5 Мојсијева 1
1 Ово су речи које говори Мојсије свему Израиљу с ону страну Јордана, у пустињи, у пољу према Црвеном мору, између Фарана и Тофола и Ловона и Асирота и Дизава,
In this book is written what Moses/I said to the Israeli people. He/I told them these things when they/we were in the desert, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. They/We had set up our tents near [a place named] Suph, between Paran [town on the one side of the river] and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab [towns on the other side of the river].
2 Једанаест дана хода од Хорива преко горе Сира до Кадис-Варније.
To walk from Sinai [Mountain] to the Kadesh-Barnea [oasis], people usually travel for only eleven days, going by way of the hilly area named Edom.
3 А беше четрдесете године први дан једанаестог месеца, кад Мојсије каза синовима Израиљевим све што му беше заповедио Господ да им каже,
Forty years after (the Israelis/we) left Egypt, in the middle of January, Moses/I told the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me to tell them.
4 Пошто уби Сиона, цара аморејског који живљаше у Есевону, и Ога цара васанског који живљаше у Астароту и у Едрајину.
This was after they/we had defeated Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king of the Bashan [region] who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei [towns].
5 С оне стране Јордана у земљи моавској поче Мојсије казивати овај закон говорећи:
Moses/I told them these things while the people were in the Moab region, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. He/I (explained to them/enabled them to understand) God’s laws. This is what he/I said to them:
6 Господ Бог наш рече нам на Хориву говорећи: Доста сте били на овој гори.
“Yahweh our God said to us when we were at Sinai [Mountain], ‘You have stayed for a very long time at [the bottom of] this mountain.
7 Обрните се и подигните се и идите ка гори аморејској и у сву околину њену, у равнице и у брда и у долине, и на југ и на брегове морске, у земљу хананску и на Ливан и до реке велике, реке Ефрата.
So now continue traveling. Go to the hilly area where the Amor people-group lives and to the nearby areas—to the Jordan [River] Valley, to the hilly region, to the western (foothills/hills at the bottom of the mountains), to the desert area to the south, to the [Mediterranean] Seacoast, to all of Canaan land, to the Lebanon [Mountains], and [northeast] to the great Euphrates River.
8 Ето, дао сам вам земљу, уђите у њу, и узмите земљу, за коју се заклео Господ оцима вашим, Авраму, Исаку и Јакову, да ће им је дати и семену њиховом након њих.
Note that I will give that land to you. I, Yahweh, promised to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that I would give it to them and to their descendants. So now go and occupy it.’”
9 И рекох вам онда говорећи: Не могу вас носити сам.
Moses/I also said to the people, “When [we were still at Sinai Mountain], I told your ancestors ‘It is a very big burden/responsibility for me to govern all of you. So I cannot do it by myself.
10 Господ Бог ваш умножио вас је, и ето вас данас има много као звезда небеских.
Yahweh our God has caused us Israelis to now become as numerous as the stars in the sky.
11 Господ Бог отаца ваших да вас умножи још хиљаду пута више, и да вас благослови као што вам је казао.
And I hope/desire that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], will cause us to become 1,000 times as numerous as we are now and that he will bless us just like he promised to do.
12 Како бих ја сам носио муке ваше, бремена ваша и распре ваше?
But I certainly cannot [RHQ] (solve/deal with) all of your complaints/problems.
13 Дајте из племена својих људе мудре и веште и познате да вам их поставим за старешине.
So choose some men from your tribes who are wise and who have good sense and who are respected. Then I will appoint them to be your leaders.’
14 Тада ми одговористе и рекосте: Добро је да се учини шта си казао.
Your ancestors replied, ‘What you have suggested is good for us to do.’
15 Тада узевши старешине од племена ваших, људе мудре и познате, поставих вам их за старешине, за хиљаднике и стотинаре и педесетаре и десетаре и управитеље по племенима вашим.
So I took the wise and respected men [that your ancestors chose] from your tribes, and I appointed them to be your leaders. I appointed some to (rule/have authority) over 1,000 people, some to have authority over 100 people, some to have authority over 50 people, and some to have authority over ten people. I also appointed other officers from throughout your tribes.
16 И заповедих онда судијама вашим говорећи: Саслушавајте распре међу браћом својом и судите право између човека и брата његовог и између дошљака који је с њим.
I instructed/told your leaders, ‘Listen to the disputes that occur among your people. Judge each dispute, including disputes between close relatives and quarrels between your people and people from other countries who live among you.
17 Не гледајте ко је ко на суду, саслушајте и малог и великог, не бојте се никога, јер је суд Божији, а ствар која би вам била тешка изнесите преда ме да је чујем.
You must (be impartial/not favor one person more than another); you must treat poor people and important people equally. You must not worry about what anyone will think [about how you decide matters], because you will decide matters as God [wants you to]. If any quarrel/dispute is very difficult and you are unable to decide it, bring it to me, and I will decide.’
18 И заповедих вам онда све што ћете чинити.
At that time I also told you other things that you should do.”
19 Потом отишавши од Хорива пређосмо сву ону пустињу велику и страшну, коју видесте, идући ка гори аморејској, као што нам заповеди Господ Бог наш, и дођосмо до Кадис-Варније.
“Then, just like Yahweh our God commanded us, we left Sinai [Mountain] and went through that huge desert that was very (dangerous/difficult to travel through), on the road to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. We arrived at Kadesh-Barnea.
20 Тада вам рекох: Дођосте до горе аморејске, коју нам даје Господ Бог наш.
I said to your ancestors, ‘We have now come to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. This is part of the area that Yahweh our God, the one whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to us.
21 Гле, дао ти је Господ Бог твој ту земљу, иди и узми је, као што ти је рекао Господ Бог отаца твојих; не бој се и не плаши се.
Note that Yahweh our God is giving this land to us. So go and occupy it as he commanded. Do not be (at all/even a little bit) afraid.’
22 А ви сви дођосте к мени и рекосте: Да пошаљемо људе пред собом да нам уходе земљу, и да нам јаве за пут којим ћемо ићи и за градове у које ћемо доћи,
But all of your ancestors came to me and said, ‘Before we go, we should [first] send some men there to explore the land, in order that they can return and tell us which will be the best road to go there and what kind of towns are there.’
23 И то ми би по вољи, и узех између вас дванаест људи, из сваког племена по једног;
I thought that it would be good to do that, so I chose twelve men, one man from each tribe.
24 И они се подигоше и изишавши на гору дођоше до потока Есхола, и уходише земљу;
They went up into the hilly area as far as Eshcol Valley, and they explored all that area.
25 И набраше рода оне земље и донесоше нам, и јавише нам говорећи: Добра је земља, коју нам даје Господ Бог наш.
They picked some of the fruit that they found there and brought it to us. They reported that the land that Yahweh our God was giving to us is very good/fertile.”
26 Али не хтесте ићи него се супротисте заповести Господа Бога свог.
“But your ancestors refused to go [and conquer that land]. They rebelled against what Yahweh our God had commanded them to do, and they would not go into that land.
27 И викасте у шаторима својим говорећи: Мрзи на нас Господ, зато нас изведе из земље мисирске, да нас да у руке Аморејцима и да нас потре.
Your ancestors [stayed] in their tents and complained saying ‘Yahweh hates us. So he has brought us here from Egypt just to allow the Amor people-group to destroy us.
28 Куда да идемо? Браћа наша уплашише срце наше говорећи: Народ је већи и виши од нас, градови су велики и ограђени до неба, па и синове Енакове видесмо овде.
(Why should we go there?/We do not want to go there.) [RHQ] The men whom we sent there have caused us to become very discouraged/afraid. They have told us that the people there are much stronger and taller than we are and that there are extremely high [HYP] walls around their towns. Also they reported that they saw [giants there that are] descendants of Anak.’
29 А ја вам рекох: Не плашите се и не бојте их се.
Then I said to your ancestors, ‘Do not be afraid (at all/even a little bit) [DOU] of those people!
30 Господ Бог ваш, који иде пред вама, Он ће се бити за вас онако како вам је учинио у Мисиру на ваше очи,
Yahweh our God will go ahead of you, and he will fight for you, just like you saw him do for you in Egypt
31 И у пустињи, где си видео како те је носио Господ Бог твој, као што човек носи сина свог, целим путем којим сте ишли докле дођосте до овог места.
and in the desert. You saw how he brought you safely here, like a man would carry his son. [SIM]’
32 Али зато опет не веровасте Господу Богу свом,
[I reminded them that] he always went ahead of them while they traveled [in the desert]. He directed them by [a pillar of] fire during the night and a [pillar of] cloud during the day. He showed them places to set up their tents. But in spite of what I said, your ancestors would not trust Yahweh our God.
33 Који иђаше пред вама путем тражећи вам место где бисте стали, иђаше ноћу у огњу да вам светли путем којим бисте ишли, а дању у облаку.
34 И чу Господ глас речи ваших, и разгневи се и закле се говорећи:
Yahweh heard what they said, and he became angry. He solemnly declared,
35 Ниједан од овог рода злог неће видети ове добре земље, за коју се заклех да ћу дати вашим оцима,
‘Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, will enter the land. He has obeyed me completely. So I will give to him and to his descendants [some of] the land that he explored. He is the only one of all you people who will enter that land. None of these evil people will ever see that good land which I solemnly promised to give to your ancestors.’
36 Осим Халева, сина Јефонијиног; он ће је видети, и њему ћу дати земљу по којој је ишао, и синовима његовим, јер се сасвим држао Господа.
37 Па и на мене се разгневи Господ с вас; и рече: Ни ти нећеш ући онамо.
But because of [what] your ancestors [did], Yahweh was also angry with me. He said to me, ‘You also will not enter that land.
38 Исус, син Навин, који те служи, он ће ући онамо, њега утврди; јер ће је он разделити синовима Израиљевим у наследство.
Joshua, the son of Nun, who is your helper, will enter it. Encourage him, because he is the one who will enable you Israeli people to occupy that land.’
39 А деца ваша, за коју рекосте да ће постати робље, синови ваши, који данас не знају ни шта је добро ни шта је зло, они ће ући онамо, и њима ћу је дати и они ће је наследити.
Then Yahweh said to all of us, ‘You said that your children would be captured by your enemies. Because they are very young, they do not yet know what is good and what is evil. But they are the ones to whom I will give that land, and they will enter it and occupy it.
40 Ви, пак, вратите се и идите у пустињу к Црвеном Мору.
But as for you, turn around and go back into the desert, toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba).’
41 А ви одговористе и рекосте ми: Сагрешисмо Господу; ићи ћемо и бићемо се сасвим како нам је заповедио Господ Бог наш. И узевши сваки своје оружје хтесте изаћи на гору.
Then your ancestors replied, ‘We have sinned; we have disobeyed Yahweh. So we will go and attack [the people who live in] that land, just like Yahweh our God commanded us to do.’ And each of their men put on his weapons, and they thought that it would be easy to invade the hilly region.
42 А Господ ми рече: Кажи им: Не идите и не бијте се, јер нисам међу вама, да не изгинете пред непријатељима својим.
But Yahweh said to me, ‘Tell them, “Do not go up there and attack those people, because I will not go with you. If you go, your enemies will defeat you.”’
43 И ја вам рекох, али не послушасте, него се опресте заповести Господњој, и навалисте на гору.
So I told that to your ancestors, but they would not heed what I said. They [again] rebelled against what Yahweh commanded them to do. Their soldiers proudly/arrogantly marched up into that hilly region.
44 Тада изиђоше пред вас Амореји, који сеђаху у оној планини, и погнаше вас као што чине пчеле, и побише вас на Сиру па до Орме.
Then the men of the Amor people-group who lived in that region came out [of their towns] and attacked those soldiers. They pursued your ancestors’ soldiers like [a swarm of] bees pursues people, and they pursued them [south] from the Edom area and defeated them at Hormah [city].
45 И вративши се плакасте пред Господом, али Господ не послуша глас ваш нити окрете ухо своје к вама.
So your ancestors went back [to Kadesh-Barnea] and cried out to request Yahweh [to help them], but he did not heed them. He did not pay any attention to them [DOU].
46 И остадосте у Кадису дуго времена докле онде стајасте.
So we stayed there at Kadesh-Barnea for a long time.”
