Levitski zakonik 20

1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Kaži Izraelcima: 'Tko god, Izraelac, ili stranac koji živi s Izraelcima, ustupi svoje čedo Moleku, mora se smaknuti; narod zemlje neka ga kamenuje.

You shall also say to the children of Israel, If [there shall be] any of the children of Israel, or of those who have become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the nation upon the land shall stone him with stones.

3 Ja ću se okrenuti protiv toga čovjeka i odstraniti ga iz njegova naroda, jer je on, ustupivši svoje čedo Moleku, okaljao moje Svetište i obeščastio moje sveto ime.

And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me.

4 A ako narod zatvori svoje oči nad tim čovjekom kad svoje čedo ustupi Moleku te ga ne smakne,

And if the natives of the land should in anyway overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death;

5 ja ću se suprotstaviti tome čovjeku i njegovoj obitelji; odstranit ću ih iz njihova naroda, njega i sve koji poslije njega pođu za Molekom da se podaju bludu s Molekom.

then will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from their people.

6 Ako se tko obrati na zazivače duhova i vračare da se za njima poda javnom bludu, ja ću se okrenuti protiv takva čovjeka i odstranit ću ga iz njegova naroda.

And the soul that shall follow those who have in them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my face against that soul, and will destroy it from amongst its people.

7 Posvećujte se da budete sveti! TÓa ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.

And you shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy.

8 Držite moje zakone i vršite ih. Ja, Jahve, posvećujem vas'.”

And you shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies you.

9 “Tko god prokune svoga oca i svoju majku, neka se smakne. Jer je oca svoga i majku svoju prokleo, neka njegova krv padne na nj.

Every man who shall speak evil of his father or of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his father or his mother? he shall be guilty.

10 Čovjek koji počini preljub sa ženom svoga susjeda neka se kazni smrću - i preljubnik i preljubnica.

Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbour, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress.

11 Čovjek koji bi legao sa ženom svoga oca - otkrio bi golotinju svoga oca - neka se oboje kazne smrću, krv njihova neka padne na njih.

And if any one should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty.

12 Legne li tko sa svojom snahom, neka se oboje kazne smrću. Učinili su rodoskvrnuće i neka krv njihova padne na njih.

And if any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are guilty.

13 Ako bi muškarac legao s muškarcem kao što se liježe sa ženom, obojica bi počinila odvratno djelo. Neka se smaknu i krv njihova neka padne na njih.

And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty.

14 Čovjek koji se oženi kćerju i njezinom majkom - krajnja je to pokvarenost! - neka se u vatri spali i on i one, da među vama ne bude pokvarenosti.

Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be iniquity amongst you.

15 Čovjek koji bi spolno općio sa životinjom ima se smaknuti. Životinju ubijte!

And whoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and you shall kill the beast.

16 Ako bi se žena primakla bilo kakvoj životinji da se s njom pari, ubij i ženu i životinju. Neka se smaknu i njihova krv neka padne na njih.

And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, you shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty.

17 Čovjek koji bi se oženio svojom sestrom, kćerju svoga oca ili kćerju svoje majke te vidio njezinu golotinju, a ona vidjela njegovu - pogrdno je to djelo! - neka se istrijebe pred očima naroda. Otkrio je golotinju svoje sestre, pa neka snosi i posljedice svoje krivnje.

Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, they shall bear their sin.

18 Čovjek koji bi legao sa ženom za njezina mjesečnog pranja te otkrio njezinu golotinju - razgolio izvor njezine krvi i ona sama otkrila izvor svoje krvi - neka se oboje odstrane iz svoga naroda.

And whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set apart [for a flux], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall both be destroyed from amongst their generation.

19 Ne otkrivaj golotinje sestre svoje majke niti sestre svoga oca - to je otkrivanje golotinje svoga roda, neka snose posljedice svoje krivnje.

And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, or of the sister of your mother; for that man has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin: they shall bear their iniquity.

20 Čovjek koji bi legao sa svojom strinom otkrio bi golotinju svoga strica. Neka snose posljedice svoga grijeha: neka umru bez poroda.

Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin to him: they shall die childless.

21 Čovjek koji bi se oženio ženom svoga brata - golotinju bi svoga brata otkrio - i to je nečisto. Neka ostanu bez poroda.”

Whoever shall take his brother's wife, it is uncleanness; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall die childless.

22 “Zato držite sve moje zakone, sve moje naredbe i vršite ih da vas ne ispljune zemlja u koju vas vodim da se u njoj nastanite.

And keep you all my ordinances, and my judgements; and you shall do them, and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into which I bring you to dwell upon it.

23 Nemojte živjeti po zakonima naroda koje ja ispred vas tjeram. TÓa oni su činili sve to, i zato mi se zgadili.

And walk you not in the customs of the nations which I drive out from before you; for they have done all these things, and I have abhorred them:

24 A vama sam ja rekao: vi ćete zaposjesti njihovu zemlju; vama ću je predati u posjed - zemlju kojom teče mlijeko i med. Ja sam Jahve, vaš Bog, koji sam vas odvojio od tih naroda.

and I said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey: I [am] the Lord your God, who have separated you from all people.

25 Pravite, dakle, razliku između čiste životinje i nečiste; između čiste ptice i nečiste. Nemojte sami sebe opoganjivati ni životinjom, ni pticom, ni bilo čim što zemljom puže: što sam vam ja odlučio kao nečisto.

And you shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and you shall not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness.

26 Budite mi dakle sveti, jer sam ja, Jahve, svet; ja sam vas odvojio od tih naroda da budete moji.

And you shall be holy to me; because I the Lord your God [am] holy, who separated you from all nations, to be mine.

27 Čovjek ili žena koji među vama postanu zazivači duhova ili vračari neka se kazne smrću; neka se kamenuju i neka njihova krv padne na njih.”

And [as for] a man or woman whoever of them shall have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: you shall stone them with stones, they are guilty.
