< Deuteronomy 17 >
1 You shall not sacrifice to the Lord your God a calf or a sheep, in which there is a blemish, [or] any evil thing; for it is an abomination to the Lord your God.
Не приноси Господу Богу свом ни вола ни јагњета ни јарета на коме има мана или како год зло; јер је гадно пред Господом Богом твојим.
2 And if there should be found in any one of your cities, which the Lord your God gives you, a man or a woman who shall do that which is evil before the Lord your God, so as to transgress his covenant,
Ако се нађе код тебе у коме од места твојих, која ти да Господ Бог твој, човек или жена да учини зло пред Господом Богом твојим преступајући завет Његов,
3 and they should go and serve other gods, and worship them, the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which he commanded you not to do,
И отиде те служи другим боговима и клања им се, или сунцу или месецу или чему год из војске небеске, што нисам заповедио,
4 and it be told you, and you shall have enquired diligently, and, behold, the thing really took place, this abomination has been done in Israel;
И теби се то јави и ти чујеш, онда распитај добро; па ако буде истина и доиста се учинила она гадна ствар у Израиљу,
5 then shall you bring out that man, or that woman, and you shall stone them with stones, and they shall die.
Изведи оног човека или ону жену, који учинише оно зло, на врата своја, човека оног или жену, и заспи их камењем да погину.
6 He shall die on the testimony of two or three witnesses; a man who is put to death shall not be put to death for one witness.
На сведочанство два или три човека да се погуби онај кога ваља погубити; али на сведочанство једног човека да се не погуби.
7 And the hand of the witnesses shall be upon him among the first to put him to death, and the hand of the people at the last; so shall you remove the evil one from among yourselves.
Сведоци нека први дигну руке на њ да га убију; а потом сав народ; тако извади зло из себе.
8 And if a matter shall be too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, and between cause and cause, and between stroke and stroke, and between contradiction and contradiction, matters of judgment in your cities;
Кад ти буде тешко расудити између крви и крви, између распре и распре, или између ране и ране, око којих буде парница у твом месту, тада устани и иди у место које изабере Господ Бог твој;
9 then you shall arise and go up to the place which the Lord your God shall choose, and you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days, and they shall search out [the matter] and report the judgment to you.
И отиди к свештеницима Левитима или к судији који онда буде, па их упитај, и они ће ти казати како ваља пресудити.
10 And you shall act according to the thing which they shall report to you out of the place which the Lord your God shall choose, and you shall observe to do all whatever shall have been by law appointed to you.
И учини онако како ти кажу у месту које изабере Господ, и гледај да учиниш сасвим онако како те науче.
11 You shall do according to the law and to the judgment which they shall declare to you: you shall not swerve to the right hand or to the left from any sentence which they shall report to you.
По закону коме те науче, и по пресуди, коју ти кажу, учини; не одступи од оног што ти кажу ни надесно ни налево.
12 And the man whoever shall act in haughtiness, so as not to listen to the priest who stands to minister in the name of the Lord your God, or the judge who shall preside in those days, that man shall die, and you shall remove the evil one out of Israel.
Ако ли би се ко упро те не би хтео послушати свештеника који онде стоји те служи Господу Богу твом, или судије, такав човек да се погуби; и извади зло из Израиља,
13 And all the people shall hear and fear, and shall no more commit impiety.
Да сав народ чује и боји се, и унапред, да не ради упорно.
14 And when you shall enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, and shall inherit it and dwell in it, and shall say, I will set a ruler over me, as also the other nations round about me;
Кад уђеш у земљу коју ти даје Господ Бог твој да је наследиш, и населиш се у њој, ако кажеш: Да поставим себи цара, као што имају сви народи око мене,
15 you shall surely set over you the ruler whom the Lord God shall choose: of your brethren you shall set over you a ruler; you shall not have power to set over you a stranger, because he is not your brother.
Само оног постави себи за цара, ког изабере Господ Бог твој; између браће своје постави цара себи; а немој поставити над собом човека туђина, који није брат твој.
16 For he shall not multiply to himself horses, and he shall by no means turn the people back to Egypt, lest he should multiply to himself horses; for the Lord said, You shall not any more turn back by that way.
Али да не држи много коња, и да не враћа народ у Мисир да би имао много коња, јер вам је Господ казао: Не враћајте се више овим путем.
17 And he shall not multiply to himself wives, lest his heart turn away; and he shall not greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
И да нема много жена, да се не би отпадило срце његово, ни сребра ни злата да нема врло много.
18 And when he shall be established in his government, then shall he write for himself this repetition of the law into a book by the hands of the priests the Levites;
А кад седе на престо царства свог, нека препише себи у књигу овај закон од свештеника Левита;
19 and it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord your God, and to keep all these commandments, and to observe these ordinances:
И нека га држи код себе и нека га чита док је жив, да се учи бојати се Господа Бога свог, држати све речи овог закона и ове уредбе, и творити их;
20 that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, that he depart not from the commandments on the right hand or on the left; that he and his sons may reign long in his dominion among the children of Israel.
Да се не би подигло срце његово изнад браће његове, и да не би одступило од ове заповести ни надесно ни налево, да би дуго царовао он и синови његови у Израиљу.
