< Deuteronomy 30 >

1 “I have now told you about the ways that Yahweh our God will bless you [if you obey him] and the ways that he will curse you [if you disobey him]. I am saying that you must choose which you want. But when [you choose not to obey his laws], some day you will be living in the countries to which he will scatter you, and you will remember [what I told you].
Kad te sve ove riječi, blagoslov i prokletstvo što ih danas preda te stavih, snađu i ti ih uzmeš k srcu među svim narodima među koje te Jahve, Bog tvoj, bude protjerao
2 Then, if you return to Yahweh our God and faithfully [IDM] obey all that I have today commanded you to do,
i obratiš se k Jahvi, Bogu svome, i poslušaš - i ti i tvoji sinovi - glas njegov iz svega srca svoga i iz sve duše svoje u svemu što sam ti danas naredio,
3 he will be merciful to you. He will bring you back from the nations to which he scattered you, and he will cause you to be prosperous again.
tada će Jahve, Bog tvoj, vratiti tvoje izgnanike; smilovat će se tebi i opet ćete sabrati između svih naroda među koje te bude rastjerao Jahve, Bog tvoj.
4 Even if you have been scattered to the most distant places on the earth, Yahweh our God will gather you from there and bring you back [to your land].
Ako bi se koji izgnanik tvoj nalazio i na kraju svijeta, i odande će te sabrati Jahve, Bog tvoj - odande će te uzeti.
5 He will enable you to possess again the land where your ancestors lived. And he will cause you to be more prosperous and more numerous than you are now.
Jahve, Bog tvoj, dovest će te u zemlju koju su posjedovali oci tvoji da je ti zaposjedneš; učinit će te sretnijim i brojnijim od očeva tvojih.
6 Yahweh our God will change [MET] your inner beings, with the result that you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do. And then you will continue to live in that land.
Jahve, Bog tvoj, obrezat će tvoje srce, srce tvoga potomstva, tako da ljubiš Jahvu, Boga svoga, iz svega srca svoga i iz sve duše svoje i da živiš.
7 Yahweh our God will cause your enemies and those who oppressed/persecuted you to experience all the disasters that I have told you about.
Jahve, Bog tvoj, svalit će sva ova prokletstva na neprijatelje tvoje, na mrzitelje tvoje koji su te progonili.
8 You will do what Yahweh wants you to do, as you did before, and you will obey all the commands that I have given to you today.
A ti ćeš ponovo slušati glas Jahvin i vršiti sve njegove zapovijedi koje ti danas dajem.
9 Yahweh our God will cause you to be very successful in all that you do. You will have many children [IDM], and a lot of cattle, and you will have abundant crops. He will again be happy to enable you to prosper, just like he was happy to enable your ancestors to prosper.
Jahve, Bog tvoj, obilno će te nagrađivati u svakom pothvatu ruku tvojih, u plodu utrobe tvoje, u plodu stoke tvoje i u urodu tvoga plodnog tla; jer Jahve će se opet radovati nad tvojim dobrom, kao što se radovao nad dobrom otaca tvojih,
10 [But he will do those things only] if you do what he has told you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations that I have written about [in this scroll], and if you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do.
kad poslušaš glas Jahve, Boga svoga, držeći njegove zapovijedi i njegove naredbe zapisane u knjizi ovoga Zakona, to jest kada se obratiš Jahvi, Bogu svome, svim srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom.
11 The commands that I am giving to you today are not very difficult for you [to obey], and they are not [difficult to know].
Ova zapovijed što ti je danas dajem nije za te preteška niti je od tebe predaleko.
12 They are not in heaven, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
Nije na nebesima da bi rekao: 'Tko će se za nas popeti na nebesa, skinuti nam je te nam je objaviti da je vršimo?'
13 And they are not on the other side of the sea, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
Nije ni preko mora da bi mogao reći: 'Tko će preko mora za nas poći, donijeti nam je te nam je objaviti da je vršimo?'
14 [You do not need to do that because] his commands are here with you. You know them [MTY] and you have (memorized them/put them in your minds). So you can [easily] obey them.
Jer, Riječ je posve blizu tebe, u tvojim ustima i u tvome srcu da je vršiš.
15 So listen! Today I am allowing you to choose between [doing what is] evil and [doing what is] good, between what will enable you to live [for a long time] and [what will cause you] to die [while you are still young].
Gledaj! Danas preda te stavljam: život i sreću, smrt i nesreću.
16 [I say again], if you obey the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, and if you love him and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations, you will prosper and become very numerous, and Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
Ako poslušaš zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, koje ti danas dajem - ako ih poslušaš ljubeći Jahvu, Boga svoga, hodeći njegovim putovima, vršeći njegove zapovijedi, njegove zakone i njegove uredbe, živjet ćeš i razmnožit će te Jahve, Bog tvoj, i blagoslovit će te u zemlji u koju ulaziš da je zaposjedneš.
17 But if you turn away [from Yahweh] and refuse to heed what he says, and if you allow yourselves to be led away to worship other gods,
Ali ako se srce tvoje odvrati i ne poslušaš, nego zastraniš i budeš se klanjao drugim bogovima i njima iskazivao štovanje,
18 I am warning you today that you will [soon] die. You will not live for a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to enter and possess.
ja vam danas izjavljujem da ćete zaista propasti; nećete dugo živjeti na zemlji u koju ćete, prešavši Jordan, ući da je zaposjednete.
19 I am requesting that [everyone in] heaven and the earth testify to you, that today I am allowing you to choose whether you [want to] live for a long time or to soon die, whether [you want Yahweh to] bless you or to curse you. So choose to live.
Uzimam danas za svjedoke protiv vas nebo i zemlju da pred vas stavljam: život i smrt, blagoslov i prokletstvo. Život, dakle, biraj,
20 [Choose to] love Yahweh our God, and to obey him [MTY], and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him. If you do that, you and your descendants will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh solemnly promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give to them.”
ljubeći Jahvu, Boga svoga, slušajući njegov glas, prianjajući uz njega, da živiš ti i tvoje potomstvo. TÓa on je život tvoj, tvoj dugi vijek, da bi mirno mogao boraviti na zemlji za koju se Jahve zakle ocima tvojim Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu da će im je dati.”
