Ponovljeni Zakon 33
1 A ovo je blagoslov kojim blagoslovi Mojsije èovjek Božji sinove Izrailjeve pred smrt svoju.
The following is the blessing that Moses the man of God gave to the Israelites before he died.
2 I reèe: Gospod izide sa Sinaja, i pokaza im se sa Sira; zasja s gore Faranske, i doðe s mnoštvom tisuæa svetaca, a u desnici mu zakon ognjeni za njih.
He said, The Lord came from Mount Sinai and shone on us from Mount Seir; he blazed out from Mount Paran coming with ten thousand of holy ones, holding flaming fire at his right hand.
3 Doista ljubi narode; svi su sveti njegovi u ruci tvojoj; i oni se slegoše k nogama tvojim da prime rijeèi tvoje.
How much you love the people; you hold all the holy ones in your hand. They sit down at your feet to listen to your words:
4 Mojsije nam dade zakon, našljedstvo zboru Jakovljevu.
the law that Moses delivered to us that belongs to all the Israelites.
5 Jer bijaše car u Izrailju, kad se sabirahu knezovi narodni, plemena Izrailjeva.
The Lord became King in Israel when the people's leaders gathered, when the tribes of Israel assembled.
6 Da živi Ruvim i ne umre, a ljudi njegovijeh da bude malo!
To Reuben he said, “May he live and not die, but may he only have a few men.”
7 A za Judu reèe: usliši Gospode glas Judin, i dovedi ga opet k narodu njegovu; ruke njegove neka vojuju za nj, a ti mu pomaži protiv neprijatelja njegovijeh.
To Judah he said: “Lord, please hear the cry of Judah and reunite him with his people. Even though he fights for himself, may you help him against his enemies.”
8 I za Levija reèe: tvoj Tumim i tvoj Urim neka budu u èovjeka tvojega svetoga, kojega si okušao u Masi i s kojim si se prepirao na vodi Merivi;
To Levi he said: “Your Thummim were given to Levi and your Urim to those dedicated to God, the ones you tested at Massah and argued with at the waters of Meribah.
9 Koji reèe ocu svojemu i materi svojoj: ne gledam na vas; koji ne poznaje braæe svoje i za sinove svoje ne zna; jer drže rijeèi tvoje, i zavjet tvoj èuvaju.
Levi said that he didn't pay attention to his father and mother, that he didn't acknowledge his brothers, and that he didn't recognize his children. The Levites did what you said and kept your agreement.
10 Oni uèe uredbama tvojim Jakova i zakonu tvojemu Izrailja, i meæu kad pod nozdrve tvoje i žrtvu što se sažiže na oltar tvoj.
They will teach your regulations to Jacob and your law to Israel. They will place incense before you, and sacrifice whole burnt offerings on your altar.
11 Blagoslovi, Gospode, vojsku njegovu, i neka ti milo bude djelo ruku njegovijeh; polomi bedre onima koji ustaju na nj i koji mrze na nj, da ne ustanu.
Lord, please bless what they have, and accept their service for you. Destroy those who attack them; make sure their enemies never rise again.”
12 Za Venijamina reèe: mili Gospodu nastavaæe bez straha s njim; zaklanjaæe ga svaki dan, i meðu pleæima njegovijem nastavaæe.
To Benjamin he said: “May the one the Lord loves be kept safe and secure in the Lord. The Lord always protects him, letting him rest on his shoulders.”
13 I za Josifa reèe: blagoslovena je zemlja njegova od Gospoda blagom s neba, rosom, i iz dubine ozdo,
To Joseph he said: “May the Lord bless his land with the best gifts of heaven—with the dew and water from the depths below;
14 I blagom koje dolazi od sunca, i blagom koje dolazi od mjeseca,
with the best crops ripened by the sun and the best produce of the seasons;
15 I blagom starijeh brda i blagom vjeènijeh humova,
with the finest contributions of the ancient mountains and the best materials of the everlasting hills;
16 I blagom na zemlji i obiljem njezinijem, i milošæu onoga koji stoji u kupini. Neka to doðe na glavu Josifu i na tjeme odvojenome izmeðu braæe svoje.
with the best gifts of the land and everything in it, along with the appreciation of the one who was in the burning bush. May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph like a crown for this prince among his brothers.
17 Krasota je njegova kao u prvenca teleta, i rogovi njegovi kao rogovi u jednoroga; njima æe bosti narode sve do kraja zemlje; to je mnoštvo tisuæa Jefremovijeh i tisuæe Manasijine.
He is as majestic as a firstborn bull; his horns are like those of a wild ox. He will use them to gore the nations, driving them to the ends of the earth. The horns represent the ten thousands of Ephraim, and the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 A za Zavulona reèe: veseli se Zavulone izlaskom svojim, i Isahare šatorima svojim.
To Zebulun he said: “Celebrate, Zebulun, in your travels and Issachar, in your tents.
19 Narode æe sazvati na goru, ondje æe prinijeti žrtve pravedne; jer æe obilje morsko sisati i sakriveno blago u pijesku.
They will summon the peoples to a mountain; will offer the appropriate sacrifices there. They will enjoy the rich produce of the seas and from trading on the seashores.”
20 A za Gada reèe: blagosloven je koji širi Gada; on nastava kao lav, i kida ruku i glavu.
To Gad he said: “Blessed is he who makes Gad's territory larger! Gad is like a lion lying in wait, ready to rip off an arm or a head.
21 Izabra sebi prvo, jer ondje dobi dio od onoga koji dade zakon; zato æe iæi s knezovima narodnijem, i izvršivati pravdu Gospodnju i sudove njegove s Izrailjem.
He chose the best land for himself, for he was allocated a ruler's share. He met with the people's leaders; he did what the Lord said was right, following the Lord's regulations for Israel.”
22 A za Dana reèe: Dan je laviæ, koji æe iskakati iz Vasana.
To Dan he said: “Dan is a young lion that leaps out of Bashan.”
23 I za Neftalima reèe: Neftalime, siti milosti i puni blagoslova Gospodnjega, zapad i jug uzmi.
To Naphtali he said: “Naphtali is really favored, full of the Lord's blessing. He shall take over the land to the west and south.”
24 I za Asira reèe: Asir æe biti blagosloven mimo druge sinove, biæe mio braæi svojoj, zamakaæe u ulje nogu svoju.
To Asher he said: “May Asher be blessed more than all the other sons; may he be favored above his brothers and bathe his feet in olive oil.
25 Gvožðe i mjed biæe pod obuæom tvojom; i dokle traju dani tvoji trajaæe snaga tvoja.
May the bolts of your gate be strong as iron and bronze, and may you be strong all your life.”
26 Izrailju! niko nije kao Bog, koji ide po nebu tebi u pomoæ, i u velièanstvu svojem na oblacima.
There is no one like the God of Israel, who rides across the heavens to come to help you; who rides the clouds in majesty.
27 Zaklon je Bog vjeèni i pod mišicom vjeènom; on æe odagnati ispred tebe neprijatelje tvoje, i reæi æe: zatri!
The eternal God is your home, and he holds you up with his everlasting arms. He drives out the enemy ahead of you, and gives the order, “Destroy him!”
28 Da bi nastavao Izrailj sam bezbrižno, izvor Jakovljev, u zemlji obilnoj žitom i vinom; i nebo æe njegovo kropiti rosom.
As a result Israel lives in peace; Jacob has no trouble in a country of grain and new wine, where the heavens drip with dew.
29 Blago tebi, Izrailju! ko je kao ti, narod kojega je saèuvao Gospod, štit pomoæi tvoje, i maè slave tvoje? Neprijatelji æe se tvoji poniziti, a ti æeš gaziti visine njihove.
How blessed you are, Israel! Is there anyone like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is the shield that protects you, the sword that gives you confidence. Your enemies will tremble before you, and you shall tread them underfoot.
