Deuteronomy 9

1 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fortified up to heaven,

Èuj, Izrailju! ti danas prelaziš preko Jordana da uðeš i naslijediš narode veæe i jaèe od sebe, gradove velike i ograðene do neba;

2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard it said, Who can stand before the children of Anak!

Velik i visok narod, sinove Enakove, koje znaš i za koje si slušao: ko ce odoljeti sinovima Enakovijem?

3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he who goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said to thee.

Znaj dakle danas da je Gospod Bog tvoj, koji ide pred tobom, oganj koji spaljuje; on æe ih istrijebiti i on æe ih oboriti pred tobom, i izagnaæeš ih i istrijebiti brzo, kao što ti je kazao Gospod.

4 Speak not thou in thy heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.

Kad ih Gospod Bog tvoj otjera ispred tebe, nemoj da reèeš u srcu svom: za pravdu moju uvede me Gospod u ovu zemlju da je naslijedim; jer Gospod tjera one narode ispred tebe za nevaljalstvo njihovo!

5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD swore to thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Ne ideš za pravdu svoju ni za èistotu srca svojega da naslijediš tu zemlju; nego za nevaljalstvo tijeh naroda Gospod Bog tvoj tjera ih ispred tebe, i da održi rijeè za koju se zakleo ocima tvojim, Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu.

6 Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.

Znaj dakle da ti Gospod Bog tvoj ne daje te dobre zemlje za pravdu tvoju da je naslijediš, jer si tvrdovrat narod.

7 Remember, and forget not, how thou didst provoke the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart from the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.

Pamti i ne zaboravi kako si gnjevio Gospoda Boga svojega u pustinji; od onoga dana kad izidoste iz zemlje Misirske pa dokle doðoste na ovo mjesto, nepokorni bijaste Gospodu.

8 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.

I kod Horiva razgnjeviste Gospoda, i od gnjeva šæaše vas Gospod da istrijebi.

9 When I went up to the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither ate bread nor drank water:

Kad izidoh na goru da primim ploèe kamene, ploèe zavjeta, koji s vama uèini Gospod, tada stajah na gori èetrdeset dana i èetrdeset noæi hljeba ne jeduæi ni vode pijuæi.

10 And the LORD delivered to me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spoke with you in the mount from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

I dade mi Gospod dvije ploèe kamene, ispisane prstom Gospodnjim, na kojima bijahu rijeèi sve koje vam izgovori Gospod na gori isred ognja na dan zbora vašega.

11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

Poslije èetrdeset dana i èetrdeset noæi dade mi Gospod dvije ploèe kamene, ploèe zavjetne.

12 And the LORD said to me, Arise, go down quickly from here; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

I reèe mi Gospod: ustani, siði brže odavde; jer se pokvari narod tvoj koji si izveo iz Misira, siðoše brzo s puta koji im zapovjedih, i naèiniše sebi liven lik.

13 Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

Još mi reèe Gospod govoreæi: pogledah ovaj narod, i eto je narod tvrda vrata.

14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

Pusti me da ih istrijebim i ime njihovo zatrem pod nebom; a od tebe æu uèiniti narod jaèi i veæi nego što je ovaj.

15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

I ja se vratih i siðoh s gore, a gora ognjem goraše, i dvije ploèe zavjetne bijahu mi u ruku.

16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly from the way which the LORD had commanded you.

I pogledah, a to zgriješiste Gospodu Bogu svojemu salivši sebi tele, i brzo siðoste s puta koji vam bješe zapovjedio Gospod.

17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.

Tada uzeh one dvije ploèe i bacih ih iz ruku svojih, i razbih ih pred vama.

18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I neither ate bread, nor drank water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

Potom padoh i ležah pred Gospodom kao prije, èetrdeset dana i èetrdeset noæi, hljeba ne jeduæi ni vode pijuæi, radi svijeh grijeha vaših, kojima se ogriješiste uèinivši što je zlo pred Gospodom i razgnjevivši ga.

19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which the LORD was angry with you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened to me at that time also.

Jer se bojah gnjeva i jarosti, kojom se bješe Gospod razljutio na vas da vas istrijebi; i usliši me Gospod i tada.

20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

Bješe se Gospod i na Arona razgnjevio veoma da ga šæaše ubiti; ali se molih tada i za Arona.

21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust of it into the brook that descended from the mount.

I uzeh grijeh vaš koji uèiniste, tele, i sažegoh ga ognjem, i razbih ga i satrh ga u prah, i prosuh prah njegov u potok, koji teèe s one gore.

22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.

I u Taveri i u Masi i u Kivrot-Atavi gnjeviste Gospoda.

23 Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.

I kad vas posla Gospod iz Kadis-Varnije govoreæi: idite i uzmite tu zemlju koju sam vam dao, opet se suprotiste rijeèi Gospoda Boga svojega, i ne vjerovaste mu i ne poslušaste glasa njegova.

24 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.

Nepokorni bijaste Gospodu otkad vas poznah.

25 Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.

Zato padoh i ležah pred Gospodom èetrdeset dana i èetrdeset noæi, jer bješe rekao Gospod da æe vas potrti.

26 I prayed therefore to the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thy inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

I molih se Gospodu i rekoh: Gospode, Gospode! nemoj potrti naroda svojega i našljedstva svojega, koje si izbavio velièanstvom svojim, koje si izveo iz Misira krjepkom rukom.

27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:

Opomeni se sluga svojih Avrama, Isaka i Jakova, ne gledaj na tvrðu naroda ovoga, na nevaljalstvo njegovo i na grijehe njegove;

28 Lest the land from which thou hast brought us should say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

Da ne reku koji žive u zemlji odakle si nas izveo: nije ih mogao Gospod uvesti u zemlju koju im obeæa, ili mrzio je na njih, zato ih izvede da ih pobije u pustinji.

29 Yet they are thy people and thy inheritance, which thou hast brought out by thy mighty power and by thy outstretched arm.

Jer su tvoj narod i tvoje našljedstvo, koje si izveo silom svojom velikom i mišicom svojom podignutom.
