5 Mojzes 31

1 Mojzes je odšel in te besede spregovoril vsemu Izraelu.

And Moses went, and spake these words unto all Israel;

2 Rekel jim je: »Jaz sem ta dan star sto dvajset let. Ne morem več hoditi ven in vstopati noter. Tudi Gospod mi je rekel: ›Ti ne boš šel preko tega Jordana.‹

and said unto them—A hundred and twenty years old, am I to-day, I can no more go out and come in, —Yahweh indeed hath said unto me, Thou shall not pass over this Jordan.

3 Gospod, tvoj Bog, bo šel preko pred teboj in on bo izpred tebe uničil te narode in ti jih boš vzel v last in Józue, on bo šel preko pred teboj, kakor je rekel Gospod.

Yahweh thy God, is passing over before thee, he, will destroy these nations from before thee so shalt thou dispossess them, —Joshua is passing over before thee, as Yahweh hath spoken.

4 Gospod jim bo storil kakor je storil Sihónu in Ogu, kraljema Amoréjcev in njuni deželi, ki ju je uničil.

So will Yahweh do unto them as he did unto Sihon and unto Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them whom he destroyed.

5 Gospod ju bo izročil pred tvoj obraz, da jima boš lahko storil glede na vse zapovedi, ki sem ti jih zapovedal.

So will Yahweh deliver them up before you, —and ye shall do unto them—according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.

6 Bodi močan in odločnega poguma, ne boj se niti se jih ne plaši, kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, on je ta, ki gre s teboj; ne bo te razočaral niti te ne bo zapustil.«

Be firm and bold, do not fear nor tremble because of them, —for Yahweh thy God, it is who is going with thee, he will not fail thee nor forsake thee.

7 Mojzes je zaklical k Józuetu in mu pred očmi vsega Izraela rekel: »Bodi močan in odločnega poguma, kajti s tem ljudstvom moraš iti v deželo, ki jo je Gospod prisegel njihovim očetom, da jim jo da; in ti jim boš povzročil, da jo podedujejo.

And Moses called for Joshua, and said unto him, in the sight of all Israel. Be firm and bold, for, thou, shalt go with this people into the land which Yahweh sware unto their fathers to give unto them, and, thou shalt cause them to inherit it.

8 Gospod, on je ta, ki gre pred teboj. S teboj bo, ne bo te razočaral niti te ne bo zapustil. Ne boj se niti ne bodi zaprepaden.«

But, Yahweh, it is who is going before thee, he will be with thee, he will not fail thee nor forsake thee, —thou must not fear nor be dismayed.

9 Mojzes je zapisal to postavo in jo izročil duhovnikom, sinovom Lévijevcev, ki so nosili skrinjo Gospodove zaveze, in vsem Izraelovim starešinam.

And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, —and unto all the elders of Israel.

10 Mojzes jim je zapovedal, rekoč: »Ob koncu vsakih sedmih let, na slovesno leto odpusta, na šotorski praznik,

And Moses commanded them, saying, —At the end of seven years in the appointed season of the year of release, during the festival of booths;

11 ko pride ves Izrael, da se prikaže pred Gospodom, tvojim Bogom, na kraju, ki ga bo on izbral, boš to postavo bral pred vsem Izraelom v njihovo uho.

when all Israel cometh in to see the face of Yahweh thy God, in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel, in their hearing.

12 Skupaj zberi ljudstvo, može, žene, otroke in svojega tujca, ki je znotraj tvojih velikih vratih, da lahko slišijo in da se lahko naučijo in se bojijo Gospoda, svojega Boga in obeležujejo, da storijo vse besede te postave

Call together the people—the men and the women and the little ones, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates, —that they may hear, and that they may learn, so shall they revere Yahweh your God, and observe to do all the words of this law;

13 in da njihovi otroci, ki niso poznali ničesar, lahko slišijo in se naučijo bati se Gospoda, svojega Boga, tako dolgo kot vi živite v deželi, kamor greste prek Jordana, da jo vzamete v last.«

and that their children who know not, may hear and learn, that they may revere Yahweh your God, —all the days that ye are living upon the soil, which ye are passing over the Jordan to possess.

14 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Glej, približujejo se tvoji dnevi, ko moraš umreti. Pokliči Józueta in se postavita v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti, da mu lahko dam naročilo.« Mojzes in Józue sta odšla in se postavila v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Lo! thy days have drawn near that thou must die. Call Joshua and station yourselves in the tent of meeting, that I may command him. So Moses went, with Joshua, and they took their station in the tent of meeting.

15 Gospod se je prikazal v šotorskem svetišču, v oblačnem stebru in oblačni steber je stal nad vrati šotorskega svetišča.

And Yahweh appeared in the tent, in a pillar of cloud, —and the pillar of cloud stood, at the entrance of the tent.

16 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Glej, zaspal boš s svojimi očeti in to ljudstvo se bo vzdignilo in se šlo vlačugat za bogovi tujcev dežele, v katero gredo, da bi bili med njimi in zapustili me bodo in prelomili mojo zavezo, ki sem jo sklenil z njimi.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Lo! thou art about to sleep with thy fathers, —and this people will rise up, and go away unchastely after the gods of the foreigners of the land into the midst of whom they are entering, and will forsake me and break my covenant which I solemnised with them.

17 Potem bo na tisti dan moja jeza vneta zoper njih in zapustil jih bom in svoj obraz bom skril pred njimi in použiti bodo in številna zla in težave jih bodo zadele, tako da bodo na tisti dan rekli: ›Ali niso nad nas prišla ta zla, ker med nami ni našega Boga?‹

Then will mine anger kindle upon them in that day, and I will forsake them and will hide my face from them and they shall be consumed, and many calamities and misfortunes shall find them out, —and they will say, in that day, Is it not because my God is not in my midst, that these calamities have found me out?

18 Na tisti dan bom zagotovo skril svoj obraz zaradi vseh hudobij, ki jih bodo naredili v tem, da so se obrnili k drugim bogovom.

But, I, will utterly, hide, my face, in that day, because of all the wickedness which they have done, in that they have turned away unto other gods.

19 Zdaj si torej zapišite to pesem in jo učite Izraelove otroke. Položite jo v njihova usta, da bo ta pesem lahko priča zame zoper Izraelove otroke.

Now, therefore write ye for you this Song, and teach it unto the sons of Israel put it in their mouths, —that this Song may become for me a witness against the sons of Israel.

20 Kajti ko jih bom privedel v deželo, ki sem jo prisegel njihovim očetom, kjer tečeta mleko in med in bodo jedli in se nasitili in postali debeli, potem se bodo obrnili k drugim bogovom in jim služili in me izzivali in prelomili mojo zavezo.

When I bring them upon the soil which I sware unto their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they shall eat and be filled and wax fat, then will they turn away unto other gods and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.

21 Zgodilo se bo, ko jih bodo doletela mnoga zla in stiske, da bo ta pesem pričala zoper njih kakor priča, kajti ta ne bo pozabljena iz ust njihovega semena, kajti jaz poznam njihove zamisli, s katerimi hodijo naokoli, celo sedaj, preden sem jih privedel v deželo, ki sem jim jo prisegel.«

And it shall come to pass, when many calamities and misfortunes shall find them out, then shall this Song respond to their face, as a witness, for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouth of their seed, for I know their imagination, which they are forming to-day, ere yet I bring them into the land of which I sware unto their fathers.

22 Zato je Mojzes isti dan napisal to pesem in jo učil Izraelove otroke.

Moses therefore wrote this Song on that day, —and taught it unto the sons of Israel.

23 Nunovemu sinu Józuetu je dal zadolžitev in rekel: »Bodi močan in odločnega poguma, kajti ti boš Izraelove otroke privedel v deželo, ki sem jim jo prisegel in jaz bom s teboj.«

And he commanded Joshua, son of Nun, and said—Be firm and bold, for, thou shalt bring the sons of Israel into the land which I have sworn to them, —and, I, will be with thee.

24 Pripetilo se je, ko je Mojzes končal s pisanjem besed te postave v knjigo, dokler niso bile dokončane,

And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law, upon a scroll, —until he had finished them,

25 da je Mojzes zapovedal Lévijevcem, ki so nosili skrinjo Gospodove zaveze, rekoč:

then Moses commanded the Levites, who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, saying:

26 »Vzemite to knjigo postave in jo postavite v stran skrinje zaveze Gospoda, svojega Boga, da bo ta lahko tam za pričo zoper tebe.

Take this scroll of the law, and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, —so shall it be there in thy midst as a witness.

27 Kajti poznam tvoj upor in tvoj trdi vrat. Glej, medtem ko sem z vami ta dan še živ, ste bili uporni zoper Gospoda in koliko bolj po moji smrti?

For, I, know thy perverseness, and thy stiff neck, —lo! while I am yet alive with you to-day, ye are, quarrelling, with Yahweh, and how much more after my death?

28 Zberite k meni vse starešine svojih rodov in svoje častnike, da lahko te besede govorim v njihova ušesa in kličem nebo in zemljo, da pričata zoper njih.

Call together unto me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, —and let me speak in their hearing these words, and let me take to witness against them the heavens and the earth.

29 Kajti vem, da se boste po moji smrti popolnoma izpridili in odvrnili od poti, ki sem vam jo zapovedal in zlo vas bo zadelo v zadnjih dneh, ker boste počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh, da ga dražite k jezi skozi dela svojih rok.«

For I know that after my death, ye will break faith, and turn aside out of the way which I have commanded you, —and calamity will befall you in the afterpart of the days, because ye will do the thing that is wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, to provoke him with the work of your own hands.

30 Mojzes je na ušesa vse Izraelove skupnosti govoril besede te pesmi, dokler se niso končale.

So Moses spake in the hearing of all the convocation of Israel the words of this Song, until they were ended: —
