¹Hear, Israel: you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,

¹Poslušaj, Izrael: ti pojdeš v tem času čez Jordan, da v posest vzameš last narodov, večjih in močnejših od tebe, velika, do neba obzidana mesta;

²a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, “Who can stand before the sons of Anak?”

²veliko in visoke postave ljudstvo, sinove Enakimov, ki jih poznaš in si o njih slišal: Kdo more stati pred Enakovimi sinovi?

³Know therefore this day, that Yahweh your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you: so you shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Yahweh has spoken to you.

³Danes torej vedi, da GOSPOD, tvoj Bog, gre pred teboj kot požigajoč ogenj: on jih potere in on jih potlači pred teboj, ti pa jih preženeš in v kratkem pokončaš, kakor ti je govoril GOSPOD.

⁴Don’t say in your heart, after Yahweh your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, “For my righteousness Yahweh has brought me in to possess this land”; because Yahweh drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.

⁴Ko pa jih prepodi GOSPOD, tvoj Bog, pred teboj, nikar si ne govori v srcu: Zaradi moje pravičnosti me je vpeljal sem GOSPOD, da obvladam to deželo; ker zaradi brezbožnosti teh narodov jih prežene GOSPOD pred teboj.

⁵Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

⁵A ne zaradi svoje pravičnosti in srca svojega poštenosti pojdeš tja, da dobiš v last njih deželo, marveč zaradi brezbožnosti teh narodov jih izžene GOSPOD, tvoj Bog, pred teboj ter da bi potrdil besedo, ki jo je prisegel tvojim očetom, Abrahamu, Izaku in Jakobu.

⁶Know therefore, that Yahweh your God doesn’t give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.

⁶Vedi torej, da ti nikakor ne da GOSPOD, tvoj Bog, te dobre dežele v posest zaradi tvoje pravičnosti, zakaj trdovratno ljudstvo si ti.

⁷Remember, don’t forget, how you provoked Yahweh your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you went forth out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yahweh.

⁷Spominjaj se, ne pozabi, kako si v puščavi dražil v jezo GOSPODA, svojega Boga: od dne, ko ste odšli iz dežele Egiptovske, in dokler ste potovali na ta kraj, ste bili uporni GOSPODU.

⁸Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry with you to destroy you.

⁸Tudi na Horebu ste razdražili v jezo GOSPODA, in GOSPOD se je razsrdil na vas, da vas je hotel pokončati:

⁹When I was gone up onto the mountain to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which Yahweh made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water.

⁹Ko sem bil šel na goro, da prejmem kameneni plošči, plošči zaveze, ki jo je GOSPOD sklenil z vami, sem ostal na gori štirideset dni in štirideset noči; kruha nisem jedel in vode nisem pil.

¹⁰Yahweh delivered to me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them were all the words which Yahweh spoke with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

¹⁰In GOSPOD mi je izročil dve kameneni plošči, popisani z Božjim prstom; in pisano je bilo na njiju soglasno z vsemi besedami, ki jih je vam GOSPOD govoril na gori iz sredi ognja v dan zbora.

¹¹It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yahweh gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

¹¹Ko je minilo štirideset dni in štirideset noči, mi da GOSPOD tisti kameneni plošči, plošči zaveze.

¹²Yahweh said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.”

¹²In GOSPOD mi reče: Vstani, hitro pojdi doli odtod; zakaj tvoje ljudstvo, ki si ga izpeljal iz Egipta, se je skazilo. Hitro so zašli s pota, ki sem ga jim zapovedal: naredili so si ulito podobo.

¹³Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying, “I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people:

¹³Dalje mi je govoril GOSPOD takole: Videl sem to ljudstvo, in glej, trdovratno ljudstvo je;

¹⁴let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.”

¹⁴pusti mi, da jih pokončam in izbrišem njih ime izpod neba; tebe pa hočem storiti v narod močnejši in večji, nego so oni.

¹⁵So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

¹⁵Obrnil sem se torej in stopal doli z gore, gora pa je z ognjem gorela, in tisti dve plošči zaveze sem držal z obema rokama:

¹⁶I looked, and behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God; you had made yourselves a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you.

¹⁶In pogledam, in glej, pregrešili ste se zoper GOSPODA, svojega Boga, ko ste si naredili ulito tele; hitro ste zašli s pota, ki vam ga je zapovedal GOSPOD.

¹⁷I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.

¹⁷Tedaj zgrabim tisti plošči ter ju vržem iz rok, in razbil sem ju pred vašimi očmi.

¹⁸I fell down before Yahweh, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water; because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger.

¹⁸In padel sem pred GOSPODOM in ležal kakor poprej štirideset dni in štirideset noči: kruha nisem jedel in vode nisem pil zaradi vseh vaših grehov, s katerimi ste se pregrešili, ker ste storili, kar je zlo v očeh GOSPODOVIH, da ga dražite v jezo.

¹⁹For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which Yahweh was angry against you to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me that time also.

¹⁹Zakaj bal sem se srda in togote, s katero se je jezil GOSPOD nad vami, hoteč vas pokončati. Ali GOSPOD me je uslišal tudi to pot.

²⁰Yahweh was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

²⁰Tudi nad Aronom se je srdil GOSPOD silno, hoteč ga pokončati; in molil sem tudi za Arona tisti čas.

²¹I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.

²¹In vzamem vaš greh, tele, ki ste ga naredili, in ga sežgem v ognju in razbijem na kosce ter vsega strem, da je bil drobičken prah, in prah vržem v potok, ki teče z gore.

²²At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked Yahweh to wrath.

²²Tudi v Taberi, v Masi in pri Grobeh poželjivosti ste dražili GOSPODA v jezo.

²³When Yahweh sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, “Go up and possess the land which I have given you”; then you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you didn’t believe him, nor listen to his voice.

²³In ko vas je GOSPOD poslal iz Kades-barnee, rekoč: Pojdite gori, pripravite v svojo last deželo, ki sem vam jo dal, ste se uprli povelju GOSPODA, svojega Boga, in niste mu verovali in niste poslušali njegovega glasu.

²⁴You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you.

²⁴Uporni ste bili GOSPODU od dne, odkar vas poznam.

²⁵So I fell down before Yahweh the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Yahweh had said he would destroy you.

²⁵Padel sem torej in ležal pred GOSPODOM tistih štirideset dni in štirideset noči, ker je bil rekel GOSPOD, da vas pokonča.

²⁶I prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Lord Yahweh, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

²⁶In molil sem h GOSPODU in dejal: Gospod Jehova, ne pogubi ljudstva svojega in dediščine svoje, ki si jo odkupil po velikosti svoji, ki si jo izpeljal iz Egipta z mogočno roko.

²⁷Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; don’t look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin,

²⁷Spomni se svojih hlapcev, Abrahama, Izaka in Jakoba; ne oziraj se na trdokornost tega ljudstva, na njih brezbožnost in greh;

²⁸lest the land you brought us out from say, ‘Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’

²⁸da se ne bo govorilo v deželi, odkoder si nas izpeljal: Ker jih GOSPODU ni bilo moči privesti v deželo, katero jim je obljubil, in ker jih je sovražil, jih je izpeljal, da jih pobije v puščavi.Saj ljudstvo so tvoje in dediščina tvoja, ki si jo izpeljal z veliko svojo močjo in z iztegnjeno ramo svojo.

²⁹Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.”

²⁹Saj ljudstvo so tvoje in dediščina tvoja, ki si jo izpeljal z veliko svojo močjo in z iztegnjeno ramo svojo.
