Deuteronomy 31

1 Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.

Mojzes je odšel in te besede spregovoril vsemu Izraelu.

2 He said to them, “I am one hundred twenty years old today. I can no more go out and come in. Yahweh has said to me, ‘You shall not go over this Jordan.’

Rekel jim je: »Jaz sem ta dan star sto dvajset let. Ne morem več hoditi ven in vstopati noter. Tudi Gospod mi je rekel: ›Ti ne boš šel preko tega Jordana.‹

3 Yahweh your God himself will go over before you. He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua will go over before you, as Yahweh has spoken.

Gospod, tvoj Bog, bo šel preko pred teboj in on bo izpred tebe uničil te narode in ti jih boš vzel v last in Józue, on bo šel preko pred teboj, kakor je rekel Gospod.

4 Yahweh will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, when he destroyed them.

Gospod jim bo storil kakor je storil Sihónu in Ogu, kraljema Amoréjcev in njuni deželi, ki ju je uničil.

5 Yahweh will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.

Gospod ju bo izročil pred tvoj obraz, da jima boš lahko storil glede na vse zapovedi, ki sem ti jih zapovedal.

6 Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them, for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.”

Bodi močan in odločnega poguma, ne boj se niti se jih ne plaši, kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, on je ta, ki gre s teboj; ne bo te razočaral niti te ne bo zapustil.«

7 Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which Yahweh has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it.

Mojzes je zaklical k Józuetu in mu pred očmi vsega Izraela rekel: »Bodi močan in odločnega poguma, kajti s tem ljudstvom moraš iti v deželo, ki jo je Gospod prisegel njihovim očetom, da jim jo da; in ti jim boš povzročil, da jo podedujejo.

8 Yahweh himself is who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged.”

Gospod, on je ta, ki gre pred teboj. S teboj bo, ne bo te razočaral niti te ne bo zapustil. Ne boj se niti ne bodi zaprepaden.«

9 Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, and to all the elders of Israel.

Mojzes je zapisal to postavo in jo izročil duhovnikom, sinovom Lévijevcev, ki so nosili skrinjo Gospodove zaveze, in vsem Izraelovim starešinam.

10 Moses commanded them, saying, “At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of booths,

Mojzes jim je zapovedal, rekoč: »Ob koncu vsakih sedmih let, na slovesno leto odpusta, na šotorski praznik,

11 when all Israel has come to appear before Yahweh your God in the place which he will choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

ko pride ves Izrael, da se prikaže pred Gospodom, tvojim Bogom, na kraju, ki ga bo on izbral, boš to postavo bral pred vsem Izraelom v njihovo uho.

12 Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and the foreigners who are within your gates, that they may hear, learn, fear Yahweh your God, and observe to do all the words of this law,

Skupaj zberi ljudstvo, može, žene, otroke in svojega tujca, ki je znotraj tvojih velikih vratih, da lahko slišijo in da se lahko naučijo in se bojijo Gospoda, svojega Boga in obeležujejo, da storijo vse besede te postave

13 and that their children, who have not known, may hear and learn to fear Yahweh your God, as long as you live in the land where you go over the Jordan to possess it.”

in da njihovi otroci, ki niso poznali ničesar, lahko slišijo in se naučijo bati se Gospoda, svojega Boga, tako dolgo kot vi živite v deželi, kamor greste prek Jordana, da jo vzamete v last.«

14 Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, your days approach that you must die. Call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him.” Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.

Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Glej, približujejo se tvoji dnevi, ko moraš umreti. Pokliči Józueta in se postavita v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti, da mu lahko dam naročilo.« Mojzes in Józue sta odšla in se postavila v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti.

15 Yahweh appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood over the Tent’s door.

Gospod se je prikazal v šotorskem svetišču, v oblačnem stebru in oblačni steber je stal nad vrati šotorskega svetišča.

16 Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers. This people will rise up and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land where they go to be among them, and will forsake me and break my covenant which I have made with them.

Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Glej, zaspal boš s svojimi očeti in to ljudstvo se bo vzdignilo in se šlo vlačugat za bogovi tujcev dežele, v katero gredo, da bi bili med njimi in zapustili me bodo in prelomili mojo zavezo, ki sem jo sklenil z njimi.

17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Haven’t these evils come on us because our God is not among us?’

Potem bo na tisti dan moja jeza vneta zoper njih in zapustil jih bom in svoj obraz bom skril pred njimi in použiti bodo in številna zla in težave jih bodo zadele, tako da bodo na tisti dan rekli: ›Ali niso nad nas prišla ta zla, ker med nami ni našega Boga?‹

18 I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they have done, in that they have turned to other gods.

Na tisti dan bom zagotovo skril svoj obraz zaradi vseh hudobij, ki jih bodo naredili v tem, da so se obrnili k drugim bogovom.

19 “Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

Zdaj si torej zapišite to pesem in jo učite Izraelove otroke. Položite jo v njihova usta, da bo ta pesem lahko priča zame zoper Izraelove otroke.

20 For when I have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat, then they will turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.

Kajti ko jih bom privedel v deželo, ki sem jo prisegel njihovim očetom, kjer tečeta mleko in med in bodo jedli in se nasitili in postali debeli, potem se bodo obrnili k drugim bogovom in jim služili in me izzivali in prelomili mojo zavezo.

21 It will happen, when many evils and troubles have come on them, that this song will testify before them as a witness; for it will not be forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants; for I know their ways and what they are doing today, before I have brought them into the land which I promised them.”

Zgodilo se bo, ko jih bodo doletela mnoga zla in stiske, da bo ta pesem pričala zoper njih kakor priča, kajti ta ne bo pozabljena iz ust njihovega semena, kajti jaz poznam njihove zamisli, s katerimi hodijo naokoli, celo sedaj, preden sem jih privedel v deželo, ki sem jim jo prisegel.«

22 So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.

Zato je Mojzes isti dan napisal to pesem in jo učil Izraelove otroke.

23 He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, “Be strong and courageous; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them. I will be with you.”

Nunovemu sinu Józuetu je dal zadolžitev in rekel: »Bodi močan in odločnega poguma, kajti ti boš Izraelove otroke privedel v deželo, ki sem jim jo prisegel in jaz bom s teboj.«

24 When Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,

Pripetilo se je, ko je Mojzes končal s pisanjem besed te postave v knjigo, dokler niso bile dokončane,

25 Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, saying,

da je Mojzes zapovedal Lévijevcem, ki so nosili skrinjo Gospodove zaveze, rekoč:

26 “Take this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark of Yahweh your God’s covenant, that it may be there for a witness against you.

»Vzemite to knjigo postave in jo postavite v stran skrinje zaveze Gospoda, svojega Boga, da bo ta lahko tam za pričo zoper tebe.

27 For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. Behold, while I am yet alive with you today, you have been rebellious against Yahweh. How much more after my death?

Kajti poznam tvoj upor in tvoj trdi vrat. Glej, medtem ko sem z vami ta dan še živ, ste bili uporni zoper Gospoda in koliko bolj po moji smrti?

28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them.

Zberite k meni vse starešine svojih rodov in svoje častnike, da lahko te besede govorim v njihova ušesa in kličem nebo in zemljo, da pričata zoper njih.

29 For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn away from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will happen to you in the latter days, because you will do that which is evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.”

Kajti vem, da se boste po moji smrti popolnoma izpridili in odvrnili od poti, ki sem vam jo zapovedal in zlo vas bo zadelo v zadnjih dneh, ker boste počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh, da ga dražite k jezi skozi dela svojih rok.«

30 Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished.

Mojzes je na ušesa vse Izraelove skupnosti govoril besede te pesmi, dokler se niso končale.
