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 judgments which you observe to do in the land which YHWH, God of your fathers, has given to you to possess it, all the days that you are living on the ground.
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.
You utterly destroy all the places where the nations which you are dispossessing served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the heights, 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 you have broken down their altars, and shattered their standing pillars, and you burn their Asherim with fire, and you cut down carved images of their gods, and have destroyed their name out of that place.
4 Jahvi, Bogu svome, nemojte onako iskazivati štovanje.
You do not do so to your God YHWH;
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;
rather—that you seek after the place which your God YHWH chooses out of all your tribes to put His Name there, for His Dwelling Place, and you have entered there,
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 have brought in there your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the raised-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your free-will 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 you have eaten there before your God YHWH, and have rejoiced in every putting forth of your hand, you and your households, with which your God YHWH has blessed you.
8 Nemojte raditi čak ni kako radimo ovdje danas - svatko što se njemu čini dobro -
You do not do according to all that we are doing here today—each [doing] anything that is right in his own eyes—
9 jer još niste stigli u Počivalište, u baštinu koju ti daje Jahve, Bog tvoj.
for until now you have not come to the rest and to the inheritance which your God YHWH is giving to you.
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,
When you have passed over the Jordan, and have dwelt in the land which your God YHWH is causing you to inherit, and He has given rest to you from all your surrounding enemies, and you have dwelt confidently,
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 has been, the place on which your God YHWH fixes to cause His Name to dwell there, there you bring in all that which I am commanding you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the raised-offering of your hand, and all the choice of your vows which you vow to YHWH.
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 you have rejoiced before your God YHWH, you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your handmaids, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, for he has no part and inheritance with you.
13 Pazi da ne prinosiš svojih žrtava paljenica na bilo kojem mjestu što ga zamijetiš,
Take heed to yourself lest you cause your burnt-offerings to ascend in any place which you 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.
rather—that in the place which YHWH chooses in one of your tribes, there you cause your burnt-offerings to ascend, and there you do all that which I am commanding you.
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.
Nevertheless, you slaughter anything of the desire of your soul, and have eaten [its] flesh according to the blessing of your God YHWH which He has given to you in all your gates; the unclean and the clean eat it, as [if] the roe and as [if] the deer.
16 Ali krvi nemojte blagovati; istočite je na zemlju kao vodu.
Only, you do not eat the blood—you pour it on 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,
you are not able to eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, and of your new wine, and your oil, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock, and any of your vows which you vow, and your free-will offerings, and a raised-offering of your 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 you eat it before your God YHWH in the place which your God YHWH fixes on, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, and you have rejoiced before your God YHWH in every putting forth of your hand;
19 Pazi da nikad ne zaboraviš levita dok si na svojoj zemlji.
take heed to yourself lest you forsake the Levite [for] all your days on your ground.
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 your God YHWH enlarges your border, as He has spoken to you, and you have said, Let me eat flesh—for your soul desires to eat flesh—you eat flesh of all the desire of your 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.
When the place is far from you [in] which your God YHWH chooses to put His Name there, then you have sacrificed from your herd and from your flock which YHWH has given to you, as I have commanded you, and have eaten within your gates, of all the desire of your soul;
22 Jedi ga ipak onako kako se jede srna ili jelen: neka ga jedu zajedno čisti i nečisti.
only, as the roe and the deer is eaten, so do you eat it; the unclean and the clean alike eat it.
23 Samo, pazi da ne jedeš krvi! Ta krv je život. Ne smiješ jesti život s mesom.
Only, be sure not to eat the blood, for the blood [is] the life, and you do not eat the life with the flesh;
24 Ne blaguj je; istoči je na zemlju kao vodu.
you do not eat it—you pour it on 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.
you do not eat it, in order that it may be well with you and with your sons after you when you do that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH.
26 Ali svoje posvećene prinose i svoje zavjetne prinose uzmi i nosi na mjesto koje Jahve odabere.
Only, your holy things which you have, and your vows, you take up, and have gone to the place which YHWH chooses,
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 you have made your burnt-offerings—the flesh and the blood—on the altar of your God YHWH; and the blood of your sacrifices is poured out by the altar of your God YHWH, and you 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 you have obeyed all these words which I am commanding you, in order that it may be well with you and with your sons after you for all time, when you do that which [is] good and right in the eyes of your God YHWH.
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 your God YHWH cuts off the nations—to where you are going in to possess them—from your presence, and you have possessed them, and have dwelt 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 yourself lest you are ensnared after them, after their being destroyed out of your presence, and lest you inquire about their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods, that I also do so?
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.
You do not do so to your God YHWH; for every abomination that YHWH has hated they have done for their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters with fire for their gods.
32 Sve što vam naređujem držite; tomu ništa ne domeći i ništa ne oduzimaj.
The whole thing which I am commanding you, you observe to do it; you do not add to it, nor diminish from it.”
