5 Mojzes 7
1 Ko te bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, privedel v deželo, kamor greš, da jo vzameš v last in je pred teboj pregnal mnoge narode: Hetejce, Girgašéjce, Amoréjce, Kánaance, Perizéjce, Hivéjce in Jebusejce, sedem narodov, večje in mogočnejše kakor ti,
When Yahweh your God brings you into the land that you go to possess, he will drive out many nations before you—the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites—seven nations greater and mightier than you.
2 in ko jih bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, izročil pred teboj, jih boš udaril in popolnoma uničil. Nobene zaveze ne boš sklenil z njimi niti jim ne izkaži usmiljenja,
It is Yahweh your God who gives them over to you when you defeat them, and then you must completely destroy them. You will make no covenant with them, and show them no mercy.
3 niti z njimi ne boš sklepal porok. Svoje hčere ne boš dal njegovemu sinu niti njegove hčere ne boš vzel k svojemu sinu.
Neither will you arrange any marriages with them. You will not give your daughters to their sons, and you will not take their daughters for your sons.
4 Kajti tvojega sina bodo odvrnile od sledenja meni, da bi lahko služile drugim bogovom. Tako bo zoper tebe vžgana Gospodova jeza in te nenadoma uniči.
For they will turn away your sons from following me, so that they may worship other gods. So the anger of Yahweh will be kindled against you, and he will destroy you quickly.
5 Temveč boste tako postopali z njimi: uničili boste njihove oltarje in razbili njihove podobe in posekali njihove ašere in njihove rezane podobe sežgali z ognjem.
This is how you will deal with them: You will break down their altars, dash their stone pillars in pieces, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their cast idols.
6 Kajti ti si sveto ljudstvo Gospodu, svojemu Bogu. Gospod, tvoj Bog, te je izbral, da mu boš posebno ljudstvo, nad vsemi ljudstvi, ki so na obličju zemlje.
For you are a nation that is set apart to Yahweh your God. He has chosen you to be a people for him to possess, more than all the other peoples that are on the face of the earth.
7 Gospod svoje ljubezni ni naravnal na vas niti vas ni izbral, ker ste bili številnejši kot katerokoli ljudstvo, kajti bilo vas je najmanj izmed vseh ljudstev,
Yahweh did not set his love upon you or choose you because you were more in number than any people—for you were the fewest of all peoples—
8 temveč, ker vas je Gospod ljubil in ker je želel držati prisego, ki jo je prisegel vašim očetom, vas je Gospod izpeljal z mogočno roko in vas odkupil iz hiše sužnosti, iz roke faraona, egiptovskega kralja.
but because he loves you, and he wished to keep the oath that he had sworn to your fathers. This is why Yahweh has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.
9 Vedi torej, da Gospod, tvoj Bog, on je Bog, zvesti Bog, ki ohranja zavezo in usmiljenje s tistimi, ki ga ljubijo in ohranjajo njegove zapovedi tisočim rodovom.
Therefore know that Yahweh your God—he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenants and faithfulness for a thousand generations with those who love him and keep his commandments,
10 Tistim pa, ki ga sovražijo, poplača k njihovemu obrazu, da jih uniči. Ne bo počasen do tistega, ki ga sovraži; poplačal mu bo v obraz.
but repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them; he will not be lenient on whoever hates him; he will repay him to his face.
11 Torej boš varoval zapovedi, zakone in sodbe, ki sem ti jih ta dan zapovedal, da jih izvršuješ.
You will therefore keep the commandments, the statutes, and the decrees that I command you today, so that you will do them.
12 Kjerkoli se bo to pripetilo, če prisluhnete tem sodbam in jih varujete in jih izpolnjujete, da ti bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, varoval zavezo in usmiljenje, ki ga je prisegel tvojim očetom.
If you listen to these decrees, and keep and do them, it will happen that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the faithfulness that he swore to your fathers.
13 Ljubil te bo, te blagoslavljal in te namnožil. Blagoslavljal bo tudi sad tvoje maternice in sad tvoje dežele, tvoje žito, tvoje vino in tvoje olje, narast tvojega goveda in trope tvojih ovc, v deželi, ki jo je prisegel tvojim očetom, da ti jo da.
He will love you, bless you, and multiply you; he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain, your new wine, and your oil, the multiplication of your cattle and the young of your flocks, in the land that he swore to your fathers to give you.
14 Blagoslovljen boš nad vsemi ljudstvi. Med vami ne bo jalovega moškega ali ženske ali med vašo živino.
You will be blessed more than all other peoples; there will not be a childless male or a barren female among you or among your cattle.
15 Gospod bo od tebe odvrnil vso bolezen in nobene izmed teh zlih egiptovskih bolezni, ki jih poznaš, ne bo položil nadte, temveč jih bo položil na vse tiste, ki te sovražijo.
Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; none of the evil diseases of Egypt that you have known will he put on you, but he will put them on all those who hate you.
16 Použil boš vsa ljudstva, ki ti jih bo izročil Gospod, tvoj Bog. Tvoje oko nad njimi ne bo imelo nobenega usmiljenja. Niti ne boš služil njihovim bogovom, kajti to ti bo zanka.
You will consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God will give over to you, and your eye will not pity them. You will not worship their gods, for that will be a trap for you.
17 Če boš v svojem srcu rekel: ›Ti narodi so številnejši kakor jaz; kako jih lahko razlastim?‹
If you say in your heart, 'These nations are more numerous than I; how can I dispossess them?'—
18 Ne boš se jih bal, temveč se boš dobro spomnil, kaj je Gospod, tvoj Bog, storil faraonu in vsemu Egiptu:
do not be afraid of them; you will call to mind what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt;
19 velike preizkušnje, ki so jih videle tvoje oči, znamenja, čudeže, mogočno roko in iztegnjen laket, s čimer te je izpeljal Gospod, tvoj Bog. Tako bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, storil vsem ljudstvom, ki se jih bojiš.
the great sufferings that your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm by which Yahweh your God brought you out. Yahweh your God will do the same to all the peoples whom you fear.
20 Poleg tega bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, mednje poslal sršene, dokler ne bodo tisti, ki so preostali in se skrivajo pred teboj, uničeni.
Moreover, Yahweh your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left and who hide themselves from you perish from your presence.
21 Pred njimi ne boš zgrožen, kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je med vami mogočen in strašen Bog.
You will not be frightened at them, for Yahweh your God is among you, a great and fearsome God.
22 In Gospod, tvoj Bog, bo te narode po malo in malo odstranil pred teboj. Ne boš jih mogel naenkrat použiti, da ne bi poljske zveri narasle nad teboj.
Yahweh your God will drive out those nations before you little by little. You will not defeat them all at once, or the wild animals would become very many around you.
23 Toda Gospod, tvoj Bog, jih bo izročil tebi in uničeval jih boš z mogočnim uničenjem, dokler ne bodo uničeni.
But Yahweh your God will give you victory over them when you meet them in battle; he will greatly confuse them until they are destroyed.
24 Njihove kralje bo izročil v tvojo roko in njihovo ime boš uničil izpod neba. Noben človek ne bo zmožen obstati pred teboj, dokler jih ne uničiš.
He will put their kings under your power, and you will make their name perish from under heaven. No one will be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them.
25 Rezane podobe njihovih bogov boste sežgali z ognjem. Ne boš hlepel po srebru ali zlatu, ki je na njih niti si ga ne vzemi k sebi, da ne bi bil v tem ujet, kajti to je ogabnost Gospodu, tvojemu Bogu.
You will burn the carved figures of their gods—do not covet the silver or the gold that covers them and take it for yourself, because if you do, you will become trapped by it—for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God.
26 Niti v svojo hišo ne prinašaj gnusobe, da ne bi bil preklet, kakor je ona, temveč naj se ti skrajno gnusi in skrajno jo zaničuj, kajti to je prekleta stvar.
You will not bring any abomination into your house and start to worship it. You will utterly detest and abhor it, for it is set apart for destruction.
