Qanunun Təkrari 21
1 Allahınız Rəbbin mülk olaraq almaq üçün sizə verəcəyi torpaqda, çöldə yerə sərilmiş və kim tərəfindən öldürüldüyü bilinməyən meyit görsəniz,
“Suppose someone has been murdered in a field in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you do not know who killed that person.
2 ağsaqqallarınız və hakimləriniz gedib meyitin olduğu yerlə ətraf şəhərlər arasındakı məsafəni ölçsünlər.
[If that happens], your elders and judges must go out to where that person’s corpse was found and measure the distance from there to each of the nearby towns.
3 Meyitə ən yaxın şəhər hansıdırsa, oranın ağsaqqalları işə qoşulmamış, boyunduruq taxılmayan bir düyə götürsünlər.
Then the elders in the town that is closest to where the corpse was found must select a young cow that has never been used for doing work.
4 Düyəni şumlanmamış, əkilməmiş torpaqdakı axar sulu dərəyə gətirsinlər və orada düyənin boynunu qırsınlar.
They must take it to a place near a stream where the ground has never been plowed or planted. They must break its neck there in that valley.
5 Levili kahinlər də oraya getsin. Çünki Allahınız Rəbb onları Özünə xidmətçi seçib. Qoy onlar Rəbbin adı ilə xeyir-dua versinlər, aranızdakı münaqişə və zorakılıq hallarına baxsınlar.
The priests must go there also, because Yahweh our God has chosen them from the tribe of Levi to serve him and to be his representatives [MTY] when they bless people. And he has also chosen them to settle disputes in which someone has been injured.
6 Meyitə ən yaxın şəhərin ağsaqqalları dərədə boynu qırılmış düyənin üzərində əllərini yuyub
The elders from the closest town must wash their hands over the young cow whose neck was broken,
7 belə bəyan etsinlər: “Bu qan bizim əllərimizlə tökülməyib. Kimin etdiyini də gözümüzlə görməmişik.
and they must say, ‘We did not murder this person [MTY], and we did not see who did it.
8 Ya Rəbb, qurtardığın xalqı – İsrailliləri kəffarə et. Xalqını nahaq tökülən qana cavabdeh etmə”. Beləliklə, qan tökmək günahı kəffarə olunacaq.
Yahweh, forgive us, your Israeli people whom you rescued [from Egypt]. Do not consider (us to be guilty/that we should be punished because) of murdering someone who (is innocent/had not done something that is wrong). Instead, forgive us.’
9 Rəbbin gözündə doğru olanı etdiyiniz üçün nahaq qan boynunuzdan götürüləcək.
By doing that, you will be doing what Yahweh considers to be right, and you will not be considered to be guilty for murdering that person.”
10 Düşmənlərinizlə döyüşə çıxanda, Allahınız Rəbb onları sizə təslim edəndə və siz onları əsir götürəndə
“When you [soldiers] go to fight against your enemies, and Yahweh our God enables you to defeat them [IDM], and (they become your prisoners/you capture them),
11 aralarında gözəl qadın görüb ona vurulsanız, onu arvad olaraq ala bilərsiniz.
one of you may see among them a beautiful woman that he likes, and he may want to marry her.
12 Qoy o qadın kişinin evinə aparılsın. O, başını qırxdıraraq dırnaqlarını kəssin,
He should take her to his home, and there she must shave [all the hair off] her head and cut her fingernails [to signify that now she does not belong to her people-group any more, but instead she is becoming an Israeli].
13 əynindəki əsirlik geyimlərini çıxarsın və evinizdə qalıb ata-anası üçün bir ay yas tutsun. Bundan sonra qadını alan kişi onun yanına girib öz arvadı edə bilər.
She must take off the clothes that she was wearing when she was captured, [and put on Israeli clothes]. She must stay in that man’s house and mourn for a month because of [leaving] her parents. After that, he will be allowed to marry her.
14 Əgər o sənin sonradan xoşuna gəlməzsə, könlü istədiyi kimi onu azad burax. Qadını pula satma və qul kimi rəftar etmə, çünki onu zəlil etmisən.
Later, if he no longer is pleased with her, he will be permitted to allow her to leave him. But because she was forced to have sex with him, he will not be allowed to treat her like a slave [and sell her to someone else].”
15 Əgər bir kişinin iki arvadı varsa, birini sevib digərini sevmirsə və hər iki qadın ona oğul doğmuşsa, sevmədiyi qadından doğulan oğul ilk oğludursa,
“Suppose that a man has two wives, but he likes one of them and dislikes the other one. And suppose that they both give birth to sons, and the oldest son is the child of the woman that he does not like.
16 bu kişi əmlakını irs olaraq oğulları arasında böləndə ilk oğulluq haqqını sevdiyi qadının oğluna verə bilməz.
On the day when that man decides how he will divide his possessions for his sons to possess [after he dies], he must not favor the son of the wife that he loves by giving him [a bigger share, ] the share that the older son should receive.
17 Sevmədiyi qadının oğlunu ilk oğul olaraq tanısın və bölünən malın ikiqat payını ona versin, çünki gücünün ilk yadigarıdır. Ona görə də ilk oğulluq haqqı onundur.
He must give to the older son, the son of the wife whom he does not like, twice as much of his possessions. That son is his firstborn son, and he must be given the share that he should receive because of his being that man’s firstborn son.”
18 Əgər bir adamın dikbaş, itaətsiz, valideynlərinə qulaq asmayan, ata-ana tərbiyəsinə məhəl qoymayan bir oğlu varsa,
“Suppose there is a boy who is very stubborn and always (rebelling against/disobeying) [his parents], and who will not heed what they say to him. And suppose that they punish him but he still does not pay attention to what they tell him [MTY].
19 valideynləri onu götürüb şəhərin darvazasına, şəhərin ağsaqqallarının yanına gətirsinlər.
If that happens, his parents must take him to the (gate of/central meeting place in) the city where he lives and have him stand in front of the elders of the city.
20 Şəhər ağsaqqallarına belə desinlər: “Bizim oğlumuz dikbaş və itaətsizdir. Heç sözümüzə baxmır, qarınqulu və əyyaşdır.
Then the parents must say to the elders of that city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and always rebelling against us. He will not pay attention to what we tell him [MTY]. He wastes a lot of money (OR, eats too much food) and gets drunk.’
21 Onda şəhərin əhalisi onu daşqalaq edib öldürəcək. Beləliklə, aranızdan pisliyi atın. Qoy bütün İsraillilər bu xəbəri eşidib qorxsunlar”.
Then all the elders of that city must execute him by throwing stones at him. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you. And everyone in Israel will hear [about what happened] and they will be afraid [to do what he did].”
22 Əgər bir adam bir günahdan ötrü ölüm cəzasına məhkum olunub ağacdan asılırsa,
“If someone is executed for having committed a crime for which he deserves to die, and you hang his corpse on a post,
23 meyiti gecə ağacda asılı qoymayın, mütləq onu həmin gün basdırın, çünki asılan adam Allahın lənətinə düçar olub. Allahınız Rəbbin irs olaraq sizə verəcəyi torpağı murdarlamayın.
you must not allow his corpse to remain there all night. You must bury it on the day that he died, because [God] has cursed anyone whose corpse is allowed to remain on a post. [You must bury the corpse that day], in order that you do not defile the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
