Deuteronomy 32
1 “Listen, O heavens, to what I am saying. Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
Slušaj, nebo, govoriæu; i zemlja neka èuje govor usta mojih.
2 Let my doctrine accumulate like the rain. Let my eloquence form like the dew, like a mist upon the plants, and like water droplets upon the grass.
Neka se spusti kao dažd nauka moja, i neka padne kao rosa govor moj, kao sitan dažd na mladu travu i kao krupan dažd na odraslu travu.
3 For I will invoke the name of the Lord. Acknowledge the magnificence of our God!
Jer æu javljati ime Gospodnje; velièajte Boga našega.
4 The works of God are perfect, and all his ways are judgments. God is faithful and without any iniquity. He is just and upright.
Djelo je te stijene savršeno, jer su svi putovi njegovi pravda; Bog je vjeran, bez nepravde; pravedan je i istinit.
5 They have sinned against him, and in their filth they are not his sons. They are a depraved and perverse generation.
Oni se pokvariše prema njemu; njihovo nevaljalstvo nije nevaljalstvo sinova njegovijeh; to je rod zao i pokvaren.
6 How can this be the return you would offer to the Lord, O foolish and senseless people? Is he himself not your Father, who has possessed you, and made you, and created you?
Tako li vraæate Gospodu, narode ludi i bezumni? nije li on otac tvoj, koji te je zadobio? on te je naèinio i stvorio.
7 Remember the days of antiquity. Consider each generation. Question your father, and he will declare it to you. Question your elders, and they will tell it to you.
Opomeni se negdašnjih dana, pogledajte godine svakoga vijeka; pitaj oca svojega i on æe ti javiti, starije svoje i kazaæe ti.
8 When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he appointed the limits of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.
Kad višnji razdade našljedstvo narodima, kad razdijeli sinove Adamove, postavi meðe narodima po broju sinova Izrailjevih.
9 But the Lord’s portion is his people: Jacob, the lot of his inheritance.
Jer je dio Gospodnji narod njegov, Jakov je uže našljedstva njegova.
10 He discovered him in a desert land, in a place of horror and a vast wilderness. He led him around and taught him, and he guarded him like the pupil of his eye,
Naðe ga u zemlji pustoj, na mjestu strašnu gdje buèi pustoš; vodi ga unaokolo, uèi ga i èuva kao zjenicu oka svojega.
11 just as an eagle encourages its young to fly, and, flying above them, stretches out its wings, and takes them up, and carries them on its shoulders.
Kao što orao izmamljuje orliæe svoje, diže se nad ptiæima svojim, širi krila svoja, uzima ih i nosi na krilima svojim,
12 The Lord alone was his leader, and there was no strange god with him.
Tako ga Gospod voðaše, i s njim ne bješe tuðega boga;
13 He stood him upon an exalted land, so that he might eat the fruits of the fields, so that he might eat honey from the rock, and oil from the hardest stone,
Voðaše ga na visine zemaljske da jede rod poljski, i davaše mu da sisa med iz stijene i ulje iz tvrdoga kamena,
14 butter from the herd, and milk from the sheep, with fat from the lambs, and with rams and goats from the sons of Bashan, with the kernel of the wheat, and so that he might drink the undiluted blood of the grape.
Maslo od krava i mlijeko od ovaca s pretilinom od jaganjaca i ovnova Vasanskih i jaraca, sa srcem zrna pšeniènih; i pio si vino, krv od grožða.
15 The beloved grew fat, and he kicked. Having grown fat and thick and wide, he abandoned God, his Maker, and he withdrew from God, his Savior.
Ali se Izrailj ugoji, pa se stade ritati; utio si, udebljao i zasalio; pa ostavi Boga koji ga je stvorio, i prezre stijenu spasenja svojega.
16 They provoked him with strange gods, and they stirred him to anger by their abominations.
Na revnost razdražiše ga tuðim bogovima, gadovima razgnjeviše ga.
17 They immolated to demons and not to God, to gods whom they did not know, who were new and recent arrivals, whom their fathers did not worship.
Prinosiše žrtve ðavolima, ne Bogu, bogovima, kojih nijesu znali, novim, koji iz bliza doðoše, kojih se nijesu strašili oci vaši.
18 You have forsaken the God who conceived you, and you have forgotten the Lord who created you.
Stijenu koja te je rodila zaboravio si; zaboravio si Boga stvoritelja svojega.
19 The Lord saw, and he was stirred to anger. For his own sons and daughters provoked him.
Kad to vidje Gospod, razgnjevi se na sinove svoje i na kæeri svoje,
20 And he said: ‘I will hide my face from them, and I will consider their very end. For this is a perverse generation, and they are unfaithful sons.
I reèe: sakriæu od njih lice svoje, vidjeæu kakav æe im biti pošljedak, jer su rod pokvaren, sinovi u kojima nema vjere.
21 They have provoked me with that which was not God, and they have angered me with their emptiness. And so, I will provoke them with that which is not a people, and I will anger them with a foolish nation.
Oni me razdražiše na revnost onijem što nije Bog, razgnjeviše svojim taštinama; i ja æu njih razdražiti na revnost onijem koji nije narod, narodom ludijem razljutiæu ih.
22 A fire has been kindled in my fury, and it will burn even to the deepest Hell, and it will devour the earth with its produce, and it will burn the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Jer se oganj razgorio u gnjevu mojem, i gorjeæe do najdubljega pakla; spaliæe zemlju i rod njezin, i popaliæe temelje brdima. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will heap evils upon them, and I will expend my arrows among them.
Zgrnuæu na njih zla, strijele svoje pobacaæu na njih.
24 They will be consumed by famine, and birds with a very bitter bite will devour them. I will send forth the teeth of wild beasts among them, along with the fury of creatures that scurry across the ground, and of serpents.
Glad æe ih cijediti, vruæice i ljuti pomori proždiraæe ih; i zube zvjerske poslaæu na njih i jed zmija zemaljskih.
25 Outside, the sword will devastate them; and inside, there will be dread, as much for the young man as for the maiden, and as much for the newborn as for the old man.
Spolja æe ih ubijati maè, a po klijetima strah, i momka i djevojku, dijete na sisi i sijeda èovjeka.
26 I said: Where are they? I will cause their memory to cease from among men.
Rekao bih: rasijaæu ih po svijem uglovima zemaljskim, uèiniæu da nestane spomena njihova izmeðu ljudi,
27 But because of the wrath of the enemies, I have delayed it. Otherwise, perhaps their enemies would be arrogant and would say: “Our exalted hand, and not the Lord, has done all these things.”
Da mi nije do mržnje neprijateljeve, da se ne bi neprijatelji njihovi ponijeli i rekli: ruka se naša uzvisila, a nije Gospod uèinio sve ovo.
28 They are a nation without counsel and without prudence.
Jer su narod koji propada sa svojih namjera, i nema u njih razuma.
29 I wish that they would be wise and understanding, and would provide for the very end.’
Kamo da su pametni, da razumiju ovo, i gledaju na pošljedak svoj!
30 How is it that one pursues a thousand, and two chases ten thousand? Is it not because their God has sold them, and because the Lord has enclosed them?
Kako bi jedan gonio tisuæu a dvojica tjerala deset tisuæa, da ih nije stijena njihova prodala i Gospod ih predao?
31 For our God is not like their gods. And our enemies are judges.
Jer stijena njihova nije kao naša stijena; neprijatelji naši neka budu sudije.
32 Their vines are of the vines of Sodom, but from the suburbs of Gomorrah. Their grapes are the grapes of gall, and their grape clusters are most bitter.
Jer je èokot njihov od èokota Sodomskoga i iz polja Gomorskoga; grožðe je njihovo grožðe otrovno, puca su mu gorka.
33 Their wine is the gall of snakes, and it is the incurable venom of asps.
Vino je njihovo otrov zmajevski, i ljuti jed aspidin.
34 ‘Have not these things been stored up with me, and sealed up amid my treasures?
Nije li to sakriveno kod mene, zapeèaæeno u riznicama mojim?
35 Vengeance is mine, and I will repay them in due time, so that their foot may slip and fall. The day of perdition is near, and the time rushes to appear.’
Moja je osveta i plata, u svoje vrijeme popuznuæe noga njihova, jer je blizu dan propasti njihove, i ide brzo što æe ih zadesiti.
36 The Lord will judge his people, and he will take pity on his servants. He will see that their hand has been weakened, and that those who have been enclosed have likewise failed, and that those who have been left behind have been consumed.
Sudiæe Gospod narodu svojemu, i žao æe mu biti sluga njegovijeh, kad vidi da je prošla snaga i da nema ništa ni od uhvaæenoga ni od ostavljenoga.
37 And he shall say: ‘Where are their gods, in whom they had confidence?
I reæi æe: gdje su bogovi njihovi? stijena u koju se uzdaše?
38 They ate the fat of their victims, and they drank the wine of their libations. So let these rise up, and bring relief to you, and protect you in your distress.
Koji salo od žrtava njegovijeh jedoše i piše vino od naljeva njihovijeh. Neka ustanu i pomogu vam, i neka vam budu zaklon.
39 See that I am alone, and there is no other god beside me. I will kill, and I will cause to live. I will strike, and I will heal. And there is no one who is able to rescue from my hand.
Vidite sada da sam ja, ja sam, i da nema Boga osim mene. Ja ubijam i oživljujem, ranim i iscjeljujem, i nema nikoga ko bi izbavio iz moje ruke.
40 I will lift up my hand to heaven, and I will say: I live in eternity.
Jer podižem k nebu ruku svoju i kažem: ja sam živ dovijeka.
41 When I sharpen my sword like lightning, and my hand takes hold of judgment, then I will render vengeance to my enemies, and I will repay those who hate me.
Ako naoštrim sjajni maè svoj i uzmem u ruku sud, uèiniæu osvetu na neprijateljima svojim i vratiæu onima koji mrze na me.
42 I will inebriate my arrows with blood, and my sword will devour flesh: from the blood of the slain and from the captive, from the exposed head of the enemies.’
Opojiæu strijele svoje krvlju, i maè æe se moj najesti mesa, krvlju isjeèenijeh i zarobljenijeh, kad poènem osvetu na neprijateljima.
43 You nations, praise his people! For he will avenge the blood of his servants. And he will distribute vengeance to their enemies. And he will be merciful to the land of his people.”
Veselite se narodi s narodom njegovijem, jer æe pokajati krv sluga svojih, i osvetiæe se neprijateljima svojim, i oèistiæe zemlju svoju i narod svoj.
44 Therefore, Moses went and spoke all the words of this canticle to the ears of the people, both he and Joshua, the son of Nun.
I doðe Mojsije i izgovori sve rijeèi pjesme ove narodu, on i Isus sin Navin.
45 And he completed all these words, speaking to all of Israel.
A kad izgovori Mojsije sve rijeèi ove svemu Izrailju,
46 And he said to them: “Set your hearts upon all the words which I am testifying to you this day. So shall you command your sons, to keep, and to do, and to fulfill all the things that have been written in this law.
Reèe im: privijte srce svoje k svijem rijeèima koje vam ja danas zasvjedoèavam, i kazujte ih sinovima svojim da bi držali sve rijeèi ovoga zakona i tvorili ih.
47 For these things have not been entrusted to you to no purpose, but so that each one would live by them, and so that, in doing these, you may continue for a long time in the land, which you will enter upon crossing the Jordan in order to possess it.”
Jer nije prazna rijeè da za nju ne marite, nego je život vaš; i tom æete rijeèju produljiti dane svoje na zemlji, u koju idete preko Jordana da je naslijedite.
48 And the Lord spoke to Moses on the same day, saying:
U isti dan reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
49 “Ascend this mountain, Abarim, (that is, of crossings) onto Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho, and look upon the land of Canaan, which I will deliver to the sons of Israel to obtain it. And you shall die upon the mountain.
Izidi na ovu goru Avarimsku, na goru Navav, koja je u zemlji Moavskoj prema Jerihonu, i vidi zemlju Hanansku koju dajem sinovima Izrailjevijem u državu.
50 After climbing it, you will be joined to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor, and was placed with his people.
I umri na gori na koju izideš, i priberi s k rodu svojemu, kao što je umro Aron brat tvoj na gori Oru i pribrao se k rodu svojemu.
51 For you trespassed against me in the midst of the sons of Israel, at the Waters of Contradiction, in Kadesh, in the desert of Sin. And you did not sanctify me among the sons of Israel.
Jer mi zgriješiste meðu sinovima Izrailjevijem na vodi od svaðe u Kadisu, u pustinji Sinu, što me ne proslaviste meðu sinovima Izrailjevijem.
52 You shall see the land opposite you, which I will give to the sons of Israel, but you shall not enter into it.”
Pred sobom æeš vidjeti zemlju, ali neæeš u nju uæi, u zemlju koju dajem sinovima Izrailjevijem.
