Ponovljeni zakon 16

1 Drži mjesec Abib i slavi Pashu u čast Jahvi, Bogu svome, jer te Jahve, Bog tvoj, u mjesecu Abibu izveo noću iz Egipta.

Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover to the LORD your God: for in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you forth out of Egypt by night.

2 Kao pashu u čast Jahvi, Bogu svome, žrtvuj ovce i goveda u mjestu koje Jahve odabere da u njemu nastani ime svoje.

You shall therefore sacrifice the passover to the LORD your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.

3 Ništa ukvasano nemoj s njome jesti; nego sedam dana jedi beskvasan kruh - kruh nevoljnički - budući da si u žurbi izišao iz zemlje egipatske: da se svega svog vijeka sjećaš dana kad si izišao iz zemlje egipatske.

You shall eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shall you eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that you may remember the day when you came forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

4 Neka se sedam dana u tebe ne vidi kvasac na svemu tvome području i ništa od mesa žrtve što je zakolješ navečer prvoga dana ne smije ostati preko noći do jutra.

And there shall be no leavened bread seen with you in all your coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which you sacrificed the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.

5 Nije ti dopušteno žrtvovati pashu u bilo kojem gradu što ti ga dadne Jahve, Bog tvoj,

You may not sacrifice the passover within any of your gates, which the LORD your God gives you:

6 nego u mjestu koje odabere Jahve, Bog tvoj, da ondje nastani ime svoje; samo tu žrtvuj pashu u predvečerje, o zalasku sunca, jer u to si vrijeme izišao iz Egipta.

But at the place which the LORD your God shall choose to place his name in, there you shall sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came forth out of Egypt.

7 Skuhaj je i pojedi na mjestu koje odabere Jahve, Bog tvoj. Ujutro se onda okreni i zaputi svojim šatorima.

And you shall roast and eat it in the place which the LORD your God shall choose: and you shall turn in the morning, and go to your tents.

8 Šest dana jedi beskvasan kruh, a sedmoga dana neka bude svečani zbor u čast Jahvi, Bogu tvome. Posla nikakva ne radi!

Six days you shall eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD your God: you shall do no work therein.

9 Nabroj sedam tjedana; a tih sedam tjedana uzmi brojiti kad srp počne žeti klasje.

Seven weeks shall you number to you: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as you begin to put the sickle to the corn.

10 Tada drži Blagdan sedmica u čast Jahvi, Bogu svome, prinoseći dragovoljni prinos iz svoje ruke, kako te već Jahve, Bog tvoj, bude blagoslovio.

And you shall keep the feast of weeks to the LORD your God with a tribute of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give to the LORD your God, according as the LORD your God has blessed you:

11 I proveseli se tada u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga - na mjestu što ga Jahve, Bog tvoj, odabere da ondje nastani ime svoje - ti, sin tvoj i kći tvoja, sluga tvoj i sluškinja tvoja, levit koji bude u tvome gradu, došljak, sirota i udovica što budu kod tebe.

And you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite that is within your gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD your God has chosen to place his name there.

12 Sjećaj se da si i sam bio rob u Egiptu. Zato drži i vrši ove uredbe.

And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt: and you shall observe and do these statutes.

13 Blagdan sjenica slavi sedam dana pošto pokupiš plodove sa svoga gumna i iz svoga badnja.

You shall observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that you have gathered in your corn and your wine:

14 Proveseli se na svoj blagdan ti, sin tvoj, kći tvoja, sluga tvoj, sluškinja tvoja, levit i došljak, sirota i udovica što se nađe u tvome gradu.

And you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within your gates.

15 Svetkuj u čast Jahvi, Bogu svome, sedam dana na mjestu koje odabere Jahve, jer će te Jahve, Bog tvoj, blagoslovom obasipati u svim tvojim žetvama, u svakom poslu ruku tvojih, da budeš potpuno veseo.

Seven days shall you keep a solemn feast to the LORD your God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD your God shall bless you in all your increase, and in all the works of your hands, therefore you shall surely rejoice.

16 Triput u godini neka se pokažu svi tvoji muškarci pred Jahvom, Bogom tvojim, na mjestu koje on odabere: na Blagdan beskvasnog kruha, na Blagdan sedmica i na Blagdan sjenica. Ali neka nitko ne dođe pred Jahvu praznih ruku,

Three times in a year shall all your males appear before the LORD your God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:

17 nego neka svatko prinese što može, prema blagoslovu koji ti je udijelio Jahve, Bog tvoj.

Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which he has given you.

18 U svakom gradu koji ti dade Jahve, Bog tvoj, postavi suce i nadglednike za svoja plemena da narodom pravedno upravljaju.

Judges and officers shall you make you in all your gates, which the LORD your God gives you, throughout your tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.

19 Ne iskrivljuj pravde; ne budi pristran; ne primaj mita, jer mito zasljepljuje oči mudrih, a ugrožava stvar pravednih.

You shall not wrest judgment; you shall not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift does blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

20 Teži za samom pravdom, da dugo živiš i zaposjedneš zemlju koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje.

That which is altogether just shall you follow, that you may live, and inherit the land which the LORD your God gives you.

21 Ne postavljaj ašere ni od kakva drveta oko žrtvenika Jahve, Boga svoga, koji podigneš;

You shall not plant you a grove of any trees near to the altar of the LORD your God, which you shall make you.

22 i ne podiži stupova, jer su na zazor Jahvi, Bogu tvome.

Neither shall you set you up any image; which the LORD your God hates.
