5 Мојсијева 7
1 Кад те Господ Бог твој уведе у земљу у коју идеш да је наследиш, и отера испред тебе народе многе, Хетеје и Гергесеје и Амореје и Хананеје и Ферезеје и Јевеје и Јевусеје, седам народа већих и јачих од тебе,
“Yahweh our God will bring you to the land that you will soon enter and occupy. As you advance, he will expel from that land seven people-groups that are more powerful and more numerous than you are. He will expel the Heth people-group, the Girgash people-group, the Amor people-group, the Canaan people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group.
2 И преда их Господ Бог твој теби, и ти их разбијеш, потри их, не хватај с њима вере, нити се смилуј на њих;
When Yahweh our God enables you to defeat [DOU] them, you must kill all of them. You must not make (an alliance/a peace treaty) with any of them. You must not act mercifully toward them.
3 Нити се пријатељи с њима; кћери своје не дај за сина њиховог, нити кћери њихове узимај за сина свог.
You must not marry any of them. You must not allow your daughters to marry any of their sons or allow your sons to marry any of their daughters.
4 Јер би отпадила сина твог од мене, и служио би боговима другим, те би се разгневио Господ на вас и потро вас брзо.
Because, if you did that, those people would cause your children to stop worshiping Yahweh and to worship other gods. If that happens, Yahweh will be very angry with you and he will get rid of you immediately.
5 Него им ово учините: олтаре њихове раскопајте, и ликове њихове поломите, лугове њихове исеците, и резане богове њихове огњем спалите.
This is what you must do to those people: Tear down their (altars/places for sacrificing animals), break apart the stone pillars [that are dedicated to their male god Baal], cut down the [poles that they use when they worship the goddess] Asherah, and burn their [wooden] idols.
6 Јер си ти народ свет Господу Богу свом, тебе је изабрао Господ Бог твој да му будеш народ особит мимо све народе на земљи.
You must do that because you are a group of people who belong to Yahweh our God. He has chosen you from among all the people-groups in the world to be his own special people.
7 Не зато што би вас било више него других народа прихвати вас Господ и изабра вас; јер вас беше мање него иког другог народа;
“It was not because you were more numerous than any other people-group that Yahweh preferred you; you are one of the smallest people-groups on the earth.
8 Него што вас Господ милује и што држи заклетву којом се заклео оцима вашим, зато вас је Господ извео руком крепком и избавио вас из куће ропске, из руке Фараона, цара мисирског.
Instead, it is because Yahweh loved you and because he wanted to do what he vowed to your ancestors. That is the reason that he rescued you by his great power [MTY], and freed you from being slaves [MTY] of the king of Egypt.
9 И тако знај да је Господ Бог твој Бог, Бог веран, који држи завет свој и милост своју до хиљаду кољена онима који Га љубе и држе заповести Његове,
So do not forget that Yahweh our God is the only/true God. He will do what he agreed to do for you, and he will faithfully love (for 1,000 generations/forever) all those who love him and who obey his commandments.
10 И плаћа онима који мрзе на њ, свакоме истребљујући га, и не одгађа ономе који мрзи на њ, плаћа свакоме.
But for those who hate him, he will (pay them back/do to them what they deserve); he will punish them and quickly get rid of them.
11 Зато држи заповести и уредбе и законе, које ти данас ја заповедам, да их твориш.
“So you must be sure to obey all the commandments and rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.
12 И ако ове законе узаслушате и уздржите и устворите и Господ ће Бог држати теби завет и милост, за коју се заклео оцима твојим;
If you heed these commands and obey them faithfully, Yahweh our God will do what he has agreed to do for you, and he will faithfully love you, which is what he vowed to your ancestors that he would do.
13 И миловаће те и благословиће те и умножиће те; благословиће плод утробе твоје и плод земље твоје, жито твоје и вино твоје и уље твоје, плод говеда твојих и стада оваца твојих у земљи за коју се заклео оцима твојим да ће ти је дати.
He will love you and bless you. He will enable you to have many children [DOU]. He will bless your fields, with the result that you will have plenty of grain and [grapes to make] wine and plenty of [olive] oil. You will have many cattle and sheep. He will do all these things for you in the land that he promised to your ancestors that he would give to you.
14 Бићеш благословен мимо све народе: неће бити у теби ни мушког ни женског неплодног, ни међу стоком твојом.
He will bless you more than he will bless any other people-group. All of you will be able to have/produce children [LIT]. All of your livestock will be able to produce offspring.
15 И уклониће од тебе Господ сваку болест, од љутих зала мисирских која знаш неће ниједно пустити на тебе, него ће пустити на оне који мрзе на те.
And Yahweh will protect you from all illnesses. You will not be afflicted with any of the dreadful diseases that [our ancestors knew about] in Egypt, but all your enemies will be inflicted with those diseases.
16 И истреби све народе које ти Господ Бог твој преда, нека их не пожали око твоје, и немој служити боговима њиховим, јер би ти то била замка.
You must get rid of all the people-groups that Yahweh our God will enable you to conquer. Do not [SYN] act mercifully toward any of them. And do not worship their gods, because if you do that, it would be like falling into a trap [from which you will never be able to escape].
17 Ако би рекао у срцу свом: Већи су ови народи од мене, како их могу изгнати?
“Do not think to yourselves, ‘These people-groups are more numerous/powerful than we are, so we certainly cannot [RHQ] expel them.’
18 Не бој их се; памти добро шта је учинио Господ Бог твој с Фараоном и са свим Мисирцима,
Do not be afraid of them. Instead, think about what Yahweh our God did to the king of Egypt and to all the people whom he [ruled].
19 Велика кушања, која видеше очи твоје, и знаке и чудеса и руку крепку и мишицу подигнуту, којом те изведе Господ Бог твој; онако ће учинити Господ Бог твој са свим народима од којих би се уплашио.
Do not forget the terrible plagues that your ancestors saw [Yahweh inflict on the people of Egypt], and the many [DOU] miracles [that he performed], and the very powerful [DOU, MTY] way by which he brought your ancestors out [of Egypt]. Yahweh our God will do the same kind of things to the people-groups that you are afraid of now.
20 И стршљене ће послати Господ Бог твој на њих докле не изгину који би остали и сакрили се од тебе.
Furthermore, he will cause them to become terrified, and he will destroy those who remain alive and run away to hide from you.
21 Не плаши се од њих, јер је Господ Бог твој усред тебе, Бог велики и страшни.
Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God will be with/among you. He is a great God; he is the one you should be afraid of.
22 Господ ће Бог твој мало по мало потрти те народе испред тебе; нећеш их моћи одједанпут истребити, да се не би умножило на тебе зверје пољско.
He will expel those people-groups gradually. You should not [try to] expel all of them at one time, because if you did that, the number of wild animals would quickly increase, [and you would not be able to get rid of them].
23 Али ће их предати Господ Бог твој теби, и затираће их затирањем великим докле се не затру.
Instead, Yahweh will enable you to defeat your enemies [one people-group at a time]. He will cause them to panic until they are destroyed.
24 И предаће цареве њихове у твоје руке да затреш име њихово под небом, неће се ниједан одржати пред тобом, докле их не потреш.
He will enable you to defeat [IDM] their kings. After you kill them, their names will be forgotten {people will forget about them}. No people-group will be able to stop you; you will destroy all of them.
25 Резане богове њихове спали огњем, немој да се полакомиш на сребро или злато што је на њима и да га узмеш, да ти не буде замка, јер је гадно пред Господом Богом твојим.
You must burn the wooden idols [that represent] their gods. Do not desire to take the silver or gold [decorations] that are on those idols, because if you take them for yourselves, they will be like a trap [to cause you to want to worship those idols]. Yahweh hates [the worship of those idols].
26 И немој да унесеш гада у дом свој, да не будеш проклет као и он, него се гади на њ и грози се од њега, јер је проклето.
You must not bring any of those disgusting idols into your houses, because if you do that, God will curse you like he curses them. You must hate and despise [DOU] those idols, because they are things that [Yahweh] has cursed.”
