Ponovljeni zakon 23
1 Neka se u Jahvinu zajednicu ne prima onaj komu je stučena mošnjica ili odrezano udo.
He who is emasculated by crushing or cutting shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly.
2 Ni mješanac neka se ne prima u Jahvinu zajednicu; neka se njegovi ne primaju u zajednicu Jahvinu ni do desetog koljena.
A person born of a forbidden union shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one of his enter into the LORD’s assembly.
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.
An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one belonging to them enter into the LORD’s assembly forever,
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 didn’t meet you with bread and with water on the way when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse 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.
Nevertheless the LORD your God wouldn’t listen to Balaam, but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the LORD your God loved you.
6 Nikad ne promiči njihovo blagostanje i njihovo dobro u sve dane svoje dovijeka.
You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
7 Nemoj prezirati Edomca, jer je on brat tvoj. Ne preziri ni Egipćanina, jer si bio došljak u zemlji njegovoj.
You shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is your brother. You shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
8 Njihovi potomci u trećem naraštaju mogu se primiti u Jahvinu zajednicu.
The children of the third generation who are born to them may enter into the LORD’s assembly.
9 Kad pođeš s taborom na svoje neprijatelje, čuvaj se od svakoga zla.
When you go out and camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves 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 there is amongst you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens to him by night, then shall he go outside of the camp. He shall not come within the camp;
11 A predvečer neka se u vodi opere te u smiraje može opet u tabor.
but it shall be, when evening comes, he shall bathe himself in water. When the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
12 Imaj izvan tabora mjesto gdje ćeš ići napolje.
You shall have a place also outside of the camp where you go relieve yourself.
13 Sa svojom opremom nosi i lopaticu: njome ćeš, kad ideš napolje, iskopati rupu i poslije zatrpati svoju nečist.
You shall have a trowel amongst your weapons. It shall be, when you relieve yourself, you shall dig with it, and shall turn back and cover your excrement;
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 walks in the middle of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you. Therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.
15 Ne smiješ gospodaru izručivati roba koji je od svoga gospodara utekao k tebi.
You shall not deliver to his master a servant who has escaped from his master 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.
He shall dwell with you, amongst you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best. You shall not oppress him.
17 Neka ne bude svetišne bludnice među izraelskim kćerima i neka ne bude svetišnog bludnika među izraelskim sinovima!
There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
18 Ne donosi u Dom Jahve, Boga svoga, ni za kakav zavjet bludničine plaće ni pasjeg novca, jer je oboje odvratno Jahvi, Bogu tvome.
You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a male prostitute, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow; for both of these are an abomination 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.
You shall not lend on interest to your brother: interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest.
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.
You may charge a foreigner interest; but you shall not charge your brother interest, that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to possess it.
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 vow a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not be slack to pay it, for the LORD your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
22 Ako se ne zavjetuješ, neće ti biti grijeh.
But if you refrain from making a vow, it shall be no sin in you.
23 Ali ispuni ono što prijeđe preko tvojih usana, zavjet koji si svojim ustima slobodno učinio Jahvi, Bogu svome.
You shall observe and do that which has gone out of your lips. Whatever you have vowed to the LORD your God as a free will offering, which you have promised with your mouth, you must do.
24 Ako uđeš u vinograd svoga susjeda, slobodno ti je zobati grožđa do mile volje, ali u svoj sud ne smiješ stavljati.
When you come into your neighbour’s vineyard, then you may eat your fill of grapes at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your container.
25 Ako uđeš u žito svoga susjeda, možeš kidati klasove rukom, ali ne smiješ prinositi srpa susjedovu žitu.
When you come into your neighbour’s standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbour’s standing grain.
