< 5 Mojzes 9 >
1 Poslušaj, oh Izrael: ›Danes prečkaš Jordan, da vstopiš in vzameš v last narode, večje in močnejše kakor ti, velika mesta in ograjena do neba,
“Listen, O Israel: You shall cross over the Jordan today, in order to possess nations, very great and stronger than yourself, cities vast and walled even to the sky,
2 veliko in visoko ljudstvo, otroke Anákovcev, ki jih poznaš in o katerih si slišal reči: ›Kdo lahko stoji pred Anákovimi otroki!‹
a people great and lofty, the sons of the Anakim, whom you yourselves have seen and heard, against whom no one is able to stand.
3 Razumi torej ta dan, da je Gospod, tvoj Bog, tisti, ki gre preko pred teboj. Kakor požirajoč ogenj jih bo uničil in on jih bo privedel dol, pred tvoj obraz. Tako jih boš pognal ven in jih hitro uničil, kakor ti je rekel Gospod.
Therefore, you shall know today that the Lord your God himself will pass over before you, like a devouring and consuming fire, to crush and to wipe away and to utterly ruin them before your face, quickly, just as he has spoken to you.
4 Ne govori v svojem srcu, potem ko jih je Gospod, tvoj Bog, spodil izpred tebe, rekoč: ›Zaradi moje pravičnosti me je Gospod privedel, da vzamem v last to deželo, ‹ temveč jih je zaradi zlobnosti teh narodov Gospod pognal izpred tebe.
You should not say in your heart, when the Lord your God will have destroyed them in your sight: ‘It is because of my justice that the Lord led me in, so that I might possess this land, while these nations have been destroyed because of their impiety.’
5 Ne greš, da zaradi svoje pravičnosti ali zaradi poštenosti svojega srca vzameš v last njihovo deželo, temveč zaradi zlobnosti teh narodov jih je Gospod, tvoj Bog, pognal izpred tebe in da lahko izpolni besedo, ki jo je Gospod prisegel tvojim očetom, Abrahamu, Izaku in Jakobu.
For it is not because of your justices or the uprightness of your heart that you will enter, so that you may possess their lands. Instead, it is because they have acted wickedly that they are destroyed upon your arrival, and so that the Lord may accomplish his word, which he promised under oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6 Razumi torej, da ti Gospod, tvoj Bog, te dobre zemlje ne daje v posest zaradi tvoje pravičnosti, kajti ti si trdovratno ljudstvo.
Therefore, know that the Lord your God will not give you this excellent land as a possession due to your justices, for you are a very stiff-necked people.
7 Zapomni si in ne pozabi, kako si v divjini do besa dražil Gospoda, svojega Boga. Od dneva, ko si odšel iz egiptovske dežele, dokler niste prišli na ta kraj, ste bili uporni zoper Gospoda.
Remember, and never forget, how you provoked the Lord your God to anger in the wilderness. You have always contended against the Lord, from the day that you went forth from Egypt, even to this place.
8 Tudi na Horebu ste do besa izzivali Gospoda, tako da je bil Gospod nad vami jezen, da vas uniči.
For at Horeb also, you provoked him, and, becoming angry, he was willing to destroy you,
9 Ko sem odšel gor na goro, da prejmem kamniti plošči, torej plošči zaveze, ki jo je Gospod sklenil z vami, potem sem na gori ostal štirideset dni in štirideset noči niti nisem jedel kruha niti pil vode.
when I ascended onto the mountain, so that I might receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which the Lord formed with you. And I persevered on the mountain for forty days and nights, neither eating bread, nor drinking water.
10 In Gospod mi je izročil dve kamniti plošči, popisani z Božjim prstom. Na njima je bilo napisano glede na vse besede, ki jih je Gospod z vami govoril na gori, iz srede ognja, na dan zbora.
And the Lord gave me two tablets of stone, written with the finger of God and containing all the words that he spoke to you on the mountain from the midst of fire, while the people, being stirred up, were assembled together.
11 Ob koncu štiridesetih dni in štiridesetih noči se je pripetilo, da mi je Gospod dal dve kamniti plošči, torej plošči zaveze.
And when forty days, and as many nights, had passed, the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.
12 Gospod mi je rekel: ›Vstani, hitro se spusti od tod, kajti tvoje ljudstvo, ki si jih privedel iz Egipta, se je izpridilo. Hitro so se obrnili proč iz poti, ki sem jim jo zapovedal. Naredili so si ulito podobo.‹
And he said to me: ‘Rise up, and descend quickly from here. For your people, whom you led away from Egypt, have quickly abandoned the way that you have shown to them, and they have made a molten idol for themselves.’
13 Nadalje mi je Gospod spregovoril, rekoč: ›Videl sem to ljudstvo in glej, to je trdovratno ljudstvo.
And again, the Lord said to me: ‘I discern that this people is stiff-necked.
14 Pusti me pri miru, da jih lahko uničim in njihovo ime izbrišem izpod neba. Iz tebe pa bom naredil narod, mogočnejši in večji kakor oni.‹
Depart from me, so that I may crush them, and abolish their name from under heaven, and appoint you over a nation, which will be greater and stronger than this one.’
15 Tako sem se obrnil in prišel dol z gore in gora je gorela z ognjem in dve tabli zaveze sta bili v mojih dveh rokah.
And as I was descending from the burning mountain, and I held the two tablets of the covenant with both hands,
16 Pogledal sem in glej, grešili ste zoper Gospoda, svojega Boga in si naredili ulito tele. Hitro ste se obrnili proč iz poti, ki vam jo je zapovedal Gospod.
and I had seen that you had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made a molten calf for yourselves, and had quickly abandoned his way, which he had revealed to you,
17 Vzel sem dve plošči in ju vrgel iz svojih dveh rok ter ju razbil pred vašimi očmi.
I threw down the tablets from my hands, and I broke them in your sight.
18 In padel sem dol pred Gospodom, kakor prvič, štirideset dni in štirideset noči. Niti nisem jedel kruha niti nisem pil vode zaradi vseh vaših grehov, ki ste jih z zlobnim početjem zagrešili v Gospodovih očeh, da ga izzivate k jezi.
And I fell prostrate before the Lord, just as before, for forty days and nights, not eating bread, and not drinking water, because of all your sins, which you had committed against the Lord, and because you provoked him to anger.
19 Kajti bal sem se jeze in silnega nezadovoljstva, s katerim je bil Gospod ogorčen zoper vas, da vas uniči. Toda Gospod mi je tudi ob tistem času prisluhnil.
For I feared his indignation and wrath, which had been stirred up against you, so that he was willing to destroy you. And the Lord heeded me at this time also.
20 Gospod je bil zelo jezen nad Aronom, da bi ga uničil, jaz pa sem isti čas molil za Arona.
Likewise, he became vehemently angry against Aaron, and he was willing to destroy him, and I prayed for him similarly.
21 Vzel sem vaš greh, tele, ki ste ga naredili in ga sežgal z ognjem in ga poteptal in ga zelo drobno zmlel, dokler ni bil ta majhen kakor prah, in njegov prah sem vrgel v potok, ki se spušča z gore.
But as for your sin which you committed, that is, the calf, taking hold of it, I burned it with fire. And breaking it into pieces, and reducing it entirely to dust, I threw it into the torrent that descends from the mountain.
22 In pri Tabêri, pri Masi in pri Kibrot-Hattaavi ste do besa izzivali Gospoda.
Likewise, at the Burning, and at the Temptation, and at the Graves of Lust, you provoked the Lord.
23 Podobno, ko vas je Gospod poslal iz Kadeš Barnée, rekoč: ›Pojdite gor in vzemite v last deželo, ki sem vam jo dal.‹ Potem ste se uprli zoper zapoved Gospoda, svojega Boga in mu niste verjeli niti niste prisluhnili njegovemu glasu.
And when he sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, ‘Ascend and possess the land, which I have given to you,’ even so, you spurned the command of the Lord your God, and you did not believe him, nor were you willing to listen to his voice.
24 Od dneva, ko sem vas spoznal, ste bili uporni zoper Gospoda.
Instead, you were ever rebellious, from the day when I first began to know you.
25 Tako sem padel dol pred Gospodom, štirideset dni in štirideset noči, kakor sem prvič padel dol, ker je Gospod rekel, da vas bo uničil.
And so, I lay prostrate before the Lord for forty days and nights, as I humbly begged him, lest he destroy you, just as he had threatened to do.
26 Molil sem torej h Gospodu in rekel: ›Oh Gospod Bog, ne uniči svojega ljudstva in svoje dediščine, ki si jo odkupil preko svoje veličine, ki si jo s svojo mogočno roko privedel iz Egipta.
And praying, I said: ‘O Lord God, do not destroy your people and your inheritance, whom you have redeemed in your greatness, whom you have led away from Egypt with a strong hand.
27 Spomni se svojih služabnikov: Abrahama, Izaka in Jakoba. Ne glej na trmoglavost teh ljudi niti k njihovi zlobnosti niti k njihovemu grehu,
Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not look upon the stubbornness of this people, nor upon their wickedness and sinfulness.
28 da ne bi dežela, od koder si nas privedel, rekla: ›Ker jih Gospod ni bil zmožen privesti v deželo, ki jim jo je obljubil in ker jih je sovražil, jih je privedel ven, da jih pobije v divjini.‹
Otherwise, perhaps the inhabitants of the land, out of which you have led us, may say: “The Lord was not able to lead them into the land, which he promised to them. And he hated them; therefore, he led them out, so that he might put them to death in the wilderness.”
29 Vendar so tvoje ljudstvo in tvoja dediščina, ki si jih izpeljal s svojo mogočno močjo in s svojim iztegnjenim laktom.‹
These are your people and your inheritance, whom you have led out by your great strength, and with your outstretched arm.’”
