Deuteronomy 17
1 Don't sacrifice to the Lord your God cattle or a sheep that has a defect or has something seriously wrong, for that is offensive to the Lord your God.
Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, tev nebūs upurēt nedz vērsi nedz avi, kam kāda vaina jeb kaite, jo Tam Kungam, tavam Dievam, tā ir negantība.
2 There may be a report that one of you, whether a man or a woman, living in a town that the Lord your God gave you, has been found to be sinning in the sight of the Lord your God by breaking the Lord's agreement.
Kad tavā vidū, kādos vārtos, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos, atrastos vīrs vai sieva, kas ļaunu dara Tā Kunga, tava Dieva, priekšā, un pārkāpj Viņa derību,
3 This person has done this by going to worship other gods, bowing down to them—or to the sun, moon, or any of the stars of heaven—which I have ordered you not to do.
Un iet un kalpo citiem dieviem un tos pielūdz, vai sauli, vai mēnesi, vai visu debess pulku, ko es neesmu pavēlējis,
4 If you hear such a report, you need to make a full investigation. If you find out that the report is true, and that such an awful sin has been committed in Israel,
Un tas tev top sacīts, un tu to dzirdi, tad tev to būs labi izvaicāt, un redzi, ja tas ir tiesa, un tiešām šī negantība iekš Israēla ir darīta,
5 you must have the man or woman who has committed this terrible act taken outside the town and stoned to death.
Tad tev būs izvest šo vīru, vai šo sievu, kas šo grēku darījuši, pie saviem vārtiem, to vīru, vai to sievu, un tos akmeņiem nomētāt, lai mirst.
6 That person is to be executed based on the evidence given by two or three witnesses. No one shall be executed on the evidence given by a single witness.
Uz divu vai treju liecinieku vārda tam būs tapt nokautam, kam jāmirst; uz viena liecinieka vārda tam nebūs mirt.
7 The witnesses must act first in executing the person, and then the rest of those who are present. You must eliminate the evil from among you.
Liecinieku roka lai ir tā pirmā pret viņu, to nonāvēt un pēc tam visu ļaužu roka; tā tev būs izdeldēt to ļaunumu no sava vidus.
8 If there's a case before your town court that is too problematic for you to settle, whether the argument is over murder or manslaughter, one legal decision against another, or different degrees of assault, you must take the issue to the place the Lord your God will choose.
Kad kāda lieta tev pavisam grūti izspriest starp asinīm un asinīm, starp sūdzību un sūdzību, starp vainu un vainu, tiesas lietas tavos vārtos, tad celies un ej uz to vietu, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, izredzēs.
9 Go to the priests, the Levites, and to the judge in charge. Present the case to them, and they will give you their decision.
Un tev būs nākt pie tiem priesteriem, tiem Levitiem, un pie tā soģa, kas to brīdi tur būs, un tev būs vaicāt, - tad viņi tev sludinās tiesas spriedumu.
10 You must abide by the decision they give you there at the place the Lord will choose. Make sure you do everything they tell you to do,
Un tev būs darīt pēc tā vārda, ko viņi tev sacīs tai vietā, ko Tas Kungs izredzēs, un tev būs vērā ņemt un darīt visu, ko tie tev mācīs.
11 in accordance with the legal instructions they give you and the verdict they delivered. Don't deviate from the decision they give you.
Pēc tās bauslības, ko tie tev mācīs un pēc tās tiesas, ko tie tev sacīs, tev būs darīt; tev nebūs atkāpties no tā vārda, ko tie tev sacīs, ne pa labo ne pa kreiso roku.
12 Anyone who treats with contempt either the priest (who ministers before the Lord your God) or the judge, must be executed. You must eliminate this evil from Israel.
Ja kas laban turēsies pārgalvīgi, neklausīdams tam priesterim, kas tur stāv Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, kalpodams, vai tam soģim, tam būs mirt, un tev būs izdeldēt to ļaunumu no Israēla,
13 Then everyone else will hear about it and be afraid, and won't act with contempt in the future.
Lai visi ļaudis to dzird un bīstas, un vairs neturās pārgalvīgi.
14 After you've entered the land that the Lord your God is giving you, and have taken it over and settled in it, and you decide, “Let's have a king to rule over us like all the other nations around us do,”
Kad tu nāksi tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos, un to iemantosi un tur dzīvosi un sacīsi: es pār sevi iecelšu ķēniņu, kā visas apkārtējās tautas,
15 you can have a king but only one chosen by the Lord your God. He must be an Israelite. You must not have a king who is a foreigner; someone who is not an Israelite.
Tad iecel sev par ķēniņu to, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, izredzēs; no savu brāļu vidus tev būs sev iecelt ķēniņu, tu nevari pār sevi celt svešu vīru, kas nav tavs brālis.
16 Your king must not have large numbers of horses, or send his men to Egypt to buy more horses, because the Lord has declared, “You must never to return there again.”
Bet viņam nebūs turēt pulka zirgu, nedz tos ļaudis atpakaļ vest uz Ēģiptes zemi, lai dabūtu pulka zirgu, jo Tas Kungs jums ir sacījis: tev nebūs atpakaļ griezties pa šo ceļu.
17 He must not have many wives, so they don't lead him away from following the Lord. He must not have large quantities of silver and gold.
Tam arī nebūs apņemt daudz sievu, ka viņa sirds neatkāpjas; tam arī nebūs sev sakrāt ļoti daudz sudraba un zelta.
18 Once he is king and sits on his royal throne, he must make a copy for himself of these instructions, writing them on a scroll in the presence of the Levitical priests.
Un kad viņš nu sēdēs uz sava valstības krēsla, tad lai viņš no tiem priesteriem un Levitiem sev grāmatā raksta šīs bauslības norakstu.
19 He is to keep it with him, and he is to read from it each day throughout his life, so he may learn to respect the Lord his God by being careful to follow every word of these instructions and regulations.
Un tas lai pie viņa stāv, un lai viņš tanī lasa visu savu mūžu, ka viņš mācās bīties To Kungu, savu Dievu, un turēt visus šās bauslības vārdus un visus šos likumus, ka viņš tos dara.
20 Then he won't think more of himself than his fellow Israelites, and he won't deviate from the commandments, so that he and his sons may have long reigns over the kingdom of Israel.
Ka viņa sirds nepaceļas pār saviem brāļiem, un ka viņš neatkāpjas no likuma ne pa labo, ne pa kreiso roku, lai viņš ilgi paliek savā valstībā, viņš un viņa dēli Israēla vidū.
