Ponovljeni Zakon 1

1 Ovo su rijeèi koje govori Mojsije svemu Izrailju s onu stranu Jordana, u pustinji, u polju prema Crvenome Moru, izmeðu Farana i Tofola i Lovona i Asirota i Dizava,

These are the words, which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan, in the plain wilderness, over against the Red Sea, between Pharan and Thophel and Laban and Haseroth, where there is very much gold:

2 Jedanaest dana hoda od Horiva preko gore Sira do Kadis-Varnije.

Eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Cadesbarne.

3 A bješe èetrdesete godine prvi dan jedanaestoga mjeseca, kad Mojsije kaza sinovima Izrailjevijem sve što mu bješe zapovjedio Gospod da im kaže,

In the fortieth year, the eleventh month, the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel all that the Lord had commanded him to say to them:

4 Pošto ubi Siona cara Amorejskoga koji življaše u Esevonu, i Oga cara Vasanskoga koji življaše u Astarotu i u Edrainu.

After that he had slain Sehon king of the Amorrhites, who dwelt in Hesebon: and Og king of Basan who abode in Astaroth, and in Edrai,

5 S onu stranu Jordana u zemlji Moavskoj poèe Mojsije kazivati ovaj zakon govoreæi:

Beyond the Jordan in the land of Moab. And Moses began to expound the law, and to say:

6 Gospod Bog naš reèe nam na Horivu govoreæi: dosta ste bili na ovoj gori.

The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: You have stayed long enough in this mountain:

7 Obrnite se i podignite se i idite ka gori Amorejskoj i u svu okolinu njezinu, u ravnice i u brda i u doline, i na jug i na bregove morske, u zemlju Hanansku i na Livan i do rijeke velike, rijeke Efrata.

Turn you, and come to the mountain of the Amorrhites, and to the other places that are next to it, the plains and the hills and the vales towards the south, and by the sea shore, the land of the Chanaanites, and of Libanus, as far as the great river Euphrates.

8 Eto, dao sam vam zemlju, uðite u nju, i uzmite zemlju, za koju se zakleo Gospod ocima vašim, Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu, da æe im je dati i sjemenu njihovu nakon njih.

Behold, said he, I have delivered it to you: go in and possess it, concerning which the Lord swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them, and to their seed after them.

9 I rekoh vam onda govoreæi: ne mogu vas nositi sam.

And I said to you at that time:

10 Gospod Bog vaš umnožio vas je, i eto vas danas ima mnogo kao zvijezda nebeskih.

I alone am not able to bear you: for the Lord your God hath multiplied you, and you are this day as the stars of heaven, for multitude.

11 Gospod Bog otaca vaših da vas umnoži još tisuæu puta više, i da vas blagoslovi kao što vam je kazao.

(The Lord God of your fathers add to this number many thousands, and bless you as he hath spoken.)

12 Kako bih ja sam nosio muke vaše, bremena vaša i raspre vaše?

I alone am not able to bear your business, and the charge of you and your differences.

13 Dajte iz plemena svojih ljude mudre i vješte i poznate da vam ih postavim za starješine.

Let me have from among you wise and understanding men, and such whose conversation is approved among your tribes, that I may appoint them your rulers.

14 Tada mi odgovoriste i rekoste: dobro je da se uèini što si kazao.

Then you answered me: The thing is good which thou meanest to do.

15 Tada uzevši starješine od plemena vaših, ljude mudre i poznate, postavih vam ih za starješine, za tisuænike i stotinare i pedesetare i desetare i upravitelje po plemenima vašim.

And I took out of your tribes men wise and honourable, and appointed them rulers, tribunes, and centurions, and officers over fifties, and over tens, who might teach you all things.

16 I zapovjedih onda sudijama vašim govoreæi: saslušavajte raspre meðu braæom svojom i sudite pravo izmeðu èovjeka i brata njegova i izmeðu došljaka koji je s njim.

And I commanded them, saying: Hear them, and judge that which is just: whether he be one of your country, or a stranger.

17 Ne gledajte ko je ko na sudu, saslušajte i maloga i velikoga, ne bojte se nikoga, jer je sud Božji, a stvar koja bi vam bila teška iznesite preda me da je èujem.

There shall be no difference of persons, you shall hear the little as well as the great: neither shall you respect any man’s person, because it is the judgment of God. And if any thing seem hard to you, refer it to me, and I will hear it.

18 I zapovjedih vam onda sve što æete èiniti.

And I commanded you all things that you were to do.

19 Potom otišavši od Horiva prijeðosmo svu onu pustinju veliku i strašnu, koju vidjeste, iduæi ka gori Amorejskoj, kao što nam zapovjedi Gospod Bog naš, i doðosmo do Kadis-Varnije.

And departing from Horeb, we passed through the terrible and vast wilderness, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorrhite, as the Lord our God had commanded us. And when we were come into Cadesbarne,

20 Tada vam rekoh: doðoste do gore Amorejske, koju nam daje Gospod Bog naš.

I said to you: You are come to the mountain of the Amorrhite, which the Lord our God will give to us.

21 Gle, dao ti je Gospod Bog tvoj tu zemlju, idi i uzmi je, kao što ti je rekao Gospod Bog otaca tvojih; ne boj se, i ne plaši se.

See the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord our God hath spoken to thy fathers: fear not, nor be any way discouraged.

22 A vi svi doðoste k meni i rekoste: da pošljemo ljude pred sobom da nam uhode zemlju, i da nam jave za put kojim æemo iæi i za gradove u koje æemo doæi,

And you came all to me, and said: Let us send men who may view the land, and bring us word what way we shall go up, and to what cities we shall go.

23 I to mi bi po volji, i uzeh izmeðu vas dvanaest ljudi, iz svakoga plemena po jednoga;

And because the saying pleased me, I sent of you twelve men, one of every tribe:

24 I oni se podigoše i izašavši na goru doðoše do potoka Eshola, i uhodiše zemlju;

Who, when they had set forward and had gone up to the mountains, came as far as the valley of the cluster: and having viewed the land,

25 I nabraše roda one zemlje i donesoše nam, i javiše nam govoreæi: dobra je zemlja, koju nam daje Gospod Bog naš.

Taking of the fruits thereof, to shew its fertility, they brought them to us, and said: The land is good, which the Lord our God will give us.

26 Ali ne htjeste iæi nego se suprotiste zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega.

And you would not go up, but being incredulous to the word of the Lord our God,

27 I vikaste u šatorima svojim govoreæi: mrzi na nas Gospod, zato nas izvede iz zemlje Misirske, da nas da u ruke Amorejcima i da nas potre.

You murmured in your tents, and said: The Lord hateth us, and therefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, that he might deliver us into the hand of the Amorrhite, and destroy us.

28 Kuda da idemo? braæa naša uplašiše srce naše govoreæi: narod je veæi i viši od nas, gradovi su veliki i ograðeni do neba, pa i sinove Enakove vidjesmo ondje.

Whither shall we go up? the messengers have terrified our hearts, saying: The multitude is very great, and taller than we: the cities are great, and walled up to the sky, we have seen the sons of the Enacims there.

29 A ja vam rekoh: ne plašite se i ne bojte ih se.

And I said to you: Fear not, neither be ye afraid of them:

30 Gospod Bog vaš, koji ide pred vama, on æe se biti za vas onako kako vam je uèinio u Misiru na vaše oèi,

The Lord God, who is your leader, himself will fight for you, as he did in Egypt in the sight of all.

31 I u pustinji, gdje si vidio kako te je nosio Gospod Bog tvoj, kao što èovjek nosi sina svojega, cijelijem putem kojim ste išli dokle doðoste do ovoga mjesta.

And in the wilderness (as thou hast seen) the Lord thy God hath carried thee, as a man is wont to carry his little son, all the way that you have come, until you came to this place.

32 Ali zato opet ne vjerovaste Gospodu Bogu svojemu,

And yet for all this you did not believe the Lord your God,

33 Koji iðaše pred vama putem tražeæi vam mjesto gdje biste stali, iðaše noæu u ognju da vam svijetli putem kojim biste išli, a danju u oblaku.

Who went before you in the way, and marked out the place, wherein you should pitch your tents, in the night shewing you the way by fire, and in the day by the pillar of a cloud.

34 I èu Gospod glas rijeèi vaših, i razgnjevi se i zakle se govoreæi:

And when the Lord had heard the voice of your words, he was angry and swore, and said:

35 Nijedan od ovoga roda zloga neæe vidjeti ove dobre zemlje, za koju se zakleh da æu dati vašim ocima,

Not one of the men of this wicked generation shall see the good land, which I promised with an oath to your fathers:

36 Osim Haleva sina Jefonijina; on æe je vidjeti, i njemu æu dati zemlju po kojoj je išao, i sinovima njegovijem, jer se sasvijem držao Gospoda.

Except Caleb the son of Jephone: for he shall see it, and to him I will give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath followed the Lord.

37 Pa i na mene se razgnjevi Gospod s vas; i reèe: ni ti neæeš uæi onamo.

Neither is his indignation against the people to be wondered at, since the Lord was angry with me also on your account, and said: Neither shalt thou go in thither.

38 Isus sin Navin, koji te služi, on æe uæi onamo, njega utvrdi; jer æe je on razdijeliti sinovima Izrailjevijem u našljedstvo.

But Josue the son of Nun, thy minister, he shall go in for thee: exhort and encourage him, and he shall divide the land by lot to Israel.

39 A djeca vaša, za koju rekoste da æe postati roblje, sinovi vaši, koji danas ne znaju ni šta je dobro ni šta je zlo, oni æe uæi onamo, i njima æu je dati i oni æe je naslijediti.

Your children, of whom you said that they should be led away captives, and your sons who know not this day the difference of good and evil, they shall go in: and to them I will give the land, and they shall possess it.

40 Vi pak vratite se i idite u pustinju k Crvenome Moru.

But return you and go into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.

41 A vi odgovoriste i rekoste mi: sagriješismo Gospodu; iæi æemo i biæemo se sasvijem kako nam je zapovjedio Gospod Bog naš. I uzevši svaki svoje oružje htjeste izaæi na goru.

And you answered me: We have sinned against the Lord: we will go up and fight, as the Lord our God hath commanded. And when you went ready armed unto the mountain,

42 A Gospod mi reèe: kaži im: ne idite i ne bijte se, jer nijesam meðu vama, da ne izginete pred neprijateljima svojim.

The Lord said to me: Say to them: Go not up, and fight not, for I am not with you: lest you fall before your enemies.

43 I ja vam rekoh; ali ne poslušaste, nego se oprijeste zapovijesti Gospodnjoj, i navaliste na goru.

I spoke, and you hearkened not: but resisting the commandment of the Lord, and swelling with pride, you went up into the mountain.

44 Tada izidoše pred vas Amoreji, koji sjeðahu u onoj planini, i pognaše vas kao što èine pèele, i pobiše vas na Siru pa do Orme.

And the Amorrhite that dwelt in the mountains coming out, and meeting you, chased you, as bees do: and made slaughter of you from Seir as far as Horma.

45 I vrativši se plakaste pred Gospodom, ali Gospod ne posluša glasa vašega niti okrete uha svojega k vama.

And when you returned and wept before the Lord, he heard you not, neither would he yield to; your voice.

46 I ostadoste u Kadisu dugo vremena dokle ondje stajaste.

So you abode in Cadesbarne a long time.
