Deuteronomy 17
1 No ox or sheep which has a mark on it or is damaged in any way may be offered to the Lord your God: for that is disgusting to the Lord your God.
Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, ne boš žrtvoval nobenega bika ali ovce, na kateri je pomanjkljivost ali kakršnakoli slaba stvar, kajti to je ogabnost Gospodu, tvojemu Bogu.
2 If there is any man or woman among you, in any of the towns which the Lord your God gives you, who does evil in the eyes of the Lord your God, sinning against his agreement,
Če se med vami najdeta mož ali ženska, znotraj katerihkoli izmed tvojih velikih vrat, ki ti jih daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki sta storila zlobnost v očeh Gospoda, tvojega Boga, v tem, da sta prestopala njegovo zavezo
3 By becoming a servant of other gods and worshipping them or the sun or the moon or all the stars of heaven, against my orders;
in sta šla in služila drugim bogovom in jih oboževala ali sonce ali luno ali katerokoli vojsko neba, česar nisem zapovedal
4 If word of this comes to your ears, then let this thing be looked into with care, and if there is no doubt that it is true, and such evil has been done in Israel;
in ti je to povedano in si o tem slišal in marljivo poizvedoval in glej, če je resnično in je stvar gotova, da je v Izraelu narejena takšna ogabnost,
5 Then you are to take the man or woman who has done the evil to the public place of your town, and they are to be stoned with stones till they are dead.
potem boš tega moža ali to žensko, ki sta zagrešila to zlobno stvar, pripeljal naprej, k svojim velikim vratom, torej tistega moža ali tisto žensko in ju boš kamnal s kamni, dokler ne umreta.
6 On the word of two or three witnesses, a man may be given the punishment of death; but he is not to be put to death on the word of one witness.
Po ustih dveh ali treh prič bo tisti, ki je vreden smrti, usmrčen, toda po ustih ene priče ne bo usmrčen.
7 The hands of the witnesses will be the first to put him to death, and after them the hands of all the people. So you are to put away the evil from among you.
Roke prič bodo prve nad njim, da ga usmrtijo in potem roke vsega ljudstva. Tako boš odstranil zlo izmed vas.
8 If you are not able to give a decision as to who is responsible for a death, or who is right in a cause, or who gave the first blow in a fight, and there is a division of opinion about it in your town: then go to the place marked out by the Lord your God;
Če tam vstane zadeva, v sodbi zate pretežka, med krvjo in krvjo, med izgovorom in izgovorom, med udarcem in udarcem, ki so zadeve polemike znotraj tvojih velikih vrat, potem se boš vzdignil in se povzpel na kraj, ki ga bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, izbral
9 And come before the priests, the Levites, or before him who is judge at the time: and they will go into the question and give you a decision:
in prišel boš k duhovnikom Lévijevcem in k sodniku, ki bo v tistih dneh in povprašal in pokazali ti bodo razsodbo sodbe.
10 And you are to be guided by the decision they give in the place named by the Lord, and do whatever they say:
Storil boš glede na razsodbo, ki ti jo bodo pokazali tisti, iz tistega kraja, ki ga bo Gospod izbral in obeleževal boš, da storiš glede na vse, o čemer te obvestijo.
11 Acting in agreement with their teaching and the decision they give: not turning to one side or the other from the word they have given you.
Storil boš glede na razsodbo postave, ki te jo bodo učili, in glede na sodbo, ki ti jo bodo povedali. Ne boš se odvrnil od obsodbe, ki ti jo bodo pokazali, ne na desno roko niti ne na levo.
12 And any man who, in his pride, will not give ear to the priest whose place is there before the Lord your God, or to the judge, is to be put to death: you are to put away the evil from Israel.
Mož pa, ki bo delal prepotentno in ne bo prisluhnil duhovniku, ki tam stoji, da služi pred Gospodom, tvojim Bogom ali sodniku, celo tisti mož bo umrl, in ti se boš iz Izraela znebil zla.
13 And all the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear and put away their pride.
In vse ljudstvo bo slišalo in se balo in ne bo več prepotentno ravnalo.
14 When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and have taken it for a heritage and are living in it, if it is your desire to have a king over you, like the other nations round about you;
Ko prideš v deželo, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog in jo boš vzel v last in boš prebival v njej in boš rekel: ›Nad seboj si bom postavil kralja, kakor je pri vseh narodih naokoli mene, ‹
15 Then see that you take as your king the man named by the Lord your God: let your king be one of your countrymen, not a man of another nation who is not one of yourselves.
boš vsekakor za kralja nad seboj postavil tistega, ki ga bo izbral Gospod, tvoj Bog. Enega izmed svojih bratov boš postavil za kralja nad seboj. Nad seboj ne smeš postaviti tujca, ki ni tvoj brat.
16 And he is not to get together a great army of horses for himself, or make the people go back to Egypt to get horses for him: because the Lord has said, You will never again go back that way.
Toda ta si ne bo množil konj niti ljudstvu ne bo povzročil, da se vrne v Egipt, z namenom, da bi množil konje, ker kakor ti je Gospod rekel: ›Odslej se ne boš več vrnil po tisti poti.‹
17 And he is not to have a great number of wives, for fear that his heart may be turned away; or great wealth of silver and gold.
Niti si k sebi ne bo množil žená, da njegovega srca ne odvrnejo stran niti k sebi ne bo silno pomnožil srebra in zlata.
18 And when he has taken his place on the seat of his kingdom, he is to make in a book a copy of this law, from that which the priests, the Levites, have in their care:
In zgodilo se bo, ko sedi na prestolu svojega kraljestva, da si bo zapisal prepis te postave v knjigo iz te, ki je pred duhovniki Lévijevci,
19 And it is to be with him for his reading all the days of his life, so that he may be trained in the fear of the Lord his God to keep and do all the words of this teaching and these laws:
in ta bo z njim in iz nje bo bral vse dni svojega življenja, da se bo lahko učil bati se Gospoda, svojega Boga, da ohranja vse besede te postave in te zakone, da jih izvršuje,
20 So that his heart may not be lifted up over his countrymen, and he may not be turned away from the orders, to one side or the other: but that his life and the lives of his children may be long in his kingdom in Israel.
da njegovo srce ne bo povzdignjeno nad njegove brate in da se ne obrne proč od zapovedi, k desni roki ali k levi, z namenom, da lahko podaljša svoje dni v svojem kraljestvu, on in njegovi otroci, v sredi Izraela.
