5 Mojzes 8
1 Vse zapovedi, ki sem ti jih ta dan zapovedal, boste obeleževali, da jih izvršujete, da boste lahko živeli, se množili in vstopili in vzeli v last deželo, ki jo je Gospod prisegel vašim očetom.
You shall observe to do all the commandment which I command you this day, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers.
2 Spomnil se boš celotne poti, po kateri te je Gospod, tvoj Bog, teh štirideset let vodil po divjini, da te poniža in te preizkusi, da spozna kaj je bilo v tvojem srcu, bodisi se boš držal njegovih zapovedi ali ne.
You shall remember all the way which Jehovah your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, and to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.
3 Ponižal te je in ti dopustil, da si bil lačen in te hranil z mano, ki je nisi poznal niti je niso poznali tvoji očetje, da bi ti on lahko dal spoznati, da človek ne živi samo od kruha, temveč človek živi od vsake besede, ki izhaja iz Gospodovih ust.
He humbled you, and allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you did not know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that humankind cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall humankind live.
4 Teh štirideset let se tvoja obleka na tebi ni postarala niti tvoje stopalo ni oteklo.
Your clothing did not grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.
5 V svojem srcu boš tudi preudaril, da kakor mož kara svojega sina, tako Gospod, tvoj Bog, kara tebe.
You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so Jehovah your God chastens you.
6 Zatorej boš varoval zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, da hodiš po njegovih poteh in da se ga bojiš.
You shall keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, te vodi v dobro deželo, deželo vodnih potokov, studencev in globin, ki privrejo iz dolin in hribov;
For Jehovah your God brings you into a good and spacious land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;
8 deželo pšenice, ječmena, trt, figovih dreves in granatnih jabolk; deželo olivnega olja in medu;
a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;
9 deželo, v kateri boš jedel kruh brez pomanjkanja, v njej ti ne bo primanjkovalo nobene stvari; deželo, katere kamni so železo in iz katerih hribov lahko koplješ bron.
a land in which you shall eat bread without scarcity, and in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.
10 Ko se naješ in si sit, potem boš blagoslovil Gospoda, svojega Boga, zaradi dobre dežele, ki ti jo je dal.
You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Jehovah your God for the good land which he has given you.
11 Pazi se, da ne pozabiš Gospoda, svojega boga, da se ne bi držal njegovih zapovedi, njegovih sodb in njegovih zakonov, ki sem ti jih zapovedal ta dan,
Beware lest you forget Jehovah your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you this day:
12 da se ne bi, ko se naješ in si sit in si si zgradil ljubke hiše in prebival v njih;
lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived in them;
13 in ko se tvoji tropi in tvoje črede pomnožijo in je pomnoženo tvoje srebro in tvoje zlato in je pomnoženo vse, kar imaš;
and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
14 tvoje srce ne povzdigne in pozabiš na Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki te je privedel iz egiptovske dežele, iz hiše sužnosti,
then your heart be lifted up, and you forget Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
15 ki te je vodil skozi to veliko in strašno divjino, v kateri so bile ognjene kače, škorpijoni in suša, kjer ni bilo vode; ki ti je vodo privedel iz kremenčeve skale;
who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint;
16 ki te je v divjini hranil z mano, ki je tvoji očetje niso poznali, da bi te lahko ponižal in da bi te lahko preizkusil, da ti v tvojem zadnjem koncu stori dobro.
who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end:
17 In ti bi rekel v svojem srcu: ›Moja moč in mogočnost moje roke mi je pridobila to premoženje.‹
and lest you say in your heart, "My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth."
18 Ampak se boš spominjal Gospoda, svojega Boga, kajti on je ta, ki ti daje moč, da pridobiš premoženje, da lahko on vzpostavi svojo zavezo, ki jo je prisegel tvojim očetom, kakor je to ta dan.
But you shall remember Jehovah your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day.
19 Zgodilo pa se bo, če pozabite Gospoda, svojega Boga in hodite za drugimi bogovi in jim služite in jih obožujete, ta dan pričujem zoper vas, se boste zagotovo pogubili.
It shall be, if you shall forget Jehovah your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.
20 Kakor narodi, ki jih Gospod uničuje pred vašim obrazom, tako se boste pogubili, ker niste hoteli biti poslušni glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga.
As the nations that Jehovah makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you wouldn't listen to the voice of Jehovah your God.
