Ponovljeni zakon 23
1 Neka se u Jahvinu zajednicu ne prima onaj komu je stučena mošnjica ili odrezano udo.
No man whose private parts have been wounded or cut off may come into the meeting of the Lord's people.
2 Ni mješanac neka se ne prima u Jahvinu zajednicu; neka se njegovi ne primaju u zajednicu Jahvinu ni do desetog koljena.
One whose father and mother are not married may not come into the meeting of the Lord's people, or any of his family to the tenth generation.
3 Neka ne ulazi u Jahvinu zajednicu ni Amonac ni Moabac; nitko od njihovih, čak ni u deseto koljeno, ne smije nikad u zajednicu Jahvinu.
No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their people to the tenth generation may come into the meeting of the Lord's people:
4 A sve zato što nisu izašli pred vas s kruhom i vodom kad bijaste na putu izišavši iz Egipta; i što su za novce najmili sina Beorova, Bileama iz Petora u Aram Naharajimu, da te prokune.
Because they gave you no bread or water on your way, when you came out of Egypt: and they got Balaam, the son of Peor, from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to put curses on you.
5 Ali Jahve, Bog tvoj, ne htjede uslišati Bileama nego ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, prometnu prokletstvo u blagoslov jer te ljubi Jahve, Bog tvoj.
But the Lord your God would not give ear to Balaam, but let the curse be changed into a blessing to you, because of his love for you.
6 Nikad ne promiči njihovo blagostanje i njihovo dobro u sve dane svoje dovijeka.
Do nothing for their peace or well-being for ever.
7 Nemoj prezirati Edomca, jer je on brat tvoj. Ne preziri ni Egipćanina, jer si bio došljak u zemlji njegovoj.
But have no hate for an Edomite, because he is your brother, or for an Egyptian, for you were living in his land.
8 Njihovi potomci u trećem naraštaju mogu se primiti u Jahvinu zajednicu.
Their children in the third generation may come into the meeting of the Lord's people.
9 Kad pođeš s taborom na svoje neprijatelje, čuvaj se od svakoga zla.
When you go out to war and put your tents in position, keep from every evil thing.
10 Ako je među tvojima tko postao nečist zbog noćnog izljeva, neka iziđe iz tabora i neka se ne vraća u nj.
If any man among you becomes unclean through anything which has taken place in the night, he is to go out from the tent-circle and keep outside it:
11 A predvečer neka se u vodi opere te u smiraje može opet u tabor.
But when evening comes near, let him take a bath: and after sundown he may come back to the tents.
12 Imaj izvan tabora mjesto gdje ćeš ići napolje.
Let there be a place outside the tent-circle to which you may go;
13 Sa svojom opremom nosi i lopaticu: njome ćeš, kad ideš napolje, iskopati rupu i poslije zatrpati svoju nečist.
And have among your arms a spade; and when you have been to that place, let that which comes from you be covered up with earth:
14 TÓa Jahve, Bog tvoj, ide posred tvoga tabora da te štiti i da ti predaje neprijatelje. Stoga i tvoj tabor treba da bude svet: neka Jahve ne zapazi u tebe ništa nedolično, da se ne bi odvratio od tebe.
For the Lord your God is walking among your tents, to keep you safe and to give up into your hands those who are fighting against you; then let your tents be holy, so that he may see no unclean thing among you, and be turned away from you.
15 Ne smiješ gospodaru izručivati roba koji je od svoga gospodara utekao k tebi.
Do not give back to his master a servant who has gone in flight from his master and come to you:
16 Neka boravi s tobom u tvojoj sredini, u mjestu što ga odabere u jednome od tvojih gradova gdje mu se svidi. Nemoj s njime loše postupati.
Let him go on living among you in whatever place is most pleasing to him: do not be hard on him.
17 Neka ne bude svetišne bludnice među izraelskim kćerima i neka ne bude svetišnog bludnika među izraelskim sinovima!
No daughter of Israel is to let herself be used as a loose woman for a strange god, and no son of Israel is to give himself to a man.
18 Ne donosi u Dom Jahve, Boga svoga, ni za kakav zavjet bludničine plaće ni pasjeg novca, jer je oboje odvratno Jahvi, Bogu tvome.
Do not take into the house of the Lord your God, as an offering for an oath, the price of a loose woman or the money given to one used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: for these two things are disgusting to the Lord your God.
19 Ne traži kamata od svoga brata, niti kamata za novac, niti kamata na jestvine, niti kamata na bilo što gdje se obično traže.
Do not take interest from an Israelite on anything, money or food or any other goods, which you let him have:
20 Od tuđinca možeš tražiti kamate, ali ih od svoga brata nemoj tražiti, da ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, udijeli blagoslov u svakom pothvatu tvoje ruke u zemlji u koju ideš da je zaposjedneš.
From men of other nations you may take interest, but not from an Israelite: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on everything to which you put your hand, in the land which you are about to take as your heritage.
21 Kad zavjetuješ kakav zavjet Jahvi, Bogu svome, ne oklijevaj da ga ispuniš. Zacijelo će ga Jahve, Bog tvoj, od tebe tražiti; i bio bi ti grijeh.
When you take an oath to the Lord, do not be slow to give effect to it: for without doubt the Lord your God will make you responsible, and will put it to your account as sin.
22 Ako se ne zavjetuješ, neće ti biti grijeh.
But if you take no oath, there will be no sin.
23 Ali ispuni ono što prijeđe preko tvojih usana, zavjet koji si svojim ustima slobodno učinio Jahvi, Bogu svome.
Whatever your lips have said, see that you do it; for you gave your word freely to the Lord your God.
24 Ako uđeš u vinograd svoga susjeda, slobodno ti je zobati grožđa do mile volje, ali u svoj sud ne smiješ stavljati.
When you go into your neighbour's vine-garden, you may take of his grapes at your pleasure, but you may not take them away in your vessel.
25 Ako uđeš u žito svoga susjeda, možeš kidati klasove rukom, ali ne smiješ prinositi srpa susjedovu žitu.
When you go into your neighbour's field, you may take the heads of grain with your hand; but you may not put your blade to his grain.
