Exodus 23
1 Thou shalt not utter a false report; put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
“Nemojte davati lažne izjave! Ne pomaži zlikovcu svjedočeći krivo!
2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou bear witness in a cause to turn aside after a multitude to pervert justice;
Ne povodi se za mnoštvom da činiš zlo; niti svjedoči u parnici stajući na stranu većine protiv pravde.
3 neither shalt thou favour a poor man in his cause.
Ne smiješ biti pristran prema siromahu u njegovoj parnici.
4 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
Kad nabasaš na zalutalo goveče ili magare svoga neprijatelja, moraš mu ga natrag dovesti.
5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under its burden, thou shalt forbear to pass by him; thou shalt surely release it with him.
Ako opaziš magarca onoga koji te mrzi kako je pao pod svojim tovarom, nemoj ga ostaviti: zajedno s njegovim gospodarom moraš mu pomoći da se digne.
6 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
Ne krnji prava svome siromahu u njegovoj parnici.
7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not; for I will not justify the wicked.
Stoj daleko od lažne optužbe; ne ubijaj nedužna i pravedna, jer ja zlikovcu ne praštam.
8 And thou shalt take no gift; for a gift blindeth them that have sight, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
Ne primaj mita, jer mito zasljepljuje i one koji najjasnije gledaju i upropašćuje pravo pravednika.
9 And a stranger shalt thou not oppress; for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Ne ugnjetavaj pridošlicu! TÓa znate kako je pridošlici; i sami ste bili pridošlice u zemlji egipatskoj.”
10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and gather in the increase thereof;
“Šest godina zasijavaj svoju zemlju i njezine plodove pobiri,
11 but the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of thy people may eat; and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.
a sedme je godine pusti da počiva neobrađena. Neka se s nje hrani sirotinja tvoga naroda, a što njoj ostane, neka pojede poljska živina. Radi tako i sa svojim vinogradom i svojim maslinikom.
12 Six days thou shalt do thy work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest; that thine ox and thine ass may have rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
Šest dana obavljaj svoj posao, ali sedmoga dana od posala odustani, da ti otpočine vo i magarac i da odahne sin tvoje sluškinje i pridošlica.
13 And in all things that I have said unto you take ye heed; and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
Pripazite na sve što sam vam rekao. Ne spominjite imena drugih bogova. Neka se to i ne čuje iz tvojih usta.”
14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto Me in the year.
“Triput na godinu održavaj u moju čast svetkovinu.
15 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep; seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib — for in it thou camest out from Egypt; and none shall appear before Me empty;
Slavi Blagdan beskvasnoga kruha. U određeno vrijeme u mjesecu Abibu - jer si u njemu iz Egipta izišao - sedam dana jedi beskvasan kruh, kako sam ti naredio. Neka nitko ne stupa preda me praznih ruku!
16 and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labours, which thou sowest in the field; and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when thou gatherest in thy labours out of the field.
Onda slavi Blagdan žetve - prvina što ih donose polja koja zasijavaš. Zatim Blagdan berbe na koncu godine, kad s polja pokupiš plodove svoga truda.
17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.
Triput na godinu neka svi tvoji muški stupe pred Gospodara Jahvu.
18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of My feast remain all night until the morning.
Krv žrtve koju u moju čast žrtvuješ nemoj prinositi s ukvasanim kruhom; salo od žrtve prinesene na moju svetkovinu ne ostavljaj za sutradan.
19 The choicest first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's milk.
Donosi u kuću Jahve, svoga Boga, najbolje prvine sa svoje zemlje. Ne kuhaj kozleta u mlijeku njegove majke.”
20 Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
“Šaljem, evo, svog anđela pred tobom da te čuva na putu i dovede te u mjesto koje sam priredio.
21 Take heed of him, and hearken unto his voice; be not rebellious against him; for he will not pardon your transgression; for My name is in him.
Poštuj ga i slušaj! Ne buni se protiv njega, jer vam neće opraštati prekršaje: tÓa moje je ime u njemu.
22 But if thou shalt indeed hearken unto his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
Ako mu se budeš vjerno pokoravao i budeš vršio sve što sam naredio, ja ću biti neprijatelj tvojim neprijateljima i protivnik tvojim protivnicima.
23 For Mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.
Anđeo će moj ići pred tobom i dovesti te do Amorejaca, Hetita, Perižana, Kanaanaca, Hivijaca i Jebusejaca da ih uništim.
24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their doings; but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and break in pieces their pillars.
Nemoj se klanjati njihovim kumirima niti im iskazuj štovanje; ne postupaj kako oni rade nego njihove kumire poruši i stupove im porazbijaj.
25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
Iskazujte štovanje Jahvi, Bogu svome, pa ću blagoslivati tvoj kruh i tvoju vodu i uklanjati od tebe bolest.
26 None shall miscarry, nor be barren, in thy land; the number of thy days I will fulfil.
U tvojoj zemlji neće biti pometkinje; ja ću učiniti punim broj tvojih dana.
27 I will send My terror before thee, and will discomfit all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.
Pred tobom ću odaslati stravu svoju; u metež ću baciti sav svijet među koji dospiješ i učinit ću da svi tvoji neprijatelji bježe pred tobom.
28 And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
Stršljene ću pred tobom odašiljati da ispred tebe tjeraju u bijeg Hivijce, Kanaance i Hetite.
29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee.
Neću ih otjerati ispred tebe u jednoj godini, da zemlja ne opusti i divlje se životinje ne razmnože na tvoju štetu.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
Tjerat ću ih ispred tebe malo-pomalo dok ti potomstvo ne odraste, tako da zemlju zaposjedneš.
31 And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.
Postavit ću ti granicu: od Crvenoga do Filistejskoga mora, od pustinje pa do Rijeke. Predat ću, naime, stanovništvo zemlje u tvoje šake, a ti ga ispred sebe tjeraj.
32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
Ne pravi savez ni s njima ni s njihovim kumirima.
33 They shall not dwell in thy land — lest they make thee sin against Me, for thou wilt serve their gods — for they will be a snare unto thee.
Neka ne ostanu u tvojoj zemlji da te ne navode na grijeh protiv mene. Ako bi štovao njihove kumire, to bi ti bila stupica.”
