Levitski zakonik 18
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Govori Izraelcima i reci im: 'Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: I am the Lord your God.
3 Nemojte raditi kako se radi u zemlji egipatskoj, gdje ste boravili; niti radite kako se radi u zemlji kanaanskoj, kamo vas vodim; ne povodite se za njihovim običajima!
You shall not do according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you dwelt: neither shall you act according to the manner of the country of Chanaan, into which I will bring you, nor shall you walk in their ordinances.
4 Vršite moje naredbe; vršite moje zapovijedi; prema njima hodite. Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.
You shall do my judgments, and shall observe my precepts, and shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God.
5 Zato držite moje zakone i moje naredbe; tko ih vrši - u njima će naći život. Ja sam Jahve!
Keep my laws and my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them. I am the Lord.
6 Neka se nitko od vas ne približuje svojoj krvnoj rodbini da otkriva njezinu golotinju. Ja sam Jahve!
No man shall approach to her that is near of kin to him, to uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord.
7 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoga oca ni golotinje svoje majke. Majka ti je, ne otkrivaj njezine golotinje!
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother: she is thy mother, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8 Ne otkrivaj golotinje žene svoga oca! I to je golotinja tvoga oca!
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s wife: for it is the nakedness of thy father.
9 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoje sestre - kćeri svoga oca ili kćeri svoje majke - bila rođena u kući ili izvan nje!
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy sister by father or by mother, whether born at home or abroad.
10 Ne otkrivaj golotinje kćeri svoga sina niti golotinje kćeri svoje kćeri! TÓa njihova je golotinja tvoja vlastita golotinja.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or thy daughter’s daughter: because it is thy own nakedness.
11 Ne otkrivaj golotinje kćeri žene svoga oca! Jer, rođena od tvog oca, ona ti je sestra.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, whom she bore to thy father, and who is thy sister.
12 Ne otkrivaj golotinje sestre svoga oca! Ona je krv tvoga oca.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: because she is the flesh of thy father.
13 Ne otkrivaj ni golotinje sestre svoje majke! Ta i ona je krv tvoje majke!
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: because she is thy mother’s flesh.
14 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoga strica! To jest, nemoj se približavati njegovoj ženi. Ta ona je tvoja strina.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother: neither shalt thou approach to his wife, who is joined to thee by affinity.
15 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoje snahe! Ona je žena tvoga sina. Ne otkrivaj golotinje njezine.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: because she is thy son’s wife, neither shalt thou discover her shame.
16 Ne otkrivaj golotinje žene svoga brata! Ta to je golotinja tvoga brata.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: because it is the nakedness of thy brother.
17 Ne otkrivaj golotinje koje žene i njezine kćeri! Nemoj se ženiti kćerju njezina sina niti kćerju njezine kćeri te im golotinju otkrivati. Oni su krvna rodbina. To bi bila pokvarenost.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy wife and her daughter. Thou shalt not take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, to discover her shame: because they are her flesh, and such copulation is incest.
18 Ne uzimaj sebi koju ženu u isto vrijeme kad i njezinu sestru da je ljubomorom žalostiš otkrivajući golotinju ovoj preko nje za njezina života!
Thou shalt not take thy wife’s sister for a harlot, to rival her, neither shalt thou discover her nakedness, while she is yet living.
19 Ne približuj se ni jednoj ženi kad je u nečistoći svoga mjesečnog pranja da joj otkrivaš golotinju!
Thou shalt not approach to a woman having her flowers, neither shalt thou uncover her nakedness.
20 Ne lijegaj sa ženom bližnjega svoga; od nje bi postao nečist.
Thou shalt not lie with thy neighbour’s wife, nor be defiled with mingling of seed.
21 Ne smiješ dopuštati da koje tvoje dijete bude žrtvovano Moleku; ne smiješ tako obeščašćivati ime Boga svoga. Ja sam Jahve!
Thou shalt not give any of thy seed to be consecrated to the idol Moloch, nor defile the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
22 Ne lijegaj s muškarcem kako se liježe sa ženom! To bi bila grozota.
Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind, because it is an abomination.
23 Da nisi legao ni s jednom životinjom - od nje bi postao nečist. Žena ne smije stati pred životinju da se s njom pari. To bi bila krajnja opačina.
Thou shalt not copulate with any beast, neither shalt thou be defiled with it. A woman shall not lie down to a beast, nor copulate with it: because it is a heinous crime.
24 Ničim se od toga nemojte onečišćavati! Ta svim su se tim onečišćavali narodi koje ja ispred vas tjeram.
Defile not yourselves with any of these things with which all the nations have been defiled, which I will cast out before you,
25 I zemlja je postala nečista. Zato ću kazniti njezinu opačinu, i zemlja će ispljuvati svoje stanovnike.
And with which the land is defiled: the abominations of which I will visit, that it may vomit out its inhabitants.
26 Vi pak držite moje zakone i moje naredbe: ni jedne od tih opačina nemojte počinjati - ni vi ni stranac koji među vama boravi.
Keep ye my ordinances and my judgments, and do not any of these abominations: neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you.
27 Sve je te zloće počinjao svijet koji je bio u toj zemlji prije vas te je zemlja postala nečista.
For all these detestable things the inhabitants of the land have done, that; were before you, and have defiled it.
28 Neće li, ako je učinite nečistom, zemlja ispljuvati i vas kako je ispljuvala narod koji je bio prije vas?
Beware then, lest in like manner, it vomit you also out, if you do the like things, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29 Jest, svi koji bi počinili bilo koju od tih zloća bit će odstranjeni iz svoga naroda.
Every soul that shall commit any of these abominations, shall perish from the midst of his people.
30 Zato držite moje zapovijedi; nemojte se podavati ni jednome od onih odvratnih običaja što su se održavali prije vas; tako se njima nećete onečistiti. Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš!'”
Keep my commandments. Do not the things which they have done, that have been before you, and be not defiled therein. I am the Lord your God.
