Ponovljeni Zakon 8
1 Držite i tvorite sve zapovijesti koje vam ja zapovijedam danas, da biste živi bili i umnožili se, i da biste ušli u zemlju za koju se Gospod zakleo ocima vašim, i da biste je naslijedili.
You must keep all the commands that I am giving you today, so that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land that Yahweh swore to your fathers.
2 I opominji se svega puta kojim te je vodio Gospod Bog tvoj èetrdeset godina po pustinji, da bi te namuèio i iskušao, da se zna šta ti je u srcu, hoæeš li držati zapovijesti njegove ili neæeš.
You will call to mind all the ways that Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, in order that he might humble you, that he might test you to know what was in your heart, as to whether you would keep his commandments or not.
3 I muèio te je, i glaðu te morio; ali te je opet hranio manom, za koju ti nijesi znao ni oci tvoji, da bi ti pokazao da èovjek ne živi o samom hljebu nego o svemu što izlazi iz usta Gospodnjih.
He humbled you, and made you hunger, and fed you with manna, which you had not known and which your fathers had not known. He did that to make you know that it is not by bread alone that people live; rather, it is by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh that people live.
4 Odijelo tvoje ne ovetša na tebi niti noga tvoja oteèe za ovijeh èetrdeset godina;
Your clothing did not wear out and fall off you, and your feet did not swell up during those forty years.
5 Zato poznaj u srcu svom da te Gospod Bog tvoj gaji kao što èovjek gaji svoje dijete.
You will think about in your heart, how, as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.
6 I drži zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega hodeæi putovima njegovijem i bojeæi se njega.
You will keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, so that you might walk in his ways and honor him.
7 Jer Gospod Bog tvoj uvešæe te sada u dobru zemlju, u zemlju u kojoj ima dosta potoka i izvora i jezera, što izviru po dolinama i po brdima;
For Yahweh your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing out into valleys and among hills;
8 U zemlju izobilnu pšenicom i jeèmom i vinovom lozom i smokvama i šipcima, zemlju izobilnu maslinom, od koje biva ulje, i medom;
a land of wheat and barley, of vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey.
9 U zemlju, gdje neæeš sirotinjski jesti hljeba, gdje ti neæe ništa nedostajati; u zemlju, gdje je kamenje gvožðe i gdje æeš iz brda njezinijeh sjeæi mjed.
It is a land in which you will eat bread without lack, and where you will not go without anything; a land whose stones are made of iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.
10 Ješæeš i biæeš sit, pa blagosiljaj Gospoda Boga svojega za dobru zemlju koju ti da.
You will eat and be full, and you will bless Yahweh your God for the good land that he has given you.
11 I èuvaj se da ne zaboraviš Gospoda Boga svojega bacivši u nemar zapovijesti njegove i zakone njegove i uredbe njegove, koje ti ja zapovijedam danas.
Be careful that you do not forget Yahweh your God, and that you do not neglect his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes that I am commanding you today,
12 I kad uzjedeš i nasitiš se, i dobre kuæe naèiniš i u njima staneš živjeti,
otherwise, when you eat and are full, and when you build good houses and live in them, your heart will be lifted up.
13 I kad se goveda tvoja i ovce tvoje naplode, i kad ti se namnoži srebro i zlato, i što god imaš kad ti se namnoži,
Be careful when your herds and flocks multiply and when your silver and gold increase, and all that you have is multiplied,
14 Nemoj da se ponese srce tvoje i zaboraviš Gospoda Boga svojega, koji te je izveo iz zemlje Misirske, iz kuæe ropske;
then your heart becomes lifted up and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
15 Koji te je vodio preko one pustinje velike i strašne gdje žive zmije vatrene i skorpije, gdje je suša a nema vode; koji ti je izveo vodu iz tvrdoga kamena;
Do not forget him who led you through the great and terrifying wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, who brought you water out of the rock of flint.
16 Koji te je hranio u pustinji manom, za koju ne znaše oci tvoji, da bi te namuèio i iskušao te, i najposlije da bi ti dobro uèinio.
He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your ancestors had never known, so that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end,
17 Niti govori u srcu svojem: moja snaga, i sila moje ruke dobavila mi je ovo blago.
but you may say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my hand acquired all this wealth.'
18 Nego se opominji Gospoda Boga svojega; jer ti on daje snagu da dobavljaš blago, da bi potvrdio zavjet svoj, za koji se zakleo ocima tvojim, kao što se vidi danas.
But you will call to mind Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is today.
19 Ako li zaboraviš Gospoda Boga svojega, i poðeš za drugim bogovima i njima staneš služiti i klanjati se, svjedoèim vam danas da æete zacijelo propasti,
It will happen that, if you will forget Yahweh your God and walk after other gods, worship them, and reverence them, I testify against you today that you will surely perish.
20 Propašæete kao narodi koje Gospod potire ispred vas, jer ne poslušaste glasa Gospoda Boga svojega.
Like the nations that Yahweh is making to perish before you, so will you perish, because you would not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
