Deuteronomy 8

1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land 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 thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to prove thee, to know what [was] in thy heart, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments, or not.

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 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

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 Thy raiment hath not become old upon thee, neither hath thy foot swelled these forty years.

Teh štirideset let se tvoja obleka na tebi ni postarala niti tvoje stopalo ni oteklo.

5 Thou shalt also consider in thy heart, that as a man chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

V svojem srcu boš tudi preudaril, da kakor mož kara svojega sina, tako Gospod, tvoj Bog, kara tebe.

6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

Zatorej boš varoval zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, da hodiš po njegovih poteh in da se ga bojiš.

7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains, and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;

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

deželo pšenice, ječmena, trt, figovih dreves in granatnih jabolk; deželo olivnega olja in medu;

9 A land in which thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any [thing] in it, a land whose stones [are] iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.

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 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

Ko se naješ in si sit, potem boš blagoslovil Gospoda, svojega Boga, zaradi dobre dežele, ki ti jo je dal.

11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee 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 Lest [when] thou hast eaten, and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt [in them];

da se ne bi, ko se naješ in si sit in si si zgradil ljubke hiše in prebival v njih;

13 And [when] thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold are increased, and all that thou hast is increased;

in ko se tvoji tropi in tvoje črede pomnožijo in je pomnoženo tvoje srebro in tvoje zlato in je pomnoženo vse, kar imaš;

14 Then thy heart shall be lifted up, and thou shalt forget the LORD thy God (who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; )

tvoje srce ne povzdigne in pozabiš na Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki te je privedel iz egiptovske dežele, iz hiše sužnosti,

15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, [in which were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drouth, where [there was] no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

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 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end.

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 And thou shalt say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth.

In ti bi rekel v svojem srcu: ›Moja moč in mogočnost moje roke mi je pridobila to premoženje.‹

18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to thy fathers, as [it is] this day.

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 And it shall be, if thou shalt at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely 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 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient 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.
