¹These are the words of the covenant that Jehovah commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant that he made with them in Horeb.

¹Toto sú slová smluvy, ktorú prikázal Hospodin Mojžišovi uzavrieť so synmi Izraelovými v Moábskej zemi, krome smluvy, ktorú uzavrel s nimi na Horebe.

²And Moses called to all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that Jehovah did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his bondmen, and to all his land:

²Vtedy svolal Mojžiš celého Izraela, všetkých a povedal im: Vy ste videli všetko, čo učinil Hospodin pred vašimi očami v Egyptskej zemi faraonovi a všetkým jeho sluhom i celej jeho zemi,

³the great trials that thine eyes have seen, those great signs and wonders.

³tie veľké zkúšky, ktoré videly tvoje oči, tie znamenia a tie veľké zázraky.

⁴But Jehovah hath not given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.

⁴Avšak nedal vám Hospodin srdca, aby ste rozumeli, a očí, aby ste videli, ani uší, aby ste počuli, až do tohoto dňa.

⁵And I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes are not grown old upon you, and thy sandal is not grown old upon thy foot;

⁵A vodil som vás štyridsať rokov po púšti: vaše rúcha nezvetšely na vás, ani tvoja obuv nezvetšela na tvojej nohe.

⁶ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink, that ye might know that I am Jehovah your God.

⁶Chleba ste nejedli a vína ani iného opojného nápoja ste nepili, aby ste poznali, že ja som Hospodin, váš Bôh.

⁷And ye came to this place; and Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us for battle, and we smote them.

⁷Keď ste potom prišli na toto miesto, vyšiel Síchon, kráľ Chešbona, a Óg, kráľ Bázana, proti vám do boja, a porazili sme ich.

⁸And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of the Manassites.

⁸A vzali sme ich zem a dali sme ju do dedičstva Rúbenovcom a Gádovcom a polovici pokolenia Manassesovho.

⁹Ye shall keep then the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.

⁹A tedy budete ostríhať slová tejto smluvy a činiť ich, aby ste rozumne činili všetko, čokoľvek budete robiť.

¹⁰Ye stand this day all of you before Jehovah your God: your chiefs [of] your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel,

¹⁰Vy všetci stojíte dnes pred Hospodinom, svojím Bohom, vaše hlavy-kniežatá, vaše pokolenia, vaši starší, vaši správcovia, všetci mužovia Izraelovi,

¹¹your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, as well the hewer of thy wood as the drawer of thy water;

¹¹vaše deti, vaše ženy i tvoj pohostín, ktorý je v tvojom tábore, počnúc od toho, ktorý rúbe tvoje drevo, až po toho, ktorý čerpá tvoju vodu,

¹²that thou mayest enter into the covenant of Jehovah thy God, and into his oath, which Jehovah thy God maketh with thee this day;

¹²aby si prešiel v smluvu Hospodina, svojho Boha, a v jeho prísahu, ktorú Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, uzaviera s tebou dnes,

¹³that he may establish thee this day for a people unto himself, and [that] he may be to thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

¹³aby ťa dnes postavil sebe za ľud a on aby bol tebe Bohom, tak ako ti hovoril a jako prisahal tvojim otcom, Abrahámovi, Izákovi a Jakobovi.

¹⁴Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,

¹⁴A nie len s vami samými ja uzavieram túto smluvu a túto prísahu,

¹⁵but with him that standeth here with us this day before Jehovah our God, and with him that is not here with us this day

¹⁵ale i s každým tým, kto tu dnes stojí s nami pred Hospodinom, naším Bohom, ako i s tým, kto nie je tu s nami dnes.

¹⁶(for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the nations which ye passed;

¹⁶Lebo vy viete o tom, ako sme bývali v Egyptskej zemi a jako sme prešli pomedzi národy, ktorými ste prešli.

¹⁷and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);

¹⁷A videli ste ich ohavnosti a ich ukydané modly, drevo a kameň, striebro a zlato, čo bolo u nich.

¹⁸lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood,

¹⁸Aby nebolo medzi vami muža alebo ženy, čeľade alebo pokolenia, ktorého srdce by sa dnes odvrátilo od Hospodina, nášho Boha, aby išiel slúžiť bohom tých národov, aby nebolo medzi vami koreňa, plodiaceho jed a horkosť,

¹⁹and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to sweep away the drunken with the thirsty.

¹⁹a stalo by sa, keby počul slová tejto kliatby, že by si dobrorečil vo svojom srdci a riekol by: Nič to, budem mať pokoj, i keď budem chodiť podľa umienenosti svojho srdca; aby som odpratal mokré so suchým.

²⁰Jehovah will not pardon him, but the anger of Jehovah and his jealousy will then smoke against that man, and all the curse shall be upon him that is written in this book; and Jehovah will blot out his name from under the heavens;

²⁰Tomu nebude chcieť Hospodin odpustiť, lebo vtedy vzplanie hnev Hospodinov, a jeho revnivosť na toho človeka a zaľahne na neho celá kliatba, napísaná v tejto knihe, a Hospodin vyhladí jeho meno zpod nebies.

²¹and Jehovah will separate him for mischief out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.

²¹A Hospodin ho odlúči na zlé od všetkých pokolení Izraelových podľa všetkých kliatob smluvy, napísanej v tejto knihe zákona,

²²And the generation to come, your children who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and its sicknesses wherewith Jehovah hath visited it,

²²takže povie budúce pokolenie, vaši synovia, ktorí povstanú po vás, i cudzinec, ktorý prijde z ďalekej zeme, keď uvidia rany úderov tej zeme a jej neduhy, ktoré uvedie Hospodin na ňu,

²³[that] the whole ground thereof is brimstone and salt, [and] burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, and no grass groweth in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger and in his fury:

²³sírou a soľou, že je pohoreniskom celá ich zem; že sa neposieva ani že nerodí, ani že nerastie na nej nijaká bylina, že je podvrátená jako Sodoma a Gomora, jako Adma a Cebojim, ktoré podvrátil Hospodin vo svojom hneve a vo svojej prchlivosti.

²⁴even all nations shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land? whence the heat of this great anger?

²⁴A povedia všetky národy; Prečo tak učinil Hospodin tejto zemi? Čo znamená páľa tohoto veľkého hnevu?

²⁵And men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah the God of their fathers, which he had made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt;

²⁵A povedia: Preto, že opustili smluvu Hospodina, Boha svojich otcov, ktorú učinil s nimi vtedy, keď ich vyviedol z Egyptskej zeme,

²⁶and they went and served other gods, and bowed down to them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not assigned to them.

²⁶a odišli a slúžili iným bohom a klaňali sa im, bohom, ktorých neznali, a ktorých im nebol udelil.

²⁷And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book;

²⁷Preto sa zapálil hnev Hospodinov na tú zem, aby uviedol na ňu všetku tú kliatbu, napísanú v tejto knihe,

²⁸and Jehovah rooted them out of their land in anger, and in fury, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as [it appears] this day.

²⁸a Hospodin ich vyplienil z ich zeme v hneve a v prchlivosti a ľutosti, veľkej, a vyvrhol ich do inej zeme, jako je tomu dnes.

²⁹The hidden things belong to Jehovah our God; but the revealed ones are ours and our children's for ever, to do all the words of this law.

²⁹Skryté veci patria Hospodinovi, nášmu Bohu, a zjavené nám a našim synom až na veky, aby sme činili všetky slová tohoto zákona.
