< Deuteronomy 7 >

1 When the Lord your God takes you into the land where you are going, which is to be your heritage, and has sent out the nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you;
Kad te Gospod Bog tvoj uvede u zemlju u koju ideš da je naslijediš, i otjera ispred tebe narode mnoge, Heteje i Gergeseje i Amoreje i Hananeje i Ferezeje i Jeveje i Jevuseje, sedam naroda veæih i jaèih od tebe,
2 And when the Lord has given them up into your hands and you have overcome them, give them up to complete destruction: make no agreement with them, and have no mercy on them:
I preda ih Gospod Bog tvoj tebi, i ti ih razbiješ, potri ih, ne hvataj s njima vjere, niti se smiluj na njih;
3 Do not take wives or husbands from among them; do not give your daughters to their sons, or take their daughters for your sons.
Niti se prijatelji s njima; kæeri svoje ne daji za sina njihova, niti kæeri njihove uzimaj za sina svojega.
4 For through them your sons will be turned from me to the worship of other gods: and the Lord will be moved to wrath against you and send destruction on you quickly.
Jer bi otpadila sina tvojega od mene, i služio bi bogovima drugim, te bi se razgnjevio Gospod na vas i potro vas brzo.
5 But this is what you are to do to them: their altars are to be pulled down and their pillars broken, and their holy trees cut down and their images burned with fire.
Nego ovo im uèinite: oltare njihove raskopajte, i likove njihove polomite, lugove njihove isijecite, i rezane bogove njihove ognjem spalite.
6 For you are a holy people to the Lord your God: marked out by the Lord your God to be his special people out of all the nations on the face of the earth.
Jer si ti narod svet Gospodu Bogu svojemu, tebe je izabrao Gospod Bog tvoj da mu budeš narod osobit mimo sve narode na zemlji.
7 The Lord did not give you his love or take you for himself because you were more in number than any other people; for you were the smallest of the nations:
Ne zato što bi vas bilo više nego drugih naroda prihvati vas Gospod i izabra vas; jer vas bijaše manje nego ikojega drugoga naroda;
8 But because of his love for you, and in order to keep his oath to your fathers, the Lord took you out with the strength of his hand, making you free from the prison-house and from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.
Nego što vas Gospod miluje i što drži zakletvu kojom se zakleo ocima vašim, zato vas je Gospod izveo rukom krjepkom i izbavio vas iz kuæe ropske, iz ruke Faraona cara Misirskoga.
9 Be certain, then, that the Lord your God is God; whose faith and mercy are unchanging, who keeps his word through a thousand generations to those who have love for him and keep his laws;
I tako znaj da je Gospod Bog tvoj Bog, Bog vjeran, koji drži zavjet svoj i milost svoju do tisuæu koljena onima koji ga ljube i drže zapovijesti njegove,
10 Rewarding his haters to their face with destruction; he will have no mercy on his hater, but will give him open punishment.
I plaæa onima koji mrze na nj, svakome istrebljujuæi ga, i ne odgaða onome koji mrzi na nj, plaæa svakome.
11 So keep the orders and the laws and the decisions which I give you today and do them.
Zato drži zapovjesti i uredbe i zakone, koje ti danas ja zapovijedam, da ih tvoriš.
12 And it will be, that if you give attention to these decisions and keep and do them, then the Lord will keep his agreement with you and his mercy, as he said in his oath to your fathers.
I ako ove zakone uzaslušate i uzdržite i ustvorite, i Gospod æe Bog tvoj držati tebi zavjet i milost, za koju se zakleo ocima tvojim;
13 And he will give you his love, blessing you and increasing you: he will send his blessing on the offspring of your body and the fruit of your land, your grain and your wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock, in the land which by his oath to your fathers he undertook to give you.
I milovaæe te i blagosloviæe te i umnožiæe te; blagosloviæe plod utrobe tvoje i plod zemlje tvoje, žito tvoje i vino tvoje i ulje tvoje, plod goveda tvojih i stada ovaca tvojih u zemlji za koju se zakleo ocima tvojim da æe ti je dati.
14 You will have greater blessings than any other people: no male or female among you or among your cattle will be without offspring.
Biæeš blagosloven mimo sve narode: neæe biti u tebe ni muškoga ni ženskoga neplodna, ni meðu stokom tvojom.
15 And the Lord will take away from you all disease, and will not put on you any of the evil diseases of Egypt which you have seen, but will put them on your haters.
I ukloniæe od tebe Gospod svaku bolest, i od ljutih zala Misirskih koja znaš neæe nijednoga pustiti na tebe, nego æe ih pustiti na one sve koji mrze na te.
16 And you are to send destruction on all the peoples which the Lord your God gives into your hands; have no pity on them, and do not give worship to their gods; for that will be a cause of sin to you.
I istrijebi sve narode koje ti Gospod Bog tvoj preda, neka ih ne požali oko tvoje, i nemoj služiti bogovima njihovijem, jer bi ti to bilo zamka.
17 If you say in your hearts, These nations are greater in number than we are: how are we to take their land from them?
Ako bi rekao u srcu svom: veæi su ovi narodi od mene, kako ih mogu izagnati?
18 Have no fear of them, but keep well in mind what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt;
Ne boj ih se; pamti dobro što je uèinio Gospod Bog tvoj s Faraonom i sa svijem Misircima,
19 The great punishments which your eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders and the strong hand and the stretched-out arm, by which the Lord your God took you out: so will the Lord your God do to all the peoples who are the cause of your fears.
Velika kušanja, koja vidješe oèi tvoje, i znake i èudesa i ruku krjepku i mišicu podignutu, kojom te izvede Gospod Bog tvoj; onako æe uèiniti Gospod Bog tvoj sa svijem narodima od kojih bi se uplašio.
20 And the Lord will send a hornet among them, till all the rest who have kept themselves safe from you in secret places have been cut off.
I stršljene æe poslati Gospod Bog tvoj na njih dokle ne izginu koji bi ostali i sakrili se od tebe.
21 Have no fear of them: for the Lord your God is with you, a great God greatly to be feared.
Ne plaši se od njih, jer je Gospod Bog tvoj usred tebe, Bog veliki i strašni.
22 The Lord your God will send out the nations before you little by little; they are not to be rooted out quickly, for fear that the beasts of the field may be increased overmuch against you.
Gospod æe Bog tvoj malo pomalo potrti te narode ispred tebe; neæeš ih moæi odjedanput istrijebiti, da se ne bi umnožilo na tebe zvijerje poljsko.
23 But the Lord your God will give them up into your hands, overpowering them till their destruction is complete.
Ali æe ih predati Gospod Bog tvoj tebi, i zatiraæe ih zatiranjem velikim dokle se ne zatru.
24 He will give their kings into your hands, and you will put their names out of existence under heaven; there is not one of them who will not give way before you, till their destruction is complete.
I predaæe careve njihove u tvoje ruke da zatreš ime njihovo pod nebom, neæe se nijedan održati pred tobom, dokle ih ne potreš.
25 The images of their gods are to be burned with fire: have no desire for the gold and silver on them, and do not take it for yourselves, for it will be a danger to you: it is a thing disgusting to the Lord your God:
Rezane bogove njihove spali ognjem, nemoj da se polakomiš na srebro ili zlato što je na njima i da ga uzmeš, da ti ne bude zamka, jer je gadno pred Gospodom Bogom tvojim.
26 And you may not take a disgusting thing into your house, and so become cursed with its curse: but keep yourselves from it, turning from it with fear and hate, for it is a cursed thing.
I nemoj da uneseš gada u dom svoj, da ne budeš proklet kao i on, nego se gadi na nj i grozi se od njega, jer je prokleto.
