Deuteronomy 17
1 You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God an ox or a sheep in which is a defect or anything evil; for that is an abomination to the LORD your God.
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 If there is found amongst you, within any of your gates which the LORD your God gives you, a man or woman who does that which is evil in the LORD your God’s sight in transgressing his covenant,
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 and has gone and served other gods and worshipped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the stars of the sky, which I have not commanded,
И отиде те служи другим боговима и клања им се, или сунцу или месецу или чему год из војске небеске, што нисам заповедио,
4 and you are told, and you have heard of it, then you shall enquire diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done 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 then you shall bring out that man or that woman who has done this evil thing to your gates, even that same man or woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.
Изведи оног човека или ону жену, који учинише оно зло, на врата своја, човека оног или жену, и заспи их камењем да погину.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death. At the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
На сведочанство два или три човека да се погуби онај кога ваља погубити; али на сведочанство једног човека да се не погуби.
7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So you shall remove the evil from amongst you.
Сведоци нека први дигну руке на њ да га убију; а потом сав народ; тако извади зло из себе.
8 If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgement, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates, then you shall arise, and go up to the place which the LORD your God chooses.
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 You shall come to the priests who are Levites and to the judge who shall be in those days. You shall enquire, and they shall give you the verdict.
И отиди к свештеницима Левитима или к судији који онда буде, па их упитај, и они ће ти казати како ваља пресудити.
10 You shall do according to the decisions of the verdict which they shall give you from that place which the LORD chooses. You shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you.
И учини онако како ти кажу у месту које изабере Господ, и гледај да учиниш сасвим онако како те науче.
11 According to the decisions of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgement which they shall tell you, you shall do. You shall not turn away from the sentence which they announce to you, to the right hand, nor to the left.
По закону коме те науче, и по пресуди, коју ти кажу, учини; не одступи од оног што ти кажу ни надесно ни налево.
12 The man who does presumptuously in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die. You shall put away the evil from Israel.
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 All the people shall hear and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
Да сав народ чује и боји се, и унапред, да не ради упорно.
14 When you have come to the land which the LORD your God gives you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, “I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me,”
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 you shall surely set him whom the LORD your God chooses as king over yourselves. You shall set as king over you one from amongst your brothers. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
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 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because the LORD has said to you, “You shall not go back that way again.”
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 He shall not multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away. He shall not greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
И да нема много жена, да се не би отпадило срце његово, ни сребра ни злата да нема врло много.
18 It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write himself a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the Levitical priests.
А кад седе на престо царства свог, нека препише себи у књигу овај закон од свештеника Левита;
19 It shall be with him, and he shall read from it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
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 that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn away from the commandment to the right hand, or to the left, to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the middle of Israel.
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.
