¹Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them; that you may live, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, gives you.

¹Ja nüüd, Iisrael, kuule määrusi ja seadlusi, mida mina teid õpetan pidama, et te elaksite ja läheksite ning päriksite maa, mille Issand, teie vanemate Jumal, teile annab.

²You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish from it, that you may keep the commandments of Yahweh your God which I command you.

²Ärge lisage midagi sellele, milleks mina teid kohustan, ja ärge võtke midagi ära, vaid pidage Issanda, oma Jumala käske, mis mina teile annan!

³Your eyes have seen what Yahweh did because of Baal Peor; for all the men who followed Baal Peor, Yahweh your God has destroyed them from the midst of you.

³Teie silmad on näinud, mida Issand tegi Baal-Peoriga, sest igaühe, kes käis Baal-Peori järel, hävitas Issand, su Jumal, sinu keskelt.

⁴But you who were faithful to Yahweh your God are all alive this day.

⁴Aga teie, kes hoidsite Issanda, oma Jumala poole, olete tänapäeval kõik elus.

⁵Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Yahweh my God commanded me, that you should do so in the midst of the land where you go in to possess it.

⁵Vaata, ma olen teile õpetanud määrusi ja seadlusi, nagu Issand, mu Jumal, mind on käskinud, et te teeksite nõnda sellel maal, mida te lähete pärima.

⁶Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear all these statutes, and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”

⁶Pidage neid ja tehke nende järgi, sest see on teie tarkus ja teie mõistus rahvaste silmis, kes ütlevad kõiki neid seadusi kuuldes: 'See suur rahvas on tõesti tark ja mõistlik rahvas!'

⁷For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, as Yahweh our God is whenever we call on him?

⁷Sest kas on teist suurt rahvast, kellele jumalad on nii lähedal nagu Issand, meie Jumal, iga kord kui me teda hüüame?

⁸What great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

⁸Ja kas on teist suurt rahvast, kellel on nii õiglased määrused ja seadlused, nagu kogu see Seadus, mille ma täna panen teie ette?

⁹Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children;

⁹Ole ainult valvel ja hoia väga oma hinge, et sa ei unustaks neid asju, mida su silmad on näinud, ja et need ei lahkuks su südamest kogu su eluaja, ja kuuluta oma lastele ja lastelastele,

¹⁰the day that you stood before Yahweh your God in Horeb, when Yahweh said to me, “Assemble me the people, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.”

¹⁰mis sündis päeval, mil sa seisid Issanda, oma Jumala ees Hoorebil, kui Issand mulle ütles: 'Kogu mulle rahvas kokku ja ma annan neile kuulda oma sõnu, et nad õpiksid mind kartma, niikaua kui nad elavad maa peal, ja õpetaksid seda oma lastelegi.'

¹¹You came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.

¹¹Ja te astusite ligi ning seisite mäe all, mägi aga põles tules taeva südameni, ümber tume pilv ja pimedus.

¹²Yahweh spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: you heard the voice of words, but you saw no form; you only heard a voice.

¹²Ja Issand rääkis teiega tule keskelt. Te kuulsite sõnade kõla, aga te ei näinud kuju, oli ainult hääl.

¹³He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them on two tables of stone.

¹³Ja tema tegi teile teatavaks oma seaduse, mida ta käskis teid täita - need kümme käsku; ja ta kirjutas need kahele kivilauale.

¹⁴Yahweh commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it.

¹⁴Ja mind käskis Issand tol korral õpetada teile määrusi ja seadlusi, et te teeksite nende järgi sellel maal, mida te lähete pärima.

¹⁵Take therefore good heed to yourselves; for you saw no kind of form on the day that Yahweh spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire.

¹⁵Hoidke seepärast väga oma hingi, sest te ei näinud mingit kuju, siis kui Issand rääkis teiega Hoorebil tule keskelt,

¹⁶Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself an engraved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

¹⁶et te ei tee pahasti ega valmista enestele nikerdatud kuju, mõnda jumalakuju, mehe või naise kujutist,

¹⁷the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky,

¹⁷mõne maapealse looma kujutist, mõne taeva all lendava tiivulise linnu kujutist,

¹⁸the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth;

¹⁸mõne maad mööda roomaja kujutist, mõne kala kujutist, kes on maa all vees,

¹⁹and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the army of the sky, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Yahweh your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.

¹⁹ja et sa mitte, kui sa tõstad oma silmad taeva poole ja näed päikest ja kuud ja tähti, kogu taevaväge, ei lase ennast eksitada kummardama ja teenima neid, mis Issand, su Jumal, on andnud kõigile rahvaile kogu taeva all.

²⁰But Yahweh has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as at this day.

²⁰On ju Issand teid võtnud ja välja toonud rauasulatusahjust Egiptusest, et saaksite tema pärisrahvaks, nagu nüüd ongi sündinud.

²¹Furthermore Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance:

²¹Aga Issand vihastus mu peale teie pärast ja vandus, et mina ei lähe üle Jordani ega jõua sellele heale maale, mille Issand, su Jumal, annab sulle pärisosaks,

²²but I must die in this land, I must not go over the Jordan; but you shall go over, and possess that good land.

²²vaid et mina pean surema siin maal. Mina ei lähe üle Jordani, teie aga lähete ja pärite selle hea maa.

²³Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he made with you, and make you an engraved image in the form of anything which Yahweh your God has forbidden you.

²³Hoidke, et te ei unusta Issanda, oma Jumala seadust, mille ta andis teile, et te ei valmistaks endile nikerdatud kuju, ei mingit kujutist, mida Issand, su Jumal, sind on keelanud teha,

²⁴For Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.

²⁴sest Issand, su Jumal, on hävitav tuli, püha vihaga Jumal!

²⁵When you shall father children, and children’s children, and you shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make an engraved image in the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh your God, to provoke him to anger;

²⁵Kui sulle sünnib lapsi ja lapselapsi ja te ise saate maal vanaks, ja kui te siis toimite kõlvatult ja valmistate mingisuguse asja nikerdatud kuju ja teete, mis on paha Issanda, su Jumala silmis, ja vihastate teda,

²⁶I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over the Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

²⁶siis ma kutsun täna teie vastu tunnistajaiks taeva ja maa, et te tõesti varsti hävite sellelt maalt, mida te lähete pärima üle Jordani. Te ei ela seal kaua, vaid teid hävitatakse tõesti!

²⁷Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations, where Yahweh shall lead you away.

²⁷Issand pillutab teid rahvaste sekka ja teid jääb üle pisut inimesi rahvaste seas, kuhu Issand teid viib.

²⁸There you shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

²⁸Ja seal te teenite jumalaid, kes on inimese kätetöö, puu ja kivi, kes ei näe ega kuule, ei söö ega tunne lõhna.

²⁹But from there you shall seek Yahweh your God, and you shall find him, when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.

²⁹Siis te otsite sealt Issandat, oma Jumalat, ja sa leiad ta, kui sa teda otsid kõigest oma südamest ja kõigest oma hingest.

³⁰When you are in oppression, and all these things have come on you, in the latter days you shall return to Yahweh your God, and listen to his voice:

³⁰Kui sul on kitsas käes ja kõik need asjad tabavad sind tulevasil päevil, siis pöördud sa Issanda, oma Jumala poole ja kuulad tema häält.

³¹for Yahweh your God is a merciful God; he will not fail you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them.

³¹Sest Issand, su Jumal, on halastaja Jumal: ta ei jäta sind maha ega hävita sind, ja ta ei unusta lepingut su vanematega, mille ta neile vandega andis.

³²For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been anything as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?

³²Küsi ometi endistelt aegadelt, mis on olnud enne sind, alates päevast, mil Jumal lõi maa peale inimese, ja küsi taeva äärest ääreni, kas on kunagi sündinud niisugust suurt asja või kas on iganes kuuldud sellesarnast?

³³Did a people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?

³³Kas on ükski rahvas kuulnud Jumala häält rääkivat tule keskelt, nõnda nagu sina oled kuulnud, ja siiski jäänud elama?

³⁴Or has God tried to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

³⁴Või kas on mõni jumal üritanud tulla võtma enesele ühte rahvast teise rahva keskelt katsumiste, tunnustähtede ja imetegudega, sõja ja vägeva käe ja väljasirutatud käsivarre abil, ja suurte hirmutuste abil, nõnda nagu Issand, teie Jumal, tegi teiega Egiptuses sinu silma ees?

³⁵It was shown to you so that you might know that Yahweh is God. There is no one else besides him.

³⁵Sina ise oled seda näinud, et sa teaksid, et Issand on Jumal; ei ole ühtegi teist peale tema!

³⁶Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you: and on earth he made you to see his great fire; and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire.

³⁶Taevast on ta sind lasknud kuulda oma häält, et sind õpetada, ja maa peal on ta sulle näidanud oma suurt tuld, ja sa oled kuulnud tema sõnu tule keskelt.

³⁷Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt;

³⁷Sellepärast et ta armastas su vanemaid ja valis nende järglased pärast neid, ja et ta ise viis sind oma suure rammuga Egiptusest välja,

³⁸to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as at this day.

³⁸ajades su eest ära rahvad, suuremad ja vägevamad sinust, et sind viia ja sulle anda pärisosaks nende maa, nagu see tänapäeval on,

³⁹Know therefore this day, and lay it to your heart, that Yahweh he is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is none else.

³⁹siis tea täna ja talleta oma südames, et Issand on Jumal ülal taevas ja all maa peal, teist ei ole!

⁴⁰You shall keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command you this day, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land, which Yahweh your God gives you, forever.

⁴⁰Ja sa pead pidama tema seadlusi ja käske, mis ma täna sulle annan, et sinul ja su lastel pärast sind võiks olla hea põli ja et sa võiksid pikendada oma päevi sellel maal, mille Issand, su Jumal, annab sulle igaveseks!'

⁴¹Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;

⁴¹Siis Mooses valis kolm linna teisel pool Jordanit, päikesetõusu pool,

⁴²that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unawares, and didn’t hate him in time past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:

⁴²et sinna võiks põgeneda tapja, kes oma ligimese on tapnud kogemata ja ilma teda varem vihkamata; põgenedes ühte neist linnadest, ta võib jääda elama:

⁴³Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.

⁴³Beser kõrbes, lagedal maal, ruubenlastele, Raamot Gileadis gaadlastele ja Goolan Baasanis manasselastele.

⁴⁴This is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:

⁴⁴See on see Seadus, mille Mooses esitas Iisraeli lastele,

⁴⁵these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt,

⁴⁵need on need tunnistused, määrused ja seadlused, mis Mooses andis Iisraeli lastele, kui nad Egiptusest olid lahkunud,

⁴⁶beyond the Jordan, in the valley over against Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel struck, when they came forth out of Egypt.

⁴⁶teisel pool Jordanit orus Beet-Peori kohal, emorlaste kuninga Siihoni maal, kes elas Hesbonis, keda Mooses ja Iisraeli lapsed lõid, kui nad Egiptusest lahkusid.

⁴⁷They took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;

⁴⁷Nad vallutasid tema maa ja Baasani kuninga Oogi maa, kahe emorlaste kuninga maa, kes olid teisel pool Jordanit, päikesetõusu pool,

⁴⁸from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, even to Mount Sion (the same is Hermon),

⁴⁸alates Aroerist, mis on Arnoni jõe ääres, ja kuni Siioni mäeni, see on Hermonini,

⁴⁹and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.

⁴⁹ja kogu lausikmaa teisel pool Jordanit, ida pool, ja kuni lausikmaa mereni Pisgaa järsaku all.
