5 Mojzes 4
1 Zdaj torej prisluhni, oh Izrael, zakonom in sodbam, ki vas jih učim, da jih izpolnjujete, da boste lahko živeli, vstopili in vzeli v last deželo, ki vam jo daje Gospod, Bog vaših očetov.
People of Israel, pay attention to the rules and regulations I'm teaching you to observe. That way you can stay alive, and go in and take over the country the Lord, the God of your forefathers, is giving you.
2 Ne boste dodajali besedi, ki sem vam jo zapovedal niti ne boste zmanjševali česa od nje, da bi lahko ohranjali zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki sem vam jih zapovedal.
You are not to add to or take away from what I'm telling you, so that you can keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I'm ordering you to follow.
3 Vaše oči so videle kaj je Gospod storil zaradi Báal Peórja. Zaradi vseh mož, ki so sledili Báal Peórju, jih je Gospod, tvoj Bog, uničil izmed vas.
You've seen for yourselves what the Lord did at Baal-peor where the Lord your God killed everyone among you who worshiped Baal of Peor.
4 Toda vi, ki ste se trdno držali Gospoda, svojega Boga, ste danes živi, vsakdo izmed vas.
Those of you who were faithful to the Lord your God are still alive today, every one of you.
5 Glejte, učil sem vas zakonov in sodb, celo kakor mi je Gospod, moj Bog, zapovedal, da naj bi storili v deželi, kamor greste, da jo vzamete v last.
Listen, I have taught you the rules and regulations just as the Lord my God ordered me to do, so you can follow them in the country that you are about to enter and take over.
6 Torej jih ohranjajte in izpolnjujte, kajti to je vaša modrost in vaše razumevanje v očeh narodov, ki bodo slišali vse te zakone in rekli: ›Zagotovo je ta véliki narod modro in razumevajoče ljudstvo.‹
Be careful to observe them, because this will demonstrate your wisdom and insight to the other people living there who are watching. They will find out about all these rules and say, “The people of this great nation are very wise and have good insight.”
7 Kajti kateri narod je tam tako velik, ki ima Boga tako blizu, kakor je Gospod, naš Bog, v vseh stvareh, za katere kličemo k njemu?
What nation is as great as us, having a god so close to them as the Lord our God is to us whenever we call on him?
8 In kateri narod je tam tako velik, ki ima zakone in sodbe tako pravične, kot je vsa ta postava, ki jo danes postavljam pred vas?
What nation is as great as us, having such good rules and regulations like all these laws that I'm placing before you today?
9 Samo pazi nase in marljivo varuj svojo dušo, da ne pozabiš stvari, ki so jih videle tvoje oči in da vse dni tvojega življenja ne odidejo od tvojega srca, temveč poučuj svoje sinove in svojih sinov sinove,
Just make sure to be very careful, and really watch what you do, so you don't forget the things you've have seen. Keep them in mind as long as you live. Teach them to your children and grandchildren.
10 posebej [o] dnevu, ko si stal pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, na Horebu, ko mi je Gospod rekel: ›Zberi mi skupaj ljudstvo in pripravil jih bom slišati moje besede, da se me bodo lahko naučili bati vse dni, ki jih bodo živeli na zemlji in da bodo lahko učili svoje otroke.‹
That day when you stood in the presence of the Lord your God at Horeb, the Lord told me, “Have the people come to me and to hear what I have to say, so they may learn to have respect for me throughout their lives here on earth, and so they may teach this to their children.”
11 In približali ste se ter stali pod goro in gora je gorela z ognjem do srede neba, s temo, oblaki in gosto temo.
You gathered and stood at the foot of the mountain. The mountain was on fire, shooting out flames into the sky and producing thick dark clouds.
12 Gospod vam je spregovoril iz srede ognja. Slišali ste glas besed, toda nobene podobnosti niste videli, samo glas ste slišali.
The Lord spoke to you from the fire. You heard the words, but you didn't see the form of anyone speaking—there was just a voice.
13 Naznanil vam je svojo zavezo, ki vam jo je zapovedal, da jo opravljate, torej deset zapovedi, in napisal jih je na dve kamniti plošči.
He explained to you his agreement, the Ten Commandments, which he ordered you to follow. He wrote them down on two tablets of stone.
14 Gospod mi je ob tistem času zapovedal, da vas učim zakone in sodbe, da jih boste lahko izpolnjevali v deželi, kamor greste, da jo vzamete v last.
This was the time that the Lord ordered me to teach you the rules and regulations that you are to follow when you arrive in the country you're going to own once you've crossed the Jordan.
15 Zato torej dobro pazite nase, kajti nobene vrste podobnosti niste videli na dan, ko vam je Gospod govoril na Horebu iz srede ognja,
You didn't see any form when the Lord spoke to you from the fire at Horeb, so be very careful
16 da se ne bi izpridili in si naredili rezane podobe, podobnost kakršnekoli postave, podobnost moškega ali ženske,
that you don't spoil your relationship with the Lord by making an idol for yourselves in any shape or form, whether it looks like a male or female,
17 podobnost katerekoli živali, ki je na zemlji, podobnost katerekoli krilate perjadi, ki leti po zraku,
or any land animal or bird that flies,
18 podobnost katerekoli stvari, ki se plazi po tleh, podobnost katerekoli ribe, ki je v vodah pod zemljo,
or of any animal that crawls on the ground or any fish in the deep sea.
19 in da ne bi povzdignil svojih oči k nebu in ko zagledaš sonce, luno in zvezde, celó vso vojsko neba, da ne bi bil zapeljan, da jih obožuješ in jim služiš, ki jih je Gospod, tvoj Bog, razdelil vsem narodom pod celotnim nebom.
When you look up at the sky and see the sun, moon, and stars—all the heavenly bodies—don't be tempted to bow down to them. Don't worship them like all the other nations on earth in the way that the Lord has allowed.
20 Toda Gospod vas je vzel in vas privedel naprej iz železne talilne peči, torej iz Egipta, da mu boste ljudstvo dediščine, kakor ste ta dan.
Remember that the Lord took you and led you out of the iron furnace which was Egypt to be his own people, just as you are today.
21 Nadalje je bil zaradi vas Gospod jezen nad menoj in prisegel, da naj ne bi šel preko Jordana in da naj ne bi vstopil v to dobro deželo, ki ti jo Gospod, tvoj Bog, daje v dediščino,
But the Lord was angry with me because of you, and he vowed that I wouldn't cross the Jordan to enter the good land that the Lord your God is giving you to own.
22 temveč moram umreti v tej deželi, ne smem iti čez Jordan. Toda vi boste šli čez in tisto dobro deželo vzeli v last.
So I will not be crossing the Jordan, because I have to die here in this land. But you will cross over and occupy that good land.
23 Pazite nase, da ne bi pozabili zaveze Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki jo je sklenil z vami in si naredili rezane podobe ali podobnost katerekoli stvari, ki ti jo je Gospod, tvoj Bog, prepovedal.
However, be careful not to forget the agreement of the Lord your God that he made with you. Don't make an idol for yourselves in the form of anything, because he has forbidden you to do this.
24 Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je požirajoč ogenj, celó ljubosumen Bog.
For the Lord your God is a fire that burns everything up. He is an exclusive God.
25 Ko boš zaplodil otroke in otrok otroke in boste dolgo ostali v deželi in se boste izpridili in naredili rezano podobo ali podobnost katerikoli stvari in boste počeli zlo v očeh Gospoda, svojega Boga, da ga dražite k jezi,
After you have been living in the country for a long time and have had children and grandchildren, if you then spoil the relationship you have with the Lord and make an idol in any form. The Lord your God sees this as evil makes him angry.
26 pokličem nebo in zemljo, da ta dan pričujeta zoper vas, da boste kmalu popolnoma izginili iz dežele, v katero ste šli prek Jordana, da jo vzamete v last. Ne boste podaljšali svojih dni na njej, temveč boste popolnoma uničeni.
If you do this, I call on heaven and earth to be witnesses against you today that you will be completely wiped out from the country that you are crossing the Jordan to occupy. You will not live long there—you will be totally destroyed.
27 Gospod vas bo razkropil med narode in malo vas bo ostalo po številu med pogani, kamor vas bo vodil Gospod.
The Lord will scatter you among the other nations, and not many of you will survive in the countries where the Lord has exiled you.
28 Tam boste služili bogovom, delu človeških rok, lesu in kamnu, ki niti ne vidita niti ne slišita, ne jesta niti ne vonjata.
There you will worship gods of wood and stone made by human beings. These idols can't see or hear or eat or smell.
29 Toda če boš od tam iskal Gospoda, svojega Boga, ga boš našel, če ga iščeš z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo.
However, if while you're there you decide to come to the Lord your God, you will find him if you come to him whole-heartedly, with complete commitment.
30 Ko si v stiski in vse te stvari pridejo nadte, torej v zadnjih dneh, če se obrneš h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu in boš poslušen njegovemu glasu
When you are in trouble, after you've experienced all these things, then eventually you will return to the Lord your God and do what he says.
31 (kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je usmiljen Bog) te ne bo zapustil niti uničil niti pozabil zaveze tvojih očetov, ki jim jo je prisegel.
The Lord your God is a merciful God. He won't abandon you or destroy you or forget the agreement he made with your forefathers, confirmed by a solemn promise.
32 Kajti vprašaj sedaj o dneh, ki so minili, ki so bili pred teboj, od dneva, ko je Bog na zemlji ustvaril moža in vprašaj od ene strani neba do druge, ali je bila tam kakršna koli takšna stvar, kot je ta velika stvar, ali je bila slišati podobno?
Think about it! Examine the whole of history from the beginning of time, long before you existed, when God made human beings, right up until now. Ask this question anywhere, from one end of the earth to the other: Has anything as amazing as this ever happened before; has anyone ever heard anything like this?
33 Mar je kdajkoli ljudstvo slišalo glas Boga govoriti iz srede ognja, kakor si slišal ti, in je živelo?
Has a people ever heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire, like you have, and survived?
34 Mar je Bog poskušal iti in si vzeti narod iz srede drugega naroda, s preizkušnjami, znamenji, čudeži, vojno, mogočno roko, z iztegnjenim laktom in z velikimi strahotami, glede na vse, kar je Gospod, vaš Bog, storil za vas v Egiptu, pred vašimi očmi?
Has any god tried to take a nation out of another nation and make them his own, using tests and signs and miracles and war—with his great power and incredible strength and terrifying actions—like the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes?
35 Tebi je bilo pokazano, da bi lahko vedel, da Gospod, on je Bog. Tam ni nobenega drugega poleg njega.
You were shown all this so you could be certain that the Lord is God and there is no one like him.
36 Iz nebes ti je dal, da slišiš njegov glas, da bi te lahko poučil, in na zemlji ti je pokazal svoj velik ogenj in ti slišiš njegove besede iz srede ognja.
He made you hear his voice from heaven so you would obey him. On earth he revealed himself though blazing fire, and you heard him speak to you from the fire.
37 Ker je vzljubil tvoje očete, zato je izbral tvoje seme za njimi in te privedel ven v njegovem pogledu, s svojo mogočno močjo iz Egipta,
Because he loved your forefathers, he chose you, their descendants. He himself led you out of Egypt by his great power,
38 da izpred tebe napodi narode, večje in mogočnejše kakor si ti, da te privede noter, da ti da njihovo deželo v dediščino, kakor je to ta dan.
driving out ahead of you nations that were greater and stronger than you, in order to lead you to their land and give it to you as yours to own, just as you do today.
39 Vedi torej danes in preudari to v svojem srcu, da Gospod, on je Bog, v nebesih zgoraj in na zemlji spodaj. Tam ni nobenega drugega.
So today be sure about this and never forget: the Lord is the only God in heaven above and on the earth below.
40 Ohranjal boš torej njegove zakone in njegove zapovedi, ki ti jih danes zapovedujem, da bo lahko šlo dobro s teboj in s tvojimi otroki za teboj in da lahko podaljšaš svoje dneve na zemlji, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, na veke.«
Observe his rules and regulations that I'm giving you right now, so that you and your children will do well, and that you may have long lives in the country that the Lord your God is giving you for all time.
41 Potem je Mojzes oddvojil tri mesta na tej strani Jordana proti sončnemu vzhodu,
Then Moses assigned three sanctuary towns to the east of the Jordan
42 da bi ubijalec, ki bi nenamerno ubil svojega bližnjega in ga v preteklih časih ni sovražil, lahko pobegnil tja in da bežeč v eno izmed teh mest lahko ostane živ.
where a person could run to after accidentally killing someone without deliberate hatred. To save their life they could run to one of these towns:
43 Namreč Becer v divjini, na ravnini dežele Rubenovcev in Ramót v Gileádu od Gádovcev in Golán v Bašánu od Manásejcev.
Bezer in the desert plain belonging to the tribe of Reuben; Ramoth in Gilead belonging to the tribe of Gad, or Golan in Bashan belonging to the tribe of Manasseh.
44 To je postava, ki jo je Mojzes postavil pred Izraelove otroke.
This is the law that Moses placed before the Israelites.
45 To so pričevanja, zakoni in sodbe, ki jih je Mojzes govoril Izraelovim otrokom, po tem, ko so izšli iz Egipta,
These are the laws, rules, and regulations Moses gave them after they had come out of Egypt.
46 na tej strani Jordana, v dolini nasproti Bet Peórja, v deželi amoréjskega kralja Sihóna, ki je prebival v Hešbónu, ki so ga Mojzes in Izraelovi otroci udarili, potem ko so izšli iz Egipta.
This was when they were in the valley to the east of the Jordan near Beth-peor in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites. He had ruled from Heshbon and had been defeated by Moses and the Israelites after they had left Egypt.
47 Vzeli so v last njegovo deželo in deželo bašánskega kralja Oga, dveh kraljev Amoréjcev, ki sta bila na tej strani Jordana, proti sončnemu vzhodu;
They took over his country and the country of Og king of Bashan. (They were the two kings of the Amorites who previously ruled on the east side of the Jordan.)
48 od Aroêrja, ki je ob bregu reke Arnón, celo do gore Sion, ki je Hermon
The territory went from the town of Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Valley all the way to Mount Sirion, otherwise known as Mount Hermon,
49 in vso ravnino na tej strani Jordana proti vzhodu, celo do morja ravnine, pod izviri Pisge.
and included all the Arabah to the east of the Jordan down as far as the Dead Sea beside the slopes of Mount Pisgah.
