Ponovljeni zakon 13

1 Ako se u tvojoj sredini pojavi kakav prorok ili čovjek sa snoviđenjima pa ti iznese kakvo znamenje ili čudo;

If there arise in the midst of thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams — and he give thee 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, whereof he spoke unto thee — saying: 'Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve 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.

thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God putteth you to proof, to know whether ye do love the LORD 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.

After the LORD your God shall ye walk, and Him shall ye fear, and His commandments shall ye keep, and unto His voice shall ye hearken, and Him shall ye serve, and unto Him shall ye cleave.

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 dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken perversion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, to draw thee aside out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.

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 thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, that is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying: 'Let us go and serve other gods,' which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

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 peoples that are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;

8 nemoj pristati niti ga slušaj! Neka ga tvoje oko ne sažaljuje; ne štedi ga i ne sakrivaj ga

thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him;

9 nego ga ubij! Neka se najprije tvoja ruka digne na nj da ga usmrtiš, a onda ruka svega naroda.

but thou shalt surely kill him; thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand 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.

And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to draw thee away from the LORD thy God, who brought thee 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 do no more any such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee.

12 Ako u kojem tvome gradu što ti ga Jahve, Bog tvoj, dadne da se u njemu nastaniš, čuješ gdje govore:

If thou shalt hear tell concerning one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to dwell there, saying:

13 'Pojavile se ništarije iz tvoje sredine i zavedoše žitelje svoga grada kazujući: Hajde da služimo drugim bogovima! - kojih vi inače ne poznajete -

'Certain base fellows are gone out from the midst of thee, and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying: Let us go and serve other gods, which ye 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 shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in the midst of thee;

15 onda posijeci oštrim mačem stanovništvo toga grada, izvrši nad njim kleto uništenje i nad svime što bude u njemu.

thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.

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 thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the broad place thereof, and shall burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, unto the LORD thy God; and it shall be a heap 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 cleave nought of the devoted thing to thy hand, that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of His anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as He hath sworn unto thy 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.

when thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all His commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.
