< Ponovljeni zakon 24 >

1 Kada tko uzme ženu i s njome postupi kao muž, a potom na njoj otkrije što ružno te ona više ne nalazi milosti u njegovim očima i on joj napiše otpusno pismo, uruči joj ga i potjera je iz svoje kuće,
When a man taketh a wife, and marrieth her, it shall be if she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a letter of divorce, and give it into her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 a ona izađe iz njegove kuće, ode i pođe za drugoga
And she shall depart out of his house, and go away, and may become another man's wife.
3 pa omrzne i tome drugomu te joj i on napiše otpusno pismo, uruči joj ga i otjera je iz svoje kuće - ili pak umre taj koji ju je drugi uzeo -
And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a letter of divorce, and give it into her hand, and send her out of his house; or if the latter husband die who took her as his wife;
4 tada je, pošto se tako oskvrnula, ne može opet uzeti za ženu onaj prvi muž koji je bijaše otpustio. Bilo bi to odvratno pred Jahvom; ne smiješ uvaljivati u grijeh zemlju koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje u baštinu.
her first husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for it is an abomination before Jehovah; and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
5 Kad se tko netom oženi, neka ne ide u vojsku; neka mu se ne dodjeljuje nikakva služba, nego, oslobođen, neka ostane kod kuće godinu dana da razveseljuje ženu koju je doveo.
When a man hath newly taken a wife, he shall not go out with the army, neither shall any kind of business be imposed upon him; he shall be free for his house one year, and shall gladden his wife whom he hath taken.
6 Neka se ne uzima u zalog žrvanj, ni gornji ni donji: tÓa time bi se u zalog uzimao sam život.
No man shall take the hand-mill or the upper millstone in pledge; for it would be taking life in pledge.
7 Ako se nađe tko da otme koga između svoje braće Izraelaca te postupi s njim kao s robom ili ga proda, taj otmičar neka se smakne! Tako ćeš iskorijeniti zlo iz svoje sredine.
If a man be found who hath stolen one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and who hath treated him as a slave and sold him, that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.
8 Javi li se guba, pazi da brižno držiš i vršiš sve što vas pouče levitski svećenici. Držite i vršite što njima naredim.
Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou take great heed, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them shall ye take heed to do.
9 Sjećaj se što je Jahve, Bog tvoj, učinio Mirjami na putu kad ste izišli iz Egipta.
Remember what Jehovah thy God did unto Miriam on the way, after that ye came forth out of Egypt.
10 Kada bližnjemu svome daješ bilo kakav zajam, nemoj ulaziti u njegovu kuću da mu uzmeš zalog.
When thou dost lend thy brother anything, thou shalt not go into his house to secure his pledge.
11 Stoj vani, a čovjek komu si dao zajam neka ti iznese zalog van.
Thou shalt stand outside, and the man to whom thou hast made a loan shall bring out the pledge to thee without.
12 A ako on bude siromah, nemoj lijegati s njegovim zalogom;
And if the man be needy, thou shalt not lie down with his pledge;
13 o zalasku sunca moraš mu vratiti zalog da on mogne spavati u svome ogrtaču i tebe blagoslivljati. To će ti biti dobro djelo pred Jahvom, Bogom tvojim.
in any case thou shalt return him the pledge at the going down of the sun, that he may sleep in his own upper garment and bless thee; and it shall be righteousness unto thee before Jehovah thy God.
14 Nemoj zakidati jadnoga i bijednog najamnika, bio on tvoj sunarodnjak ili došljak iz kojega grada u tvojoj zemlji.
Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant [who is] poor and needy of thy brethren, or of thy sojourners who are in thy land within thy gates:
15 Svaki dan daj mu zaradu prije nego sunce zađe, jer je siromah i za njom uzdiše. Tako neće na te vapiti Jahvi i nećeš sagriješiti.
on his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and his soul yearneth after it; lest he cry against thee to Jehovah, and it be a sin in thee.
16 Neka se očevi ne osuđuju na smrt zbog sinova ni sinovi zbog očeva; neka svatko za svoj grijeh gine.
The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, neither shall the sons be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 Ne izvrći pravice došljaku ni siroti i ne uzimaj u zalog haljine udovici.
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, [or] of the fatherless; and thou shalt not take in pledge a widow's garment.
18 Sjećaj se da si bio rob u Egiptu i da te odande izbavio Jahve, Bog tvoj; zato ti nalažem da ovu zapovijed vršiš.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and that Jehovah thy God redeemed thee from thence; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
19 Kad žanješ žito na svojoj njivi pa zaboraviš koji snop na njivi, ne vraćaj se po nj; neka ostane došljaku, siroti i udovici da te Jahve, Bog tvoj, blagoslovi u svakom pothvatu ruku tvojih.
When thou reapest thy harvest in thy field, and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not return to fetch it; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands.
20 Kad jednom omlatiš svoje masline, više iza sebe ne pretražuj; neka to ostane došljaku, siroti i udovici.
When thou shakest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
21 Kad obereš svoj vinograd, ne paljetkuj iza sebe; neka to bude za došljaka, sirotu i udovicu.
When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterwards; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
22 Sjećaj se kako si bio rob u zemlji egipatskoj; zato ti naređujem da ovu zapovijed vršiš.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
