5 Mojzes 7
1 Ko te bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, privedel v deželo, kamor greš, da jo vzameš v last in je pred teboj pregnal mnoge narode: Hetejce, Girgašéjce, Amoréjce, Kánaance, Perizéjce, Hivéjce in Jebusejce, sedem narodov, večje in mogočnejše kakor ti,
When the LORD your God brings you into the land where you go to possess it, and casts out many nations before you—the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite—seven nations greater and mightier than you;
2 in ko jih bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, izročil pred teboj, jih boš udaril in popolnoma uničil. Nobene zaveze ne boš sklenil z njimi niti jim ne izkaži usmiljenja,
and when the LORD your God delivers them up before you, and you strike them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them.
3 niti z njimi ne boš sklepal porok. Svoje hčere ne boš dal njegovemu sinu niti njegove hčere ne boš vzel k svojemu sinu.
You shall not make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.
4 Kajti tvojega sina bodo odvrnile od sledenja meni, da bi lahko služile drugim bogovom. Tako bo zoper tebe vžgana Gospodova jeza in te nenadoma uniči.
For that would turn away your sons from following me, that they may serve other gods. So the LORD’s anger would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.
5 Temveč boste tako postopali z njimi: uničili boste njihove oltarje in razbili njihove podobe in posekali njihove ašere in njihove rezane podobe sežgali z ognjem.
But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their engraved images with fire.
6 Kajti ti si sveto ljudstvo Gospodu, svojemu Bogu. Gospod, tvoj Bog, te je izbral, da mu boš posebno ljudstvo, nad vsemi ljudstvi, ki so na obličju zemlje.
For you are a holy people to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
7 Gospod svoje ljubezni ni naravnal na vas niti vas ni izbral, ker ste bili številnejši kot katerokoli ljudstvo, kajti bilo vas je najmanj izmed vseh ljudstev,
The LORD didn’t set his love on you nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples;
8 temveč, ker vas je Gospod ljubil in ker je želel držati prisego, ki jo je prisegel vašim očetom, vas je Gospod izpeljal z mogočno roko in vas odkupil iz hiše sužnosti, iz roke faraona, egiptovskega kralja.
but because the LORD loves you, and because he desires to keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Vedi torej, da Gospod, tvoj Bog, on je Bog, zvesti Bog, ki ohranja zavezo in usmiljenje s tistimi, ki ga ljubijo in ohranjajo njegove zapovedi tisočim rodovom.
Know therefore that the LORD your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness to a thousand generations with those who love him and keep his commandments,
10 Tistim pa, ki ga sovražijo, poplača k njihovemu obrazu, da jih uniči. Ne bo počasen do tistega, ki ga sovraži; poplačal mu bo v obraz.
and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack to him who hates him. He will repay him to his face.
11 Torej boš varoval zapovedi, zakone in sodbe, ki sem ti jih ta dan zapovedal, da jih izvršuješ.
You shall therefore keep the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances which I command you today, to do them.
12 Kjerkoli se bo to pripetilo, če prisluhnete tem sodbam in jih varujete in jih izpolnjujete, da ti bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, varoval zavezo in usmiljenje, ki ga je prisegel tvojim očetom.
It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances and keep and do them, that the LORD your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers.
13 Ljubil te bo, te blagoslavljal in te namnožil. Blagoslavljal bo tudi sad tvoje maternice in sad tvoje dežele, tvoje žito, tvoje vino in tvoje olje, narast tvojega goveda in trope tvojih ovc, v deželi, ki jo je prisegel tvojim očetom, da ti jo da.
He will love you, bless you, and multiply you. He will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.
14 Blagoslovljen boš nad vsemi ljudstvi. Med vami ne bo jalovega moškega ali ženske ali med vašo živino.
You will be blessed above all peoples. There won’t be male or female barren amongst you, or amongst your livestock.
15 Gospod bo od tebe odvrnil vso bolezen in nobene izmed teh zlih egiptovskih bolezni, ki jih poznaš, ne bo položil nadte, temveč jih bo položil na vse tiste, ki te sovražijo.
The LORD will take away from you all sickness; and he will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you.
16 Použil boš vsa ljudstva, ki ti jih bo izročil Gospod, tvoj Bog. Tvoje oko nad njimi ne bo imelo nobenega usmiljenja. Niti ne boš služil njihovim bogovom, kajti to ti bo zanka.
You shall consume all the peoples whom the LORD your God shall deliver to you. Your eye shall not pity them. You shall not serve their gods; for that would be a snare to you.
17 Če boš v svojem srcu rekel: ›Ti narodi so številnejši kakor jaz; kako jih lahko razlastim?‹
If you shall say in your heart, “These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?”
18 Ne boš se jih bal, temveč se boš dobro spomnil, kaj je Gospod, tvoj Bog, storil faraonu in vsemu Egiptu:
you shall not be afraid of them. You shall remember well what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt:
19 velike preizkušnje, ki so jih videle tvoje oči, znamenja, čudeže, mogočno roko in iztegnjen laket, s čimer te je izpeljal Gospod, tvoj Bog. Tako bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, storil vsem ljudstvom, ki se jih bojiš.
the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which the LORD your God brought you out. So shall the LORD your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.
20 Poleg tega bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, mednje poslal sršene, dokler ne bodo tisti, ki so preostali in se skrivajo pred teboj, uničeni.
Moreover the LORD your God will send the hornet amongst them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you.
21 Pred njimi ne boš zgrožen, kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je med vami mogočen in strašen Bog.
You shall not be scared of them; for the LORD your God is amongst you, a great and awesome God.
22 In Gospod, tvoj Bog, bo te narode po malo in malo odstranil pred teboj. Ne boš jih mogel naenkrat použiti, da ne bi poljske zveri narasle nad teboj.
The LORD your God will cast out those nations before you little by little. You may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.
23 Toda Gospod, tvoj Bog, jih bo izročil tebi in uničeval jih boš z mogočnim uničenjem, dokler ne bodo uničeni.
But the LORD your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they are destroyed.
24 Njihove kralje bo izročil v tvojo roko in njihovo ime boš uničil izpod neba. Noben človek ne bo zmožen obstati pred teboj, dokler jih ne uničiš.
He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name perish from under the sky. No one will be able to stand before you until you have destroyed them.
25 Rezane podobe njihovih bogov boste sežgali z ognjem. Ne boš hlepel po srebru ali zlatu, ki je na njih niti si ga ne vzemi k sebi, da ne bi bil v tem ujet, kajti to je ogabnost Gospodu, tvojemu Bogu.
You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to the LORD your God.
26 Niti v svojo hišo ne prinašaj gnusobe, da ne bi bil preklet, kakor je ona, temveč naj se ti skrajno gnusi in skrajno jo zaničuj, kajti to je prekleta stvar.
You shall not bring an abomination into your house and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it. You shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.
