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.”
Да не пожреши Господеви Богу твоему телца или овчате, на немже есть порок, всяк глагол зол: яко мерзость Господеви Богу твоему есть.
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.
Аще же обрящется у тебе во единем от градов твоих, яже Господь Бог твои дает тебе, муж или жена, иже сотворит лукавое пред Господем Богом твоим, преступити завет Его:
3 Suppose someone tells you that that person has worshiped and served other gods, or the sun, or the moon, or the stars.
и шедше послужат богом иным и поклонятся им, солнцу, или луне, или всякому яже от красоты небесныя, ихже не повелех тебе:
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 возвестится тебе, и взыщеши зело, и се, истинно бысть слово, мерзость сотворися сия во Израили:
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.
да изведеши человека того, или жену ту, иже сотвориша дело злое сие, пред двери, и побиете их камением, и да умрут.
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.
При двою свидетелех или при трех да умрет: умираяй да не умрет при единем свидетели:
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.”
и рука свидетелей да будет на нем в первых, умертвити его, и рука всех людий послежде: и измите злое от вас самех.
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].
Аще же неудоборешимо слово у тебе в суде между кровию и кровию, и между судом и судом, и между язвою и язвою, и между прением и прением, словеса судная в градех твоих, и востав взыдеши на место, еже изберет Господь Бог твой призвати имя Его тамо:
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 приидеши к жерцем левитом, и к судии, иже будет в тыя дни, и взыскавше возвестят тебе суд:
10 After they make their decision, you must do what they tell you to do.
и сотвориши по словеси, еже возвестят тебе от места, еже изберет Господь Бог твой призывати имя Его тамо, и да сохраниши зело творити вся, елика законоположатся тебе:
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 и по суду, егоже рекут тебе, сотвориши, да не уклонишися от словесе, еже известят тебе, ни на десно, ни на лево.
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.
И человек, иже сотворит в гордости, еже не послушати жерца предстоящаго служити во имя Господа Бога твоего, или судии, иже в тыя дни будет, да умрет человек той, и да измеши злое от Израиля:
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.”
и вси людие услышавше убоятся, и не будут нечествовати ктому.
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.’
Аще же внидеши в землю, юже Господь Бог твой дает тебе в жребий, и приимеши ю, и вселишися на ней, и речеши: поставлю князя над собою, якоже и прочии языцы, иже окрест 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.
поставляя да поставиши над собою князя, егоже изберет Господь Бог твой, от братии твоея да поставиши над собою князя, не возможеши поставити над собою князя человека чуждаго, яко не брат твой есть.
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’]!
Обаче да не умножит себе коней, ниже да возвратит людий во Египет, яко да не умножит себе коней: Господь же рече вам: не приложите возвратитися путем сим ктому:
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 не умножит себе жен, да не превратится сердце его: и сребра и злата да не умножит себе зело.
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.
И будет егда сядет на престоле власти своея, да напишет себе второзаконие сие в книзе от жерцев левитов,
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 будет с ним, и да чтет ю во вся дни жития своего, да научится боятися Господа Бога своего и хранити вся заповеди сия и оправдания сия, творити я:
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 не возвысится сердце его от братии его, да не преступит от заповедий ни на десно, ни на лево яко да будет многа лета во власти своей, той и сыны его с ним, в сынех Израилевых.
