¹These are the words of the covenant which Yahweh commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which 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.

²Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, You have seen all that Yahweh did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, 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 which your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders:

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

⁴but Yahweh has not given you a heart to know, 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.

⁵I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes have not grown old on you, and your shoes have not grown old on your feet.

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

⁶You have not eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or strong drink; that you may know that I am Yahweh your God.

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

⁷When you came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, and we struck 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.

⁹Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.

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

¹⁰You stand this day all of you before Yahweh your God; your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even 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 your foreigner who is in the midst of your camps, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your 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 you may enter into the covenant of Yahweh your God, and into his oath, which Yahweh your God makes with you 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 you this day to himself for a people, and that he may be to you a God, as he spoke to you, and as he swore to your 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 who stands here with us this day before Yahweh our God, and also with him who 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 you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed;

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

¹⁷and you 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 turns away this day from Yahweh our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears 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 happen, when he hears 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 destroy the moist with the dry.”

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.

²⁰Yahweh will not pardon him, but then the anger of Yahweh and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie on him, and Yahweh will blot out his name from under the sky.

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.

²¹Yahweh will set him apart to evil 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,

²²The generation to come, your children who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner who shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses with which Yahweh has made it sick;

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,

²³and that the whole land of it is sulfur, salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which Yahweh overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

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 the nations shall say, “Why has Yahweh done thus to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?”

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

²⁵Then men shall say, “Because they forsook the covenant of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, which he 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 went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods that they didn’t know, and that he had not given to them:

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

²⁷therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled against this land, to bring on 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 Yahweh rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as at 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 secret things belong to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may 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.
