Exodus 23
1 “You shall not spread a false report. Don’t join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.
“Nemojte davati lažne izjave! Ne pomaži zlikovcu svjedočeći krivo!
2 “You shall not follow a crowd to do evil. You shall not testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice.
Ne povodi se za mnoštvom da činiš zlo; niti svjedoči u parnici stajući na stranu većine protiv pravde.
3 You shall not favor a poor man in his cause.
Ne smiješ biti pristran prema siromahu u njegovoj parnici.
4 “If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
Kad nabasaš na zalutalo goveče ili magare svoga neprijatelja, moraš mu ga natrag dovesti.
5 If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden, don’t leave him, you shall surely help him with it.
Ako opaziš magarca onoga koji te mrzi kako je pao pod svojim tovarom, nemoj ga ostaviti: zajedno s njegovim gospodarom moraš mu pomoći da se digne.
6 “You shall not deny right judgement to your poor people in their lawsuits.
Ne krnji prava svome siromahu u njegovoj parnici.
7 “Keep far from a false charge, and don’t kill the innocent and righteous: for I will not justify the wicked.
Stoj daleko od lažne optužbe; ne ubijaj nedužna i pravedna, jer ja zlikovcu ne praštam.
8 “You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.
Ne primaj mita, jer mito zasljepljuje i one koji najjasnije gledaju i upropašćuje pravo pravednika.
9 “You shall not oppress an alien, for you know the heart of an alien, since you were aliens in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
Ne ugnjetavaj pridošlicu! TÓa znate kako je pridošlici; i sami ste bili pridošlice u zemlji egipatskoj.”
10 “For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase,
“Šest godina zasijavaj svoju zemlju i njezine plodove pobiri,
11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In the same way, you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove.
a sedme je godine pusti da počiva neobrađena. Neka se s nje hrani sirotinja tvoga naroda, a što njoj ostane, neka pojede poljska živina. Radi tako i sa svojim vinogradom i svojim maslinikom.
12 “Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant, and the alien may be refreshed.
Šest dana obavljaj svoj posao, ali sedmoga dana od posala odustani, da ti otpočine vo i magarac i da odahne sin tvoje sluškinje i pridošlica.
13 “Be careful to do all things that I have said to you; and don’t invoke the name of other elohim ·deities· or even let them be sh'ma ·heard obeyed· out of your mouth.
Pripazite na sve što sam vam rekao. Ne spominjite imena drugih bogova. Neka se to i ne čuje iz tvojih usta.”
14 “You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.
“Triput na godinu održavaj u moju čast svetkovinu.
15 You shall observe the festival of Matzah ·Unleavened bread·. Seven days you shall eat matzah ·unleavened bread·, as I enjoined you, at the time appointed in the first month Aviv ·Ripening grain (of a new crop), 1· (for in it you came out of Egypt [Abode of slavery]), and no one shall appear before me empty.
Slavi Blagdan beskvasnoga kruha. U određeno vrijeme u mjesecu Abibu - jer si u njemu iz Egipta izišao - sedam dana jedi beskvasan kruh, kako sam ti naredio. Neka nitko ne stupa preda me praznih ruku!
16 And the festival of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field; and the festival of in-gathering, at the end of the year, when you gather in the results of your labors out of the field.
Onda slavi Blagdan žetve - prvina što ih donose polja koja zasijavaš. Zatim Blagdan berbe na koncu godine, kad s polja pokupiš plodove svoga truda.
17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before 'Adon Adonai [Lord Yahweh].
Triput na godinu neka svi tvoji muški stupe pred Gospodara Jahvu.
18 “You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread. The fat of my feast shall not remain all night until the morning.
Krv žrtve koju u moju čast žrtvuješ nemoj prinositi s ukvasanim kruhom; salo od žrtve prinesene na moju svetkovinu ne ostavljaj za sutradan.
19 The first of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of Adonai your God. “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk fat.
Donosi u kuću Jahve, svoga Boga, najbolje prvine sa svoje zemlje. Ne kuhaj kozleta u mlijeku njegove majke.”
20 “Behold, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
“Šaljem, evo, svog anđela pred tobom da te čuva na putu i dovede te u mjesto koje sam priredio.
21 Pay attention to him, and sh'ma ·hear obey· his voice. Don’t provoke him, for he will not pardon your rebellious breaches of relationships, for my name is in him.
Poštuj ga i slušaj! Ne buni se protiv njega, jer vam neće opraštati prekršaje: tÓa moje je ime u njemu.
22 But if you sh'ma ·hear obey· sh'ma ·hear obey· his voice, and sh'ma ·hear obey· all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
Ako mu se budeš vjerno pokoravao i budeš vršio sve što sam naredio, ja ću biti neprijatelj tvojim neprijateljima i protivnik tvojim protivnicima.
23 For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers], the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], the Perizzite [Descendant of Belonging to village], the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], the Hivite [Wicked], and the Jebusite [Descendants of Thresher]; and I will cut them off.
Anđeo će moj ići pred tobom i dovesti te do Amorejaca, Hetita, Perižana, Kanaanaca, Hivijaca i Jebusejaca da ih uništim.
24 You shall not hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to their deities, nor abad ·serve· them, nor follow their practices, but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars.
Nemoj se klanjati njihovim kumirima niti im iskazuj štovanje; ne postupaj kako oni rade nego njihove kumire poruši i stupove im porazbijaj.
25 You shall serve Adonai your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.
Iskazujte štovanje Jahvi, Bogu svome, pa ću blagoslivati tvoj kruh i tvoju vodu i uklanjati od tebe bolest.
26 No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.
U tvojoj zemlji neće biti pometkinje; ja ću učiniti punim broj tvojih dana.
27 I will send my terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
Pred tobom ću odaslati stravu svoju; u metež ću baciti sav svijet među koji dospiješ i učinit ću da svi tvoji neprijatelji bježe pred tobom.
28 I will send the hornet before you, which will divorce and drive out the Hivite [Wicked], the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], and the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], from before you.
Stršljene ću pred tobom odašiljati da ispred tebe tjeraju u bijeg Hivijce, Kanaance i Hetite.
29 I will not divorce them from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you.
Neću ih otjerati ispred tebe u jednoj godini, da zemlja ne opusti i divlje se životinje ne razmnože na tvoju štetu.
30 Little by little I will divorce them from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land.
Tjerat ću ih ispred tebe malo-pomalo dok ti potomstvo ne odraste, tako da zemlju zaposjedneš.
31 I will set your border from the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea] even to the sea of the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)], and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall divorce them from before you.
Postavit ću ti granicu: od Crvenoga do Filistejskoga mora, od pustinje pa do Rijeke. Predat ću, naime, stanovništvo zemlje u tvoje šake, a ti ga ispred sebe tjeraj.
32 You shall make no covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with them, nor with their elohim ·deities·.
Ne pravi savez ni s njima ni s njihovim kumirima.
33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin ·err (the standard goal)· against me, for if you abad ·serve· their deities, it will surely be a snare to you.”
Neka ne ostanu u tvojoj zemlji da te ne navode na grijeh protiv mene. Ako bi štovao njihove kumire, to bi ti bila stupica.”
