5 Mojzes 26

1 Zgodilo se bo, ko prideš v deželo, ki ti jo v dediščino daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, in jo vzameš v last in v njej prebivaš,

“And when you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you to possess, and when you will have obtained it and are living within it:

2 da boš vzel od prvega izmed vseh sadov zemlje, ki jih boš prinesel iz svoje dežele, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog in boš to položil v košaro in boš šel na kraj, ki ga bo izbral Gospod, tvoj Bog, da tam postavi svoje ime.

you shall take the first of all your crops, and place them in a basket, and you shall travel to the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may be invoked there.

3 Šel boš k duhovniku, ki bo v tistih dneh ter mu rekel: ›Ta dan izpovedujem Gospodu, tvojemu Bogu, da sem prišel v deželo, ki jo je Gospod prisegel našim očetom, da nam jo da.‹

And you shall approach the priest who will be in those days, and you shall say to him: ‘I profess this day, before the Lord your God, that I have entered into the land about which he swore to our fathers that he would give it to us.’

4 Duhovnik bo iz tvoje roke vzel košaro in jo postavil dol pred oltar Gospoda, tvojega Boga.

And the priest, taking up the basket from your hand, shall place it before the altar of the Lord your God.

5 Govoril boš in pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, rekel: ›Moj oče je bil Sirec, pripravljen, da umre in odšel je dol v Egipt in tam začasno prebival s peščico in tam postal narod, velik, mogočen in gosto naseljen,

And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘The Syrian pursued my father, who descended into Egypt, and he sojourned there in a very small number, and he increased into a great and strong nation and into an innumerable multitude.

6 Egipčani pa so z nami postopali zlobno in nas prizadeli in na nas položili trdo suženjstvo.

And the Egyptians afflicted us, and they persecuted us, imposing upon us the most grievous burdens.

7 Ko smo klicali h Gospodu, Bogu svojih očetov, je Gospod slišal naš glas in pogledal na našo stisko in naš trud in naše zatiranje

And we cried out to the Lord, the God of our fathers. He heard us, and he looked with favor upon our humiliation, and hardship, and distress.

8 in Gospod nas je iz Egipta izpeljal z mogočno roko, z iztegnjenim laktom, z veliko strahoto, z znamenji in čudeži

And he led us away from Egypt, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, with a mighty terror, with signs and wonders.

9 in nas privedel na ta kraj in nam dal to deželo, celó deželo, kjer tečeta mleko in med.

And he led us into this place, and he delivered to us the land flowing with milk and honey.

10 Sedaj glej, prinesel sem prve sadove dežele, ki si jo ti, oh Gospod, dal meni.‹ To boš postavil pred Gospoda, svojega Boga in oboževal boš pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom

And because of this, I now offer the first fruits of the land which the Lord has given to me.’ And you shall leave them in the sight of the Lord your God, and you shall adore the Lord your God.

11 in veselil se boš v vsaki dobri stvari, ki jo je Gospod, tvoj Bog, dal tebi in tvoji hiši, ti in Lévijevec in tujec, ki je med vami.

And you shall feast on all the good things which the Lord your God will give to you and to your house: you, and the Levite, and the new arrival who is with you.

12 Ko si končal desetinjenje vseh desetin svojega narasta v tretjem letu, ki je leto desetinjenja in si to dal Lévijevcu, tujcu, siroti in vdovi, da lahko jedo znotraj tvojih velikih vrat in so nasičeni,

When you will have completed the tithing of all your crops, in the third year of tithes, you shall give it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan, and to the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be satisfied.

13 potem boš rekel pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom: ›Odnesel sem posvečene stvari iz svoje hiše in jih prav tako izročil Lévijevcu, tujcu, siroti in vdovi, glede na vse tvoje zapovedi, ki si mi jih zapovedal. Nisem prekršil tvojih zapovedi niti jih nisem pozabil.

And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘I have taken what was sanctified from my house, and I have given it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan and the widow, just as you have commanded me. I have not transgressed your commandments, nor have I forgotten your precepts.

14 V svojem žalovanju nisem jedel od tega, niti nisem vzel proč česarkoli za kakršnokoli nečisto uporabo, niti nisem dal karkoli od tega za mrtvega, temveč sem prisluhnil glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga in storil glede na vse, kar si mi zapovedal.

I have not eaten from these things in my grief, nor have I separated them due to any kind of uncleanness, nor have I expended any of these things in funerals. I have obeyed the voice of the Lord my God, and I have done all things just as you have instructed me.

15 Poglej navzdol iz svojega svetega prebivališča, iz nebes in blagoslovi svoje ljudstvo Izrael in deželo, ki si nam jo dal, kakor si prisegel našim očetom, deželo, kjer tečeta mleko in med.‹

Look with favor from your sanctuary and from your lofty habitation amid the heavens, and bless your people Israel and the land which you have given to us, just as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.’

16 Ta dan ti je Gospod, tvoj Bog, zapovedal, da izpolnjuješ te zakone in sodbe. Ti jih boš torej ohranjal in izvrševal z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo.

Today the Lord your God has instructed you to carry out these commandments and judgments, and to keep and fulfill them, with all your heart and with all your soul.

17 Ta dan si govoril Gospodu, da bi bil tvoj Bog in da bi hodil po njegovih poteh, ohranjal njegove zakone, njegove zapovedi, njegove sodbe in da bi prisluhnil njegovemu glasu

Today, you have chosen the Lord to be your God, so that you may walk in his ways, and keep his ceremonies and commandments and judgments, and obey his command.

18 in Gospod ti je ta dan odgovoril, da bi bil njegovo izvoljeno ljudstvo, kakor ti je obljubil in da bi varoval vse njegove zapovedi

Today, the Lord has chosen you, so that you may be his particular people, just as he has spoken to you, and so that you may keep all his precepts,

19 in da bi te naredil višjega nad vsemi narodi, ki jih je naredil, v hvali, v imenu, v časti in da bi bil lahko sveto ljudstvo Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, kakor je govoril.«

and so that he may cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which he has created, for the sake of his own praise and name and glory, in order that you may be a holy people for the Lord your God, just as he has spoken.”
