Deuteronomy 17
1 “You shall not immolate to the Lord your God a sheep or an ox, in which there is a blemish or any defect at all; for this is an abomination 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 When there will have been found among you, within one of your gates which the Lord your God will give to you, a man or a woman who is doing evil in the sight of the Lord your God, and who is transgressing his covenant,
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 so as to go and serve foreign gods and adore them, such as the sun and the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not instructed,
in sta šla in služila drugim bogovom in jih oboževala ali sonce ali luno ali katerokoli vojsko neba, česar nisem zapovedal
4 and when this will have been reported to you, and, upon hearing it, if you have inquired diligently and have found it to be true, that the abomination is being 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 you shall lead forward the man or the woman who has perpetrated this most wicked thing to the gates of your city, and they shall be stoned to death.
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 By the mouth of two or three witnesses, he who is to be put to death shall perish. Let no one be killed with only one person speaking testimony against him.
Po ustih dveh ali treh prič bo tisti, ki je vreden smrti, usmrčen, toda po ustih ene priče ne bo usmrčen.
7 First, the hands of the witnesses shall be upon him who will be put to death, and lastly, the hands of the remainder of the people shall be sent forth. So may you take away the evil from your midst.
Roke prič bodo prve nad njim, da ga usmrtijo in potem roke vsega ljudstva. Tako boš odstranil zlo izmed vas.
8 If you have perceived that there is among you a difficult and doubtful matter of judgment, between blood and blood, cause and cause, leprosy and leprosy, and if you will have seen that the words of the judges within your gates vary: rise up and ascend to the place which the Lord your God will choose.
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 you shall approach the priests of the Levitical stock, and the judge, who shall be among them at that time, and you shall inquire of them, and they will reveal to you the truth of the judgment.
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 shall accept whatever they will say, those who preside in the place which the Lord will choose, and whatever they will teach you,
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 in accord with his law, and you shall follow their sentence. Neither shall you turn aside to the right or to the left.
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 But whoever will be arrogant, unwilling to obey the order of the priest who ministers at that time to the Lord your God, and the decree of the judge, that man shall die. And so shall you take 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 when the people hear about this, they shall be afraid, so that no one, from that time on, will swell with pride.
In vse ljudstvo bo slišalo in se balo in ne bo več prepotentno ravnalo.
14 When you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, and you possess it, and you live in it, and you say, ‘I will appoint a king over me, just as all the surrounding nations have done,’
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 you shall appoint him whom the Lord your God will choose from among the number of your brothers. You cannot make a man of another people king, one who is not your brother.
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 when he will have been appointed king, he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor lead the people back into Egypt, having been exalted by the number of his horsemen, especially since the Lord has instructed you never to return along the same 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 He shall not have many wives, who might allure his mind, and he shall not have immense weights 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 Then, after he has been seated upon the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself the Deuteronomy of this law in a volume, using a copy from the priests of the Levitical tribe.
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 he shall have it with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, and to keep his words and ceremonies, which are instructed in the law.
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 And so may his heart not become exalted with arrogance over his brothers, nor turn aside to the right or to the left, so that he and his sons may reign for a long time over 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.
