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 must keep all the commands that I am giving you today, so that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land that Yahweh 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 will call to mind all the ways that Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, in order that he might humble you, that he might test you to know what was in your heart, as to 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 made you hunger, and fed you with manna, which you had not known and which your fathers had not known. He did that to make you know that it is not by bread alone that people live; rather, it is by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh that people live.
4 Teh štirideset let se tvoja obleka na tebi ni postarala niti tvoje stopalo ni oteklo.
Your clothing did not wear out and fall off you, and your feet did not swell up during those forty years.
5 V svojem srcu boš tudi preudaril, da kakor mož kara svojega sina, tako Gospod, tvoj Bog, kara tebe.
You will think about in your heart, how, as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.
6 Zatorej boš varoval zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, da hodiš po njegovih poteh in da se ga bojiš.
You will keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, so that you might walk in his ways and honor him.
7 Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, te vodi v dobro deželo, deželo vodnih potokov, studencev in globin, ki privrejo iz dolin in hribov;
For Yahweh your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing out into valleys and among hills;
8 deželo pšenice, ječmena, trt, figovih dreves in granatnih jabolk; deželo olivnega olja in medu;
a land of wheat and barley, of vines, 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.
It is a land in which you will eat bread without lack, and where you will not go without anything; a land whose stones are made of 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 will eat and be full, and you will bless Yahweh your God for the good land that 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,
Be careful that you do not forget Yahweh your God, and that you do not neglect his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes that I am commanding you today,
12 da se ne bi, ko se naješ in si sit in si si zgradil ljubke hiše in prebival v njih;
otherwise, when you eat and are full, and when you build good houses and live in them, your heart will be lifted up.
13 in ko se tvoji tropi in tvoje črede pomnožijo in je pomnoženo tvoje srebro in tvoje zlato in je pomnoženo vse, kar imaš;
Be careful when your herds and flocks multiply and when your silver and gold increase, 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 becomes lifted up and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you 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;
Do not forget him who led you through the great and terrifying wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, who brought you 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.
He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your ancestors had never known, so that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end,
17 In ti bi rekel v svojem srcu: ›Moja moč in mogočnost moje roke mi je pridobila to premoženje.‹
but you may say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my hand acquired all 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 will call to mind Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is today.
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 will happen that, if you will forget Yahweh your God and walk after other gods, worship them, and reverence them, I testify against you today that you will 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.
Like the nations that Yahweh is making to perish before you, so will you perish, because you would not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
