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,
If a man take a wife, and have her, and she find not favour in his eyes, for some uncleanness: he shall write a bill of divorce, and shall give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 a ona izađe iz njegove kuće, ode i pođe za drugoga
And when she is departed, and marrieth another husband,
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 he also hateth her, and hath given her a bill of divorce, and hath sent her out of his house or is dead:
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.
The former husband cannot take her again to wife: because she is defiled, and is become abominable before the Lord: lest thou cause thy land to sin, which the Lord thy God shall give thee to possess.
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 lately taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any public business be enjoined him, but he shall be free at home without fault, that for one year he may rejoice with his wife.
6 Neka se ne uzima u zalog žrvanj, ni gornji ni donji: tÓa time bi se u zalog uzimao sam život.
Thou shalt not take the nether, nor the upper millstone to pledge: for he hath pledged his life to thee.
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 any man be found soliciting his brother of the children of Israel, and selling him shall take a price, he shall be put to death, and thou shalt take away the evil from the midst of thee.
8 Javi li se guba, pazi da brižno držiš i vršiš sve što vas pouče levitski svećenici. Držite i vršite što njima naredim.
Observe diligently that thou incur not the stroke of the leprosy, but thou shalt do whatsoever the priests of the Levitical race shall teach thee, according to what I have commanded them, and fulfill thou it carefully.
9 Sjećaj se što je Jahve, Bog tvoj, učinio Mirjami na putu kad ste izišli iz Egipta.
Remember what the Lord your God did to Mary, in the way when you came out of Egypt.
10 Kada bližnjemu svome daješ bilo kakav zajam, nemoj ulaziti u njegovu kuću da mu uzmeš zalog.
When thou shalt demand of thy neighbour any thing that he oweth thee, thou shalt not go into his house to take away a pledge:
11 Stoj vani, a čovjek komu si dao zajam neka ti iznese zalog van.
But then shalt stand without, and he shall bring out to thee what he hath.
12 A ako on bude siromah, nemoj lijegati s njegovim zalogom;
But if he be poor, the pledge shall not lodge with thee that night,
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.
But thou shalt restore it to him presently before the going down of the sun: that he may sleep in his own raiment and bless thee, and thou mayst have justice before the Lord thy God.
14 Nemoj zakidati jadnoga i bijednog najamnika, bio on tvoj sunarodnjak ili došljak iz kojega grada u tvojoj zemlji.
Thou shalt not refuse the hire of the needy, and the poor, whether he be thy brother, or a stranger that dwelleth with thee in the land, and is 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.
But thou shalt pay him the price of his labour the same day, before the going down of the sun, because he is poor, and with it maintaineth his life: lest he cry against thee to the Lord, and it be reputed to thee for a sin.
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 children, nor the children for the fathers, but every one shall die 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 nor of the fatherless, neither shalt thou take away the widow’s raiment for a pledge.
18 Sjećaj se da si bio rob u Egiptu i da te odande izbavio Jahve, Bog tvoj; zato ti nalažem da ovu zapovijed vršiš.
Remember that thou wast a slave in Egypt, and the Lord thy God delivered 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 hast reaped the corn in thy field, and hast forgot and left a sheaf, thou shalt not return to take it away: but thou shalt suffer the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow to tabs it away: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands.
20 Kad jednom omlatiš svoje masline, više iza sebe ne pretražuj; neka to ostane došljaku, siroti i udovici.
If thou have gathered the fruit of thy olive trees, thou shalt not return to gather whatsoever remaineth on the trees: but shalt leave it for the stranger, for the fatherless, and the widow.
21 Kad obereš svoj vinograd, ne paljetkuj iza sebe; neka to bude za došljaka, sirotu i udovicu.
If thou make the vintage of thy vineyard, thou shalt not gather the clusters that remain, but they shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow.
22 Sjećaj se kako si bio rob u zemlji egipatskoj; zato ti naređujem da ovu zapovijed vršiš.
Remember that thou also wast a bondman in Egypt, and therefore I command thee to do this thing.
