Deuteronomy 19
1 After the Lord your God has destroyed the nations whose land he's giving you, and after you have driven them out and settled in their cities and houses,
Kad Gospod Bog tvoj potre narode kojih zemlju daje tebi Gospod Bog tvoj, i kad ih naslijediš i nastaniš se po gradovima njihovijem i po kuæama njihovijem,
2 then you are to choose three sanctuary towns in the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own.
Odvoj tri grada usred zemlje svoje, koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj da je naslijediš,
3 You are build roads to these towns. Divide the country the Lord is giving you into three sections. This way anyone who kills someone else can easily run to these towns for protection.
Naèini put, i razdijeli na troje krajeve zemlje svoje, koju ti da Gospod Bog tvoj u našljedstvo, pa neka bježi onamo svaki krvnik.
4 This is what is to happen when a person accidentally kills someone else without meaning to, and runs to one of these sanctuary towns to save their life.
A ovako neka bude s krvnikom koji uteèe onamo, da bi ostao živ: ko ubije bližnjega svojega nehotice, ne mrzivši prije na nj,
5 For example, if a man goes to cut wood in the forest with his friend and swings his axe to chop down a tree, but the head flies off the handle and hits and kills his friend, he may run to one of these towns to save his life.
Kao kad bi ko otišao s bližnjim svojim u šumu da sijeèe drva, pa bi zamahnuo sjekirom u ruci svojoj da posijeèe drvo, a ona bi spala s držalice i pogodila bi bližnjega njegova tako da umre, on neka uteèe u koji od tijeh gradova da ostane živ,
6 Otherwise the avenger in his anger might chase after the man and catch up with him and kill him, if it's a long distance. The man would be killed even though he didn't deserve to die, because he hadn't meant to cause any harm.
Da ne bi osvetnik potjerao krvnika dok mu je srce raspaljeno, i da ga ne bi stigao na daleku putu i ubio ga, premda nije zaslužio smrti, jer nije prije mrzio na nj.
7 This is the reason why I'm giving this order to choose three sanctuary towns.
Zato ti zapovijedam i velim: tri grada odvoj.
8 Should the Lord your God expand your territory, as he promised your forefathers, and give you all the land he said he would,
A kad raširi Gospod Bog tvoj meðe tvoje, kao što se zakleo ocima tvojim, i da ti svu zemlju koju je rekao dati ocima tvojim,
9 and if you are careful to keep all these commandments I'm giving you today, loving the Lord your God and always following his ways, then you are to choose three additional three sanctuary towns.
Ako uzdržiš i ustvoriš sve ove zapovijesti, koje ti ja danas zapovijedam, da ljubiš Gospoda Boga svojega i hodiš putovima njegovijem svagda, onda dodaj još tri grada osim ona tri,
10 In this way the blood of innocent people won't not be shed in the country the Lord your God is giving you to own and you won't be responsible for the death of innocent people who aren't guilty of losing their lives.
Da se ne proljeva krv prava u zemlji tvojoj, koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje u našljedstvo, i da ne bude na tebi krv.
11 On the other hand, if a man hates someone, hides in wait, and attacks and kills them, and then the killer runs to one of the sanctuary towns,
Ali ako ko mrzi na bližnjega svojega i vreba ga, i skoèi na nj, i udari ga tako da umre, a on uteèe u koji od tijeh gradova,
12 the elders of his home town must send for him, bring him back, and hand him over to the avenger to be killed.
Onda starješine mjesta njegova neka pošlju i uzmu ga odande, i predadu ga u ruke osvetniku da se pogubi.
13 Show him no mercy. You are to eliminate from Israel the guilt of shedding the blood of the innocent, and then all will be well.
Neka ga ne žali oko tvoje, nego skini krv pravu s Izrailja, da bi ti dobro bilo.
14 Don't move your neighbor's boundary marker. It was placed there by your ancestors to mark the land allotment you will receive in the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own.
Ne pomièi meðe bližnjega svojega koju postave stari u našljedstvu tvojem koje dobiješ u zemlji koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje da je naslijediš.
15 The evidence given by a single witness is not enough to prove a sin or a crime against someone, never mind what offense they are alleged to have committed. The facts must be confirmed by the evidence given by two or three witnesses.
Neka ne ustaje jedan svjedok na èovjeka ni za kako zlo i ni za kakav grijeh izmeðu svijeh grijeha koji se èine, nego na rijeèima dva ili tri svjedoka da ostaje stvar.
16 If someone falsely accuses another person of a crime,
Ako bi ustao lažan svjedok na koga da svjedoèi na njega da se odmeæe Boga,
17 both those involved must come to be judged in the presence of the Lord by the priests and judges who are then in office.
Onda neka stanu ta dva èovjeka, koji imaju tu raspru, pred Gospoda, pred sveštenike i pred sudije koje budu u to vrijeme;
18 The judges shall conduct a full investigation, and if the accuser proves to be a liar who has made false accusations
I neka dobro ispitaju sudije; ako svjedok onaj bude lažan svjedok i lažno svjedoèi na brata svojega,
19 then you must punish the accuser in the same way they wanted to punish their victim. You must eliminate this evil from among you.
Uèinite mu onako kako je on mislio uèiniti bratu svojemu; i izvadi zlo iz sebe,
20 Then the rest of the people will hear and be afraid, and they will never again do anything so evil among you. Then everyone else will hear about it and be afraid, and won't ever do anything so evil.
Da se ostali èuvši to boje, i unapredak više ne èine tako zlo usred tebe.
21 Don't show any mercy. The rule is life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and foot for foot.
Neka ne žali oko tvoje: život za život, oko za oko, zub za zub, ruku za ruku, nogu za nogu.
