Deuteronomy 8
1 “All the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day, take care to observe them diligently, so that you may live and be multiplied, and so that, upon entering, you may possess the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers.
Vse zapovedi, ki sem ti jih ta dan zapovedal, boste obeleževali, da jih izvršujete, da boste lahko živeli, se množili in vstopili in vzeli v last deželo, ki jo je Gospod prisegel vašim očetom.
2 And you shall remember the entire journey along which the Lord your God led you, for forty years through the desert, to afflict you, and to test you, and to make known the things that were turning in your soul, whether or not you would keep his commandments.
Spomnil se boš celotne poti, po kateri te je Gospod, tvoj Bog, teh štirideset let vodil po divjini, da te poniža in te preizkusi, da spozna kaj je bilo v tvojem srcu, bodisi se boš držal njegovih zapovedi ali ne.
3 He afflicted you with need, and he gave you Manna as your food, which neither you nor your fathers knew, so as to reveal to you that it is not by bread alone that man lives, but by every word that goes forth from the mouth of God.
Ponižal te je in ti dopustil, da si bil lačen in te hranil z mano, ki je nisi poznal niti je niso poznali tvoji očetje, da bi ti on lahko dal spoznati, da človek ne živi samo od kruha, temveč človek živi od vsake besede, ki izhaja iz Gospodovih ust.
4 Your garment, with which you were covered, has by no means decayed due to age, and your foot has not been worn down, even to this fortieth year,
Teh štirideset let se tvoja obleka na tebi ni postarala niti tvoje stopalo ni oteklo.
5 so that you would recognize in your heart that, just as a man educates his son, so has the Lord your God educated you.
V svojem srcu boš tudi preudaril, da kakor mož kara svojega sina, tako Gospod, tvoj Bog, kara tebe.
6 So may you keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and fear him.
Zatorej boš varoval zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, da hodiš po njegovih poteh in da se ga bojiš.
7 For the Lord your God will lead you into a good land: a land of brooks and waters and fountains, in which deep rivers burst forth from its plains and mountains,
Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, te vodi v dobro deželo, deželo vodnih potokov, studencev in globin, ki privrejo iz dolin in hribov;
8 a land of crops, barley, and vineyards, in which fig and pomegranate and olive trees spring up, a land of oil and honey.
deželo pšenice, ječmena, trt, figovih dreves in granatnih jabolk; deželo olivnega olja in medu;
9 In that place, without any need, you shall eat your bread and enjoy an abundance of all things: where the stones are like iron, and where ore for brass is dug out of its mountains.
deželo, v kateri boš jedel kruh brez pomanjkanja, v njej ti ne bo primanjkovalo nobene stvari; deželo, katere kamni so železo in iz katerih hribov lahko koplješ bron.
10 So then, when you have eaten and been satisfied, you should bless the Lord your God for the excellent land which he has given to you.
Ko se naješ in si sit, potem boš blagoslovil Gospoda, svojega Boga, zaradi dobre dežele, ki ti jo je dal.
11 Be observant and cautious, lest at some time you may forget the Lord your God, and neglect his commandments, as well as the judgments and ceremonies, which I instruct to you this day.
Pazi se, da ne pozabiš Gospoda, svojega boga, da se ne bi držal njegovih zapovedi, njegovih sodb in njegovih zakonov, ki sem ti jih zapovedal ta dan,
12 Otherwise, after you have eaten and been satisfied, and have built beautiful houses and have lived in them,
da se ne bi, ko se naješ in si sit in si si zgradil ljubke hiše in prebival v njih;
13 and have obtained herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep, and a plentitude of gold and silver and all things,
in ko se tvoji tropi in tvoje črede pomnožijo in je pomnoženo tvoje srebro in tvoje zlato in je pomnoženo vse, kar imaš;
14 your heart might be lifted up, and you might not remember the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude,
tvoje srce ne povzdigne in pozabiš na Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki te je privedel iz egiptovske dežele, iz hiše sužnosti,
15 and who was your leader in the great and terrible wilderness, in which there was the serpent with a burning breath, and the scorpion, and the snake of thirst, and no waters at all. He led streams out of the hardest rock,
ki te je vodil skozi to veliko in strašno divjino, v kateri so bile ognjene kače, škorpijoni in suša, kjer ni bilo vode; ki ti je vodo privedel iz kremenčeve skale;
16 and he nourished you in the wilderness with Manna, which your fathers had not known. And after he had afflicted and tested you, in the very end, he took pity on you.
ki te je v divjini hranil z mano, ki je tvoji očetje niso poznali, da bi te lahko ponižal in da bi te lahko preizkusil, da ti v tvojem zadnjem koncu stori dobro.
17 Otherwise, you might say in your heart: ‘My own strength, and the power of my own hand, have brought forth all these things for me.’
In ti bi rekel v svojem srcu: ›Moja moč in mogočnost moje roke mi je pridobila to premoženje.‹
18 But remember the Lord your God, that he himself has provided you with strength, so that he may fulfill his covenant, about which he swore to your fathers, just as the present day reveals.
Ampak se boš spominjal Gospoda, svojega Boga, kajti on je ta, ki ti daje moč, da pridobiš premoženje, da lahko on vzpostavi svojo zavezo, ki jo je prisegel tvojim očetom, kakor je to ta dan.
19 But if you forget the Lord your God, so that you follow foreign gods, and serve and adore them: behold, I now foretell to you that you shall utterly perish.
Zgodilo pa se bo, če pozabite Gospoda, svojega Boga in hodite za drugimi bogovi in jim služite in jih obožujete, ta dan pričujem zoper vas, se boste zagotovo pogubili.
20 Just like the nations, which the Lord destroyed upon your arrival, so shall you also perish, if you have been disobedient to the voice of the Lord your God.”
Kakor narodi, ki jih Gospod uničuje pred vašim obrazom, tako se boste pogubili, ker niste hoteli biti poslušni glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga.
