¹When Yahweh your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before you, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than you;

¹Kui Issand, su Jumal, viib sind sellele maale, mida sa lähed pärima, ja ta ajab sinu eest ära paljud rahvad: hetid, girgaaslased, emorlased, kaananlased, perislased, hiivlased ja jebuuslased, seitse rahvast, suuremad ja vägevamad sinust,

²and when Yahweh your God shall deliver them up before you, and you shall strike them; then you shall utterly destroy them: you shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them;

²ja kui Issand, su Jumal, annab nad sinu kätte ja sa lööd neid, siis hävita nad sootuks: ära tee nendega lepingut ja ära anna neile armu!

³neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.

³Ja ära saa nendega langudeks; oma tütart ära anna tema pojale ja tema tütart ära võta oma pojale,

⁴For he will turn away your son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so the anger of Yahweh would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.

⁴sest ta ahvatleb su poja loobuma minu järelt ja teenima teisi jumalaid. Siis süttib Issanda viha põlema teie vastu ja ta hävitab sind kiiresti.

⁵But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, and dash their pillars in pieces, and cut down their Asherim, and burn their engraved images with fire.

⁵Aga talitage nendega nõnda: kiskuge maha nende altarid, purustage nende ebaususambad, raiuge katki nende viljakustulbad ja põletage tules nende jumalakujud!

⁶For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God: Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.

⁶Sest sa oled Issandale, oma Jumalale, pühitsetud rahvas; Issand, su Jumal, on sind valinud olema temale omandrahvaks kõigist rahvaist, kes maa peal on.

⁷Yahweh didn’t set his love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples:

⁷Mitte, et te olete suurim kõigist rahvaist, ei ole Issand teid eelistanud ja valinud, ei, te olete ju väikseim kõigist rahvaist,

⁸but because Yahweh loves you, and because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, has Yahweh brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

⁸vaid sellepärast et Issand teid armastas ja tahtis pidada vannet, mille ta oli andnud teie vanemaile, tõi Issand teid vägeva käega välja ja lunastas sind orjusekojast vaarao, Egiptuse kuninga käest.

⁹Know therefore that Yahweh your God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,

⁹Ja tea, et Issand, su Jumal, on Jumal, ustav Jumal, kes lepingut peab ja heldust osutab tuhandenda põlveni neile, kes teda armastavad ja tema käske peavad,

¹⁰and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him who hates him, he will repay him to his face.

¹⁰aga kes tasub oma vihkajaile otsemaid, hävitades nemad; ta ei viivita oma vihkaja ees, vaid tasub temale kohe.

¹¹You shall therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command you this day, to do them.

¹¹Pea seepärast neid käske, määrusi ja seadlusi, mis ma täna sulle annan, et sa neid täidaksid!

¹²It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers:

¹²Ja kui te võtate kuulda neid seadusi ja peate neid ja teete nende järgi, siis peab Issand, su Jumal, sinuga lepingut ja osutab heldust, mida ta su vanemaile on vandega tõotanud.

¹³and he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.

¹³Ja tema armastab sind ja õnnistab sind ning teeb sind paljuks; ta õnnistab su ihusugu ja su maa vilja, su teravilja, su veinivirret ja su õli, su veiste poegimist ning su lammaste ja kitsede kasvatust sellel maal, mille ta vandega su vanemaile on tõotanud sulle anda.

¹⁴You shall be blessed above all peoples: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock.

¹⁴Õnnistatud oled sa rohkem kui kõik rahvad: ei ole su hulgas sigimatut, ei meest ega naist, ka mitte su loomade hulgas!

¹⁵Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, he will put on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you.

¹⁵Ja Issand võtab sinult ära kõik haigused ega pane su peale ainsatki Egiptuse kurjadest taudidest, mida sa tunned, vaid laseb need osaks saada kõigile, kes sind vihkavad.

¹⁶You shall consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God shall deliver to you; your eye shall not pity them: neither shall you serve their gods; for that will be a snare to you.

¹⁶Ja hävita ära kõik rahvad, keda Issand, su Jumal, sulle annab; su silm ärgu andku neile armu! Ja sa ei tohi teenida nende jumalaid, sest see saaks sulle püüdepaelaks!

¹⁷If you shall say in your heart, “These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?”

¹⁷Kui sa ütled oma südames: Need rahvad on minust suuremad, kuidas ma suudan nad ära ajada?

¹⁸you shall not be afraid of them: you shall well remember what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt;

¹⁸Ära siiski karda neid; tuleta ikka meelde, mida Issand, su Jumal, tegi vaaraole ja kõigile egiptlastele,

¹⁹the great trials which your eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which Yahweh your God brought you out: so shall Yahweh your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.

¹⁹neid suuri katsumusi, mida sa nägid oma silmaga, ja tunnustähti ja imetegusid, ja vägevat kätt ja väljasirutatud käsivart, millega Issand, su Jumal, tõi sind välja. Nõnda teeb Issand, sinu Jumal, kõigile neile rahvastele, keda sa kardad.

²⁰Moreover Yahweh your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you.

²⁰Samuti läkitab Issand, su Jumal, neile masenduse, kuni on kadunud need, kes on järele jäänud, ja need, kes endid on sinu eest peitnud.

²¹You shall not be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is in the midst of you, a great and awesome God.

²¹Ära kohku nende ees, sest Issand, sinu Jumal, on su keskel, suur ja kardetav Jumal!

²²Yahweh your God will cast out those nations before you by little and little: you may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.

²²Issand, su Jumal, ajab need rahvad su eest ära vähehaaval; sa ei tohi neid kiiresti hävitada, et sulle ei sigineks palju metsloomi.

²³But Yahweh your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they be destroyed.

²³Issand, su Jumal, annab nad su kätte ja viib nad suurde segadusse, kuni nad hävitatakse.

²⁴He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name to perish from under the sky: no man shall be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them.

²⁴Ta annab nende kuningad su kätte ja sa pead kaotama nende nimed taeva alt; ükski ei saa seista sinu vastu, kuni sa nad hävitad.

²⁵You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God.

²⁵Nende jumalakujud põletage tules; ära himusta hõbedat ja kulda nende pealt ja ära võta seda enesele, et sind sellega ei võrgutataks, sest see on jäledus Issandale, su Jumalale!

²⁶You shall not bring an abomination into your house, and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.

²⁶Ära vii niisugust jäledust oma kotta, et sinagi ei saaks neetuks nagu see; sa pead seda ülimalt põlgama ja jälestama, sest see on neetud asi!
