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 spake unto all Israel, over the Jordan, —in the wilderness in the waste plain over against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban and Hazeroth and Di-zahab:

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

eleven days from Horeb, by way of Mount Seir, as far as Kadesh-barnea.

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

And it came to pass, in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, that Moses spake unto the sons of Israel, according to all that Yahweh had given him in charge for them;

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

after he had smitten Sihon, king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, —and Og, king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth, in Edrei:

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

over the Jordan, in the land of Moab, did Moses take in hand to expound this law, saying: —

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

Yahweh our God, spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Long enough, have ye dwelt 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 ye and set yourselves forward, and enter into the hill country of the Amorites, and into all the places near, in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowland, and in the south, and in the coast of the sea, —the land of Canaan and the Lebanon, as far as the great river, the 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.

See! I have set before you the land, —enter and possess the land, which, Yahweh sware unto your fathers to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them, and unto their seed, after them.

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

So I spake unto you, at that time saying, I am unable, by myself, to carry you.

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

Yahweh your God hath multiplied you, and here ye are to-day, like the stars of the heavens for multitude.

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

Yahweh, the God of your fathers, be adding unto you the like of you, a thousand times, —and bless you, as he hath spoken unto you!

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

How should I carry by myself the fatigue of you and the burden of you and your controversies?

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

Set forth for you—men wise and discerning, and known to your tribes, —that I may appoint them to be heads over you.

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

And ye answered me, —and said, Good, is the word which thou hast spoken to be done.

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.

So I took heads for your tribes wise men and known, and placed them as heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers for your tribes.

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 charged your judges, at that time, saying, —Ye are to hear between your brethren and shall judge righteously, between each man and his brother and his sojourner.

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.

Ye shall not take note of faces in judgment—so the small as the great, shall ye hear, ye shall not shrink from the face of any man, for judgment, unto God, belongeth, —but the thing which is too hard for you, shall ye bring near unto me, and I will hear it.

18 I zapovjedih vam onda sve što æete èiniti.

So I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should 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 when we brake up from Horeb, we came through all that great and terrible desert which ye saw, by way of the hill-country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us, —and we entered in as far as Kadesh-barnea.

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

Then said I unto you, —Ye are come in as far as the hill-country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto 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 thou—Yahweh thy God hath set before thee the land, —go up—take possession as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee, do not fear, neither be dismayed.

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 ye came near unto me all of you, and said Let us send men before us, that they may search out for us the land, —and bring us back word, the way by which we must go up, and the cities whereinto we must enter,

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

And the thing, was good in mine eyes, —so I took from among you twelve men, one man for each tribe.

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

And they turned and went up the hill-country, and entered in as far as the ravine of Eshcol, and explored it.

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

And they took in their hand of the fruit of the country, and bare it down unto us, and brought us back word, and said, Good is the land, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

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

Nevertheless ye were not willing to go up, —but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, your 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.

and murmured in your tents and said, Because Yahweh hated us, hath he brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, —to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to 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, are, we, to go up? Our own brethren, have made our heart melt saying—A people greater and taller than we, cities large and walled-up into the heavens, —yea, moreover sons of Anakim, have we seen there.

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

Then I said unto you, —Ye must not tremble, nor be 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,

Yahweh your God, who is going before you, he, will fight for you, —according to all that he did with you in Egypt, before your eyes;

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.

also in the desert which thou hast seen, where Yahweh thy God carried thee as a man will carry his son, throughout all the way that ye journeyed, until ye entered as far as, this place.

32 Ali zato opet ne vjerovaste Gospodu Bogu svojemu,

But in this thing, ye were putting no trust in Yahweh 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 was going before you in the way—to search out for you a place, where ye might encamp, —in the fire by night, that ye might get sight of the way wherein ye should go, and in the cloud, by day.

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

And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, —and was wroth and sware—saying:

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

Surely, not one of these men, this wicked generation, —shall see the good land, which I sware to give unto 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.

saving Caleb son of Jephunneh, he, shall see it, and unto him, will I give the land through which he hath trodden, and unto his sons, —because he hath wholly followed Yahweh.

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

Even with me, did Yahweh show himself angry, for your sakes, saying, —Even thou, shalt not enter therein.

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

Joshua son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he, shall enter in thither, him, strengthen thou, for he, shall cause Israel to inherit it.

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.

And your little ones, of whom ye said they should become, a prey, and your sons who to-day know not good and evil, they, shall enter in thither, —and unto them, will I give it, and they, shall possess it.

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

But as for you, turn ye, for your part, —and set forward towards the desert, by 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.

Then responded ye and said unto me—We have sinned against Yahweh, We, ourselves, will go up, and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God hath commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye foolishly went up towards the hill-country.

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

Then said Yahweh unto me—Say unto them Ye shall not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, —lest ye should be smitten before your enemies.

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

So I spake unto you howbeit ye hearkened not, —but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, and presumptuously went up the hill-country.

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.

Then came forth the Amorites who were dwelling in that country, to meet you, and they chased you, as do, bees; and struck you down in Seir, as far as Hormah.

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

So then ye returned and wept before Yahweh, —but Yahweh hearkened not unto your voice, nor gave ear unto you.

46 I ostadoste u Kadisu dugo vremena dokle ondje stajaste.

And ye abode in Kadesh many days, —how many were the days that ye abode [there]!
