Levitski zakonik 26
1 “Ne pravite sebi kumira; ne podižite sebi ni kipa ni spomen-stupa; ne postavljajte u svojoj zemlji kamenja s likovima da pred njih padate.
[Yahweh also said this to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain]: “Do not make idols or set up statues of false gods or sacred stones [to worship other gods]. And do not put on your property a stone that has been shaped [to resemble a false god] and bow down to [worship] it. [You must worship only] me, Yahweh, your God.
2 Održavajte moje subote; poštujte moje Svetište - jer ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.”
“Honor the Sabbath days and revere my Sacred Tent, because I, Yahweh, [live there].
3 “Budete li živjeli prema mojim zakonima, održavali moje zapovijedi i u djelo ih provodili,
“If you carefully obey all my commands [DOU],
4 davat ću vam kiše u pravo vrijeme te će zemlja rađati rodom a stabla po polju donositi plodove.
I will send rain for you at the proper/right times, in order that crops will grow on your land and there will be plenty of fruit on your trees.
5 Vršidba će vam stizati berbu, a berba stizati sjetvu. Jest ćete kruh svoj do sitosti i u svojoj ćete zemlji živjeti u sigurnosti.
You will continue [harvesting and] threshing [grain] until it is time to harvest grapes, and you will continue to harvest grapes until it is time to start planting [things in the following year]. And you will have all the food that you want to eat, and you will live safely in your land.
6 Zemlji ću dati mir; tako ćete počivati a da vas nitko ne plaši. Štetne ću životinje iz zemlje ukloniti; mač neće prolaziti vašom zemljom.
“[If you obey all my laws], there will be peace in your country, and when you lie down [to sleep], nothing will cause you to be afraid. I will get rid of the dangerous animals in your country, and there will no wars [MTY] in your country.
7 U bijeg ćete nagoniti svoje neprijatelje, a oni će padati pred vama od mača.
You will pursue your enemies and kill them with your swords:
8 Petorica vas nagonit će u bijeg stotinu njih, a stotina vas nagonit će u bijeg deset tisuća njih. Da, vaši će neprijatelji padati pred vama od mača.
Five of you will pursue 100 of them, and 100 of you will pursue 1,000 of them and kill them with your swords.
9 K vama ću se okrenuti te vas rodnima činiti i razmnažati. Držat ću svoj Savez s vama.
“[If you obey all my laws], I will bless you and cause you to have many children [DOU]. And I will do what I said that I would do in the agreement that I made with you.
10 Starom ćete se zalihom hraniti; štoviše, trebat će vam zalihe ispražnjavati da mognete sasipati novo žito.
When you are still eating food from the harvest from the previous year, it will be necessary for you to throw away some of it to make space for the new harvest.
11 Među vama ću postaviti svoje Prebivalište i neću vas odbaciti;
I will live among you in my Sacred Tent, and I will never reject you.
12 među vama ću hoditi i bit ću vam Bog, a vi ćete mi biti narod.
I will walk among you and continue to be your God, and you will continue to be my people.
13 Ja, Jahve, Bog vaš, izveo sam vas iz zemlje egipatske da im više ne budete roblje; polomio sam palice vaših jarmova i učinio da hodate uspravno.”
I am Yahweh your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you would no longer be slaves of the people of Egypt. [When you were there, you were treated as though you were animals that worked for the people of Egypt, but] [MET] I broke the bars of the (yokes/frames that were put around your necks) and enabled you to walk with your heads up.”
14 “Ali ako me ne poslušate i u djelo ne provedete sve ove moje zapovijedi;
“But if you will not heed me and obey all these commands,
15 ako odbacite moje zakone, pogazite moje naredbe i prekršite moj Savez, ne provodeći u djelo sve moje zapovijedi,
and if you reject [DOU] my decrees and laws, and do not do [DOU] what I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you,
16 evo što ću ja učiniti vama: podvrgnut ću vas strepnji, iznemoglosti i groznici što oči troše a život gase.
these are the things that I will do to you: I will suddenly cause there to be disasters that will ruin you. You will have diseases that cannot be cured, and fevers that will cause you to become blind and will slowly kill you. It will be useless for you to plant seeds, because your enemies will eat the crops that grow.
17 Sjetve ćete svoje uzalud sijati - neprijatelji vaši njima će se hraniti. Ja ću se protiv vas okrenuti, a vaši će vas neprijatelji ametice tući. Oni koji vas mrze gospodarit će nad vama. Bježat ćete i onda kad vas nitko ne bude progonio.
I will reject/abandon you [IDM], with the result that you will be defeated by your enemies. Then those who hate you will rule you, and [you will be so terrified that] you will run away even when no one is pursuing you.
18 Pa ako me i unatoč tome ne poslušate, ja ću vas sedmerostruko kažnjavati za vaše grijehe.
“If you still will not heed me after all those things happen to you, I will continue to punish you again and again for the sins that you have committed.
19 Slomit ću ja vašu drsku silu. Vaša ću nebesa učiniti poput gvožđa, a zemlju vašu poput tuča.
I will cause you to no longer be stubborn and proud; I will cause [no rain to fall; it will be as though] [MET] the sky is made of iron; and the ground will be [as hard as] brass [MET].
20 Uzalud će se trošiti vaša snaga. Zemlja vam više neće davati svoga roda niti će stabla na zemlji donositi svojih plodova.
You will uselessly work very hard [to plant seeds], because crops will not grow in the hard soil in your fields, and fruit will not grow on your trees.
21 Budete li se još i dalje protivili, ne htjednete li me poslušati, sedmerostruko ću još na vama povisiti rane za vaše grijehe.
“If you continue to oppose me and refuse to heed me, I will cause you to experience disasters again and again, like you deserve to experience because of your sins.
22 Na vas ću pustiti šumsku zvjerad da vas liši djece, blago vam podavi a vas prorijedi tako da vam putovi postanu pusti.
I will send wild animals to attack you, and they will kill your little children and destroy your cattle. There will be very few of you who will remain alive, with the result that there will be very few [HYP] people walking on the roads in your country.
23 Ako vas ni to ne popravi nego nastavite življenje koje se meni protivi,
“When you experience those things that I do to punish you, if you still do not pay attention to me, and if you continue to oppose me,
24 onda ću se i ja suprotstaviti vama i sam ću vas još sedmerostruko udariti za vaše grijehe.
I myself will oppose you, and I will punish you for your sins again and again.
25 Na vas ću dovesti mač neka se iskali osvetom za Savez. A kad se zbijete u svoje gradove, poslat ću na vas kugu i bit ćete predani u ruke neprijatelju.
I will send [foreign] [MTY] to punish you for not doing the things that I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you. If you [try to escape from your enemies by] shutting yourselves in your cities [that have walls around them], I will cause you to experience plagues, and I will allow your enemies to capture [IDM] you.
26 Još kad vam obustavim namicanje kruha, deset žena moći će vam peći kruh u jednoj peći i na mjeru će vam kruh davati. Jest ćete, ali se nećete nasititi.
When I cut off your food supply, there will be very little flour with which to make bread. As a result, ten women will be able to bake all their bread in [only] one oven. [When the bread is baked], each woman will divide it [among the members of her family, but there will be very little for each one], and when they have eaten all of it, they will still be hungry.
27 Ako me ni tada ne poslušate nego mi se dalje budete suprotstavljali,
“After all those things happen, if you still do not heed me, if you still oppose me,
28 i ja ću se vama suprotstaviti - sedmerostruko ću vas kazniti za vaše grijehe.
I will be very angry with you, and I will oppose you, and I myself will punish you for your sins again and again.
29 Jest ćete meso od svojih sinova, jest ćete meso od svojih kćeri.
[You will be extremely hungry, with the result that] you will [kill] your sons and daughters and eat their flesh.
30 Porušit ću vaše idolske uzvišice; oborit ću vaše kadione žrtvenike, zgrnut ću vaša mrtva trupla na trupla vaših kumira i odbacit ću vas.
I will cause the shrines [where you worship idols] on hilltops to be destroyed. I will smash the altars where you burn incense [to worship your gods], and I will cause your corpses to be piled on the lifeless statues of your gods. And I will detest you.
31 Gradove ću vaše pretvoriti u ruševine; svetišta ću vaša opustošiti, vaš ugodni miris neću više mirisati.
I will cause your cities to become heaps of ruins, and I will cause the buildings that are dedicated to the worship of your gods to be smashed. And I will not be pleased at all with the aroma of your offerings [that are burned on the altar].
32 Zemlju ću ja pretvoriti u zgarište tako da će se vaši neprijatelji koji se u njoj nastane zaprepastiti nad njom.
I will completely ruin your country, with the result that even your enemies who capture it will be shocked/appalled [when they see it].
33 Vas ću rasijati po narodima; izvući ću protiv vas mač iz korica tako da će vam se zemlja pretvoriti u pustaru a gradovi u ruševine.
I will enable [your enemies to kill you with] their swords, and I will cause the rest of you to be scattered among other nations. Your country will be ruined and your cities will become ruins.
34 Tada će zemlja namiriti svoje subote za sve vrijeme dok bude pusta i vi budete u zemlji svojih neprijatelja. Otpočinut će tada zemlja i moći će namiriti svoje subote.
After that happens, as long as you are living in your enemies’ countries, your land will be allowed to rest, like you should have allowed it to rest every seven years.
35 Sve dok bude pusta, imat će počinak koji nije imala za vaših subota dok ste vi u njoj stanovali.
All the time that your land is desolate, it will be able to rest, like you did not enable it to rest during all the years that you lived there.
36 A onima od vas koji na životu ostanu po zemljama svojih neprijatelja, njima ću strah u srce utjerati. U bijeg će ih nagoniti šuštaj lista što zatrepti. Bježat će kao što se bježi od mača; padat će, iako ih nitko neće progoniti.
“As for you people who will remain alive in the countries to which your enemies [will have taken you], I will cause you to become so afraid that when you hear the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, you will run away. You will run like [SIM] you are running from [a man carrying] a sword, and you will fall down, even though no one is pursuing you.
37 Spoticat će se jedan o drugoga kao kad se bježi ispred mača, premda ih nitko neće progoniti. Nećete se održati pred svojim neprijateljima;
You will stumble over each other. So you will not be able to stand and fight your enemies.
38 izginut ćete među narodima - proždrijet će vas zemlja vaših neprijatelja.
Many of you will die in the countries that belong to your enemies [DOU].
39 A koji od vas prežive venut će u zemljama svojih neprijatelja zbog svojih opačina; venut će i zbog opačina svojih otaca.
And those of you who remain alive will slowly die and rot in the countries of your enemies because of your sins and because of the sins of your ancestors.
40 Priznat će tada svoju opačinu i opačinu svojih otaca što su je protiv mene počinili izdajom, što su mi se protivili.
“But your descendants must confess their sins and the sins that their ancestors committed. Their ancestors acted unfaithfully toward me and were hostile to me, with the result that I forced them to go to the countries that belonged to their enemies. But when your descendants humble themselves [SYN] and stop being very stubborn [IDM] and accept being punished for their sins,
41 I ja sam sa morao suprotstaviti njima i odvesti ih u zemlju njihovih neprijatelja.” “Onda će se napokon njihovo tvrdokorno srce poniziti; ispaštat će oni svoju krivnju.
42 Tada ću se ja sjetiti svoga Saveza s Jakovom i svoga Saveza s Izakom; sjetit ću se svoga Saveza s Abrahamom - zemlje ću se sjetiti.
I will remember the agreement that I made with [your ancestors] Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and [what I promised them about] this land.
43 Zemlja će, ostavljena od njih, namiriti svoje subote kad ostane pusta zbog njih. A oni će ispaštati svoju krivnju što su odbacili moje zapovijedi; što su prezreli moje zakone.
But [before that happens], you will be forced to leave your land, with the result that the land will be able to rest while it is desolate and while the people are being punished for rejecting my laws and hating my decrees [DOU].
44 Ali ni onda dok budu u zemlji svojih neprijatelja, neću ih zabaciti niti ću ih prezreti tako da ih posve uništim i da prekršim svoj Savez s njima. TÓa ja sam Jahve, Bog njihov.
But when that happens, I will still not reject them or hate them and destroy them completely. I will not cancel the agreement that I made with them; for I am still Yahweh their God.
45 Radi njih sjetit ću se Saveza s njihovim precima koje sam izveo iz zemlje egipatske naočigled naroda da budem njihov Bog, ja Jahve.”
I will (remember/never forget) the agreement that I made with your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, in order that the people of all nations will know that I, Yahweh, [will continue to] be your God.”
46 To su odredbe, uredbe i zakoni koje je Jahve uglavio između sebe i Izraelaca po Mojsiju na Sinajskome brdu.
Those are the decrees, the laws, and the regulations [DOU] that Yahweh established on Sinai Mountain between himself and the Israeli people by [giving them to] Moses/me [to tell to them].
