Izlazak 23
1 “Nemojte davati lažne izjave! Ne pomaži zlikovcu svjedočeći krivo!
You shall not receive a vain report: you shall not agree with the unjust [man] to become an unjust witness.
2 Ne povodi se za mnoštvom da činiš zlo; niti svjedoči u parnici stajući na stranu većine protiv pravde.
You shall not associate with the multitude for evil; you shall not join yourself with a multitude to turn aside with the majority so as to shut out judgment.
3 Ne smiješ biti pristran prema siromahu u njegovoj parnici.
And you shall not spare a poor man in judgment.
4 Kad nabasaš na zalutalo goveče ili magare svoga neprijatelja, moraš mu ga natrag dovesti.
And if you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall turn them back and restore them to him.
5 Ako opaziš magarca onoga koji te mrzi kako je pao pod svojim tovarom, nemoj ga ostaviti: zajedno s njegovim gospodarom moraš mu pomoći da se digne.
And if you see your enemy's ass fallen under its burden, you shall not pass by it, but shall help to raise it with him.
6 Ne krnji prava svome siromahu u njegovoj parnici.
You shall not wrest the sentence of the poor in his judgment.
7 Stoj daleko od lažne optužbe; ne ubijaj nedužna i pravedna, jer ja zlikovcu ne praštam.
You shall abstain from every unjust thing: you shall not kill the innocent and just, and you shall not justify the wicked for gifts.
8 Ne primaj mita, jer mito zasljepljuje i one koji najjasnije gledaju i upropašćuje pravo pravednika.
And you shall not receive gifts; for gifts blind the eyes of the seeing, and corrupt just words.
9 Ne ugnjetavaj pridošlicu! TÓa znate kako je pridošlici; i sami ste bili pridošlice u zemlji egipatskoj.”
And you shall not afflict a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger; for you were yourselves strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 “Šest godina zasijavaj svoju zemlju i njezine plodove pobiri,
Six years you shall sow your land, and gather in the fruits of it.
11 a sedme je godine pusti da počiva neobrađena. Neka se s nje hrani sirotinja tvoga naroda, a što njoj ostane, neka pojede poljska živina. Radi tako i sa svojim vinogradom i svojim maslinikom.
But in the seventh year you shall let it rest, and leave it, and the poor of your nation shall feed; and the wild beasts of the field shall eat that which remains: thus shall you do to your vineyard and to your oliveyard.
12 Šest dana obavljaj svoj posao, ali sedmoga dana od posala odustani, da ti otpočine vo i magarac i da odahne sin tvoje sluškinje i pridošlica.
Six days shall you do your works, and on the seventh day there shall be rest, that your ox and your ass may rest, and that the son of your maidservant and the stranger may be refreshed.
13 Pripazite na sve što sam vam rekao. Ne spominjite imena drugih bogova. Neka se to i ne čuje iz tvojih usta.”
Observe all things whatever I have commanded you; and you shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall they be heard out of your mouth.
14 “Triput na godinu održavaj u moju čast svetkovinu.
Keep you a feast to me three times in the year.
15 Slavi Blagdan beskvasnoga kruha. U određeno vrijeme u mjesecu Abibu - jer si u njemu iz Egipta izišao - sedam dana jedi beskvasan kruh, kako sam ti naredio. Neka nitko ne stupa preda me praznih ruku!
Take heed to keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I charged you at the season of the month of new [corn], for in it you came out of Egypt: you shall not appear before me empty.
16 Onda slavi Blagdan žetve - prvina što ih donose polja koja zasijavaš. Zatim Blagdan berbe na koncu godine, kad s polja pokupiš plodove svoga truda.
And you shall keep the feast of the harvest of first fruits of your labors, whatever you shall have sown in your field, and the feast of completion at the end of the year in the gathering in of your fruits out of your field.
17 Triput na godinu neka svi tvoji muški stupe pred Gospodara Jahvu.
Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord your God.
18 Krv žrtve koju u moju čast žrtvuješ nemoj prinositi s ukvasanim kruhom; salo od žrtve prinesene na moju svetkovinu ne ostavljaj za sutradan.
For when I shall have cast out the nations from before you, and shall have widened your borders, you shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, neither must the fat of my feast abide till the morning.
19 Donosi u kuću Jahve, svoga Boga, najbolje prvine sa svoje zemlje. Ne kuhaj kozleta u mlijeku njegove majke.”
You shall bring the first-offerings of the first fruits of your land into the house of the Lord your God. You shall not seethe a lamb in its mother's milk.
20 “Šaljem, evo, svog anđela pred tobom da te čuva na putu i dovede te u mjesto koje sam priredio.
And, behold, I send my angel before your face, that he may keep you in the way, that he may bring you into the land which I have prepared for you.
21 Poštuj ga i slušaj! Ne buni se protiv njega, jer vam neće opraštati prekršaje: tÓa moje je ime u njemu.
Take heed to yourself and listen to him, and disobey him not; for he will not give way to you, for my name is on him.
22 Ako mu se budeš vjerno pokoravao i budeš vršio sve što sam naredio, ja ću biti neprijatelj tvojim neprijateljima i protivnik tvojim protivnicima.
If you will indeed hear my voice, and if you will do all the things I shall charge you with, and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations, for the whole earth is mine; and you shall be to me a royal priesthood, and a holy nation: these words shall you speak to the children of Israel, If you shall indeed hear my voice, and do all the things I shall tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
23 Anđeo će moj ići pred tobom i dovesti te do Amorejaca, Hetita, Perižana, Kanaanaca, Hivijaca i Jebusejaca da ih uništim.
For my angel shall go as your leader, and shall bring you to the Amorite, and Chettite, and Pherezite, and Chananite, and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and I will destroy them.
24 Nemoj se klanjati njihovim kumirima niti im iskazuj štovanje; ne postupaj kako oni rade nego njihove kumire poruši i stupove im porazbijaj.
You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them: you shall not do according to their works, but shall utterly destroy them, and break to pieces their pillars.
25 Iskazujte štovanje Jahvi, Bogu svome, pa ću blagoslivati tvoj kruh i tvoju vodu i uklanjati od tebe bolest.
And you shall serve the Lord your God, and I will bless your bread and your wine and your water, and I will turn away sickness from you.
26 U tvojoj zemlji neće biti pometkinje; ja ću učiniti punim broj tvojih dana.
There shall not be on your land one that is impotent or barren. I will surely fulfil the number of your days.
27 Pred tobom ću odaslati stravu svoju; u metež ću baciti sav svijet među koji dospiješ i učinit ću da svi tvoji neprijatelji bježe pred tobom.
And I will send terror before you, and I will strike with amazement all the nations to which you shall come, and I will make all your enemies to flee.
28 Stršljene ću pred tobom odašiljati da ispred tebe tjeraju u bijeg Hivijce, Kanaance i Hetite.
And I will send hornets before you, and you shall cast out the Amorites and the Evites, and the Chananites and the Chettites from you.
29 Neću ih otjerati ispred tebe u jednoj godini, da zemlja ne opusti i divlje se životinje ne razmnože na tvoju štetu.
I will not cast them out in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against you.
30 Tjerat ću ih ispred tebe malo-pomalo dok ti potomstvo ne odraste, tako da zemlju zaposjedneš.
By little [and little] I will cast them out from before you, until you shall be increased and inherit the earth.
31 Postavit ću ti granicu: od Crvenoga do Filistejskoga mora, od pustinje pa do Rijeke. Predat ću, naime, stanovništvo zemlje u tvoje šake, a ti ga ispred sebe tjeraj.
And I will set your borders from the Red Sea, to the sea of the Phylistines, and from the wilderness to the great river Euphrates; and I will give into your hand those that dwell in the land, and will cast them out from you.
32 Ne pravi savez ni s njima ni s njihovim kumirima.
You shall make no covenant with them and their gods.
33 Neka ne ostanu u tvojoj zemlji da te ne navode na grijeh protiv mene. Ako bi štovao njihove kumire, to bi ti bila stupica.”
And they shall not dwell in your land, lest they cause you to sin against me; for if you should serve their gods, these will be an offense to you.
