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, hath 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 wherein 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 unto 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 unto the place which Jehovah your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt 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 thither 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 unto, ye and your households, wherein Jehovah thy God hath 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 whatsoever 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 giveth 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 causeth you to inherit, and he giveth 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, thither shall ye 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 unto 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 that is within your gates, forasmuch as he hath 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 seest;
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 shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shalt 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 mayest 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 hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, 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 shalt pour it out upon the earth 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 mayest 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 vowest, 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 shalt 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 that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God in all that thou puttest thy hand unto.
19 Pazi da nikad ne zaboraviš levita dok si na svojoj zemlji.
Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest 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 hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul desireth to eat flesh; thou mayest 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 shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which Jehovah hath given thee, as I have commanded thee; and thou mayest eat within thy gates, after 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 shalt eat thereof: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof alike.
23 Samo, pazi da ne jedeš krvi! Ta krv je život. Ne smiješ jesti život s mesom.
Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou shalt not eat the life with the flesh.
24 Ne blaguj je; istoči je na zemlju kao vodu.
Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it out upon the earth 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 shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt 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 hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto 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 shalt 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 shalt 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 children after thee for ever, when thou doest 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, whither thou goest in to dispossess them, and thou dispossessest them, and dwellest 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 that they are destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods? even so will I 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 shalt not do so unto Jehovah thy God: for every abomination to Jehovah, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods.
32 Sve što vam naređujem držite; tomu ništa ne domeći i ništa ne oduzimaj.
What thing soever I command you, that shall ye observe to do: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
