5 Mojzes 1
1 To so besede, ki jih je Mojzes govoril vsemu Izraelu na tej strani Jordana, v divjini, na ravnini nasproti Rdečemu morju, med Paránom, Tofelom, Labánom, Hacerótom in Di Zahábom.
This is the record of what Moses told all the Israelites during their time in the desert to the east of the Jordan. They were in the Arabah near Suph, between Paran on the one side and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Di-zahab on the other.
2 ( Tam je enajstdnevno potovanje od Horeba, po poti gorovja Seír do Kadeš Barnée.)
(It takes eleven days to go from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea by the road that passes Mount Seir.)
3 V štiridesetem letu, v enajstem mesecu, na prvi dan meseca, se je pripetilo, da je Mojzes spregovoril Izraelovim otrokom glede vsega, kar mu je Gospod dal njim v zapoved,
On the first day of the eleventh month of the fortieth year, Moses recounted to the Israelites everything that the Lord had instructed him to tell them.
4 potem, ko je umoril amoréjskega kralja Sihóna, ki je prebival v Hešbónu in bašánskega kralja Oga, ki je prebival pri Aštarótu v Edréiju,
This happened after he defeated Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, and then at Edrei after he defeated Og king of Bashan, who ruled in Ashtaroth.
5 na tej strani Jordana, v moábski deželi, je Mojzes začel oznanjati to postavo, rekoč:
Speaking on the east side of the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain these instructions, saying:
6 » Gospod, naš Bog, nam je spregovoril na Horebu, rekoč: ›Dovolj dolgo ste prebivali na tej gori.
The Lord our God told us at Horeb: “You have remained here beside this mountain for long enough.
7 Obrnite se in pojdite na potovanje in pojdite h gori Amoréjcev in k vsem krajem blizu nje, na ravnini, na hribih, v dolini, na jugu in ob morski obali, k deželi Kánaancev in k Libanonu, k veliki reki, reki Evfrat.
Continue your journey and go to the hill country of the Amorites and all their neighbors, into the Jordan Valley, into the hill country, into the foothills, into the Negev, and along the coast to the country of the Canaanites up to Lebanon, as far as the great River Euphrates.
8 Glejte, pred vas sem postavil deželo. Vstopite in vzemite v last deželo, ki jo je Gospod prisegel vašim očetom, Abrahamu, Izaku in Jakobu, da jo da njim in njihovemu semenu za njimi.‹
Look, I'm giving this land to you. Go and take ownership of the land that the Lord promised he would give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants who would follow them.”
9 Ob tistem času sem vam govoril, rekoč: ›Nisem vas zmožen nositi sam.
That's when I told you, “I can't take responsibility for all of you by myself.
10 Gospod, vaš Bog, vas je pomnožil in glejte, vas je ta dan kakor zvezd neba zaradi množice.
The Lord your God has increased your numbers so much that today there are as many of you as there are stars in the sky.
11 ( Gospod, Bog vaših očetov, naj vas naredi tisočkrat toliko, kot vas je in vas blagoslovi, kot vam je obljubil!)
May the Lord, the God of your forefathers, multiply you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised.
12 Kako lahko jaz sam nosim vašo obremenitev, vaše breme in vaš prepir?
But how can I take on all your troubles, burdens, and arguments just by myself?
13 Vzemite si modre može, razumne in poznane med svojimi rodovi in jaz jih bom naredil voditelje nad vami.‹
You must choose for yourselves wise, experienced men with good judgment from each of your tribes, and I will put them in charge as your leaders.”
14 Odgovorili ste mi in rekli: ›Stvar, ki si jo govoril, je za nas dobra, da [jo] storimo.‹
You replied to me, saying, “Your proposal is a good one.”
15 Tako sem vzel vodilne izmed vaših rodov, modre može in poznane in jih naredil poglavarje nad vami, tisočnike, stotnike, petdesetnike, desetnike in častnike med vašimi rodovi.
So I summoned your tribal leaders, men with good judgment, and put them in charge of you, as commanders and officials for your tribes. Some were responsible for thousands, some for hundreds, some for fifties, and some for tens.
16 Ob tistem času sem zadolžil vaše sodnike, rekoč: ›Prisluhnite pravdam med vašimi brati in pravično sodite med vsakim možem, njegovim bratom in tujcem, ki je z njim.
At the same time I gave strict instructions to your judges: “Hear the cases brought between your brothers, and make sure you are fair when you judge between a man and his brother or a foreigner living among you.
17 Pri sodbi se ne boste ozirali na osebe; temveč boste prisluhnili tako majhnemu kakor velikemu. Ne boste se bali obličja človeka, kajti razsodba je Božja. Zadevo pa, ki je za vas pretežka, to prinesite k meni in ji bom prisluhnil.‹
Don't show any favoritism when you judge—treat the powerful and the common people just the same. Don't let anyone intimidate you, because judgment is done on God's behalf. Bring me any case that is too hard for you, and I will hear it.”
18 Ob tistem času sem vam zapovedal vse stvari, ki naj bi jih storili.
This was also the time I instructed you about everything you had to do.
19 Ko smo odpotovali od Horeba, smo odšli skozi vso to veliko in strašno divjino, ki ste jo videli po poti gore Amoréjcev, kakor nam je Gospod, naš Bog, zapovedal, in prišli smo do Kadeš Barnée.
Following the orders of the Lord our God, we left Horeb and set off towards the hill country of the Amorites, passing through the whole of the large and terrifying desert that you yourselves have experienced. When we reached Kadesh-barnea,
20 Rekel sem vam: ›Prišli ste h gori Amoréjcev, ki nam jo daje Gospod, naš Bog.
I explained to you, “You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God is giving to us.
21 Glej, Gospod, tvoj Bog je predte postavil deželo. Pojdi gor in si jo vzemi v last, kakor ti je rekel Gospod, Bog tvojih očetov. Ne boj se niti ne izgubi poguma.‹
Look, the Lord your God has given you the land! Go and take ownership of the land as the Lord, the God of your forefathers, has told you. Don't be frightened or terrified.”
22 Približali ste si mi, vsak izmed vas in rekli: ›Pred nami bomo poslali može in preiskali bodo deželo in nam ponovno prinesli besedo, po kateri poti moramo iti gor in v katera mesta bomo prišli.‹
Then you all came to me and suggested, “Let's send men on ahead to explore the land and report back to us about what route to take and which towns we'll come across.”
23 Govor mi je ugajal, in izmed vas sem vzel dvanajst mož, enega iz rodu
It seemed like a good plan to me, so I chose twelve of your men, one from each tribe.
24 in obrnili so se in odšli gor na goro in prišli v dolino Eškól in jo preiskali.
They set off and went up into the hill country as far as the Valley of Eshcol, exploring the land.
25 V svoje roke so vzeli od sadu dežele in to prinesli dol k nam in nam ponovno prinesli besedo ter rekli: › To je dobra dežela, ki nam jo daje Gospod, naš Bog.‹
They brought back some of the country's fruit, carrying it down to us, and gave us the report: “The Lord our God is giving us good land.”
26 Vendar niste hoteli iti gor, temveč [ste se] uprli zoper zapoved Gospoda, svojega Boga.
But you didn't want to go. You rebelled against the instructions of the Lord your God.
27 V svojih šotorih ste godrnjali in rekli: ›Zato, ker nas je Gospod sovražil, nas je privedel naprej, ven iz egiptovske dežele, da nas izroči v roke Amoréjcev, da nas uničijo.
You complained while you were in your tents and said, “It's because the Lord hates us that he led us out of Egypt in order to hand us over to the Amorites to be wiped out.
28 Kam naj gremo gor? Naši bratje so našemu srcu vzeli pogum, rekoč: ›Ljudstvo je večje in višje, kakor smo mi. Mesta so velika in ograjena do neba, in poleg tega smo tam videli Anákove sinove.‹‹
Where are we going? Our brothers terrified us because they told us: ‘The people are bigger and taller than us; the towns are large, with high walls that reach the sky. We even saw the descendants of the giant Anak there!’”
29 Potem sem vam rekel: ›Ne bodite zaprepadeni niti se jih ne bojte.
So I told you, “Don't be frightened or scared of them!
30 Gospod, vaš Bog, ki gre pred vami, se bo boril za vas, glede na vse, kar je pred vašimi očmi za vas storil v Egiptu
The Lord your God who leads your way will fight for you in the same way you saw him do for you in Egypt.
31 in v divjini, kjer si videl, kako te je nosil Gospod, tvoj Bog, kakor mož nosi svojega sina, na vsej poti, kamor ste odšli, dokler niste prišli na ta kraj.‹
He did the same in the desert—you saw how the Lord your God carried you like a father carries his son during your whole journey until you arrived here.”
32 Vendar v tej stvari niste verovali Gospodu, svojemu Bogu,
Despite all this, you didn't trust the Lord your God,
33 ki je pred vami odšel na pot, da vam poišče prostor, da na njem postavite svoje šotore, v ognju ponoči, da vam pokaže po kateri pot naj bi šli, in v oblaku podnevi.
who led you on the journey, present in the fire by night and in the cloud by day, looking to find a place for you to camp and to show you the way to go.
34 Gospod je slišal glas vaših besed in bil ogorčen ter prisegel, rekoč:
When the Lord heard what you were saying, he got angry and swore an oath:
35 ›Zagotovo ne bo nobeden izmed teh mož tega zlega rodu videl te dobre dežele, za katero sem prisegel, da jo dam vašim očetom,
“Not a single one of this evil generation will see the good land I promised to give your forefathers,
36 razen Jefunéjevega sina Kaléba; on jo bo videl in njemu bom dal deželo, po kateri je stopal in njegovim otrokom, ker je v celoti sledil Gospodu.‹
except Caleb, son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land he explored, because he was completely committed to the Lord.”
37 Prav tako je bil Gospod zaradi vas jezen name, rekoč: ›Ti tudi ne boš vstopil vanjo.
The Lord also got angry with me because of you. He told me, “Even you won't enter the country.
38 Toda Nunov sin Józue, ki stoji pred teboj, on bo vstopil tja. Ohrabri ga, kajti Izraelu bo povzročil, da jo podeduje.
However, Joshua, son of Nun, your assistant, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will help Israel to occupy the land.
39 Poleg tega bodo vaši malčki, za katere ste rekli, da bi morali biti plen in vaši otroci, ki na ta dan niso imeli spoznanja med dobrim in zlom, oni bodo vstopili tja in njim jo bom dal in oni jo bodo vzeli v last.
Your small children that you claimed would become prisoners, your children who at the time didn't know good from evil, they will be the ones to enter the land that I will give them, and they will occupy it.
40 Toda kar se tiče vas, se obrnite in pojdite na potovanje v divjino, po poti Rdečega morja.‹
But now turn around and head back into the desert on the road that leads to the Red Sea.”
41 Potem ste mi odgovorili in rekli: ›Grešili smo zoper Gospoda, šli bomo gor in se borili, glede na vse, kar nam je zapovedal Gospod, naš Bog.‹ In ko ste si opasali vsak mož svoje bojno orožje, ste bili pripravljeni, da greste gor na hrib.
But you answered and told me, “We have sinned against the Lord! We will go and we will fight and we will do everything the Lord our God has ordered us to do.” Then you all picked up your weapons and prepared for battle thinking it would be easy to go and fight in the hill country.
42 Gospod mi je rekel: ›Reci jim: ›Ne pojdite gor niti se ne bojujte, kajti jaz nisem med vami, da ne bi bili udarjeni pred svojimi sovražniki.‹‹
But the Lord instructed me, “Order them not to go and fight because I won't be with you to prevent you from being defeated by your enemies.”
43 Tako sem vam govoril, pa niste hoteli slišati, temveč [ste se] uprli zoper Gospodovo zapoved in prepotentno odšli na hrib.
I told you this, but you refused to listen. You defied the instructions of the Lord and arrogantly went to fight in the hill country.
44 Amoréjci, ki prebivajo na tej gori, so prišli ven zoper vas in vas preganjali, kakor počnejo čebele in vas uničili v Seírju, celó do Horme.
Then the Amorites living there in the hills came and attacked you. They chased after you like a swarm of bees, killing you all the way from Seir to Hormah.
45 Vrnili ste se in jokali pred Gospodom, toda Gospod ni hotel prisluhniti vašemu glasu niti nagniti ušesa k vam.
You came back to camp and wept before the Lord, but he refused to listen to what you said or to pay attention to you.
46 Tako ste mnogo dni ostali v Kadešu, glede na dneve, ko ste ostajali tam.
You stayed there in Kadesh for a long time.
