Deuteronomy 14
1 Ye are the children of the Lord your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
Vi ste sinovi Jahve, Boga svoga. Nemojte na sebi praviti ureza ni podstriga na čelu za pokojnikom.
2 For a holy people art thou unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath made choice of thee to be unto himself a peculiar nation above all the nations that are upon the face of the earth.
TÓa ti si narod posvećen Jahvi, Bogu svome; Jahve je odabrao tebe između svih naroda na zemlji da budeš njegov narod, njegova predraga svojina.
3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
Ništa odvratno nemojte jesti.
4 These are the beasts which ye may eat: The ox, the sheep, and the goat,
Ovo su životinje koje možete jesti: vol, ovca, koza,
5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow-deer, and the chamois, and the gazelle, and the wild ox, and the antelope.
jelen, srna, srndać, kozorog, antilopa, bivol i divokoza;
6 And every beast that hath parted hoofs, and whose feet are cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts—that alone may ye eat.
možete jesti svaku životinju koja ima razdvojene papke - nadvoje posve razdvojene - i koja preživa.
7 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, and of those that possess the divided cloven hoof: The camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; unclean are they unto you;
Samo od preživača ili od životinja s razdvojenim čaporcima ne možete jesti ove: devu, arnebeta i svisca. Te, naime, iako preživaju, nemaju razdvojenih papaka; neka su za vas nečiste.
8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you; of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their dead carcass shall ye not touch.
A svinja, premda ima papke razdvojene, ne preživa: neka je za vas nečista. Njezina mesa nemojte jesti niti se njezina strva doticati.
9 This may ye eat of all that is in the waters: all that hath fins and scales may ye eat;
A od svega što u vodi živi ovo možete jesti: što god ima ljuske i peraje, možete jesti.
10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales shall ye not eat; it is unclean unto you.
A što nema ljusaka i peraja, ne smijete jesti. To neka je za vas nečisto.
11 Every clean bird may ye eat.
Svaku čistu pticu možete jesti.
12 But these are they which ye shall not eat of them: The eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey,
Ali ovih ne smijete jesti: orla strvinara i jastreba,
13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
tetrijeba, sokola bilo koje vrste;
14 And every raven after his kind,
gavrana bilo koje vrste;
15 And the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind,
noja, kopca, galeba ni kraguja bilo koje vrste;
16 The little owl, and the great owl and the swan,
sove, jejine i labuda;
17 And the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the cormorant,
pelikana, bijelog strvinara i gnjurca;
18 And the stork, and the heron after his kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
rode, čaplje bilo koje vrste; pupavca i šišmiša.
19 And every winged insect is unclean unto you: it shall not be eaten.
Svi krilati kukci neka su za vas nečisti - ne smijete ih jesti.
20 All clean fowls may ye eat.
Sve krilato čisto možete jesti.
21 Ye shall not eat any thing that dieth of itself: unto the stranger that is in thy gates canst thou give it, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien; for thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God; thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's milk.
Ne smijete jesti ništa što crkne. Daj to pridošlici koji boravi u tvojim gradovima neka jede ili pak prodaj tuđincu. Jer ti si narod posvećen Jahvi, Bogu svome. Ne kuhaj kozleta u mlijeku njegove majke!
22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the produce of thy seed, which the field bringeth forth year by year.
Odvajaj desetinu dohotka svake godine od svega što tvoj usjev u polju donese.
23 And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he will choose to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thy oil, and the first-born of thy herds and of thy flocks; in order that thou may learn to fear the Lord thy God all the days.
A onda blaguj desetine svoga žita, svoga vina, svoga ulja i prvine svoje krupne i sitne stoke u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga, na mjestu koje on odabere da svoje ime ondje nastani; da se tako naučiš zauvijek bojati se Jahve, Boga svoga.
24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; because the place is too far from thee, which the Lord thy God will choose to set his name there, because the Lord thy God will bless thee:
Bude li ti put predug te ne mogneš donijeti desetine - jer je mjesto što ga Jahve odabere da u njemu nastani svoje ime previše daleko od tebe - tada, kad te Jahve, Bog tvoj, blagoslovi,
25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and thou shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God will choose;
prodaj to za novac, uzmi novac u ruku pa idi u mjesto što ga odabere Jahve, Bog tvoj.
26 And thou shalt lay out that money for whatsoever thy soul longeth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul asketh of thee; and thou shalt eat it there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thy household.
Ondje za novac kupi što želiš: goveče, sitno živinče, vino ili opojno piće - što god ti duša zaželi. Ondje u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga, blaguj i veseli se ti i tvoji ukućani.
27 And the Levite, who is within thy gates, him shalt thou not forsake; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee.
Ne zanemaruj levita koji bude u tvojim gradovima, jer on nema udjela ni baštine s tobom.
28 At the end of three years shalt thou bring forth all the tithe of thy produce in the same year, and thou shalt lay it down within thy gates:
Na kraju svake treće godine iznesi svu desetinu svoga prihoda od te godine i položi je na svoja vrata.
29 And then shall come the Levite, because he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee, with the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates, and they shall eat and be satisfied; in order that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest.
Pa neka dođe levit - jer nema udjela ni baštine s tobom - došljak, sirota i udovica koji budu živjeli u tvom gradu i neka jedu i neka se nasite. Tako će te blagoslivljati Jahve, Bog tvoj, u svim poslovima što ih tvoja ruka poduzme.
