< Deuteronomy 17 >
1 You must not sacrifice to Yahweh your God an ox or a sheep in which is any blemish or anything bad, for that would be an abomination to Yahweh your God.
Да не пожреши Господеви Богу твоему телца или овчате, на немже есть порок, всяк глагол зол: яко мерзость Господеви Богу твоему есть.
2 If there is found among you, within any of your city gates that Yahweh your God is giving you, any man or woman who does what is evil in the sight of Yahweh your God and transgresses his covenant,
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 anyone who has gone and worshiped other gods and bowed down to them, either the sun, the moon, or any of the host of heaven—nothing that I have commanded—
и шедше послужат богом иным и поклонятся им, солнцу, или луне, или всякому яже от красоты небесныя, ихже не повелех тебе:
4 and if you are told about this, or if you have heard of it, then you must make a careful investigation. If it is true and certain that such an abomination has been done in Israel, this is what you should do.
и возвестится тебе, и взыщеши зело, и се, истинно бысть слово, мерзость сотворися сия во Израили:
5 You must bring that man or woman, who has done this evil thing, to your city gates, that very man or woman, and you must stone that person to death.
да изведеши человека того, или жену ту, иже сотвориша дело злое сие, пред двери, и побиете их камением, и да умрут.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, will he who must die be put to death; but at the mouth of only one witness he must not be put to death.
При двою свидетелех или при трех да умрет: умираяй да не умрет при единем свидетели:
7 The hand of the witnesses must be the first to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people; and you will remove the evil from 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 If a matter arises that is too hard for you to judge—perhaps a question of murder or accidental death, of one person's right and another person's right, or a question of one kind of harm done, or another kind of matter, matters of controversy within your city gates—then you must go up to the place that Yahweh your God will choose as his sanctuary.
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 You must go to the priests, the descendants of Levi, and to the judge who will be serving at that time; you will seek their advice, and they will give you the verdict.
и приидеши к жерцем левитом, и к судии, иже будет в тыя дни, и взыскавше возвестят тебе суд:
10 You must follow the law given to you at the place Yahweh will choose as his sanctuary. You will be careful to do everything that they direct 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 Follow the law they teach you, and do according to the decisions they give you. Do not turn aside from what they tell you, to the right hand or to the left.
по закону и по суду, егоже рекут тебе, сотвориши, да не уклонишися от словесе, еже известят тебе, ни на десно, ни на лево.
12 Anyone who acts arrogantly, in not listening to the priest who is standing to serve before Yahweh your God, or in not listening to the judge—that man will die; you will put away the evil from Israel.
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 All the people must hear and fear, and act arrogantly no more.
и вси людие услышавше убоятся, и не будут нечествовати ктому.
14 When you have come to the land that Yahweh your God gives you, and when you take possession of it and begin to live in it, and then you say, 'I will set a king over myself, like all the nations that are round about me,'
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 then you must surely set as king over yourself someone whom Yahweh your God will choose. You must set as king over yourself someone from among your brothers. You may not put a foreigner, who is not your brother, over yourself.
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 But he must not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt so that he may multiply horses, for Yahweh had said to you, 'You will never return that way again.'
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 He must not take many wives for himself, so that his heart does not turn away. He must not accumulate large amounts 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 sits on the throne of his kingdom, he must write for himself in a scroll a copy of this law, from the law that is before the priests, who are Levites.
И будет егда сядет на престоле власти своея, да напишет себе второзаконие сие в книзе от жерцев левитов,
19 The scroll must be with him, and he must read in it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to honor Yahweh his God, so as to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to observe them.
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 He must do this so that his heart is not lifted up above his brothers, and so that he does not turn away from the commandments, to the right hand or to the left; for the purpose that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, among Israel.
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.
