Deuteronomy 2

1 And we turned and departed into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me, and we compassed mount Seir many days.

Onda se okrenusmo i pođosmo u pustinju prema Crvenome moru, kako mi je Jahve naredio. Dugo smo se vrtjeli oko gore Seira.

2 And the Lord said to me,

I reče mi Jahve:

3 You have compassed this mount long enough; turn therefore towards the north.

'Dosta ste se vrtjeli oko ovoga brda. Okrenite prema sjeveru!'

4 And charge the people, saying, You are going through the borders of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall fear you, and dread you greatly.

I narodu naloži ovako: 'Sad ćete proći preko područja svoje braće, potomaka Ezavovih, koji žive u Seiru. Oni se vas boje, ali vi dobro pripazite;

5 Do not engage in war against them, for I will not give you of their land even enough to set your foot upon, for I have given mount Seir to the children of Esau as an inheritance.

s njima ne zamećite boja jer vam neću dati ni stope njihove zemlje: goru Seir predao sam Ezavu u vlasništvo.

6 Buy food of them for money and eat, and you shall receive water of them by measure for money, and drink.

Hranu od njih kupujte za novac da imate što jesti; i vodu za piće kupujte od njih za novac.'

7 For the Lord our God has blessed you in every work of your hands. Consider how you went through that great and terrible wilderness: behold, the Lord your God [has been] with you forty years; you did not lack any thing.

Ta Jahve te, Bog tvoj, blagoslovio u svim djelima tvojih ruku; on je bdio nad tvojim putovanjem onom velikom pustinjom; ovih četrdeset godina Jahve, Bog tvoj, bijaše s tobom i ništa ti nije nedostajalo.

8 And we passed by our brethren the children of Esau, who lived in Seir, by the way of Araba from Aelon and from Gesion Gaber; and we turned and passed by the way of the desert of Moab.

Tako smo svoju braću, potomke Ezavove što žive u Seiru, zaobišli putem što vodi u Arabu, Elat i Esjon Geber, a onda udarismo prema Moapskoj pustinji.

9 And the Lord said to me, Do not you quarrel with the Moabites, and do not engage in war with them; for I will not give you of their land for an inheritance, for I have given Aroer to the children of Lot to inherit.

Tada mi zapovjedi Jahve: 'Nemoj uznemirivati Moapce niti s njima zameći boja, jer ništa od njihove zemlje neću dati u tvoje vlasništvo: Lotovim sinovima predao sam Ar u posjed.'

10 Formerly the Ommin lived in it, a great and numerous nation and powerful, like the Enakim.

Prije su ondje živjeli Emijci. Bio je to moćan narod i brojan; krupna stasa kao i Anakovci.

11 These also shall be accounted Raphain like the Enakim; and the Moabites call them Ommin.

Poput Anakovaca, i njih smatraju Refaimcima, ali ih Moapci nazivaju Emijcima.

12 And the Chorrhite lived in Seir before, and the sons of Esau destroyed them, and utterly consumed them from before them; and they lived in their place, as Israel did to the land of his inheritance, which the Lord gave to them.

Isto su tako u Seiru živjeli prije Horijci, ali su ih Ezavovi potomci izvlastili, istrijebili ih i naselili se na njihovo, kako je, uostalom, učinio Izrael sa zemljom - baštinom svojom - koju mu je Jahve predao.

13 Now then, arise you, [said I], and depart, and cross the valley of Zaret.

'A sada ustanite i prijeđite preko potoka Zereda!' I prijeđosmo potok Zered.

14 And the days in which we travelled from Cades Barne till we crossed the valley of Zaret, [were] thirty and eight years, until the whole generation of the men of war failed, dying out of the camp, as the Lord God sware to them.

Vrijeme što smo išli od Kadeš Barnee pa dok smo prešli preko potoka Zereda iznosilo je trideset i osam godina - sve dok nije izumro iz tabora sav onaj naraštaj ljudi sposobnih za borbu, kako im se Jahve i zakleo.

15 And the hand of the Lord was upon them to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.

I zbilja! Ruka Jahvina bila je protiv njih: istrebljivala ih je isred tabora dok ih nije nestalo.

16 And it came to pass when all the men of war dying out of the midst of the people had fallen,

I tako, kad je smrt istrijebila iz naroda sve ljude sposobne za borbu,

17 that the Lord spoke to me, saying,

reče mi Jahve:

18 You shall pass over this day the borders of Moab to Aroer;

'Danas prelaziš moapsku zemlju Ar.

19 and you shall draw near to the children of Amman: do not quarrel with them, nor wage war with them; for I will not give you of the land of the children of Amman for an inheritance, because I have given it to the children of Lot for an inheritance.

A onda ćeš se približiti Amoncima. Nemoj ih uznemirivati niti s njima zameći boja. Ništa, naime, od zemlje Amonaca neću ustupiti tebi u vlasništvo jer sam je već predao u posjed Lotovim potomcima.'

20 It shall be accounted a land of Raphain, for the Raphain lived there before, and the Ammanites call them Zochommin.

I nju smatraju refaimskom zemljom. U njoj su prije živjeli Refaimci, koje Amonci zovu Zamzumijcima.

21 A great nation and populous, and mightier than you, as also the Enakim: yet the Lord destroyed them from before them, and they inherited [their land], and they lived [there] instead of them until this day.

Bio je to narod moćan i brojan; krupna stasa kao i Anakovci. No Jahve ih uništi pred Amoncima - koji ih izvlastiše i naseliše se na njihovo,

22 As they did to the children of Esau that dwell in Seir, even as they destroyed the Chorrhite from before them, and inherited their country, and lived [therein] instead of them until this day.

kako je, uostalom, učinio i potomcima Ezavovim, koji su nastanjeni u Seiru, kad je pred njima uništio Horijce, koje su oni otjerali s posjeda i do danas žive na njihovim mjestima.

23 And the Evites who dwell in Asedoth to Gaza, and the Cappadocians who came out of Cappadocia, destroyed them, and lived in their room.

I Avijce, koji su živjeli po zaseocima sve do Gaze, istrijebiše Kaftorci koji su došli iz Kaftora te se naseliše na njihovo mjesto.

24 Now then arise and depart, and pass over the valley of Arnon: behold, I have delivered into your hands Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land: begin to inherit [it]: engage in war with him this day.

'Ustajte! Na put krenite i prijeđite preko potoka Arnona. U ruke ti, eto, predajem Amorejca Sihona, kralja hešbonskoga, i njegovu zemlju. Počni s osvajanjem; izazovi ga na boj!

25 Begin to put your terror and your fear on the face of all the nations under heaven, who shall be troubled when they have heard your name, and shall be in anguish before you.

Od danas počinjem ugoniti strah i trepet pred tobom u narode koji su pod svim nebesima, tako da će strepiti i tresti se pred tobom kad god čuju glas o tebi.'

26 And I sent ambassadors from the wilderness of Kedamoth to Seon king of Esebon with peaceful words, saying,

Tada sam iz pustinje Kedmot uputio glasnike kralju hešbonskom Sihonu s miroljubivim riječima:

27 I will pass through your land: I will go by the road, I will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

'Pusti da prođem preko tvoje zemlje. Samo ću proći putem, ne skrećući ni desno ni lijevo.

28 You shall give me food for money, and I will eat; and you shall give me water for money, and I will drink; I will only go through on my feet:

Hranu mi prodavaj za novac da mogu jesti; i vodu za piće davaj mi za novac. Pusti me samo da pješice prođem,

29 as the sons of Esau did to me, who lived in Seir, and the Moabites who lived in Aroer, until I shall have passed Jordan into the land which the Lord our God gives us.

da prijeđem preko Jordana u zemlju koju nam daje Jahve, Bog naš - kao što su mi dopustili potomci Ezavovi, nastanjeni u Seiru, i Moapci, što žive u Aru.'

30 And Seon king of Esebon would not that we should pass by him, because the Lord our God hardened his spirit, and made his heart stubborn, that he might be delivered into your hands, as on this day.

Ali hešbonski kralj Sihon ne htjede nas pustiti preko svoga; jer Jahve, Bog tvoj, duh mu zaslijepi a srce otvrdnu, da ga preda u tvoje šake, gdje je i danas.

31 And the Lord said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver before you Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land, and do you begin to inherit his land.

Tada mi reče Jahve: 'Eto sam počeo da ti izručujem Sihona i njegovu zemlju. Počni osvajanje da mu zemljom zagospodariš.'

32 And Seon the king of Esebon came forth to meet us, he and all his people to war at Jassa.

Kod Jahasa presrete nas Sihon.

33 And the Lord our God delivered him before our face, and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.

Navali on i sav njegov narod. Ali Jahve, Bog naš, predade nam ga, tako da potukosmo njega, njegove sinove i sav njegov narod.

34 And we took possession of all his cities at that time, and we utterly destroyed every city in succession, and their wives, and their children; we left no living prey.

Tada osvojismo sve njegove gradove i prokletstvom udarismo sve gradove s ljudima, ženama i djecom, ništa ne štedeći,

35 Only we took the cattle captive, and took the spoil of the cities.

izuzev stoke, koju uzesmo kao plijen, skupa s plijenom iz gradova što smo ih osvojili.

36 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the brook of Arnon, and the city which is in the valley, and as far as the mount of Galaad; there was not a city which escaped us: the Lord our God delivered all of them into our hands.

Od Aroera, koji se nalazi na obali potoka Arnona, i od grada koji je u njegovoj dolini pa do Gileada nije bilo grada koji bi nam odolio: sve nam ih je Jahve, Bog naš, predao.

37 Only we did not draw near to the children of Amman, even all the parts bordering on the brook Jaboc, and the cities in the mountain country, as the Lord our God charged us.

Jedino se nisi primicao zemlji Amonaca, kraju uz potok Jabok, i gradovima u pogorju, kako je Jahve, Bog naš, odredio.
