Exodus 22
1 If a man steals an ox or a sheep and kills it or sells it, then he must pay five oxen for one ox, and four sheep for one sheep.
“Tko ukrade goveče ili marvinče od sitne stoke, pa bilo da ga zakolje, bilo da ga proda, onda za jedno goveče neka se vrati petero goveda, a za malo marvinče četvero marvinčadi.
2 If a thief is found breaking in, and if he is struck so that he dies, in that case no guilt for murder will attach to anyone on his account.
Ako se lopov zateče gdje probija zid, pa mu se zada smrtan udarac, njegovu krv ne treba osvećivati.
3 But if the sun has risen before he breaks in, guilt for murder will attach to the person who kills him. A thief must make restitution. If he has nothing, then he must be sold for his theft.
No ako je već izišlo sunce, njegovu krv treba osvetiti. Lopov mora štetu nadoknaditi. Ako nema ništa, njega za njegovu krađu treba prodati.
4 If the stolen animal is found alive in his possession, whether it is an ox, a donkey, or a sheep, he must pay back double.
Nađe li se ukradeno živinče živo u njegovu vlasništvu - goveče, magare ili koja glava sitne stoke - treba da ga plati dvostruko.”
5 If a man grazes his livestock in a field or vineyard and lets his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field, he must make restitution from the best of his own field and from the best of his own vineyard.
“Tko opustoši njivu ili vinograd pustivši svoju stoku da obrsti tuđe, neka nadoknadi onim što najbolje nađe na svojoj njivi i u svome vinogradu.
6 If a fire breaks out and spreads in thorns so that stacked grain, or standing grain, or a field is consumed, the one who started the fire must surely make restitution.
Tko zapali vatru pa ona zahvati drač te izgori žito u snopu, u klasu ili na njivi, onaj tko je vatru zapalio mora štetu nadoknaditi.
7 If a man gives money or goods to his neighbor for safe keeping, and if it is stolen out of the man's house, if the thief is found, that thief must pay double.
Kad tko položi kod znanca novac ili stvari na čuvanje, pa budu pokradene iz njegove kuće, ako se lopov pronađe, mora dvostruko platiti.
8 But if the thief is not found, then the owner of the house must come before the judges to see whether he has put his own hand on his neighbor's property.
Ako se lopov ne pronađe, vlasnik kuće neka se primakne k Bogu, da se dokaže kako on nije spustio svoje ruke na dobra svoga bližnjega.
9 For every dispute about something, whether it is an ox, a donkey, a sheep, clothing, or any other missing thing about which one says, “This belongs to me,” the claim of both parties must come before the judges. The man whom the judges find guilty must pay double to his neighbor.
Za svaki prekršaj pronevjere - radilo se o govečetu, magaretu, sitnoj stoci, odjeći ili bilo kojoj izgubljenoj stvari za koju se ustvrdi: to je ono! - treba spor iznijeti pred Boga. Onaj koga Bog proglasi krivim neka plati dvostruko drugome.
10 If a man gives his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and if it dies or is hurt or is carried away without anyone seeing it,
Kad tko povjeri svome susjedu magare, goveče, glavu sitne stoke ili bilo kakvo živinče, pa ono ugine, osakati se ili ga tko odvede a da ne bude svjedoka,
11 an oath to Yahweh must be taken by them both, as to whether or not one person has put his hand on his neighbor's property. The owner must accept this, and the other will make no restitution.
zakletva pred Jahvom neka odluči među obojicom je li čuvar posegao za dobrom svoga bližnjega ili nije. Neka je vlasniku to dovoljno, a čuvar nije dužan da nadoknađuje.
12 But if it was stolen from him, the other must make restitution to the owner for it.
Nađe li se da je on ukrao, mora štetu nadoknaditi.
13 If an animal was torn in pieces, let the other man bring the animal as evidence. He will not have to pay for what was torn.
Ako ga zvijer razdere, neka ga donese za dokaz, tako da za razderano ne daje odštete.
14 If a man borrows any animal from his neighbor and the animal is injured or dies without the owner being with it, the other man must surely make restitution.
Kad tko posudi živinu na izor od svoga susjeda, pa se ona osakati ili ugine dok joj vlasnik nije bio s njom, neka plati odštetu.
15 But if the owner was with it, the other man will not have to pay; if the animal was hired, it will be paid for by its hiring fee.
Je li vlasnik bio s njom, odštete mu ne daje; ali ako je bila unajmljena na izor, neka dođe po svoju nadnicu.”
16 If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged, and if he sleeps with her, he must surely make her his wife by paying the bride wealth required for this.
“Ako tko zavede djevojku koja nije zaručena i s njom legne, neka za nju dadne ženidbenu procjenu i uzme je za ženu.
17 If her father completely refuses to give her to him, he must pay money equal to the bride wealth of virgins.
Ako njezin otac odbije da mu je dadne, zavodnik mora odmjeriti srebra u vrijednosti ženidbene procjene za djevojku.
18 You must not allow a sorceress to live.
Ne dopuštaj da vračarica živi!
19 Whoever sleeps with a beast must surely be put to death.
Tko bi god sa živinom legao, treba ga kazniti smrću.
20 Whoever sacrifices to any god except to Yahweh must be completely destroyed.
Tko bi prinosio žrtve kojemu kumiru - osim Jahvi jedinom - neka bude izručen prokletstvu, potpuno uništen.
21 You must not wrong a foreigner or oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Ne tlači pridošlicu niti mu nanosi nepravde, jer ste i sami bili pridošlice u zemlji egipatskoj.
22 You must not mistreat any widow or fatherless child.
Ne cvilite udovice i siročeta!
23 If you afflict them at all, and if they call out to me, I will surely hear their call.
Ako ih ucviliš i oni zavape k meni, sigurno ću njihove vapaje uslišati.
24 My anger will burn, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows, and your children will become fatherless.
Moj će se gnjev raspaliti i mačem ću vas pogubiti. Tako će vam žene ostati udovice a djeca siročad.
25 If you lend money to any of my people among you who are poor, you must not be like a moneylender to him or charge him interest.
Ako uzajmiš novca kome od moga naroda, siromahu koji je kod tebe, ne postupaj prema njemu kao lihvar! Ne nameći mu kamata!
26 If you take your neighbor's garment in pledge, you must return it to him before the sun goes down,
Uzmeš li svome susjedu ogrtač u zalog, moraš mu ga vratiti prije zalaza sunca.
27 for that is his only covering; it is his garment for his body. What else can he sleep in? When he calls out to me, I will hear him, for I am compassionate.
TÓa to mu je jedini pokrivač kojim omata svoje tijelo i u kojem može leći. Ako k meni zavapi, uslišat ću ga jer sam ja milostiv!
28 You must not blaspheme me, God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
Ne huli Boga i ne psuj glavara svoga naroda.
29 You must not hold back offerings from your harvest or your winepresses. You must give to me the firstborn of your sons.
Ne oklijevaj s prinosima od svoga obilja s gumna i od svoga mladog vina! Meni daj prvorođenca od svojih sinova.
30 You must also do the same with your oxen and your sheep. For seven days they may remain with their mothers, but on the eighth day you must give them to me.
Isto učini sa svojim govedima i sitnom stokom: sedam dana neka ostane sa svojom majkom, a osmoga dana da si ga meni dao!
31 You will be people that are set apart for me. So you must not eat any meat that was torn by animals in the field. Instead, you must throw it to the dogs.
Budite narod meni posvećen! Zato nemojte jesti mesa od životinje koju je rastrgala zvjerad nego je bacite paščadi!”
