Ponovljeni zakon 22
1 Kad vidiš kako luta vol ili ovca tvoga brata, nemoj proći mimo njih nego ih otjeraj svome bratu.
Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and without thy help from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again to thy brother.
2 Ako ti brat nije blizu ili ga ne znaš, kući ih svojoj dotjeraj pa neka ostanu kod tebe dokle brat tvoj ne dođe po njih. Tada mu ih vrati.
And if thy brother shall not be near to thee, or if thou shalt not know him, then thou shalt bring it to thy own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother shall seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.
3 Tako čini s njegovim magarcem, s njegovim ogrtačem i sa svime što brat tvoj izgubi, a ti nađeš. Nije ti dopušteno prolaziti mimo njegovo.
In like manner shalt thou do with his donkey; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost things of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not without thy help.
4 Kad opaziš kako se magarac tvoga brata ili njegov vol svalio na putu, ne kloni se nego mu pomozi da ih podigne.
Thou shalt not see thy brother’s donkey or his ox fall down by the way, and without thy help from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.
5 Žena ne smije na se stavljati muške odjeće, a muškarac se ne smije oblačiti u ženske haljine. Tko bi to činio bio bi odvratan Jahvi, Bogu svome.
A woman shall not wear that which pertaineth to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination to the LORD thy God.
6 Ako putem naiđeš na ptičje gnijezdo sa ptićima ili s jajima, na stablu ili na zemlji, a majka bude ležala sa ptićima ili na jajima, nemoj uzimati majke sa ptićima:
If a bird’s nest shall chance to be before thee in the way on any tree, or on the ground, whether with young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:
7 pusti majku na slobodu, a ptiće uzmi. Tako ćeš imati sreću i dug život.
But thou shalt surely let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.
8 Kad gradiš novu kuću, na krovu načini ogradu da svoju kuću, kad bi tko s nje pao, ne okaljaš krvlju.
When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a low wall for thy roof, that thou mayest not bring blood upon thy house, if any man shall fall from there.
9 Po svome vinogradu nemoj sijati drugog usjeva da ne bi bila posvećena čitava ljetina: i plod sjemena i rod vinograda.
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with two kinds of seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, should be defiled.
10 Ne upreži u plug vola i magarca zajedno.
Thou shalt not plow with an ox and a donkey together.
11 Ne oblači se u tkaninu otkanu od vune i lana zajedno.
Thou shalt not wear a garment woven of woollen and linen together.
12 Na četiri roglja ogrtača kojim se zaogrćeš napravi rese.
Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, with which thou coverest thyself.
13 Ako koji čovjek uzme ženu i uđe k njoj, ali je potom zamrzi,
If any man shall take a wife, and go in to her, and hate her,
14 pripiše joj ružnoće i ozloglasi je govoreći: 'Oženih se njome, ali kad joj priđoh, ne nađoh u nje znakova djevičanstva' -
And give occasions of speech against her, and bring an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
15 neka tada djevojčin otac i majka uzmu dokaz djevojčina djevičanstva te ga iznesu pred gradske starješine na vrata.
Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate:
16 Potom neka progovori starješinama djevojčin otac: 'Ovome sam čovjeku dao svoju kćer za ženu, ali mu je omrzla.
And the damsel’s father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man for a wife, and he hateth her;
17 Stoga joj pripisuje svašta ružno i tvrdi: nisam u tvoje kćeri našao znakove djevičanstva. Ali evo djevičanskih znakova moje kćeri!' I neka razastru plahtu pred gradskim starješinama.
And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18 Neka tada starješine onoga grada uzmu muža pa ga kazne;
And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
19 neka ga, zato što je pronio ružan glas o jednoj izraelskoj djevici, udare globom od stotinu srebrnika pa ih dadnu ocu mlade žene. I neka mu ona i dalje bude ženom da je ne može pustiti dok je živ.
And they shall fine him an hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the damsel, because he hath brought an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
20 Ali ako optužba - da se na mladoj ženi nije našlo djevičanstvo - bude istinita,
But if this thing shall be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
21 neka djevojku izvedu na kućna vrata njezina oca pa neka je ljudi njezina grada kamenjem zasiplju dok ne umre, jer je počinila besramnost u Izraelu odajući se bludu u očevu domu. Tako ćeš iskorijeniti zlo iz svoje sredine.
Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she may die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the harlot in her father’s house: so shalt thou remove evil from among you.
22 Ako se koji čovjek zateče gdje leži sa ženom udatom za drugoga, neka oboje - i čovjek koji je ležao sa ženom i sama žena - budu smaknuti. Tako ćeš iskorijeniti zlo iz Izraela.
If a man shall be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou remove evil from Israel.
23 Ako mladu djevicu zaručenu za nekoga u gradu sretne drugi čovjek i s njom legne,
If a damsel that is a virgin shall be betrothed to an husband, and a man shall find her in the city, and lie with her;
24 oboje ih dovedite vratima toga grada pa ih kamenjem zasipljite dok ne umru: djevojku što nije zvala u pomoć u gradu, a čovjeka što je oskvrnuo ženu bližnjega svoga. Tako ćeš iskorijeniti zlo iz svoje sredine.
Then ye shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they may die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt remove evil from among you.
25 Ako čovjek u polju naiđe na zaručenu djevojku i silom legne s njom, onda neka se pogubi samo taj što je s njom legao;
But if a man shall find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man shall force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:
26 a djevojci nemoj ništa: nema na njoj krivnje kojom bi zasluživala smrt. Jer to je kao da navali tko na bližnjega svoga i ubije ga.
But to the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:
27 On ju je zatekao u polju; i premda je zaručena djevojka zapomagala, nije bilo nikoga da joj priskoči u pomoć.
For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
28 Ako čovjek naiđe na mladu djevicu koja nije zaručena te je pograbi i s njom legne, pa budu uhvaćeni na djelu,
If a man shall find a damsel that is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29 tada čovjek koji je s njom ležao neka djevojčinu ocu dade pedeset srebrnika. A budući da ju je oskvrnuo, neka je uzme za ženu da je ne može pustiti dok je živ.
Then the man that lay with her shall give to the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
30 Neka se nitko ne ženi ženom oca svoga i neka ne odgrće očeva pokrivača.
A man shall not take his father’s wife, nor uncover his father’s skirt.
