Deuteronomy 25
1 “If there is a case between persons, and they apply to the judges, they shall give the palm of justice to the one whom they perceive to be just, and they shall condemn of impiety the one who is impious.
Kad nastane svađa među ljudima i dođu na sud da im se sudi, neka se dade pravo onome koji je prav, a krivac neka se osudi.
2 But if they see that the one who has sinned is worthy of stripes, they shall prostrate him and cause him to be beaten before them. According to the measure of the sin, so shall the measure of the stripes be.
Ako krivac zasluži da bude išiban, neka mu sudac naredi da legne i tu pred njim neka mu odbroje onoliko udaraca koliko odgovara njegovoj krivnji.
3 Even so, these shall not exceed the number of forty. Otherwise, your brother may depart, having been wounded shamefully before your eyes.
Do četrdeset udaraca može mu se dati, ali ne više, da modrica ne bi bila prevelika te se ne bi ponizio tvoj brat pred tobom kad bi mu udarali više udaraca.
4 You shall not muzzle an ox as it is treading out your crops in the field.
Ne zavezuj usta volu kad vrše.
5 When brothers are living together, and one of them dies without children, the wife of the deceased shall not marry another. Instead, his brother shall take her, and he shall raise up offspring for his brother.
Kad braća stanuju zajedno pa jedan od njih umre a da nije imao sina, žena pokojnoga neka se ne preudaje izvan kuće, nego neka k njoj pristupi njezin djever i uzme je sebi za ženu te izvrši djeversku dužnost.
6 And the first son from her, he shall call by his brother’s name, so that his name will not be abolished from Israel.
A prvi sin koga ona rodi neka ostane na ime njegova pokojnoga brata da njegovo ime ne izumre u Izraelu.
7 But if he is not willing to take his brother’s wife, who by law must go to him, the woman shall go to the gate of the city, and she shall call upon those greater by birth, and she shall say: ‘The brother of my husband is not willing to raise up his brother’s name in Israel; nor will he join with me.’
Ako, međutim, onaj čovjek ne želi da se oženi svojom snahom, onda njegova snaha neka dođe na vrata pred starješine i kaže: 'Neće djever moj da sačuva ime bratu svome u Izraelu; neće da mi učini djeversku dužnost.'
8 And immediately, they shall summon him to be sent, and they shall question him. If he responds, ‘I am not willing to accept her as a wife,’
Neka ga pozovu starješine njegova grada i pitaju. Bude li uporan i kaže: 'Ne želim se njom ženiti',
9 then the woman shall approach him in the sight of the elders, and she shall remove his shoe from his foot, and she shall spit in his face, and she shall say: ‘So shall it be done to the man who was not willing to build up his brother’s house.’
neka njegova snaha k njemu pristupi na oči starješine pa mu skine s noge sandalu, pljune mu u lice i kaže ove riječi: 'Ovako se radi čovjeku koji neće da podigne doma svome bratu!'
10 And his name shall be called in Israel: The House of the Unshod.
Taj neka se prozove u Izraelu 'Dom bosoga'.
11 If two men have a conflict between themselves, and one begins to do violence to the other, and if the other’s wife, wanting to rescue her husband from the hand of the stronger one, extends her hand and grasps him by his private parts,
Ako se dvojica potuku, pa žena jednoga pođe da izbavi svoga muža iz šaka onoga koji ga tuče i pruži ona svoju ruku i onoga uhvati za sram,
12 then you shall cut off her hand. Neither shall you weep over her with any mercy.
odsijeci joj ruku i neka je ne sažaljuje oko tvoje.
13 You shall not have differing weights, greater and lesser, in your bag.
U torbi nemoj nositi dvojak uteg, veći i manji.
14 Neither shall there be in your house a greater and a lesser measure.
U svojoj kući opet nemoj držati dvojaku efu: veću i manju.
15 You shall have a just and a true weight, and your measure shall be equal and true, so that you may live for a long time upon the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
Neka ti je uteg potpun i točan i neka ti je efa potpuna i točna, da dugo živiš na zemlji koju ti daje Jahve, Bog tvoj.
16 For the Lord your God abominates him who does these things, and he loathes all injustice.
TÓa Jahvi je, Bogu tvome, odvratan tko to čini, tko god čini nepravdu.
17 Remember what Amalek did to you, along the way, when you were departing from Egypt:
Sjećaj se onoga što ti je učinio Amalek dok ste bili na putu pošto ste izišli iz Egipta;
18 how he met you and cut down the stragglers of the troops, who were sitting down, exhausted, when you were consumed by hunger and hardship, and how he did not fear God.
kako te dočeka na putu i pobi u tvom zaleđu sve nemoćne kad si bio umoran i iscrpljen jer se nije Boga bojao.
19 Therefore, when the Lord your God will give you rest, and you will have subdued all the surrounding nations, in the land which he has promised to you, you shall delete his name from under heaven. Take care not to forget this.”
I zato kad te Jahve, Bog tvoj, smiri od svih tvojih neprijatelja naokolo u zemlji koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje u baštinu, izbriši pod nebom spomen na Amaleka. Ne zaboravi!
