¹Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

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

²My doctrine shall drop as the rain. My speech shall condense as the dew, as the small rain on the tender grass, as the showers on the herb.

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.

³For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh. Ascribe greatness to our God!

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

⁴The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice: a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is he.

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

⁵They have dealt corruptly with him. They are not his children, because of their defect. They are a perverse and crooked generation.

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

⁶Do you thus requite Yahweh, foolish people and unwise? Isn’t he your father who has bought you? He has made you, and established you.

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.

⁷Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.

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

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.

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

⁹For Yahweh’s portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

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

¹⁰He found him in a desert land, in the waste howling wilderness. He surrounded him. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple of his eye.

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

¹¹As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings, he took them, he bore them on his feathers.

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

¹²Yahweh alone led him. There was no foreign god with him.

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

¹³He made him ride on the high places of the earth. He ate the increase of the field. He caused him to suck honey out of the rock, oil out of the flinty rock;

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

¹⁴Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the finest of the wheat. Of the blood of the grape you drank wine.

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.

¹⁵But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he forsook God who made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

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.

¹⁶They moved him to jealousy with strange gods. They provoked him to anger with abominations.

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

¹⁷They sacrificed to demons, not God, to gods that they didn’t know, to new gods that came up recently, which your fathers didn’t dread.

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

¹⁸Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God who gave you birth.

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

¹⁹Yahweh saw and abhorred, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.

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

²⁰He 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.

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

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

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.

²²For a fire is kindled in my anger, Burns to the lowest Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , Devours the earth with its increase, and sets the foundations of the mountains on fire.

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.

²³“I will heap evils on them. I will spend my arrows on them.

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

²⁴They shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat and bitter destruction. I will send the teeth of animals on them, With the poison of crawling things of the dust.

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.

²⁵Outside the sword shall bereave, and in the rooms, terror; on both young man and virgin, The nursing infant with the gray-haired man.

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

²⁶I said, I would scatter them afar. I would make their memory to cease from among men;

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

²⁷were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge wrongly, lest they should say, ‘Our hand is exalted, Yahweh has not done all this.’”

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.

²⁸For they are a nation void of counsel. There is no understanding in them.

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

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

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

³⁰How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had delivered them up?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

³³Ich víno jedom drakov a strašným jedom ľútych hadov.

³⁴“Isn’t this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?

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

³⁵Vengeance is mine, and recompense, at the time when their foot slides; for the day of their calamity is at hand. The things that are to come on them shall make haste.”

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

³⁶For Yahweh will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, There is none remaining, shut up or left at large.

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.

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

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

³⁸Which ate 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.

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!

³⁹“See now that I, even I, am he, There is no god with me. I kill, and I make alive. I wound, and I heal. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand.

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.

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

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

⁴¹if I whet my glittering sword, My hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my adversaries, and will recompense those who hate me.

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

⁴²I will make my arrows drunk with blood. My sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the head of the leaders of the enemy.”

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

⁴³Rejoice, you nations, with his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants. He will render vengeance to his adversaries, And will make expiation for his land, for his people.

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

⁴⁴Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun.

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

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

⁴⁵A keď dohovoril Mojžiš všetky tie slová celému Izraelovi,

⁴⁶He said to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you this day, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

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.

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

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.

⁴⁸Yahweh spoke to Moses that same day, saying,

⁴⁸A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi toho istého dňa a riekol:

⁴⁹“Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession;

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.

⁵⁰and die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was gathered to his people:

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,

⁵¹because you trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you didn’t sanctify me in the midst of the children of Israel.

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

⁵²For you shall see the land before you; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel.”

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