< Piektā Mozus 8 >
1 Visus tos baušļus, ko es tev šodien pavēlu, tev būs turēt un tos darīt, lai jūs dzīvojat un topat vairoti un nākat un iemantojat to zemi, ko Tas Kungs jūsu tēviem zvērējis.
“You must faithfully obey all the commandments that I am giving you today. If you do that, you will live [a long time], you will become very numerous, and you will occupy the land that Yahweh solemnly promised your ancestors that he would give [to you].
2 Un tev būs pieminēt visu to ceļu, pa kuru Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi tuksnesī vadījis šos četrdesmit gadus, ka Viņš tevi pazemotu un pārbaudītu, ka Viņš zinātu, kas ir tavā sirdī, vai tu Viņa baušļus turēsi, vai ne.
And do not forget how Yahweh our God led us as we traveled through the desert during these past 40 years. He [caused you to have many problems/difficulties], because he wanted to cause you to realize that you needed to trust him and not yourselves. And he wanted to test you, to find out what you intended to do [IDM], whether you would obey his commandments or not.
3 Un Viņš tevi pazemoja un tev lika izsalkt un tevi ēdināja ar mannu, ko ne tu pazini, ne tavi tēvi nebija pazinuši, lai Viņš tev dotu atzīt, ka cilvēks nedzīvo no maizes vien, bet ka cilvēks dzīvo no visa, kas iziet no Tā Kunga mutes.
So he caused you to have/experience difficulties. He allowed you to become hungry. Then he gave you manna [food from heaven], food that you and your ancestors had never eaten before. He did that to teach you that people need food [for their bodies]; but [they also need food for their spirits, which comes from paying attention to] everything that Yahweh says [MTY].
4 Tavas drēbes tavā mugurā nav nodilušas, un tava kāja nav uztūkusi šinīs četrdesmit gados.
During those 40 years [of walking through the desert], our clothes did not wear out and our feet did not swell [from walking a very long way through the desert].
5 Tad nu atzīsti savā sirdī, ka Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi pārmāca, itin kā kāds savu dēlu pārmāca.
Do not forget that Yahweh our God disciplines us, like parents discipline their children.
6 Un turi Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, baušļus, staigādams pa Viņa ceļiem un bīsties Viņu.
“Do obey the commandments of Yahweh our God, and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and revere him.
7 Jo Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi, ved uz labu zemi, uz zemi, kur ir upes, avoti un ūdeņi, kas rodas ielejās un kalnos,
He is about to bring you into a good/fertile land, which has streams which flow down from the hills and pour/flow out of springs in the valleys.
8 Uz zemi, kur ir kvieši un mieži un vīna koki un vīģes koki un granātu koki, uz zemi, kur ir eļļas koki un medus,
It is a land on which wheat and barley grow, a land where there are fig trees and pomegranates, and a land where there are olive trees and honey.
9 Uz zemi, kur maizi ēdīsi bez trūkuma, kur tev nekā netrūks, uz zemi, kur akmeņi ir dzelzs, no kuras kalniem tu izcirtīsi varu.
It is a land where there will be plenty of food for you, where you will (not lack anything/have everything that you need) [LIT], a land which has iron [ore] in its rocks and from which you can dig copper [ore] from its hills.
10 Kad tu nu ēdīsi un būsi paēdis, tad tev būs teikt To Kungu, savu Dievu, par to labo zemi, ko Viņš tev devis.
[Every day] you will eat until your stomachs are full, and you will thank Yahweh our God for the fertile/good land that he has given you.
11 Sargies, ka tu neaizmirsti To Kungu, savu Dievu, bet turi Viņa baušļus un Viņa tiesas un Viņa likumus, ko es tev šodien pavēlu;
But, [when that happens], be sure not to forget Yahweh our God by disobeying his commandments and rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.
12 Ka tu, kad būsi ēdis un paēdis un labus namus uztaisījis un iekš tiem dzīvosi,
When your stomachs are full [every day], and when you have built good houses and are living in them,
13 Kad tavi vērši un sīkie lopi būs vairojušies un tavs sudrabs un zelts vairojies un viss, kas tev pieder, būs vairojies -
and when the number of your cattle and sheep has greatly increased, and when you have accumulated a large amount of silver and gold, and the amount of all your other possessions has greatly increased,
14 Ka tava sirds tad nelepojās, un tu neaizmirsti To Kungu, savu Dievu, kas tevi izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes, no tā vergu nama.
be sure that you do not become proud [IDM] and forget Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt and brought them out from there.
15 Kas tevi vadījis tai lielā un briesmīgā tuksnesī, kur bija dedzīgas čūskas un skorpioni un izkaltušas vietas bez ūdens, kas tev lika izvirst ūdenim no cietas klints,
Do not forget that he led them [while they traveled] through that huge and terrible desert, where there were poisonous snakes and scorpions. And do not forget that where the ground was very dry and there was no water, he caused water to flow for them out of (solid/very hard) rock.
16 Kas tuksnesī tevi ēdināja ar mannu, ko tavi tēvi nebija pazinuši, ka Viņš tevi pazemotu un pārbaudītu, un pēcgalā tev darītu labu.
Do not forget that in that desert he gave your ancestors manna to eat, food that they had never eaten before. He [caused them to have/experience many problems/difficulties], because he wanted them to realize that they needed to trust him and not themselves. And he wanted to test them, to find out whether they intended to obey him, in order that when [those difficulties] ended, he would do many good things for them.
17 Tad nesaki savā sirdī: mans spēks un manas rokas stiprums man ir devis šo mantu.
Be sure that you do not think to yourselves, ‘I have acquired all these things by my own power [MTY] and ability.’
18 Bet piemini To Kungu savu Dievu, ka Viņš ir Tas, kas tev dod spēku, mantu dabūt, gribēdams Savu derību apstiprināt, ko Viņš zvērējis taviem tēviem, kā tas šodien ir.
Do not forget that it is Yahweh our God who has enabled you to become rich. He does this because he faithfully does what he solemnly promised our ancestors that he would do.
19 Bet ja tu aizmirsīsi To Kungu, savu Dievu, un dzīsies pakaļ citiem dieviem, un tiem kalposi un priekš tiem metīsies zemē, tad es šodien pret jums apliecināju, ka jūs nīcin iznīksiet.
“solemnly warn you that if you forget Yahweh our God and turn to other gods and start to serve them and worship them, you will certainly be destroyed.
20 Kā tās tautas, ko Tas Kungs jūsu priekšā iznīcina, tāpat jūs iznīksiet, tāpēc ka jūs neesat klausījuši Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsij.
If you do not obey Yahweh our God, he will certainly destroy you just like he will destroy the people-groups that you will fight against.”
