¹You shall observe to do all the commandment which I command you this day, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers.

¹Vso zapoved, ki ti jo danes zapovedujem, hrani in izpolnjuj, da bi živeli in se množili ter šli v deželo in se je polastili, ki jo je prisegel GOSPOD vašim očetom.

²You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.

²In spominjaj se vsega pota, po katerem te je vodil GOSPOD, tvoj Bog, teh štirideset let po puščavi, da bi te ponižal in izkusil, da spozna, kaj je v tvojem srcu, ali boš držal njegove zapovedi ali ne.

³He humbled you, and allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh.

³In poniževal te je in te vodil v lakoto; in živil te je z mano, ki je nisi poznal ne ti, ne očetje tvoji, da ti pokaže, da ne živi človek ob samem kruhu, temuč ob vsem, kar prihaja iz ust Božjih.

⁴Your clothing didn’t grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.

⁴Obleka se ni prestarala na tebi in noga ti ni otekla teh štirideset let.

⁵You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so Yahweh your God chastens you.

⁵Spoznaj torej v srcu svojem, da te strahuje GOSPOD, tvoj Bog, kakor strahuje mož svojega sina.

⁶You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

⁶In drži zapovedi GOSPODA, Boga svojega, hodeč po njegovih potih in boječ se njega.

⁷For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;

⁷Zakaj GOSPOD, tvoj Bog, te pelje v dobro deželo, v deželo potokov, studencev in jezer, ki izvirajo po dolinah in gorah,

⁸a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;

⁸v deželo, kjer je dosti pšenice in ječmena, vinske trte in smokovih dreves in margaranovih jabolk, v deželo, kjer je obilo oljk in medú,

⁹a land in which you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.

⁹v deželo, kjer ne boš jedel kruha po siromaško, kjer ti ničesar ne bo manjkalo; v deželo, katere kameni so železo in ki iz njenih gorá lahko koplješ rude.

¹⁰You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which he has given you.

¹⁰In ko boš jedel in se nasitil, hvali GOSPODA, Boga svojega, za to dobro deželo, ki ti jo je dal.

¹¹Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you this day:

¹¹Varuj se, da ne pozabiš GOSPODA, Boga svojega, da ne bi držal njegovih zapovedi, sodb in postav, ki ti jih danes zapovedujem;

¹²lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived therein;

¹²da se ti ne bo, ko boš jedel in se nasitil, sezidal lepih hiš in v njih prebival,

¹³and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;

¹³ko se ti pomnoži goved in drobnica ter poobili srebro in zlato ter poveča vse imetje tvoje,

¹⁴then your heart be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;

¹⁴da se ti ne bo prevzelo srce in pozabiš GOSPODA, Boga svojega, ki te je odpeljal iz dežele Egiptovske, iz hiše sužnosti;

¹⁵who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint;

¹⁵ki te je vodil po puščavi, veliki in grozoviti, kjer so ognjene kače in škorpijoni, žejna tla, a vode nobene; ki ti je dal vodo iz kremenite skale,

¹⁶who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end:

¹⁶ki te je živil v puščavi z mano, ki je niso poznali očetje tvoji, da te poniža in izkusi, da bi ti dobro storil v tvoji prihodnosti –

¹⁷and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.”

¹⁷in ti bi govoril v srcu svojem: Moja moč in mojih rok krepkost mi je pridobila tole bogastvo!

¹⁸But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day.

¹⁸Ampak spominjaj se GOSPODA, Boga svojega, zakaj on je, ki ti podeljuje moč, da pridobiš bogastvo, da potrdi, kakor danes, zavezo svojo, ki jo je prisegel tvojim očetom.

¹⁹It shall be, if you shall forget Yahweh your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.

¹⁹Ako pa pozabiš GOSPODA, svojega Boga, in boš hodil za tujimi bogovi in jim služil ter jih molil, pričam zoper vas danes, da gotovo poginete;kakor narodi, ki jih GOSPOD daje v pogubo pred vami, enako poginete vi, ker niste hoteli poslušati glasu GOSPODA, svojega Boga.

²⁰As the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you wouldn’t listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.

²⁰kakor narodi, ki jih GOSPOD daje v pogubo pred vami, enako poginete vi, ker niste hoteli poslušati glasu GOSPODA, svojega Boga.
