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

¹Poslušajte, nebesa, ker hočem govoriti, in zemlja naj čuje moj ih ust besede!

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.

²Kaplja naj kot dež nauk moj, pada liki rosa govor moj, kakor pršica na mlado travo, kakor moča na zelenjavo,

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

³kajti oznanjati hočem ime GOSPODOVO. Priznajte velikost našemu Bogu!

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

⁴On je Skala, njegovo delo je popolno, ker vse poti njegove so pravica; mogočen Bog zvestobe je, krivičnosti ni v njem, pravičen in resničen je.

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

⁵Popačeno so ravnali ž njim, ne kot njegovi otroci, madež je na njih: izprijen rod so in zvit.

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.

⁶Ali tako povračaš GOSPODU, o neumno in nespametno ljudstvo? Ni li on oče tvoj, ki si te je pridobil? On te je naredil in te utrdil.

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.

⁷Spomni se starodavnih dni, pomisli na leta minulih rodov! Vprašaj očeta svojega, on ti oznani, starce svoje, in ti povedo!

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.

⁸Ko je Najvišji delil narodom dediščino, ko je razdruževal človeške otroke, je določil meje ljudstvom po številu Izraelovih sinov.

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

⁹Zakaj GOSPODOV delež je ljudstvo njegovo, Jakob je njemu odmerjena dediščina.

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.

¹⁰Našel ga je v deželi puščave, v pustinji, v tuljenju divjega kraja; obdal ga je, pazil je nanj, varoval ga je kakor očesa svojega punčico.

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.

¹¹Kakor orel izpodbuja k letanju gnezdnike svoje in nad svojimi mladiči leta, razprostira peruti svoje, jih nanje jemlje in jih nosi na krilih svojih:

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

¹²tako ga je GOSPOD sam vodil in ni bilo ž njim tujega boga nobenega.

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 je, da jezdi čez višine dežele, in jedel je sadove polja, in dal mu je srkati med iz skale in olje iz kremenja;

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 goved in mleko od ovac, s tolstino jagnjet pitanih in ovnov, basanskih sinov, in kozličev z najboljšim jedrom pšenice; tudi si pil grozdovo kri, vino močno.

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.

¹⁵In Ješurun je odebelel in je brcal; odebelil si se in izpital in močan si postal – tedaj je zapustil Boga, ki ga je ustvaril, in za malo je štel Skalo rešenja svojega.

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

¹⁶Razvnemali so ga s tujimi bogovi, z gnusobami so ga dražili v jezo.

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.

¹⁷Darovali so hudim duhovom, ki niso Bog, bogovom, ki jih niso poznali, novim bogovom, ki so pred kratkim nastopili, ki se jih niso bali vaši očetje.

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

¹⁸Vnemar si pustil Skalo, ki te je plodila, in Boga mogočnega, ki te je rodil, si pozabil.

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

¹⁹In GOSPOD je videl, in jih je zavrgel, vznevoljen nad sinovi in hčerami svojimi.

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.

²⁰Rekel je: Skriti jim hočem obličje svoje, gledal bom, kaj bode njih konec; ker so silno popačen rod, otroci, ki ni v njih nič vere.

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.

²¹Razvneli so me s tistim, kar ni Bog mogočni, dražili so me v jezo z ničemurnostmi svojimi: tudi jaz jih razvnamem s tistimi, ki niso ljudstvo, razdražim jih z nespametnim poganskim narodom.

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.

²²Kajti ogenj se je vnel po mojem srdu in bo gorel do najspodnjega pekla, in požre zemljo z obrodkom njenim in vžge podstave gorá.

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

²³Nakopičim nadnje nesreče; pšice svoje uporabim proti njim.

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.

²⁴Obnemorejo od lakote, požre jih vročica in strupena kuga; pošljem mednje zobe zverin in strup tistih, ki se plazijo po prahu.

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

²⁵Zunaj jih naj mori meč in v hišah strah, mladeniča in devico, dojenca in starca.

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

²⁶Rekel bi: Razpihnem jih, izbrišem njih spomin med ljudmi,

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.’”

²⁷ako bi se ne bal sovražnikove žalitve, da ne bi njih zatiralci napak umeli, da ne bi govorili: Naša roka je vzvišena in GOSPOD ni vsega tega storil.

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

²⁸Zakaj narod so, ki si ne zna svetovati, in razumnosti ni v njih.

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

²⁹O da bi bili modri, bi bili razumeli to, pomislili bi bili zadnji konec svoj!

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?

³⁰Kako bi mogel eden poditi jih tisoč in dva pognati v beg deset tisoč? Ne li zato, ker jih je prodala njih Skala in jih sovražnikom izročil GOSPOD?

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

³¹Ni namreč njih skala kakor naša Skala; sovražniki naši sami naj to presodijo!

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

³²Zakaj njih vinska trta je od trte sodomske in s poljan Gomorskih: njih grozdje je strupeno grozdje, trpke so njih jagode.

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

³³Njih vino je kakor zmajev sline in grozoviti strup gadov.

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

³⁴Ni li to shranjeno pri meni, zapečateno med mojimi zakladi?

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.”

³⁵Moje je maščevanje, jaz povrnem ob času, ko jim opolzne noga: kajti blizu je dan njih pogube, in kar jim je določeno, pride hitro.

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.

³⁶Zakaj GOSPOD se potegne za pravdo svojega ljudstva, in hlapcev svojih se usmili, ko uvidi, da je pošla njih moč in da nikogar ni več, ne uklenjenega, ne prostega.

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

³⁷In poreče: Kje so njih bogovi, skala, h kateri so pribegali?

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.

³⁸ki so jedli njih žrtev tolstino in pili njih pitnih daritev vino? Vstanejo naj in vam pomorejo, bodo naj vam pokrovitelji!

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.

³⁹Poglejte zdaj, da jaz, jaz sem vedno isti ter da ni boga zraven mene: jaz umorim in oživim, jaz udarim in ozdravim, in ni ga, ki bi otel iz moje roke.

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

⁴⁰Kajti roko svojo dvigam proti nebu in pravim: Vekomaj živim!

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.

⁴¹Kadar nabrusim bliskavi meč svoj in roka moja seže po sodbi, se bom maščeval nad nasprotniki svojimi in povrnem sovražilcem svojim.

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.”

⁴²Upijanim pšice svoje s krvjo in meč moj bo žrl meso – s krvjo ubitih in ujetih, z glave vojvod sovražnikovih.

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.

⁴³Veselite se, poganski narodi, z ljudstvom njegovim! zakaj on bo maščeval kri svojih hlapcev in osveto povrne svojim nasprotnikom, in izvrši poravnavo za deželo svojo, za ljudstvo svoje.

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

⁴⁴In prišel je Mojzes ter govoril vse besede te pesmi na ušesa ljudstvu, on in Jozue, sin Nunov.

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

⁴⁵In ko je do konca izgovoril vse te besede vsemu Izraelu,

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.

⁴⁶jim reče: Vtisnite si v srce vse besede, ki vam jih danes izpričujem; zato da zapoveste otrokom svojim, da hranijo in izpolnjujejo vse besede tega zakona.

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.”

⁴⁷Zakaj to ni prazna beseda za vas, marveč to je vaše življenje, in po tej besedi boste podaljšali svoje dni v zemlji, v katero greste čez Jordan, da jo posedete.

⁴⁸Yahweh spoke to Moses that same day, saying,

⁴⁸In GOSPOD je govoril Mojzesu tisti dan, rekoč:

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;

⁴⁹Pojdi na to gorovje Abarim, na goro Nebo, ki je v deželi Moabski nasproti Jerihu, in poglej deželo Kanaansko, ki jo dam v lastnino sinovom Izraelovim,

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:

⁵⁰in umri na gori, na katero pojdeš, in boš zbran k svojemu ljudstvu, kakor je umrl Aron, tvoj brat, na gori Horu in je bil zbran k ljudstvu svojemu;

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.

⁵¹zato ker sta mi bila nezvesta med sinovi Izraelovimi pri Vodi prepira v Kadesu v Zinski puščavi, ker me nista svetega izkazala sredi sinov Izraelovih.Pred seboj boš pač videl deželo, ki jo dajem sinovom Izraelovim, ali tja v deželo samo ne prideš.

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

⁵²Pred seboj boš pač videl deželo, ki jo dajem sinovom Izraelovim, ali tja v deželo samo ne prideš.
