Deuteronomy 25
1 If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked;
Kad nastane svađa među ljudima i dođu na sud da im se sudi, neka se dade pravo onome koji je prav, a krivac neka se osudi.
2 and it shall be if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, that the judge shall make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with a number of stripes, according to his guilt.
Ako krivac zasluži da bude išiban, neka mu sudac naredi da legne i tu pred njim neka mu odbroje onoliko udaraca koliko odgovara njegovoj krivnji.
3 He may give him forty stripes and no more. Otherwise, if he should go on and beat him with more stripes than these, your brother will be humiliated in your eyes.
Do četrdeset udaraca može mu se dati, ali ne više, da modrica ne bi bila prevelika te se ne bi ponizio tvoj brat pred tobom kad bi mu udarali više udaraca.
4 You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
Ne zavezuj usta volu kad vrše.
5 If brothers dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and take her to him as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her.
Kad braća stanuju zajedno pa jedan od njih umre a da nije imao sina, žena pokojnoga neka se ne preudaje izvan kuće, nego neka k njoj pristupi njezin djever i uzme je sebi za ženu te izvrši djeversku dužnost.
6 It shall be, that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be blotted out of Israel.
A prvi sin koga ona rodi neka ostane na ime njegova pokojnoga brata da njegovo ime ne izumre u Izraelu.
7 If the man doesn't want to take his brother's wife, then his brother's wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, "My husband's brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother to me."
Ako, međutim, onaj čovjek ne želi da se oženi svojom snahom, onda njegova snaha neka dođe na vrata pred starješine i kaže: 'Neće djever moj da sačuva ime bratu svome u Izraelu; neće da mi učini djeversku dužnost.'
8 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: and if he stand, and say, "I do not want to take her";
Neka ga pozovu starješine njegova grada i pitaju. Bude li uporan i kaže: 'Ne želim se njom ženiti',
9 then his brother's wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, "So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother's house."
neka njegova snaha k njemu pristupi na oči starješine pa mu skine s noge sandalu, pljune mu u lice i kaže ove riječi: 'Ovako se radi čovjeku koji neće da podigne doma svome bratu!'
10 His name shall be called in Israel, The house of him who has his shoe untied.
Taj neka se prozove u Izraelu 'Dom bosoga'.
11 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts forth her hand, and takes him by the private parts;
Ako se dvojica potuku, pa žena jednoga pođe da izbavi svoga muža iz šaka onoga koji ga tuče i pruži ona svoju ruku i onoga uhvati za sram,
12 then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall have no pity.
odsijeci joj ruku i neka je ne sažaljuje oko tvoje.
13 You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, a great and a small.
U torbi nemoj nositi dvojak uteg, veći i manji.
14 You shall not have in your house diverse measures, a great and a small.
U svojoj kući opet nemoj držati dvojaku efu: veću i manju.
15 You shall have a perfect and just weight. You shall have a perfect and just measure, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
Neka ti je uteg potpun i točan i neka ti je efa potpuna i točna, da dugo živiš na zemlji koju ti daje Jahve, Bog tvoj.
16 For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.
TÓa Jahvi je, Bogu tvome, odvratan tko to čini, tko god čini nepravdu.
17 Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came forth out of Egypt;
Sjećaj se onoga što ti je učinio Amalek dok ste bili na putu pošto ste izišli iz Egipta;
18 how he met you by the way, and struck the hindmost of you, all who lagged behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he did not fear God.
kako te dočeka na putu i pobi u tvom zaleđu sve nemoćne kad si bio umoran i iscrpljen jer se nije Boga bojao.
19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky; you shall not forget.
I zato kad te Jahve, Bog tvoj, smiri od svih tvojih neprijatelja naokolo u zemlji koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje u baštinu, izbriši pod nebom spomen na Amaleka. Ne zaboravi!
