Deuteronomy 29

1 The following are the terms of the agreement that the Lord ordered Moses to make with the Israelites in the country of Moab This was in addition to the agreement he had made with them at Horeb.

To su riječi Saveza što ga propisa Jahve Mojsiju da ga sklopi s Izraelcima u zemlji moapskoj, povrh Saveza što ga je s njima sklopio na Horebu.

2 Moses called all the Israelites together and announced to them, You saw with your own eyes everything the Lord did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to his whole country.

Mojsije sazva sav Izrael pa im reče: “Vidjeli ste na rođene oči sve što je Jahve učinio u zemlji egipatskoj faraonu, svim službenicima njegovim i svoj zemlji njegovoj:

3 You saw with your own eyes the amazing tests, and those great signs and miracles.

velike kušnje što su ih vidjele tvoje oči, silne znakove i čudesa!

4 But up to now the Lord has not given you minds that understand, or eyes that see, or ears that hear, saying,

Ali vam ne dade Jahve do danas razuma da shvatite, očiju da vidite ni ušiju da čujete.

5 For forty years I led you through the desert, but your clothes and sandals didn't wear out.

Vodio sam vas pustinjom četrdeset godina; odjeća se na vama nije izderala niti su se sandale na vašim nogama raskidale.

6 You didn't have bread to eat, or wine or alcohol to drink in order that you would realize that I am the Lord your God.

Kruha niste jeli; vina ni drugoga opojnog pića niste pili, da biste znali da sam ja Jahve, Bog vaš.

7 When we arrived here, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan marched out to fight us in battle, but we defeated them.

Kad stigoste na novo mjesto, Sihon, kralj hešbonski, i Og, kralj bašanski, iziđoše pred nas u boj, ali smo ih potukli.

8 We took their land and gave it to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh to own.

Zauzeli smo njihovu zemlju te je predali u baštinu Rubenovcima, Gadovcima i polovini plemena Manašeova.

9 So make sure you keep and follow the terms of this agreement in order that you may be successful in everything you do.

Držite i vršite riječi ovog Saveza da uspijevate u svemu što poduzmete.

10 Every one of you is stand here today before the Lord your God: you tribal leaders, officials, and all the men of Israel,

Danas stojite svi pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim: vaši plemenski glavari, vaše starješine i vaši nadglednici, svi muževi Izraela,

11 your children and wives, and the foreigners in your camps who cut your firewood and carry your water.

djeca vaša, žene vaše i došljak koji je u tvome taboru - od onoga koji ti siječe drva do onoga koji ti nosi vodu -

12 You're here so you can enter into the agreement of the Lord your God, which he is making with you today, and accept his solemn promise,

da stupite u Savez s Jahvom, Bogom svojim, u Savez zakletvom potvrđen, što ga Jahve, Bog tvoj, danas s tobom sklapa

13 and so he can confirm you today as his people. He will be your God as he told you and as he promised your forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

da danas od tebe učini svoj narod i da ti on bude Bog, kako ti je rekao i kako se zakleo tvojim ocima: Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu.

14 It's not only with you that the Lord is making this agreement and solemn promise,

I ne sklapam danas ovaj Savez sa zakletvom samo s vama

15 those who are standing here with us today in the presence of the Lord our God, but also with those who are not here today.

nego i sa svakim koji danas stoji ovdje s nama pred Jahvom, Bogom našim, i sa svakim koji danas nije ovdje s nama.

16 You know very well what it was like when we lived in the land of Egypt and our experiences as we passed through the nations on the way here.

Sami znate kako smo boravili u zemlji egipatskoj i kako smo prošli posred naroda kroz koje ste morali proći.

17 You saw their disgusting religious practices and their idols of wood and stone, and silver and gold.

Vidjeli ste njihove rugobe, njihove kumire od drveta i kamena, srebra i zlata što ih imaju.

18 You need to make sure today that there's no man or woman, family or tribe of yours who wants to turn from the Lord our God and go and worship the gods of these nations. Make sure there is nothing like that among you that would produce such poison and bitterness.

Neka ne bude među vama čovjeka ni žene, roda ni plemena kojemu bi se srce danas odvratilo od Jahve, Boga našega, pa da ide iskazivati štovanje bogovima onih naroda. Neka ne bude među vama korijena koji rađa otrovom i pelinom.

19 For when someone like that hears the words of this solemn promise, they think they'll still receive a blessing, telling themselves, “I'll be safe, even though I'll go on doing whatever I feel like.” Such an attitude would destroy good and bad alike.

Neka se nitko, čuvši riječi ovog prokletstva, ne nada blagoslovu kazujući u svome srcu: 'Bit će mi dobro ako poživim i po prohtjevima srca svoga. Nek' povodanj utaži žeđ!'

20 The Lord would never want to pardon them. In fact, his passionate anger will burn against them, and every curse written in this book will fall on them. The Lord will erase their name from the earth,

Takvome neće Jahve nikad oprostiti, nego će se gnjev i ljubomornost Jahvina izliti na tog čovjeka, tako da će se sve prokletstvo zapisano u ovoj knjizi na nj oboriti te će Jahve izbrisati ime njegovo pod nebom.

21 and punish them as an example of them for all the Israelite tribes, in accordance with all the curses of the agreement written in this Book of the Law.

Prema svim prokletstvima ovog Saveza, zapisanima u knjizi ovoga Zakona, Jahve će ga odstraniti, na njegovu propast, od svih plemena izraelskih.

22 Later generations, your descendants and foreigners from far away, will see how the Lord has brought disaster on the country and devastated it.

Kasniji naraštaj, sinovi vaši poslije vas, i stranci koji dođu iz daleke zemlje, kad vide zla ove zemlje i bolesti što će ih Jahve pustiti na nju, reći će:

23 The whole country will be burning wasteland of sulfur and salt. Nothing is sown; it's totally unproductive; no plant grows there—just like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord destroyed in his furious anger.

'Sva je zemlja njegova samo sumpor i sol; niti se što sije niti što klija; nikakva travka na njoj ne raste; jednaka je srušenoj Sodomi i Gomori, Admi i Sebojimu, što ih Jahve sruši u svojoj ljutini i gnjevu.'

24 Everyone everywhere will ask, “Why did the Lord do this to the country? Why did he get so terribly angry?”

I svi će narodi pitati: 'Zašto učini Jahve ovako ovoj zemlji? Kakva je morala biti žestina toga silnoga gnjeva?'

25 The people will answer, “It's because they abandoned the agreement of the Lord, the God of their forefathers, which he made with them when he led them out of Egypt.

Onda će im se reći: 'Jer su ostavili Savez što ga je Jahve, Bog otaca njihovih, bio sklopio s njima kad ih je izveo iz zemlje egipatske;

26 They went off and worshiped other gods, bowing down to gods they'd never heard of—gods that the Lord had not given to them.

i jer su otišli da iskazuju štovanje drugim bogovima i njima se klanjali, bogovima kojih nisu poznavali i kojih im on nije odredio.

27 That's why the Lord was so angry with this land, and he rained down on it every curse written in this book.

Zato se Jahvin gnjev izlio na ovu zemlju i palo na nju sve prokletstvo zapisano u ovoj knjizi.

28 The Lord uprooted them from their country in his anger, rage, and fury, and he threw them out, leaving them in another land, where they are to this day.”

Jahve ih je iščupao iz njihove zemlje u ljutini, srdžbi i velikom gnjevu te ih bacio u drugu zemlju. Tako je i danas.'

29 The Lord our God has secrets that belong to him, but what has been revealed belong to us and to our descendants forever, so that we may follow everything in this law.

Što je sakriveno, pripada Jahvi, Bogu našemu, a objava nama i sinovima našim zauvijek da vršimo sve riječi ovoga Zakona.
