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.

“‘You shall make for yourselves no idols, and you shall not raise up a carved image or a pillar, and you shall not place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it; for I am the LORD your God.

2 Održavajte moje subote; poštujte moje Svetište - jer ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.”

“‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the LORD.

3 “Budete li živjeli prema mojim zakonima, održavali moje zapovijedi i u djelo ih provodili,

“‘If you walk in my statutes and keep my commandments, and do them,

4 davat ću vam kiše u pravo vrijeme te će zemlja rađati rodom a stabla po polju donositi plodove.

then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

5 Vršidba će vam stizati berbu, a berba stizati sjetvu. Jest ćete kruh svoj do sitosti i u svojoj ćete zemlji živjeti u sigurnosti.

Your threshing shall continue until the vintage, and the vintage shall continue until the sowing time. You shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

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.

“‘I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and no one will make you afraid. I will remove evil animals out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

7 U bijeg ćete nagoniti svoje neprijatelje, a oni će padati pred vama od mača.

You shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

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 shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

9 K vama ću se okrenuti te vas rodnima činiti i razmnažati. Držat ću svoj Savez s vama.

“‘I will have respect for you, make you fruitful, multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.

10 Starom ćete se zalihom hraniti; štoviše, trebat će vam zalihe ispražnjavati da mognete sasipati novo žito.

You shall eat old supplies long kept, and you shall move out the old because of the new.

11 Među vama ću postaviti svoje Prebivalište i neću vas odbaciti;

I will set my tent amongst you, and my soul won’t abhor you.

12 među vama ću hoditi i bit ću vam Bog, a vi ćete mi biti narod.

I will walk amongst you, and will be your God, and you will 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 the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves. I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you walk upright.

14 “Ali ako me ne poslušate i u djelo ne provedete sve ove moje zapovijedi;

“‘But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments,

15 ako odbacite moje zakone, pogazite moje naredbe i prekršite moj Savez, ne provodeći u djelo sve moje zapovijedi,

and if you shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that you will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant,

16 evo što ću ja učiniti vama: podvrgnut ću vas strepnji, iznemoglosti i groznici što oči troše a život gase.

I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away. You will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it.

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 set my face against you, and you will be struck before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you; and you will flee when no one pursues you.

18 Pa ako me i unatoč tome ne poslušate, ja ću vas sedmerostruko kažnjavati za vaše grijehe.

“‘If you in spite of these things will not listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

19 Slomit ću ja vašu drsku silu. Vaša ću nebesa učiniti poput gvožđa, a zemlju vašu poput tuča.

I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like bronze.

20 Uzalud će se trošiti vaša snaga. Zemlja vam više neće davati svoga roda niti će stabla na zemlji donositi svojih plodova.

Your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won’t yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.

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 walk contrary to me, and won’t listen to me, then I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to 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 the wild animals amongst you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number. Your roads will become desolate.

23 Ako vas ni to ne popravi nego nastavite življenje koje se meni protivi,

“‘If by these things you won’t be turned back to me, but will walk contrary to me,

24 onda ću se i ja suprotstaviti vama i sam ću vas još sedmerostruko udariti za vaše grijehe.

then I will also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your sins.

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 bring a sword upon you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant. You will be gathered together within your cities, and I will send the pestilence amongst you. You will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

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 break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight. You shall eat, and not be satisfied.

27 Ako me ni tada ne poslušate nego mi se dalje budete suprotstavljali,

“‘If you in spite of this won’t listen to me, but walk contrary to me,

28 i ja ću se vama suprotstaviti - sedmerostruko ću vas kazniti za vaše grijehe.

then I will walk contrary to you in wrath. I will also chastise you seven times for your sins.

29 Jest ćete meso od svojih sinova, jest ćete meso od svojih kćeri.

You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.

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 destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will abhor you.

31 Gradove ću vaše pretvoriti u ruševine; svetišta ću vaša opustošiti, vaš ugodni miris neću više mirisati.

I will lay your cities waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation. I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings.

32 Zemlju ću ja pretvoriti u zgarište tako da će se vaši neprijatelji koji se u njoj nastane zaprepastiti nad njom.

I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it will be astonished at 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 scatter you amongst the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you. Your land will be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

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.

Then the land will enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land. Even then the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

35 Sve dok bude pusta, imat će počinak koji nije imala za vaših subota dok ste vi u njoj stanovali.

As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn’t have in your Sabbaths when you lived on it.

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 those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword. They will fall when no one pursues.

37 Spoticat će se jedan o drugoga kao kad se bježi ispred mača, premda ih nitko neće progoniti. Nećete se održati pred svojim neprijateljima;

They will stumble over one another, as it were before the sword, when no one pursues. You will have no power to stand before your enemies.

38 izginut ćete među narodima - proždrijet će vas zemlja vaših neprijatelja.

You will perish amongst the nations. The land of your enemies will eat you up.

39 A koji od vas prežive venut će u zemljama svojih neprijatelja zbog svojih opačina; venut će i zbog opačina svojih otaca.

Those of you who are left will pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers they shall pine away with them.

40 Priznat će tada svoju opačinu i opačinu svojih otaca što su je protiv mene počinili izdajom, što su mi se protivili.

“‘If they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me; and also that because they walked contrary to me,

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.

I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity,

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.

then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the 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.

The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.

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.

Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly and to break my covenant with them; for I am the LORD 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.”

But I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.’”

46 To su odredbe, uredbe i zakoni koje je Jahve uglavio između sebe i Izraelaca po Mojsiju na Sinajskome brdu.

These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.
