Deuteronomy 17
1 “Do not sacrifice to Yahweh our God any cattle or sheep or goats that have any defects, because Yahweh hates that kind of gift.”
Не приноси Господу Богу свом ни вола ни јагњета ни јарета на коме има мана или како год зло; јер је гадно пред Господом Богом твојим.
2 “When you are living in any of the towns [in the land] that Yahweh our God is giving to you, suppose you hear that there is some man or woman who sins by disobeying the agreement that Yahweh has made with you.
Ако се нађе код тебе у коме од места твојих, која ти да Господ Бог твој, човек или жена да учини зло пред Господом Богом твојим преступајући завет Његов,
3 Suppose someone tells you that that person has worshiped and served other gods, or the sun, or the moon, or the stars.
И отиде те служи другим боговима и клања им се, или сунцу или месецу или чему год из војске небеске, што нисам заповедио,
4 If you hear that some person has been doing that, you must investigate it thoroughly. If [you find out that] it is true that this detestable thing has happened in Israel,
И теби се то јави и ти чујеш, онда распитај добро; па ако буде истина и доиста се учинила она гадна ствар у Израиљу,
5 you must take outside the town the man or woman who has done it. Then you must kill that person by throwing stones at him or her.
Изведи оног човека или ону жену, који учинише оно зло, на врата своја, човека оног или жену, и заспи их камењем да погину.
6 But you are allowed to execute such people only if at least two witnesses testify that they saw them [doing that]. They must not be executed if there is only one witness.
На сведочанство два или три човека да се погуби онај кога ваља погубити; али на сведочанство једног човека да се не погуби.
7 The (witnesses/ones who saw them doing it) must be the first ones to throw stones at them. Then the other people [MTY] [should throw stones at them]. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.”
Сведоци нека први дигну руке на њ да га убију; а потом сав народ; тако извади зло из себе.
8 “Sometimes it will be very difficult for a judge to decide what really happened. He might be trying to decide whether, when someone injured or killed another person, he did it accidentally or deliberately. Or he might be trying to decide if some person is suing another person unfairly. If in some town it is very difficult to know what really happened, with the result that the judge cannot decide it, you should go to the place that Yahweh our God has chosen for you [to worship him].
Кад ти буде тешко расудити између крви и крви, између распре и распре, или између ране и ране, око којих буде парница у твом месту, тада устани и иди у место које изабере Господ Бог твој;
9 There you should present the case to the descendants of Levi who are the priests, and to the judge who is serving at that time, and they should decide what should be done.
И отиди к свештеницима Левитима или к судији који онда буде, па их упитај, и они ће ти казати како ваља пресудити.
10 After they make their decision, you must do what they tell you to do.
И учини онако како ти кажу у месту које изабере Господ, и гледај да учиниш сасвим онако како те науче.
11 Accept what they have decided, and do what they say that you should do. Do not try to change in any way what they have decided [IDM].
По закону коме те науче, и по пресуди, коју ти кажу, учини; не одступи од оног што ти кажу ни надесно ни налево.
12 You must execute anyone who proudly/arrogantly disobeys the judge or the priest who stands there in the presence of Yahweh [and decides what should be done]. By doing that, you will get rid of evil practices among you.
Ако ли би се ко упро те не би хтео послушати свештеника који онде стоји те служи Господу Богу твом, или судије, такав човек да се погуби; и извади зло из Израиља,
13 Then [after that person is executed], all the people will hear about it, and they will be afraid, and none of them will act that way any more.”
Да сав народ чује и боји се, и унапред, да не ради упорно.
14 “[I know that] after you have occupied the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you are living there, you will say, ‘We should have a king to rule over us, like the kings that other nations around us have.’
Кад уђеш у земљу коју ти даје Господ Бог твој да је наследиш, и населиш се у њој, ако кажеш: Да поставим себи цара, као што имају сви народи око мене,
15 Yahweh our God will permit you to have a king, but be sure that you appoint someone whom he has chosen. That man must be an Israeli; you must not appoint someone who is a foreigner to be your king.
Само оног постави себи за цара, ког изабере Господ Бог твој; између браће своје постави цара себи; а немој поставити над собом човека туђина, који није брат твој.
16 [After he becomes the king], he should not acquire a large number of horses for himself. He should not send people to Egypt to buy horses for him, because Yahweh said to you, ‘Never return to Egypt [for anything’]!
Али да не држи много коња, и да не враћа народ у Мисир да би имао много коња, јер вам је Господ казао: Не враћајте се више овим путем.
17 And he must not have a lot of wives, because if he did that, they would turn him [SYN] away from [worshiping only] Yahweh. And he must not acquire a lot of silver and gold.
И да нема много жена, да се не би отпадило срце његово, ни сребра ни злата да нема врло много.
18 “When he becomes your king, he must [appoint someone to] copy these laws. He must copy them from the scroll that is kept by the priests who are descended from Levi.
А кад седе на престо царства свог, нека препише себи у књигу овај закон од свештеника Левита;
19 He must keep this new scroll near him and read from it every day of his life, in order that he may learn to revere Yahweh, and to faithfully obey [DOU] all the rules and regulations [that are written] in these laws.
И нека га држи код себе и нека га чита док је жив, да се учи бојати се Господа Бога свог, држати све речи овог закона и ове уредбе, и творити их;
20 If he does that, he [SYN] will not think that he is (better/more important) than [IDM] his fellow Israelis, and he will completely obey [LIT] Yahweh’s commands. As a result, he and his descendants will rule as kings in Israel for many years.”
Да се не би подигло срце његово изнад браће његове, и да не би одступило од ове заповести ни надесно ни налево, да би дуго царовао он и синови његови у Израиљу.
