Deuteronomy 9

Slušaj, Izraele! Danas prelaziš preko Jordana da sebi podvrgneš narode i veće i brojnije nego što si ti; velike gradove, s utvrdama do nebesa;

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 fenced up to heaven,

narod velik i gorostasan poput Anakovaca, koje već poznaješ i o kojima si slušao: 'Tko da odoli Anakovcima?'

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

Znaj dakle danas da Jahve, Bog tvoj, ide pred tobom. On je vatra što proždire; on će ih oboriti, tebi ih podvrgnuti. A ti ćeš ih onda rastjerati i ubrzo pobiti, kako ti je Jahve i rekao.

Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which 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 unto thee.

Pošto ih otjera ispred tebe Jahve, Bog tvoj, nemoj reći u srcu svome: 'Jahve me uveo da zaposjednem ovu zemlju zbog moje pravednosti.' Naprotiv, zbog opačina onih naroda Jahve ih tjera ispred tebe.

Speak not thou in thine 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.

Ne ideš ti da zaposjedneš njihovu zemlju zbog svoje pravednosti i čestitosti svoga srca, nego zato što Jahve, Bog tvoj, zbog opačine onih naroda tjera njih ispred tebe da tako održi riječ kojom se zakleo tvojim ocima: Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu.

Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine 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 sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Znaj, dakle, da ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, ne daje ovu dobru zemlju u posjed zbog tvoje pravednosti, jer si ti narod tvrde šije!

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.

Sjećaj se i ne zaboravljaj kako si u pustinji ljutio Jahvu, Boga svoga. Od dana kad ste izašli iz zemlje egipatske do dolaska na ovo mjesto, Jahvi ste se opirali.

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

Na Horebu ste rasrdili Jahvu i Jahve je na vas tako planuo da vas je htio uništiti.

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

Popeo sam se na brdo da primim kamene ploče, ploče Saveza što ga s vama sklopi Jahve. Na brdu sam ostao četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći: niti sam jeo kruha niti pio vode.

When I was gone up into 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 did eat bread nor drink water:

I dade mi Jahve dvije kamene ploče, ispisane prstom Božjim, na kojima bijahu sve riječi što vam ih je Jahve isred ognja na brdu rekao na dan zbora.

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

Kad je prošlo četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći, Jahve mi dade dvije kamene ploče - ploče Saveza.

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.

I reče mi Jahve: 'Ustaj! Žurno siđi odavde, jer se pokvario narod tvoj koji si izveo iz Egipta. Brzo su zašli s puta koji sam im označio: već su sebi napravili livenog kumira.'

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

Još mi reče Jahve: 'Promatrao sam taj narod. Zbilja je to narod tvrde šije!

Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

Pusti me da ih uništim i njihovo ime izbrišem pod nebesima, a od tebe da učinim narod i jači i brojniji nego što je ovaj!'

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.

Okrenuh se i siđoh niz brdo, a brdo svejednako plamtjelo u ognju. Dvije ploče Saveza bijahu mi u rukama.

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.

Pogledah: zbilja ste sagriješili protiv Jahve, Boga svoga. Salili ste sebi tele od kovine. Tako ste brzo zašli s puta što vam ga Jahve bijaše označio.

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 out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.

Pograbih dvije ploče te ih bacih od sebe objema rukama - razbih ploče pred vašim očima.

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

Onda se ničice bacih pred Jahvu. Četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći - kao i prije - niti sam jeo kruha niti pio vode zbog svih grijeha koje ste počinili radeći zlo u očima Jahve i srdeći ga.

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

Jer se bojah srdžbe i gnjeva kojim je Jahve usplamtio na vas da vas zatre. Ali me i tada Jahve usliša.

For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.

I na Arona se Jahve silno rasrdio, htio ga uništiti. Tada se zauzeh i za Arona.

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

Vaš grijeh, tele što bijaste načinili, uzeh i sažegoh ga u vatri. U prah ga satrh i prah mu bacih u potok što teče s brda.

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 thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.

Kod Tabere, kod Mase i Kibrot Hataave srdili ste Jahvu.

And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth–hattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.

Kad vas je Jahve slao od Kadeš Barnee govoreći: 'Idite gore i uzmite zemlju koju sam vam dao', pobunili ste se protiv riječi Jahve, Boga svoga; u nj se niste pouzdavali niti ste slušali njegov glas.

Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadesh–barnea, 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.

Nepokorni bijaste Jahvi otkad vas poznajem.

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

Zato sam pao ničice i ležao pred Jahvom četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći, jer Jahve bijaše rekao da će vas uništiti.

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.

Jahvu sam molio i rekao: 'Gospodine moj, Jahve! Ne uništavaj naroda svoga, baštine svoje koju si izbavio u svojoj veličajnosti i svojom moćnom rukom izveo iz Egipta.

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

Sjeti se slugu svojih: Abrahama, Izaka i Jakova, a ne obaziri se na tvrdokornost ovoga naroda, na njegovu opačinu, na grijeh njegov,

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

da se ne rekne u zemlji iz koje si nas izbavio: Jahve ih nije mogao uvesti u zemlju koju im je obećao, ili ih je mrzio pa ih je zato odveo da ih pomori u pustinji.

Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out 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.

A oni su tvoj narod, tvoja baština, oni koje si izveo svojom velikom moći i ispruženom mišicom.'

Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
