Ponovljeni zakon 7
1 Kad te Jahve, Bog tvoj, uvede u zemlju u koju ideš da je zaposjedneš i kad ispred tebe otjera mnoge narode: Hetite, Girgašane, Amorejce, Kanaance, Perižane, Hivijce i Jebusejce - sedam naroda brojnijih i jačih od tebe -
And when the Lord your God shall bring you into the land, into which you go to possess it, and shall remove great nations from before you, the Chettite, and Gergesite, and Amorite, and Chananite, and Pherezite, and Evite, and Jebusite, seven nations [more] numerous and stronger than you,
2 te kad ih Jahve, Bog tvoj, preda tebi i ti ih poraziš, udari ih prokletstvom; nemoj sklapati s njima saveza niti im iskazuj milosti.
and the Lord your God shall deliver them into your hands, then you shall strike them: you shall utterly destroy them: you shall not make a covenant with them, neither shall you pity them:
3 Ne sklapaj ženidbe s njima, ne udavaj svoje kćeri za njihova sina niti ženi svoga sina njihovom kćeri;
neither shall you contract marriages with them: you shall not give your daughter to his son, and you shall not take his daughter to your son.
4 jer bi ona odvratila od mene sina tvoga; drugim bi bogovima on služio; Jahve bi se razgnjevio protiv vas i brzo bi te istrijebio.
For he will draw away your son from me, and he will serve other gods; and the Lord will be very angry with you, and will soon utterly destroy you.
5 Nego ovako učinite prema njima: porušite njihove žrtvenike, porazbijajte njihove stupove, njihove ašere počupajte a njihove kumire spalite.
But thus shall you do to them; you shall destroy their altars, and shall break down their pillars, and shall cut down their groves, and shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods.
6 TÓa ti si narod posvećen Jahvi, Bogu svome; tebe je Jahve, Bog tvoj, izabrao da među svim narodima koji su na zemlji budeš njegov predragi vlastiti narod.
For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; and the Lord your God chose you to be to him a peculiar people beyond all nations that [are] upon the face of the earth.
7 Nije vas Jahve odabrao i prihvatio zato što biste vi bili brojniji od svih naroda - vi ste zapravo najmanji -
It was not because you are more numerous than all [other] nations that the Lord preferred you, and the Lord made choice of you: for you are fewer in number than all [other] nations.
8 nego zato što vas Jahve ljubi i drži zakletvu kojom se zakleo vašim ocima. Stoga vas je Jahve izveo jakom rukom i oslobodio vas iz kuće ropstva, ispod vlasti faraona, kralja egipatskoga.
But because the Lord loved you, and as keeping the oath which he sware to your fathers, the Lord brought you out with a strong hand, and the Lord redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharao king of Egypt.
9 Zato znaj da je Jahve, Bog tvoj, pravi Bog, Bog vjeran, koji drži svoj Savez i milost svoju iskazuje do tisuću koljena onima koji ga ljube i drže njegove zapovijedi.
You shall know therefore, that the Lord your God, he [is] God, a faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy for them that love him, and for those that keep his commandments to a thousand generations,
10 A onima koji ga mrze uzvraća izravno njima samima; uništava bez odgađanja onoga koji ga mrzi: uzvraća izravno njemu samomu.
and who recompenses them that hate him to their face, to destroy them utterly; and will not be slack with them that hate him: he will recompense them to their face.
11 Stoga drži zapovijedi, zakone i uredbe koje ti danas nalažem da ih vršiš.
You shall keep therefore the commands, and the ordinances, and these judgements, which I command you this day to do.
12 A za nagradu - budeš li slušao ove naloge, držao ih te izvršavao - Jahve, Bog tvoj, držat će ti Savez svoj i milost za koje se zakleo tvojim ocima.
And it shall come to pass when you shall have heard these ordinances, and shall have kept and done them, that the Lord your God shall keep for you the covenant and the mercy, which he sware to your fathers.
13 Ljubit će te, blagoslivljati i razmnažati; blagoslivljat će plod utrobe tvoje i rod zemlje tvoje: žito tvoje, vino tvoje, ulje tvoje, mlad krava tvojih i prirast stoke tvoje u zemlji za koju se zakleo ocima tvojim da će je tebi dati.
And he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; and he will bless the off-spring of your body, and the fruit of your land, your corn, and your wine, and your oil, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep, on the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to you.
14 Bit ćeš blagoslovljen nad sve narode; neće u tebe biti ni neplodna ni neplodne, ni među tvojom čeljadi ni među stokom tvojom.
You shall be blessed beyond all nations; there shall not be amongst you an impotent or barren one, or amongst your cattle.
15 Jahve će od tebe maknuti svaku bolest; neće na te pustiti ni jedno od strašnih zala egipatskih za koja znaš nego će njima pritiskati one koji te mrze.
And the Lord your God shall remove from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you have seen, and all that you have known, will he lay upon you; but he will lay them upon all that hate you.
16 Uništavaj sve narode koje ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, bude predavao. Neka ih ne sažaljuje oko tvoje. Nemoj se klanjati njihovim kumirima, jer bi ti to bilo zamkom.
And you shall eat all the spoils of the nations which the Lord your God gives you; your eye shall not spare them, and you shall not serve their gods; for this is an offence to you.
17 Možda ćeš u svome srcu reći: 'Oni su narodi brojniji od mene, kako ću ih onda protjerati?'
But if you should say in your heart, This nation [is] greater than I, how shall I be able to destroy them utterly?
18 Ne boj ih se! Sjeti se što je Jahve, Bog tvoj, učinio faraonu i svemu Egiptu!
you shall not fear them; you shall surely remember all that the Lord your God did to Pharao and to all the Egyptians:
19 Pomisli na velike kušnje što si ih vidio na svoje oči; na one znakove i čudesa pa na jaku ruku i ispruženu mišicu kojima te Jahve, Bog tvoj, izveo. Tako će Jahve, Bog tvoj, učiniti sa svim narodima kojih se plašiš.
the great temptations which your eyes have seen, those signs and great wonders, the strong hand, and the high arm; how the Lord your God brought you forth: so the Lord your God will do to all the nations, whom you fear in their presence.
20 Povrh toga, među njih će Jahve, Bog tvoj, slati stršljene dok ne izginu koji bi preostali i sakrili se pred tobom.
And the Lord your God shall send against them the hornets, until they that are left and they that are hidden from you be utterly destroyed.
21 Ne strepi, dakle, pred njima! TÓa Jahve, Bog tvoj, u sredini je tvojoj, Bog silan i strahovit.
You shall not be wounded before them, because the Lord your God in the midst of you [is] a great and powerful God.
22 Malo će pomalo Jahve, Bog tvoj, ispred tebe uništiti one narode; i nećeš ih moći ujedanput sve istrijebiti da se zvijeri ne bi protiv tebe razmnožile.
And the Lord your God shall consume these nations before you by little and little: you shall not be able to consume them speedily, lest the land become desert, and the wild beasts of the field be multiplied against you.
23 Ali Jahve, Bog tvoj, tebi će ih predati i među njih unositi stravu dok ne budu uništeni.
And the Lord your God shall deliver them into your hands, and you shall destroy them with a great destruction, until you shall have utterly destroyed them.
24 I njihove će kraljeve predati u tvoje ruke da zatreš ime njihovo pod nebom. Nijedan se neće održati pred tobom dok ih ne uništiš.
And he shall deliver their kings into your hands, and you shall destroy their name from that place; none shall stand up in opposition before you, until you shall have utterly destroyed them.
25 Likove njihovih kumira spali! Ne hlepi za srebrom i zlatom što je na njima; ne uzimlji ga da ne budeš njime zaveden; jer bi to bilo gadno Jahvi, Bogu tvome.
You shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods: you shall not covet [their] silver, neither shall you take to yourself gold from them, lest you should offend thereby, because it is an abomination to the Lord your God.
26 Ne unosi gnusobe u svoju kuću da ne budeš udaren prokletstvom kao i ona; duboko je prezri i grozi se od nje jer je prokleta.
And you shall not bring an abomination into your house, so should you be an accursed thing like it; you shall utterly hate it, and altogether abominate it, because it is an accursed thing.
