¹Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.

¹A Mojžiš odišiel a hovoril tieto slová všetkému Izraelovi.

²He said to them, “I am one hundred twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: and Yahweh has said to me, ‘You shall not go over this Jordan.’

²A povedal im: Je mi dnes stodvadsať rokov; nebudem už viacej môcť vyjsť a vojsť a tak byť vaším vodcom. A Hospodin mi tiež povedal: Neprejdeš za tento Jordán.

³Yahweh your God, he will go over before you; he will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua shall go over before you, as Yahweh has spoken.

³Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, on pojde pred tebou, on vyhladí tie národy zpred tvojej tvári, a zaujmeš ich do dedičstva. Jozua pojde pred tebou, tak ako hovoril Hospodin.

⁴Yahweh will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land; whom he destroyed.

⁴A Hospodin im učiní, jako učinil Síchonovi a Ógovi, kráľom Amoreja, a ich zemi, ktorých vyhladil.

⁵Yahweh will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.

⁵Hospodin ich vydá pred vami, aby boli porazení, a učiníte im podľa každého prikázania, ktoré som vám prikázal.

⁶Be strong and courageous, don’t be afraid, nor be scared of them: for Yahweh your God, he it is who does go with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you.”

⁶Buďte zmužilí a silní, nebojte sa a nedeste sa pred nimi, lebo Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, ide s tebou; neopustí ťa ani ťa nezanechá.

⁷Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous: for you shall go with this people into the land which Yahweh has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it.

⁷A Mojžiš zavolal Jozuu a povedal mu pred očami celého Izraela: Buď zmužilý a silný, lebo ty vojdeš s týmto ľudom do zeme, ktorú s prísahou sľúbil Hospodin ich otcom povediac, že im ju dá, a ty im ju rozdelíš do dedičstva.

⁸Yahweh, he it is who does go before you; he will be with you, he will not fail you, neither forsake you: don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed.”

⁸A Hospodin, on pojde pred tebou, on bude s tebou, neopustí ťa ani ťa nezanechá. Nebudeš sa báť ani sa nebudeš strachovať!

⁹Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and to all the elders of Israel.

⁹A Mojžiš napísal tento zákon a dal ho kňazom, synom Léviho, ktorí nosili truhlu smluvy Hospodinovej, a všetkým starším Izraelovým.

¹⁰Moses commanded them, saying, “At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of tents,

¹⁰A Mojžiš im prikázal a riekol: Na konci siedmich rokov, na výročnú slávnosť roku úpustu, na sviatok stánov,

¹¹when all Israel has come to appear before Yahweh your God in the place which he shall choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

¹¹keď prijde celý Izrael ukázať sa pred Hospodinom, tvojím Bohom, na mieste, ktoré si vyvolí, budeš čítať tento zákon pred celým Izraelom, v ich uši.

¹²Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and your foreigner who is within your gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Yahweh your God, and observe to do all the words of this law;

¹²Shromaždi ľud, mužov i ženy i deti i svojho pohostína, ktorý je v tvojich bránach, aby počuli a aby sa učili a aby sa báli Hospodina, vášho Boha, a budú ostríhať, aby činili všetky slová tohoto zákona.

¹³and that their children, who have not known, may hear, and learn to fear Yahweh your God, as long as you live in the land where you go over the Jordan to possess it.”

¹³Aj ich synovia, ktorí ešte neznajú toho, budú počúvať a budú sa učiť báť sa Hospodina, vášho Boha, po všetky dni, ktoré budete žiť na zemi, do ktorej idete cez Jordán, aby ste ju zaujali do dedičstva.

¹⁴Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, your days approach that you must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him.” Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.

¹⁴A Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi: Hľa, priblížily sa tvoje dni, aby si zomrel. Povolaj Jozuu a postavte sa v stáne shromaždenia, a prikážem mu. Vtedy išiel Mojžiš a Jozua a postavili sa v stáne shromaždenia.

¹⁵Yahweh appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud: and the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the Tent.

¹⁵A Hospodin sa ukázal v stáne v oblakovom stĺpe, a oblakový stĺp stál nad dverami stánu.

¹⁶Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers; and this people will rise up, and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land, where they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

¹⁶A Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi: Hľa, budeš ležať so svojimi otcami, a tento ľud vstane a bude smilniť idúc za bohmi cudzincov, obyvateľov zeme, do ktorej ide, aby žil medzi nimi, a opustí ma a zruší moju smluvu, ktorú som učinil s ním.

¹⁷Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Haven’t these evils come on us because our God is not among us?’

¹⁷Preto sa môj hnev zapáli na neho toho dňa, a opustím ich a skryjem pred nimi svoju tvár, a bude na zožranie, a prijdú naň mnohé zlé veci a úzkosti, a povie toho dňa: Či neprišly na mňa tieto zlé veci preto, že nie je môjho Boha v mojom strede?

¹⁸I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they shall have worked, in that they are turned to other gods.

¹⁸A ja istotne skryjem svoju tvár toho dňa pre všetko to zlé, ktoré páchal, keď sa obrátil k iným bohom.

¹⁹“Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

¹⁹A tak teraz si napíšte túto pieseň, a nauč ju synov Izraelových, vlož ju do ich úst, aby mi bola táto pieseň za svedka proti synom Izraelovým.

²⁰For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.

²⁰Lebo ho dovediem do zeme, ktorú som prisahal jeho otcom, ktorá tečie mliekom a medom, a keď bude jesť a nasýti sa a stučneje, obráti sa k iným bohom, a budú im slúžiť a budú ma popudzovať k hnevu a zrušia moju smluvu.

²¹It shall happen, when many evils and troubles have come on them, that this song shall testify before them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they frame this day, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.”

²¹A stane sa, keď prijdú na neho mnohé zlé veci a úzkosti, že táto pieseň bude svedčiť pred ním ako svedok, lebo nebude zabudnutá ani neodíde od úst jeho semena, lebo viem, čo myslí a čo bude robiť ešte dnes, prv ako ho vovediem do zeme, ktorú som mu prisahal.

²²So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.

²²A Mojžiš napísal túto pieseň toho istého dňa a učil ju synov Izraelových.

²³He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, “Be strong and courageous; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them: and I will be with you.”

²³A Hospodin prikázal i Jozuovi, synovi Núnovmu, a riekol: Buď zmužilý a silný, lebo ty vovedieš synov Izraelových do zeme, ktorú som im prisahal, a ja budem s tebou.

²⁴It happened, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,

²⁴A stalo sa, keď dopísal Mojžiš slová tohoto zákona do knihy až do posledného slova,

²⁵that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, saying,

²⁵že prikázal, Mojžiš, Levitom, ktorí nosili truhlu smluvy Hospodinovej, a povedal:

²⁶“Take this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, that it may be there for a witness against you.

²⁶Vezmite túto knihu zákona a položte ju po strane truhly smluvy Hospodina, svojho Boha, a bude tam proti tebe za svedka.

²⁷For I know your rebellion, and your stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, you have been rebellious against Yahweh; and how much more after my death?

²⁷Lebo ja znám tvoju spúru a tvoju tvrdú šiju. Hľa, kým ešte žijem dnes s vami, spierali ste sa proti Hospodinovi, a čo len bude potom, keď zomriem!

²⁸Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them.

²⁸Shromaždite ku mne všetkých starších svojich pokolení a svojich správcov a budem hovoriť tieto slová do ich uší a zavolám proti nim za svedkov nebesia i zem.

²⁹For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will happen to you in the latter days; because you will do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.”

²⁹Lebo viem, že sa veľmi porušíte po mojej smrti a vybočíte z cesty, ktorú som vám prikázal, pre čo prijde na vás to zlé v neskorších dňoch, keď budete robiť to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, popudzujúc ho dielom svojich rúk.

³⁰Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished.

³⁰A Mojžiš hovoril v uši celého shromaždenia Izraelovho slová tejto piesne až do posledného slova.
