Ponovljeni Zakon 28
1 Ako dobro uzaslušaš glas Gospoda Boga svojega držeæi i tvoreæi sve zapovijesti njegove, koje ti ja danas zapovijedam, uzvisiæe te Gospod Bog tvoj više svijeh naroda na zemlji.
“If you do what Yahweh our God tells you to do and faithfully obey everything that I am today commanding you to do, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation on the earth.
2 I doæi æe na te svi ovi blagoslovi, i steæi æe ti se, ako uzaslušaš glas Gospoda Boga svojega.
If you obey Yahweh, this is what he will do to bless you:
3 Blagosloven æeš biti u gradu, i blagosloven æeš biti u polju,
He will bless everything that you do when you are in the cities and he will bless everything that you do when you are [working] in the fields.
4 Blagosloven æe biti plod utrobe tvoje, i plod zemlje tvoje i plod stoke tvoje, mlad goveda tvojih i stada ovaca tvojih.
He will bless you by giving you many children [IDM] and by giving you abundant crops, and plenty of cattle and sheep.
5 Blagoslovena æe biti kotarica tvoja i naæve tvoje.
He will bless you by causing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
6 Blagosloven æeš biti kad dolaziš i blagosloven æeš biti kad polaziš.
He will bless you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
7 Daæe ti Gospod neprijatelje tvoje koji ustanu na te da ih biješ; jednijem æe putem doæi na te, a na sedam æe putova bježati od tebe.
Yahweh will enable you to defeat [the armies of] your enemies; they will attack you from one direction, but they will run away from you in seven/many directions.
8 Gospod æe poslati blagoslov da bude s tobom u žitnicama tvojim i u svemu za što se prihvatiš rukom svojom, i blagosloviæe te u zemlji koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj.
Yahweh will bless you [by filling] your barns [with grain], and he will bless all the work that you do; he will bless you in the land that he is giving to you.
9 Postaviæe te Gospod da mu budeš narod svet, kao što ti se zakleo, ako uzdržiš zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega i uzideš putovima njegovijem.
“If you obey all the commandments that Yahweh our God [has given to you] and if you conduct your lives as he wants you to do, you will continue to be his people, which is what he promised.
10 I vidjeæe svi narodi na zemlji da se ime Gospodnje priziva na tebe, i bojaæe se tebe.
“When all the people-groups on the earth will realize that you belong to [MTY] Yahweh, and they will be afraid of you.
11 I uèiniæe Gospod da si obilan svakim dobrom, plodom utrobe svoje i plodom stoke svoje i plodom zemlje svoje na zemlji za koju se zakleo Gospod ocima tvojim da æe ti je dati.
“And Yahweh will cause you to prosper very much. He will give you many children [IDM], many cattle, and abundant crops in the land that he vowed to our ancestors that he would give to you.
12 Otvoriæe ti Gospod dobru riznicu svoju, nebo, da da dažd zemlji tvojoj na vrijeme, i blagosloviæe svako djelo ruku tvojih, te æeš davati u zajam mnogim narodima, a sam neæeš uzimati u zajam.
“When rain is needed, Yahweh will send it from where he stores it in the sky, and he will bless all your work, with the result that you [will be able to] lend money to many other nations, but you will not need to borrow [money from them].
13 I uèiniæe te Gospod Bog tvoj da si glava a ne rep, i biæeš samo gore a neæeš biti dolje, ako uzaslušaš zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega, koje ti danas ja zapovijedam, da ih držiš i tvoriš,
If you faithfully obey all of the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving you today, Yahweh will cause your nation to be a leader among the nations, not inferior to them; you will always be prosperous and never be needy/poor [IDM].
14 I ne otstupiš ni od jedne rijeèi koju vam danas ja zapovijedam, ni nadesno ni nalijevo, pristajuæi za drugim bogovima da im služiš.
[Yahweh will do all these things for you] if you do not turn away from [obeying] what I am commanding you today, and if you never worship or serve other gods.
15 Ali ako ne uzaslušaš glasa Gospoda Boga svojega da držiš i tvoriš sve zapovijesti njegove i uredbe njegove, koje ti ja danas zapovijedam, doæi æe na tebe sve ove kletve i stignuæe te.
But if you do not do what Yahweh our God is telling you to do, and if you do not faithfully obey all his rules and regulations that I am giving to you today, this is what he will do to curse you:
16 Proklet æeš biti u gradu, i proklet æeš biti u polju.
He will curse you when you are in the cities and he will curse you when you are [working] in the fields.
17 Prokleta æe biti kotarica tvoja i naæve tvoje.
He will curse you by not allowing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
18 Proklet æe biti plod utrobe tvoje i plod zemlje tvoje, mlad goveda tvojih i stada ovaca tvojih.
He will curse you by giving you only a few children [IDM], by causing you to have poor crops, and by not enabling you to have many cattle and sheep.
19 Proklet æeš biti kad dolaziš, i proklet æeš biti kad polaziš.
He will curse you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
20 Poslaæe Gospod na tebe kletvu, rasap i pogibao u svemu za što se prihvatiš rukom svojom i što uzradiš, dokle se ne zatreš i propadneš na preèac za zla djela svoja kojima si me odustavio.
If you do evil things and reject Yahweh, he will curse you by causing you to (be confused/not know what to do), and to be frustrated in everything that you do, until [your enemies] quickly and completely destroy you {you will be quickly and completely destroyed}.
21 Uèiniæe Gospod Bog tvoj da se prilijepi za te pomor, dokle te ne istrijebi sa zemlje u koju ideš da je naslijediš.
Yahweh will cause you to experience terrible diseases, until not one of you remains alive in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
22 Udariæe te Gospod suhom bolešæu i vruæicom, i groznicom i žegom i maèem, i sušom i medljikom, koje æe te goniti dokle ne propadneš.
Yahweh will strike/afflict you with diseases that shrivel your bodies, with fever, with inflammation/swelling. It will be extremely hot, and it will not rain. There will be scorching winds, and [Yahweh will cause] your crops to rot. All these things will strike you until you die.
23 A nebo nad glavom tvojom biæe od mjedi a zemlja pod tobom od gvožða.
There will be no rain [MET], [with the result that] the ground will be [as hard as] iron [MET].
24 Uèiniæe Gospod da dažd zemlji tvojoj bude prah i pepeo, koji æe padati s neba na te, dokle se ne istrijebiš.
Instead of sending rain, Yahweh will send strong winds to blow sand and dust over your land, until your land is ruined.
25 Daæe te Gospod Bog tvoj neprijateljima tvojim da te biju; jednijem æeš putem izaæi na njih, a na sedam æeš putova bježati od njih, i potucaæeš se po svijem carstvima na zemlji.
Yahweh will enable your enemies to defeat you; your soldiers will attack your enemies from one direction, but they will run away from your enemies in seven/many directions, and when the people of other nations see what is happening to you, they will say that it is horrible.
26 I mrtvo tijelo tvoje biæe hrana svijem pticama nebeskim i zvijerju zemaljskom, niti æe biti ko da ih poplaši.
[You will die], and birds and wild animals will come and eat your corpses, and there will not be anyone to scare/shoo them away.
27 Udariæe te Gospod prištevima Misirskim i šuljevima i šugom i krastama, da se neæeš moæi iscijeliti.
Yahweh will cause you to have boils on your skin, like he caused the people of Egypt to have [many years ago]. He will cause you to have tumors, open sores, and your skin will itch, and there will be nothing that will cure those diseases.
28 Udariæe te Gospod ludilom i šljepotom i bjesnilom.
Yahweh will cause [some of] you to become insane; he will cause some of you to become blind, and he will cause [some of] your minds to become confused.
29 I pipaæeš u podne, kao što pipa slijepac po mraku, niti æeš imati napretka na putovima svojim; i èiniæe ti se krivo i otimaæe se od tebe jednako, i neæe biti nikoga da ti pomože.
[Because you will not be able to see where you are going], at midday you will (grope/feel your way) around with your hands, like people do in the darkness. You will continually be oppressed and robbed, and no one will help you.
30 Oženiæeš se, a drugi æe spavati sa tvojom ženom; sazidaæeš kuæu, a neæeš sjedjeti u njoj; posadiæeš vinograd, a neæeš ga brati.
Some of you men will be engaged/promised to marry a young woman, but someone else will rape her. You will build houses, but you will never live in them. You will plant grapevines, but you will not eat the grapes; [someone else will eat them].
31 Vo tvoj klaæe se na tvoje oèi, a ti ga neæeš jesti; magarac tvoj oteæe se pred tobom, i neæe ti se vratiti; ovce tvoje daæe se neprijatelju tvojemu, i neæe biti nikoga da ti pomože.
Your enemies will butcher your cattle while you watch them, and you will not get any of the meat to eat. They will drag away your donkeys while you watch them do it, and they will not give them back to you. They will take away your sheep; and no one will help you [rescue them].
32 Sinovi tvoji i kæeri tvoje daæe se drugomu narodu, a oèi æe tvoje gledati i kapaæe jednako za njima, a neæe biti snage u ruci tvojoj.
While you watch, your sons and daughters will be given to foreigners to become their slaves. Every day you will very sadly watch for your children to return, but (you will watch in vain/they will never return).
33 Rod zemlje tvoje i svu muku tvoju izješæe narod, kojega ne znaš, i èiniæe ti krivo i gaziæe te jednako.
People from a foreign nation will take all the crops that you worked hard to produce, and they will constantly treat you harshly and cruelly [DOU].
34 I poludjeæeš od onoga što æeš gledati svojim oèima.
The result will be that all these terrible things that you see/experience will cause you to become insane.
35 Udariæe te Gospod prištem zlim u koljenima i na golijenima, da se neæeš moæi iscijeliti, od stopala noge tvoje do tjemena.
Yahweh will cause your legs [to be covered with] painful boils that cannot be healed, and you will have boils from the bottoms of your feet to the tops of your heads.
36 Odvešæe Gospod tebe i cara tvojega, kojega postaviš nad sobom, u narod kojega nijesi znao ti ni stari tvoji, i ondje æeš služiti drugim bogovima, drvetu i kamenu.
Yahweh will cause your king and the rest of you to be taken to another country, to a place in which you and your ancestors have never lived before, and there you will worship and serve gods that are made of wood or stone.
37 I biæeš èudo i prièa i potsmijeh svijem narodima, u koje te odvede Gospod.
When the people-groups in nearby countries see what has happened to you, they will be shocked/horrified; they will make fun [DOU] of you.
38 Mnogo æeš sjemena iznijeti u polje, a malo æeš sabrati, jer æe ga izjesti skakavci.
You will plant plenty of seeds in your fields, but you will reap only a small harvest, because locusts will eat the crops.
39 Vinograde æeš saditi i radiæeš ih, a neæeš piti vina niti æeš ih brati, jer æe izjesti crvi.
You will plant grapevines and take care of them, but you will not pick any grapes to make wine, because worms will eat the vines.
40 Imaæeš maslina po svijem krajevima svojim, ali se neæeš uljem namazati, jer æe opasti masline tvoje.
Olive trees will grow everywhere in your land, but you will not get any olive oil to rub on your skin because the olives will drop [on the ground before they are ripe].
41 Rodiæeš sinove i kæeri, ali neæe biti tvoji; jer æe otiæi u ropstvo.
You will have sons and daughters, but they will not stay with you, because they will be captured and taken away.
42 Sve voæe tvoje i rod zemlje tvoje izješæe bube.
Swarms of locusts/insects will eat your crops and [the leaves of] all your trees.
43 Stranac koji je kod tebe popeæe se nada te visoko, a ti æeš siæi dolje veoma nisko.
Foreigners who live in your land will become more and more [powerful], and you will become less and less [powerful].
44 On æe ti davati u zajam, a ti neæeš njemu davati u zajam; on æe postati glava, a ti æeš postati rep.
They will [have money to] lend to you, but you will not [have any money to] lend to them. They will be superior [IDM] to you, and you will be inferior to them [IDM].
45 I doæi æe na te sve ove kletve i goniæe te i stizaæe te, dokle se ne istrijebiš, jer nijesi slušao glasa Gospoda Boga svojega i držao zapovijesti njegove i uredbe njegove, koje ti je zapovjedio.
“You will experience all these disasters, and you will continue to experience them you until you are destroyed, if you do not do what Yahweh your God told you to do, and do not obey all the rules and regulations that he gave to you.
46 I one æe biti znak i èudo na tebi i na sjemenu tvojemu dovijeka.
“These disasters will warn [DOU] you and your descendants forever [about what happens to groups who disobey Yahweh].
47 Jer nijesi služio Bogu svojemu radosna i vesela srca u svakom obilju.
“Because Yahweh blessed you abundantly in many ways, you should have served him very joyfully [DOU], but you did not do that.
48 I služiæeš neprijatelju svojemu, kojega æe Gospod poslati na tebe, u gladi i u žeði, u golotinji i u svakoj oskudici; i metnuæe ti gvozden jaram na vrat, dokle te ne satre.
“Therefore, you will work for the enemies whom Yahweh will send to attack you. You will be hungry and thirsty; you will not have clothes to wear; and you will lack everything else that you need. And Yahweh will cause you to become slaves [MET] and work hard until he gets rid of you.
49 Podignuæe Gospod na tebe narod iz daleka, s kraja zemlje, koji æe doletjeti kao orao, narod, kojemu jezika neæeš razumjeti,
“Yahweh will cause an army from very far away [HYP] to attack you, whose soldiers speak a language that you do not know/understand. They will swoop down on you [quickly] like an eagle [SIM] attacks its prey.
50 Narod bezdušan, koji neæe mariti za starca niti æe djeteta žaliti.
They will be fierce looking. They will not act mercifully toward anyone, not even young children and old people.
51 I izješæe plod stoke tvoje i plod zemlje tvoje, dokle se ne istrijebiš; i neæe ti ostaviti ništa, ni žita ni vina ni ulja, ni ploda goveda tvojih ni stada ovaca tvojih, dokle te ne zatre.
They will [kill and] eat your livestock, and they will eat your crops, and you will (starve/die because you do not have anything to eat). They will not leave for you any grain or wine or [olive] oil or cattle or sheep; and you will all die [from hunger].
52 I stegnuæe te po svijem mjestima tvojim, dokle ne popadaju zidovi tvoji visoki i tvrdi, u koje se uzdaš, po svoj zemlji tvojoj; stegnuæe te po svijem mjestima tvojim, po svoj zemlji tvojoj, koju ti da Gospod Bog tvoj;
Your enemies will surround your towns throughout the land that Yahweh your God is about to give to you, and they will break down the high and strong walls [around your towns], walls which you trusted/thought would protect you.
53 Te æeš u tjeskobi i u nevolji kojom æe ti pritužiti neprijatelji tvoji jesti plod utrobe svoje, meso od sinova svojih i od kæeri svojih, koje ti da Gospod Bog tvoj.
“When your enemies are surrounding [your towns], you will be extremely hungry, with the result that you will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters that Yahweh your God has given to you.
54 Èovjek koji je bio mek i vrlo nježan meðu vama prozliæe se prema bratu svojemu i prema miloj ženi svojoj i prema ostalijem sinovima, koji mu ostanu,
When your enemies have surrounded your towns, even the most gentle and sensitive men among you will want food very desperately, with the result that they will [kill their own children and] eat their flesh, because they will not have anything else to eat. They will not even share any of it with their brothers or wives whom they love very much or with any of their children who are still alive.
55 Te neæe dati nikome izmeðu njih mesa od sinova svojih koje æe jesti, jer neæe imati ništa drugo u nevolji i tjeskobi, kojom æe ti pritužiti neprijatelj tvoj po svijem mjestima tvojim.
56 Žena koja je bila meka i vrlo nježna meðu vama, koja od mekote i nježnosti nije bila navikla stajati nogom svojom na zemlju, prozliæe se prema milome mužu svom i prema sinu svom i prema kæeri svojoj,
Even the most gentle and sensitive/kind women among you, who are very refined/rich with the result that they have never had to walk anywhere [HYP], will do the same thing. When your enemies have surrounded your towns, those women will be extremely hungry, with the result that after they give birth to a baby, they will secretly [kill it and] eat its flesh and also eat its afterbirth. And they will not share any of it with their husbands whom they love very much or with any of their other children.
57 I posteljici, koja izide izmeðu nogu njezinijeh, i djeci koju rodi; jer æe ih jesti krišom u oskudici svakoj od nevolje i od tjeskobe, kojom æe ti pritužiti neprijatelj tvoj po svijem mjestima tvojim.
58 Ako ne uzdržiš i ne ustvoriš sve rijeèi ovoga zakona, koje su napisane u ovoj knjizi, ne bojeæi se slavnoga i strašnoga imena Gospoda Boga svojega,
“If you do not faithfully obey all of the laws that I am writing, and if you do not revere Yahweh our glorious God [MTY],
59 Pustiæe Gospod na tebe i na sjeme tvoje zla èudesna, velika i duga, bolesti ljute i duge.
he will [punish you by] causing you and your descendants to experience great afflictions and plagues which will last for many years.
60 I obratiæe na tebe sve pomore Misirske, od kojih si se plašio, i prilijepiæe se za tebe.
He will cause you to experience the plagues that he sent on the people of Egypt, and you will never be healed.
61 I sve bolesti i sva zla, koja nijesu zapisana u knjizi ovoga zakona, pustiæe Gospod na tebe, dokle se ne istrijebiš.
He will also cause you to experience many other sicknesses and diseases that I have not talked about in these laws, until you all will die.
62 I ostaæe vas malo, a preðe vas bijaše mnogo kao zvijezda nebeskih; jer nijesi slušao glasa Gospoda Boga svojega.
You became as numerous as the stars in the sky, but only a few of you will remain alive, if you do not obey Yahweh your God.
63 I kao što vam se Gospod radovao dobro vam èineæi i množeæi vas, tako æe vam se Gospod radovati zatiruæi vas i istrebljujuæi vas; i nestaæe vas sa zemlje u koju idete da je naslijedite.
Yahweh was very happy to do good things for you and to cause you to become very numerous, but now he will be happy to ruin you and get rid of you. [Those of] you [who do not die from these plagues] will be snatched away from the land that you will soon be entering to possess.
64 I rasijaæe te Gospod po svima narodima s jednoga kraja zemlje do drugoga, i ondje æeš služiti drugim bogovima, kojih nijesi znao ti ni oci tvoji, drvetu i kamenu.
“Yahweh will scatter you among many people-groups, all over the earth, and in those areas/places you will serve other gods that are made of wood or stone, gods which you and your ancestors have never known/worshiped.
65 Ali u onijem narodima neæeš odahnuti, niti æe se stopalo noge tvoje odmoriti; nego æe ti Gospod dati ondje srce plašljivo, oèi išèiljele i dušu iznemoglu.
In those places you will be restless. Yahweh will cause you to be constantly worried/anxious, feel hopeless, and discouraged.
66 I život æe tvoj biti kao da visi prema tebi, i plašiæeš se noæu i danju, i neæeš biti miran životom svojim.
You will always be afraid that your enemies will kill you. You will be very fearful, all day and all night.
67 Jutrom æeš govoriti: kamo da je veèe! a veèerom æeš govoriti: kamo da je jutro! od straha kojim æe se strašiti srce tvoje, i od onoga što æeš gledati oèima svojima.
Because you will be very fearful/afraid because of the [terrible] things that you see, each morning you will say ‘I wish it were evening already!’ and each evening you will say ‘I wish it were morning already!’
68 I vratiæe te Gospod u Misir na laðama, putem za koji ti rekoh: neæeš ga više vidjeti. I ondje æete se prodavati neprijateljima svojim da budete robovi i robinje, a neæe biti kupca.
Yahweh will send [some of] you back to Egypt in ships, even though he promised that you would never [be forced to] go there again. There in Egypt you will try to sell yourselves to become slaves of your enemies [in order to have food to eat], but no one will buy you. [All those things will happen to you if you do not obey the laws that Yahweh is giving to you].”
