Deuteronomy 2

Onda se okrenusmo i pođosmo u pustinju prema Crvenome moru, kako mi je Jahve naredio. Dugo smo se vrtjeli oko gore Seira.

Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.

I reče mi Jahve:

And the LORD spake unto me, saying,

'Dosta ste se vrtjeli oko ovoga brda. Okrenite prema sjeveru!'

Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.

I narodu naloži ovako: 'Sad ćete proći preko područja svoje braće, potomaka Ezavovih, koji žive u Seiru. Oni se vas boje, ali vi dobro pripazite;

And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:

s njima ne zamećite boja jer vam neću dati ni stope njihove zemlje: goru Seir predao sam Ezavu u vlasništvo.

Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.

Hranu od njih kupujte za novac da imate što jesti; i vodu za piće kupujte od njih za novac.'

Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.

Ta Jahve te, Bog tvoj, blagoslovio u svim djelima tvojih ruku; on je bdio nad tvojim putovanjem onom velikom pustinjom; ovih četrdeset godina Jahve, Bog tvoj, bijaše s tobom i ništa ti nije nedostajalo.

For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.

Tako smo svoju braću, potomke Ezavove što žive u Seiru, zaobišli putem što vodi u Arabu, Elat i Esjon Geber, a onda udarismo prema Moapskoj pustinji.

And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Ezion–gaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

Tada mi zapovjedi Jahve: 'Nemoj uznemirivati Moapce niti s njima zameći boja, jer ništa od njihove zemlje neću dati u tvoje vlasništvo: Lotovim sinovima predao sam Ar u posjed.'

And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.

Prije su ondje živjeli Emijci. Bio je to moćan narod i brojan; krupna stasa kao i Anakovci.

The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;

Poput Anakovaca, i njih smatraju Refaimcima, ali ih Moapci nazivaju Emijcima.

Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.

Isto su tako u Seiru živjeli prije Horijci, ali su ih Ezavovi potomci izvlastili, istrijebili ih i naselili se na njihovo, kako je, uostalom, učinio Izrael sa zemljom - baštinom svojom - koju mu je Jahve predao.

The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.

'A sada ustanite i prijeđite preko potoka Zereda!' I prijeđosmo potok Zered.

Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.

Vrijeme što smo išli od Kadeš Barnee pa dok smo prešli preko potoka Zereda iznosilo je trideset i osam godina - sve dok nije izumro iz tabora sav onaj naraštaj ljudi sposobnih za borbu, kako im se Jahve i zakleo.

And the space in which we came from Kadesh–barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them.

I zbilja! Ruka Jahvina bila je protiv njih: istrebljivala ih je isred tabora dok ih nije nestalo.

For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.

I tako, kad je smrt istrijebila iz naroda sve ljude sposobne za borbu,

So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

reče mi Jahve:

That the LORD spake unto me, saying,

'Danas prelaziš moapsku zemlju Ar.

Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:

A onda ćeš se približiti Amoncima. Nemoj ih uznemirivati niti s njima zameći boja. Ništa, naime, od zemlje Amonaca neću ustupiti tebi u vlasništvo jer sam je već predao u posjed Lotovim potomcima.'

And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.

I nju smatraju refaimskom zemljom. U njoj su prije živjeli Refaimci, koje Amonci zovu Zamzumijcima.

(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

Bio je to narod moćan i brojan; krupna stasa kao i Anakovci. No Jahve ih uništi pred Amoncima - koji ih izvlastiše i naseliše se na njihovo,

A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:

kako je, uostalom, učinio i potomcima Ezavovim, koji su nastanjeni u Seiru, kad je pred njima uništio Horijce, koje su oni otjerali s posjeda i do danas žive na njihovim mjestima.

As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:

I Avijce, koji su živjeli po zaseocima sve do Gaze, istrijebiše Kaftorci koji su došli iz Kaftora te se naseliše na njihovo mjesto.

And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)

'Ustajte! Na put krenite i prijeđite preko potoka Arnona. U ruke ti, eto, predajem Amorejca Sihona, kralja hešbonskoga, i njegovu zemlju. Počni s osvajanjem; izazovi ga na boj!

Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.

Od danas počinjem ugoniti strah i trepet pred tobom u narode koji su pod svim nebesima, tako da će strepiti i tresti se pred tobom kad god čuju glas o tebi.'

This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

Tada sam iz pustinje Kedmot uputio glasnike kralju hešbonskom Sihonu s miroljubivim riječima:

And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

'Pusti da prođem preko tvoje zemlje. Samo ću proći putem, ne skrećući ni desno ni lijevo.

Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.

Hranu mi prodavaj za novac da mogu jesti; i vodu za piće davaj mi za novac. Pusti me samo da pješice prođem,

Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;

da prijeđem preko Jordana u zemlju koju nam daje Jahve, Bog naš - kao što su mi dopustili potomci Ezavovi, nastanjeni u Seiru, i Moapci, što žive u Aru.'

(As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.

Ali hešbonski kralj Sihon ne htjede nas pustiti preko svoga; jer Jahve, Bog tvoj, duh mu zaslijepi a srce otvrdnu, da ga preda u tvoje šake, gdje je i danas.

But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.

Tada mi reče Jahve: 'Eto sam počeo da ti izručujem Sihona i njegovu zemlju. Počni osvajanje da mu zemljom zagospodariš.'

And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.

Kod Jahasa presrete nas Sihon.

Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.

Navali on i sav njegov narod. Ali Jahve, Bog naš, predade nam ga, tako da potukosmo njega, njegove sinove i sav njegov narod.

And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.

Tada osvojismo sve njegove gradove i prokletstvom udarismo sve gradove s ljudima, ženama i djecom, ništa ne štedeći,

And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:

izuzev stoke, koju uzesmo kao plijen, skupa s plijenom iz gradova što smo ih osvojili.

Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.

Od Aroera, koji se nalazi na obali potoka Arnona, i od grada koji je u njegovoj dolini pa do Gileada nije bilo grada koji bi nam odolio: sve nam ih je Jahve, Bog naš, predao.

From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us:

Jedino se nisi primicao zemlji Amonaca, kraju uz potok Jabok, i gradovima u pogorju, kako je Jahve, Bog naš, odredio.

Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us.
