Deuteronomy 8

1 Take care to keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may have life and be increased and go in and take as a heritage the land which the Lord, by his oath to your fathers, undertook to give you.

Držite i tvorite sve zapovijesti koje vam ja zapovijedam danas, da biste živi bili i umnožili se, i da biste ušli u zemlju za koju se Gospod zakleo ocima vašim, i da biste je naslijedili.

2 And keep in mind the way by which the Lord your God has taken you through the waste land these forty years, so that he might make low your pride and put you to the test, to see what was in your heart and if you would keep his orders or not.

I opominji se svega puta kojim te je vodio Gospod Bog tvoj èetrdeset godina po pustinji, da bi te namuèio i iskušao, da se zna šta ti je u srcu, hoæeš li držati zapovijesti njegove ili neæeš.

3 And he made low your pride and let you be without food and gave you manna for your food, a thing new to you, which your fathers never saw; so that he might make it clear to you that bread is not man's only need, but his life is in every word which comes out of the mouth of the Lord.

I muèio te je, i glaðu te morio; ali te je opet hranio manom, za koju ti nijesi znao ni oci tvoji, da bi ti pokazao da èovjek ne živi o samom hljebu nego o svemu što izlazi iz usta Gospodnjih.

4 Through all these forty years your clothing did not get old or your feet become tired.

Odijelo tvoje ne ovetša na tebi niti noga tvoja oteèe za ovijeh èetrdeset godina;

5 Keep in mind this thought, that as a son is trained by his father, so you have been trained by the Lord your God.

Zato poznaj u srcu svom da te Gospod Bog tvoj gaji kao što èovjek gaji svoje dijete.

6 Then keep the orders of the Lord your God, fearing him and walking in his ways.

I drži zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega hodeæi putovima njegovijem i bojeæi se njega.

7 For the Lord your God is guiding you into a good land, a land of water-springs, of fountains, and deep streams flowing out from the valleys and the hills;

Jer Gospod Bog tvoj uvešæe te sada u dobru zemlju, u zemlju u kojoj ima dosta potoka i izvora i jezera, što izviru po dolinama i po brdima;

8 A land of grain and vines and fig-trees and fair fruits; a land of oil-giving olive-trees and honey;

U zemlju izobilnu pšenicom i jeèmom i vinovom lozom i smokvama i šipcima, zemlju izobilnu maslinom, od koje biva ulje, i medom;

9 Where there will be bread for you in full measure and you will be in need of nothing; a land where the very stones are iron and from whose hills you may get copper.

U zemlju, gdje neæeš sirotinjski jesti hljeba, gdje ti neæe ništa nedostajati; u zemlju, gdje je kamenje gvožðe i gdje æeš iz brda njezinijeh sjeæi mjed.

10 And you will have food enough and be full, praising the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.

Ješæeš i biæeš sit, pa blagosiljaj Gospoda Boga svojega za dobru zemlju koju ti da.

11 Then take care that you are not turned away from the Lord your God and from keeping his orders and decisions and laws which I give you this day:

I èuvaj se da ne zaboraviš Gospoda Boga svojega bacivši u nemar zapovijesti njegove i zakone njegove i uredbe njegove, koje ti ja zapovijedam danas.

12 And when you have taken food and are full, and have made fair houses for yourselves and are living in them;

I kad uzjedeš i nasitiš se, i dobre kuæe naèiniš i u njima staneš živjeti,

13 And when your herds and your flocks are increased, and your stores of silver and gold, and you have wealth of every sort;

I kad se goveda tvoja i ovce tvoje naplode, i kad ti se namnoži srebro i zlato, i što god imaš kad ti se namnoži,

14 Take care that your hearts are not lifted up in pride, giving no thought to the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house;

Nemoj da se ponese srce tvoje i zaboraviš Gospoda Boga svojega, koji te je izveo iz zemlje Misirske, iz kuæe ropske;

15 Who was your guide through that great and cruel waste, where there were poison-snakes and scorpions and a dry land without water; who made water come out of the hard rock for you;

Koji te je vodio preko one pustinje velike i strašne gdje žive zmije vatrene i skorpije, gdje je suša a nema vode; koji ti je izveo vodu iz tvrdoga kamena;

16 Who gave you manna for your food in the waste land, a food which your fathers had never seen; so that your pride might be broken and your hearts tested for your good in the end;

Koji te je hranio u pustinji manom, za koju ne znaše oci tvoji, da bi te namuèio i iskušao te, i najposlije da bi ti dobro uèinio.

17 Say not then, in your hearts, My power and the strength of my hands have got me this wealth.

Niti govori u srcu svojem: moja snaga, i sila moje ruke dobavila mi je ovo blago.

18 But keep in mind the Lord your God: for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth, so that he may give effect to the agreement which he made by his oath with your fathers, as at this day.

Nego se opominji Gospoda Boga svojega; jer ti on daje snagu da dobavljaš blago, da bi potvrdio zavjet svoj, za koji se zakleo ocima tvojim, kao što se vidi danas.

19 And it is certain that if at any time you are turned away from the Lord your God, and go after other gods, to be their servants and to give them worship, destruction will overtake you.

Ako li zaboraviš Gospoda Boga svojega, i poðeš za drugim bogovima i njima staneš služiti i klanjati se, svjedoèim vam danas da æete zacijelo propasti,

20 Like the nations which the Lord is cutting off before you, so you will be cut off; because you would not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.

Propašæete kao narodi koje Gospod potire ispred vas, jer ne poslušaste glasa Gospoda Boga svojega.
