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, people of Israel! Shortly you're going to cross the Jordan to enter and take over the country from nations that are larger and stronger than you, that have large towns with walls that reach up into the sky.

2 veliko in visoko ljudstvo, otroke Anákovcev, ki jih poznaš in o katerih si slišal reči: ›Kdo lahko stoji pred Anákovimi otroki!‹

The people are strong and tall; they are the descendants of the Anakim. You all know about them and you have heard the saying, “Who could ever defeat the sons of Anak?”

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.

But you should realize that today the Lord your God is going across ahead of you. He is like a consuming fire; he will destroy them and defeat them ahead of you. You will drive them out and quickly wipe them out, just as the Lord promised 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.

When the Lord your God has driven them out ahead of you, don't think to yourselves, “It's because I'm such a good person that the Lord has brought me here to take over this land.” No, the Lord is driving out these nations ahead of you because of they're so wicked.

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.

It's not because you're so good or moral that you are going to take over their land. No, it's because of their wickedness that the Lord your God is driving out these nations ahead of you, to keep the promise he made to your fathers—m to 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.

You'd better believe that it's not because you're such good people that the Lord your God is giving you this good land to own, because you are stubborn, hard-hearted 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 how you provoked the Lord your God in the desert! Don't ever forget it! From the time you left the land of Egypt until you arrived here, you've been constantly rebelling against the Lord.

8 Tudi na Horebu ste do besa izzivali Gospoda, tako da je bil Gospod nad vami jezen, da vas uniči.

At Horeb you provoked the Lord, making him so angry he was about 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.

This was when I climbed up the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets that recorded agreement the Lord made with you. I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, and I didn't eat or drink anything.

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.

The Lord gave me the two stone tablets on which he'd written with his finger everything he'd told you when he spoke from the fire on the mountain when we were all assembled there.

11 Ob koncu štiridesetih dni in štiridesetih noči se je pripetilo, da mi je Gospod dal dve kamniti plošči, torej plošči zaveze.

After forty days and forty nights, the Lord gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the agreement.

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.‹

The Lord told me, “Hurry! Go down immediately, because your people that you led out of Egypt, are committing a terrible sin. They have disobeyed what I told them so quickly! They have made themselves an idol using molten metal.”

13 Nadalje mi je Gospod spregovoril, rekoč: ›Videl sem to ljudstvo in glej, to je trdovratno ljudstvo.

The Lord also told me, “I have been watching these people, and they really are a stubborn and hard-hearted.

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.‹

Leave me, so that I can destroy them and wipe out their name completely. Then I will turn you into a nation even more powerful and more important than them.”

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.

I went back down the mountain while it was still on fire, carrying the two tablets of the agreement.

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.

Then I saw how much you had sinned against the Lord your God by making for yourselves a molten calf. You had disobeyed what the Lord had told you so quickly.

17 Vzel sem dve plošči in ju vrgel iz svojih dveh rok ter ju razbil pred vašimi očmi.

I threw the two tablets down, smashing them to pieces as you watched.

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.

Then I lay down on the ground before the Lord for forty days and forty nights, just as I had before. I didn't eat or drink anything because of all the sins you had committed by doing what was evil in the Lord's sight, making him angry.

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.

I was terrified at how angry and furious the Lord was with you. He was ready to destroy you. But once again the Lord listened to me.

20 Gospod je bil zelo jezen nad Aronom, da bi ga uničil, jaz pa sem isti čas molil za Arona.

The Lord was so angry with Aaron he was ready to destroy him, but right then I prayed for Aaron too.

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.

I took that abominable thing, the calf you'd made, and burned it. Then I crushed it up and ground it into dust, and I threw it into the stream that descended from the mountain.

22 In pri Tabêri, pri Masi in pri Kibrot-Hattaavi ste do besa izzivali Gospoda.

But you went on provoking the Lord at Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah.

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.

When the Lord had you leave Kadesh-barnea, he told you, “Go and take over the country that I've given you.” But you defied the command of the Lord your God. You didn't believe him and you didn't obey him.

24 Od dneva, ko sem vas spoznal, ste bili uporni zoper Gospoda.

You have been rebelling against the Lord from the day I first knew 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.

So I lay down on the ground before the Lord for forty days and forty nights, because the Lord had threatened to destroy you.

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.

I prayed to the Lord, saying, “Please Lord, God, don't destroy your people that belong to you, the ones whom you rescued by your great ability and led out of Egypt by your power.

27 Spomni se svojih služabnikov: Abrahama, Izaka in Jakoba. Ne glej na trmoglavost teh ljudi niti k njihovi zlobnosti niti k njihovemu grehu,

Please remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Please disregard the stubbornness of this people and their wicked sin.

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.‹

If you don't, those people back in Egypt will say, ‘The Lord brought them out to kill them in the desert because he couldn't take them to the land he'd promised them, and because he hated them.’

29 Vendar so tvoje ljudstvo in tvoja dediščina, ki si jih izpeljal s svojo mogočno močjo in s svojim iztegnjenim laktom.‹

But they are your people, Lord! They belong to you! You led them out of Egypt by your amazing power and might!”
