Ponovljeni zakon 13
1 Ako se u tvojoj sredini pojavi kakav prorok ili čovjek sa snoviđenjima pa ti iznese kakvo znamenje ili čudo;
If a prophet or dreamer of dreams arises among you and proclaims a sign or wonder to you,
2 i to se znamenje ili čudo o kojem ti je govorio ispuni i onda ti on rekne: 'Pođimo sad za drugim bogovima kojih dosad ne poznaješ i njima iskazujmo štovanje',
and if the sign or wonder he has spoken to you comes about, but he says, “Let us follow other gods (which you have not known) and let us worship them,”
3 nemoj slušati riječi toga proroka ni sne toga sanjača: tÓa to vas iskušava Jahve, Bog vaš; hoće da dozna ljubite li zbilja Jahvu, Boga svoga, svim srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom.
you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. For the LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Idite samo za Jahvom, Bogom svojim; njega se bojte; njegove zapovijedi vršite; njegov glas slušajte; njemu štovanje iskazujte; uz njega se priljubite.
You are to follow the LORD your God and fear Him. Keep His commandments and listen to His voice; serve Him and hold fast to Him.
5 A onaj prorok ili sanjač neka se pogubi jer je poticao na otpad od Jahve, Boga vašega, koji vas je izveo iz zemlje egipatske i otkupio vas iz kuće ropstva. Onaj te htio zavesti s puta kojim ti je Jahve, Bog tvoj, naredio da ideš. Tako treba da iskorijeniš zlo iz svoje sredine.
Such a prophet or dreamer must be put to death, because he has advocated rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery; he has tried to turn you from the way in which the LORD your God has commanded you to walk. So you must purge the evil from among you.
6 Kad bi te brat tvoj, sin majke tvoje, ili sin tvoj vlastiti, kći tvoja, žena u tvom naručju ili prijatelj tvoj koji ti je kao i život, potajno zavodio govoreći: 'Hajde da iskazujemo štovanje drugim bogovima', kojih ne poznaješ ni ti niti su ih poznavali tvoji oci,
If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (which neither you nor your fathers have known,
7 bogovima onih naroda što oko vas budu, bilo tebi blizu bilo od tebe daleko, od jednoga kraja zemlje do drugoga -
the gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, whether from one end of the earth or the other),
8 nemoj pristati niti ga slušaj! Neka ga tvoje oko ne sažaljuje; ne štedi ga i ne sakrivaj ga
you must not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity, and do not spare him or shield him.
9 nego ga ubij! Neka se najprije tvoja ruka digne na nj da ga usmrtiš, a onda ruka svega naroda.
Instead, you must surely kill him. Your hand must be the first against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people.
10 Zaspi ga kamenjem dok ne umre, jer je kušao da te odvrati od Jahve, Boga tvoga, koji te izvede iz zemlje egipatske, iz kuće ropstva.
Stone him to death for trying to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
11 Sav će se Izrael, kad to čuje, napuniti strahom te više neće počinjati takva zla u tvojoj sredini.
Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and will never again do such a wicked thing among you.
12 Ako u kojem tvome gradu što ti ga Jahve, Bog tvoj, dadne da se u njemu nastaniš, čuješ gdje govore:
If, regarding one of the cities the LORD your God is giving you to inhabit, you hear it said
13 'Pojavile se ništarije iz tvoje sredine i zavedoše žitelje svoga grada kazujući: Hajde da služimo drugim bogovima! - kojih vi inače ne poznajete -
that wicked men have arisen from among you and have led the people of their city astray, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” (which you have not known),
14 tada dobro istraži, raspitaj se i temeljito izvidi. Bude li istina i doista se ta grozota učinila u tvojoj sredini,
then you must inquire, investigate, and interrogate thoroughly. And if it is established with certainty that this abomination has been committed among you,
15 onda posijeci oštrim mačem stanovništvo toga grada, izvrši nad njim kleto uništenje i nad svime što bude u njemu.
you must surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword. Devote to destruction all its people and livestock.
16 Snesi onda sav plijen nasred trga te spali grad sa svim plijenom kao paljenicu Jahvi, Bogu svome. Neka zauvijek ostane ruševina i neka se više nikada ne sazida.
And you are to gather all its plunder in the middle of the public square, and completely burn the city and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. The city must remain a mound of ruins forever, never to be rebuilt.
17 Od onoga što je bilo prokletstvom udareno neka ništa ne prione za tvoju ruku, da Jahve odustane od žestine svoga gnjeva; da ti iskaže milosrđe, smiluje ti se i razmnoži te, kako se zakleo tvojim ocima
Nothing devoted to destruction shall cling to your hands, so that the LORD will turn from His fierce anger, grant you mercy, show you compassion, and multiply you as He swore to your fathers,
18 ako ti budeš slušao glas Jahve, Boga svoga, držeći sve njegove zapovijedi koje ti danas naređujem i vršeći što je pravo u očima Jahve, Boga tvoga.
because you obey the LORD your God, keeping all His commandments I am giving you today and doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD your God.
