Deuteronomy 4
1 Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances which I teach you, to do them, that you may live and go in and possess the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, gives you.
Zdaj torej prisluhni, oh Izrael, zakonom in sodbam, ki vas jih učim, da jih izpolnjujete, da boste lahko živeli, vstopili in vzeli v last deželo, ki vam jo daje Gospod, Bog vaših očetov.
2 You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Ne boste dodajali besedi, ki sem vam jo zapovedal niti ne boste zmanjševali česa od nje, da bi lahko ohranjali zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki sem vam jih zapovedal.
3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal Peor; for the LORD your God has destroyed all the men who followed Baal Peor from among you.
Vaše oči so videle kaj je Gospod storil zaradi Báal Peórja. Zaradi vseh mož, ki so sledili Báal Peórju, jih je Gospod, tvoj Bog, uničil izmed vas.
4 But you who were faithful to the LORD your God are all alive today.
Toda vi, ki ste se trdno držali Gospoda, svojega Boga, ste danes živi, vsakdo izmed vas.
5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do so in the middle of the land where you go in to possess it.
Glejte, učil sem vas zakonov in sodb, celo kakor mi je Gospod, moj Bog, zapovedal, da naj bi storili v deželi, kamor greste, da jo vzamete v last.
6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who shall hear all these statutes and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”
Torej jih ohranjajte in izpolnjujte, kajti to je vaša modrost in vaše razumevanje v očeh narodov, ki bodo slišali vse te zakone in rekli: ›Zagotovo je ta véliki narod modro in razumevajoče ljudstvo.‹
7 For what great nation is there that has a god so near to them as the LORD our God is whenever we call on him?
Kajti kateri narod je tam tako velik, ki ima Boga tako blizu, kakor je Gospod, naš Bog, v vseh stvareh, za katere kličemo k njemu?
8 What great nation is there that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law which I set before you today?
In kateri narod je tam tako velik, ki ima zakone in sodbe tako pravične, kot je vsa ta postava, ki jo danes postavljam pred vas?
9 Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—
Samo pazi nase in marljivo varuj svojo dušo, da ne pozabiš stvari, ki so jih videle tvoje oči in da vse dni tvojega življenja ne odidejo od tvojega srca, temveč poučuj svoje sinove in svojih sinov sinove,
10 the day that you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, “Assemble the people to me, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.”
posebej [o] dnevu, ko si stal pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, na Horebu, ko mi je Gospod rekel: ›Zberi mi skupaj ljudstvo in pripravil jih bom slišati moje besede, da se me bodo lahko naučili bati vse dni, ki jih bodo živeli na zemlji in da bodo lahko učili svoje otroke.‹
11 You came near and stood under the mountain. The mountain burned with fire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.
In približali ste se ter stali pod goro in gora je gorela z ognjem do srede neba, s temo, oblaki in gosto temo.
12 The LORD spoke to you out of the middle of the fire: you heard the voice of words, but you saw no form; you only heard a voice.
Gospod vam je spregovoril iz srede ognja. Slišali ste glas besed, toda nobene podobnosti niste videli, samo glas ste slišali.
13 He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments. He wrote them on two stone tablets.
Naznanil vam je svojo zavezo, ki vam jo je zapovedal, da jo opravljate, torej deset zapovedi, in napisal jih je na dve kamniti plošči.
14 The LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it.
Gospod mi je ob tistem času zapovedal, da vas učim zakone in sodbe, da jih boste lahko izpolnjevali v deželi, kamor greste, da jo vzamete v last.
15 Be very careful, for you saw no kind of form on the day that the LORD spoke to you in Horeb out of the middle of the fire,
Zato torej dobro pazite nase, kajti nobene vrste podobnosti niste videli na dan, ko vam je Gospod govoril na Horebu iz srede ognja,
16 lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself a carved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
da se ne bi izpridili in si naredili rezane podobe, podobnost kakršnekoli postave, podobnost moškega ali ženske,
17 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky,
podobnost katerekoli živali, ki je na zemlji, podobnost katerekoli krilate perjadi, ki leti po zraku,
18 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth;
podobnost katerekoli stvari, ki se plazi po tleh, podobnost katerekoli ribe, ki je v vodah pod zemljo,
19 and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the army of the sky, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.
in da ne bi povzdignil svojih oči k nebu in ko zagledaš sonce, luno in zvezde, celó vso vojsko neba, da ne bi bil zapeljan, da jih obožuješ in jim služiš, ki jih je Gospod, tvoj Bog, razdelil vsem narodom pod celotnim nebom.
20 But the LORD has taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as it is today.
Toda Gospod vas je vzel in vas privedel naprej iz železne talilne peči, torej iz Egipta, da mu boste ljudstvo dediščine, kakor ste ta dan.
21 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance;
Nadalje je bil zaradi vas Gospod jezen nad menoj in prisegel, da naj ne bi šel preko Jordana in da naj ne bi vstopil v to dobro deželo, ki ti jo Gospod, tvoj Bog, daje v dediščino,
22 but I must die in this land. I must not go over the Jordan, but you shall go over and possess that good land.
temveč moram umreti v tej deželi, ne smem iti čez Jordan. Toda vi boste šli čez in tisto dobro deželo vzeli v last.
23 Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the LORD your God has forbidden you.
Pazite nase, da ne bi pozabili zaveze Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki jo je sklenil z vami in si naredili rezane podobe ali podobnost katerekoli stvari, ki ti jo je Gospod, tvoj Bog, prepovedal.
24 For the LORD your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je požirajoč ogenj, celó ljubosumen Bog.
25 When you father children and children’s children, and you have been long in the land, and then corrupt yourselves, and make a carved image in the form of anything, and do that which is evil in the LORD your God’s sight to provoke him to anger,
Ko boš zaplodil otroke in otrok otroke in boste dolgo ostali v deželi in se boste izpridili in naredili rezano podobo ali podobnost katerikoli stvari in boste počeli zlo v očeh Gospoda, svojega Boga, da ga dražite k jezi,
26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from off the land which you go over the Jordan to possess it. You will not prolong your days on it, but will utterly be destroyed.
pokličem nebo in zemljo, da ta dan pričujeta zoper vas, da boste kmalu popolnoma izginili iz dežele, v katero ste šli prek Jordana, da jo vzamete v last. Ne boste podaljšali svojih dni na njej, temveč boste popolnoma uničeni.
27 The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the LORD will lead you away.
Gospod vas bo razkropil med narode in malo vas bo ostalo po številu med pogani, kamor vas bo vodil Gospod.
28 There you will serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
Tam boste služili bogovom, delu človeških rok, lesu in kamnu, ki niti ne vidita niti ne slišita, ne jesta niti ne vonjata.
29 But from there you shall seek the LORD your God, and you will find him when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Toda če boš od tam iskal Gospoda, svojega Boga, ga boš našel, če ga iščeš z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo.
30 When you are in oppression, and all these things have come on you, in the latter days you shall return to the LORD your God and listen to his voice.
Ko si v stiski in vse te stvari pridejo nadte, torej v zadnjih dneh, če se obrneš h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu in boš poslušen njegovemu glasu
31 For the LORD your God is a merciful God. He will not fail you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them.
(kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je usmiljen Bog) te ne bo zapustil niti uničil niti pozabil zaveze tvojih očetov, ki jim jo je prisegel.
32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been anything as great as this thing is, or has been heard like it?
Kajti vprašaj sedaj o dneh, ki so minili, ki so bili pred teboj, od dneva, ko je Bog na zemlji ustvaril moža in vprašaj od ene strani neba do druge, ali je bila tam kakršna koli takšna stvar, kot je ta velika stvar, ali je bila slišati podobno?
33 Did a people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
Mar je kdajkoli ljudstvo slišalo glas Boga govoriti iz srede ognja, kakor si slišal ti, in je živelo?
34 Or has God tried to go and take a nation for himself from among another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand, by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
Mar je Bog poskušal iti in si vzeti narod iz srede drugega naroda, s preizkušnjami, znamenji, čudeži, vojno, mogočno roko, z iztegnjenim laktom in z velikimi strahotami, glede na vse, kar je Gospod, vaš Bog, storil za vas v Egiptu, pred vašimi očmi?
35 It was shown to you so that you might know that the LORD is God. There is no one else besides him.
Tebi je bilo pokazano, da bi lahko vedel, da Gospod, on je Bog. Tam ni nobenega drugega poleg njega.
36 Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you. On earth he made you to see his great fire; and you heard his words out of the middle of the fire.
Iz nebes ti je dal, da slišiš njegov glas, da bi te lahko poučil, in na zemlji ti je pokazal svoj velik ogenj in ti slišiš njegove besede iz srede ognja.
37 Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their offspring after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt;
Ker je vzljubil tvoje očete, zato je izbral tvoje seme za njimi in te privedel ven v njegovem pogledu, s svojo mogočno močjo iz Egipta,
38 to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is today.
da izpred tebe napodi narode, večje in mogočnejše kakor si ti, da te privede noter, da ti da njihovo deželo v dediščino, kakor je to ta dan.
39 Know therefore today, and take it to heart, that the LORD himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath. There is no one else.
Vedi torej danes in preudari to v svojem srcu, da Gospod, on je Bog, v nebesih zgoraj in na zemlji spodaj. Tam ni nobenega drugega.
40 You shall keep his statutes and his commandments which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which the LORD your God gives you for all time.
Ohranjal boš torej njegove zakone in njegove zapovedi, ki ti jih danes zapovedujem, da bo lahko šlo dobro s teboj in s tvojimi otroki za teboj in da lahko podaljšaš svoje dneve na zemlji, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, na veke.«
41 Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise,
Potem je Mojzes oddvojil tri mesta na tej strani Jordana proti sončnemu vzhodu,
42 that the man slayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unintentionally and didn’t hate him in time past, and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:
da bi ubijalec, ki bi nenamerno ubil svojega bližnjega in ga v preteklih časih ni sovražil, lahko pobegnil tja in da bežeč v eno izmed teh mest lahko ostane živ.
43 Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites.
Namreč Becer v divjini, na ravnini dežele Rubenovcev in Ramót v Gileádu od Gádovcev in Golán v Bašánu od Manásejcev.
44 This is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.
To je postava, ki jo je Mojzes postavil pred Izraelove otroke.
45 These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances which Moses spoke to the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt,
To so pričevanja, zakoni in sodbe, ki jih je Mojzes govoril Izraelovim otrokom, po tem, ko so izšli iz Egipta,
46 beyond the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel struck when they came out of Egypt.
na tej strani Jordana, v dolini nasproti Bet Peórja, v deželi amoréjskega kralja Sihóna, ki je prebival v Hešbónu, ki so ga Mojzes in Izraelovi otroci udarili, potem ko so izšli iz Egipta.
47 They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;
Vzeli so v last njegovo deželo in deželo bašánskega kralja Oga, dveh kraljev Amoréjcev, ki sta bila na tej strani Jordana, proti sončnemu vzhodu;
48 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, even to Mount Zion (also called Hermon),
od Aroêrja, ki je ob bregu reke Arnón, celo do gore Sion, ki je Hermon
49 and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.
in vso ravnino na tej strani Jordana proti vzhodu, celo do morja ravnine, pod izviri Pisge.
