Второзаконие 4
Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
Увещания на Мойсей за послушание към Бога
4 (A)Сега слушай, Израилю, наредбите и законите, които ви уча да спазвате, за да живеете и да влезете и наследите страната, която ви дава Господ, Бог на предците ви! 2 (B)Не трябва да прибавяте нищо към това, което ви заповядвам, нито да отнемате от него. Пазете заповедите на Господа, вашия Бог, които ви заповядвам! 3 (C)Очите ви видяха какво стори Господ заради Ваал-Фегор; защото Господ, вашият Бог, изтреби всеки сред вас, който беше последвал Ваал-Фегор. 4 А вие, които се придържахте към Господа, вашия Бог, всички сте живи и днес.
5 Ето аз ви научих на наредби и закони, така както Господ, моят Бог, ми заповяда, за да живеете според тях в страната, в която влизате, за да я владеете. 6 Затова спазвайте ги и ги изпълнявайте! В това са вашата мъдрост и благоразумие пред народите – да чуят за всички тези наредби и да рекат: ‘Само този велик народ е мъдър и разумен народ!’ 7 (D)Защото има ли някой велик народ, към който боговете му да са тъй близо, както е близък към нас Господ, нашият Бог, когато и да Го призовем? 8 Има ли някой велик народ с такива справедливи наредби и закони, какъвто е целият този закон, който днес излагам пред вас?
9 (E)Само пази себе си и се погрижи за душата си, да не забравиш делата, които са видели твоите очи. Нека те останат в твоето сърце до края на дните ти и напомняй за тях на синовете си и на внуците си! 10 (F)Напомняй им за деня, в който ти стоеше пред Господа, своя Бог, на Хорив, когато Господ ми каза: ‘Събери при Мене народа и Аз ще им възвестя Своите думи, за да се научат да се боят от Мене през всичките дни на своя земен живот и да учат синовете си на това!’ 11 Вие се приближихте и застанахте в подножието на планината; планината гореше в огън до небесата, а навред тъмнина, облаци и мрак. 12 (G)Тогава Господ ви говори изсред огъня. Вие чувахте екот и думи, ала образ не виждахте; чувахте само как думите отекват. 13 (H)И Той ви възвести завета Си, който ви заповяда да изпълнявате – десетте заповеди, и ги написа на две каменни плочи. 14 Тогава Господ ми заповяда да ви науча на наредбите и законите, за да ги изпълнявате в страната, в която влизате, за да я завладеете.
15 И така, внимавайте добре за себе си, понеже в деня, когато Господ ви говори на Хорив изсред огъня, вие образ не видяхте! 16 (I)Затова бягайте от покварата и не си правете идол, образ на някакъв кумир, подобие на мъж или жена, 17 подобие на някакъв звяр по земята, подобие на някаква птица перната, която лети в небето, 18 подобие на някаква твар, която пълзи по земята, подобие на някаква риба във водите на земните недра. 19 (J)Ако пък отправиш взор към небето и видиш слънцето, месечината, звездите и цялото небесно множество, не се подвеждай да им се кланяш и да им служиш, защото Господ, твоят Бог, ги е отредил за всички народи под цялото небе! 20 (K)А вас Господ взе и ви изведе от желязната пещ, от Египет, за да бъдете народ, който е Негов дял, както е и днес.
21 (L)Но Господ се разгневи на мене заради вас и се закле да не премина Йордан и да не вляза в хубавата страна, която Господ, твоят Бог, ти дава като дял. 22 Аз ще умра в тази страна, аз няма да премина Йордан. Но вие ще преминете и ще завладеете онази хубава страна. 23 Гледайте да не забравите завета на Господа, вашия Бог, който Той сключи с вас, и да не си правите идоли, образ на нещо, което Господ, твоят Бог, ти е забранил; 24 (M)защото Господ, твоят Бог, е огън всепоглъщащ, Той е Бог ревнив!
25 Ако пък ти се родят синове и внуци и живеете дълго на земята, ако поквара ви обземе и направите идол, образ на нещо, вършите зло пред очите на Господа и Го разгневите, 26 (N)то призовавам днес небето и земята да свидетелстват против вас, че наистина скоро ще бъдете изличени от страната, която отивате да наследите отвъд Йордан. Дълго в нея няма да останете, а ще бъдете напълно изтребени. 27 (O)И ще ви разпилее Господ сред народите, малцина от вас ще оцелеят сред народите, при които Господ ви отведе. 28 (P)Там вие ще служите на богове, дело на човешка ръка, от дърво и камък, които нито виждат, нито чуват, нито ядат, нито помирисват. 29 (Q)Но и оттам ще търсите Господ, вашия Бог. И ще Го намери всеки, който Го търси от все сърце и душа, 30 (R)попаднал в нещастие. И когато в сетни дни те сполети всичко това, ти ще се обърнеш към Господа, твоя Бог, и ще послушаш гласа Му. 31 (S)Господ, твоят Бог, е Бог милостив. Той няма да те изостави, няма да те погуби и няма да забрави завета, за който е дал клетва на предците ти.
32 Защото разпитай за отминалите времена, които са били преди тебе, от деня, когато Бог сътвори човека на земята, разпитай от единия край на небето до другия: ставало ли е нещо толкова велико или чувало ли се е нещо, подобно на това? 33 (T)Чувал ли е някой народ Божия глас да говори изсред огън, както ти си чул, и да остане жив? 34 (U)Или опитвал ли се е някой бог да отиде и да си вземе народ изсред друг народ чрез изпитания, знамения и чудеса, чрез война, силна ръка, високо вдигната десница и дела, които всяват ужас, както стори за вас Господ, вашият Бог, в Египет пред очите ти? 35 (V)На тебе е отредено да видиш това, за да знаеш, че само Господ е Бог и няма друг освен Него. 36 (W)От небето Той ти даде да чуеш гласа Му, за да те научи, а на земята ти показа великия Си огън и ти чу думите Му изсред огъня. 37 И понеже Той обикна предците ти и избра вас, потомците им след тях, Сам те изведе с голямата Си сила от Египет, 38 (X)за да прогони пред тебе народи, по-големи и по-силни от тебе, да те въведе в земята им и да ти я даде в наследство, както стана днес. 39 (Y)И така, знай сега и приеми в сърцето си, че Господ е Бог на небето горе и на земята долу; и няма друг! 40 И спазвай наредбите Му и заповедите Му, които днес ти давам, за да ти бъде добре на тебе и на потомците ти след тебе и да живееш дълго в страната, която Господ, твоят Бог, ти дава завинаги.“
41 (Z)Тогава Мойсей отдели три града отвъд Йордан, откъм изгрева на слънцето, 42 за да търси убежище там онзи, който неволно убие ближния си, без да го е мразил преди – ако потърси убежище в един от тези градове, да остане жив. 43 Те са: Бецер в пустинята на равнината за Рувимовите синове, Рамот в Галаад за Гадовите синове и Голан във Васан за Манасиевите синове.
Втора реч на Мойсей
Синайският Завет и Десетте Божии заповеди
44 А ето закона, който Мойсей изложи пред израилтяните; 45 ето заповедите, наредбите и законите, които Мойсей изрече пред израилтяните, след като излязоха от Египет. 46 (AA)Това стана отвъд Йордан, в долината срещу Бет-Фегор, в страната на аморейския цар Сихон, който живееше в Есевон. Него Мойсей и израилтяните разбиха, след като излязоха от Египет. 47 Те превзеха страната му и страната на Ог – двамата аморейски царе отвъд Йордан, откъм изгрева на слънцето, 48 от Ароер, на брега на река Арнон, до планината Сион – това е Ермон, – 49 а също и цялата равнина отвъд Йордан на изток до самото море на равнината в подножието на Фасга.
Deuteronomy 4
New King James Version
Moses Commands Obedience
4 “Now, O Israel, listen to (A)the statutes and the judgments which I teach you to observe, that you may live, and go in and [a]possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers is giving you. 2 (B)You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. 3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did at (C)Baal Peor; for the Lord your God has destroyed from among you all the men who followed Baal of Peor. 4 But you who held fast to the Lord your God are alive today, every one of you.
5 “Surely I have taught you statutes and judgments, just as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should act according to them in the land which you go to possess. 6 Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is (D)your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’
7 “For (E)what great nation is there that has (F)God[b] so near to it, as the Lord our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him? 8 And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this law which I set before you this day? 9 Only take heed to yourself, and diligently (G)keep yourself, lest you (H)forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And (I)teach them to your children and your grandchildren, 10 especially concerning (J)the day you stood before the Lord your God in Horeb, when the Lord said to me, ‘Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.’
11 “Then you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire to the midst of heaven, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness. 12 (K)And the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but saw no [c]form; (L)you only heard a voice. 13 (M)So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, (N)the Ten Commandments; and (O)He wrote them on two tablets of stone. 14 And (P)the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that you might [d]observe them in the land which you cross over to possess.
Beware of Idolatry
15 (Q)“Take careful heed to yourselves, for you saw no (R)form when the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, 16 lest you (S)act corruptly and (T)make for yourselves a carved image in the [e]form of any figure: (U)the likeness of male or female, 17 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth or the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air, 18 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground or the likeness of any fish that is in the water beneath the earth. 19 And take heed, lest you (V)lift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, (W)all the host of heaven, you feel driven to (X)worship them and serve them, which the Lord your God has [f]given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage. 20 But the Lord has taken you and (Y)brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be (Z)His people, an inheritance, as you are this day. 21 Furthermore (AA)the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that (AB)I would not cross over the Jordan, and that I would not enter the good land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance. 22 But (AC)I must die in this land, (AD)I must not cross over the Jordan; but you shall cross over and [g]possess (AE)that good land. 23 Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, (AF)and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the Lord your God has forbidden you. 24 For (AG)the Lord your God is a consuming fire, (AH)a jealous God.
25 “When you beget children and grandchildren and have grown old in the land, and act corruptly and make a carved image in the form of anything, and (AI)do evil in the sight of the Lord your God to provoke Him to anger, 26 (AJ)I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you will soon utterly perish from the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess; you will not [h]prolong your days in it, but will be utterly destroyed. 27 And the Lord (AK)will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord will drive you. 28 And (AL)there you will serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, (AM)which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell. 29 (AN)But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you are in [i]distress, and all these things come upon you in the (AO)latter days, when you (AP)turn to the Lord your God and obey His voice 31 (for the Lord your God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor (AQ)destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them.
32 “For (AR)ask now concerning the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask (AS)from one end of heaven to the other, whether any great thing like this has happened, or anything like it has been heard. 33 (AT)Did any people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live? 34 Or did God ever try to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, (AU)by trials, (AV)by signs, by wonders, by war, (AW)by a mighty hand and (AX)an outstretched arm, (AY)and by great [j]terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? 35 To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord Himself is God; (AZ)there is none other besides Him. 36 (BA)Out of heaven He let you hear His voice, that He might instruct you; on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire. 37 And because (BB)He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their [k]descendants after them; and (BC)He brought you out of Egypt with His Presence, with His mighty power, 38 (BD)driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is this day. 39 Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that (BE)the Lord Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other. 40 (BF)You shall therefore keep His statutes and His commandments which I command you today, that [l]it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may [m]prolong your days in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for all time.”
Cities of Refuge East of the Jordan
41 Then Moses (BG)set apart three cities on this side of the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun, 42 (BH)that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unintentionally, without having hated him in time past, and that by fleeing to one of these cities he might live: 43 (BI)Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau for the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites.
Introduction to God’s Law
44 Now this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel. 45 These are the testimonies, the statutes, and the judgments which Moses spoke to the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt, 46 on this side of the Jordan, (BJ)in the valley opposite Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel (BK)defeated[n] after they came out of Egypt. 47 And they took possession of his land and the land (BL)of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, who were on this side of the Jordan, toward the [o]rising of the sun, 48 (BM)from Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, even to Mount [p]Sion (that is, (BN)Hermon), 49 and all the plain on the east side of the Jordan as far as the Sea of the Arabah, below the (BO)slopes of Pisgah.

English Standard Version
Moses Commands Obedience
4 “And now, O Israel, listen to (A)the statutes and the rules[a] that I am teaching you, and do them, (B)that you may live, and go in and take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you. 2 (C)You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you. 3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did (D)at Baal-peor, for the Lord your God destroyed from among you all the men who followed the Baal of Peor. 4 But you who held fast to the Lord your God are all alive today. 5 See, I have taught you statutes and rules, as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should do them in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. 6 (E)Keep them and do them, for (F)that will be your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ 7 For (G)what great nation is there that has (H)a god so near to it as the Lord our God is to us, whenever we call upon him? 8 And what great nation is there, that has statutes and rules so (I)righteous as all this law that I set before you today?
9 (J)“Only take care, and (K)keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. (L)Make them known to your children and your children's children— 10 how on (M)the day that you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, the Lord said to me, (N)‘Gather the people to me, that I may let them hear my words, (O)so that they may learn to fear (P)me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children so.’ 11 And (Q)you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, while (R)the mountain burned with fire to the heart of heaven, wrapped in darkness, cloud, and gloom. 12 Then (S)the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of words, (T)but saw no form; (U)there was only a voice. 13 (V)And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, that is, (W)the Ten Commandments,[b] (X)and he wrote them on two tablets of stone. 14 And (Y)the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and rules, that you might do them in the land that you are going over to possess.
Idolatry Forbidden
15 (Z)“Therefore watch yourselves very carefully. Since (AA)you saw no form on the day that the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, 16 beware (AB)lest you act corruptly (AC)by making a carved image for yourselves, in the form of any figure, (AD)the likeness of male or female, 17 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air, 18 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth. 19 And beware lest you raise your eyes to heaven, and when you see (AE)the sun and the moon and the stars, (AF)all the host of heaven, you be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, things that the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven. 20 But the Lord has taken you and (AG)brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, (AH)to be a people of his own inheritance, as you are this day. 21 Furthermore, (AI)the Lord was angry with me because of you, and he swore that I should not cross the Jordan, and that I should not enter the good land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance. 22 For I must die in this land; (AJ)I must not go over the Jordan. But you shall go over and take possession of (AK)that good land. 23 (AL)Take care, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he made with you, and (AM)make a carved image, the form of anything that the Lord your God has forbidden you. 24 For (AN)the Lord your God is a consuming fire, (AO)a jealous God.
25 “When you father children and children's children, and have grown old in the land, (AP)and you act corruptly by making a carved image in the form of anything, and (AQ)by doing what is evil in the sight of the Lord your God, so as to provoke him to anger, 26 I (AR)call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess. You will not live long in it, but will be utterly destroyed. 27 And the Lord (AS)will scatter you among the peoples, (AT)and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord will drive you. 28 And (AU)there you will serve gods of wood and stone, the work of human hands, (AV)that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 29 (AW)But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you are in tribulation, and all these things come upon you (AX)in the latter days, you will return to the Lord your God and obey his voice. 31 For the Lord your God is (AY)a merciful God. (AZ)He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them.
The Lord Alone Is God
32 “For (BA)ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether such a great thing as this has ever happened or was ever heard of. 33 (BB)Did any people ever hear the voice of a god speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and still live? 34 Or has any god ever attempted to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, (BC)by signs, by wonders, and (BD)by war, (BE)by a mighty hand and (BF)an outstretched arm, and by great deeds of terror, all of which the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? 35 To you it was shown, (BG)that you might know that the Lord is God; (BH)there is no other besides him. 36 (BI)Out of heaven he let you hear his voice, that he might discipline you. And on earth he let you see his great fire, and (BJ)you heard his words out of the midst of the fire. 37 And because (BK)he loved your fathers and chose their offspring after them[c] and brought you out of Egypt (BL)with his own presence, by his great power, 38 (BM)driving out before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day, 39 know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that (BN)the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; (BO)there is no other. 40 (BP)Therefore you shall keep his statutes and his commandments, which I command you today, (BQ)that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land that the Lord your God is giving you for all time.”
Cities of Refuge
41 Then Moses (BR)set apart three cities in the east beyond the Jordan, 42 that (BS)the manslayer might flee there, anyone who kills his neighbor unintentionally, without being at enmity with him in time past; he may flee to one of these cities and save his life: 43 (BT)Bezer in the wilderness on the (BU)tableland for the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites.
Introduction to the Law
44 This is the law that Moses set before the people of Israel. 45 These are the testimonies, the statutes, and the rules, which Moses spoke to the people of Israel when they came out of Egypt, 46 beyond the Jordan (BV)in the valley opposite Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, (BW)whom Moses and the people of Israel defeated when they came out of Egypt. 47 And they took possession of his land and the land (BX)of Og, the king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who lived to the east beyond the Jordan; 48 (BY)from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, as far as Mount (BZ)Sirion[d] (that is, (CA)Hermon), 49 together with all the Arabah on the east side of the Jordan as far as (CB)the Sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.
