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 ordinances, which ye shall observe to do, in the land which the Lord, the God of thy fathers, giveth unto thee to possess it, and 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 utterly destroy all the places whereon the nations which ye are about to drive out 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 overthrow their altars, and break their statues, and their groves shall ye burn with fire; and the graven images of their gods shall ye hew down; and ye shall destroy their name out of the same place.
4 Jahvi, Bogu svome, nemojte onako iskazivati štovanje.
Ye shall not do so unto the Lord 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 the Lord your God may choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye repair, and thither shalt thou 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 ye shall bring thither 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 first-born of your herds and of your flocks;
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 ye shall eat there before the Lord your God, and ye shall rejoice with all the acquisition of your hand, ye and your households, wherewith the Lord thy God may have blessed thee.
8 Nemojte raditi čak ni kako radimo ovdje danas - svatko što se njemu čini dobro -
Ye shall not do after all the manner that we do here this day, every one 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 the Lord 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 ye will go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which the Lord your God causeth you to inherit, and he will give you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye may 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.
And then shall it be, that the place which the Lord your God will choose to cause his name to dwell there, —[even] 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 may vow unto the Lord;
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 the Lord 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; because he hath not any 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 which thou mayest 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 the Lord will choose in one of thy tribes, there shalt thou offer thy burnt-offerings, and there shalt thou 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, according to all the longing of thy soul, mayest thou kill and eat flesh, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee, in all thy gates: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
16 Ali krvi nemojte blagovati; istočite je na zemlju kao vodu.
Only the blood shall ye not eat: upon the earth shall ye pour it out 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 corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, nor the first-born of thy herds or of thy flocks, nor any of thy vows which thou mayest vow, nor thy freewill-offerings, and 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 before the Lord thy God must thou eat them in the place which the Lord thy God may 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 shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God with all the acquisition of thy hand.
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 upon 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 the Lord thy God will enlarge thy border, as he hath spoken unto thee, and thou dost say, I wish to eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh: then mayest thou, according to all the longing of thy soul, eat flesh.
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 the Lord thy God may choose to put his name there be too far for thee: then mayest thou kill of thy herds and of thy flocks, which the Lord hath given thee, as I have commanded thee; and thou shalt eat in thy gates according to all the longing of thy soul.
22 Jedi ga ipak onako kako se jede srna ili jelen: neka ga jedu zajedno čisti i nečisti.
But as the roebuck and the hart are eaten, so shalt thou eat the same: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof together.
23 Samo, pazi da ne jedeš krvi! Ta krv je život. Ne smiješ jesti život s mesom.
Only be firm so as not to eat 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: upon the earth shalt thou pour it out like 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; in order that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou wilt do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.
26 Ali svoje posvećene prinose i svoje zavjetne prinose uzmi i nosi na mjesto koje Jahve odabere.
Nevertheless thy holy things which thou mayest have, and thy vows, shalt thou take, and go unto the place which the Lord may 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 the Lord thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the Lord thy God, and the flesh shalt thou eat.
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; in order that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou wilt do what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord 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 the Lord thy God will cut off the nations, whither thou goest to drive them out from before thee, and thou succeedest 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.'
Then take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after they have been destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did 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 the Lord thy God; for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters have they burnt 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, even that shall ye observe to do: thou shalt not add thereto, and thou shalt not diminish therefrom.
