Deuteronomy 8

1 You shall observe to do all the mitzvot ·instructions· which I enjoin you today, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Adonai swore to your fathers.

Držite i tvorite sve zapovijesti koje vam ja zapovijedam danas, da biste živi bili i umnožili se, i da biste ušli u zemlju za koju se Gospod zakleo ocima vašim, i da biste je naslijedili.

2 You shall remember all the way which Adonai your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his mitzvot ·instructions·, or not.

I opominji se svega puta kojim te je vodio Gospod Bog tvoj èetrdeset godina po pustinji, da bi te namuèio i iskušao, da se zna šta ti je u srcu, hoæeš li držati zapovijesti njegove ili neæeš.

3 He humbled you, and allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna ·what is it·, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know; that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every d'var ·word· that proceeds out of Adonai’s mouth.

I muèio te je, i glaðu te morio; ali te je opet hranio manom, za koju ti nijesi znao ni oci tvoji, da bi ti pokazao da èovjek ne živi o samom hljebu nego o svemu što izlazi iz usta Gospodnjih.

4 Your clothing didn’t grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.

Odijelo tvoje ne ovetša na tebi niti noga tvoja oteèe za ovijeh èetrdeset godina;

5 You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Adonai your God disciplines you.

Zato poznaj u srcu svom da te Gospod Bog tvoj gaji kao što èovjek gaji svoje dijete.

6 You shall keep the mitzvot ·instructions· of Adonai your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

I drži zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega hodeæi putovima njegovijem i bojeæi se njega.

7 For Adonai your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;

Jer Gospod Bog tvoj uvešæe te sada u dobru zemlju, u zemlju u kojoj ima dosta potoka i izvora i jezera, što izviru po dolinama i po brdima;

8 a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;

U zemlju izobilnu pšenicom i jeèmom i vinovom lozom i smokvama i šipcima, zemlju izobilnu maslinom, od koje biva ulje, i medom;

9 a land in which you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.

U zemlju, gdje neæeš sirotinjski jesti hljeba, gdje ti neæe ništa nedostajati; u zemlju, gdje je kamenje gvožðe i gdje æeš iz brda njezinijeh sjeæi mjed.

10 You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Adonai your God for the good land which he has given you.

Ješæeš i biæeš sit, pa blagosiljaj Gospoda Boga svojega za dobru zemlju koju ti da.

11 Beware lest you forget Adonai your God, in not keeping his mitzvot ·instructions·, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I enjoin you today;

I èuvaj se da ne zaboraviš Gospoda Boga svojega bacivši u nemar zapovijesti njegove i zakone njegove i uredbe njegove, koje ti ja zapovijedam danas.

12 lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built fine houses, and lived in them;

I kad uzjedeš i nasitiš se, i dobre kuæe naèiniš i u njima staneš živjeti,

13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;

I kad se goveda tvoja i ovce tvoje naplode, i kad ti se namnoži srebro i zlato, i što god imaš kad ti se namnoži,

14 then your heart might be lifted up, and you forget Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], out of the house of bondage;

Nemoj da se ponese srce tvoje i zaboraviš Gospoda Boga svojega, koji te je izveo iz zemlje Misirske, iz kuæe ropske;

15 who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you out of the rock of flint;

Koji te je vodio preko one pustinje velike i strašne gdje žive zmije vatrene i skorpije, gdje je suša a nema vode; koji ti je izveo vodu iz tvrdoga kamena;

16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna ·what is it·, which your fathers didn’t know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end:

Koji te je hranio u pustinji manom, za koju ne znaše oci tvoji, da bi te namuèio i iskušao te, i najposlije da bi ti dobro uèinio.

17 and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.”

Niti govori u srcu svojem: moja snaga, i sila moje ruke dobavila mi je ovo blago.

18 But you shall remember Adonai your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· which he swore to your fathers, as it is today.

Nego se opominji Gospoda Boga svojega; jer ti on daje snagu da dobavljaš blago, da bi potvrdio zavjet svoj, za koji se zakleo ocima tvojim, kao što se vidi danas.

19 It shall be, if you shall forget Adonai your God, and walk after other deities, and abad ·serve· them, and hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship them, I testify against you today that you shall surely perish.

Ako li zaboraviš Gospoda Boga svojega, i poðeš za drugim bogovima i njima staneš služiti i klanjati se, svjedoèim vam danas da æete zacijelo propasti,

20 As the nations that Adonai makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you wouldn’t sh'ma ·hear obey· Adonai your God’s voice.

Propašæete kao narodi koje Gospod potire ispred vas, jer ne poslušaste glasa Gospoda Boga svojega.
