Deuteronomy 12
1 These are the ordinances and the lawes, which ye shall obserue and doe in the lande (which the Lord God of thy fathers giueth thee to possesse it) as long as yee liue vpon the earth.
Ovo su zakoni i uredbe što vam ih valja držati i vršiti u zemlji koju vam Jahve, Bog otaca vaših, daje u posjed za sve dane što budete živjeli na zemlji.
2 Yee shall vtterly destroy all the places wherein the nations which ye shall possesse, serued their gods vpon the hie mountaines and vpon the hilles, and vnder euery greene tree.
Sravnite sa zemljom sva mjesta na kojima su narodi koje ćete protjerati iskazivali štovanje svojim bogovima, nalazila se ona na visokim brdima, na humovima ili pod kakvim zelenim drvetom.
3 Also ye shall ouerthrowe their altars, and breake downe their pillars, and burne their groues with fire: and ye shall hew downe ye grauen images of their gods, and abolish their names out of that place.
Porušite njihove žrtvenike, porazbijajte njihove stupove, spalite im ašere; smrvite kipove njihovih bogova, zatrite im imena s onih mjesta.
4 Ye shall not do so vnto ye Lord your God,
Jahvi, Bogu svome, nemojte onako iskazivati štovanje.
5 But ye shall seeke the place which the Lord your God shall chose out of all your tribes, to put his Name there, and there to dwell, and thither thou shalt come,
Jahvu, Boga svoga, tražite jedino na mjestu koje je on odabrao, sred svih vaših plemena, da ondje stavi svoje ime i da ondje prebiva;
6 And ye shall bring thither your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the offring of your hands, and your vowes, and your free offrings, and the first borne of your kine and of your sheepe.
onamo donosite svoje paljenice i svoje klanice, svoje desetine i darove svojih ruku, svoje zavjetne i dragovoljne prinose i prvine od svoga krupnoga i sitnoga blaga.
7 And there ye shall eate before the Lord your God, and ye shall reioyce in all that yee put your hand vnto, both ye, and your housholdes, because the Lord thy God hath blessed thee.
Blagujte ondje, vi i vaše obitelji, u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga; veselite se svime što su vaše ruke namaknule i što vam je Jahve, Bog vaš, blagoslovom udijelio.
8 Ye shall not doe after all these things that we doe here this day: that is, euery man whatsoeuer seemeth him good in his owne eyes.
Nemojte raditi čak ni kako radimo ovdje danas - svatko što se njemu čini dobro -
9 For ye are not yet come to rest, and to the inheritance which the Lord thy God giueth thee.
jer još niste stigli u Počivalište, u baštinu koju ti daje Jahve, Bog tvoj.
10 But when ye goe ouer Iorden, and dwell in ye land, which the Lord your God hath giuen you to inherit, and when he hath giue you rest from al your enemies round about, and yee dwel in safetie,
Ali kad prijeđete preko Jordana i nastanite se u zemlji koju vam Jahve, Bog vaš, daje u baštinu, kad vas smiri od svih neprijatelja koji budu oko vas te budete živjeli bez straha,
11 When there shalbe a place which the Lord your God shall chose, to cause his name to dwell there, thither shall yee bring all that I commaund you: your burnt offrings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the offring of your hands, and all your speciall vowes which ye vowe vnto the Lord:
onda ćete donositi sve što vam naređujem: svoje paljenice, svoje klanice, svoje desetine, darove svojih ruku i sve svoje izabrane zavjetnice koje budete zavjetovali Jahvi - na mjesto koje Jahve, Bog vaš, odabere da ondje nastani svoje ime.
12 And ye shall reioyce before the Lord your God, yee, and your sonnes and your daughters, and your seruaunts, and your maidens, and the Leuite that is within your gates: for hee hath no part nor inheritance with you.
Veselite se tada pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, vi, vaši sinovi i kćeri, vaše sluge i sluškinje i levit koji bude u vašim gradovima, jer on nema s vama udjela ni baštine.
13 Take heede that thou offer not thy burnt offrings in euery place that thou seest:
Pazi da ne prinosiš svojih žrtava paljenica na bilo kojem mjestu što ga zamijetiš,
14 But in ye place which the Lord shall chose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offrings, and there thou shalt doe all that I commaund thee.
nego samo na mjestu što ga odabere Jahve, u jednome od tvojih plemena. Tu prinosi svoje paljenice i tu obavljaj sve što ti naređujem.
15 Notwithstanding thou maiest kill and eate flesh in all thy gates, whatsoeuer thine heart desireth, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath giuen thee: both the vncleane and the cleane may eate thereof, as of the roe bucke, and of the hart.
Ali svaki put kad ti srce zaželi, možeš zaklati i jesti mesa u svim svojim gradovima, prema blagoslovu koji ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, bude davao. I nečist i čist može ga jesti, kao da je od srne ili jelena.
16 Onely ye shall not eat the blood, but powre it vpon the earth as water.
Ali krvi nemojte blagovati; istočite je na zemlju kao vodu.
17 Thou maist nor eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corne, nor of thy wine, nor of thine oyle, nor the first borne of thy kine, nor of thy sheep, neither any of thy vowes which thou vowest, nor thy free offerings, nor the offering of thine hands,
Po svojim gradovima nemojte jesti desetine svoga žita, svoga vina, svoga ulja ni prvine svoga krupnog ili sitnog blaga; niti išta od svojih zavjetovanih i od svojih dragovoljnih prinosa, ni od prinosa svojih ruku,
18 But thou shalt eate it before the Lord thy God, in the place which the Lord thy God shall chuse, thou, and thy sonne, and thy daughter, and thy seruat, and thy maid, and the Leuite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt reioyce before the Lord thy God, in all that thou puttest thine hand to.
nego ćeš to blagovati pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, u mjestu koje Jahve, Bog tvoj, odabere, ti, tvoj sin, tvoja kći, tvoj sluga, tvoja sluškinja i levit koji bude u tvojim gradovima. Proveseli se u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga, svime što ti ruka namakne.
19 Beware, that thou forsake not the Leuite, as long as thou liuest vpon the earth.
Pazi da nikad ne zaboraviš levita dok si na svojoj zemlji.
20 When the Lord thy God shall enlarge thy border, as hee hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I wil eate flesh, (because thine heart longeth to eate flesh) thou maiest eate flesh, whatsoeuer thine heart desireth.
Kad ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, proširi tvoje područje, kao što ti je rekao, i ti rekneš: 'Ja bih jeo mesa' - jer želiš jesti mesa - možeš ga jesti koliko ti duša želi.
21 If the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen to put his Name there, be farre from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy bullockes, and of thy sheepe which the Lord hath giuen thee, as I haue commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates, whatsoeuer thine heart desireth.
Bude li mjesto koje Jahve, Bog tvoj, odabere da u njemu svoje ime smjesti daleko od tebe, onda možeš zaklati bilo što od svoje krupne ili sitne stoke što ti je Jahve dadne - kako sam ti već naredio - te jesti u bilo kojem svome gradu koliko ti duša želi.
22 Euen as the roe bucke, and the hart is eaten, so shalt thou eat them. both the vncleane and the cleane shall eate of them alike.
Jedi ga ipak onako kako se jede srna ili jelen: neka ga jedu zajedno čisti i nečisti.
23 Onely bee sure that thou eate not the blood: for the blood is the life, and thou maiest not eate the life with the flesh.
Samo, pazi da ne jedeš krvi! Ta krv je život. Ne smiješ jesti život s mesom.
24 Therefore thou shalt not eat it, but powre it vpon the earth as water.
Ne blaguj je; istoči je na zemlju kao vodu.
25 Thou shalt not eat it, that it may go well with thee; and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt doe that which is right in the sight of the Lord:
Ne smiješ je jesti, da bude dobro i tebi i tvojim sinovima poslije tebe kad činiš što je pravo u očima Jahvinim.
26 But thine holy things which thou hast, and thy vowes thou shalt take vp, and come vnto the place which the Lord shall chuse.
Ali svoje posvećene prinose i svoje zavjetne prinose uzmi i nosi na mjesto koje Jahve odabere.
27 And thou shalt make thy burnt offerings of the flesh, and of the blood vpon the altar of the Lord thy God, and the blood of thine offerings shall bee powred vpon the altar of the Lord thy God, and thou shalt eate the flesh.
Tu prinesi svoje paljenice, meso i krv, na žrtveniku Jahve, Boga svoga. Ali krv od svojih klanica istoči na žrtvenik Jahve, Boga svoga, a meso pojedi.
28 Take heede, and heare all these woordes which I commaund thee, that it may goe well with thee, and with thy children after thee for euer, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the Lord thy God.
Drži i vrši sve ove naredbe što ti ih propisujem, da bude dobro zauvijek tebi i tvojim sinovima poslije tebe kad činiš što je dobro i pravedno u očima Jahve, Boga svoga.
29 When the Lord thy God shall destroy the nations before thee, whither thou goest to possesse them, and thou shalt possesse them and dwell in their lande,
A kad Jahve, Bog tvoj, istrijebi narode na koje ideš da ih otjeraš s posjeda ispred sebe i kad ih otjeraš te se u njihovoj zemlji nastaniš,
30 Beware, lest thou be taken in a snare after them, after that they be destroied before thee, and lest thou aske after their gods, saying, Howe did these nations serue their gods, that I may doe so likewise?
čuvaj se da ne padneš u zamku; ne pođi za njima pošto budu uništeni ispred tebe. Ne istražuj o njihovim bogovima i ne govori: 'Kako su oni narodi štovali svoje bogove, tako ću i ja.'
31 Thou shalt not doe so vnto the Lord thy God: for al abomination, which the Lord hateth, haue they done vnto their gods: for they haue burned both their sonnes and their daughters with fire to their gods.
Nemoj onako postupati prema Jahvi, Bogu svome. TÓa Jahvi je zazorno i mrsko sve što su oni činili svojim bogovima. Čak su svoje sinove i kćeri spaljivali u čast svojim bogovima.
32 Therefore whatsoeuer I command you, take heede you doe it: thou shalt put nothing thereto, nor take ought therefrom.
Sve što vam naređujem držite; tomu ništa ne domeći i ništa ne oduzimaj.
