Ponovljeni zakon 12
1 Ovo su zakoni i uredbe što vam ih valja držati i vršiti u zemlji koju vam Jahve, Bog otaca vaših, daje u posjed za sve dane što budete živjeli na zemlji.
These are the statutes and the ordinances which ye shall observe to do in the land which Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, has given thee to possess it all the days that ye live upon the earth.
2 Sravnite sa zemljom sva mjesta na kojima su narodi koje ćete protjerati iskazivali štovanje svojim bogovima, nalazila se ona na visokim brdima, na humovima ili pod kakvim zelenim drvetom.
Ye shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that ye shall dispossess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree.
3 Porušite njihove žrtvenike, porazbijajte njihove stupove, spalite im ašere; smrvite kipove njihovih bogova, zatrite im imena s onih mjesta.
And ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire. And ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and ye shall destroy their name out of that place.
4 Jahvi, Bogu svome, nemojte onako iskazivati štovanje.
Ye shall not do so to Jehovah your God.
5 Jahvu, Boga svoga, tražite jedino na mjestu koje je on odabrao, sred svih vaših plemena, da ondje stavi svoje ime i da ondje prebiva;
But to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, even to his habitation ye shall seek, and there thou shall come.
6 onamo donosite svoje paljenice i svoje klanice, svoje desetine i darove svojih ruku, svoje zavjetne i dragovoljne prinose i prvine od svoga krupnoga i sitnoga blaga.
And there ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock.
7 Blagujte ondje, vi i vaše obitelji, u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga; veselite se svime što su vaše ruke namaknule i što vam je Jahve, Bog vaš, blagoslovom udijelio.
And there ye shall eat before Jehovah your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand to, ye and your households, in which Jehovah thy God has blessed thee.
8 Nemojte raditi čak ni kako radimo ovdje danas - svatko što se njemu čini dobro -
Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatever is right in his own eyes.
9 jer još niste stigli u Počivalište, u baštinu koju ti daje Jahve, Bog tvoj.
For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which Jehovah thy God gives thee.
10 Ali kad prijeđete preko Jordana i nastanite se u zemlji koju vam Jahve, Bog vaš, daje u baštinu, kad vas smiri od svih neprijatelja koji budu oko vas te budete živjeli bez straha,
But when ye go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Jehovah your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety,
11 onda ćete donositi sve što vam naređujem: svoje paljenice, svoje klanice, svoje desetine, darove svojih ruku i sve svoje izabrane zavjetnice koje budete zavjetovali Jahvi - na mjesto koje Jahve, Bog vaš, odabere da ondje nastani svoje ime.
then it shall come to pass that to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there, there ye shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow to Jehovah.
12 Veselite se tada pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, vi, vaši sinovi i kćeri, vaše sluge i sluškinje i levit koji bude u vašim gradovima, jer on nema s vama udjela ni baštine.
And ye shall rejoice before Jehovah your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and the Levite who is within your gates-inasmuch as he has no portion nor inheritance with you.
13 Pazi da ne prinosiš svojih žrtava paljenica na bilo kojem mjestu što ga zamijetiš,
Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou see,
14 nego samo na mjestu što ga odabere Jahve, u jednome od tvojih plemena. Tu prinosi svoje paljenice i tu obavljaj sve što ti naređujem.
but in the place which Jehovah shall choose in one of thy tribes. There thou shall offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shall do all that I command thee.
15 Ali svaki put kad ti srce zaželi, možeš zaklati i jesti mesa u svim svojim gradovima, prema blagoslovu koji ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, bude davao. I nečist i čist može ga jesti, kao da je od srne ili jelena.
Notwithstanding, thou may kill and eat flesh within all thy gates, after all the desire of thy soul, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he has given thee, the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle, and as of the hart.
16 Ali krvi nemojte blagovati; istočite je na zemlju kao vodu.
Only ye shall not eat the blood. Thou shall pour it out upon the ground as water.
17 Po svojim gradovima nemojte jesti desetine svoga žita, svoga vina, svoga ulja ni prvine svoga krupnog ili sitnog blaga; niti išta od svojih zavjetovanih i od svojih dragovoljnih prinosa, ni od prinosa svojih ruku,
Thou may not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy grain, or of thy new wine, or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy herd or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vow, nor thy freewill offerings, nor the heave offering of thy hand.
18 nego ćeš to blagovati pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, u mjestu koje Jahve, Bog tvoj, odabere, ti, tvoj sin, tvoja kći, tvoj sluga, tvoja sluškinja i levit koji bude u tvojim gradovima. Proveseli se u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga, svime što ti ruka namakne.
But thou shall eat them before Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite who is within thy gates. And thou shall rejoice before Jehovah thy God in all that thou put thy hand to.
19 Pazi da nikad ne zaboraviš levita dok si na svojoj zemlji.
Take heed to thyself that thou not forsake the Levite as long as thou live in thy land.
20 Kad ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, proširi tvoje područje, kao što ti je rekao, i ti rekneš: 'Ja bih jeo mesa' - jer želiš jesti mesa - možeš ga jesti koliko ti duša želi.
When Jehovah thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he has promised thee, and thou shall say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul desires to eat flesh, thou may eat flesh, after all the desire of thy soul.
21 Bude li mjesto koje Jahve, Bog tvoj, odabere da u njemu svoje ime smjesti daleko od tebe, onda možeš zaklati bilo što od svoje krupne ili sitne stoke što ti je Jahve dadne - kako sam ti već naredio - te jesti u bilo kojem svome gradu koliko ti duša želi.
If the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to put his name there, be too far from thee, then thou shall kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which Jehovah has given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou may eat within thy gates, according to all the desire of thy soul.
22 Jedi ga ipak onako kako se jede srna ili jelen: neka ga jedu zajedno čisti i nečisti.
Even as the gazelle and as the hart is eaten, so thou shall eat of it. The unclean and the clean may eat of it alike.
23 Samo, pazi da ne jedeš krvi! Ta krv je život. Ne smiješ jesti život s mesom.
Only be sure that thou not eat the blood. For the blood is the life, and thou shall not eat the life with the flesh.
24 Ne blaguj je; istoči je na zemlju kao vodu.
Thou shall not eat it. Thou shall pour it out upon the ground as water.
25 Ne smiješ je jesti, da bude dobro i tebi i tvojim sinovima poslije tebe kad činiš što je pravo u očima Jahvinim.
Thou shall not eat it, that it may go well with thee, and with thy sons after thee, when thou shall do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah.
26 Ali svoje posvećene prinose i svoje zavjetne prinose uzmi i nosi na mjesto koje Jahve odabere.
Only thy holy things which thou have, and thy vows, thou shall take, and go to the place which Jehovah shall choose.
27 Tu prinesi svoje paljenice, meso i krv, na žrtveniku Jahve, Boga svoga. Ali krv od svojih klanica istoči na žrtvenik Jahve, Boga svoga, a meso pojedi.
And thou shall offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Jehovah thy God, and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of Jehovah thy God, and thou shall eat the flesh.
28 Drži i vrši sve ove naredbe što ti ih propisujem, da bude dobro zauvijek tebi i tvojim sinovima poslije tebe kad činiš što je dobro i pravedno u očima Jahve, Boga svoga.
Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy sons after thee forever, when thou do that which is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.
29 A kad Jahve, Bog tvoj, istrijebi narode na koje ideš da ih otjeraš s posjeda ispred sebe i kad ih otjeraš te se u njihovoj zemlji nastaniš,
When Jehovah thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, where thou go in to dispossess them, and thou dispossess them, and dwell in their land,
30 čuvaj se da ne padneš u zamku; ne pođi za njima pošto budu uništeni ispred tebe. Ne istražuj o njihovim bogovima i ne govori: 'Kako su oni narodi štovali svoje bogove, tako ću i ja.'
take heed to thyself that thou be not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before thee, and that thou not inquire after their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods? Even so I will do likewise.
31 Nemoj onako postupati prema Jahvi, Bogu svome. TÓa Jahvi je zazorno i mrsko sve što su oni činili svojim bogovima. Čak su svoje sinove i kćeri spaljivali u čast svojim bogovima.
Thou shall not do so to Jehovah thy God. For every abomination to Jehovah, which he hates, they have done to their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
32 Sve što vam naređujem držite; tomu ništa ne domeći i ništa ne oduzimaj.
Whatever thing I command you, that shall ye observe to do. Thou shall not add to it, nor diminish from it.
