Ponovljeni Zakon 4

1 A sada, Izrailju, èuj uredbe i zakone, koje vas uèim da tvorite, da biste poživjeli i ušli u zemlju koju vam daje Gospod Bog otaca vaših i da biste je naslijedili.

Now therefore hearken, O Israel, to the statutes and to the judgments, which I teach you, to do [them], that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

2 Ništa ne dodajte k rijeèi koju vam ja zapovijedam, niti oduzmite od nje, da biste saèuvali zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega koje vam ja zapovijedam.

Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [aught] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

3 Oèi su vaše vidjele šta uèini Gospod s Velfegora; jer svakoga èovjeka koji poðe za Velfegorom istrijebi Gospod Bog tvoj izmeðu tebe.

Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.

4 A vi koji se držaste Gospoda Boga svojega, vi ste svi živi danas.

But ye who adhered to the LORD your God, [are] alive every one of you this day.

5 Gle, uèio sam vas uredbama i zakonima, kao što mi zapovjedi Gospod Bog moj, da biste tako tvorili u zemlji u koju idete da je naslijedite.

Behold, I have taught you statutes, and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.

6 Držite dakle i izvršujte ih, jer je to mudrost vaša i razum vaš pred narodima, koji æe kad èuju sve ove uredbe reæi: samo je ovaj veliki narod narod mudar i razuman.

Keep therefore and do [them]; for this [is] your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which will hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation [is] a wise and understanding people.

7 Jer koji je veliki narod kojemu je Bog blizu kao što je Gospod Bog naš kad ga god zazovemo?

For what nation [is there so] great, which [hath] God [so] nigh to them, as the LORD our God [is] in all [things that] we call upon him [for]?

8 I koji je narod veliki koji ima uredbe i zakone pravedne kao što je sav ovaj zakon koji iznosim danas pred vas?

And what nation [is there so] great, that hath statutes and judgments [so] righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

9 Samo pazi na se i dobro èuvaj dušu svoju, da ne zaboraviš onijeh stvari koje su vidjele oèi tvoje, i da ne izidu iz srca tvojega dokle si god živ; nego da ih obznaniš sinovima svojim i sinovima sinova svojih.

Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou shouldst forget the things which thy eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them to thy sons, and thy sons' sons:

10 Onaj dan kad stajaste pred Gospodom Bogom svojim kod Horiva, kad mi Gospod reèe: saberi mi narod da im kažem rijeèi svoje, kojima æe se nauèiti da me se boje dok su živi na zemlji, i da uèe tome i sinove svoje;

[Specially] the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, Assemble the people to me, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and [that] they may teach their children.

11 Kad pristupiste i stajaste pod gorom, a gora ognjem goraše do samoga neba i bješe na njoj tama i oblak i mrak;

And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.

12 I progovori Gospod k vama isred ognja; glas od rijeèi èuste, ali osim glasa lika ne vidjeste;

And the LORD spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only [ye heard] a voice.

13 I objavi vam zavjet svoj, koji vam zapovjedi da držite, deset rijeèi, koje napisa na dvije ploèe kamene.

And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, [even] ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

14 I meni zapovjedi onda Gospod da vas uèim uredbama i zakonima da ih tvorite u zemlji u koju idete da je naslijedite.

And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.

15 Zato èuvajte dobro duše svoje; jer ne vidjeste nikakoga lika u onaj dan kad vam govori Gospod na Horivu isred ognja,

Take ye therefore good heed to yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day [that] the LORD spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire;

16 Da se ne biste pokvarili i naèinili sebi lik rezan ili kaku god sliku od èovjeka ili od žene,

Lest ye corrupt [yourselves], and make to you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

17 Sliku od kakoga živinèeta koje je na zemlji, ili sliku od kake ptice krilate koja leti ispod neba;

The likeness of any beast that [is] on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,

18 Sliku od èega što puže po zemlji, ili sliku od kake ribe koja je u vodi pod zemljom;

The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that [is] in the waters beneath the earth:

19 I da ne bi podigavši oèi svoje k nebu i vidjevši sunce i mjesec i zvijezde, svu vojsku nebesku, prevario se i klanjao im se i služio im; jer ih Gospod Bog tvoj dade svijem narodima pod cijelijem nebom;

And lest thou shouldst lift up thy eyes to heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the host of heaven, shouldst be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided to all nations under the whole heaven.

20 A vas uze Gospod i izvede vas iz peæi gvozdene, iz Misira, da mu budete narod našljedni, kao što se vidi danas.

But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, [even] from Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as [ye are] this day.

21 Ali se Gospod razgnjevi na me za vaše rijeèi, i zakle se da neæu prijeæi preko Jordana ni uæi u dobru zemlju, koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje u našljedstvo.

Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not enter that good land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance:

22 I ja æu umrijeti u ovoj zemlji i neæu prijeæi preko Jordana; a vi æete prijeæi i naslijediti onu dobru zemlju.

But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.

23 Pazite da ne zaboravite zavjeta Gospoda Boga svojega, koji uèini s vama, i da ne gradite sebi lika rezanoga, slike od koje god tvari, kao što ti je zabranio Gospod Bog tvoj.

Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing] which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.

24 Jer je Gospod Bog tvoj oganj koji spaljuje i Bog koji revnuje.

For the LORD thy God [is] a consuming fire, [even] a jealous God.

25 Kad izrodiš sinove i unuke, i ostarite u onoj zemlji, ako se pokvarite i naèinite sliku rezanu od kake tvari i uèinite što nije ugodno Gospodu Bogu vašemu, dražeæi ga,

When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt [yourselves], and make a graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing], and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:

26 Svjedoèim vam danas nebom i zemljom da æe vas brzo nestati sa zemlje u koju idete preko Jordana da je naslijedite, neæete biti dugo u njoj, nego æete se istrijebiti.

I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from the land to which ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong [your] days upon it, but shall be utterly destroyed.

27 Ili æe vas rasijati Gospod meðu narode, i malo æe vas ostati meðu narodima u koje vas odvede Gospod;

And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.

28 I služiæete ondje bogovima koje su naèinile ruke èovjeèije, od drveta i od kamena, koji ne vide ni èuju, niti jedu ni mirišu.

And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

29 Ali ako i ondje potražiš Gospoda Boga svojega, naæi æeš ga, ako ga potražiš svijem srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom.

But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find [him], if thou shalt seek him with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.

30 Kad budeš u nevolji i sve te to snaðe, ako se u pošljednje vrijeme obratiš ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu, i poslušaš glas njegov,

When thou art in tribulation, and all these things have come upon thee, [even] in the latter days, if thou shalt turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient to his voice;

31 Gospod je Bog tvoj milostiv Bog, neæe te ostaviti ni istrijebiti, jer neæe zaboraviti zavjeta s ocima tvojim, za koji im se zakleo.

(For the LORD thy God [is] a merciful God; ) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers, which he swore to them.

32 Jer zapitaj sada za stara vremena, koja su bila prije tebe, od onoga dana kad stvori Bog èovjeka na zemlji, i od jednoga kraja neba do drugoga, je li kad bila ovaka stvar velika, i je li se kad èulo što tako?

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and [ask] from the one side of heaven to the other, whether there hath been [any such thing] as this great thing [is], or hath been heard like it?

33 Je li kad èuo koji narod glas Božji gdje govori isred ognja, kao što si ti èuo i ostao živ?

Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

34 Ili, je li Bog pokušao da doðe te uzme sebi narod iz drugoga naroda kušanjem, znacima i èudesima i ratom i rukom krjepkom i mišicom podignutom i strahotama velikim, kao što je uèinio sve to za vas Gospod Bog naš u Misiru na vaše oèi?

Or hath God essayed to go [and] take him a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an out-stretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

35 Tebi je to pokazano da poznaš da je Gospod Bog, i da nema drugoga osim njega.

To thee it was shown, that thou mightest know that the LORD he [is] God; [there is] none besides him.

36 Dao ti je da èuješ glas njegov s neba da bi te nauèio, i pokazao ti je na zemlji oganj svoj veliki, i rijeèi njegove èuo si isred ognja.

Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee; and upon earth he showed thee his great fire; and thou heardst his words from the midst of the fire.

37 I što mu mili bijahu oci tvoji, zato izabra sjeme njihovo nakon njih, i izvede te sam velikom silom svojom iz Misira,

And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out of Egypt in his sight with his mighty power.

38 Da otjera ispred tebe narode veæe i jaèe od tebe, i da tebe uvede u njihovu zemlju i dade ti je u našljedstvo, kao što se vidi danas.

To drive out nations from before thee, greater and mightier than thou [art], to bring thee in, to give thee their land [for] an inheritance, as [it is] this day.

39 Znaj dakle i pamti u srcu svojem da je Gospod Bog, gore na nebu i dolje na zemlji, nema drugoga.

Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in thy heart, that the LORD he [is] God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: [there is] none else.

40 I drži uredbe njegove i zapovijesti njegove, koje ti ja danas zapovijedam, da bi dobro bilo tebi i sinovima tvojim nakon tebe, da bi ti se produljili dani na zemlji koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje zasvagda.

Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes and his commandments which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong [thy] days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.

41 Tada odijeli Mojsije tri grada s ovu stranu Jordana prema istoku,

Then Moses set apart three cities on the side of Jordan, towards the sun-rising;

42 Da bi utjecao u njih krvnik koji ubije bližnjega svojega nehotice ne mrzivši prije na nj, i kad uteèe u koji od tijeh gradova, da bi ostao živ:

That the slayer might flee thither, who should kill his neighbor unawares, and when he had not hated him in times past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:

43 Vosor u pustinji, na ravnici u zemlji plemena Ruvimova, i Ramot u Galadu u plemenu Gadovu, Golan u Vasanskoj u plemenu Manasijinu.

[Namely], Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.

44 Ovo je zakon koji postavi Mojsije sinovima Izrailjevijem.

And this [is] the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.

45 Ovo su svjedoèanstva i uredbe i zakoni, koje kaza Mojsije sinovima Izrailjevijem kad izidoše iz Misira,

These [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, after they came forth from Egypt,

46 S ovu stranu Jordana u dolini prema Vet-Fegoru u zemlji Siona cara Amorejskoga, koji življaše u Esevonu, kojega ubi Mojsije i sinovi Izrailjevi kad izidoše iz Misira,

On the east side of Jordan, in the valley over against Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they had come forth from Egypt:

47 I osvojiše zemlju njegovu i zemlju Oga cara Vasanskoga, dva cara Amorejska, koja je s ovu stranu Jordana prema istoku,

And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, who [were] on the side of Jordan, towards the sun-rising;

48 Od Aroira, koji je na potoku Arnonu, do gore Siona, a to je Ermon,

From Aroer, which [is] by the bank of the river Arnon, even to mount Sion, which [is] Hermon,

49 I sve polje s ovu stranu Jordana prema istoku do mora uz ravnicu pod Azdot-Fazgom.

And all the plain on the side of Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
