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 giveth thee a sign or a token,
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 token come to pass, whereof he spoke unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou dost not know, 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.
Then shalt thou not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of dreams; for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye indeed 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 his voice shall ye obey, 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 revolt against the Lord your God, who hath brought you out of the land of Egypt, and who hath redeemed you out of the house of bond-men, to mislead thee front the way which the Lord thy God commanded thee to walk therein; and thou shalt put the evil away 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, who is [dear to thee] as thy own soul, should entice thee, in secret, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou dost not know, either thou, or thy fathers;
7 bogovima onih naroda što oko vas budu, bilo tebi blizu bilo od tebe daleko, od jednoga kraja zemlje do drugoga -
Some of the gods of the nations which are round about you, that are nigh unto thee, or that are far off from thee, from 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
Then shalt thou not consent unto him, nor shalt thou hearken unto him; nor shall thy eye look with pity on him, nor shalt thou spare, nor shalt thou conceal it for 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 the first upon him to put him to death, and the hand of all the people afterward.
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 sought to mislead thee from the Lord thy God, who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bond-men.
11 Sav će se Izrael, kad to čuje, napuniti strahom te više neće počinjati takva zla u tvojoj sredini.
And all Israel shall hear it, and they shall be afraid, and they shall not do any more such a wicked deed 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 shouldst hear concerning one of thy cities, which the Lord thy God hath given 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 -
There have gone forth men, children of worthlessness, from the midst of thee, and have misled 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 true, the thing is certain, such abomination hath been 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.
Then shalt thou smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, devoting it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, to 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 all its spoil shalt thou gather into the midst of the market-place thereof, and thou shalt burn with fire the city, and all its spoil entirely, unto the Lord thy God; and it shall be a ruinous 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 not cleave to thy hand aught of the devoted things; in order that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and grant thee mercy, and have mercy 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 wilt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord thy God.
