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.
1A teraz, Izraelu, počúvaj na ustanovenia a na súdy, ktoré vás ja učím činiť, aby ste žili a vošli a dedične zaujali zem, ktorú vám dáva Hospodin, Bôh vašich otcov.
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.
2Nepridáte k slovu, ktoré vám ja prikazujem, ani neujmete ničoho z neho, ostríhajúc prikázania Hospodina, svojho Boha, ktoré vám ja prikazujem.
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.
3Vaše vlastné oči videly to, čo učinil Hospodin pre Bál-peora, že každého človeka, ktorý išiel za Bál-peorom, zahladil Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, z tvojho stredu.
4But you who were faithful to Yahweh your God are all alive this day.
4A vy, ktorý ste sa pridŕžali Hospodina, svojho Boha, ste všetci živí dnes.
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.
5Hľaď, učil som vás ustanoveniam a súdom, tak ako prikázal Hospodin, môj Bôh, aby ste tak činili v zemi, do ktorej idete, aby ste ju zaujali dedične.
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.”
6A tedy budete ostríhať a budete činiť, lebo to je vaša múdrosť a vaša rozumnosť pred očima národov, ktoré keď počujú všetky tieto ustanovenia, povedia: Je to len naozaj múdry ľud a rozumný, tento veliký národ!
7For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, as Yahweh our God is whenever we call on him?
7Lebo kde máš nejaký veliký národ, ktorý by mal bohov takých blízkych sebe, jako je Hospodin náš Bôh, blízky nám, kedykoľvek a o čokoľvek voláme k nemu!
8What great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
8Alebo kde máš ktorý veliký národ, ktorý by mal také spravedlivé ustanovenia a súdy, jako je celý tento zákon, ktorý ja dnes predkladám pre vás?!
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;
9Len sa maj na pozore a veľmi ostríhaj svoju dušu, aby si nezabudol vecí, ktoré videly tvoje oči, a aby neuhli z tvojho srdca po všetky dni tvojho života, a oznámiš ich svojim synom i synom svojich synov.
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.”
10Najmä nezabudni na deň, ktorého si stál pred Hospodinom, svojím Bohom, na Horebe, keď mi povedal Hospodin: Shromaždi mi ľud, a dám, aby počuli moje slová, ktorým sa budú učiť, aby sa báli po všetky dni, dokiaľ len budú žiť na zemi, a budú učiť aj svojich synov.
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.
11Vtedy ste sa priblížili a stáli ste pod vrchom, ktorý horel ohňom až hore do samého neba, a bola na ňom tma, oblak a mrákava.
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.
12A Hospodin vám hovoril zprostred ohňa; hlas slov ste počuli, ale nevideli ste nijakej podoby, krome čo ste počuli hlas.
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.
13Oznámil vám svoju smluvu, ktorú vám prikázal činiť, desať slov, a napísal ich na dve kamenné dosky.
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.
14A mne prikázal Hospodin toho času, aby som vás učil ustanoveniam a súdom, aby ste ich činili v zemi, do ktorej idete, hen na druhú stranu, nato, aby ste ju zaujali dedične.
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.
15Pozorujte veľmi na svoje duše, lebo ste nevideli nijakej podoby v deň, v ktorý vám hovoril Hospodin na Horebe zprostred ohňa.
16Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself an engraved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
16Aby ste sa neporušili a neučinili si nejakej rytiny, podoby nejakého obrazu, nech už by bol jakýkoľvek, nejakej podobizne muža alebo ženy,
17the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky,
17podobizne nejakého hoväda, jakéhokoľvek, ktoré je na zemi; ani podobizne nejakého vtáka s krýdlami, ktorý lieta v povetrí;
18the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth;
18nijakej podobizne nijakého zemeplaza, ktorý sa plazí po zemi; nijakej podobizne ryby, ktorá je vo vode pod zemou.
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.
19A aby si nepozdvihol svojich očí k nebesiam a keby si videl slnko, mesiac a hviezdy, všetko vojsko nebies, aby si nebol pohnutý k tomu, že by si sa im klaňal a slúžil im, ktoré to veci udelil Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, všetkým národom pod celým nebom.
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.
20Ale vás vzal Hospodin a vyviedol vás zo železnej pece, z Egypta, aby ste mu boli ľudom dedičstva, jako je tomu dnes.
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:
21Ale Hospodin sa nahneval na mňa pre vás a prisahal, že neprejdem cez Jordán a že nevojdem do tej krásnej zeme dobrej, ktorú Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, dáva tebe do dedičstva.
22but I must die in this land, I must not go over the Jordan; but you shall go over, and possess that good land.
22Lebo ja zomriem v tejto zemi, neprejdem cez Jordán, ale vy prejdete a zaujmete tú krásnu zem dobrú do dedičstva.
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.
23Vystríhajte sa, aby ste nezabudli na smluvu Hospodina, svojho Boha, ktorú učinil s vami, a učinili by ste si nejakú rytinu, podobu nejakej veci, nech už by bola jakákoľvek, čo ti zakázal Hospodin, tvoj Bôh.
24For Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
24Lebo Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, je spaľujúci oheň, silný Bôh horlivý.
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;
25Keď splodíš synov a vnukov, a zostariete sa v zemi, a zkazíte sa a učiníte si rytinu nejakej podoby, podoby čohokoľvek, a budete robiť to zlé v očiach Hospodina, tvojho Boha, aby ste ho popudzovali k hnevu,
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.
26už dnes volám nebesia i zem za svedkov proti vám vyhlasujúc vám, že istotne rýchle zahyniete s povrchu zeme, do ktorej pojdete cez Jordán, aby ste ju zaujali dedične. Nebudete dlho žiť na nej, lebo istotne budete vyhladení.
27Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations, where Yahweh shall lead you away.
27Hospodin vás rozptýli medzi národy, a pozostane vás malý počet medzi pohanskými národami, kam vás zavedie Hospodin.
28There you shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
28A tam budete slúžiť bohom, dielu rúk človeka, drevu a kameňu, ktoré ani nevidia ani nečujú ani nejedia ani nečuchajú.
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.
29Ale ak budete odtiaľ hľadať Hospodina, svojho Boha, najdeš, keď ho budeš hľadať celým svojím srdcom a celou svojou dušou,
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:
30keď ti raz bude úzko, a keď prijdú na teba všetky tieto veci, v posledných dňoch, a keď sa navrátiš k Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, a budeš počúvať na jeho hlas.
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.
31Lebo Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, je silný Bôh ľútostivý; neopustí ťa ani ťa nezkazí ani nezabudne na smluvu tvojich otcov, ktorú im prisahal.
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?
32Lebo veď sa len pýtaj na prvé, dávne dni, ktoré boly pred tebou, odo dňa, ktorého stvoril Bôh človeka na zemi, a to od jedného konca nebies až po druhý koniec nebies, či sa voľakedy stala nejaká taká veľká vec ako toto, alebo či aj len bolo voľakedy slýchať niečo také?
33Did a people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
33Či počul voľakedy niektorý ľud hlas Boha, hovoriaceho zprostred ohňa, ako si ty počul a bol by predsa žil?
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?
34Alebo či sa voľakedy pokúsil nejaký boh, aby prijdúc vzal sebe národ zprostred iného národa zkúšaním, znameniami a zázrakmi, vojnou a silnou rukou a vystretým ramenom a strašnými vecami veľkými, jaké bolo všetko to, čo učinil Hospodin, váš Bôh, pre vás v Egypte pred tvojimi očima?
35It was shown to you so that you might know that Yahweh is God. There is no one else besides him.
35Tebe to bolo ukázané nato, aby si vedel, že Hospodin je Bôh, a že niet iného krome neho.
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.
36Z neba ti dal počuť svoj hlas, aby ťa vyučil, a na zemi ti dal vidieť svoj veľký oheň, a jeho slová si počul zprostred ohňa.
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;
37A preto, že miloval tvojich otcov, vyvolil si ich semeno po nich a vyviedol ťa svojou tvárou a svojou veľkou silou z Egypta,
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.
38aby vyhnal národy, väčšie a mocnejšie ako si ty, zpred tvojej tvári a aby teba ta voviedol a dal ti ich zem do dedičstva, jako je tomu dnes.
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.
39A tedy máš vedieť dnes a vezmeš si to k srdcu, že Hospodin je Bôh na nebi hore i na zemi dole a niet iného.
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.
40A tedy budeš ostríhať jeho ustanovenia a jeho prikázania, ktoré ti ja dnes prikazujem, aby bolo dobre tebe i tvojim synom po tebe, a aby si dlho žil na zemi, ktorú ti dáva Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, a tedy ich budeš ostríhať po všetky dni.
41Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;
41Vtedy oddelil Mojžiš tri mestá za Jordánom, na východe slnka,
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:
42aby sa ta utiekol vrah, ktorý by zabil svojho blížneho znenazdania a ktorý ho predtým nemal v nenávisti, a tedy sa utečie do niektorého z tých miest a bude žiť,
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.
43oddelil Bécer na púšti, na rovinastej zemi, Rúbenovcom, a Rámot v Gileáde, Gádovcom, a Gólan v Bázane, Manassesovcom.
44This is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
44To je zákon, ktorý predložil Mojžiš synom Izraelovým,
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,
45a to sú svedoctvá, ustanovenia a súdy, ktoré hovoril Mojžiš synom Izraelovým, keď vyšli z Egypta,
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.
46za Jordánom, na doline, naproti Bét-peoru, v zemi Síchona, amorejského kráľa, ktorý býval v Chešbone, ktorého porazil Mojžiš a synovia Izraelovi, keď vyšli z Egypta.
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;
47A zaujali jeho zem do dedičstva jako i zem Óga, bázanského kráľa, dvoch amorejských kráľov, ktorí vládli za Jordánom, na východe slnka,
48from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, even to Mount Sion (the same is Hermon),
48od Aroera, ktoré leží na brehu potoka Arnona, až po vrch Sion, to jest Hermon,
49and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.
49i celú rovinu za Jordánom na východ až po more Araby, pod Ašdót-pizgou.
