Deuteronomy 31

1 Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.

Potom doðe Mojsije i kaza ove rijeèi svemu Izrailju,

2 He said to them, “I am one hundred twenty years old today. I can no more go out and come in. The LORD has said to me, ‘You shall not go over this Jordan.’

I reèe im: meni ima danas sto i dvadeset godina, ne mogu više odlaziti ni dolaziti; a i Gospod mi je rekao: neæeš prijeæi preko toga Jordana.

3 The LORD your God himself will go over before you. He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua will go over before you, as the LORD has spoken.

Gospod æe Bog tvoj iæi pred tobom, i istrijebiæe one narode ispred tebe, i ti æeš ih naslijediti; Isus æe iæi pred tobom, kao što je kazao Gospod.

4 The LORD will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, when he destroyed them.

I uèiniæe Gospod s njima kako je uèinio sa Sionom i Ogom carevima Amorejskim i sa zemljom njihovom, te ih je istrijebio.

5 The LORD will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.

Zato kad vam ih preda Gospod uèinite im sasvijem onako kako sam vam zapovjedio.

6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or scared of them, for the LORD your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.”

Budite slobodni i hrabri, i ne bojte se i ne plašite se od njih; jer Gospod Bog tvoj ide s tobom, neæe otstupiti od tebe, niti æe te ostaviti.

7 Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it.

Potom dozva Mojsije Isusa, i reèe mu pred svijem Izrailjem: budi slobodan i hrabar; jer æeš ti uæi s ovijem narodom u zemlju za koju se zakleo Gospod ocima njihovijem da æe im je dati, i ti æeš im je razdijeliti u našljedstvo.

8 The LORD himself is who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged.”

Jer Gospod koji ide pred tobom biæe s tobom, neæe otstupiti od tebe, niti æe te ostaviti, ne boj se i ne plaši se.

9 Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant, and to all the elders of Israel.

I Mojsije napisa ovaj zakon, i dade ga sveštenicima, sinovima Levijevim, koji nošahu kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega, i svijem starješinama Izrailjevijem.

10 Moses commanded them, saying, “At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of booths,

I zapovjedi im Mojsije govoreæi: svake sedme godine, u odreðeno vrijeme godine oprosne, na praznik sjenica,

11 when all Israel has come to appear before the LORD your God in the place which he will choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

Kad doðe sav Izrailj i stane pred Gospoda Boga svojega na mjestu koje izbere, èitaj ovaj zakon pred svijem Izrailjem da èuju,

12 Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and the foreigners who are within your gates, that they may hear, learn, fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law,

Sabravši narod, ljude i žene i djecu i došljake, koji budu u mjestima tvojim, da èuju i uèe i da se boje Gospoda Boga vašega, i drže i tvore sve rijeèi ovoga zakona;

13 and that their children, who have not known, may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as you live in the land where you go over the Jordan to possess it.”

I sinovi njihovi, koji još ne znaju, neka èuju i uèe bojati se Gospoda Boga vašega, dokle ste god živi na zemlji u koju idete preko Jordana da je naslijedite.

14 The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, your days approach that you must die. Call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him.” Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.

A Gospod reèe Mojsiju: evo, približi se vrijeme da umreš. Dozovi Isusa i stanite obojica u šatoru od sastanka, da mu dam zapovijesti. I otide Mojsije i Isus, i stadoše u šatoru od sastanka.

15 The LORD appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood over the Tent’s door.

I javi se Gospod u šatoru u stupu od oblaka, i stajaše stup od oblaka nad vratima od šatora.

16 The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers. This people will rise up and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land where they go to be among them, and will forsake me and break my covenant which I have made with them.

I reèe Gospod Mojsiju: evo, ti æeš poèinuti s ocima svojim; a narod ovaj ustavši èiniæe preljubu za tuðim bogovima one zemlje u koju ide, i ostaviæe me i pokvariæe zavjet moj, koji uèinih s njima.

17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Have not these evils come on us because our God is not among us?’

I onda æe se raspaliti moj gnjev na njih, i ostaviæu ih, i sakriæu lice svoje od njih; oni æe se proždrijeti, i snaæi æe ih zla mnoga i nevolje; i onda æe reæi: da me ne snaðoše ova zla zato što Bog moj nije posred mene?

18 I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they have done, in that they have turned to other gods.

A ja æu onda sasvijem sakriti lice svoje za sva zla koja uèiniše obrativši se k drugim bogovima.

19 “Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

Zato sad napišite sebi ovu pjesmu, i nauèi je sinove Izrailjeve; metni im je u usta da mi ta pjesma bude svjedok na sinove Izrailjeve.

20 For when I have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat, then they will turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.

Jer æu ga odvesti u zemlju za koju sam se zakleo ocima njegovijem, u kojoj teèe mlijeko i med; ondje æe jesti i nasitiæe se i ugojiæe se, pa æe se onda obratiti k drugim bogovima i njima æe služiti, a za mene neæe mariti, i pokvariæe zavjet moj.

21 It will happen, when many evils and troubles have come on them, that this song will testify before them as a witness; for it will not be forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants; for I know their ways and what they are doing today, before I have brought them into the land which I promised them.”

A kad ga snaðu zla mnoga i nevolje, onda æe ta pjesma svjedoèiti na njih; jer se neæe zaboraviti niti æe je nestati iz usta sjemena njihova. Jer znam misli njihove i što æe još danas èiniti, prije nego ih uvedem u zemlju za koju sam se zakleo.

22 So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.

I napisa Mojsije tu pjesmu onaj dan, i nauèi sinove Izrailjeve.

23 He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, “Be strong and courageous; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them. I will be with you.”

I Gospod dade zapovijesti Isusu sinu Navinu govoreæi: budi slobodan i hrabar, jer æeš ti uvesti sinove Izrailjeve u zemlju za koju sam im se zakleo, i ja æu biti s tobom.

24 When Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,

I kad napisa Mojsije rijeèi ovoga zakona u knjigu, sve do kraja,

25 Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant, saying,

Zapovjedi Mojsije Levitima, koji nošahu kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega, govoreæi:

26 “Take this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark of the LORD your God’s covenant, that it may be there for a witness against you.

Uzmite ovu knjigu zakona, i metnite je pokraj kovèega zavjeta Gospoda Boga svojega, da bude ondje svjedok na vas.

27 For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. Behold, while I am yet alive with you today, you have been rebellious against the LORD. How much more after my death?

Jer znam nepokornost tvoju i tvrdi vrat tvoj. Eto, dokle sam još živ s vama, do danas, bijaste nepokorni Gospodu; akamoli kad ja umrem?

28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them.

Skupite k meni sve starješine od plemena svojih i upravitelje svoje da im kažem da èuju ove rijeèi, i da im zasvjedoèim nebom i zemljom.

29 For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn away from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will happen to you in the latter days, because you will do that which is evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.”

Jer znam da æete se po smrti mojoj pokvariti, i zaæi s puta koji vam zapovjedih; i zato æe vas zadesiti ovo zlo najposlije, kad stanete èiniti što je zlo pred Gospodom gnjeveæi ga djelom ruku svojih.

30 Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished.

I izgovori Mojsije da èuje sav zbor Izrailjev rijeèi ove pjesme do kraja:
