Ponovljeni zakon 13
1 Ako se u tvojoj sredini pojavi kakav prorok ili čovjek sa snoviđenjima pa ti iznese kakvo znamenje ili čudo;
And if there arise within you a prophet, or one who dreams a dream, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
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 the sign or the wonder come to pass which he spoke to you, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you know not;
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 shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of that dream, because the Lord your God tries you, to know whether you love your God 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 shall follow the Lord your God, and fear him, and you shall hear his voice, and attach yourselves 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.
And that prophet or that dreamer of a dream, shall die; for he has spoken to make you err from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, who redeemed you from bondage, to thrust you out of the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in: so shall you abolish the evil from amongst 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,
And if your brother by your father or mother, or your son, or daughter, or your wife in your bosom, or friend who is equal to your own soul, entreat you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve 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 -
of the gods of the nations that are round about you, who are near you or at a distance from you, from one end of the earth to the other;
8 nemoj pristati niti ga slušaj! Neka ga tvoje oko ne sažaljuje; ne štedi ga i ne sakrivaj ga
you shall not consent to him, neither shall you listen to him; and your eye shall not spare him, you shall feel no regret for him, neither shall you at all protect him:
9 nego ga ubij! Neka se najprije tvoja ruka digne na nj da ga usmrtiš, a onda ruka svega naroda.
you shall surely report concerning him, and your hands shall be upon him amongst the first to kill him, and the hands of all the people at the last.
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.
And they shall stone him with stones, and he shall die, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
11 Sav će se Izrael, kad to čuje, napuniti strahom te više neće počinjati takva zla u tvojoj sredini.
And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not again do according to this evil thing amongst you.
12 Ako u kojem tvome gradu što ti ga Jahve, Bog tvoj, dadne da se u njemu nastaniš, čuješ gdje govore:
And if in one of your cities which the Lord God gives you to dwell therein, you shall hear men saying,
13 'Pojavile se ništarije iz tvoje sredine i zavedoše žitelje svoga grada kazujući: Hajde da služimo drugim bogovima! - kojih vi inače ne poznajete -
Evil men have gone out from you, and have caused all the inhabitants of their land to fall away, saying, Let us go and worship other gods, whom you knew not,
14 tada dobro istraži, raspitaj se i temeljito izvidi. Bude li istina i doista se ta grozota učinila u tvojoj sredini,
then you shall enquire and ask, and search diligently, and behold, [if] the thing is clearly true, and this abomination has taken place amongst you,
15 onda posijeci oštrim mačem stanovništvo toga grada, izvrši nad njim kleto uništenje i nad svime što bude u njemu.
you shall utterly destroy all the dwellers in that land with the edge of the sword; you shall solemnly curse it, and all things in it.
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 all its spoils you shall gather into its public ways, and you shall burn the city with fire, and all its spoils publicly before the Lord your God; and it shall be uninhabited for ever, it shall not be built again.
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
And there shall nothing of the cursed thing cleave to your hand, that the Lord may turn from his fierce anger, and show you mercy, and pity you, and multiply you, as he sware 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.
if you will hear the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments, all that I charge you this day, to do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.
