Deuteronomy, 28

1. “So then, if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all of his commandments, which I instruct to you this day, the Lord your God will cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which exist upon the earth.

1. Ako zbilja poslušaš glas Jahve, Boga svoga, držeæi i vršeæi sve njegove zapovijedi što ti ih danas nareðujem, Jahve, Bog tvoj, uzvisit æe te nad sve narode na zemlji.

2. And all these blessings shall come to you and take hold of you, but only if you listen to his precepts.

2. Svi ovi blagoslovi siæi æe na te i stiæi æe te ako budeš slušao glas Jahve, Boga svoga.

3. Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed in the field.

3. Blagoslovljen æeš biti u gradu, blagoslovljen u polju.

4. Blessed shall be the fruit of your loins, and the fruit of your land, and the fruit of your cattle, the droves of your herds, and the folds of your sheep.

4. Blagoslovljen æe biti plod utrobe tvoje, rod zemlje tvoje, plod blaga tvoga: mlad krava tvojih i prirast stada tvoga.

5. Blessed shall be your barns, and blessed your storehouses.

5. Blagoslovljen æe biti tvoj koš i naæve tvoje.

6. Blessed shall you be entering and departing.

6. Blagoslovljen æeš biti kad ulaziš, blagoslovljen kad izlaziš.

7. The Lord will grant that your enemies, who rise up against you, will fall down in your sight. They will come against you by one way, and they will flee from your face by seven ways.

7. Neprijatelje tvoje koji se dignu protiv tebe Jahve æe položiti preda te potuèene; jednim æe putem izaæi na te, a na sedam putova razbježat æe se ispred tebe.

8. The Lord will send forth a blessing upon your cellars, and upon all the works of your hands. And he will bless you in the land that you shall receive.

8. Jahve æe narediti da blagoslov bude s tobom u žitnicama tvojim i u svakom pothvatu ruke tvoje i blagoslivljat æe te u zemlji koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje.

9. The Lord will raise you up as a holy people for himself, just as he swore to you, if you will keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways.

9. Jahve æe od tebe uèiniti narod sebi posveæen, kako ti se zakleo, ako budeš držao zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, i hodio njegovim putovima.

10. And all the peoples of the earth shall see that the name of the Lord has been invoked over you, and they shall fear you.

10. Svi narodi zemlje vidjet æe da je nada te zazvano ime Jahvino te æe strahovati od tebe.

11. The Lord will cause you be abundant in every good thing: in the fruit of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, which the Lord swore to your fathers that he would give to you.

11. Jahve æe te obasuti obilnim dobrima: porodom utrobe tvoje, priraštajem blaga tvoga i rodom s tla tvoga u zemlji za koju se Jahve zakleo ocima tvojim da æe ti je dati.

12. The Lord will open his excellent treasury, the heavens, so that it may distribute rain in due time. And he will bless all the works of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you yourself will borrow nothing from anyone.

12. Jahve æe ti otvoriti svoju bogatu riznicu - nebo - da daje kišu tvojoj zemlji u pravo vrijeme i blagoslovi svaki pothvat ruku tvojih. Mnogim æeš narodima u zajam davati, a sam neæeš uzimati u zajam.

13. And the Lord will appoint you as the head, and not as the tail. And you shall be always above, and not beneath. But only if you will listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I entrust to you this day, and will keep and do them,

13. Jahve æe te držati na proèelju, a ne u zaèelju; uvijek æeš biti na vrhu, nikad na dnu, ako budeš slušao zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, što ti ih danas nareðujem da ih držiš i vršiš.

14. and will not turn aside from them, neither to the right, nor to the left, nor follow strange gods, nor worship them.

14. Ni od jedne rijeèi što vam je danas nalažem nemoj odstupati ni desno ni lijevo iduæi za drugim bogovima i iskazujuæi im štovanje.

15. But if you are not willing to listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all his commandments and ceremonies, which I instruct to you this day, all these curses shall come to you, and take hold of you.

15. Ali ako ne budeš slušao glasa Jahve, Boga svoga, ne držeæi i ne vršeæi svih njegovih zapovijedi i svih njegovih zakona što ti ih danas nareðujem, sva æe ova prokletstva doæi na te i stiæi æe te:

16. Cursed shall you be in the city, cursed in the field.

16. Proklet æeš biti u gradu, proklet u polju.

17. Cursed shall be your barn, and cursed your storehouses.

17. Proklet æe biti koš tvoj i naæve tvoje.

18. Cursed shall be the fruit of your loins, and the fruit of your land, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep.

18. Proklet æe biti plod utrobe tvoje i rod zemlje tvoje, mlad krava tvojih i priraštaj stada tvoga.

19. Cursed shall you be entering, and cursed departing.

19. Proklet æeš biti kad ulaziš, proklet kad izlaziš.

20. The Lord will send famine and hunger upon you, and a rebuke upon all the works that you do, until he quickly crushes and perishes you, because of your very wicked innovations, by which you have forsaken me.

20. Jahve æe na te puštati prokletstvo, zabunu i kletvu u svemu na što pružiš ruku svoju da uradiš, sve dok ne budeš satrt i brzo ne propadneš zbog zloæe svojih djela kojima si me napustio.

21. May the Lord join a pestilence to you, until he consumes you from the land, which you shall enter so as to possess.

21. Kugu æe Jahve za te privezati dok te ne nestane sa zemlje u koju ideš da je zaposjedneš.

22. May the Lord strike you with destitution, with fever and cold, with burning and heat, and with polluted air and rot, and may he pursue you until you perish.

22. Jahve æe te udariti sušicom, groznicom, upalom, žegom i sušom, medljikom i snijeti; to æe te goniti dok te ne nestane.

23. May the heavens which are above you be of brass, and may the ground upon which you tread be of iron.

23. Nebesa nad tvojom glavom postat æe mjedena, a tlo pod tvojim nogama postat æe gvozdeno.

24. May the Lord give you dust instead of rain upon your land, and may ashes descend from heaven over you, until you have been wiped away.

24. Kišu tvoje zemlje Jahve æe pretvarati u pijesak i prašinu da na te pada s nebesa dok te ne uništi.

25. May the Lord hand you over to fall before your enemies. May you go forth against them by one way, and flee by seven ways, and may you be scattered across all the kingdoms of the earth.

25. Jahve æe od tebe uèiniti pobijeðenoga pred tvojim neprijateljima; jednim æeš putem prema njima izlaziti, a na sedam putova bježat æeš ispred njih. Strašilo æeš postati za sva zemaljska kraljevstva.

26. And may your carcass be food for all the flying things of the air and the wild beasts of the land, and may there be no one to drive them away.

26. I mrtvo tijelo tvoje postat æe hranom svim pticama nebeskim i svoj zvjeradi zemaljskoj. Nikoga neæe biti da ih plaši.

27. May the Lord strike you with the ulcer of Egypt, and may he strike the part of your body, through which the dung goes out, with disease as well as itch, so much so that you are unable to be cured.

27. Jahve æe te udarati egipatskim prištevima, èirevima, krastama i svrabom, od kojih se neæeš moæi izlijeèiti.

28. May the Lord strike you with frenzy and blindness and a madness of the mind.

28. Jahve æe te udarati bjesnilom, sljepoæom i ludilom;

29. And may you grope at midday, just as a blind man is accustomed to grope in darkness, and may your paths not be straight. And at all times may you suffer slander and be oppressed with violence, and may you have no one who may free you.

29. u po bijela dana tumarat æeš kao što tumara slijepac po mraku; neæeš imati uspjeha u svojim pothvatima; sve vrijeme svoje bit æeš izrabljivan i pljaèkan, a neæe biti nikoga da te spasi.

30. May you take a wife, though another sleeps with her. May you build a house, but not live within it. May you plant a vineyard, and not gather its vintage.

30. Sa ženom æeš se zaruèivati, ali æe je drugi posjedovati. Kuæu æeš graditi, ali u njoj neæeš stanovati. Vinograd æeš zasaðivati, ali ga neæeš brati.

31. May your ox be immolated before you, though you do not eat from it. May your donkey be seized in your sight, and not restored to you. May your sheep be given to your enemies, and may there be no one who may help you.

31. Tvoga æe vola na tvoje oèi zaklati, ali ti od njega neæeš jesti; tvoga æe magarca ispred tebe otimati, ali ti ga neæe vraæati; stado æe tvoje neprijatelju tvome predavati, a neæe biti nikoga da ti pritekne u pomoæ.

32. May your sons and your daughters be handed over to another people, as your eyes watch and languish at the sight of them throughout the day, and may there be no strength in your hand.

32. Sinovi tvoji i kæeri tvoje bit æe predavani drugome narodu. Oèi æe tvoje svaki dan kapati gledajuæi za njima, ali ruka tvoja neæe moæi ništa.

33. May a people you do not know eat the fruits of your land and of all your labors. And may you continually suffer from slander and oppression every day.

33. Narod koji i ne poznaješ jest æe plod sa zemlje tvoje i svu muku tvoju, dok æeš ti sve vrijeme svoje biti izrabljivan i gažen.

34. And may you be stupefied at the terror of the things your eyes will see.

34. Ludovat æeš od prizora što æe ih oèi tvoje gledati.

35. May the Lord strike you with a very grievous ulcer in the knees and in the legs, and may you be unable to attain health, from the sole of the foot to the top of the head.

35. Jahve æe te udarati ljutim prištevima po koljenima i po stegnima - od stopala nogu tvojih do tjemena na glavi tvojoj - od kojih se neæeš moæi izlijeèiti.

36. May the Lord lead you and your king, whom you will have appointed over yourself, into a nation which you and your fathers have not known. And there you will serve foreign gods, of wood and of stone.

36. Jahve æe odvesti i tebe i tvoga kralja, koga budeš postavio nad sobom, meðu narod nepoznat i tebi i tvojim ocima te æeš ondje iskazivati štovanje drugim bogovima, drvenim i kamenim.

37. And you will become nothing but a proverb and a fable to all the peoples to whom the Lord will lead you.

37. Bit æeš na zgražanje, porugu i ruglo svim narodima meðu koje te Jahve odvede.

38. You will sow much seed upon the ground, but you will harvest little. For the locusts will devour everything.

38. Mnogo æeš sjemena bacati u polje, ali æeš malo žeti jer æe ti urod skakavci ogolijevati.

39. You will dig and plant a vineyard, but you will not drink the wine, nor gather anything at all from it. For it will be devastated by worms.

39. Vinograde æeš saditi i obraðivati, ali vina neæeš piti niti æeš što brati jer æe ih crv izjedati.

40. You will have olive trees in all your borders, but you will not be anointed with the oil. For the olives will fall off and perish.

40. Imat æeš masline po svemu svome podruèju, ali se uljem neæeš mazati jer æe ti masline opadati.

41. You will conceive sons and daughters, and you will not enjoy them. For they will be led into captivity.

41. Sinove æeš i kæeri raðati, ali tvoji neæe biti jer æe u sužanjstvo odlaziti.

42. Rot will consume all the trees, as well as the fruits of your land.

42. Sva tvoja stabla i rod sa zemlje tvoje postat æe plijenom kukaca.

43. The new arrival who lives with you in the land will ascend over you, and be higher. But you will descend, and be lower.

43. Došljak koji bude u sredini tvojoj uzdizat æe se nada te, a ti æeš padati sve niže i niže.

44. He will lend to you, and you will not lend to him. He will be as the head, and you will be as the tail.

44. On æe uzaimati tebi, a ne ti njemu; on æe biti glava, a ti rep.

45. And all these curses shall come to you, and shall pursue you, and shall take hold of you, until you pass away, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and you would not serve his commandments and ceremonies, which he has instructed to you.

45. Sva æe te ova prokletstva snalaziti, progoniti i doseæi dok te ne unište, jer nisi slušao glasa Jahve, Boga svoga, ni držao zapovijedi njegovih i zakona njegovih koje ti je dao.

46. And there will be the signs and portents with you, and with your offspring, forever.

46. Ona æe služiti za èudesni znak na tebi i tvome potomstvu zauvijek.

47. Because you did not serve the Lord your God, with gladness and a joyful heart, over the abundance of all things.

47. Buduæi da nisi htio služiti Jahvi, Bogu svome, vesela i radosna srca zbog obilja svega,

48. You will serve your enemy, whom the Lord will send to you, in hunger and thirst and nakedness, and in destitution of all things. And he will place an iron yoke upon your neck, until he has crushed you.

48. služit æeš neprijatelju svome, koga æe Jahve poslati na te, u gladu i žeði, golotinji i oskudici svakoj. Na tvoju æe šiju navaljivati jaram od gvožða dok te ne satre.

49. The Lord will lead over you a nation from far away, even from the furthest parts of the earth, like an eagle flying with great force, whose language you are not able to understand:

49. Jahve æe iz daljine, s kraja zemlje, dovesti na te narod koji æe sletjeti kao orao. Bit æe to narod kojemu jezika neæeš razumjeti;

50. a very insolent nation, which will show no deference to elders, nor take pity on little ones.

50. narod bezdušan, koji neæe pokazivati obzira prema starima ni smilovanja prema mladima.

51. And he will devour the fruit of your cattle, and the fruits of your land, until you have passed away, without leaving behind you wheat, or wine, or oil, or herds of oxen, or flocks of sheep: until he utterly destroys you.

51. On æe ti jesti mlado od tvoga blaga i rod tvoje njive dok te ne uništi; neæe ti ostavljati ni žita, ni vina, ni ulja, ni mlado od krave, ni priraštaj od stada, sve dok te ne upropasti.

52. And he will crush you in all your cities. And your strong and lofty walls, in which you trusted, will be destroyed throughout all your land. You will be besieged within your gates throughout all your land, which the Lord your God will give to you.

52. Opsjedat æe te u svim tvojim gradovima širom zemlje tvoje dok ne obori visoke i utvrðene bedeme u koje si polagao nadu svoju; opsjednut æe te u svim gradovima tvojim širom zemlje tvoje koju ti dadne Jahve, Bog tvoj.

53. And you will eat the fruit of your womb, and the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, which the Lord your God will give to you, due to the anguish and devastation with which your enemy will oppress you.

53. U tjeskobi i jadu, kojima æe te neprijatelj tvoj pritisnuti, jest æeš plod utrobe svoje - meso sinova svojih i kæeri svojih koje ti dadne Jahve, Bog tvoj.

54. The man who is pampered and very self-indulgent among you will vie with his own brother, and with the wife who lies at his bosom,

54. Èovjek najnježniji i najmekši u tebe zlobnim æe okom gledati na vlastitog brata, ženu u svome naruèju i djecu svoju što mu preostanu,

55. lest he give to them from the flesh of his sons, which he will eat. For he has nothing else due to the siege and the destitution, with which your enemies will devastate you within all your gates.

55. ne hoteæi ni s jednim od njih dijeliti mesa sinova svojih koje bude jeo, jer zbog tjeskobe i jada, kojima æe te neprijatelj tvoj pritiskati po svim gradovima tvojim, drugo mu neæe preostajati.

56. The tender and pampered woman, who would not walk upon the soil, nor step firmly with her foot due to her very great softness and tenderness, will vie with her husband, who lies at her bosom, over the flesh of son and of daughter,

56. I žena najnježnija i najmekša što bude u tebe - toliko nježna i tankoæutna da se ne usuðuje spustiti stopala na zemlju - zlobnim æe okom gledati na muža u svome naruèju, i na sina svoga, i na kæer svoju,

57. and over the filth of the afterbirth, which goes forth from between her thighs, and over the children who are born in the same hour. For they will eat them secretly, due to the scarcity of all things during the siege and the devastation, with which your enemy will oppress you within your gates.

57. i na posteljicu svoju što joj iziðe izmeðu nogu, i na djecu što ih ima roditi, jer æe ih potajno jesti, oskudna u svemu, zbog nevolje i jada kojim æe te neprijatelj tvoj pritisnuti po svim gradovima tvojim.

58. If you will not keep and do all the words of this law, which have been written in this volume, and fear his glorious and terrible name, that is, the Lord your God,

58. Ako ne budeš držao i vršio rijeèi ovoga Zakona što su napisane u ovoj knjizi, ne poštujuæi ovo slavno i strašno Ime - Jahvu, Boga svoga -

59. then the Lord will increase your plagues, and the plagues of your offspring, plagues great and long-lasting, infirmities very grievous and continuous.

59. Jahve æe tebe i tvoje potomstvo teško ošinuti velikim i dugotrajnim bièevima, pogubnim i dugim bolestima.

60. And he will turn back upon you all the afflictions of Egypt, which you fear, and these will cling to you.

60. Pustit æe na te sva zla egipatska kojih si se plašio, i ona æe se prilijepiti za te.

61. In addition, the Lord will lead over you all the diseases and plagues that are not written in the volume of this law, until he crushes you.

61. A i svaku drugu bolest i biè, koji nije naveden u knjizi ovoga Zakona, Jahve æe na te puštati dok te ne uništi.

62. And you will remain few in number, though you were before like the stars of heaven in multitude, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God.

62. Ostat æe vas samo malo, vas što brojni bijaste kao zvijezde nebeske, a sve zato što nisi slušao glasa Jahve, Boga svoga.

63. And just as before, when the Lord rejoiced over you, doing good for you and multiplying you, so shall he rejoice, scattering and overturning you, so as to take you away from the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.

63. Kako se Jahve nad vama radovao usreæujuæi vas i množeæi, tako æe se Jahve radovati nad vama rušeæi vas i uništavajuæi da se iskorijenite sa zemlje u koju idete da je zaposjednete.

64. The Lord will disperse you among all the peoples, from the heights of the earth to its furthest limits. And there you will serve foreign gods of wood and of stone, which you and your fathers did not know.

64. Jahve æe vas razbacati po svim narodima, s kraja na kraj zemlje; ondje æeš iskazivati štovanje drugim bogovima: drvenim i kamenim - koji su bili nepoznati i tebi i tvojim ocima.

65. Similarly, you will not have tranquility, even within those nations, nor will there be any rest for the steps of your feet. For the Lord will give to you in that place a fearful heart, and failing eyes, and a life consumed with grieving.

65. Ali meðu tim narodima neæeš imati mira; ni tvome stopalu neæe biti poèivališta, nego æe ti ondje Jahve dati srce uznemireno, oèi utonule, dušu tjeskobnu.

66. And your life will be as if it were hanging before you. You will be afraid night and day, and you will not have confidence in your own life.

66. Život tvoj visjet æe o niti; bojat æeš se i danju i noæu i neæeš biti siguran za život svoj.

67. In the morning you will say, ‘Who will grant evening to me?’ and at evening, ‘Who will grant morning to me?’ because of the dread of your heart, with which you will be terrified, and because of those things that you will see with your eyes.

67. U strahu koji æe ti stezati srce i od prizora što æe ga oèi tvoje gledati, jutrom æeš govoriti: 'Oh, da je veæ veèer!' a naveèer æeš govoriti: 'Oh, da je veæ jutro!'

68. The Lord will lead you back into Egypt with a fleet of ships, along the way, about which he said to you that you would not see it again. In that place, you will be put up for sale as men and women servants to your enemies, but there will be no one willing to buy you.”

68. U Egipat æe te na galijama natrag odvesti Jahve putem za koji sam ti rekao da ga više ne smiješ vidjeti. Ondje æete se vi sami prodavati svojim neprijateljima za robove i ropkinje, ali neæe biti kupca."

69.

69. To su rijeèi Saveza što ga propisa Jahve Mojsiju da ga sklopi s Izraelcima u zemlji moapskoj, povrh Saveza što ga je s njima sklopio na Horebu.
