1Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
1Ovo su zapovijedi, zakoni i uredbe koje mi Jahve, Bog vaš, zapovjedi da vas u njima poučim, kako biste ih vršili u zemlji u koju odlazite da je zaposjednete;
2That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
2da se svega svog vijeka bojiš Jahve, Boga svoga, ti, sin tvoj i sin tvoga sina, vršeći sve zakone njegove i sve zapovijedi njegove što ti ih danas propisujem, pa da imaš dug život.
3Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
3Slušaj, Izraele, drži ih i vrši da ti dobro bude i da se razmnožiš u zemlji kojom teče med i mlijeko, kao što ti je obećao Jahve, Bog otaca tvojih.
4Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
4Čuj, Izraele! Jahve je Bog naš, Jahve je jedan!
5And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
5Zato ljubi Jahvu, Boga svoga, svim srcem svojim, svom dušom svojom i svom snagom svojom!
6And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
6Riječi ove što ti ih danas naređujem neka ti se urežu u srce.
7And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
7Napominji ih svojim sinovima. Govori im o njima kad sjediš u svojoj kući i kad ideš putem; kad liježeš i kad ustaješ.
8And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
8Priveži ih na svoju ruku za znak i neka ti budu kao zapis među očima!
9And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
9Ispiši ih na dovratnicima kuće svoje i na vratima svojim!
10And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,
10A kad te Jahve, Bog tvoj, dovede u zemlju za koju se zakleo tvojim ocima, Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu, da će je tebi dati - u velike i lijepe gradove kojih nisi zidao;
11And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
11u kuće pune svakog dobra kojih nisi punio; na iskopane čatrnje kojih nisi kopao; u vinograde i maslinike kojih nisi sadio - i sit se najedeš:
12Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
12pazi da ne zaboraviš Jahvu koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske, iz kuće ropstva.
13Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
13Boj se Jahve, Boga svoga; njemu iskazuj štovanje; njegovim imenom polaži prisegu.
14Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;
14Ne idite za drugim bogovima između bogova drugih naroda što su oko vas.
15(For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
15Jer je Jahve, Bog tvoj, što stoji u sredini tvojoj, ljubomoran Bog; gnjev bi Jahve, Boga tvoga, usplamtio protiv tebe i istrijebio te sa zemlje.
16Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
16Ne iskušavajte Jahvu, Boga svoga, kao što ste ga iskušavali kod Mase.
17Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
17Točno vršite zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, upute njegove i zakone njegove koje je izdao.
18And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers.
18Čini što je pravo i dobro u očima Jahve da ti dobro bude i da se domogneš dobre zemlje za koju se Jahve zakleo tvojim ocima
19To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.
19da će iz nje protjerati sve tvoje neprijatelje ispred tebe; tako je obećao Jahve.
20And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?
20A kad te sutra zapita tvoj sin: što su te upute, zakoni i uredbe što ih je Jahve, Bog naš, vama propisao -
21Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
21kaži svome sinu: 'Bili smo faraonovi robovi u Egiptu, ali nas je Jahve izveo iz Egipta jakom rukom.
22And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
22Na naše je oči Jahve učinio velike i strašne znakove i čudesa protiv Egipta, protiv faraona i protiv svega doma njegova,
23And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
23a nas je odande izveo da nas dovede i dade nam zemlju koju je zakletvom obećao ocima našim.
24And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
24I naredio nam je Jahve da sve ove naredbe vršimo u strahopoštovanju prema Jahvi, Bogu svome, da bismo uvijek bili sretni i da živimo kao što je to danas.'
25And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
25Naša će, dakle, pravednost biti: držati i vršiti sve ove zapovijedi pred Jahvom, Bogom našim, kako nam je naredio.
