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 -
“When your God YHWH brings you into the land to where you are going in to possess it, and He has cast out many nations from your presence, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and mighty 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 your God YHWH has given them before you, then you have struck them—you utterly devote them—you do not make a covenant with them, nor do you favor them.
3 Ne sklapaj ženidbe s njima, ne udavaj svoje kćeri za njihova sina niti ženi svoga sina njihovom kćeri;
And you do not join in marriage with them; you do not give your daughter to his son, and you do 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 turns aside your son from after Me, and they have served other gods; and the anger of YHWH has burned against you and has destroyed you quickly.
5 Nego ovako učinite prema njima: porušite njihove žrtvenike, porazbijajte njihove stupove, njihove ašere počupajte a njihove kumire spalite.
But thus you do to them: you break down their altars, and you shatter their standing pillars, and you cut down their Asherim, and you burn their carved images with fire.
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 your God YHWH; your God YHWH has fixed on you, to be to Him for a peculiar people, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.
7 Nije vas Jahve odabrao i prihvatio zato što biste vi bili brojniji od svih naroda - vi ste zapravo najmanji -
YHWH has delighted in you and fixes on you, not because of your being more numerous than any of the peoples, for you [are] the least of all the peoples,
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 of YHWH’s loving you, and because of His keeping the oath which He has sworn to your fathers; YHWH has brought you out by a strong hand, and ransoms you from a house of servants, from the hand of Pharaoh 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.
And you have known that He, your God YHWH, [is] God, the faithful God keeping the covenant and the kindness with those loving Him and with those keeping His commands, for one thousand generations,
10 A onima koji ga mrze uzvraća izravno njima samima; uništava bez odgađanja onoga koji ga mrzi: uzvraća izravno njemu samomu.
and repaying to those hating Him to their face, to destroy them; He does not delay to him who is hating Him, He repays [it] to him to his face.
11 Stoga drži zapovijedi, zakone i uredbe koje ti danas nalažem da ih vršiš.
And you have kept the command, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I am commanding you today to do them.
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 has been, because you hear these judgments, and have kept and done them, that your God YHWH has kept the covenant and the kindness with you which He has sworn 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 has loved you, and blessed you, and multiplied you, and has blessed the fruit of your womb, and the fruit of your ground, your grain, and your new wine, and your oil, the increase of your oxen, and the wealth of your flock, on the ground which He has sworn 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.
Blessed are you above all the peoples; there is not a barren man or a barren woman in you—nor among your livestock;
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 YHWH has turned aside every sickness from you, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which you have known) does He put on you, and He has put them on all hating 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 have consumed all the peoples whom your God YHWH is giving to you; your eye has no pity on them, and you do not serve their gods, for it [is] a snare to you.
17 Možda ćeš u svome srcu reći: 'Oni su narodi brojniji od mene, kako ću ih onda protjerati?'
When you say in your heart, These nations [are] more numerous than I, how am I able to dispossess them?
18 Ne boj ih se! Sjeti se što je Jahve, Bog tvoj, učinio faraonu i svemu Egiptu!
You are not afraid of them; you surely remember that which your God YHWH has done to Pharaoh and to all of Egypt,
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 trials which your eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the strong hand, and the outstretched arm, with which your God YHWH has brought you out; so does your God YHWH do to all the peoples of whose presence you are afraid.
20 Povrh toga, među njih će Jahve, Bog tvoj, slati stršljene dok ne izginu koji bi preostali i sakrili se pred tobom.
And your God YHWH also sends the locust among them, until the destruction of those who are left, even those who are hidden from your presence;
21 Ne strepi, dakle, pred njima! TÓa Jahve, Bog tvoj, u sredini je tvojoj, Bog silan i strahovit.
you are not terrified by their presence, for your God YHWH [is] in your midst, a God great and fearful.
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 your God YHWH has cast out these nations from your presence little [by] little (you are not able to consume them quickly, lest the beast of the field multiplies against you),
23 Ali Jahve, Bog tvoj, tebi će ih predati i među njih unositi stravu dok ne budu uništeni.
and your God YHWH has given them before you, and confused them [with] a great destruction until their being destroyed;
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 has given their kings into your hand, and you have destroyed their name from under the heavens; no man stations himself in your presence until you have 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 burn the carved images of their gods with fire; you do not desire the silver and gold on them, nor have you taken [it] for yourself, lest you are snared by it, for it [is] an abomination [to] your God YHWH;
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 do not bring in an abomination to your house, or you have been devoted like it—you utterly detest it and you utterly abhor it; for it [is] devoted.”
