Levitski zakonik 18
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Yahweh said to Moses,
2 “Govori Izraelcima i reci im: 'Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.
“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am Yahweh 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 as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived. You shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. You shall not follow their statutes.
4 Vršite moje naredbe; vršite moje zapovijedi; prema njima hodite. Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.
You shall do my ordinances. You shall keep my statutes and walk in them. I am Yahweh your God.
5 Zato držite moje zakone i moje naredbe; tko ih vrši - u njima će naći život. Ja sam Jahve!
You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am Yahweh.
6 Neka se nitko od vas ne približuje svojoj krvnoj rodbini da otkriva njezinu golotinju. Ja sam Jahve!
“‘None of you shall approach any close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am Yahweh.
7 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoga oca ni golotinje svoje majke. Majka ti je, ne otkrivaj njezine golotinje!
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother: she is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
8 Ne otkrivaj golotinje žene svoga oca! I to je golotinja tvoga oca!
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife. It is your father’s nakedness.
9 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoje sestre - kćeri svoga oca ili kćeri svoje majke - bila rođena u kući ili izvan nje!
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or born abroad.
10 Ne otkrivaj golotinje kćeri svoga sina niti golotinje kćeri svoje kćeri! TÓa njihova je golotinja tvoja vlastita golotinja.
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness; for theirs is your own nakedness.
11 Ne otkrivaj golotinje kćeri žene svoga oca! Jer, rođena od tvog oca, ona ti je sestra.
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister.
12 Ne otkrivaj golotinje sestre svoga oca! Ona je krv tvoga oca.
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister. She is your father’s near kinswoman.
13 Ne otkrivaj ni golotinje sestre svoje majke! Ta i ona je krv tvoje majke!
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s near kinswoman.
14 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoga strica! To jest, nemoj se približavati njegovoj ženi. Ta ona je tvoja strina.
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife. She is your aunt.
15 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoje snahe! Ona je žena tvoga sina. Ne otkrivaj golotinje njezine.
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
16 Ne otkrivaj golotinje žene svoga brata! Ta to je golotinja tvoga brata.
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness.
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.
“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near kinswomen. It is wickedness.
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!
“‘You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is still alive.
19 Ne približuj se ni jednoj ženi kad je u nečistoći svoga mjesečnog pranja da joj otkrivaš golotinju!
“‘You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
20 Ne lijegaj sa ženom bližnjega svoga; od nje bi postao nečist.
“‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, and defile yourself with her.
21 Ne smiješ dopuštati da koje tvoje dijete bude žrtvovano Moleku; ne smiješ tako obeščašćivati ime Boga svoga. Ja sam Jahve!
“‘You shall not give any of your children as a sacrifice to Molech. You shall not profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.
22 Ne lijegaj s muškarcem kako se liježe sa ženom! To bi bila grozota.
“‘You shall not lie with a man as with a woman. That is detestable.
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.
“‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. No woman may give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.
24 Ničim se od toga nemojte onečišćavati! Ta svim su se tim onečišćavali narodi koje ja ispred vas tjeram.
“‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.
25 I zemlja je postala nečista. Zato ću kazniti njezinu opačinu, i zemlja će ispljuvati svoje stanovnike.
The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her 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.
You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you
27 Sve je te zloće počinjao svijet koji je bio u toj zemlji prije vas te je zemlja postala nečista.
(for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled),
28 Neće li, ako je učinite nečistom, zemlja ispljuvati i vas kako je ispljuvala narod koji je bio prije vas?
that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, 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.
“‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their 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!'”
Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am Yahweh your God.’”
