Deuteronomy 21
1 And if one be found slain with the sword in the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit, having fallen in the field, and they do not know who has struck [him];
Če je nekdo najden ubit na polju, ki ti ga Gospod, tvoj Bog, daje v last, ležeč na polju in se ne ve kdo ga je umoril,
2 your elders and your judges shall come forth, and shall measure the distances of the cities round about the slain man:
potem bodo prišli tvoje starešine in tvoji sodniki in bodo izmerili [razdaljo] do mest, ki so naokoli tega, ki je umorjen.
3 and it shall be that the city which is nearest to the slain man the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which has not laboured, and which has not borne a yoke.
Zgodilo se bo, da mesto, ki je bliže umorjenemu človeku, celo starešine tega mesta bodo vzeli telico, s katero še niso delali in ki še ni vlekla jarma,
4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer into a rough valley, which has not been tilled and is not sown, and they shall kill the heifer in the valley.
in starešine tega mesta bodo telico privedli dol v valovito dolino, ki ni niti obdelana niti posejana in tam, v dolini, bodo telici zlomili vrat
5 And the priests the Levites shall come, because the Lord God has chosen them to stand by him, and to bless in his name, and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be [decided].
in duhovniki, sinovi Lévijevcev, se bodo približali, kajti njih je Gospod, tvoj Bog, izbral, da mu služijo in da blagoslavljajo v Gospodovem imenu, in po njihovi besedi bo vsaka polemika in vsak udarec preizkušen
6 And all the elders of that city who draw near to the slain man shall wash their hands over the head of the heifer which was slain in the valley;
in vse starešine tega mesta, ki je bliže umorjenemu človeku, si bodo roke umili nad telico, ki je obglavljena v dolini
7 and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, and our eyes have not seen [it].
in odgovorili bodo ter rekli: ›Naše roke niso prelile te krvi niti naše oči tega niso videle.
8 Be merciful to your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, O Lord, that innocent blood may not be charged on your people Israel: and the blood shall be atoned for to them.
Bodi usmiljen, oh Gospod, svojemu ljudstvu Izraelu, ki si ga odkupil in ne polagaj nedolžne krvi na svoje ljudstvo Izrael, ki je najbliže.‹ In kri jim bo odpuščena.
9 And you shall take away innocent blood from amongst you, if you should do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.
Tako boš izmed sebe odvzel krivdo nedolžne krvi, ko boš storil to, kar je pravilno v Gospodovih očeh.
10 And if when you go out to war against your enemies, the Lord your God should deliver them into your hands, and you should take their spoil,
Ko greš naprej v vojno zoper svoje sovražnike in ti jih Gospod, tvoj Bog, izroči v tvoje roke in si jih zajel kot ujetnike
11 and should see amongst the spoil a woman beautiful in countenance, and should desire her, and take her to yourself for a wife,
in vidiš med ujetniki lepo žensko in imaš do nje poželenje, da bi jo imel za svojo ženo,
12 and should bring her within your house: then shall you shave her head, and pare her nails;
potem jo boš privedel domov, v svojo hišo. Ona si bo obrila svojo glavo in postrigla svoje nohte
13 and shall take away her garments of captivity from off her, and she shall abide in your house, and shall bewail her father and mother the days of a month; and afterwards you shall go in to her and dwell with her, and she shall be your wife.
in iz sebe bo odložila oblačila svojega ujetništva in ostala bo v tvoji hiši in cel mesec bo objokovala svojega očeta in svojo mater. Potem boš šel noter k njej in boš njen soprog in ona bo tvoja žena.
14 And it shall be if you do not delight in her, you shall send her out free; and she shall not by any means be sold for money, you shall not treat her contemptuously, because you have humbled her.
In zgodilo se bo, če z njo ne boš imel veselja, potem jo boš pustil oditi kamor ona hoče. Toda, ker si jo ponižal, je nikakor ne boš prodal za denar, iz nje ne boš naredil trgovskega blaga.
15 And if a man have two wives, the one loved and the other hated, and both the loved and the hated should have born him [children], and the son of the hated should be firstborn;
Če ima mož dve ženi, eno ljubljeno in drugo osovraženo in sta mu rodili otroke, obe, ljubljena in osovražena in če je prvorojenec od tiste, ki je bila osovražena,
16 then it shall be that whenever he shall divide by inheritance his goods to his sons, he shall not be able to give the right of the firstborn to the son of the loved one, having overlooked the son of the hated, which is the firstborn.
potem se bo zgodilo, ko daje svojim sinovom podedovati to, kar ima, da ne sme narediti sina ljubljene prvorojenca pred sinom osovražene, ki je zares prvorojenec,
17 But he shall acknowledge the firstborn of the hated one to give to him double of all things which shall be found by him, because he is the first of his children, and to him belongs the birthright.
temveč bo sina osovražene priznal za prvorojenca s tem, da mu da dvojni delež od vsega, kar ima, kajti on je začetek njegove moči; pravica prvorojenca je njegova.
18 And if any man has a disobedient and contentious son, who hearkens not to the voice of his father and the voice of his mother, and they should correct him, and he should not listen to them;
Če ima človek trmoglavega in upornega sina, ki noče ubogati glasu svojega očeta ali glasu svoje matere in ko sta ga karala, da ju noče poslušati,
19 then shall his father and his mother take hold of him, and bring him forth to the elders of his city, and to the gate of the place:
potem naj ga njegov oče in njegova mati primeta in ga privedeta k starešinam njegovega mesta in k velikim vratom njegovega kraja
20 and they shall say to the men of their city, This our son is disobedient and contentious, he hearkens not to our voice, he is a reveler and a drunkard.
in starešinam mesta bosta rekla: ›Ta najin sin je trmoglav in uporen, noče ubogati najinega glasu. Požeruh je in pijanec.‹
21 And the men of his city shall stone him with stones, and he shall die; and you shall remove the evil one from yourselves, and the rest shall hear and fear.
In vsi ljudje iz njegovega mesta ga bodo kamnali s kamni, da ta umre. Tako boš zlo odstranil proč izmed vas in ves Izrael bo slišal in se bal.
22 And if there be sin in any one, [and] the judgement of death [be upon him], and he be put to death, and you hang him on a tree:
Če je moški zagrešil greh, vreden smrti, in bo usmrčen in ga obesiš na drevo,
23 his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but you shall by all means bury it in that day; for every one that is hanged on a tree is cursed of God; and you shall by no means defile the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.
naj njegovo truplo ne ostane vso noč na drevesu, temveč ga boš vsekakor tisti dan pokopal (kajti ta, ki je obešen, je preklet od Boga), da tvoja dežela, ki ti jo Gospod, tvoj Bog, daje za dediščino, ne bo omadeževana.
