Leviticus 20
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
Jahve reče Mojsiju:
2 Unto the sons of Israel, therefore shalt thou say, What man soever, there may be of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners that sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto Molech, he shall, surely be put to death, —the people of the land shall stone him with stones;
“Kaži Izraelcima: 'Tko god, Izraelac, ili stranac koji živi s Izraelcima, ustupi svoje čedo Moleku, mora se smaknuti; narod zemlje neka ga kamenuje.
3 I, also, will set my face against that man, and will cut him off out of the midst of his people, —because of his seed, hath he given unto Molech, seeing that he hath made unclean my sanctuary, even to the extent of profaning my holy name.
Ja ću se okrenuti protiv toga čovjeka i odstraniti ga iz njegova naroda, jer je on, ustupivši svoje čedo Moleku, okaljao moje Svetište i obeščastio moje sveto ime.
4 But, if the people of the land, do even hide, their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, —so as not to put him to death,
A ako narod zatvori svoje oči nad tim čovjekom kad svoje čedo ustupi Moleku te ga ne smakne,
5 then will I myself, set my face against that man, and against his family, —and will cut him off, and all that follow unchastely after him—in going unchastely after Molech—out of the midst of their people.
ja ću se suprotstaviti tome čovjeku i njegovoj obitelji; odstranit ću ih iz njihova naroda, njega i sve koji poslije njega pođu za Molekom da se podaju bludu s Molekom.
6 The person also that turneth unto mediums and unto oracles, in going unchastely after them, then will I set my face against that person, and will cut him off out of the midst of his people.
Ako se tko obrati na zazivače duhova i vračare da se za njima poda javnom bludu, ja ću se okrenuti protiv takva čovjeka i odstranit ću ga iz njegova naroda.
7 Therefore shall ye hallow yourselves and be holy, —Because I—Yahweh, am your God.
Posvećujte se da budete sveti! TÓa ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.
8 Therefore shall ye observe my statutes, and do them, —I—Yahweh, am he that is hallowing you.
Držite moje zakone i vršite ih. Ja, Jahve, posvećujem vas'.”
9 When, any man whatsoever, curseth his father or his mother, he shall surely be put to death, —his father or his mother, hath he cursed, his blood, shall be upon himself.
“Tko god prokune svoga oca i svoju majku, neka se smakne. Jer je oca svoga i majku svoju prokleo, neka njegova krv padne na nj.
10 And, any man, who committeth adultery with the wife of any other man, he that committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour shall surely be put to death—the adulterer, and the adulteress.
Čovjek koji počini preljub sa ženom svoga susjeda neka se kazni smrću - i preljubnik i preljubnica.
11 And any man who lieth with his father’s wife, the shame of his father, hath uncovered, —they both shall, surely be put to death—their blood shall be upon themselves.
Čovjek koji bi legao sa ženom svoga oca - otkrio bi golotinju svoga oca - neka se oboje kazne smrću, krv njihova neka padne na njih.
12 And any man who lieth with his daughter-in-law, they both shall, surely be put to death, confusion, have they wrought—their blood shall be upon themselves.
Legne li tko sa svojom snahom, neka se oboje kazne smrću. Učinili su rodoskvrnuće i neka krv njihova padne na njih.
13 And any man who lieth with mankind as with womankind, an abomination, have both of them wrought, —they shall, surely be put to death, —their blood, shall be upon themselves.
Ako bi muškarac legao s muškarcem kao što se liježe sa ženom, obojica bi počinila odvratno djelo. Neka se smaknu i krv njihova neka padne na njih.
14 And, any man, who taketh a woman and her mother, wickedness, it is, —in fire, shall both he and they be consumed, that wickedness be not in your midst.
Čovjek koji se oženi kćerju i njezinom majkom - krajnja je to pokvarenost! - neka se u vatri spali i on i one, da među vama ne bude pokvarenosti.
15 And, any man, who hath carnal knowledge of a beast, shall, surely be put to death, —and, the beast, shall ye slay.
Čovjek koji bi spolno općio sa životinjom ima se smaknuti. Životinju ubijte!
16 And, a woman, who approacheth unto any beast, to couch down thereto, then shalt thou slay the woman and the beast, —they shall surely be put to death, —their blood, shall be upon themselves.
Ako bi se žena primakla bilo kakvoj životinji da se s njom pari, ubij i ženu i životinju. Neka se smaknu i njihova krv neka padne na njih.
17 And, any man, who taketh his sister—his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and vieweth her shame, and, she, vieweth his shame, a disgrace, it is, —they shall therefore be cut off in the sight of the sons of their people, —the shame of his sister, hath he uncovered—his iniquity, shall he bear.
Čovjek koji bi se oženio svojom sestrom, kćerju svoga oca ili kćerju svoje majke te vidio njezinu golotinju, a ona vidjela njegovu - pogrdno je to djelo! - neka se istrijebe pred očima naroda. Otkrio je golotinju svoje sestre, pa neka snosi i posljedice svoje krivnje.
18 And, any man, who lieth with a woman having her sickness, and uncovereth her shame, her fountain, hath he exposed, she, also hath uncovered her fountain of blood, —they shall therefore both be cut off out of the midst of their people.
Čovjek koji bi legao sa ženom za njezina mjesečnog pranja te otkrio njezinu golotinju - razgolio izvor njezine krvi i ona sama otkrila izvor svoje krvi - neka se oboje odstrane iz svoga naroda.
19 And the shame of thy mother’s sister, or of thy father’s sister, shalt thou not uncover, —for his near of kin, hath he exposed—their iniquity, shall they bear.
Ne otkrivaj golotinje sestre svoje majke niti sestre svoga oca - to je otkrivanje golotinje svoga roda, neka snose posljedice svoje krivnje.
20 And, any man, who lieth with his uncle’s wife, the shame of his uncle, hath he uncovered, —their sin, shall they bear—childless, shall they die.
Čovjek koji bi legao sa svojom strinom otkrio bi golotinju svoga strica. Neka snose posljedice svoga grijeha: neka umru bez poroda.
21 And, any man, who taketh his brother’s wife, impurity, it is, —the shame of his brother, hath he uncovered—childless, shall they remain.
Čovjek koji bi se oženio ženom svoga brata - golotinju bi svoga brata otkrio - i to je nečisto. Neka ostanu bez poroda.”
22 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes and all my regulations, and do them, —So shall the land whereinto I am bringing you to dwell therein, not vomit you forth;
“Zato držite sve moje zakone, sve moje naredbe i vršite ih da vas ne ispljune zemlja u koju vas vodim da se u njoj nastanite.
23 So shall ye not walk in the—statutes of the nations, which I am casting out from before you, —For all these things, had they done, Therefore I abhorred them;
Nemojte živjeti po zakonima naroda koje ja ispred vas tjeram. TÓa oni su činili sve to, i zato mi se zgadili.
24 And said unto you—Ye, shall possess their soil, Yea, I myself, will give it you to possess it, A land flowing with milk and honey, —I—Yahweh, am your God, who have distinguished you from the peoples;
A vama sam ja rekao: vi ćete zaposjesti njihovu zemlju; vama ću je predati u posjed - zemlju kojom teče mlijeko i med. Ja sam Jahve, vaš Bog, koji sam vas odvojio od tih naroda.
25 Therefore shall ye make a distinction—Between the clean beasts, and the unclean, —And between the unclean birds and the clean, —So shall ye not make your persons abominable with beast, or with bird or with anything which creepeth upon the ground, which I have distinguished for you, as unclean.
Pravite, dakle, razliku između čiste životinje i nečiste; između čiste ptice i nečiste. Nemojte sami sebe opoganjivati ni životinjom, ni pticom, ni bilo čim što zemljom puže: što sam vam ja odlučio kao nečisto.
26 Therefore shall ye be unto me, holy persons, for, holy, am, I—Yahweh, —Therefore have I distinguished you from the peoples, that ye may be mine.
Budite mi dakle sveti, jer sam ja, Jahve, svet; ja sam vas odvojio od tih naroda da budete moji.
27 And as touching man or woman, when there shall be in them a familiar spirit, or the spirit of an oracle, they shall, surely be put to death, —with stones, shall they be stoned—their blood, shall be upon themselves.
Čovjek ili žena koji među vama postanu zazivači duhova ili vračari neka se kazne smrću; neka se kamenuju i neka njihova krv padne na njih.”
