< Deuteronomy 21 >

1 If one is found slain, lying in a field in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess, and it is not known who killed him,
Kad se naðe ubijen èovjek u zemlji koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj da je naslijediš, gdje leži u polju, a ne zna se ko ga je ubio,
2 your elders and judges must come out and measure the distance from the victim to the neighboring cities.
Tada neka izidu starješine tvoje i sudije tvoje, i neka izmjere od ubijenoga do gradova koji su oko njega.
3 Then the elders of the city nearest the victim shall take a heifer that has never been yoked or used for work,
Pa koji grad bude najbliže ubijenoga, starješine onoga grada neka uzmu junicu iz goveda, na kojoj se još nije radilo, koja nije vukla u jarmu,
4 bring the heifer to a valley with running water that has not been plowed or sown, and break its neck there by the stream.
I neka odvedu starješine onoga grada tu junicu u pustu dolinu gdje se ne kopa ni sije, i neka zakolju junicu ondje u dolini.
5 And the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come forward, for the LORD your God has chosen them to serve Him and pronounce blessings in His name and to give a ruling in every dispute and case of assault.
Potom neka pristupe sveštenici, sinovi Levijevi; jer njih izabra Gospod Bog tvoj da mu služe i da blagosiljaju u ime Gospodnje, i na njihovijem rijeèima da ostaje svaka raspra i svaka šteta;
6 Then all the elders of the city nearest the victim shall wash their hands by the stream over the heifer whose neck has been broken,
I sve starješine onoga grada koji budu najbliže ubijenoga neka operu ruke svoje nad zaklanom junicom u onoj dolini,
7 and they shall declare, “Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it.
I tvrdeæi neka reku: ruke naše nijesu prolile ove krvi niti su oèi naše vidjele;
8 Accept this atonement, O LORD, for Your people Israel whom You have redeemed, and do not hold the shedding of innocent blood against them.” And the bloodshed will be atoned for.
Milostiv budi narodu svojemu Izrailju, koji si iskupio, Gospode, i ne meæi prave krvi na narod svoj Izrailja. Tako æe se oèistiti od one krvi.
9 So you shall purge from among you the guilt of shedding innocent blood, since you have done what is right in the eyes of the LORD.
I ti æeš skinuti pravu krv sa sebe kad uèiniš što je pravo pred Gospodom.
10 When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hand and you take them captive,
Kad otideš na vojsku na neprijatelje svoje, i preda ih Gospod Bog tvoj u ruke tvoje i zarobiš ih mnogo,
11 if you see a beautiful woman among them, and you desire her and want to take her as your wife,
I ugledaš u roblju lijepu ženu, i omili ti da bi je htio uzeti za ženu,
12 then you shall bring her into your house. She must shave her head, trim her nails,
Odvedi je kuæi svojoj; i neka obrije glavu svoju i sreže nokte svoje;
13 and put aside the clothing of her captivity. After she has lived in your house a full month and mourned her father and mother, you may have relations with her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.
I neka skine sa sebe haljine svoje u kojima je zarobljena, i neka sjedi u kuæi tvojoj, i žali za ocem svojim i za materom svojom cio mjesec dana; potom lezi s njom, i budi joj muž i ona nek ti bude žena.
14 And if you are not pleased with her, you are to let her go wherever she wishes. But you must not sell her for money or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.
Ako ti poslije ne bi bila po volji, pusti je neka ide kuda joj drago, ali nikako da je ne prodaš za novce ni da njom trguješ, jer si je osramotio.
15 If a man has two wives, one beloved and the other unloved, and both bear him sons, but the unloved wife has the firstborn son,
Ko bi imao dvije žene, jednu milu a drugu nemilu, pa bi rodile sinove, i mila i nemila, i prvenac bi bio od nemile,
16 when that man assigns his inheritance to his sons he must not appoint the son of the beloved wife as the firstborn over the son of the unloved wife.
Onda kad doðe vrijeme da podijeli sinovima svojim što ima, ne može prvencem uèiniti sina od mile preko sina od nemile koji je prvenac;
17 Instead, he must acknowledge the firstborn, the son of his unloved wife, by giving him a double portion of all that he has. For that son is the firstfruits of his father’s strength; the right of the firstborn belongs to him.
Nego za prvenca neka prizna sina od nemile i dade mu dva dijela od svega što ima, jer je on poèetak sile njegove, njegovo je pravo prvenaèko.
18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and does not listen to them when disciplined,
Ko bi imao sina samovoljna i nepokorna, koji ne sluša oca svojega ni matere svoje, i kojega oni i karaše pa opet ne sluša,
19 his father and mother are to lay hold of him and bring him to the elders of his city, to the gate of his hometown,
Neka ga uzmu otac i mati, i neka ga dovedu k starješinama grada svojega na vrata mjesta svojega,
20 and say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he does not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.”
I neka kažu starješinama grada svojega: ovaj sin naš samovoljan je i nepokoran, ne sluša nas, izjelica je i pijanica.
21 Then all the men of his city will stone him to death. So you must purge the evil from among you, and all Israel will hear and be afraid.
Tada svi ljudi onoga mjesta neka ga zaspu kamenjem da pogine; i tako izvadi zlo iz sebe, da sav Izrailj èuje i boji se.
22 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you hang his body on a tree,
Ko zgriješi tako da zasluži smrt, te bude osuðen na smrt i objesiš ga na drvo,
23 you must not leave the body on the tree overnight, but you must be sure to bury him that day, because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God’s curse. You must not defile the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
Neka ne prenoæi tijelo njegovo na drvetu, nego ga isti dan pogrebi, jer je proklet pred Bogom ko je obješen; zato ne skvrni zemlje koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje u našljedstvo.
