Ponovljeni zakon 32
1 “Slušajte, nebesa, sad ću govoriti; čuj, zemljo, riječi usta mojih!
Attend, O heaven, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words out of my mouth.
2 Nek' mi nauk daždi poput kiše, kao rosa riječ nek' moja pada, kao kišica po mladoj zeleni, kao pljusak po travi velikoj!
Let my speech be looked for as the rain, and my words come down as dew, as the shower upon the herbage, and as snow upon the grass.
3 Jer, Jahvino ću ime uznositi, a vi Boga našeg veličajte!
For I have called on the name of the Lord: assign you greatness to our God.
4 On je Stijena, djelo mu je savršeno, jer pravi su svi njegovi putovi. Bog je on vjeran i bez zloće, pravedan je on i pravičan.
[As for God], his works [are] true, and all his ways [are] judgment: God [is] faithful, and there is no unrighteousness [in him]; just and holy [is] the Lord.
5 Oni mu se iznevjeriše - nisu mu sinovi, već nakaze sinovske, porod izopačen i prepreden.
They have sinned, not [pleasing] him; spotted children, a froward and perverse generation.
6 Tako li uzvraćaš Jahvi, narode glupi i bezumni! Nije li on Otac tvoj, Stvoritelj, koji te sazdao, po kom postojiš?
Do you thus recompense the Lord? [is the] people thus foolish and unwise? did not he himself your father purchase you, and make you, and form you?
7 Spomeni se dana pradavnih, promotri godine od naraštaja do naraštaja. Oca svoga pitaj, i poučit će te, pitaj starije, pa će ti kazati.
Remember the days of old, consider the years for past ages: ask your father, and he shall relate to you, your elders, and they shall tell you.
8 Kad je Višnji baštinu dijelio narodima, kad je razmještao sinove čovječje, odredi im međe po broju Božjih sinova:
When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God.
9 tad Jahvu njegov narod zapade, Jakov bi njegova baština.
And his people Jacob became the portion of the Lord, Israel was the line of his inheritance.
10 U zemlji stepskoj on ga je našao, u pustinjskoj jezivoj pustoši. Obujmio ga, gajio ga i čuvao k'o zjenu oka svoga.
He maintained him in the wilderness, in burning thirst and a dry land: he led him about and instructed him, and kept him as the apple of an eye.
11 Poput orla što bdi nad gnijezdom, nad svojim orlićima lebdeći, tako on krila širi, uzima ga, pa ga na svojim nosi perima.
As an eagle would watch over his brood, and yearns over his young, receives them having spread his wings, and takes them up on his back:
12 Jahve sam njega je vodio, tuđeg boga s njim ne bijaše.
the Lord alone led them, there was no strange god with them.
13 Povede ga po visočjima zemlje, nahrani ga plodovima poljskim, dade mu meda iz pećine i ulja iz tvrde stijene;
He brought them up on the strength of the land; he fed them with the fruits of the fields; they sucked honey out of the rock, and oil out of the solid rock.
14 kravljeg masla i ovčjeg mlijeka s pretilinom jaganjaca, ovnova bašanskih i jaraca, sa salom žitnih bubrega, i napoji ga pjenušavom krvlju grožđa.
Butter of cows, and milk of sheep, with the fat of lambs and rams, of calves and kids, with fat of kidneys of wheat; and he drank wine, the blood of the grape.
15 Jeo je Jakov i nasitio se, ugojio se Ješurun pa se uzritao. Udebljao si se, utovio, usalio. Odbacio je Boga koji ga stvori i prezreo Stijenu svog spasenja.
So Jacob ate and was filled, and the beloved one kicked; he grew fat, he became thick and broad: then he forsook the God that made him, and departed from God his Saviour.
16 Tuđim bozima učiniše ga ljubomornim, razjariše ga gnusobama.
They provoked me to anger with strange gods; with their abominations they bitterly angered me.
17 Žrtvovahu zlodusima koji Bog nisu, bogovima kojih ne poznavahu prije, došljacima koji stigoše nedavno i koje oci njihovi ne štovahu.
They sacrificed to devils, and not to God; to gods whom they knew not: new and fresh [gods] came in, whom their fathers knew not.
18 Odnemaruješ Stijenu što te na svijet dade, ne sjećaš se više Boga koji te rodi!
You have forsaken God that begot you, and forgotten God who feeds you.
19 Vidje to Jahve i u gnjevu svojem odbaci sinove svoje i kćeri.
And the Lord saw, and was jealous; and was provoked by the anger of his sons and daughters,
20 Lice ću im svoje sakriti, reče, i vidjet ću što će biti od njih. Jer izopačeno je to koljeno, sinovi u kojima vjernosti nema.
and said, I will turn away my face from them, and will show what shall happen to them in the last days; for it is a perverse generation, sons in whom is no faith.
21 Ništavnim me bogom na ljubomor potakoše, razdražiše me ništavilima svojim, i ja ću njih ljubomornim učinit', pukom ništavnim, razdražit ću ih glupim nekim narodom!
They have provoked me to jealousy with [that which is] not God, they have exasperated me with their idols; and I will provoke them to jealousy with them that are no nation, I will anger them with a nation void of understanding.
22 Da, moga gnjeva požar je usplamtio i gorjet će do dubina šeolskih; proždrijet će zemlju i sve što ona rađa, sažeći joj brda do temelja. (Sheol h7585)
For a fire has been kindled out of my wrath, it shall burn to hell below; it shall devour the land, and the fruits of it; it shall set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Nevolje na njih ću svaliti, na njih ću svoje istrošiti strijele.
I will gather evils upon them, and will fight with my weapons against them.
24 Od gladi će umirati, ognjica i pošast njih će trovati. Poslat ću na njih zub zvjerinji i otrov zmija što prahom gmižu.
[They shall be] consumed with hunger and the devouring of birds, and there shall be irremediable destruction: I will send forth against them the teeth of wild beasts, with the rage of [serpents] creeping on the ground.
25 Vani će mač zatirati djecu, a strava će vladati unutra. Ginut će jednako momak i djevojka, dojenče i starac sjedokos.
Without, the sword shall bereave them of children, and terror [shall issue] out of the secret chambers; the young man shall perish with the virgin, the suckling with him who has grown old.
26 Rekoh: U prah ću ih smrviti, zbrisati im spomen izmed ljudi.
I said, I will scatter them, and I will cause their memorial to cease from among men.
27 Ali se bojah ruga dušmanskoga: mogli bi im prevarit' se protivnici, pa da kažu: 'Pobjeda je naša, nije to Jahvina izvela ruka.'
Were it not for the wrath of the enemy, lest they should live long, lest their enemies should combine against them; lest they should say, Our own high arm, and not the Lord, has done all these things.
28 Jer narod je to neupućen, oštroumlja u njih nema.
It is a nation that has lost counsel, neither is there understanding in them.
29 Da su mudri, već bi se i dosjetili, razabrali što ih očekuje.
They had not sense to understand: let them reserve these things against the time to come.
30 Kako da jedan tisuću u bijeg nagna, i deset tisuća da dvojica gone, da ih Stijena njina nije prodala, da ih Jahve nije izručio?
How should one pursue a thousand, and two rout tens of thousands, if God had not sold them, and the Lord delivered them up?
31 Al' stijena im nije poput naše Stijene; osuđeni su naši neprijatelji.
For their gods are not as our God, but our enemies [are] void of understanding.
32 Jer trs je njihov od sodomskog trsa i od vinograda gomorskih; grožđe im je grožđe otrovno, grozdovi im grozdovi gorčine;
For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and their vine-branch of Gomorrha: their grape [is] a grape of gall, their cluster [is] one of bitterness.
33 njihovo je vino otrov zmijski, žestok jed otrovnice ljute.
Their wine [is] the rage of serpents, and the incurable rage of asps.
34 Al' nije li on u mene poput dragulja, zapečaćen u mojim riznicama?
Behold! are not these things stored up by me, and sealed among my treasures?
35 Moja je odmazda i nagrada u vrijeme kad im noga posrne. Jer blizu je dan njihove propasti, udes njihov brzo im se bliži!
In the day of vengeance I will recompense, whenever their foot shall be tripped up; for the day of their destruction [is] near to them, and the judgments at hand are close upon you.
36 (Pravdu će Jahve dati svome puku, sažalit se nad slugama svojim.) Vidjet će da im gine snaga, da je i robu i slobodnu kraj.
For the Lord shall judge his people, and shall be comforted over his servants; for he saw that they were utterly weakened, and failed in the hostile invasion, and were become feeble:
37 Tad će reći: 'Ta gdje su bozi njihovi, gdje stijena kojom se zaklanjahu?
and the Lord said, Where are their gods on whom they trusted?
38 Oni što su jeli salo njihovih klanica i pili vino njihovih ljevanica?' Neka se dignu i neka vam pomognu, nek' vam budu zaklonište!
the fat of whose sacrifices you ate, and you drank the wine of their drink-offerings? let them arise and help you, and be your protectors.
39 Vidite sada da ja, ja jesam, i da drugog Boga pored mene nema! Ja usmrćujem i oživljujem; ja udaram i iscjeljujem (i nitko se iz ruke moje ne izbavlja).
Behold, behold that I am [he], and there is no god beside me: I kill, and I will make to live: I will strike, and I will heal; and there is none who shall deliver out of my hands.
40 Da, svoju ruku ja dižem prema nebu i kažem: Ne bio ja živ vječito
For I will lift up my hand to heaven, and swear by my right hand, and I will say, I live for ever.
41 ako naoštrivši mač svoj blistavi ne uzmem sud u svoje ruke da svojim odmazdim dušmanima, da naplatim onima koji mene mrze.
For I will sharpen my sword like lightning, and my hand shall take hold of judgment; and I will render judgment to my enemies, and will recompense them that hate me.
42 Strijele svoje opojit ću krvlju i mač moj najest će se mesa, krvi ubijenih i zarobljenih, glava dušmanskih vrhovnika.
I will make my weapons drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh, [it shall glut itself] with the blood of the wounded, and from the captivity of the heads of [their] enemies that rule over them.
43 Kličite, o nebesa, s njime, obožavajte ga, sinovi Božji! Kličite, puci, s njegovim narodom, uznosite snagu njegovu, poslanici Jahvini. Jer će krv slugu svojih osvetiti, istom mjerom vratit' dušmanima, naplatit će od onih koji njega mrze, očistit' od grijeha zemlju svog naroda.”
Rejoice, you heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him; rejoice you Gentiles, with his people, and let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in him; for he will avenge the blood of his sons, and he will render vengeance, and recompense justice to his enemies, and will reward them that hate him; and the Lord shall purge the land of his people.
44 Dođe Mojsije s Jošuom, sinom Nunovim, te izgovori u uši naroda riječi ove pjesme.
And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel; and Moses went in and spoke all the words of this law in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the [son] of Naue.
45 Kad Mojsije izgovori sve ove riječi svemu Izraelu,
And Moses finished speaking to all Israel.
46 reče im: “U srca svoja usadite sve riječi koje danas uzimam za svjedoka protiv vas; naredite sinovima svojim da ih drže vršeći sve riječi ovoga Zakona.
And he said to them, Take heed with your heart to all these words, which I testify to you this day, which you shall command your sons, to observe and do all the words of this law.
47 TÓa nije to za vas prazna riječ jer ona je vaš život. Zbog ove riječi živjet ćete dugo na zemlji koju ćete, prešavši Jordan, zaposjesti.”
For this [is] no vain word to you; for it [is] your life, and because of this word you shall live long upon the land, into which you go over Jordan to inherit it.
48 Toga istog dana Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And the Lord spoke to Moses in this day, saying,
49 “Popni se na goru Nebo u Abarskom gorju - ono je u moapskoj zemlji nasuprot Jerihonu - pa pogledaj zemlju kanaansku što ću je dati u posjed Izraelcima.
Go up to the mount Abarim, this mountain Nabau which is in the land of Moab over against Jericho, and behold the land of Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel:
50 Onda umri na gori na koju se uspneš i pridruži se svojim precima kao što je i tvoj brat Aron, koji je umro na brdu Horu, bio pridružen svojima.
and die in the mount whither you go up, and be added to your people; as Aaron your brother died in mount Or, and was added to his people.
51 A to zato što ste mi se iznevjerili sred Izraelaca kod Meriba Kadeša, kod voda u pustinji Sinu: niste očitovali moju svetost među Izraelcima.
Because you disobeyed my word among the children of Israel, at the waters of strife of Cades in the wilderness of Sin; because you sanctified me not among the sons of Israel.
52 Zato ćeš samo izdaleka vidjeti onu zemlju, ali u nju nećeš ući - u zemlju koju dajem Izraelcima.”
You shall see the land before [you], but you shall not enter into it.
