Deuteronomy 9
1 “You people of Israel, listen to me! You will soon [HYP] cross the Jordan [River]. In the land that you will enter, there are large cities that have very high walls [around them] that [seem to] [HYP] extend up to the sky. There are people-groups in that land that are more numerous and more powerful than you are.
Чуј, Израиљу! Ти данас прелазиш преко Јордана да уђеш и наследиш народе веће и јаче од себе, градове велике и ограђене до неба.
2 Those people are very tall and strong. [Some of them] are giants who are descendants of Anak. You know about them, and you have heard people say that no one [RHQ] can defeat the descendants of Anak.
Велик и висок народ, синове Енакове, које знаш и за које си слушао:
3 But I want you to know that Yahweh our God will go ahead of you. He will be like a raging/roaring fire. While you advance, he will defeat and destroy them. As a result, you will quickly be able to expel some of them and kill the others, which is what Yahweh promised that you would do.
Знај дакле данас да је Господ Бог твој, који иде пред тобом, огањ који спаљује; Он ће их истребити и Он ће их оборити пред тобом, и изгнаћеш их и истребити брзо, као што ти је казао Господ.
4 “After Yahweh our God has expelled them for you, do not say to yourselves, ‘It is because we are righteous that Yahweh has enabled us to capture this land.’ The truth is that it is because the people in that land are wicked that Yahweh will expel them as you advance.
Кад их Господ Бог твој отера испред тебе, немој да кажеш у срцу свом: За правду моју уведе ме Господ у ову земљу да је наследим; јер Господ тера оне народе испред тебе за неваљалство њихово!
5 [I say again that] it is not because you are righteous or because you do things that are righteous that you will enter and capture that land. It is because those people-groups are very wicked that Yahweh our God will expel them as you advance, and because he intends to do what he vowed to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would do.
Не идеш за правду своју ни за чистоту срца свог да наследиш ту земљу; него за неваљалство тих народа Господ Бог твој отера их испред тебе, и да одржи реч за коју се заклео оцима твојим, Авраму, Исаку и Јакову.
6 I want you to know that it is not because you are righteous that Yahweh our God is giving you this good/fertile land. I say that because [you are not righteous]; you are a very stubborn [IDM] people.”
Знај, дакле, да ти Господ Бог твој не даје те добре земље за правду твоју да је наследиш, јер си тврдоврат народ.
7 “Never forget what your ancestors did in the desert that caused Yahweh our God to become angry. From the day that we left Egypt until the day that we arrived here, you and your ancestors have continually rebelled against him.
Памти и не заборави како си гневио Господа Бога свог у пустињи; од оног дана кад изиђосте из земље мисирске па докле дођосте на ово место, непокорни бејасте Господу.
8 Even at Sinai [Mountain] your ancestors caused Yahweh to become angry. Because he was very angry, he was ready to get rid of [all of] them.
И код Хорива разгневисте Господа, и од гнева хтеде вас Господ да истреби.
9 When I climbed the mountain to receive from him the stone tablets on which he had written the Ten Commandments that he was giving to them, I stayed there 40 days and nights, and [during that time] I did not eat or drink anything.
Кад изиђох на гору да примим плоче камене, плоче завета, који с вама учини Господ, тада стајах на гори четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи хлеба не једући ни воде пијући.
10 Yahweh gave me the two stone tablets on which he had written [the commandments] with his own fingers. They were the words/commandments that he had spoken to your ancestors from the fire on that mountain, when they were gathered together [at the bottom of the mountain].
И даде ми Господ две плоче камене, исписане прстом Господњим, на којима беху речи све које вам изговори Господ на гори исред огња на дан збора вашег.
11 “At the end of those 40 days and nights, Yahweh gave me those two stone tablets on which he had written those commandments.
После четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи даде ми Господ две плоче камене, плоче заветне.
12 But then he said to me, ‘Go down the mountain immediately, because [the people whom you are leading], the people whom you led out of Egypt, have committed a terrible sin! They have very quickly done what I commanded them not to do. They have made for themselves a metal statue [of a calf to worship].’
И рече ми Господ: Устани, сиђи брже одавде; јер се поквари народ твој који си извео из Мисира, сиђоше брзо с пута који им заповедих, и начинише себи ливен лик.
13 Then Yahweh said to me, ‘I have been watching these people, and I see that they are very stubborn.
Још ми рече Господ говорећи: Погледах овај народ, и ето је народ тврдог врата.
14 So do not try to stop me. I am going to destroy all of them, with the result that no one anywhere will remember (their names [MTY]/that they ever existed). Then I will enable you to become [the ancestor of] a nation that will be more numerous and more powerful than they are.’
Пусти ме да их истребим и име њихово затрем под небом; а од тебе ћу учинити народ јачи и већи него што је овај.
15 So I turned and went down the mountain, carrying in my hands the two stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments were [written]. Fire was burning all over the mountain.
И ја се вратих и сиђох с горе, а гора огњем гораше, и две плоче заветне беху ми у рукама.
16 I looked, and I was shocked to see that your ancestors had committed a [great] sin against Yahweh. They very quickly had begun to do what Yahweh our God had commanded them not to do. They had [requested Aaron to] make for them [a metal image of] a calf [to worship].
И погледах, а то згрешисте Господу Богу свом саливши себи теле, и брзо сиђосте с пута који вам беше заповедио Господ.
17 So while they were watching, I lifted up those two stone tablets and threw them [on the ground], and they broke into pieces.
Тада узех оне две плоче и бацих их из руку својих, и разбих их пред вама.
18 Then I (prostrated myself/lay) on the ground in Yahweh’s presence as I had done before, and I did not eat or drink anything for 40 days and nights. I did that because your ancestors had sinned against Yahweh and caused him to become very angry.
Потом падох и лежах пред Господом као пре, четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи, хлеба не једући ни воде пијући, ради свих греха ваших, којима се огрешисте учинивши што је зло пред Господом и разгневивши Га.
19 I was afraid/worried that because Yahweh was very angry with them, he would get rid of all of them. [But again I prayed that he would not do that], and again he listened to me [and answered my prayer].
Јер се бојах гнева и јарости, којом се беше Господ разљутио на вас да вас истреби; и услиши ме Господ и тада.
20 Yahweh was also very angry with Aaron [for making that golden calf] and was ready to kill Aaron. But at the same time I prayed for Aaron also, [and Yahweh answered my prayer].
Беше се Господ и на Арона разгневио веома да га хтеде убити; али се молих тада и за Арона.
21 Your ancestors had sinned by [requesting Aaron to] make [a metal statue of] a calf. So I took that statue and [I melted it] in a fire and crushed it and ground it into very tiny pieces [HYP]. Then I threw those tiny pieces into the stream that flowed down the mountain.
И узех грех ваш који учинисте, теле, и сажегох га огњем, и разбих га и сатрх га у прах, и просух прах његов у поток, који тече с оне горе.
22 Your ancestors also caused Yahweh to become very angry [by what they did] at [places which they named] Taberah, Massah, and Kibroth-Hattaavah.
И у Тавери и у Маси и у Киврот-Атави гневисте Господа.
23 And when we were at Kadesh-Barnea, Yahweh said to your ancestors, ‘Go up and capture the land that I am about to give to you!’ But they rebelled against him. They did not trust him, and they did not obey what he told [MTY] them to do.
И кад вас посла Господ у Кадис-Варнију говорећи: Идите и узмите ту земљу коју сам вам дао, опет се супротисте речи Господа Бога свог, и не веровасте Му и не послушасте глас Његов.
24 Your ancestors rebelled against Yahweh from the first day that I knew them, [in Egypt].
Непокорни бејасте Господу од кад вас познах.
25 So, [as I said], I lay on the ground in Yahweh’s presence for 40 days and nights, because Yahweh had said that he would get rid of your ancestors.
Зато падох и лежах пред Господом четрдесет дана и четрдесет ноћи, јер беше рекао Господ да ће вас потрти.
26 And I prayed to Yahweh, saying, ‘Lord God, these people belong to you; do not destroy them. They are people whom you rescued and brought out of Egypt by your very great power. [DOU, MTY]
И молих се Господу и рекох: Господе, Господе! Немој потрти народ свој и наследство своје, које си избавио величанством својим, које си извео из Мисира крепком руком.
27 Do not forget [what you promised to] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Please ignore these stubborn and wicked people and the sin that they have committed.
Опомени се слуга својих Аврама, Исака и Јакова, не гледај на тврђу народа овог, на неваљалство његово и на грехе његове;
28 If you do not do that, [and if you get rid of them], the people of Egypt will [hear about it and] say that you were not able to bring them into the land that you promised to give to them. They will say that you took them into the desert only to kill them there because you hated them.
Да не кажу који живе у земљи одакле си нас извео: Није их могао Господ увести у земљу коју им обећа, или мрзео је на њих, зато их изведе да их побије у пустињи.
29 [Do not forget that] they are your people. [You chose them to] belong to you. You brought them out [from Egypt] by your very great power [DOU, MTY].’”
Јер су Твој народ и Твоје наследство, које си извео силом својом великом и мишицом својом подигнутом.
