< Ponovljeni Zakon 26 >

1 A kad uðeš u zemlju koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj u našljedstvo, i naslijediš je i naseliš se u njoj,
“And when you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you to possess, and when you will have obtained it and are living within it:
2 Uzmi prvina od svakoga voæa one zemlje, koje æeš prinositi od zemlje svoje koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje, i metnuvši u kotaricu idi na mjesto koje Gospod Bog tvoj izabere da ondje nastani ime svoje,
you shall take the first of all your crops, and place them in a basket, and you shall travel to the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may be invoked there.
3 I došavši k svešteniku koji bude onda reci mu: priznajem danas pred Gospodom Bogom tvojim da sam ušao u zemlju za koju se Gospod Bog zakleo ocima našim da æe nam je dati.
And you shall approach the priest who will be in those days, and you shall say to him: ‘I profess this day, before the Lord your God, that I have entered into the land about which he swore to our fathers that he would give it to us.’
4 A sveštenik neka uzme kotaricu iz tvoje ruke i metne je pred oltarom Gospoda Boga tvojega.
And the priest, taking up the basket from your hand, shall place it before the altar of the Lord your God.
5 Tada progovori i reci pred Gospodom Bogom svojim: otac moj bijaše siromah Sirin i siðe u Misir s malo èeljadi, i bi ondje došljak, pa posta narod velik i silan i obilan na broju.
And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘The Syrian pursued my father, who descended into Egypt, and he sojourned there in a very small number, and he increased into a great and strong nation and into an innumerable multitude.
6 Ali Misirci stadoše zlo postupati s nama, muèiše nas i udaraše na nas teške poslove.
And the Egyptians afflicted us, and they persecuted us, imposing upon us the most grievous burdens.
7 I mi zavapismo ka Gospodu Bogu otaca svojih, i Gospod èu glas naš, i pogleda na muku našu, na trud naš i na nevolju našu.
And we cried out to the Lord, the God of our fathers. He heard us, and he looked with favor upon our humiliation, and hardship, and distress.
8 I izvede nas Gospod iz Misira rukom krjepkom i mišicom podignutom, i strahotom velikom i znacima i èudesima.
And he led us away from Egypt, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, with a mighty terror, with signs and wonders.
9 I dovede nas na ovo mjesto, i dade nam zemlju ovu, zemlju u kojoj teèe mlijeko i med.
And he led us into this place, and he delivered to us the land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Zato sad evo donesoh prvine od roda ove zemlje koju si mi dao, Gospode. I ostavi ih pred Gospodom Bogom svojim, i pokloni se pred Gospodom Bogom svojim.
And because of this, I now offer the first fruits of the land which the Lord has given to me.’ And you shall leave them in the sight of the Lord your God, and you shall adore the Lord your God.
11 I veseli se svakim dobrom koje ti da Gospod Bog tvoj i domu tvojemu, ti i Levit i došljak koji je kod tebe.
And you shall feast on all the good things which the Lord your God will give to you and to your house: you, and the Levite, and the new arrival who is with you.
12 A kad daš sve desetke od dohodaka svojih treæe godine, koje je godina desetka, i daš Levitu, došljaku, siroti i udovici da jedu u mjestima tvojim i nasite se,
When you will have completed the tithing of all your crops, in the third year of tithes, you shall give it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan, and to the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be satisfied.
13 Onda reci pred Gospodom Bogom svojim: iznesoh iz doma svojega što je sveto, i dadoh Levitu i došljaku, siroti i udovici sasvijem po zapovijesti koju si mi zapovjedio; ne prestupih zapovijesti tvojih niti zaboravih;
And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘I have taken what was sanctified from my house, and I have given it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan and the widow, just as you have commanded me. I have not transgressed your commandments, nor have I forgotten your precepts.
14 Ne jedoh od toga u žalosti svojoj, niti uzeh od toga na potrebu neèistu, niti dadoh od toga na mrtvaca; slušah Gospoda Boga svojega, uèinih sve kako si mi zapovjedio.
I have not eaten from these things in my grief, nor have I separated them due to any kind of uncleanness, nor have I expended any of these things in funerals. I have obeyed the voice of the Lord my God, and I have done all things just as you have instructed me.
15 Pogledaj iz svetoga stana svojega s neba, i blagoslovi narod svoj Izrailja i zemlju koju si nam dao kao što si se zakleo ocima našim, zemlju u kojoj teèe mlijeko i med.
Look with favor from your sanctuary and from your lofty habitation amid the heavens, and bless your people Israel and the land which you have given to us, just as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.’
16 Danas ti Gospod Bog tvoj zapovijeda da izvršuješ ove uredbe i ove zakone. Pazi dakle i izvršuj ih od svega srca svojega i od sve duše svoje.
Today the Lord your God has instructed you to carry out these commandments and judgments, and to keep and fulfill them, with all your heart and with all your soul.
17 Danas si se zarekao Gospodu da æe ti biti Bog i da æeš iæi putovima njegovijem i držati uredbe njegove, i zapovijesti njegove i zakone njegove, i da æeš slušati glas njegov.
Today, you have chosen the Lord to be your God, so that you may walk in his ways, and keep his ceremonies and commandments and judgments, and obey his command.
18 A Gospod se tebi danas zarekao da æeš mu biti narod osobit, kao što ti je govorio, da bi držao sve zapovijesti njegove;
Today, the Lord has chosen you, so that you may be his particular people, just as he has spoken to you, and so that you may keep all his precepts,
19 I da æe te podignuti nad sve narode, koje je stvorio hvalom, imenom i slavom, da budeš narod svet Gospodu Bogu svojemu, kao što ti je govorio.
and so that he may cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which he has created, for the sake of his own praise and name and glory, in order that you may be a holy people for the Lord your God, just as he has spoken.”
