¹Pozorujte, nebesia, ušima, a budem hovoriť! A zem nech počuje reči mojich úst!

¹Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

²Moje naučenie sa bude liať ako hojný dážď; moja mluva bude vlažiť ako rosa; bude jako tichý dážď na mladistvú trávu, jako hustý dážď na bylinu.

²My doctrine shall drop as the rain; My speech shall distil as the dew, As the small rain upon the tender grass, And as the showers upon the herb.

³Lebo budem hlásať meno Hospodinovi. Vzdajte velebnosť nášmu Bohu!

³For I will proclaim the name of Jehovah: Ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

⁴Skalo, ktorej dielo je dokonalé! Lebo všetky jeho cesty sú spravedlivým súdom. Silný Bôh verný, u ktorého nieto neprávosti; spravedlivý je a priamy.

⁴The Rock, his work is perfect; For all his ways are justice: A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, Just and right is he.

⁵Porušilo sa mu - nie jeho synovia, ich škvrna - prevrátené pokolenie a spletilé.

⁵They have dealt corruptly with him, [they are] not his children, [it is] their blemish; [They are] a perverse and crooked generation.

⁶Či sa tým odplacujete Hospodinovi, bláznivý ľude a nie múdry? Či nie je on tvoj otec, ten, ktorý si ťa nadobudol? On ťa učinil a postavil, aby si stál.

⁶Do ye thus requite Jehovah, O foolish people and unwise? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? He hath made thee, and established thee.

⁷Rozpomeň sa na dni minulého veku! Porozumejte rokom pokolenia a pokolenia! Opýtaj sa svojho otca, a oznámi ti, svojich starcov, a povedia ti!

⁷Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations: Ask thy father, and he will show thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.

⁸Keď delil Najvyšší národom dedičstvo, keď rozdeľoval synov Adamových, staväl hranice jednotlivým ľudstvám podľa počtu synov Izraelových.

⁸When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the children of men, He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.

⁹Pretože podielom Hospodinovým je jeho ľud, Jakob povrazcom jeho dedičstva.

⁹For Jehovah's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

¹⁰Našiel ho v pustej zemi a na pustine, v hukote divokej púšte; obňal ho, mal na neho pozor, ostríhal ho jako zrenicu svojho oka.

¹⁰He found him in a desert land, And in the waste howling wilderness; He compassed him about, he cared for him, He kept him as the apple of his eye.

¹¹Jako keď orlica povzbudzuje svoje orlíčatá, vznáša sa nad svojimi mláďatami; rozťahuje svoje krýdla, berie ho, nesie ho na svojich perutiach.

¹¹As an eagle that stirreth up her nest, That fluttereth over her young, He spread abroad his wings, he took them, He bare them on his pinions.

¹²Tak ho viedol sám Hospodin, a nebolo s ním boha cudzozemca.

¹²Jehovah alone did lead him, And there was no foreign god with him.

¹³Dal mu jazdiť po vysokých miestach zeme, a jedol úrody polí; dal mu ssať med zo skaly a olej z tvrdého kameňa,l

¹³He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he did eat the increase of the field; And he made him to suck honey out of the rock, And oil out of the flinty rock;

¹⁴maslo od kráv a mlieko od drobného stáda, s tukom jahniat baranov z Bázana a kozlov, s tukom pšeničného jadra, a pil si krv hrozna peniacu.

¹⁴Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, With the finest of the wheat; And of the blood of the grape thou drankest wine.

¹⁵No, keď stučnel Ješurún, kopnul. Stučnel si, stlstol si, vypásol si sa. A tak opustil Boha, ktorý ho učinil, a znevážil si skaly svojho spasenia.

¹⁵But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: Thou art waxed fat, thou art grown thick, thou art become sleek; Then he forsook God who made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

¹⁶Popudzovali ho k žiarlivosti cudzími bohmi, ohavnosťami ho popudzovali k hnevu.

¹⁶They moved him to jealousy with strange [gods]; With abominations provoked they him to anger.

¹⁷Obetovali démonom, nie Bohu, bohom, ktorých neznali, novým, ktorí prišli z blízka, ktorých sa nebáli vaši otcovia.

¹⁷They sacrificed unto demons, [which were] no God, To gods that they knew not, To new [gods] that came up of late, Which your fathers dreaded not.

¹⁸Skalu, ktorá ťa splodila, si zanedbal a zabudol si na silného Boha, ktorý ťa sformoval.

¹⁸Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, And hast forgotten God that gave thee birth.

¹⁹Keď to videl Hospodin, zavrhol s opovržením pre popudzovanie svojich synov a svojich dcér.

¹⁹And Jehovah saw [it], and abhorred [them], Because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.

²⁰A povedal: Skryjem pred nimi svoju tvár, uvidím, čo bude ich koniec, lebo sú oni všelijak prevrátené pokolenie, synovia, v ktorých niet vernosti.

²⁰And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: For they are a very perverse generation, Children in whom is no faithfulness.

²¹Oni ma popudzovali k žiarlivosti nie-Bohom, hnevali ma svojimi márnosťami, nuž tedy i ja ich popudím k žiarlivosti nie-ľudom, bláznivým národom ich popudím k hnevu.

²¹They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; They have provoked me to anger with their vanities: And I will move them to jealousy with those that are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

²²Lebo oheň sa roznietil mojím hnevom a bude horieť až do najhlbšieho pekla a požerie zem i jej úrodu a zapáli základy vrchov, takže budú horieť plameňom.

²²For a fire is kindled in mine anger, And burneth unto the lowest Sheol, And devoureth the earth with its increase, And setteth on fire the foundations of the mountains.

²³Nahromadím na nich zlých vecí, vystrieľam na nich všetky svoje strely.

²³I will heap evils upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them:

²⁴Civieť budú hladom a žraní budú pálčivým neduhom a horkým morom; pošlem na nich zub divých šeliem, s jedom plazov, ktorí sa plazia v prachu.

²⁴[They shall be] wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat And bitter destruction; And the teeth of beasts will I send upon them, With the poison of crawling things of the dust.

²⁵Vonku bude sirotiť meč a vnútri v príbytkoch, bude hubiť strach, i mládenca i pannu, dieťa, požívajúce prsia, so šedivým mužom.

²⁵Without shall the sword bereave, And in the chambers terror; [It shall destroy] both young man and virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.

²⁶Povedal som, že ich zmetiem, vytriem ich pamiatku zpomedzi ľudí.

²⁶I said, I would scatter them afar, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men;

²⁷Keby som sa neobával zloby nepriateľa, že bude popudzovať -, aby vidiac to ich protivníci nevyložili si to vo svojej pýche zle a nepovedali: Naša vyvýšená ruka to bola, a nie Hospodin vykonal všetko toto.

²⁷Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, Lest their adversaries should judge amiss, Lest they should say, Our hand is exalted, And Jehovah hath not done all this.

²⁸Lebo sú národom, ktorý hynie čo do múdrej rady, a niet v nich rozumnosti.

²⁸For they are a nation void of counsel, And there is no understanding in them.

²⁹Oj, aby boli múdri, aby to pochopili, aby porozumeli tomu, čo bude s nimi potom!

²⁹Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, That they would consider their latter end!

³⁰Oj, ako by jeden honil tisíc! A dvaja z nich by obrátili na útek desať tisíc, keby nebolo tak, že ich predala ich Skala, a že ich vydal Hospodin.

³⁰How should one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Except their Rock had sold them, And Jehovah had delivered them up?

³¹Lebo ich skala nie je ako naša Skala, a naši nepriatelia sú sami toho sudcami.

³¹For their rock is not as our Rock, Even our enemies themselves being judges.

³²Lebo ich vinič je z viniča Sodomy a z polí Gomory. Ich hrozná sú jedovaté hrozná, a majú horké strapce.

³²For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter:

³³Ich víno jedom drakov a strašným jedom ľútych hadov.

³³Their wine is the poison of serpents, And the cruel venom of asps.

³⁴Či nie je to skryté u mňa, zapečatené medzi mojimi pokladmi?

³⁴Is not this laid up in store with me, Sealed up among my treasures?

³⁵Moja je pomsta i odplata, hotová na čas, keď klesne ich noha. Lebo je blízko deň ich záhuby, a spiecha, čo im je prihotovené.

³⁵Vengeance is mine, and recompense, At the time when their foot shall slide: For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.

³⁶Lebo Hospodin bude súdiť svoj ľud, a uľúti sa mu nad jeho služobníkmi, keď uvidí, že ta išla ich pomocná ruka, a že nepozostáva iba zavrený a opustený.

³⁶For Jehovah will judge his people, And repent himself for his servants; When he seeth that [their] power is gone, And there is none [remaining], shut up or left at large.

³⁷A povie: Kdeže sú ich bohovia, skala, ku ktorej sa utiekali?

³⁷And he will say, Where are their gods, The rock in which they took refuge;

³⁸Bohovia, ktorí jedli tuk ich bitných obetí, pili víno ich liatych žertví? Nože nech povstanú a pomôžu vám! Nechže je tá vaša skala nad vami záštitou!

³⁸Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, Let them be your protection.

³⁹A tak teraz vidzte, že ja a len ja som to! A nie je u mňa nijakého Boha. Ja usmrcujem i oživujem, raním a ja tiež uzdravujem, a nie je toho, kto by vytrhol z mojej ruky.

³⁹See now that I, even I, am he, And there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; And there is none that can deliver out of my hand.

⁴⁰Lebo pozdvihujem svoju ruku k nebesiam a hovorím: Ako že ja žijem na veky!

⁴⁰For I lift up my hand to heaven, And say, As I live for ever,

⁴¹Ak nabrúsim lesk svojho meča, a moja ruka sa chytí súdu, vrátim pomstu svojim protivníkom, a tým, ktorí ma nenávidia, zaplatím.

⁴¹If I whet my glittering sword, And my hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine adversaries, And will recompense them that hate me.

⁴²Opojím svoje strely krvou, a môj meč bude žrať mäso; opojím ich krvou zabitého i zajatého, z bujnovlasej hlavy nepriateľa.

⁴²I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh; With the blood of the slain and the captives, From the head of the leaders of the enemy.

⁴³Veseľte sa, národy, s jeho ľudom, lebo pomstí krv svojich služobníkov a vráti pomstu svojim protivníkom a pokryje hriech svojej zeme i svojho ľudu.

⁴³Rejoice, O ye nations, [with] his people: For he will avenge the blood of his servants, And will render vengeance to his adversaries, And will make expiation for his land, for his people.

⁴⁴Potom prišiel Mojžiš a hovoril všetky slová tej piesne v uši ľudu, on i Hozeáš, syn Núnov.

⁴⁴And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.

⁴⁵A keď dohovoril Mojžiš všetky tie slová celému Izraelovi,

⁴⁵And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel;

⁴⁶riekol im: Priložte svoje srdce ku všetkým tým slovám, ktoré ja dnes činím svedkami proti vám, ktoré prikážete svojim synom, aby ich ostríhali a činili, všetky slová tohoto zákona.

⁴⁶And he said unto them, Set your heart unto all the words which I testify unto you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, [even] all the words of this law.

⁴⁷Lebo nie je to prázdne slovo, ktoré by bolo nad vašu možnosť, ale ono je vaším životom, a tým slovom predĺžite svoje dni na zemi, do ktorej idete cez Jordán, aby ste ju zaujali do dedičstva.

⁴⁷For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it.

⁴⁸A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi toho istého dňa a riekol:

⁴⁸And Jehovah spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,

⁴⁹Vyjdi na tento vrch Abárim, na vrch Nébo, ktorý je v Moábskej zemi a ktorý je naproti Jerichu, a vidz zem Kanaán, ktorú ja dám synom Izraelovým do državia.

⁴⁹Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession;

⁵⁰A zomri na vrchu, na ktorý ideš, a buď pripojený ku svojmu ľudu, tak ako zomrel Áron, tvoj brat, na vrchu Hore a bol pripojený ku svojmu ľudu,

⁵⁰and die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:

⁵¹pretože ste sa prehrešili proti mne medzi synmi Izraelovými pri vodách sváru v Kádeši na púšti Tsin, pretože ste ma neposvätili medzi synmi Izraelovými.

⁵¹because ye trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.

⁵²Lebo síce uvidíš zem pred sebou, ale ta nevojdeš, do zeme, ktorú ja dám synom Izraelovým.

⁵²For thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither into the land which I give the children of Israel.
