Deuteronomy 21
1 If one be founde slaine in the lande, which the Lord thy God giueth thee to possesse it, lying in the field, and it is not knowe who hath slaine him,
Če je nekdo najden ubit na polju, ki ti ga Gospod, tvoj Bog, daje v last, ležeč na polju in se ne ve kdo ga je umoril,
2 Then thine Elders and thy Iudges shall come forth, and measure vnto the cities that are round about him that is slayne.
potem bodo prišli tvoje starešine in tvoji sodniki in bodo izmerili [razdaljo] do mest, ki so naokoli tega, ki je umorjen.
3 Aud let ye Elders of that citie, which is next vnto the slaine man, take out of the droue an heifer that hath not bene put to labour, nor hath drawen in the yoke.
Zgodilo se bo, da mesto, ki je bliže umorjenemu človeku, celo starešine tega mesta bodo vzeli telico, s katero še niso delali in ki še ni vlekla jarma,
4 And let the Elders of that citie bring the heifer vnto a stonie valley, which is neyther eared nor sowen, and strike off the heifers necke there in the valley.
in starešine tega mesta bodo telico privedli dol v valovito dolino, ki ni niti obdelana niti posejana in tam, v dolini, bodo telici zlomili vrat
5 Also the Priests the sonnes of Leui (whom the Lord thy God hath chosen to minister, and to blesse in the name of the Lord) shall come forth, and by their word shall all strife and plague be tried.
in duhovniki, sinovi Lévijevcev, se bodo približali, kajti njih je Gospod, tvoj Bog, izbral, da mu služijo in da blagoslavljajo v Gospodovem imenu, in po njihovi besedi bo vsaka polemika in vsak udarec preizkušen
6 And all the Elders of that citie that came neere to the slayne man, shall wash their hands ouer the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
in vse starešine tega mesta, ki je bliže umorjenemu človeku, si bodo roke umili nad telico, ki je obglavljena v dolini
7 And shall testifie, and say, Our handes haue not shed this blood, neither haue our eies seene it.
in odgovorili bodo ter rekli: ›Naše roke niso prelile te krvi niti naše oči tega niso videle.
8 O Lord, be mercifull vnto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay no innocent blood to the charge of thy people Israel, and the blood shalbe forgiuen them.
Bodi usmiljen, oh Gospod, svojemu ljudstvu Izraelu, ki si ga odkupil in ne polagaj nedolžne krvi na svoje ljudstvo Izrael, ki je najbliže.‹ In kri jim bo odpuščena.
9 So shalt thou take away the cry of innocet blood from thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.
Tako boš izmed sebe odvzel krivdo nedolžne krvi, ko boš storil to, kar je pravilno v Gospodovih očeh.
10 Whe thou shalt go to warre against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God shall deliuer them into thine hands, and thou shalt take the captiues,
Ko greš naprej v vojno zoper svoje sovražnike in ti jih Gospod, tvoj Bog, izroči v tvoje roke in si jih zajel kot ujetnike
11 And shalt see among the captiues a beautifull woman, and hast a desire vnto her, and wouldest take her to thy wife,
in vidiš med ujetniki lepo žensko in imaš do nje poželenje, da bi jo imel za svojo ženo,
12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shaue her head, and pare her nayles,
potem jo boš privedel domov, v svojo hišo. Ona si bo obrila svojo glavo in postrigla svoje nohte
13 And she shall put off the garment that shee was taken in, and she shall remaine in thine house, and bewaile her father and her mother a moneth long: and after that shalt thou go in vnto her, and marry her, and she shalbe thy wife.
in iz sebe bo odložila oblačila svojega ujetništva in ostala bo v tvoji hiši in cel mesec bo objokovala svojega očeta in svojo mater. Potem boš šel noter k njej in boš njen soprog in ona bo tvoja žena.
14 And if thou haue no fauour vnto her, then thou mayest let her go whither she will, but thou shalt not sell her for money, nor make marchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
In zgodilo se bo, če z njo ne boš imel veselja, potem jo boš pustil oditi kamor ona hoče. Toda, ker si jo ponižal, je nikakor ne boš prodal za denar, iz nje ne boš naredil trgovskega blaga.
15 If a man haue two wiues, one loued and another hated, and they haue borne him children, both the loued and also the hated: if the first borne be the sonne of the hated,
Če ima mož dve ženi, eno ljubljeno in drugo osovraženo in sta mu rodili otroke, obe, ljubljena in osovražena in če je prvorojenec od tiste, ki je bila osovražena,
16 Then when the time commeth, that hee appointeth his sonnes to be heires of that which he hath, he may not make the sonne of the beloued first borne before the sonne of the hated, which is the first borne:
potem se bo zgodilo, ko daje svojim sinovom podedovati to, kar ima, da ne sme narediti sina ljubljene prvorojenca pred sinom osovražene, ki je zares prvorojenec,
17 But he shall acknowledge the sonne of the hated for the first borne, and giue him double portion of all that he hath: for hee is the first of his strength, and to him belongeth the right of the first borne.
temveč bo sina osovražene priznal za prvorojenca s tem, da mu da dvojni delež od vsega, kar ima, kajti on je začetek njegove moči; pravica prvorojenca je njegova.
18 If any man haue a sonne that is stubburne and disobedient, which wil not hearken vnto the voice of his father, nor the voyce of his mother, and they haue chastened him, and he would not obey them,
Če ima človek trmoglavega in upornega sina, ki noče ubogati glasu svojega očeta ali glasu svoje matere in ko sta ga karala, da ju noče poslušati,
19 Then shall his father and his mother take him, and bring him out vnto the Elders of his citie, and vnto the gate of the place where he dwelleth,
potem naj ga njegov oče in njegova mati primeta in ga privedeta k starešinam njegovega mesta in k velikim vratom njegovega kraja
20 And shall say vnto the Elders of his citie, This our sonne is stubburne and disobedient, and he wil not obey our admonition: he is a riotour, and a drunkard.
in starešinam mesta bosta rekla: ›Ta najin sin je trmoglav in uporen, noče ubogati najinega glasu. Požeruh je in pijanec.‹
21 Then all the men of his citie shall stone him with stones vnto death: so thou shalt take away euill from among you, that all Israel may heare it, and feare.
In vsi ljudje iz njegovega mesta ga bodo kamnali s kamni, da ta umre. Tako boš zlo odstranil proč izmed vas in ves Izrael bo slišal in se bal.
22 If a man also haue committed a trespasse worthy of death, and is put to death, and thou hangest him on a tree,
Če je moški zagrešil greh, vreden smrti, in bo usmrčen in ga obesiš na drevo,
23 His body shall not remaine all night vpon the tree, but thou shalt bury him the same day: for the curse of God is on him that is hanged. Defile not therfore thy land which the Lord thy God giueth thee to inherite.
naj njegovo truplo ne ostane vso noč na drevesu, temveč ga boš vsekakor tisti dan pokopal (kajti ta, ki je obešen, je preklet od Boga), da tvoja dežela, ki ti jo Gospod, tvoj Bog, daje za dediščino, ne bo omadeževana.
