< 5 Mojzes 2 >
1 Potem smo se obrnili in šli na svoje potovanje v divjino, ob poti Rdečega morja, kakor mi je Gospod govoril in mnogo dni smo obkrožali gorovje Seír.
“Then we turned around and went through the desert toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba), as Yahweh told us to do, and we wandered in the Edom area for many years.
2 In Gospod mi je spregovoril, rekoč:
Then Yahweh said to me,
3 ›Dovolj dolgo ste obkrožali to goro, obrnite se proti severu.
‘You have been wandering around this hilly area for a long enough time. Now turn [and travel] toward the north.
4 Zapovej ljudstvu, rekoč: ›Šli boste skozi pokrajino svojih bratov, Ezavovih otrok, ki prebivajo v Seírju in oni se vas bodo bali, zato dobro pazite nase.
And tell the people that they are about to travel near the land that belongs to the descendants of Esau, who are also descendants of Isaac. They live in the [hilly] Edom region. They will be afraid of you,
5 Ne vmešavajte se vanje, kajti ne bom vam dal od njihove dežele, ne, niti za širino stopala ne, ker sem gorovje Seír izročil Ezavu za posest.
but do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you even a tiny bit [HYP] of their land. I have given that land to the descendants of Esau.
6 Od njih boste hrano kupovali za denar, da boste lahko jedli in od njih boste tudi vodo kupovali za denar, da boste lahko pili.
[When you travel near their land], buy food and water from them.’
7 Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, te je blagoslovil pri vseh delih tvoje roke. Pozna tvojo hojo skozi to veliko divjino. Teh štirideset let je bil Gospod, tvoj Bog, s teboj; nikakršnega pomanjkanja nisi trpel.‹‹
Do not forget that Yahweh our God has blessed you in everything that you [SYN] have done. He knows [what has happened to you while] you have wandered in this huge desert. But he has been with you during those 40 years, and as a result you have had everything that you needed [LIT].
8 Ko smo šli mimo svojih bratov, Ezavovih otrok, ki so prebivali v Seírju, skozi pot ravnine od Eláta in od Ecjón Geberja, smo se obrnili in prešli po poti moábske divjine.
So we continued to travel. We avoided going through the hilly area where the descendants of Esau live. We stayed away from the road through the Jordan [River] Valley past Ezion-Geber and Elath [towns], and we turned and traveled northeast toward the desert area where the Moab people-group lives.
9 Gospod mi je rekel: ›Moábcev ne spravi v tegobo niti se z njimi ne spoprimi v boju, kajti njihove dežele ti ne bom dal v last, ker sem Ar dal Lotovim otrokom za posest.‹
Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not bother/harass the people of Moab, and do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you any of their land. [Do not forget that] they are descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot, and I have given to them Ar [city, their capital, and the other areas in that country].’”
10 Emejci so v njej prebivali v preteklih časih, veliko, številno in visoko ljudstvo, kakor Anákovci,
A large group of giants called Emim formerly lived there. They were strong and numerous, and as tall as the giants who were descendants of Anak.
11 ki so bili tudi prišteti med velikane, kakor Anákovci, toda Moábci so jih imenovali Emejci.
They and the descendants of Anak are also called the Repha giants, but the people of Moab call them Emim.
12 Tudi Horéjci so poprej prebivali v Seírju, toda Ezavovi otroci so jih pregnali, ko so jih uničili pred seboj in prebivali namesto njih, kakor je Izrael storil v deželi njihove posesti, ki jim jo je dal Gospod.
The Hor people-group also formerly lived in the Edom area, but the descendants of Esau chased them out. They defeated and killed them and (settled in/occupied) their land, just as the Israeli people later expelled their enemies from the land that Yahweh gave to them.
13 ›Sedaj se vzdignite, ‹ sem rekel ›in se odpravite čez potok Zered.‹ In šli smo preko potoka Zered.
[I also said to the Israeli people], “Then we crossed the Zered Gorge, as Yahweh told us to do.
14 Časa, v katerem smo prišli iz Kadeš Barnée, dokler nismo prešli preko potoka Zered, je bilo osemintrideset let, dokler ni pomrl ves rod bojevnikov izmed vojske, kakor jim je prisegel Gospod.
It had been thirty-eight years from the time we first left Kadesh-Barnea until we crossed the Zered Gorge. During those years, all the Israeli (fighting men/soldiers) of that generation had died, as Yahweh had vowed would happen.
15 Kajti zares je bila Gospodova roka zoper njih, da jih uniči izmed vojske, dokler niso bili použiti.
They died because Yahweh opposed them, until he had gotten rid of all of them.
16 Tako se je pripetilo, ko so bili vsi bojevniki izmed ljudstva použiti in mrtvi,
After all the men who had been old enough to fight in wars had died [DOU],
17 da mi je Gospod spregovoril, rekoč:
Yahweh said to me,
18 ›Danes boš prešel skozi Ar, moábsko pokrajino
‘Today you all must cross the border into the Moab region, near Ar, [their capital city].
19 in ko prideš blizu, nasproti Amónovih otrok, jih ne spravi v tegobo niti se ne vmešavaj vanje, kajti od dežele Amónovih otrok ti ne bom dal nobene posesti, ker sem jo dal Lotovim otrokom za posest.‹
When you come near the border of the land where the Ammon people-group live, do not bother/harass them or start to fight against them. They are also descendants of Lot, so I am not going to give you any of the land that I have given to them.’”
20 (Tudi ta je bila šteta [za] deželo velikanov. Tam so v starih časih prebivali velikani. Amónci so jih imenovali Zamzuméjce,
That region is also called the land of the Repha giants, who formerly lived there. The Ammon people-group call them the Zamzum group.
21 veliko, številno in visoko ljudstvo, kakor Anákovci. Toda Gospod jih je uničil pred njimi in oni so jih nasledili in prebivali namesto njih,
They were a large and powerful group, who were as tall as the descendants of Anak. But Yahweh got rid of them, and the Ammon people-group expelled them and took their land away from them and started to live there.
22 kakor je storil Ezavovim otrokom, ki so prebivali v Seírju, ko je pred njimi uničil Horéjce. Le-ti so jih nasledili in celo do tega dne prebivali namesto njih.
Yahweh had done the same thing for the descendants of Esau who live in the hilly area of Edom. He got rid of the Hor people-group, with the result that the Edom people-group took their land from them and started to live there. They still live there.
23 Avéjce, ki so prebivali v Haserimu, celó do Gaze, so Kaftorejci, ki so izšli iz Kaftorja, uničili in prebivali namesto njih.)
People who came from Crete [Island] got rid of the Av group [who previously lived in the land close to the Mediterranean Sea], as far south as Gaza. They took their land from them and started to live there.
24 ›Dvignite se, pojdite na potovanje in prečkajte reko Arnón. Glej, v tvojo roko sem izročil Amoréjca Sihóna, kralja v Hešbónu in njegovo deželo. Začnite jo jemati v last in se z njim spoprimite v bitki.
“[After we had gone through the Moab region], Yahweh said to us, ‘Now cross the Arnon [River]. I will help you to defeat [IDM] [the army of] Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lives in Heshbon [city]. So attack their army and start to take their land from them.
25 Danes bom začel pred teboj spuščati grozo in strah nad narode, ki so pod celotnim nebom, ki bodo slišali poročilo o tebi in bodo trepetali in bodo zaradi tebe v tesnobi.‹
Today I will begin to cause everyone, everywhere, to be afraid of you. Everyone who hears about you will tremble and be terrified.’
26 In odposlal sem poslance iz divjine Kedemót k Sihónu, kralju v Hešbónu, z besedami miru, rekoč:
Then I sent messengers to go from the desert to King Sihon at Heshbon. I told them to give this peaceful message to the king:
27 ›Naj grem skozi tvojo deželo. Šel bom vzdolž visoke poti, ne bom se obrnil niti k desni roki niti k levi.
‘Please allow us to travel through your land. We [promise that we] will stay on the road; we will not turn off to the right or to the left.
28 Hrano mi boš prodajal za denar, da bom lahko jedel in vodo mi [boš] dajal za denar, da bom lahko pil, samo na svojih stopalih bom šel skozi
We will pay for any food or water that you allow us to buy. We want only to walk through your country,
29 (kakor so mi storili Ezavovi otroci, ki prebivajo v Seírju in Moábci, ki prebivajo v Aru), dokler ne bom šel čez Jordan v deželo, ki nam jo daje Gospod, naš Bog.‹
until we cross the Jordan [River] into the land that Yahweh our God is giving to us. Do for us just as the descendants of Esau who live in the Edom area and the Moab people-group did for us when they allowed us to go through their areas.’
30 Toda Sihón, kralj v Hešbónu, nam ni dovolil iti mimo njega, kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je zakrknil njegovega duha in njegovo srce naredil trdovratno, da bi ga lahko izročil v tvojo roko, kakor se kaže ta dan.
But King Sihon would not allow us to go through his country. That was because Yahweh our God caused him to be stubborn [IDM]. The result was that Yahweh enabled us to defeat his army and take his land [IDM], which we still live in.
31 Gospod mi je rekel: ›Glej, pred teboj sem ti začel dajati Sihóna in njegovo deželo. Začni jo jemati v last, da boš lahko podedoval njegovo deželo.‹
Yahweh said to me, ‘Listen! I am about to allow you to defeat Sihon’s [army] and to take the people’s land from them. So start to occupy it!’
32 Potem je zoper nas prišel ven Sihón, on in njegovo ljudstvo, da se borijo pri Jahacu.
Then Sihon came out [of the city] with all his army to fight against us at Jahaz [town].
33 Gospod, naš Bog, ga je pred nami izročil in udarili smo njega, njegove sinove in vse njegovo ljudstvo.
But God enabled us to defeat [DOU] them, and we killed Sihon and his sons and all his soldiers.
34 Ob tistem času smo zavzeli vsa njegova mesta in popolnoma uničili moške, ženske in malčke iz vsakega mesta. Nobenega nismo pustili ostati.
We captured all their cities and destroyed them all. We killed all the men and women and children; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
35 Samo živino smo si vzeli za plen in ukradeno blago mest, ki smo jih zavzeli.
We took the valuable things that were in the cities that we captured and also their cattle.
36 Od Aroêrja, ki je pri bregu reke Arnón in od mesta, ki je pri reki, celo do Gileáda, tam ni bilo niti enega mesta premočnega za nas. Gospod, naš Bog, jih je vsa izročil nam.
Yahweh our God enabled us to capture [IDM] all their towns from Aroer [in the south], which is at the edge of the Arnon River [Valley], to the Gilead [region in the north]. Some of their cities had [walls around them], but we were able to [climb over them].
37 Samo v deželo Amónovih otrok nisi prišel niti v noben kraj reke Jabók niti v gorska mesta niti v katerakoli, ki nam jih je Gospod, naš Bog, prepovedal.
But we did not go near the area where the Ammon people-group live, or the banks of the Jabbok riverbed, or the towns in the hilly area, or any other place where Yahweh our God told us not to go.”
