Deuteronomy 9

1 'Hear, Israel, thou art passing over to-day the Jordan, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself; cities great and fenced in the heavens;

Èuj, Izrailju! ti danas prelaziš preko Jordana da uðeš i naslijediš narode veæe i jaèe od sebe, gradove velike i ograðene do neba;

2 a people great and tall, sons of Anakim, whom thou — thou hast known, (and thou — thou hast heard: Who doth station himself before sons of Anak?)

Velik i visok narod, sinove Enakove, koje znaš i za koje si slušao: ko ce odoljeti sinovima Enakovijem?

3 and thou hast known to-day, that Jehovah thy God [is] He who is passing over before thee — a fire consuming; He doth destroy them, and He doth humble them before thee, and thou hast dispossessed them, and destroyed them hastily, as Jehovah hath spoken to thee.

Znaj dakle danas da je Gospod Bog tvoj, koji ide pred tobom, oganj koji spaljuje; on æe ih istrijebiti i on æe ih oboriti pred tobom, i izagnaæeš ih i istrijebiti brzo, kao što ti je kazao Gospod.

4 'Thou dost not speak in thy heart (in Jehovah thy God's driving them away from before thee), saying, For my righteousness hath Jehovah brought me in to possess this land, seeing for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah dispossessing them from thy presence;

Kad ih Gospod Bog tvoj otjera ispred tebe, nemoj da reèeš u srcu svom: za pravdu moju uvede me Gospod u ovu zemlju da je naslijedim; jer Gospod tjera one narode ispred tebe za nevaljalstvo njihovo!

5 not for thy righteousness, and for the uprightness of thy heart, art thou going in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah thy God dispossessing them from before thee; and in order to establish the word which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;

Ne ideš za pravdu svoju ni za èistotu srca svojega da naslijediš tu zemlju; nego za nevaljalstvo tijeh naroda Gospod Bog tvoj tjera ih ispred tebe, i da održi rijeè za koju se zakleo ocima tvojim, Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu.

6 and thou hast known, that not for thy righteousness is Jehovah thy God giving to thee this good land to possess it, for a people stiff of neck thou [art].

Znaj dakle da ti Gospod Bog tvoj ne daje te dobre zemlje za pravdu tvoju da je naslijediš, jer si tvrdovrat narod.

7 'Remember — do not forget — that [with] which thou hast made Jehovah thy God wroth in the wilderness; even from the day that thou hast come out of the land of Egypt till your coming in unto this place rebels ye have been with Jehovah;

Pamti i ne zaboravi kako si gnjevio Gospoda Boga svojega u pustinji; od onoga dana kad izidoste iz zemlje Misirske pa dokle doðoste na ovo mjesto, nepokorni bijaste Gospodu.

8 even in Horeb ye have made Jehovah wroth, and Jehovah sheweth Himself angry against you — to destroy you.

I kod Horiva razgnjeviste Gospoda, i od gnjeva šæaše vas Gospod da istrijebi.

9 'In my going up into the mount to receive the tables of stone (tables of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you), and I abide in the mount forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk;

Kad izidoh na goru da primim ploèe kamene, ploèe zavjeta, koji s vama uèini Gospod, tada stajah na gori èetrdeset dana i èetrdeset noæi hljeba ne jeduæi ni vode pijuæi.

10 and Jehovah giveth unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and on them according to all the words which Jehovah hath spoken with you in the mount, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly.

I dade mi Gospod dvije ploèe kamene, ispisane prstom Gospodnjim, na kojima bijahu rijeèi sve koje vam izgovori Gospod na gori isred ognja na dan zbora vašega.

11 'And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, Jehovah hath given unto me the two tables of stone — tables of the covenant,

Poslije èetrdeset dana i èetrdeset noæi dade mi Gospod dvije ploèe kamene, ploèe zavjetne.

12 and Jehovah saith unto me, Rise, go down, hasten from this, for thy people hath done corruptly, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt; they have turned aside hastily out of the way which I have commanded them — they have made to themselves a molten thing!

I reèe mi Gospod: ustani, siði brže odavde; jer se pokvari narod tvoj koji si izveo iz Misira, siðoše brzo s puta koji im zapovjedih, i naèiniše sebi liven lik.

13 'And Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and lo, a people stiff of neck it [is];

Još mi reèe Gospod govoreæi: pogledah ovaj narod, i eto je narod tvrda vrata.

14 desist from Me, and I destroy them, and blot out their name from under the heavens, and I make thee become a nation more mighty and numerous than it.

Pusti me da ih istrijebim i ime njihovo zatrem pod nebom; a od tebe æu uèiniti narod jaèi i veæi nego što je ovaj.

15 'And I turn, and come down from the mount, and the mount is burning with fire, and the two tables of the covenant on my two hands,

I ja se vratih i siðoh s gore, a gora ognjem goraše, i dvije ploèe zavjetne bijahu mi u ruku.

16 and I see, and lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah your God; ye have made to yourselves a molten calf; ye have turned aside hastily out of the way which Jehovah hath commanded you.

I pogledah, a to zgriješiste Gospodu Bogu svojemu salivši sebi tele, i brzo siðoste s puta koji vam bješe zapovjedio Gospod.

17 'And I lay hold on the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and break them before your eyes,

Tada uzeh one dvije ploèe i bacih ih iz ruku svojih, i razbih ih pred vama.

18 and I throw myself before Jehovah, as at first, forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk, because of all your sins which ye have sinned, by doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry.

Potom padoh i ležah pred Gospodom kao prije, èetrdeset dana i èetrdeset noæi, hljeba ne jeduæi ni vode pijuæi, radi svijeh grijeha vaših, kojima se ogriješiste uèinivši što je zlo pred Gospodom i razgnjevivši ga.

19 'For I have been afraid because of the anger and the fury with which Jehovah hath been wroth against you, to destroy you; and Jehovah doth hearken unto me also at this time.

Jer se bojah gnjeva i jarosti, kojom se bješe Gospod razljutio na vas da vas istrijebi; i usliši me Gospod i tada.

20 'And with Aaron hath Jehovah shewed himself very angry, to destroy him, and I pray also for Aaron at that time;

Bješe se Gospod i na Arona razgnjevio veoma da ga šæaše ubiti; ali se molih tada i za Arona.

21 and your sin, which ye have made — the calf — I have taken, and I burn it with fire, and beat it, grinding well till that it [is] small as dust, and I cast its dust unto the brook which is going down out of the mount.

I uzeh grijeh vaš koji uèiniste, tele, i sažegoh ga ognjem, i razbih ga i satrh ga u prah, i prosuh prah njegov u potok, koji teèe s one gore.

22 'And in Taberah, and in Massah, and in Kibroth-Hattaavah, ye have been making Jehovah wroth:

I u Taveri i u Masi i u Kivrot-Atavi gnjeviste Gospoda.

23 and in Jehovah's sending you from Kadesh-Barnea, saying, Go up, and possess the land which I have given to you, then ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God, and have not given credence to Him, nor hearkened to His voice;

I kad vas posla Gospod iz Kadis-Varnije govoreæi: idite i uzmite tu zemlju koju sam vam dao, opet se suprotiste rijeèi Gospoda Boga svojega, i ne vjerovaste mu i ne poslušaste glasa njegova.

24 rebels ye have been with Jehovah from the day of my knowing you.

Nepokorni bijaste Gospodu otkad vas poznah.

25 'And I throw myself before Jehovah, the forty days and the forty nights, as I had thrown myself, for Jehovah hath said — to destroy you;

Zato padoh i ležah pred Gospodom èetrdeset dana i èetrdeset noæi, jer bješe rekao Gospod da æe vas potrti.

26 and I pray unto Jehovah, and say, Lord Jehovah, destroy not Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou hast ransomed in Thy greatness; whom Thou hast brought out of Egypt with a strong hand;

I molih se Gospodu i rekoh: Gospode, Gospode! nemoj potrti naroda svojega i našljedstva svojega, koje si izbavio velièanstvom svojim, koje si izveo iz Misira krjepkom rukom.

27 be mindful of Thy servants, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, turn not unto the stiffness of this people, and unto its wickedness, and unto its sin;

Opomeni se sluga svojih Avrama, Isaka i Jakova, ne gledaj na tvrðu naroda ovoga, na nevaljalstvo njegovo i na grijehe njegove;

28 lest the land say from which Thou hast brought us out, Because of Jehovah's want of ability to bring them in unto the land of which He hath spoken to them, and because of His hating them, He brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness;

Da ne reku koji žive u zemlji odakle si nas izveo: nije ih mogao Gospod uvesti u zemlju koju im obeæa, ili mrzio je na njih, zato ih izvede da ih pobije u pustinji.

29 and they [are] Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou hast brought out by Thy great power, and by Thy stretched-out arm!

Jer su tvoj narod i tvoje našljedstvo, koje si izveo silom svojom velikom i mišicom svojom podignutom.
