Ponovljeni Zakon 9

1 Èuj, Izrailju! ti danas prelaziš preko Jordana da uðeš i naslijediš narode veæe i jaèe od sebe, gradove velike i ograðene do neba;

Hear O Israel! thou art passing, to-day, over the Jordan, to go in to dispossess nations, greater and stronger than thou, —cities great and fortified into the heavens;

2 Velik i visok narod, sinove Enakove, koje znaš i za koje si slušao: ko ce odoljeti sinovima Enakovijem?

a people great and tall, the sons of Anakim, —whom, thou, knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?

3 Znaj dakle danas da je Gospod Bog tvoj, koji ide pred tobom, oganj koji spaljuje; on æe ih istrijebiti i on æe ih oboriti pred tobom, i izagnaæeš ih i istrijebiti brzo, kao što ti je kazao Gospod.

So then, thou must consider to-day, that Yahweh thy God, he it is that is passing over before thee as a consuming fire, he, will destroy them, and, he, will cause them to bow down before thee, —so shalt thou dispossess them, and destroy them speedily, as Yahweh hath spoken unto thee.

4 Kad ih Gospod Bog tvoj otjera ispred tebe, nemoj da reèeš u srcu svom: za pravdu moju uvede me Gospod u ovu zemlju da je naslijedim; jer Gospod tjera one narode ispred tebe za nevaljalstvo njihovo!

Do not speak in thy heart, when Yahweh thy God casteth them out from before thee saying, For mine own righteousness, hath Yahweh brought me in, to possess this land, —whereas it is for the lawlessness of these nations, that, Yahweh, is dispossessing them from before thee.

5 Ne ideš za pravdu svoju ni za èistotu srca svojega da naslijediš tu zemlju; nego za nevaljalstvo tijeh naroda Gospod Bog tvoj tjera ih ispred tebe, i da održi rijeè za koju se zakleo ocima tvojim, Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu.

Not for thine own righteousness, nor for the uprightness of thine own heart, art thou going in to possess their land, —but for the lawlessness of these nations, is, Yahweh thy God driving them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers, unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob.

6 Znaj dakle da ti Gospod Bog tvoj ne daje te dobre zemlje za pravdu tvoju da je naslijediš, jer si tvrdovrat narod.

So then, thou must consider that, not for thine own righteousness, is Yahweh thy God giving unto thee this good land to possess it, —for a stiff-necked people, thou art.

7 Pamti i ne zaboravi kako si gnjevio Gospoda Boga svojega u pustinji; od onoga dana kad izidoste iz zemlje Misirske pa dokle doðoste na ovo mjesto, nepokorni bijaste Gospodu.

Remember—do not forget, how thou didst provoke Yahweh thy God, in the desert, —yea from the day when thou camest forth out of the and of Egypt until ye entered as far as this place, have ye been quarrelling, with Yahweh.

8 I kod Horiva razgnjeviste Gospoda, i od gnjeva šæaše vas Gospod da istrijebi.

Even in Horeb, ye provoked Yahweh to wrath, —so that Yahweh showed himself angry with you to destroy you.

9 Kad izidoh na goru da primim ploèe kamene, ploèe zavjeta, koji s vama uèini Gospod, tada stajah na gori èetrdeset dana i èetrdeset noæi hljeba ne jeduæi ni vode pijuæi.

When I went up into the mountain to receive the tables of stone—the tables of the covenant, which Yahweh had solemnised with you, then abode I in the mountain forty days and forty nights, food, did I not, eat, and water, did I not drink.

10 I dade mi Gospod dvije ploèe kamene, ispisane prstom Gospodnjim, na kojima bijahu rijeèi sve koje vam izgovori Gospod na gori isred ognja na dan zbora vašega.

Then did Yahweh deliver unto me the two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, —and [there was] upon them, according to all the words which Yahweh had spoken with you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the convocation.

11 Poslije èetrdeset dana i èetrdeset noæi dade mi Gospod dvije ploèe kamene, ploèe zavjetne.

So then it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yahweh gave unto me the two tables of stone the tables of the covenant.

12 I reèe mi Gospod: ustani, siði brže odavde; jer se pokvari narod tvoj koji si izveo iz Misira, siðoše brzo s puta koji im zapovjedih, i naèiniše sebi liven lik.

Then said Yahweh unto me—Up! get down quickly out of this mountain, for thy people whom thou hast brought forth out of Egypt, have broken faith, —they have turned aside quickly, out of the way which I commanded them, —they have made them a molten image.

13 Još mi reèe Gospod govoreæi: pogledah ovaj narod, i eto je narod tvrda vrata.

And Yahweh spake unto me saying, —I have looked on this people, and lo! a stiff-necked people, it is.

14 Pusti me da ih istrijebim i ime njihovo zatrem pod nebom; a od tebe æu uèiniti narod jaèi i veæi nego što je ovaj.

Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and wipe out their name from under the heavens, —and make thee into a nation stronger and more in number than they.

15 I ja se vratih i siðoh s gore, a gora ognjem goraše, i dvije ploèe zavjetne bijahu mi u ruku.

So I turned, and came down out of the mountain, now the mountain was burning with fire, —and the two tables of the covenant were upon my two hands.

16 I pogledah, a to zgriješiste Gospodu Bogu svojemu salivši sebi tele, i brzo siðoste s puta koji vam bješe zapovjedio Gospod.

Then looked I, and lo! ye had sinned against Yahweh your God, ye had made you a molten calf, —ye had turned aside quickly, out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you.

17 Tada uzeh one dvije ploèe i bacih ih iz ruku svojih, i razbih ih pred vama.

So I seized the two tables, and cast them from off my two hands, —and brake them in pieces before your eyes.

18 Potom padoh i ležah pred Gospodom kao prije, èetrdeset dana i èetrdeset noæi, hljeba ne jeduæi ni vode pijuæi, radi svijeh grijeha vaših, kojima se ogriješiste uèinivši što je zlo pred Gospodom i razgnjevivši ga.

Then lay I prostrate before Yahweh as at the first, forty days and forty nights, food, did I not eat, and water, did I not drink, —because of all your sin which ye had sinned, in doing the thing that was wicked, in the eyes of Yahweh. to provoke him to anger.

19 Jer se bojah gnjeva i jarosti, kojom se bješe Gospod razljutio na vas da vas istrijebi; i usliši me Gospod i tada.

For I shrank with fear from the face of the anger and the hot displeasure, wherewith Yahweh was provoked against you to destroy you, —but Yahweh hearkened unto me, even at that time.

20 Bješe se Gospod i na Arona razgnjevio veoma da ga šæaše ubiti; ali se molih tada i za Arona.

And with Aaron, did Yahweh show himself exceedingly angry, to destroy him, —so I prostrated myself, even in behalf of Aaron at that time.

21 I uzeh grijeh vaš koji uèiniste, tele, i sažegoh ga ognjem, i razbih ga i satrh ga u prah, i prosuh prah njegov u potok, koji teèe s one gore.

And your sin which ye had made even the calf, took I and burned it up with fire, and pounded it very small, until it was fine as dust, —then cast I the dust thereof into the torrent that descended out of the mountain.

22 I u Taveri i u Masi i u Kivrot-Atavi gnjeviste Gospoda.

Also, at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hataavah, a cause of provocation, became ye unto Yahweh.

23 I kad vas posla Gospod iz Kadis-Varnije govoreæi: idite i uzmite tu zemlju koju sam vam dao, opet se suprotiste rijeèi Gospoda Boga svojega, i ne vjerovaste mu i ne poslušaste glasa njegova.

Also when Yahweh sent you out of Kadesh-barnea saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given unto you then quarreled ye with the bidding of Yahweh your God, and trusted him not, neither hearkened unto his voice.

24 Nepokorni bijaste Gospodu otkad vas poznah.

Ye have been quarrelling, with Yahweh, —from the day that I first knew you.

25 Zato padoh i ležah pred Gospodom èetrdeset dana i èetrdeset noæi, jer bješe rekao Gospod da æe vas potrti.

Thus, then lay I prostrate before Yahweh, the forty days and the forty nights that I did lie prostrate, —because Yahweh spake of destroying you.

26 I molih se Gospodu i rekoh: Gospode, Gospode! nemoj potrti naroda svojega i našljedstva svojega, koje si izbavio velièanstvom svojim, koje si izveo iz Misira krjepkom rukom.

Therefore I prostrated myself unto Yahweh and said, My Lord Yahweh! Do not destroy thy people even thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed in thy greatness, —which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a firm hand.

27 Opomeni se sluga svojih Avrama, Isaka i Jakova, ne gledaj na tvrðu naroda ovoga, na nevaljalstvo njegovo i na grijehe njegove;

Have remembrance of thy servants, of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, —do not regard the obduracy of this people, or their lawlessness or their sin:

28 Da ne reku koji žive u zemlji odakle si nas izveo: nije ih mogao Gospod uvesti u zemlju koju im obeæa, ili mrzio je na njih, zato ih izvede da ih pobije u pustinji.

lest the land out of which thou hast brought us forth say, Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land of which he had spoken to them, —and because he hated them, took he them forth to put them to death in the desert.

29 Jer su tvoj narod i tvoje našljedstvo, koje si izveo silom svojom velikom i mišicom svojom podignutom.

Yet, they, are thy people and thine inheritance, —whom thou hast brought forth with thy great strength, and with thy stretched-out arm.
