Ponovljeni zakon 14
1 Vi ste sinovi Jahve, Boga svoga. Nemojte na sebi praviti ureza ni podstriga na čelu za pokojnikom.
“We are people who belong to Yahweh our God. So, when people die, do not show that you are grieving by gashing/cutting yourselves or by shaving the hair on your foreheads [like the other people-groups do].
2 TÓa ti si narod posvećen Jahvi, Bogu svome; Jahve je odabrao tebe između svih naroda na zemlji da budeš njegov narod, njegova predraga svojina.
We belong to Yahweh alone. Yahweh chose us from all the other people-groups on the earth to be his special people.
3 Ništa odvratno nemojte jesti.
“Do not eat anything that [Yahweh] detests.
4 Ovo su životinje koje možete jesti: vol, ovca, koza,
The animals [whose meat] you are permitted to eat are cattle, sheep, goats,
5 jelen, srna, srndać, kozorog, antilopa, bivol i divokoza;
deer, gazelles, wild goats, antelopes, and mountain sheep.
6 možete jesti svaku životinju koja ima razdvojene papke - nadvoje posve razdvojene - i koja preživa.
Those are animals that have split hoofs and that also (chew their cuds/regurgitate their food [from their stomachs] to chew it again).
7 Samo od preživača ili od životinja s razdvojenim čaporcima ne možete jesti ove: devu, arnebeta i svisca. Te, naime, iako preživaju, nemaju razdvojenih papaka; neka su za vas nečiste.
But there are other animals that chew their cuds that you must not eat. Those are camels, rabbits, and rock badgers. They chew their cuds, but their hooves are not split. So they are not acceptable for you to eat.
8 A svinja, premda ima papke razdvojene, ne preživa: neka je za vas nečista. Njezina mesa nemojte jesti niti se njezina strva doticati.
Do not eat pigs. They are unacceptable for you to eat; their hooves are split, but they do not chew cud. Do not eat the meat of those animals; do not even touch their dead bodies.
9 A od svega što u vodi živi ovo možete jesti: što god ima ljuske i peraje, možete jesti.
You are permitted to eat any fish that has scales and fins.
10 A što nema ljusaka i peraja, ne smijete jesti. To neka je za vas nečisto.
But anything else [that lives in the water] that does not have scales and fins, you must not eat, because [if you eat them], you will become unacceptable [to Yahweh].
11 Svaku čistu pticu možete jesti.
“You are permitted to eat the flesh of any bird that is acceptable [to Yahweh].
12 Ali ovih ne smijete jesti: orla strvinara i jastreba,
But eagles, vultures, black vultures,
13 tetrijeba, sokola bilo koje vrste;
buzzards, all kinds of kites,
14 gavrana bilo koje vrste;
all kinds of crows,
15 noja, kopca, galeba ni kraguja bilo koje vrste;
ostriches, seagulls,
16 sove, jejine i labuda;
owls, hawks, falcons,
17 pelikana, bijelog strvinara i gnjurca;
pelicans, vultures that eat dead animals, cormorants,
18 rode, čaplje bilo koje vrste; pupavca i šišmiša.
storks, herons, hoopoes, and bats, you must not eat.
19 Svi krilati kukci neka su za vas nečisti - ne smijete ih jesti.
“All insects with wings [and which walk on the ground] are unacceptable [to Yahweh]; do not eat them.
20 Sve krilato čisto možete jesti.
But other insects with wings [and which hop along the ground] are acceptable to eat.
21 Ne smijete jesti ništa što crkne. Daj to pridošlici koji boravi u tvojim gradovima neka jede ili pak prodaj tuđincu. Jer ti si narod posvećen Jahvi, Bogu svome. Ne kuhaj kozleta u mlijeku njegove majke!
“Do not eat any animal that has died naturally, [because its blood has not been drained out]. You may allow foreigners who live among you to eat those things or you may sell them to other foreigners. But you belong to Yahweh our God; [and those who belong to him are not permitted to eat the meat of animals whose blood has not been drained out]. “You must not cook a young sheep or goat in its mother’s milk.”
22 Odvajaj desetinu dohotka svake godine od svega što tvoj usjev u polju donese.
“Once each year you must set apart (a tithe/10 percent) of all the crops that are produced/harvested in your fields.
23 A onda blaguj desetine svoga žita, svoga vina, svoga ulja i prvine svoje krupne i sitne stoke u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga, na mjestu koje on odabere da svoje ime ondje nastani; da se tako naučiš zauvijek bojati se Jahve, Boga svoga.
Take those things to the place that Yahweh our God will choose [for you to worship him]. There eat the tithes of your grain, your wine, your [olive] oil, and the meat of the firstborn male animals of your cattle and your sheep. Do this in order that you may learn to always revere Yahweh, [the one who has blessed you by giving you these things].
24 Bude li ti put predug te ne mogneš donijeti desetine - jer je mjesto što ga Jahve odabere da u njemu nastani svoje ime previše daleko od tebe - tada, kad te Jahve, Bog tvoj, blagoslovi,
If the place that Yahweh has chosen [for you to worship him] is very far from your home, with the result that you are not able to take there the tithes [of your crops] with which Yahweh has blessed you, do this:
25 prodaj to za novac, uzmi novac u ruku pa idi u mjesto što ga odabere Jahve, Bog tvoj.
Sell [IDM] the tithes of your crops, wrap the money carefully [in a cloth], and take it with you to the place of worship that Yahweh has chosen.
26 Ondje za novac kupi što želiš: goveče, sitno živinče, vino ili opojno piće - što god ti duša zaželi. Ondje u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga, blaguj i veseli se ti i tvoji ukućani.
There, [with that money], you may buy whatever you want to—beef or lamb or wine or fermented drinks. And there, in the presence of Yahweh, you and your families should eat [and drink] those things and be happy.
27 Ne zanemaruj levita koji bude u tvojim gradovima, jer on nema udjela ni baštine s tobom.
But be sure to not neglect/forget [to help] the descendants of Levi who live in your towns, because they will not own any land.
28 Na kraju svake treće godine iznesi svu desetinu svoga prihoda od te godine i položi je na svoja vrata.
“At the end of every three years, bring a tithe of all your crops that have been produced/harvested in that year and store it in your towns.
29 Pa neka dođe levit - jer nema udjela ni baštine s tobom - došljak, sirota i udovica koji budu živjeli u tvom gradu i neka jedu i neka se nasite. Tako će te blagoslivljati Jahve, Bog tvoj, u svim poslovima što ih tvoja ruka poduzme.
That food is for the descendants of Levi, because they do not have their own land, and for foreigners [who live among you], and for orphans and widows who live in your towns. They are permitted to come [to where the food is stored] and take what they need. Do that in order that Yahweh our God will bless you in everything that you do.”
