Deuteronomy 9

1 Hear, O Israel: You go this day across Jordan to inherit nations greater and stronger than yourselves, cities great and walled up to heaven;

Poslušaj, oh Izrael: ›Danes prečkaš Jordan, da vstopiš in vzameš v last narode, večje in močnejše kakor ti, velika mesta in ograjena do neba,

2 a people great and many and tall, the sons of Enac, whom you know, and concerning whom you have heard [say], Who can stand before the children of Enac?

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

3 And you shall know today, that the Lord your God he shall go before your face: he is a consuming fire; he shall destroy them, and he shall turn them back before you, and shall destroy them quickly, as the Lord said to you.

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.

4 Speak not in your heart, when the Lord your God has destroyed these nations before your face, saying, For my righteousness the Lord brought me in to inherit this good land.

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.

5 Not for your righteousness, nor for the holiness of your heart, do you go in to inherit their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord will destroy them from before you, and that he may establish the covenant, which the Lord sware to our fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob.

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.

6 And you shall know today, that [it is] not for your righteousnesses the Lord your God gives you this good land to inherit, for you are a stiff-necked people.

Razumi torej, da ti Gospod, tvoj Bog, te dobre zemlje ne daje v posest zaradi tvoje pravičnosti, kajti ti si trdovratno ljudstvo.

7 Remember, forget not, how much you provoked the Lord your God in the wilderness: from the day that you came forth out of Egypt, even till you came into this place, you continued to be disobedient towards the Lord.

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.

8 Also in Choreb you provoked the Lord, and the Lord was angry with you to destroy you;

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

9 when I went up into the mountain to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant, which the Lord made with you, and I was in the mountain forty days and forty nights, I ate no bread and drank no water.

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.

10 And the Lord gave me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and on them there had been written all the words which the Lord spoke to you in the mountain in the day of the assembly.

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.

11 And it came to pass after forty days and forty nights, the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant.

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

12 And the Lord said to me, Arise, go down quickly from hence, for your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have transgressed; they have gone aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them, and have made themselves a molten image.

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.‹

13 And the Lord spoke to me, saying, I have spoken to you once and again, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.

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

14 And now suffer me utterly to destroy them, and I will blot out their name from under heaven, and will make of you a nation great and strong, and more numerous than this.

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.‹

15 And I turned and went down from the mountain; and the mountain burnt with fire to heaven; and the two tables of the testimonies [were] in my two hands.

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.

16 And when I saw that you had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made to yourselves a molten image, and had gone astray out of the way, which the Lord commanded you to keep;

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.

17 then I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before you.

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

18 And I made my petition before the Lord as also at the first forty days and forty nights: I ate no bread and drank no water, on account of all your sins which you sinned in doing evil before the Lord God to provoke him.

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.

19 And I was greatly terrified because of the wrath and anger, because the Lord was provoked with you utterly to destroy you; yet the Lord listened to me at this time also.

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.

20 And he was angry with Aaron to destroy him utterly, and I prayed for Aaron also at that time.

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

21 And your sin which you had made, [even] the calf, I took, and burnt it with fire, and pounded it and ground it down till it became fine; and it became like dust, and I cast the dust into the brook that descended from the mountain.

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.

22 Also in the burning, and in the temptation, and at the graves of lust, you provoked the Lord.

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

23 And when the Lord sent you forth from Cades Barne, saying, Go up and inherit the land which I give to you, then you disobeyed the word of the Lord your God, and believed him not, and listened not to his voice.

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.

24 You were disobedient in the things relating to the Lord from the day in which he became known to you.

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

25 And I prayed before the Lord forty days and forty nights, the number that I prayed [before], for the Lord said that he would utterly destroy you.

Tako sem padel dol pred Gospodom, štirideset dni in štirideset noči, kakor sem prvič padel dol, ker je Gospod rekel, da vas bo uničil.

26 And I prayed to God, and said, O Lord, King of gods, destroy not your people and your inheritance, whom you did redeem, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with your great power, and with your strong hand, and with your high arm.

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.

27 Remember Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob your servants, to whom you sware by yourself: look not upon the hardness of heart of this people, and their impieties, and their sins.

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

28 Lest the inhabitants of the land whence you brought us out speak, saying, Because the Lord could not bring them into the land of which he spoke to them, and because he hated them, has he brought them forth to kill them in the wilderness.

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.‹

29 And these [are] your people and your portion, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with your great strength, and with your mighty hand, and with your high arm.

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