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

¹These [are] the words of the covenant which Jehovah hath commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, apart from the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.

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,

²And Moses calleth unto all Israel, and saith unto them, `Ye — ye have seen all that which Jehovah hath done before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;

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

³the great trials which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders;

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

⁴and Jehovah hath not given to you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, till this day,

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

⁵and I cause you to go forty years in a wilderness; your garments have not been consumed from off you, and thy shoe hath not worn away from off thy foot;

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

⁶bread ye have not eaten, and wine and strong drink ye have not drunk, so that ye know that I [am] Jehovah your God.

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

⁷`And ye come in unto this place, and Sihon king of Heshbon — also Og king of Bashan — doth come out to meet us, to battle, and we smite them,

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

⁸and take their land, and give it for an inheritance to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh;

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

⁹and ye have kept the words of this covenant, and done them, so that ye cause all that ye do to prosper.

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

¹⁰`Ye are standing to-day, all of you, before Jehovah your God — your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your authorities — every man of Israel;

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,

¹¹your infants, your wives, and thy sojourner who [is] in the midst of thy camps, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water —

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

¹²for thy passing over into the covenant of Jehovah thy God, and into His oath which Jehovah thy God is making with thee to-day;

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.

¹³in order to establish thee to-day to Him for a people, and He Himself is thy God, as He hath spoken to thee, and as He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

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

¹⁴`And not with you alone am I making this covenant and this oath;

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.

¹⁵but with him who is here with us, standing to-day before Jehovah our God, and with him who is not here with us to-day,

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

¹⁶for ye have known how ye dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we passed by through the midst of the nations which ye have passed by;

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

¹⁷and ye see their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which [are] with them,

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,

¹⁸lest there be among you a man or woman, or family or tribe, whose heart is turning to-day from Jehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations, lest there be in you a root fruitful of gall and wormwood:

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.

¹⁹`And it hath been, in his hearing the words of this oath, and he hath blessed himself in his heart, saying, I have peace, though in the stubbornness of my heart I go on, in order to end the fulness with the thirst.

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.

²⁰Jehovah is not willing to be propitious to him, for then doth the anger of Jehovah smoke, also His zeal, against that man, and lain down on him hath all the oath which is written in this book, and Jehovah hath blotted out his name from under the heavens,

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

²¹and Jehovah hath separated him for evil, out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the oaths of the covenant which is written in this book of the law.

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,

²²`And the latter generation of your sons who rise after you, and the stranger who cometh in from a land afar off, have said when they have seen the strokes of that land, and its sicknesses which Jehovah hath sent into it, —

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.

²³([with] brimstone and salt is the whole land burnt, it is not sown, nor doth it shoot up, nor doth there go up on it any herb, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overturned in His anger, and in His fury,) —

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

²⁴yea, all the nations have said, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus to this land? what the heat of this great anger?

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

²⁵`And they have said, Because that they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah, God of their fathers, which He made with them in His bringing them out of the land of Egypt,

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

²⁶and they go and serve other gods, and bow themselves to them — gods which they have not known, and which He hath not apportioned to them;

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

²⁷and the anger of Jehovah burneth against that land, to bring in on it all the reviling that is written in this book,

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.

²⁸and Jehovah doth pluck them from off their ground in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath, and doth cast them unto another land, as [at] this day.

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

²⁹`The things hidden [are] to Jehovah our God, and the things revealed [are] to us and to our sons — to the age, to do all the words of this law.
