedel ven v njegovem pogledu, s svojo mogočno močjo iz Egipta,
38 to dispossess nations greater and stronger than thou, from thy presence, to bring thee in to give to thee their land — an inheritance, as [at] this day.
da izpred tebe napodi narode, večje in mogočnejše kakor si ti, da te privede noter, da ti da njihovo deželo v dediščino, kakor je to ta dan.
39 'And thou hast known to-day, and hast turned [it] back unto thy heart, that Jehovah He [is] God, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath — there is none else;
Vedi torej danes in preudari to v svojem srcu, da Gospod, on je Bog, v nebesih zgoraj in na zemlji spodaj. Tam ni nobenega drugega.
40 and thou hast kept His statutes and His commands which I am commanding thee to-day, so that it is well to thee, and to thy sons after thee, and so that thou prolongest days on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — all the days.'
Ohranjal boš torej njegove zakone in njegove zapovedi, ki ti jih danes zapovedujem, da bo lahko šlo dobro s teboj in s tvojimi otroki za teboj in da lahko podaljšaš svoje dneve na zemlji, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, na veke.«
41 Then Moses separateth three cities beyond the Jordan, towards the sun-rising,
Potem je Mojzes oddvojil tri mesta na tej strani Jordana proti sončnemu vzhodu,
42 for the fleeing thither of the man-slayer, who slayeth his neighbour unknowingly, and he is not hating him heretofore, and he hath fled unto one of these cities, and he hath lived:
da bi ubijalec, ki bi nenamerno ubil svojega bližnjega in ga v preteklih časih ni sovražil, lahko pobegnil tja in da bežeč v eno izmed teh mest lahko ostane živ.
43 Bezer, in the wilderness, in the land of the plain, of the Reubenite; and Ramoth, in Gilead, of the Gadite; and Golan, in Bashan, of the Manassahite.
Namreč Becer v divjini, na ravnini dežele Rubenovcev in Ramót v Gileádu od Gádovcev in Golán v Bašánu od Manásejcev.
44 And this [is] the law which Moses hath set before the sons of Israel;
To je postava, ki jo je Mojzes postavil pred Izraelove otroke.
45 these [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses hath spoken unto the sons of Israel, in their coming out of Egypt,
To so pričevanja, zakoni in sodbe, ki jih je Mojzes govoril Izraelovim otrokom, po tem, ko so izšli iz Egipta,
46 beyond the Jordan, in the valley over-against Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel have smitten, in their coming out of Egypt,
na tej strani Jordana, v dolini nasproti Bet Peórja, v deželi amoréjskega kralja Sihóna, ki je prebival v Hešbónu, ki so ga Mojzes in Izraelovi otroci udarili, potem ko so izšli iz Egipta.
47 and they possess his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan, [towards] the sun-rising;
Vzeli so v last njegovo deželo in deželo bašánskega kralja Oga, dveh kraljev Amoréjcev, ki sta bila na tej strani Jordana, proti sončnemu vzhodu;
48 from Aroer, which [is] by the edge of the brook Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which [is] Hermon —
od Aroêrja, ki je ob bregu reke Arnón, celo do gore Sion, ki je Hermon
49 and all the plain beyond the Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
in vso ravnino na tej strani Jordana proti vzhodu, celo do morja ravnine, pod izviri Pisge.
