Второзаконие 4
1 И ныне, Израилю, послушай оправданий и судов, елика аз учу вас днесь делати, да поживете и умножитеся, и вшедше наследите землю, юже Господь Бог отец ваших дает вам в наследие:
“Now, you Israeli people, obey all the rules and regulations [DOU] that I will teach you. If you do that, you will remain alive and you will enter and occupy/capture the land that Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [worshiped], is giving to you.
2 да не приложите к словеси, еже аз заповедаю вам, ниже да отимете от него: сохраните заповеди Господа Бога нашего, елика аз заповедаю вам днесь.
Do not add anything to what I command you, and do not take anything away from what I tell you. Obey all the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you.
3 Очи ваши видеша вся, елика сотвори Господь Бог наш Веельфегору: яко всяк человек иже иде вслед Веельфегора, потреби его Господь Бог наш от вас:
“You have seen what Yahweh did at Baal-Peor [Mountain]. He got rid of all the people who worshiped [the god] Baal there,
4 вы же, прилежащии Господеви Богу вашему, живете вси до днесь:
but you who faithfully [continued to worship] Yahweh our God are still alive today.
5 видите, показах вам оправдания и суды, якоже заповеда мне Господь Бог мой сотворити сице на земли, в нюже вы идете тамо, наследити ю:
“Note that I have taught you all the rules and regulations, just like Yahweh our God told me to do. He wants you to obey them [when you are living] in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
6 и сохраните, и сотворите, яко сия премудрость ваша и смышление пред всеми языки, елицы аще услышат вся оправдания сия и рекут: се, людие премудрии и уметелны: язык великий сей.
Obey them faithfully because, [if you do that], you will show the people of other nations that you are very wise. When they hear about all these laws, they will say, ‘The people of this great nation [of Israel] are certainly very wise [DOU]!’
7 Кий бо язык тако велий, емуже есть бог, приближаяйся ему, яко Господь Бог наш во всех, в нихже аще призовем Его?
Even if other nations are great, there is none [RHQ] of them that has a god who is as near to them as Yahweh our God is to us! Whenever we call out to him [to help us, he answers/helps us]
8 И кий язык велик, емуже суть оправдания и суды правы по всему закону сему, егоже аз даю пред вами днесь?
And there is no [RHQ] other nation, even if it is a great nation, that has laws that are as just/fair as the laws that I am telling to you today.
9 Вонми себе и снабди душу твою зело, и не забуди всех словес, яже видеста очи твои, и да не отступят от сердца твоего вся дни живота твоего: и да наставиши сыны твоя и сыны сынов твоих,
“But be very careful! [DOU, IDM] Do not forget what you [SYN] have seen [God do]. Remember those things as long as you are alive. Tell them to your children and your grandchildren.
10 в день в оньже стоясте пред Господем Богом вашим в Хориве в день собрания, егда рече Господь ко мне: собери ко Мне люди, и да слышат словеса Моя, да научатся боятися Мене вся дни, в няже сии живут на земли, и сыны своя да научат.
Tell them about the day that your ancestors stood in the presence of Yahweh our God at Sinai [Mountain], when he said to me, ‘Gather the people together, in order that they can hear what I say. I want them to learn to have an awesome respect for me as long as they are alive, and I want them to teach their children to do that also.’
11 И приидосте, и стасте под горою: и гора горяше огнем даже до небесе, тма, мрак, и вихр.
[Tell them that] your ancestors came near the bottom of the mountain, while the mountain burned with a fire that went up to the sky, and the mountain was covered with dark clouds and black [smoke].
12 И глагола Господь к вам на горе из среды огня: глас словес Его вы слышасте, и образа не видесте, токмо глас:
Then Yahweh spoke to your ancestors out of the middle of the fire. Your ancestors heard him speak, but they did not see him. They only heard his voice.
13 и возвести вам завет Свой, егоже заповеда вам творити, десять словес, и написа я на двоих скрижалех каменных:
And he declared to them his agreement. That agreement contained the Ten Commandments that he wants you to obey. He wrote those on two stone tablets.
14 и мне заповеда Господь во время оно, научити вас оправданием и судам, творити вам я на земли, в нюже вы входите тамо наследити ю.
Yahweh commanded me to teach all the rules and regulations to you, in order that you would obey them in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.”
15 И снабдите душы своя зело, яко не видесте всякаго подобия в день, в оньже глагола Господь к вам в горе Хориве из среды огня:
“On the day that Yahweh spoke to your ancestors at Sinai [Mountain], he was invisible. So, be careful
16 не беззаконнуйте, и не сотворите себе самим подобия ваянна, всякаго образа подобия мужеска пола или женска:
that you do not sin by making for yourselves any idol [of something that can be seen!] not make an idol that resembles any person, either a man or a woman,
17 и подобия всякаго скота, иже есть на земли, подобия всякия птицы пернатыя, под небесем парящия:
or that resembles any animal or any bird
18 подобия всякаго гада, иже плежет по земли: подобия всякия рыбы, елики суть в водах под землею:
or any (reptile/creature that scurries across the ground) or any fish in the deep ocean.
19 да не когда воззрев на небо и видев солнце и луну и звезды, и всю красоту небесную, прельстився поклонишися им и послужиши им, яже раздели Господь Бог твой всем языком, иже под небесем.
And be careful to not look up toward the sky and be tempted to worship anything that you see there—the sun or the moon or the stars. Yahweh our God has given those to [be a blessing to] all people everywhere, [but you must not worship them].
20 Вас же взя Господь Бог и изведе вас от пещи железны из Египта, да будете Ему людие в жребий, якоже в днешний день.
Yahweh has brought your ancestors out of Egypt, where [they were suffering as though] they were in a blazing furnace, in order that they would be people who belong to him, which is what you are today.
21 И Господь Бог разгневася на мя о словесех ваших, и клятся, да не прейду Иордана сего и да не вниду в землю, юже Господь Бог твой дает тебе в наследие:
“But Yahweh was angry with me because of [what] your ancestors [made me do]. He vowed that I would not cross the Jordan [River] to enter the good/fertile land that he is giving to you.
22 аз бо умру в сей земли, и не прейду Иордана сего, вы же прейдете и наследите землю благую сию.
He said that I must die here in this land and never cross the Jordan [River]. But you will go across it, and you will occupy that land.
23 Вонмите вы, да не когда забудете завета Господа Бога вашего, егоже завеща к вам, и да не сотворите сами себе изваянна подобия всех, яже заповеда тебе Господь Бог твой,
Be sure that you do not forget the agreement that Yahweh our God made with you. He commanded you to not make any kind of idol, because he has forbidden that.
24 яко Господь Бог твой огнь потребляяй есть, Бог ревнитель.
[You must not do that] because Yahweh your God will destroy [anyone who worships idols, ] like [MET] a fire completely destroys things. He [wants people to worship only him, he] (cannot accept/will punish) people who worship anyone or anything else.
25 Аще же родиши сыны и сыны сынов твоих, и умедлите на земли, и возбеззаконнуете, и сотворите изваянно подобие всякаго, и сотворите злое пред Господем Богом, вашим, еже раздражити Его,
“When you have been in the land [of Canaan] for a long time and you have children and grandchildren, do not sin by making an idol that represents anything at all, because Yahweh says that is evil, and if you do that, you will cause him to become angry with you [and punish you].
26 засвидетелствую вам днесь небесем и землею, яко пагубою погибнете от земли, на нюже вы преходите чрез Иордан тамо наследити ю: не пребудете много дний на ней, но потреблением потребитеся:
Today I am requesting everyone who is in heaven and everyone who is on the earth [MTY] to watch what you are doing. [If you disobey what I am telling you], you will soon all die in the land that you will be crossing the Jordan [River] to occupy. You will not live very long there; Yahweh will completely get rid of many [HYP] of you.
27 и разсыплет вы Господь во всех языцех, и останетеся мали числом во языцех, в няже введет вы Господь тамо,
And [the rest of you], Yahweh will force you to go and live among the people of many other nations. Only a few of you will (survive/remain alive) there.
28 и послужите тамо богом иным, делом рук человеческих, древу и камению, иже не узрят и не услышат, ни ядят, ни обоняют:
When you are in those nations, you will worship gods that are made of wood and stone, gods made by humans, gods that cannot see anything or hear anything or eat anything or smell anything.
29 и взыщете тамо Господа Бога вашего, и обрящете Его, егда взыщете Его от всего вашего сердца и от всея души вашея в скорби вашей.
But while you are there, if you will try to know Yahweh your God, and if you try with your entire inner being to know him, he will (answer/reveal himself to) you.
30 И постигнут тя вся сия словеса в последняя дни, и обратишися к Господеви Богу твоему, и услышиши глас Его,
In the future, after you have been mistreated there and all those bad things happen to you, you will again worship only Yahweh and obey him.
31 яко Бог щедр и милосерд Господь Бог твой, не оставит тебе, ниже потребит тебе, не забудет завета отец твоих, имже клятся им.
Yahweh is a God who acts mercifully. [If you continue to obey him], he will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the agreement that he solemnly made with your ancestors.”
32 Вопросите дний первых, бывших прежде вас, от дне в оньже сотвори Бог человека на земли, и от края небесе даже до края небесе, аще бысть по словеси великому сему, аще слышано бысть сицево:
“Now think about the past, about the time before you were born, about all the time since God first created people here on the earth. You could search everywhere, in heaven and on the earth. (Has anything like this ever happened that is as great as [what Yahweh did for the Israeli people]?/Certainly nothing has ever happened that is as great [as what Yahweh did for the Israeli people].) [RHQ] (Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?/Certainly no one has ever heard of anything like this.) [RHQ]
33 аще (кий) язык слыша глас Бога живаго глаголюща от среды огня, имже образом слышал еси ты, и жив был еси:
(Has any group ever remained alive after they heard a god speak to them from the middle of a fire, like we did?/Certainly no group has ever remained alive after they heard a god speak to them from the middle of a fire, like we did.) [RHQ]
34 аще искуси бог вшед взяти себе язык от среды языка искушением, и знамении и чудесы, и бранию и рукою сильною, и мышцею высокою и видении великими, по всему елико сотвори Господь Бог наш во Египте пред тобою зрящим,
Certainly no other god has ever tried to take a [huge] group of people from one nation [to another location], like he did for us when he brought us out of Egypt. We saw Yahweh our God use great power [MTY, DOU] when he performed many kinds of [DOU] miracles, and sent plagues, and did many other very terrifying things in Egypt for us, [and rescued us when the army of Egypt tried to fight against us].
35 яко да разумееши ты, яко Господь Бог твой сей Бог есть, и несть разве Его.
“Yahweh showed all these things to you, in order that you would know that only he is truly God, and that there is no other God.
36 От небесе слышан сотвори тебе глас Свой, еже научити тя, и на земли показа тебе огнь Свой великий, и глаголголы Его слышал еси из среды огня:
He allowed your ancestors to hear him speak from heaven in order that he could discipline them. Here on the earth he allowed them to see his great fire [on Sinai Mountain], and he spoke to them from the middle of the fire.
37 занеже возлюби отцы твоя, избра семя их по них вас, и изведе тя Сам силою Своею великою из Египта
Because he loved our ancestors, he chose you Israelis who are their descendants, and by his great power he brought your ancestors out of Egypt.
38 потребити языки великия и крепчайшыя тебе пред лицем твоим, ввести тя, дати тебе землю их в наследие, якоже имаши днесь.
[As they advanced], he expelled the people of nations that were greater and more powerful than they were, in order that he could allow them to capture their land and cause it to become yours, which is [what is happening] now.
39 И увеси днесь, и обратишися умом, яко Господь Бог твой Сей Бог на небеси горе и на земли долу, и несть разве Его,
“So today you should (meditate on/think about) the fact that Yahweh is God, that he is/rules in heaven and also on the earth, and that there is no other god.
40 и да сохраниши заповеди Его и оправдания Его, елика аз заповедаю тебе днесь, да благо тебе будет и сыном твоим по тебе, яко да будете долголетни на земли, юже Господь Бог твой дает тебе вся дни.
Obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today, in order that things will go well for you and for your descendants, and that you will live a long time in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, [to belong to you] forever.”
41 Тогда отдели Моисей три грады об ону страну Иордана на восток солнца,
Then Moses/I set apart three cities that are on the east side of the Jordan [River].
42 еже убегати тамо убийце, иже аще убиет ближняго не ведый, и сей не ненавидя его прежде вчера и третияго дне, и да вбегнет во един град от сих и жив будет:
If someone accidentally killed another person, a person who had not been his enemy previously, he could escape to one of those cities. He would be safe/protected in one of those cities [because the people there would protect him].
43 Восор в пустыни в земли селней Рувиму, и Раммоф в Галааде Гадду, и Гавлон в Васане Манассии.
For the tribe of Reuben, Moses/I set apart Bezer [city] in the (plateau/high level) area. For the tribe of Gad, Moses/I set apart Ramoth [city] in the Gilead [area]. For the tribe of Manasseh, Moses/I set apart Golan [city] in the Bashan [region].
44 Сей закон, егоже предложи Моисей пред сыны Израилтескими:
Moses/I gave [God’s] laws to the Israeli people.
45 сия свидения и оправдания и суды, елика глагола Моисей сыном Израилевым в пустыни, изшедшым им из земли Египетския,
They included all the rules and instructions and commands that Moses/I gave to them, after they/we had come out of Egypt,
46 об он пол Иордана, в дебри, близ дому Фогорова, в земли Сиона царя Аморрейска, иже живяше во Есевоне, егоже изби Моисей и сынове Израилевы, изшедшым им из земли Египетския.
when they/we were in the valley east of the Jordan [River]. They/We were across from Beth-Peor [town], in the land that [previously] was ruled by Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city]. Moses/I and the other Israelis had defeated his [army] when they/we came out of Egypt.
47 И наследиша землю его и землю Ога царя Васанска, дву царей Аморрейских, иже бяху об он пол Иордана на восток солнца,
They/We captured Sihon’s land and the land that Og, the king of the Bashan [region], ruled. They were the two kings who ruled the Amor people-group [in the area] east of the Jordan [River].
48 от Ароира, иже есть во устии водотечи Арнони и у горы Сиона, яже есть Аермон,
Their land extended from Aroer [town in the south] along the Arnon [River], as far [north] as Sirion Mountain, which [most people] call Hermon Mountain.
49 всю араву об ону страну Иордана, на восток солнца под асидофом Тесаным.
It also included all the area east of the Jordan [River] Valley, all the way south to the Dead Sea and east to the slopes of Pisgah [Mountain].
