Ponovljeni Zakon 32
1 Slušaj, nebo, govoriæu; i zemlja neka èuje govor usta mojih.
“Listen to me, [all you who are in the] heavens, and [all you who are on the] earth, listen to what I say [MTY].
2 Neka se spusti kao dažd nauka moja, i neka padne kao rosa govor moj, kao sitan dažd na mladu travu i kao krupan dažd na odraslu travu.
I wish/desire that my teaching will fall on you like rain drops or be like dew on the ground, and be like a gentle rain on the young plants, like showers on the grass.
3 Jer æu javljati ime Gospodnje; velièajte Boga našega.
I will praise Yahweh [MTY]. And [all you people should] tell others that our God is very great.
4 Djelo je te stijene savršeno, jer su svi putovi njegovi pravda; Bog je vjeran, bez nepravde; pravedan je i istinit.
He is like a rock [MET] [under which we are protected]; [everything] that he does is perfect and completely just/fair [DOU]. He always does what he says that he will do; he never does anything that is wrong.
5 Oni se pokvariše prema njemu; njihovo nevaljalstvo nije nevaljalstvo sinova njegovijeh; to je rod zao i pokvaren.
“But [you Israeli people] have been very unfaithful to him; because of your sins, you no longer [deserve to] be his children. You are extremely wicked and deceitful [DOU].
6 Tako li vraæate Gospodu, narode ludi i bezumni? nije li on otac tvoj, koji te je zadobio? on te je naèinio i stvorio.
You foolish and senseless [DOU] people, (is this the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you]?/this is certainly not the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you].) [RHQ] He is your father; he created you [RHQ]; he caused you to become a nation.
7 Opomeni se negdašnjih dana, pogledajte godine svakoga vijeka; pitaj oca svojega i on æe ti javiti, starije svoje i kazaæe ti.
“Think about [what happened] long ago; consider what happened to your ancestors. Ask your parents, and they will inform you; ask the older people, and they will tell you.
8 Kad višnji razdade našljedstvo narodima, kad razdijeli sinove Adamove, postavi meðe narodima po broju sinova Izrailjevih.
When God, who is greater than any other god, long ago divided the people into groups, he assigned to the nations their land. He determined where each people-group should live and (assigned to/chose for) each people-group a god/angel.
9 Jer je dio Gospodnji narod njegov, Jakov je uže našljedstva njegova.
But Yahweh decided that we would be his people; he chose [us, the descendants of] Jacob, to belong to him.
10 Naðe ga u zemlji pustoj, na mjestu strašnu gdje buèi pustoš; vodi ga unaokolo, uèi ga i èuva kao zjenicu oka svojega.
“He saw [our ancestors] when they were in a desert, wandering in a land (that was desolate/where no people lived). He protected them and took care of them, as every person takes good care of his own eyes. [SIM, IDM]
11 Kao što orao izmamljuje orliæe svoje, diže se nad ptiæima svojim, širi krila svoja, uzima ih i nosi na krilima svojim,
[Yahweh protected his people] just like an eagle encourages its babies [to fly] and flutters over them [MET], spreading its wings and catching them [if they start to fall].
12 Tako ga Gospod voðaše, i s njim ne bješe tuðega boga;
Yahweh was the only one who led them; no other foreign god helped him.
13 Voðaše ga na visine zemaljske da jede rod poljski, i davaše mu da sisa med iz stijene i ulje iz tvrdoga kamena,
“[After they entered the land that Yahweh promised to give to them], Yahweh enabled them to rule the hilly areas; they ate the crops that grew in the fields. They found honey in the rocks, and their olive trees [MTY] grew [even] in stony ground.
14 Maslo od krava i mlijeko od ovaca s pretilinom od jaganjaca i ovnova Vasanskih i jaraca, sa srcem zrna pšeniènih; i pio si vino, krv od grožða.
The cows gave them plenty of curds/yogurt, the goats gave them plenty of milk, they had well-fed sheep and cattle, they had very good wheat, and they made delicious wine from their grapes.
15 Ali se Izrailj ugoji, pa se stade ritati; utio si, udebljao i zasalio; pa ostavi Boga koji ga je stvorio, i prezre stijenu spasenja svojega.
“The Israeli people became rich and prosperous, but then they rebelled against God; they abandoned him, the one who created them, the one who powerfully saves them.
16 Na revnost razdražiše ga tuðim bogovima, gadovima razgnjeviše ga.
So he abandoned them because they started to worship other/strange gods. Because of their worshiping disgusting idols, he became angry.
17 Prinosiše žrtve ðavolima, ne Bogu, bogovima, kojih nijesu znali, novim, koji iz bliza doðoše, kojih se nijesu strašili oci vaši.
They offered sacrifices to gods who were [really] demons, gods that their ancestors had never known; they offered sacrifices to gods that they had recently found out about, gods whom your ancestors had never revered.
18 Stijenu koja te je rodila zaboravio si; zaboravio si Boga stvoritelja svojega.
They forgot [the true] God, the one who protects them [MET], the one who created them and caused them to live.
19 Kad to vidje Gospod, razgnjevi se na sinove svoje i na kæeri svoje,
“When Yahweh saw that [they had abandoned him], he became angry, so he rejected [the Israeli people, who are like] his sons and daughters.
20 I reèe: sakriæu od njih lice svoje, vidjeæu kakav æe im biti pošljedak, jer su rod pokvaren, sinovi u kojima nema vjere.
He said, ‘They are very wicked/stubborn people, very unfaithful; so I will no longer help them, and then I will watch and see what happens to them.
21 Oni me razdražiše na revnost onijem što nije Bog, razgnjeviše svojim taštinama; i ja æu njih razdražiti na revnost onijem koji nije narod, narodom ludijem razljutiæu ih.
They made me very angry because of their worshiping idols, which are not really gods; they have caused me to be [jealous [MET] because I want them to worship only me]. So now, in order to cause them to become jealous, I will send [to attack them an army of] a nation of worthless and foolish people.
22 Jer se oganj razgorio u gnjevu mojem, i gorjeæe do najdubljega pakla; spaliæe zemlju i rod njezin, i popaliæe temelje brdima. (Sheol h7585)
I will be very angry, and I will destroy them like a fire that will burn on the earth and all the way down to the place where dead people are [MET]; that fire will destroy the earth and everything that grows on it, and it will even burn what is down under the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Zgrnuæu na njih zla, strijele svoje pobacaæu na njih.
I will cause them to experience many disasters; [they will feel as though] [MET] I am shooting all my arrows at them.
24 Glad æe ih cijediti, vruæice i ljuti pomori proždiraæe ih; i zube zvjerske poslaæu na njih i jed zmija zemaljskih.
They will die because of being hungry and because of having hot fevers and because of terrible diseases; I will send wild animals to attack [MTY] them, and poisonous snakes to bite [MTY] them.
25 Spolja æe ih ubijati maè, a po klijetima strah, i momka i djevojku, dijete na sisi i sijeda èovjeka.
Outside [their houses, their enemies] will kill them [MTY] with swords, and in their homes, [their enemies will cause] them to be terrified. Their enemies will kill young men and young women, and they will kill infants and old people with gray hair.
26 Rekao bih: rasijaæu ih po svijem uglovima zemaljskim, uèiniæu da nestane spomena njihova izmeðu ljudi,
I wanted to scatter the Israeli people to distant countries in order that no one would ever remember them.
27 Da mi nije do mržnje neprijateljeve, da se ne bi neprijatelji njihovi ponijeli i rekli: ruka se naša uzvisila, a nije Gospod uèinio sve ovo.
But [if I did that], their enemies would wrongly boast that they were the ones who had [gotten rid of my people]; they would say, “We [SYN] are the ones who defeated them; it was not Yahweh who has done all these things.”’
28 Jer su narod koji propada sa svojih namjera, i nema u njih razuma.
You Israelis are a nation of people who do not have any sense. None of you is wise.
29 Kamo da su pametni, da razumiju ovo, i gledaju na pošljedak svoj!
If you were wise, you would understand [why you would be punished]; you would have realized what was going to happen to you.
30 Kako bi jedan gonio tisuæu a dvojica tjerala deset tisuæa, da ih nije stijena njihova prodala i Gospod ih predao?
[You would have realized] why 1,000 [of your soldiers] would be defeated by only one [of the enemy soldiers], and why two of your enemies would chase away 10,000 [Israeli soldiers]. [You would realize that this would happen] only if God, the one who always defended you [MET], had allowed your enemies to defeat you, because he had abandoned you.
31 Jer stijena njihova nije kao naša stijena; neprijatelji naši neka budu sudije.
Your enemies know that their gods are not powerful like Yahweh, our God, [so their gods could not have defeated us Israelis].
32 Jer je èokot njihov od èokota Sodomskoga i iz polja Gomorskoga; grožðe je njihovo grožðe otrovno, puca su mu gorka.
Your enemies are like [MET] grapevines planted near [the ruins of] Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; the grapes from those vines are bitter and poisonous;
33 Vino je njihovo otrov zmajevski, i ljuti jed aspidin.
the wine [from those grapes] is like the poison of snakes [DOU].
34 Nije li to sakriveno kod mene, zapeèaæeno u riznicama mojim?
[“Yahweh says], ‘I know [RHQ] [what I have planned to do to the Israeli people and to their enemies], and those plans are so secure [that it as though he locked them up] [MET].
35 Moja je osveta i plata, u svoje vrijeme popuznuæe noga njihova, jer je blizu dan propasti njihove, i ide brzo što æe ih zadesiti.
I am the one who will get revenge and pay those enemies back for what they have done [to my people], at the right time for them to be punished [IDM]; they will soon experience disasters, and I will punish/destroy them quickly.’
36 Sudiæe Gospod narodu svojemu, i žao æe mu biti sluga njegovijeh, kad vidi da je prošla snaga i da nema ništa ni od uhvaæenoga ni od ostavljenoga.
“But Yahweh will see that you who are truly his people, who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and he will be merciful to you. And he will see that you are helpless, and that there are very few of you, slaves or free people, who are still alive.
37 I reæi æe: gdje su bogovi njihovi? stijena u koju se uzdaše?
Then Yahweh will ask his people, ‘Where are the gods that you thought would protect you [MET]?
38 Koji salo od žrtava njegovijeh jedoše i piše vino od naljeva njihovijeh. Neka ustanu i pomogu vam, i neka vam budu zaklon.
You gave to those gods the best parts of the animals that you sacrificed, and you poured out wine for them to drink. So, they should begin to help you; they should be the ones who will protect you!
39 Vidite sada da sam ja, ja sam, i da nema Boga osim mene. Ja ubijam i oživljujem, ranim i iscjeljujem, i nema nikoga ko bi izbavio iz moje ruke.
“But now you will realize that I, only I, am God; there is no other god who is [a real] god. I am the one who can kill people and who can cause people to live; I can wound people, and I can heal people, and there is no one who can prevent me from doing those things.
40 Jer podižem k nebu ruku svoju i kažem: ja sam živ dovijeka.
I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly declare that just as sure as I live forever,
41 Ako naoštrim sjajni maè svoj i uzmem u ruku sud, uèiniæu osvetu na neprijateljima svojim i vratiæu onima koji mrze na me.
that when I sharpen my sword, as I [SYN] prepare to punish people, I will get revenge on my enemies; I will pay back those who hate me.
42 Opojiæu strijele svoje krvlju, i maè æe se moj najesti mesa, krvlju isjeèenijeh i zarobljenijeh, kad poènem osvetu na neprijateljima.
I will kill all [of my enemies] with a sword; it will be as though I had arrows that will be covered with their blood. I will kill [MTY] all those whom I capture and cut off their leaders’ heads.’
43 Veselite se narodi s narodom njegovijem, jer æe pokajati krv sluga svojih, i osvetiæe se neprijateljima svojim, i oèistiæe zemlju svoju i narod svoj.
“You people of all nations, you as well as his people should praise Yahweh, because Yahweh gets revenge on those who kill the people who serve him; and he cleanses his people’s land which has become defiled because of their sins.”
44 I doðe Mojsije i izgovori sve rijeèi pjesme ove narodu, on i Isus sin Navin.
Joshua and Moses/I recited the words of that song while the Israeli people were listening.
45 A kad izgovori Mojsije sve rijeèi ove svemu Izrailju,
When they/we finished reciting to the Israeli people the words of this song,
46 Reèe im: privijte srce svoje k svijem rijeèima koje vam ja danas zasvjedoèavam, i kazujte ih sinovima svojim da bi držali sve rijeèi ovoga zakona i tvorili ih.
Moses/I said, “Never forget all these commands that I have been giving you today. Teach these laws to your children, in order that they will faithfully obey all of them.
47 Jer nije prazna rijeè da za nju ne marite, nego je život vaš; i tom æete rijeèju produljiti dane svoje na zemlji, u koju idete preko Jordana da je naslijedite.
These instructions are very important [LIT]. If [you obey] them, you will live a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
48 U isti dan reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
On that same day, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
49 Izidi na ovu goru Avarimsku, na goru Navav, koja je u zemlji Moavskoj prema Jerihonu, i vidi zemlju Hanansku koju dajem sinovima Izrailjevijem u državu.
“Go to the Abarim Mountain range [here] in the Moab region, across from Jericho. Climb Nebo Mountain, and look [toward the west] to see Canaan land, the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people.
50 I umri na gori na koju izideš, i priberi s k rodu svojemu, kao što je umro Aron brat tvoj na gori Oru i pribrao se k rodu svojemu.
You will die on that mountain [EUP, DOU], like your [older] brother Aaron died on Hor Mountain.
51 Jer mi zgriješiste meðu sinovima Izrailjevijem na vodi od svaðe u Kadisu, u pustinji Sinu, što me ne proslaviste meðu sinovima Izrailjevijem.
You will die because both of you disobeyed me in the presence of the Israeli people, when you all were at Meribah Springs near Kadesh [town] in the Zin Desert. You did not honor and respect me in the presence of the Israeli people in the way that I deserve because I am God.
52 Pred sobom æeš vidjeti zemlju, ali neæeš u nju uæi, u zemlju koju dajem sinovima Izrailjevijem.
[When you are on that mountain where I told you to go], you will see in the distance in front of you the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people, but you will not enter it.”
