¹Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it;

¹To pa so zapovedi, postave in sodbe, ki jih je GOSPOD, Bog vaš, zapovedal učiti vas, da bi jih izpolnjevali v deželi, ki greste vanjo jo obvladat,

²that you might fear Yahweh your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

²da bi se bali GOSPODA, Boga svojega, izpolnjujoč vse postave in zapovedi njegove, ki ti jih zapovedujem, ti in otroci tvoji in otrok tvojih otroci, vse svoje žive dni, in da bi se podaljšali tvoji dnevi.

³Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

³Poslušaj torej, Izrael, in pazi, da izpolnjuješ, da bi se ti dobro godilo, da se silno pomnožite, kakor ti je obljubil GOSPOD, tvojih očetov Bog, v deželi, v kateri teče mleko in med.

⁴Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God; Yahweh is one:

⁴Poslušaj, Izrael: GOSPOD, naš Bog, je edini GOSPOD.

⁵and you shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

⁵Zato ljubi GOSPODA, svojega Boga, iz vsega srca svojega in iz vse duše svoje in iz vse moči svoje.

⁶These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your heart;

⁶In te besede, ki ti jih danes zapovedujem, naj bodo v tvojem srcu.

⁷and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

⁷In marljivo jih uči otroke svoje ter govori o njih, sedeč v svojem domu in hodeč po poti, ko ležeš in ko vstaneš.

⁸You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes.

⁸In priveži si jih za znamenje na roko in naj ti bodo kakor čelno vezilo med očmi.

⁹You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates.

⁹Zapiši jih na podboje hiše svoje in na vrata svoja.

¹⁰It shall be, when Yahweh your God shall bring you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you didn’t build,

¹⁰Ko te torej GOSPOD, Bog tvoj, pripelje v deželo, ki je zanjo prisegel tvojim očetom, Abrahamu, Izaku in Jakobu, da ti jo da: velika in lepa mesta, ki jih nisi zidal,

¹¹and houses full of all good things, which you didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out, which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you didn’t plant, and you shall eat and be full;

¹¹in hiše, vsega dobrega polne, ki jih nisi napolnil, in izkopane vodnjake, ki jih nisi izkopal, vinograde in oljkova drevesa, ki jih nisi zasadil, in ko boš od tega jedel in se nasitil:

¹²then beware lest you forget Yahweh, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

¹²varuj se, da ne pozabiš GOSPODA, ki te je odpeljal iz Egipta, iz hiše sužnosti.

¹³You shall fear Yahweh your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.

¹³GOSPODA, Boga svojega, se boj in njemu služi in pri njegovem imenu prisegaj.

¹⁴You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you;

¹⁴Nikar ne hodite za drugimi bogovi, za bogovi tistih ljudstev, ki so okoli vas;

¹⁵for Yahweh your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; lest the anger of Yahweh your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.

¹⁵zakaj Bog mogočni, gorečnik, je GOSPOD, Bog tvoj, sredi tebe, da se ne vname srd GOSPODA, tvojega Boga, zoper tebe in te ne zatare s površja zemlje.

¹⁶You shall not tempt Yahweh your God, as you tempted him in Massah.

¹⁶Ne izkušajte GOSPODA, Boga svojega, kakor ste ga izkušali v Masi.

¹⁷You shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.

¹⁷Resno pazi na zapovedi GOSPODA, svojega Boga, in na njegova pričevanja in postave, ki ti jih je ukazal.

¹⁸You shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Yahweh; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which Yahweh swore to your fathers,

¹⁸In delaj, kar je pravično in dobro v očeh GOSPODOVIH, da se ti bo dobro godilo ter pojdeš in posedeš dobro deželo, ki jo je prisegel GOSPOD tvojim očetom,

¹⁹to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has spoken.

¹⁹ko preženeš vse sovražnike svoje pred seboj, kakor je govoril GOSPOD.

²⁰When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh our God has commanded you mean?”

²⁰Ko te sin tvoj povpraša v prihodnje in poreče: Kaj so tista pričevanja in postave in sodbe, ki vam jih je ukazal GOSPOD, Bog naš?

²¹then you shall tell your son, “We were Pharaoh’s bondservants in Egypt: and Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;

²¹reci sinu svojemu: Sužnji smo bili Faraonu v Egiptu, a GOSPOD nas je izpeljal iz Egipta z mogočno roko;

²²and Yahweh showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

²²in GOSPOD je delal znamenja in čudeže, velike in pogubne, pri Faraonu in vsej hiši njegovi pred našimi očmi,

²³and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.

²³in nas je izpeljal odondod, da bi nas privedel v deželo ter nam jo dal, ki je zanjo prisegel našim očetom.

²⁴Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day.

²⁴In GOSPOD nam je zapovedal, da izpolnjujmo vse te postave, da se bojmo GOSPODA, Boga svojega, nam v dobro vse dni, da bi nas ohranil v življenju, kakor se vidi današnji dan.In to nam bode pravičnost, ako bomo pazili, da izpolnimo vso to zapoved pred GOSPODOM, Bogom svojim, kakor nam je zapovedal.

²⁵It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us.”

²⁵In to nam bode pravičnost, ako bomo pazili, da izpolnimo vso to zapoved pred GOSPODOM, Bogom svojim, kakor nam je zapovedal.
