Deuteronomy 25
1 “If [two] Israelis have a dispute and they go to a court, the judge will [probably] decide/declare that one of them (is innocent/did not do any wrong) and the other one is guilty.
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 If the judge says that the guilty person must be punished, he shall command him to lie [with his face] on the ground and be whipped. The number of times he is struck with a whip will depend on [what kind of] crime he committed.
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 It is permitted that he be struck as many as 40 times, but no more than that. If he is struck more than 40 times, he would be humiliated publicly.
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 When your ox is treading/walking on the grain [to separate the chaff from the grain], do not (muzzle it/put a covering on its mouth) [to prevent it from eating some of the grain].
Ne zavezuj usta volu kad vrše.
5 If two brothers live on the same property, and one of them who has no son dies, the man’s widow should not marry someone who is not a member of his family. The dead man’s brother must marry her and have sex [EUP] with her. It is his duty to do that.
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 If she later gives birth to a son, that son is to be considered [MTY] the son of the man who died, in order that the dead man’s name will not disappear from Israel.
A prvi sin koga ona rodi neka ostane na ime njegova pokojnoga brata da njegovo ime ne izumre u Izraelu.
7 “But if the dead man’s brother does not want to marry that woman, she must stand at the (gate/central meeting place) of the town and say to the [town] elders, ‘My husband’s brother will not do (his duty/what he is supposed to do). He refuses to [marry me in order that I may give birth to a son who will] prevent my dead husband’s name from disappearing in Israel.’
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 must summon that man and talk to him. If he still refuses to marry that widow,
Neka ga pozovu starješine njegova grada i pitaju. Bude li uporan i kaže: 'Ne želim se njom ženiti',
9 she must go up to him while the elders are watching, and take off one of his sandals [to symbolize/show that he would not receive any of her property], and spit in his face, and say to him, ‘This is what happens to the man who refuses to do what is needed [to allow his dead brother to have a son] in order that our family name does not disappear.’
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 After that happens, that man’s family will be known as ‘the family of the man whose sandal was pulled off’.
Taj neka se prozove u Izraelu 'Dom bosoga'.
11 When [two] men are fighting with each other, and the one man’s wife comes near to help her husband by grabbing hold of the other man’s genitals,
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 do not act mercifully toward her; cut off her hand.
odsijeci joj ruku i neka je ne sažaljuje oko tvoje.
13 “[When you are buying or selling things], do not try to cheat people by having two kinds of weights, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something], and two kinds of measuring baskets, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something].
U torbi nemoj nositi dvojak uteg, veći i manji.
U svojoj kući opet nemoj držati dvojaku efu: veću i manju.
15 Always use correct weights and correct measuring baskets, in order that Yahweh our God will allow you to live a long time in the land that he is giving to 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 Yahweh hates all those who act dishonestly, [and he will punish them].
TÓa Jahvi je, Bogu tvome, odvratan tko to čini, tko god čini nepravdu.
17 Continue to remember what the Amalek people-group did to your ancestors when they were coming out of Egypt.
Sjećaj se onoga što ti je učinio Amalek dok ste bili na putu pošto ste izišli iz Egipta;
18 They attacked your ancestors as your ancestors were traveling, when they were weak and exhausted. Those people were not afraid of God at all, so they attacked your ancestors from the rear and killed all those who were unable to walk as fast as the others.
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, when Yahweh our God has given you the land [that he promised to give you], and when he has enabled you to rest from [fighting] all your enemies around you, kill all the Amalek people-group, with the result that no one will remember them any more. Do not forget [to do this]!”
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!
