Deuteronomy 17
1 You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God an ox or a sheep with any defect or serious flaw, for that is detestable to the LORD your God.
Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, tev nebūs upurēt nedz vērsi nedz avi, kam kāda vaina jeb kaite, jo Tam Kungam, tavam Dievam, tā ir negantība.
2 If a man or woman among you in one of the towns that the LORD your God gives you is found doing evil in the sight of the LORD your God by transgressing His covenant
Kad tavā vidū, kādos vārtos, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos, atrastos vīrs vai sieva, kas ļaunu dara Tā Kunga, tava Dieva, priekšā, un pārkāpj Viņa derību,
3 and going to worship other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven—which I have forbidden—
Un iet un kalpo citiem dieviem un tos pielūdz, vai sauli, vai mēnesi, vai visu debess pulku, ko es neesmu pavēlējis,
4 and if it is reported and you hear about it, you must investigate it thoroughly. If the report is true and such an abomination has happened in Israel,
Un tas tev top sacīts, un tu to dzirdi, tad tev to būs labi izvaicāt, un redzi, ja tas ir tiesa, un tiešām šī negantība iekš Israēla ir darīta,
5 you must bring out to your gates the man or woman who has done this evil thing, and you must stone that person to death.
Tad tev būs izvest šo vīru, vai šo sievu, kas šo grēku darījuši, pie saviem vārtiem, to vīru, vai to sievu, un tos akmeņiem nomētāt, lai mirst.
6 On the testimony of two or three witnesses a man shall be put to death, but he shall not be executed on the testimony of a lone witness.
Uz divu vai treju liecinieku vārda tam būs tapt nokautam, kam jāmirst; uz viena liecinieka vārda tam nebūs mirt.
7 The hands of the witnesses shall be the first in putting him to death, and after that, the hands of all the people. So you must purge the evil from among you.
Liecinieku roka lai ir tā pirmā pret viņu, to nonāvēt un pēc tam visu ļaužu roka; tā tev būs izdeldēt to ļaunumu no sava vidus.
8 If a case is too difficult for you to judge, whether the controversy within your gates is regarding bloodshed, lawsuits, or assaults, you must go up to the place the LORD your God will choose.
Kad kāda lieta tev pavisam grūti izspriest starp asinīm un asinīm, starp sūdzību un sūdzību, starp vainu un vainu, tiesas lietas tavos vārtos, tad celies un ej uz to vietu, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, izredzēs.
9 You are to go to the Levitical priests and to the judge who presides at that time. Inquire of them, and they will give you a verdict in the case.
Un tev būs nākt pie tiem priesteriem, tiem Levitiem, un pie tā soģa, kas to brīdi tur būs, un tev būs vaicāt, - tad viņi tev sludinās tiesas spriedumu.
10 You must abide by the verdict they give you at the place the LORD will choose. Be careful to do everything they instruct you,
Un tev būs darīt pēc tā vārda, ko viņi tev sacīs tai vietā, ko Tas Kungs izredzēs, un tev būs vērā ņemt un darīt visu, ko tie tev mācīs.
11 according to the terms of law they give and the verdict they proclaim. Do not turn aside to the right or to the left from the decision they declare to you.
Pēc tās bauslības, ko tie tev mācīs un pēc tās tiesas, ko tie tev sacīs, tev būs darīt; tev nebūs atkāpties no tā vārda, ko tie tev sacīs, ne pa labo ne pa kreiso roku.
12 But the man who acts presumptuously, refusing to listen either to the priest who stands there to serve the LORD your God, or to the judge, must be put to death. You must purge the evil from Israel.
Ja kas laban turēsies pārgalvīgi, neklausīdams tam priesterim, kas tur stāv Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, kalpodams, vai tam soģim, tam būs mirt, un tev būs izdeldēt to ļaunumu no Israēla,
13 Then all the people will hear and be afraid, and will no longer behave arrogantly.
Lai visi ļaudis to dzird un bīstas, un vairs neturās pārgalvīgi.
14 When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, “Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us,”
Kad tu nāksi tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos, un to iemantosi un tur dzīvosi un sacīsi: es pār sevi iecelšu ķēniņu, kā visas apkārtējās tautas,
15 you are to appoint over yourselves the king whom the LORD your God shall choose. Appoint a king from among your brothers; you are not to set over yourselves a foreigner who is not one of your brothers.
Tad iecel sev par ķēniņu to, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, izredzēs; no savu brāļu vidus tev būs sev iecelt ķēniņu, tu nevari pār sevi celt svešu vīru, kas nav tavs brālis.
16 But the king must not acquire many horses for himself or send the people back to Egypt to acquire more horses, for the LORD has said, ‘You are never to go back that way again.’
Bet viņam nebūs turēt pulka zirgu, nedz tos ļaudis atpakaļ vest uz Ēģiptes zemi, lai dabūtu pulka zirgu, jo Tas Kungs jums ir sacījis: tev nebūs atpakaļ griezties pa šo ceļu.
17 He must not take many wives for himself, lest his heart go astray. He must not accumulate for himself large amounts of silver and gold.
Tam arī nebūs apņemt daudz sievu, ka viņa sirds neatkāpjas; tam arī nebūs sev sakrāt ļoti daudz sudraba un zelta.
18 When he is seated on his royal throne, he must write for himself a copy of this instruction on a scroll in the presence of the Levitical priests.
Un kad viņš nu sēdēs uz sava valstības krēsla, tad lai viņš no tiem priesteriem un Levitiem sev grāmatā raksta šīs bauslības norakstu.
19 It is to remain with him, and he is to read from it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the LORD his God by carefully observing all the words of this instruction and these statutes.
Un tas lai pie viņa stāv, un lai viņš tanī lasa visu savu mūžu, ka viņš mācās bīties To Kungu, savu Dievu, un turēt visus šās bauslības vārdus un visus šos likumus, ka viņš tos dara.
20 Then his heart will not be exalted above his countrymen, and he will not turn aside from the commandment, to the right or to the left, in order that he and his sons may reign many years over his kingdom in Israel.
Ka viņa sirds nepaceļas pār saviem brāļiem, un ka viņš neatkāpjas no likuma ne pa labo, ne pa kreiso roku, lai viņš ilgi paliek savā valstībā, viņš un viņa dēli Israēla vidū.
