Ponovljeni zakon 6

1 Ovo su zapovijedi, zakoni i uredbe koje mi Jahve, Bog vaš, zapovjedi da vas u njima poučim, kako biste ih vršili u zemlji u koju odlazite da je zaposjednete;

“And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which your God YHWH has commanded to teach you to do in the land which you are passing over there to possess it,

2 da se svega svog vijeka bojiš Jahve, Boga svoga, ti, sin tvoj i sin tvoga sina, vršeći sve zakone njegove i sve zapovijedi njegove što ti ih danas propisujem, pa da imaš dug život.

so that you fear your God YHWH, to keep all His statutes and His commands which I am commanding you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all [the] days of your life, and so that your days are prolonged.

3 Slušaj, Izraele, drži ih i vrši da ti dobro bude i da se razmnožiš u zemlji kojom teče med i mlijeko, kao što ti je obećao Jahve, Bog otaca tvojih.

And you have heard, O Israel, and observed to do [them], that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply exceedingly, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.

4 Čuj, Izraele! Jahve je Bog naš, Jahve je jedan!

Hear, O Israel: Our God YHWH—YHWH [is] one!

5 Zato ljubi Jahvu, Boga svoga, svim srcem svojim, svom dušom svojom i svom snagom svojom!

And you have loved your God YHWH with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

6 Riječi ove što ti ih danas naređujem neka ti se urežu u srce.

And these words which I am commanding you today have been on your heart,

7 Napominji ih svojim sinovima. Govori im o njima kad sjediš u svojoj kući i kad ideš putem; kad liježeš i kad ustaješ.

and you have repeated them to your sons, and spoken of them in your sitting in your house, and in your walking in the way, and in your lying down, and in your rising up,

8 Priveži ih na svoju ruku za znak i neka ti budu kao zapis među očima!

and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes,

9 Ispiši ih na dovratnicima kuće svoje i na vratima svojim!

and you have written them on doorposts of your house and on your gates.

10 A kad te Jahve, Bog tvoj, dovede u zemlju za koju se zakleo tvojim ocima, Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu, da će je tebi dati - u velike i lijepe gradove kojih nisi zidao;

And it has been, when your God YHWH brings you into the land which He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to you great and good cities which you have not built,

11 u kuće pune svakog dobra kojih nisi punio; na iskopane čatrnje kojih nisi kopao; u vinograde i maslinike kojih nisi sadio - i sit se najedeš:

and houses full of all good things which you have not filled, and wells dug which you have not dug, vineyards and olive-yards which you have not planted, that you have eaten and been satisfied.

12 pazi da ne zaboraviš Jahvu koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske, iz kuće ropstva.

Take heed to yourself lest you forget YHWH who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.

13 Boj se Jahve, Boga svoga; njemu iskazuj štovanje; njegovim imenom polaži prisegu.

You fear your God YHWH, and you serve Him, and you swear by His Name.

14 Ne idite za drugim bogovima između bogova drugih naroda što su oko vas.

You do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] around you,

15 Jer je Jahve, Bog tvoj, što stoji u sredini tvojoj, ljubomoran Bog; gnjev bi Jahve, Boga tvoga, usplamtio protiv tebe i istrijebio te sa zemlje.

for your God YHWH [is] a zealous God in your midst—lest the anger of your God YHWH burns against you, and He has destroyed you from off the face of the ground.

16 Ne iskušavajte Jahvu, Boga svoga, kao što ste ga iskušavali kod Mase.

You do not try your God YHWH as you tried [Him] in Massah.

17 Točno vršite zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, upute njegove i zakone njegove koje je izdao.

You diligently keep the commands of your God YHWH, and His testimonies and His statutes which He has commanded you,

18 Čini što je pravo i dobro u očima Jahve da ti dobro bude i da se domogneš dobre zemlje za koju se Jahve zakleo tvojim ocima

and you have done that which is right and good in the eyes of YHWH, so that it is well with you, and you have gone in and possessed the good land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers,

19 da će iz nje protjerati sve tvoje neprijatelje ispred tebe; tako je obećao Jahve.

to drive away all your enemies from your presence, as YHWH has spoken.

20 A kad te sutra zapita tvoj sin: što su te upute, zakoni i uredbe što ih je Jahve, Bog naš, vama propisao -

When your son asks you hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments which our God YHWH has commanded you?

21 kaži svome sinu: 'Bili smo faraonovi robovi u Egiptu, ali nas je Jahve izveo iz Egipta jakom rukom.

Then you have said to your son, We have been servants of Pharaoh in Egypt, and YHWH brings us out of Egypt by a high hand;

22 Na naše je oči Jahve učinio velike i strašne znakove i čudesa protiv Egipta, protiv faraona i protiv svega doma njegova,

and YHWH gives signs and wonders, great and severe, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

23 a nas je odande izveo da nas dovede i dade nam zemlju koju je zakletvom obećao ocima našim.

and He has brought us out from there, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.

24 I naredio nam je Jahve da sve ove naredbe vršimo u strahopoštovanju prema Jahvi, Bogu svome, da bismo uvijek bili sretni i da živimo kao što je to danas.'

And YHWH commands us to do all these statutes, to fear our God YHWH, for good to ourselves [for] all the days, to keep us alive, as [at] this day;

25 Naša će, dakle, pravednost biti: držati i vršiti sve ove zapovijedi pred Jahvom, Bogom našim, kako nam je naredio.

and it is righteousness for us when we observe to do all this command before our God YHWH, as He has commanded us.”
