Deuteronomy 19
1 “When your God YHWH cuts off the nations whose land your God YHWH is giving to you, and you have dispossessed them, and dwelt in their cities and in their houses,
Кад Господ Бог твој потре народе којих земљу даје теби Господ Бог твој, и кад их наследиш и настаниш се по градовима њиховим и по кућама њиховим,
2 you separate three cities for yourself in the midst of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.
Одвој три града усред земље своје коју ти даје Господ Бог твој да је наследиш,
3 You prepare the way for yourself, and have divided into three parts the border of your land which your God YHWH causes you to inherit, and it has been for the fleeing there of every manslayer.
Начини пут, и раздели на троје крајеве земље своје коју ти да Господ Бог твој у наследство, па нека бежи онамо сваки крвник.
4 And this [is] the matter of the manslayer who flees there, and has lived: he who strikes his neighbor unknowingly, and is not hating him before—
А овако нека буде с крвником који утече онамо, да би остао жив: ко убије ближњег свог нехотице, не мрзевши пре на њ,
5 even he who comes into a forest with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand has driven with an axe to cut the tree, and the iron has slipped from the wood, and has met his neighbor, and he has died—he flees to one of these cities, and has lived,
Као кад би ко отишао с ближњим својим у шуму да сече дрва, па би замахнуо секиром у руци својој да посече дрво, а она би спала с држалице и погодила би ближњег његова тако да умре он нека утече у који од тих градова да остане жив,
6 lest the redeemer of blood pursue after the manslayer when his heart is hot and has overtaken him, because the way is great, and has struck his life, and he has no sentence of death, for he is not hating him before;
Да не би осветник потерао крвника док му је срце распаљено и да га не би стигао на далеком путу и убио га, премда није заслужио смрт, јер није пре мрзео на њ.
7 therefore I am commanding you, saying, You separate three cities for yourself.
Зато ти заповедам и велим: три града одвој.
8 And if your God YHWH enlarges your border, as He has sworn to your fathers, and has given to you all the land which He has spoken to give to your fathers—
А кад рашири Господ Бог твој међе твоје као што се заклео оцима твојим, и да ти сву земљу коју је рекао дати оцима твојим,
9 when you keep all this command to do it, which I am commanding you today, to love your God YHWH and to walk in His ways [for] all the days—then you have added three more cities for yourself to these three;
Ако уздржиш и уствориш све ове заповести, које ти ја данас заповедам, да љубиш Господа Бога свог и ходиш путевима Његовим свагда, онда додај још три града осим она три,
10 and [do this] lest innocent blood is shed in the midst of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance, and there has been blood on you.
Да се не пролива крв права у земљи твојој, коју ти Господ Бог твој даје у наследство, и да не буде на теби крв.
11 And when a man is hating his neighbor, and has lain in wait for him, and risen against him, and struck his life, and he has died, then he has fled to one of these cities,
Али ако ко мрзи на ближњег свог и вреба га, и скочи на њ, и удари га тако да умре, а он утече у који од тих градова,
12 and [the] elderly of his city have sent and taken him from there, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood, and he has died;
Онда старешине места његова нека пошаљу и узму га оданде, и предаду га у руке осветнику да се погуби.
13 your eye has no pity on him, and you have put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it is well with you.
Нека га не жали око твоје него скини крв праву с Израиља, да би ти добро било.
14 You do not remove a border of your neighbor, which they of former times have made, in your inheritance, which you inherit in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.
Не помичи међе ближњег свог коју поставе стари у наследству твом које добијеш у земљи коју ти Господ Бог твој даје да је наследиш.
15 One witness does not rise against a man for any iniquity and for any sin, in any sin which he sins; by the mouth of two witnesses or by the mouth of three witnesses is a thing established.
Нека не устаје један сведок на човека ни за како зло и ни за какав грех између свих греха који се чине, него на речима два или три сведока да остаје ствар.
16 When a violent witness rises against a man to testify against him apostasy,
Ако би устао лажан сведок на кога да сведочи на њега да се одмеће Бога,
17 then both of the men who have the strife have stood before YHWH, before the priests and the judges who are in those days,
Онда нека стану та два човека, који имају ту распру, пред Господа, пред свештенике и пред судије које буду у то време;
18 and the judges have searched diligently, and behold, the witness [is] a false witness who has testified a falsehood against his brother,
И нека добро испитају судије, ако сведок онај буде лажан сведок и лажно сведочи на брата свог,
19 then you have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and you have put away evil out of your midst,
Учините му онако како је он мислио учинити брату свом и извади зло из себе,
20 and those who are left hear and fear, and do not add to do according to this evil thing in your midst anymore.
Да се остали чувши то боје, и унапред више не чине тако зло усред тебе.
21 And your eye does not pity—life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
Нека не жали око твоје: живот за живот, око за око, зуб за зуб, руку за руку, ногу за ногу.
