5 Mojzes 6
1 Torej to so zapovedi, zakoni in sodbe, ki jih je Gospod, vaš Bog, zapovedal, da vas učim, da jih boste lahko izpolnjevali v deželi, kamor greste, da jo vzamete v last,
“These are the commandments and rules and regulations that Yahweh our God commanded me to teach to you. He wants you to obey them in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
2 da se boš lahko bal Gospoda, svojega Boga, da boš ohranjal vse njegove zakone in njegove zapovedi, ki sem ti jih zapovedal: ti, tvoj sin in sin tvojega sina, vse dni tvojega življenja in da bodo tvoji dnevi lahko podaljšani.
He wants you to revere him, and he wants you and your descendants to always obey all these rules and regulations that I am giving to you, in order that you may live for a long time.
3 Poslušaj torej, oh Izrael in obeležuj, da to storiš, da bo lahko dobro s teboj in da boš lahko mogočno povečan, kakor ti je obljubil Gospod, Bog tvojih očetov, v deželi, kjer tečeta mleko in med.
So, you Israeli people, listen to them carefully and obey them. If you do that, things will go well with you, and you will become a nation with a very large population when you are living in that very fertile [IDM] land. That is what Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised [would happen].
4 Poslušaj, oh Izrael: › Gospod, naš Bog, je edini Gospod
“You Israeli people, listen! Only Yahweh is our God.
5 in ljubil boš Gospoda, svojega Boga, z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo in z vso svojo močjo.‹
You must love him with all your inner being and with all that you feel and with all that you do.
6 In te besede, ki sem ti jih danes zapovedal, bodo v tvojem srcu.
Never forget [IDM] these commands that I am giving to you today.
7 In ti jih boš marljivo učil svoje otroke in boš govoril o njih, ko sediš v svoji hiši, ko hodiš po poti, ko se uležeš in ko vstajaš.
Teach them to your children again and again. Talk about them [all the time]: When you are in your houses and when you are walking outside; talk about them when you are lying down and when you are doing things.
8 Privezal si jih boš za znamenje na roko in te bodo kot načelek med tvojimi očmi.
[Write them on tiny scrolls and] fasten them to your arms/wrists, and write them on bands that you fasten to your foreheads [to help you to remember them].
9 Napisal jih boš na podboje svoje hiše in na svoja velika vrata.
Write them on the doorposts and on the gates of your houses.
10 In zgodilo se bo, ko te bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, privedel v deželo, ki jo je prisegel tvojim očetom, Abrahamu, Izaku in Jakobu, da ti da velika in čedna mesta, ki jih nisi zgradil
“Yahweh our God vowed to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that he will give you a land that already has in it large and prosperous cities that you did not build.
11 in hiše, polne vseh dobrih stvari, ki jih nisi napolnil in izkopane vodnjake, ki jih nisi izkopal, vinograde in oljke, ki jih nisi zasadil; ko jih boš jedel in boš sit,
He said that the houses in those cities will already be full of many good things that [others put there]; you did not put them there. There will be wells that others have dug. There will be vineyards and olive trees that others planted. So when Yahweh brings you into that land, and you have all that you want to eat,
12 potem se pazi, da ne pozabiš Gospoda, ki te je privedel iz egiptovske dežele, iz hiše sužnosti.
be sure that you do not forget Yahweh who rescued you from being slaves [in Egypt and gave all these things to you].
13 Bal se boš Gospoda, svojega Boga in mu služil in prisegal pri njegovem imenu.
“You must revere Yahweh our God, and you must serve only him and say that he should [MTY] punish you if you do not do what you have promised.
14 Ne boste šli za drugimi bogovi, bogovi ljudstev, ki so naokoli vas
You must not worship any other gods, the gods that the people-groups who will live near you worship.
15 (kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je med vami ljubosumen Bog), da ne bi bila zoper tebe vžgana jeza Gospoda, tvojega Boga in te uniči iz obličja zemlje.
Yahweh our God, who lives among you, (will not accept/will punish) people who worship anyone or anything else. So if you worship any other god, Yahweh will be very angry with you, and he will get rid of you completely.
16 Ne boste skušali Gospoda, svojega Boga, kakor ste ga skušali v Masi.
Do not do sinful things to find out if you can do them without Yahweh our God punishing you, like your ancestors did at Massah.
17 Marljivo boste varovali zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, njegova pričevanja in njegove zakone, ki ti jih je zapovedal.
Be sure that you always obey all the laws, the commandments, the rules, and the regulations that he has given to you.
18 Storil boš to, kar je prav in dobro v Gospodovih očeh, da bo lahko dobro s teboj in da lahko vstopiš in vzameš v last dobro deželo, ki jo je Gospod prisegel tvojim očetom,
Do what Yahweh says is right and good. If you do that, things will go well with you. You will be able to enter and occupy the good/fertile land that Yahweh vowed to give to our ancestors.
19 da pred teboj prežene vse tvoje sovražnike, kakor je govoril Gospod.
He will do that by expelling your enemies from that land, just like he promised to do.
20 In ko te tvoj sin sprašuje v času, ki pride, rekoč: ›Kaj pomenijo pričevanja, zakoni in sodbe, ki vam jih je zapovedal Gospod, naš Bog?‹
“In the future, when your children ask you, ‘Why did Yahweh our God command us to obey all these rules and regulations?’
21 Potem boš svojemu sinu rekel: ›V Egiptu smo bili faraonovi sužnji in Gospod nas je z mogočno roko privedel iz Egipta.
tell them, ‘Our ancestors were slaves of the king in Egypt, but Yahweh brought them out of Egypt by his great power [MTY].
22 Gospod je pred našimi očmi nad Egiptom, nad faraonom in nad vso njegovo hišo pokazal znamenja in čudeže, velika in boleča
They saw him do many kinds of miracles [DOU] and do terrifying things to the people of Egypt and to the king and his officials.
23 in nas odvedel od tam, da bi nas lahko privedel noter, da nam da deželo, ki jo je prisegel našim očetom.
He rescued our ancestors from Egypt and brought them here to give them this land, just like he vowed that he would do.
24 Gospod nam je zapovedal, da izvršujemo vse te zakone, da se vedno bojimo Gospoda, svojega Boga, za naše dobro, da nas lahko ohrani žive, kakor je to na ta dan.
And he commanded us to obey all these laws and to revere him, for our own good and in order that he would protect our nation and enable us to prosper, as he is doing now.
25 In to bo naša pravičnost, če obeležujemo vse te zapovedi pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, kakor nam je zapovedal.‹
Yahweh our God will (approve of us/consider us to be righteous) if we carefully obey everything that he has commanded us to do.’”
