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;

¹Keď ťa vovedie Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, do zeme, do ktorej ideš, aby si ju zaujal do dedičstva, a vyplieni mnohé národy zpred tvojej tvári, Heteja, Gergezeja, Amoreja, Kananeja, Ferezeja, Heveja a Jebuzeja, sedem národov, väčších čo do počtu a mocnejších, ako si ty.

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;

²A Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, ich vydá pred tebou, a pobiješ ich; istotne ich vyhladíš zarieknuc ich na úplnú záhubu; neučiníš s nimi smluvy ani sa nezľutuješ nad nimi.

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.

³Ani sa s nimi nedáš ženbou do rodiny alebo vydajom; svojej dcéry nedáš jeho synovi ani jeho dcéry nevezmeš svojmu synovi.

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.

⁴Lebo by odvrátil tvojho syna, takže by ma nenasledoval, ale by slúžili iným bohom, a zanietil by sa na vás hnev Hospodinov a vyhladil by ťa rýchle.

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.

⁵Ale im takto učiníte: ich oltáre rozboríte, ich modlárske stĺpy skrúšite, ich háje zosekáte a ich rytiny spálite ohňom.

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.

⁶Lebo ty si svätý ľud Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu. Teba si vyvolil Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, aby si mu bol ľudom zvláštneho vlastníctva nad všetky národy, ktoré sú na tvári zeme.

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:

⁷Nie preto, že by vás bolo viac ako ktoréhokoľvek iného národa, priľnul k vám Hospodin a vyvolil si vás, lebo vás bolo menej od všetkých iných národov.

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.

⁸Ale preto, že vás miloval Hospodin a že zachoval prísahu, ktorú prisahal vašim otcom, vyviedol vás Hospodin silnou rukou a vyslobodil ťa z domu sluhov, z ruky faraona, egyptského kráľa.

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,

⁹A budeš vedieť, že Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, je Bôh a že je silný Bôh verný, ktorý ostríha smluvu a milosť tým, ktorí ho milujú a ktorí ostríhajú jeho prikázania, do tisíceho pokolenia

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.

¹⁰a ktorý odpláca tým, ktorí ho nenávidia, každému do jeho tvári tak, aby ho zahubil. Nebude čakať tomu, kto ho nenávidí, do jeho tvári mu zaplatí.

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

¹¹Preto budeš ostríhať prikázanie, ustanovenia a súdy, ktoré ti ja dnes prikazujem, aby si ich činil.

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:

¹²A stane sa za to, že budete počúvať tieto súdy a budete ich ostríhať a činiť, že Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, bude ostríhať tebe smluvu a milosť, čo prisahal tvojim otcom.

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.

¹³a bude ťa milovať a požehná ťa a rozmnoží ťa, a požehná plod tvojho života a plod tvojej zeme, tvoje obilie a tvoju vínnu šťavu a tvoj olej, plod tvojich hoviad, matky tvojho drobného stáda na zemi, ktorú prisahal tvojim otcom, že ti ju dá.

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

¹⁴Budeš požehnaný nad všetky národy; nebude u teba neplodného ani neplodnej, ani medzi tvojím dobytkom.

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.

¹⁵Hospodin odstráni od teba každú nemoc a všetky zlé neduhy egyptské, ktoré znáš; nevzloží ich na teba, ale ich dá na všetkých tých, ktorí ťa nenávidia.

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.

¹⁶A stráviš všetky národy, ktoré ti dá Hospodin, tvoj Bôh. Nezľutuje sa tvoje oko nad nimi, a nebudeš slúžiť ich bohom, lebo by ti to bolo osídlom.

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

¹⁷Keby si povedal vo svojom srdci: Tieto národy sú čo do počtu väčšie, ako som ja, ako ich budem môcť vyhnať?

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

¹⁸Nebudeš sa ich báť, ale dozaista budeš pamätať na to, čo učinil Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, faraonovi, a všetkým Egypťanom.

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.

¹⁹na tie veliké zkúšky, ktoré videly tvoje oči, tie znamenia a tie zázraky a tú presilnú ruku a to vystreté rameno, ktorým ťa vyviedol Hospodin, tvoj Bôh. Tak učiní Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, všetkým národom, ktorých by si sa ty bál.

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

²⁰Ba ešte len aj sršne pošle Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, na nich, dokiaľ len nezahynú aj tí, ktorí pozostali, a ktorí sa skryli pred tebou.

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

²¹Netras sa pred nimi, lebo Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, je v tvojom strede, silný Bôh veľký a strašný.

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.

²²A Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, vyplieni tie národy zpred tvojej tvári po kuse; nebudeš ich môcť vyhladiť narýchle, aby sa nerozmnožila na teba poľná zver.

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

²³Avšak Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, ich vydá pred tvojou tvárou a bude ich desiť veľkým desením, dokiaľ nebudú vyhladení.

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.

²⁴A ich kráľov dá do tvojej ruky, a vyhubíš ich meno zpod nebies; nikto neobstojí pred tebou, dokiaľ ich len nezahladíš.

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.

²⁵Rytiny ich bohov popálite ohňom: nepožiadaš striebra ani zlata, ktoré je na nich, a nevezmeš si ho, aby si sa nezaplietol do toho jako do osídla, lebo je to ohavnosťou Hospodinovi, tvojmu Bohu.

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.

²⁶A nevnesieš ohavnosti do svojho domu, aby si nebol tiež prekliaty na úplnú záhubu jako ono; oškliviť sa ti to bude, a bude ti to ohavnosťou, lebo je to prekliate na úplnú záhubu.
