Deuteronomy 24
1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass, that if she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some scandalous thing in her, he may write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her away out of his house;
Kada tko uzme ženu i s njome postupi kao muž, a potom na njoj otkrije što ružno te ona više ne nalazi milosti u njegovim očima i on joj napiše otpusno pismo, uruči joj ga i potjera je iz svoje kuće,
2 And she shall depart out of his house; and if she go and become another man's wife;
a ona izađe iz njegove kuće, ode i pođe za drugoga
3 And the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her away out of his house; or if the latter husband, who took her as his wife, should die:
pa omrzne i tome drugomu te joj i on napiše otpusno pismo, uruči joj ga i otjera je iz svoje kuće - ili pak umre taj koji ju je drugi uzeo -
4 Then shall her former husband, who had sent her away, not be at liberty to take her again to be his wife, after she hath been defiled; for it is abomination before the Lord; and thou shalt not bring sin upon the land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
tada je, pošto se tako oskvrnula, ne može opet uzeti za ženu onaj prvi muž koji je bijaše otpustio. Bilo bi to odvratno pred Jahvom; ne smiješ uvaljivati u grijeh zemlju koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje u baštinu.
5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any public business: he shall be free for his house one year, and shall cheer up his wife whom he hath taken.
Kad se tko netom oženi, neka ne ide u vojsku; neka mu se ne dodjeljuje nikakva služba, nego, oslobođen, neka ostane kod kuće godinu dana da razveseljuje ženu koju je doveo.
6 No man shall take to pledge the nether or the upper millstone; for he taketh a man's life to pledge.
Neka se ne uzima u zalog žrvanj, ni gornji ni donji: tÓa time bi se u zalog uzimao sam život.
7 If a man be found stealing any one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and he treateth him as a slave, and selleth him: then shall that thief die; and thou shalt put the evil away from the midst of thee.
Ako se nađe tko da otme koga između svoje braće Izraelaca te postupi s njim kao s robom ili ga proda, taj otmičar neka se smakne! Tako ćeš iskorijeniti zlo iz svoje sredine.
8 Take heed of the plague of leprosy, to observe diligently, and to do according to all that the priests, the Levites, may instruct you; as I have commanded them, so shall ye observe to do.
Javi li se guba, pazi da brižno držiš i vršiš sve što vas pouče levitski svećenici. Držite i vršite što njima naredim.
9 Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam on the journey, at your coming forth out of Egypt.
Sjećaj se što je Jahve, Bog tvoj, učinio Mirjami na putu kad ste izišli iz Egipta.
10 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing as a loan, thou shalt not go into his house to take his pledge.
Kada bližnjemu svome daješ bilo kakav zajam, nemoj ulaziti u njegovu kuću da mu uzmeš zalog.
11 In the street shalt thou stand, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out unto thee the pledge into the street.
Stoj vani, a čovjek komu si dao zajam neka ti iznese zalog van.
12 And if he be a poor man, thou shalt not lie down with his pledge:
A ako on bude siromah, nemoj lijegati s njegovim zalogom;
13 Thou shalt punctually deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may lie under his own cover, and bless thee; and unto thee shall it be as righteousness before the Lord thy God.
o zalasku sunca moraš mu vratiti zalog da on mogne spavati u svome ogrtaču i tebe blagoslivljati. To će ti biti dobro djelo pred Jahvom, Bogom tvojim.
14 Thou shalt not withhold the wages of a hired man, of the poor and needy, [whether he be] of thy brethren, or of the strangers that are in thy land within thy gates.
Nemoj zakidati jadnoga i bijednog najamnika, bio on tvoj sunarodnjak ili došljak iz kojega grada u tvojoj zemlji.
15 On the same day shalt thou give him his wages, that the sun may not go down upon it; for he is poor, and his soul longeth for it; so that he may not cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin in thee.
Svaki dan daj mu zaradu prije nego sunce zađe, jer je siromah i za njom uzdiše. Tako neće na te vapiti Jahvi i nećeš sagriješiti.
16 Fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall children be put to death for the fathers: for his own sin shall every man be put to death.
Neka se očevi ne osuđuju na smrt zbog sinova ni sinovi zbog očeva; neka svatko za svoj grijeh gine.
17 Thou shalt not pervert the cause of the stranger, or of the fatherless; and thou shalt not take in pledge the raiment of a widow;
Ne izvrći pravice došljaku ni siroti i ne uzimaj u zalog haljine udovici.
18 But thou shalt remember that thou waste a bond-man in Egypt, and that the Lord thy God redeemed thee thence; therefore do I command thee to do this thing.
Sjećaj se da si bio rob u Egiptu i da te odande izbavio Jahve, Bog tvoj; zato ti nalažem da ovu zapovijed vršiš.
19 When thou cuttest down thy harvest in thy field, and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go back to fetch it; for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow shall it be; in order that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands.
Kad žanješ žito na svojoj njivi pa zaboraviš koji snop na njivi, ne vraćaj se po nj; neka ostane došljaku, siroti i udovici da te Jahve, Bog tvoj, blagoslovi u svakom pothvatu ruku tvojih.
20 When thou beatest thy olive-tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again; for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow shall it be.
Kad jednom omlatiš svoje masline, više iza sebe ne pretražuj; neka to ostane došljaku, siroti i udovici.
21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean the small fruit afterward; for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow shall it be.
Kad obereš svoj vinograd, ne paljetkuj iza sebe; neka to bude za došljaka, sirotu i udovicu.
22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bond-man in the land of Egypt; therefore do I command thee to do this thing:
Sjećaj se kako si bio rob u zemlji egipatskoj; zato ti naređujem da ovu zapovijed vršiš.
