Ponovljeni Zakon 31
1 Potom doðe Mojsije i kaza ove rijeèi svemu Izrailju,
When Moses/I finished saying all that to the Israeli people,
2 I reèe im: meni ima danas sto i dvadeset godina, ne mogu više odlaziti ni dolaziti; a i Gospod mi je rekao: neæeš prijeæi preko toga Jordana.
he/I said to them, “Now I am 120 years old. I am no longer able to go everywhere [that you go] (OR, to be your leader). Furthermore, Yahweh has told me that I will not cross the Jordan [River].
3 Gospod æe Bog tvoj iæi pred tobom, i istrijebiæe one narode ispred tebe, i ti æeš ih naslijediti; Isus æe iæi pred tobom, kao što je kazao Gospod.
But Yahweh our God will go ahead of you. He will [enable you to] destroy the nations that are living there, in order that you can occupy their land. Joshua will be your leader, which is what Yahweh already told me.
4 I uèiniæe Gospod s njima kako je uèinio sa Sionom i Ogom carevima Amorejskim i sa zemljom njihovom, te ih je istrijebio.
Yahweh will do to those nations what he did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amor people-group when he destroyed their armies [MTY].
5 Zato kad vam ih preda Gospod uèinite im sasvijem onako kako sam vam zapovjedio.
Yahweh will enable you to conquer those nations, but you must [kill all of the people of those nations, which is] what I have commanded you to do.
6 Budite slobodni i hrabri, i ne bojte se i ne plašite se od njih; jer Gospod Bog tvoj ide s tobom, neæe otstupiti od tebe, niti æe te ostaviti.
Be brave and confident. Do not be afraid of those people. [Do not forget that] it is Yahweh our God who will go with you. He will always help [LIT] you and never abandon you.”
7 Potom dozva Mojsije Isusa, i reèe mu pred svijem Izrailjem: budi slobodan i hrabar; jer æeš ti uæi s ovijem narodom u zemlju za koju se zakleo Gospod ocima njihovijem da æe im je dati, i ti æeš im je razdijeliti u našljedstvo.
Then Moses/I summoned Joshua, and while all the Israeli people were listening, he/I said to him, “Be brave and confident. You are the one who will lead these people into the land that Yahweh promised to our ancestors that he would give to them, and you will enable them to occupy it.
8 Jer Gospod koji ide pred tobom biæe s tobom, neæe otstupiti od tebe, niti æe te ostaviti, ne boj se i ne plaši se.
It is Yahweh who will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will always help [LIT] you. He will never abandon you. So do not be afraid or dismayed.”
9 I Mojsije napisa ovaj zakon, i dade ga sveštenicima, sinovima Levijevim, koji nošahu kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega, i svijem starješinama Izrailjevijem.
Moses/I wrote down all these laws [on two scrolls] and gave [one scroll] to the priests, who carried the chest containing the Ten Commandments, and [gave the other scroll] to the Israeli elders.
10 I zapovjedi im Mojsije govoreæi: svake sedme godine, u odreðeno vrijeme godine oprosne, na praznik sjenica,
Moses/I told them, “At the end of every seven years, at the time that all debts are canceled, [read this to the people] during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters.
11 Kad doðe sav Izrailj i stane pred Gospoda Boga svojega na mjestu koje izbere, èitaj ovaj zakon pred svijem Izrailjem da èuju,
Read it to all the Israeli people when they gather at the place that Yahweh chooses for them to worship him.
12 Sabravši narod, ljude i žene i djecu i došljake, koji budu u mjestima tvojim, da èuju i uèe i da se boje Gospoda Boga vašega, i drže i tvore sve rijeèi ovoga zakona;
Gather together everyone—men, women, children, even the foreigners [who are living] in your towns—in order that they may hear [these laws] and learn to revere Yahweh our God, and to faithfully obey everything that is written in these laws.
13 I sinovi njihovi, koji još ne znaju, neka èuju i uèe bojati se Gospoda Boga vašega, dokle ste god živi na zemlji u koju idete preko Jordana da je naslijedite.
[If they do that], your descendants who have never known these laws will hear them and will also learn to revere Yahweh our God, during all the years that they live in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
14 A Gospod reèe Mojsiju: evo, približi se vrijeme da umreš. Dozovi Isusa i stanite obojica u šatoru od sastanka, da mu dam zapovijesti. I otide Mojsije i Isus, i stadoše u šatoru od sastanka.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen carefully. You will soon die. Summon Joshua, and you go to the Sacred Tent with him, in order that I may appoint him [to be the new leader].” So Joshua and Moses/I went to the Sacred Tent.
15 I javi se Gospod u šatoru u stupu od oblaka, i stajaše stup od oblaka nad vratima od šatora.
There Yahweh appeared to them/us in a pillar of cloud, and that cloud was close to the door of the tent.
16 I reèe Gospod Mojsiju: evo, ti æeš poèinuti s ocima svojim; a narod ovaj ustavši èiniæe preljubu za tuðim bogovima one zemlje u koju ide, i ostaviæe me i pokvariæe zavjet moj, koji uèinih s njima.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “You will soon die [EUP]. Then these people will become unfaithful [MET] to me. They will abandon me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them. They will begin to worship the foreign/pagan gods [that are worshiped by the people] of the land that they will enter.
17 I onda æe se raspaliti moj gnjev na njih, i ostaviæu ih, i sakriæu lice svoje od njih; oni æe se proždrijeti, i snaæi æe ih zla mnoga i nevolje; i onda æe reæi: da me ne snaðoše ova zla zato što Bog moj nije posred mene?
When that happens, I will become very angry with them. I will abandon them [DOU] and I will no longer help them [IDM], and I will destroy them {they will be destroyed}. Many terrible things will happen to them, with the result that they will say, ‘[We are certain that] [RHQ] these things are happening to us because our God is no longer with us.’
18 A ja æu onda sasvijem sakriti lice svoje za sva zla koja uèiniše obrativši se k drugim bogovima.
And because of all the evil things that they will have done, and [especially because] they will have started to worship other gods, I will refuse to help [IDM] them.
19 Zato sad napišite sebi ovu pjesmu, i nauèi je sinove Izrailjeve; metni im je u usta da mi ta pjesma bude svjedok na sinove Izrailjeve.
“So, [I am going to give you] a song. Write it [on a scroll] and teach it to the Israeli people and cause them to memorize it. It will be like a witness that accuses them.
20 Jer æu ga odvesti u zemlju za koju sam se zakleo ocima njegovijem, u kojoj teèe mlijeko i med; ondje æe jesti i nasitiæe se i ugojiæe se, pa æe se onda obratiti k drugim bogovima i njima æe služiti, a za mene neæe mariti, i pokvariæe zavjet moj.
I am about to take them into a very fertile [IDM] land, a land that I solemnly promised their ancestors that I would give to them. There they will have plenty to eat, with the result that their [stomachs] will [always] be full and they will become fat. But then they will turn to other gods and start to worship them, and they will despise me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them.
21 A kad ga snaðu zla mnoga i nevolje, onda æe ta pjesma svjedoèiti na njih; jer se neæe zaboraviti niti æe je nestati iz usta sjemena njihova. Jer znam misli njihove i što æe još danas èiniti, prije nego ih uvedem u zemlju za koju sam se zakleo.
And they will experience many terrible disasters. After that happens, their descendants will never forget this song, and it will be like a witness [that says, ‘Now you know why Yahweh punished your ancestors].’ I will soon take them into the land that I vowed that I would give to them; but now, before I do that, I know what they are thinking [that they will do when they are living there].”
22 I napisa Mojsije tu pjesmu onaj dan, i nauèi sinove Izrailjeve.
So on the day that [Yahweh gave Moses/me this song], he/I wrote it down, and he/I taught it to the Israeli people.
23 I Gospod dade zapovijesti Isusu sinu Navinu govoreæi: budi slobodan i hrabar, jer æeš ti uvesti sinove Izrailjeve u zemlju za koju sam im se zakleo, i ja æu biti s tobom.
Then Yahweh (appointed/set apart) Joshua and said to him, “Be brave and confident, because you will lead the Israeli people into the land that I vowed that I would give to them. And I will be with you.”
24 I kad napisa Mojsije rijeèi ovoga zakona u knjigu, sve do kraja,
Then Moses/I finished writing on a scroll all the laws that Yahweh had told to him/me.
25 Zapovjedi Mojsije Levitima, koji nošahu kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega, govoreæi:
Then Moses/I told the descendants of Levi, who were carrying the Sacred Chest that contained the Ten Commandments,
26 Uzmite ovu knjigu zakona, i metnite je pokraj kovèega zavjeta Gospoda Boga svojega, da bude ondje svjedok na vas.
“Take this scroll on which these laws [are written], and place it beside the Sacred Chest that contains the agreement that Yahweh our God made with you, in order that it may remain there to testify [about what Yahweh will do] to the people [if they disobey him].
27 Jer znam nepokornost tvoju i tvrdi vrat tvoj. Eto, dokle sam još živ s vama, do danas, bijaste nepokorni Gospodu; akamoli kad ja umrem?
[I say this] because I know that these people are very stubborn [DOU]. They have rebelled against Yahweh all during the time that I have been [with them], and they will rebel much more after I die!
28 Skupite k meni sve starješine od plemena svojih i upravitelje svoje da im kažem da èuju ove rijeèi, i da im zasvjedoèim nebom i zemljom.
So gather all the elders of the tribes and your officials, in order that I can tell them the words [of this song], and request all those who are in heaven and on the earth to be witnesses to testify against these people.
29 Jer znam da æete se po smrti mojoj pokvariti, i zaæi s puta koji vam zapovjedih; i zato æe vas zadesiti ovo zlo najposlije, kad stanete èiniti što je zlo pred Gospodom gnjeveæi ga djelom ruku svojih.
I say that because I know that after I die, the people will become very wicked. They will turn away from doing everything that I have commanded them to do. And in the future, because of all the evil things that they will do, they will cause Yahweh to become angry with them. And he will cause them to experience disasters.”
30 I izgovori Mojsije da èuje sav zbor Izrailjev rijeèi ove pjesme do kraja:
Then, while all the Israeli people listened, Moses/I sang/recited this entire song to them:
