Deuteronomy, 31

1. And so, Moses went out, and he spoke all these words to all of Israel.

1. Mojsije doðe da upravi ove rijeèi svemu Izraelu:

2. And he said to them: “Today, I am one hundred and twenty years old. I am no longer able to go out and return, especially since the Lord has also said to me, ‘You shall not cross this Jordan.’

2. "Meni je danas sto dvadeset godina", - reèe im. "Ne mogu više izlaziti i ulaziti. A Jahve mi je rekao: 'Neæeš prijeæi ovog Jordana!'

3. Therefore, the Lord your God will go across before you. He himself will abolish all these nations in your sight, and you shall possess them. And this man Joshua shall go across before you, just as the Lord has spoken.

3. Sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, pred tobom æe prijeæi; on æe pred tobom potuæi one narode da ih otjerate s posjeda. Jošua æe pred tobom iæi, kako je Jahve rekao.

4. And the Lord will do to them just as he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, and he will wipe them away.

4. Jahve æe postupiti s njima kako je postupio sa Sihonom i Ogom, amorejskim kraljevima, i njihovom zemljom kad ih uništi.

5. Therefore, when the Lord will have delivered these to you also, you shall act similarly toward them, just as I have instructed you.

5. Pred vas æe ih Jahve položiti, a vi æete s njima postupati prema svim naredbama koje sam vam dao.

6. Act manfully and be strengthened. Do not be afraid, and do not dread at the sight of them. For the Lord your God himself is your commander, and he will neither dismiss nor abandon you.”

6. Ohrabrite se i budite odluèni! Ne bojte se i nemojte prÓedati pred njima. TÓa sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, ide s tobom; neæe te zapustiti niti æe te ostaviti."

7. And Moses called Joshua, and, before all of Israel, he said to him: ‘Be strong and valiant. For you shall lead this people into the land which the Lord swore that he would give to their fathers, and you shall divide it by lot.

7. Tada Mojsije zovnu Jošuu pa mu reèe pred svim Izraelom: "Ohrabri se i budi odluèan! Jer ti æeš iæi s ovim narodom u zemlju za koju se Jahve zakle ocima njihovim da æe im je dati; ti æeš im je predavati u baštinu.

8. And the Lord, who is your commander, will himself be with you. He will neither renounce nor abandon you. Do not be afraid, and do not dread.”

8. Sam Jahve ide pred tobom; on æe s tobom biti; neæe te zapustiti niti æe te ostaviti. Ne boj se i ne dršæi!"

9. And so, Moses wrote this law, and he handed it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel.

9. Mojsije napisa ovaj Zakon i predade ga sveæenicima, sinovima Levijevim, koji su nosili Kovèeg saveza Jahvina, i svim izraelskim starješinama.

10. And he instructed them, saying: “After seven years, in the year of remission, at the solemnity of the Feast of Tabernacles,

10. Mojsije im naredi: "Svake sedme godine - godine oprosne - na Blagdan sjenica,

11. when all of Israel has convened in order to appear in the sight of the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord will choose, you shall read the words of this law before all of Israel, in their hearing.

11. kad doðe sav Izrael da vidi lice Jahve, Boga tvoga, na mjestu koje on odabere, proèitaj ovaj Zakon u nazoènosti svega Izraela.

12. And when the people have gathered together, men as well as women and little children, and the new arrivals who are within your gates, they shall listen so that they may learn, and may fear the Lord your God, and may keep and fulfill all the words of this law,

12. Saberi narod - ljude, žene, djecu i došljaka što bude u tvojim gradovima - da èuju i da nauèe bojati se Jahve, Boga vašega, pa da drže i vrše sve rijeèi ovog Zakona.

13. and also so that their sons, who are now ignorant, may be able to listen, and may fear the Lord their God all the days that they live in the land to which you will travel, crossing the Jordan in order to obtain it.”

13. Sinovi njihovi, koji to još ne znaju, èut æe i nauèit æe bojati se Jahve, Boga vašega, sve vrijeme dok budete živjeli na zemlji što æete je, prešavši Jordan, zaposjesti."

14. And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, the days of your death draw near. Call Joshua, and stand in the tabernacle of the testimony, so that I may instruct him.” Therefore, Moses and Joshua went and stood in the tabernacle of the testimony.

14. Jahve reèe Mojsiju: "Evo se bliži vrijeme tvoje smrti. Zovni Jošuu i naðite se u Šatoru sastanka da mu dam zapovijedi." Mojsije i Jošua doðu u Šator sastanka.

15. And the Lord appeared there, in a pillar of cloud, which stood at the entrance of the tabernacle.

15. U Šatoru pokaže se Jahve u stupu od oblaka. Stup od oblaka stajao je na ulazu u Šator.

16. And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will rise up and will fornicate after foreign gods, in the land which they will enter so that they may live in it. In that place, they will forsake me, and they will make void the covenant that I have formed with them.

16. Jahve reèe Mojsiju: "Evo æeš naskoro poèinuti sa svojim ocima. A narod æe se ovaj diæi da èini blud iduæi za tuðim bogovima one zemlje u koju æe naskoro uæi; mene æe napustiti i prekršit æe moj Savez što ga s njim sklopih.

17. And my fury will be enraged against them in that day. And I will abandon them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured. Every evil and affliction will find them, so much so that they will say in that day: ‘Truly, it is because God is not with me that these evils have found me.’

17. I onda æe se izliti moj gnjev na nj. Ostavit æu ih tada i sakriti od njih svoje lice da budu proždirani. Snaæi æe ih mnoga zla i nevolje i onda æe reæi: 'Zar me ne snalaze ove nevolje zbog toga što Bog moj nije u mojoj sredini?'

18. But I will hide myself, and I will conceal my face in that day, because of all the evils that they have done, because they have followed strange gods.

18. A ja æu sasvim sakriti svoje lice u taj dan, zbog svega zla što ga budu èinili okreæuæi se drugim bogovima.

19. And so, write this canticle now, and teach it to the sons of Israel, so that they may retain it in memory, and may chant it by mouth, and so that this verse may be a testimony to me among the sons of Israel.

19. Pišite sada sebi ovu pjesmu. Neka je nauèe Izraelci! Stavi je u njihova usta da mi ova pjesma bude svjedokom protiv Izraelaca.

20. For I will lead them into the land, about which I swore to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey. And when they have eaten, and have been satiated and fattened, they will turn aside to foreign gods, and they will serve them. And they will disparage me, and they will nullify my covenant.

20. Kad ih dovedem u zemlju kojom teèe med i mlijeko i za koju se zakleh ocima njihovim i kad se najedu, nasite i ugoje, okrenut æe se oni drugim bogovima i njima æe iskazivati štovanje; mene æe prezreti i prekršiti moj Savez.

21. And after many evils and afflictions have overwhelmed them, this canticle will answer them as a testimony; it shall never pass into oblivion, away from the mouths of their offspring. For I know their thoughts and what they are about to do today, even before I lead them into the land which I have promised to them.”

21. A kad ih snaðu mnoge nesreæe i nevolje, ova pjesma, jer je njihovo potomstvo neæe nikada zaboraviti, pružit æe svjedoèanstvo protiv njih. Jer znam ja njihove osnove i što veæ danas snuju, prije nego sam ih i doveo u zemlju koju im pod zakletvom obeæah."

22. Therefore, Moses wrote the canticle, and he taught it to the sons of Israel.

22. Toga dana napisa Mojsije ovu pjesmu i nauèi Izraelce pjesmi.

23. And the Lord instructed Joshua, the son of Nun, and he said: “Be strong and valiant. For you shall lead the sons of Israel into the land which I have promised, and I will be with you.”

23. Nunovu sinu Jošui naloži: "Ohrabri se i budi odluèan! Jer ti æeš uvesti Izraelce u zemlju za koju sam im se zakleo. I ja æu biti s tobom."

24. Therefore, after Moses had written the words of this law in a volume, and had finished it,

24. Kad Mojsije napisa rijeèi ovoga Zakona u knjigu,

25. he instructed the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying:

25. tada naredi Levijevcima, koji su nosili Kovèeg saveza Jahvina:

26. “Take this book, and place it inside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, so that it may be there as a testimony against you.

26. "Uzmite knjigu ovoga Zakona i položite je uz Kovèeg saveza Jahvina. Neka ondje bude svjedokom protiv tebe!

27. For I know your contentiousness and your very stiff neck. Even while I am still living and entering with you, you have always acted with contention against the Lord. How much more so when I will be dead?

27. TÓa znam ja tvoju buntovnost i tvoju tvrdu šiju. Evo i danas, dok još s vama živim, bunite se protiv Jahve. A kako li neæete kad ja umrem!

28. Gather to me all those greater by birth throughout your tribes, as well as your teachers, and I will speak these words in their hearing, and I will call heaven and earth as witnesses against them.

28. Saberite k meni sve starješine svojih plemena i svoje nadglednike da na njihove uši kažem ove rijeèi te da protiv njih uzmem za svjedoke nebo i zemlju.

29. For I know that, after my death, you will act with iniquity, and you will quickly depart from the way that I have instructed to you. And so, evils will meet you in the end time, when you will have done evil in the sight of the Lord so as to provoke him through the works of your hands.”

29. Jer znam ja da æete se nakon moje smrti izopaèiti i skrenuti s puta koji sam vam odredio; nesreæa æe vas snaæi u buduæim vremenima kad budete èinili što je Jahvi nemilo i gnjevili ga djelima ruku svojih."

30. Thus did Moses speak, in the hearing of the entire assembly of Israel, the words of this canticle, and he completed it to its very end.

30. A onda, na uši sve zajednice izraelske, Mojsije izgovori do kraja rijeèi ove pjesme:
