Deuteronomy 32
1 Heaven, listen as I speak; Earth, hear what I'm saying.
»Pazljivo prisluhni, oh ti nebo, jaz pa bom govoril in sliši, oh zemlja, besede mojih ust.
2 May my teaching fall gently like the rain; may my words drop lightly like the dew, like soft rain on new grass, like spring showers on growing plants.
Moj nauk bo kapljal kakor dež, moj govor bo rosil kakor rosa, kakor dežek na nežno zelišče in kakor nalivi na travo,
3 I will praise the Lord's character. Tell everyone how great he is!
ker bom razglašal Gospodovo ime. Veličino pripišite našemu Bogu.
4 He is the Rock. Everything he does is perfect, for all his ways are right. He is the trustworthy God who is never unjust; he is fair and honest.
On je Skala, njegovo delo je popolno, kajti vse njegove poti so sodba. Bog resnice in brez krivičnosti, pravičen in iskren je on.
5 His children have acted immorally towards him; so they are no longer his children because of their sinful stains. They are a perverse and corrupt people.
Izpridili so se, njihov madež ni madež njegovih otrok. Sprevržen in sprijen rod so.
6 Is this any way to repay the Lord, you foolish, stupid people? Isn't he your Father who created you? Isn't he the one who turned you into a nation and made you strong?
Ali tako poplačate Gospodu, oh nespametno in ne-modro ljudstvo? Mar ni on tvoj oče, ki te je kupil? Mar te ni on naredil in te postavil?
7 Remember the olden days; think about times long ago. God and ask your father, and he will explain them to you. Talk to your elders, and they will let you know.
Spomnite se dni od davnine, preudarite leta mnogih rodov. Vprašajte svojega očeta in vam bo pokazal, svoje starešine in ti bodo povedali.
8 The Most High gave the nations their lands when he divided the human race; he fixed their borders depending on their gods.
Ko je Najvišji narodom razdelil njihovo dediščino, ko je ločil Adamove sinove, je ljudstvu postavil meje, glede na število Izraelovih otrok.
9 But the Lord's people are his, Israel is his chosen one.
Kajti Gospodov delež je njegovo ljudstvo; Jakob je žreb njegove dediščine.
10 He found you in a desert land, in a desolate wasteland of whirlwinds. He protected you; he cared for you; he looked after you as the one he loved the most.
Našel ga je v zapuščeni deželi in v opustošeni, tuleči divjini. Vodil ga je naokrog, poučeval ga je, ga varoval kakor punčico svojega očesa.
11 Like an eagle watching over its nest, hovering over its chicks, he spread his wings and picked you up and carried you along.
Kakor orlica spodbuja svoje gnezdo, frfota nad svojimi mladiči, široko razširja svoje peruti, jih jemlje in nosi na svojih perutih,
12 The Lord was the only one who led you; no foreign god was with him.
tako ga je Gospod sam vodil in tam z njim ni bilo tujega boga.
13 The Lord gave you the high country to rule, and fed you with the crops of the field to eat. He sustained you with honey from the rock and olive oil from the flinty crag,
Dal mu je jahati na visokih krajih zemlje, da bi lahko jedel donos od polj in storil mu je, da sesa med iz skale in olje iz kremenčeve skale,
14 with yogurt from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, along with the best wheat. You drank the wine made from the best grapes.
maslo goveda in mleko ovc, s tolščo jagnjet in ovni bašánske pasme in koze, z najbogatejšo notranjostjo zrna in pil si čisto kri grozdnih jagod.
15 But Israel, you grew fat and rebelled—fat, overweight, and bloated with food. You abandoned the God who made you and despised the Rock of your salvation.
Toda Ješurún se je odebelil in brcal. Postal si debel, postal si gost, pokrit si z maščobo. Potem je zapustil Boga, ki ga je naredil in preziral Skalo rešitve svoje duše.
16 You made the Lord jealous by worshiping foreign gods; you made him angry with such disgusting practices.
S tujimi bogovi so ga dražili do ljubosumnosti, z ogabnostmi so ga izzivali k jezi.
17 You offered sacrifices to demons instead of God, to gods you didn't know anything about, to brand-new gods that your forefathers didn't worship.
Žrtvovali so hudičem, ne pa Bogu, bogovom, ki jih niso poznali, novim bogovom, ki so se na novo pojavili, ki se jih vaši očetje niso bali.
18 You dismissed the Rock who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave birth to you.
Nisi mislil na Skalo, ki te je spočela in pozabil si Boga, ki te je oblikoval.
19 The Lord rejected them when he saw this; his sons and daughters made him angry.
Ko je Gospod to videl, jih je zaničeval, ker so ga njegovi sinovi in njegove hčere jezili.
20 He said: “I will turn away from them. Then I'll see what happens to them! They are a perverse people, unfaithful children.
Rekel je: ›Svoj obraz bom skril pred njimi. Videl bom kakšen bo njihov konec, kajti zelo kljubovalen rod so, otroci, v katerih ni vere.
21 They have made me jealous by worshiping things that are not God; they have made me angry with their useless idols. So I will make them jealous using a people that aren't really a nation; I will make them angry using ignorant foreigners.
Ganili so me do ljubosumja s tem, kar ni Bog; s svojimi ničevostmi so me izzivali k jezi. Do ljubosumja jih bom ganil s tistimi, ki niso ljudstvo; k jezi jih bom izzival z nespametnim narodom.
22 My anger has been set on fire, burning down to the depths of the grave, destroying the earth and all it produces, even setting fire to the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Kajti v moji jezi je vžgan ogenj in gorel bo do najnižjega pekla in použil bo zemljo z njenim narastom in vžgal bo temelje gora. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will pile disasters on them; I will use up my arrows shooting at them.
Nanje bom nakopičil vragolije, nanje bom poslal svoje puščice.
24 They will waste away from hunger, destroyed by disease and poisonous plague. I will send wild animals to bite them with their teeth, the fangs of snakes that slide along the ground.
Izčrpani bodo z lakoto in požrti z gorečo vročino in z grenkim uničenjem. Nadnje bom poslal tudi zobe zveri, s strupom kač, [ki se plazijo po] prahu.
25 Outside in the streets the sword kills their children, inside their homes, they die from fright; young men and young women, children and old people.
Meč zunaj in strahota znotraj bo uničila tako mladeniča kot devico, tudi dojenčka z možem sivih las.‹
26 I would have told them I was going to cut them to pieces and wipe out even the memory of them;
Rekel sem: ›Razkropil jih bom v kote in storil bom, da spomin nanje zbledi med ljudmi.
27 but I didn't want to hear their conquerors jeering, their enemies misunderstanding what had happened and saying, ‘We won all by ourselves, the Lord didn't have anything to do with it.’
Mar ni bilo, da sem se bal sovražnikovega besa, da se ne bi njihovi nasprotniki čudno obnašali in da ne bi rekli: ›Naša roka je visoko in Gospod ni storil vsega tega.‹‹
28 Israel is a nation that doesn't think straight; none of them understand anything.
Kajti oni so narod brez preudarnosti niti ni nobenega razumevanja v njih.
29 How I wish they were wise, so they could understand it; they would recognize what was going to happen to them.
Oh, da bi bili modri, da bi to razumeli, da bi preudarili svoj zadnji konec!
30 How on earth could one man chase after a thousand, or two make ten thousand run away, unless their Rock of protection had sold them, unless the Lord had surrendered them?
Kako naj jih eden prežene tisoč in dva pripravita deset tisoč, da bežijo, razen, da jih je njihova Skala prodala in jih je Gospod izročil?
31 The rock they rely on is not like our Rock, as even our enemies admit.
Kajti njihova skala ni kakor naša Skala, celo sami naši sovražniki so sodniki.
32 But their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; they are bitter bunches.
Kajti njihova trta je iz sódomske trte in iz gomórskih polj. Njihovo grozdje je grozdje žolča, njihovi grozdi so grenki.
33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, deadly snake venom.
Njihovo vino je strup zmajev in krut strup kober.
34 I've stored this all up; it's sealed in my vaults.
Mar ni to prihranjeno v shrambi z menoj in zapečateno med mojimi zakladi?
35 I make sure justice is done, I will repay. The time is coming when they will fall, their day of disaster is approaching, their doom will soon arrive.”
Meni pripada maščevanje in povračilo. Njihovo stopalo bo zdrsnilo ob pravem času, kajti dan njihove katastrofe je pri roki in stvari, ki bodo prišle nadnje, hitijo.
36 The Lord is going to vindicate his people; he will be merciful to his servants when he sees that they have no strength left, and that everyone is gone, whether slave or free.
Kajti Gospod bo sodil svoje ljudstvo in se pokesal zaradi svojih služabnikov, ko vidi, da je njihova moč odšla in tam ni nikogar zaprtega ali preostalega.
37 He'll ask, “What happened to your gods, the rock where your went for protection?
Rekel bo: ›Kje so njihovi bogovi, njihova skala, v katero so zaupali,
38 Who ate the fat of your sacrifices and drank the wine of your drink offerings? Have them come and help you; have them come and protect you!
ki so jedli tolščo svojih klavnih daritev in pili vino svojih pitnih daritev? Naj vstanejo in vam pomagajo in bodo vaša zaščita.
39 Listen! I am the only God! There is no other God except me! I bring death, and I give life; I wound, and I heal. No one can be rescued from my power.
Poglej sedaj, da sem jaz, celó jaz sam in tukaj ni boga z menoj. Jaz ubijam in jaz oživljam; jaz ranim in jaz ozdravljam. Niti tam ni nobenega, ki lahko osvobodi iz moje roke.
40 I hold up my hand to heaven and solemnly declare on my eternal life,
Kajti svojo roko dvignem do neba in rečem: ›Jaz živim na veke.‹
41 when I sharpen my shining sword and pick it up to execute judgment, I will repay my enemies and punish those who hate me as they deserve.
Če nabrusim svoj lesketajoči meč in moja roka zgrabi sodbo, bom povrnil maščevanje svojim sovražnikom in nagradil tiste, ki me sovražijo.
42 My arrows will become drunk with blood, as my sword eats flesh; the blood of those who are killed and captured, the heads of the enemy's leaders.”
Svoje puščice bom opijanil s krvjo in moj meč bo žrl meso in to s krvjo umorjenih in ujetnikov, od začetka maščevanj nad sovražnikom.‹
43 Celebrate with him! Let all God's angels worship him! Celebrate, foreigners, with his people; because he will pay back those who killed his children. He will punish his enemies, and repay those who hate him; he will purify his land and his people.
Veselite se, oh vi narodi, z njegovim ljudstvom, kajti maščeval bo kri svojih služabnikov in povrnil bo maščevanje svojim nasprotnikom in usmiljen bo do svoje dežele in do svojega ljudstva.«
44 Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song for the people to hear.
Mojzes je prišel in vse besede te pesmi spregovoril v ušesa ljudstva, on in Nunov sin Hošéa.
45 After Moses finished reciting the whole song to all the Israelites,
Mojzes je končal govorjenje vseh teh besed vsemu Izraelu.
46 he told them, “Think about all these words I've declared to you today, so you can order your children to follow carefully everything in this law.
Rekel jim je: »Nastavite svoja srca k vsem besedam, ki jih ta dan pričujem med vami, ki jih boste zapovedali svojim otrokom, da jih obeležujejo, da jih storijo, vse besede te postave.
47 Don't treat these words as trivial because they are your life, and by them you will have long lives in the country that you will own after crossing the Jordan.”
Kajti to za vas ni prazna stvar, ker to je vaše življenje in zaradi te stvari boste podaljšali svoje dni v deželi, kamor greste čez Jordan, da jo vzamete v last.«
48 That same day the Lord told Moses,
Gospod je ta isti dan spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
49 “Climb up into the Abarim mountains to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look over the country of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites for them to own.
»Povzpni se na to gorovje Abarím, na goro Nebó, ki je v deželi Moáb, ki je nasproti Jerihe in poglej kánaansko deželo, ki jo dajem Izraelovim otrokom v posest.
50 There on the mountain you've climbed, you will die and join your people in death, in the same way your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and joined his people.
Umri na gori, kamor se povzpneš in bodi zbran k svojemu ljudstvu, kakor je tvoj brat Aron umrl na gori Hor in je bil zbran k svojemu ljudstvu,
51 For there at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Desert of Zin, you both were unfaithful to me. You misrepresented me to the Israelites when you didn't treat me as holy in their presence.
ker sta grešila zoper mene med Izraelovimi otroki pri vodah Meríba [v] Kadešu, v Cinski divjini, ker me nista izkazala svetega v sredi Izraelovih otrok.
52 Though you will see the country that I am giving the Israelites from a distance, you won't enter it.”
Vendar boš deželo videl pred seboj, toda ne boš šel tja, v deželo, ki sem jo dal Izraelovim otrokom.«
