Exodus 23
1 Thou shall not take up a false report. Do not put thy hand with the wicked man to be an unrighteous witness.
Ne boš dvignil napačnega poročila. Svoje roke ne podaj z zlobnim, da bi bil nepravična priča.
2 Thou shall not follow a multitude to do evil, neither shall thou speak in a case to turn aside after a multitude to distort justice,
Ne boš sledil množici, da počneš zlo. Niti ne boš govoril v zadevi, da se ne nagneš za mnogimi, ki pačijo sodbo.
3 neither shall thou favor a poor man in his case.
Niti ne boš podpiral reveža v njegovi zadevi.
4 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, thou shall surely bring it back to him again.
Če srečaš vola svojega sovražnika ali njegovega osla zaiti, mu ga boš zagotovo ponovno privedel nazaj k njemu.
5 If thou see the donkey of him who hates thee lying under his burden, thou shall refrain leaving him. Thou shall surely release it with him.
Če vidiš osla tistega, ki te sovraži, ležati pod svojim bremenom in odlašaš, da mu pomagaš, mu boš zagotovo z njim vred pomagal.
6 Thou shall not distort the justice due to thy poor in his case.
Ne boš pačil sodbe ubogega v njegovi zadevi.
7 Keep thee far from a false matter. And do not kill an innocent and righteous man, for I will not justify a wicked man.
Drži se proč od napačne stvari. Nedolžnega in pravičnega ne ubij, kajti zlobnega ne bom opravičil.
8 And thou shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight, and perverts the words of the righteous.
In ti ne boš prejel nobenega daru, kajti dar slepi modrega in izkrivlja besede pravičnega.
9 And thou shall not oppress a sojourner, for ye know the heart of a sojourner, since ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Tudi ne boš zatiral tujca, kajti poznate srce tujca, glede na to, da ste bili tujci v egiptovski deželi.
10 And six years thou shall sow thy land, and shall gather in the increase of it,
Šest let boš sejal svojo zemljo in zbiral njene sadove,
11 but the seventh year thou shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of thy people may eat, and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shall deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.
toda sedmo leto jo boš pustil počivati in mirno ležati, da ubogi izmed tvojega ljudstva lahko jedo. Kar bodo pustili, naj pojedo živali polja. Na podoben način boš postopal s svojim vinogradom in s svojim oljčnim nasadom.
12 Six days thou shall do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shall rest, that thine ox and thy donkey may have rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the sojourner, may be refreshed.
Šest dni boš opravljal svoje delo, na sedmi dan pa boš počival, da bosta tvoj vol in tvoj osel lahko počivala in bosta sin tvoje pomočnice in tujec lahko osvežena.
13 And in all things that I have said to you take ye heed, and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
V vseh stvareh, ki sem ti jih rekel, bodi preudaren. In ne omenjaj imena drugih bogov niti naj tega ne bo slišati iz tvojih ust.
14 Three times thou shall keep a feast to me in the year.
Trikrat v letu mi boš ohranjal praznovanje.
15 Thou shall keep the feast of unleavened bread (Seven days thou shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib, for in it thou came out from Egypt, and none shall appear before me empty),
Ohranjal boš praznik nekvašenega kruha (sedem dni boš jedel nekvašeni kruh, kakor sem ti zapovedal, v določenem času meseca abíba, kajti v njem si prišel iz Egipta in nihče se pred menoj ne bo prikazal prazen)
16 and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labors, which thou sow in the field, and the feast of ingathering at the end of the year, when thou gather in thy labors out of the field.
in praznik žetve, prve sadove svojih trudov, ki si jih posejal na polju in praznik spravljanja, ki je ob koncu leta, ko si svoje trude pospravil s polja.
17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the lord Jehovah.
Trikrat na leto naj se vsi tvoji možje prikažejo pred Gospodom Bogom.
18 Thou shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.
Krvi moje klavne daritve ne boš žrtvoval z vzhajanim kruhom niti naj maščoba mojega darovanja ne ostane do jutra.
19 The first of the first-fruits of thy ground thou shall bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
Prvine od prvih sadov svoje zemlje boš prinesel v hišo Gospoda, svojega Boga. Kozlička ne boš zavrel v mleku njegove matere.
20 Behold, I send an agent before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Glej, pred teboj pošiljam Angela, da te varuje na poti in te privede na kraj, ki sem ga pripravil.
21 Take ye heed before him, and hearken to his voice, provoke him not. For he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him.
Pazi se ga in ubogaj njegov glas, ne izzivaj ga, kajti ne bo oprostil tvojih prestopkov, kajti moje ime je v njem.
22 But if thou shall indeed hearken to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to thine enemies, and an adversary to thine adversaries.
Toda če boš zares ubogal njegov glas in storil vse, kar ti govorim, potem bom sovražnik tvojih sovražnikov in nasprotnik tvojih nasprotnikov.
23 For my agent shall go before thee, and bring thee in to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, and I will cut them off.
Kajti moj Angel bo šel pred teboj in te privede k Amoréjcem, Hetejcem, Perizéjcem, Kánaancem, Hivéjcem in Jebusejcem, in jaz jih bom odrezal.
24 Thou shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works, but thou shall utterly overthrow them, and break their pillars in pieces.
Ne boš se priklanjal njihovim bogovom niti jim služil niti počel po njihovih delih, temveč jih boš popolnoma premagal in popolnoma zlomil njihove podobe.
25 And ye shall serve Jehovah your God, and he will bless thy bread, and thy water, and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
Služili boste Gospodu, svojemu Bogu in on bo blagoslovil tvoj kruh in tvojo vodo, in iz tvoje srede bom odvzel bolezen.
26 There shall none cast her young, nor be barren, in thy land; I will fulfill the number of thy days.
V tvoji deželi nič ne bo zavrglo svojih mladih niti ne bo jalovo. Število tvojih dni bom izpolnil.
27 I will send my terror before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shall come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs to thee.
Pred teboj bom poslal svoj strah in uničil bom vsa ljudstva, h katerim boš prišel in vsem tvojim sovražnikom bom storil, da svoje hrbte obrnejo k tebi.
28 And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
Pred teboj bom poslal sršene, ki bodo izpred tebe napodili Hivéjce, Kánaance in Hetejce.
29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee.
Izpred tebe jih ne bom pognal v enem letu, da ne bi zemlja postala zapuščena in bi se zoper tebe namnožile poljske zveri.
30 Little by little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
Po malo in malo jih bom podil izpred tebe, dokler ne boš narasel in podedoval dežele.
31 And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River. For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and thou shall drive them out before thee.
Tvoje meje bom postavil od Rdečega morja, celo do morja Filistejcev in od puščave do reke, kajti jaz bom prebivalce dežele izročil v tvojo roko, ti pa jih boš pognal pred seboj.
32 Thou shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
Z njimi ne boš sklenil nobene zaveze niti z njihovimi bogovi.
33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me, for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to thee.
Naj ne prebivajo v tvoji deželi, da te ne bi pripravili grešiti zoper mene, kajti če boš služil njihovim bogovom, ti bodo le-ti zagotovo zanka.«
