< Exodus 21 >

1 “Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them:
“Ovo su propisi koje treba da im izložiš:
2 “If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.
Kad za roba kupiš jednoga Hebreja, neka služi šest godina. Sedme godine neka ode, bez otkupnine, slobodan.
3 If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out with him.
Ako dođe sam, neka sam i ode; ako li je oženjen, neka s njim ide i njegova žena.
4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself.
Ako mu gospodar nabavi ženu, pa mu ona rodi bilo sinova bilo kćeri, i žena i njezina djeca neka pripadnu njezinu gospodaru, a on neka ide sam.
5 But if the servant shall plainly say, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;’
Ali ako rob otvoreno izjavi: 'Volim svoga gospodara, svoju ženu i svoju djecu, neću da budem slobodan',
6 then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.
neka ga onda njegov gospodar dovede k Bogu. Kad ga dovede k vratima ili dovratku, neka mu gospodar šilom probuši uho i neka mu trajno ostane u službi.
7 “If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.
Kad čovjek proda svoju kćer za ropkinju, neka se ona ne oslobađa kao i muški robovi.
8 If she doesn’t please her master, who has married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.
Ako se ne svidi svome gospodaru, koji ju je sebi bio odredio, neka joj dopusti da se otkupi. Nema prava prodati je strancima kad joj nije bio vjeran.
9 If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her as a daughter.
A ako je odredi svome sinu, neka s njome postupa kao i sa kćeri.
10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.
Ako se oženi drugom, ne smije prvoj uskraćivati hrane, odjeće ili njezinih bračnih prava.
11 If he doesn’t do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.
Ne bude li joj činio ovo troje, neka je slobodna da ode bez otkupnine.”
12 “One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,
“Tko god udari čovjeka pa ga usmrti, neka se smrću kazni.
13 but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
Ali ako to ne učini hotimično, nego Bog pripusti da padne u njegovu šaku, odredit ću ti mjesto kamo može pobjeći.
14 If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
Tko hotimično navali na svoga bližnjega te ga podmuklo ubije, odvuci ga i s moga žrtvenika da se pogubi.
15 “Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.
Tko udari svoga oca ili svoju majku, neka se kazni smrću.
16 “Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
Tko otme čovjeka - bilo da ga proda, bilo da ga u svojoj vlasti zadrži - neka se kazni smrću.
17 “Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
Tko prokune svoga oca ili svoju majku, neka se kazni smrću.”
18 “If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn’t die, but is confined to bed;
“Ako se ljudi posvade, pa jedan od njih udari drugoga kamenom ili šakom, ali ovaj ne pogine nego padne u postelju,
19 if he rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed.
ali poslije ustane i mogne izlaziti, makar i sa štapom, onda onome koji ga je udario neka je oprošteno, samo neka mu plati njegov gubitak vremena i pribavi mu posvemašnje izlječenje.
20 “If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, the man shall surely be punished.
Ako tko udari batinom svoga roba ili svoju ropkinju te umru pod njegovom šakom, mora snositi osvetu.
21 Notwithstanding, if his servant gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for the servant is his property.
Ali ako rob preživi dan-dva, neka se osveta ne provodi, jer je rob njegovo vlasništvo.
22 “If men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that she gives birth prematurely, and yet no harm follows, he shall be surely fined as much as the woman’s husband demands and the judges allow.
Ako se ljudi pobiju i udare trudnu ženu te ona pobaci, ali druge štete ne bude, onda onaj koji ju je udario neka plati odštetu koju zatraži njezin muž. On neka plati kako suci odrede.
23 But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life,
Bude li drugog zla, neka je kazna: život za život,
24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
oko za oko, zub za zub, ruka za ruku, noga za nogu,
25 burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.
opeklina za opeklinu, rana za ranu, modrica za modricu.
26 “If a man strikes his servant’s eye, or his maid’s eye, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.
Udari li tko svoga roba ili svoju ropkinju u oko i upropasti ga, neka ga oslobodi zbog oka.
27 If he strikes out his male servant’s tooth, or his female servant’s tooth, he shall let the servant go free for his tooth’s sake.
Ako izbije zub svome robu - ili svojoj ropkinji - neka ga oslobodi zbog zuba.”
28 “If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its meat shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.
“Kad goveče ubode čovjeka ili ženu pa ih usmrti, neka se kamenjem kamenuje. Njegovo se meso tada ne smije pojesti, a vlasniku njegovu neka je oprošteno.
29 But if the bull had a habit of goring in the past, and this has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in, but it has killed a man or a woman, the bull shall be stoned, and its owner shall also be put to death.
Ali ako je to goveče i prije bolo, a njegov vlasnik, iako opominjan, nije ga čuvao, pa ono usmrti čovjeka ili ženu, neka se to goveče kamenuje; a i njegov se vlasnik ima pogubiti.
30 If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed.
Ako se vlasniku označi otkupna cijena da svoj život iskupi, neka plati koliko mu se odredi.
31 Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
Ubode li goveče dječaka ili djevojčicu, neka se prema njemu postupi isto prema ovome pravilu.
32 If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.
Ako ubode roba ili ropkinju, neka vlasnik isplati njihovu gospodaru trideset srebrnih šekela, a goveče neka se kamenuje.
33 “If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn’t cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,
Kad tko ostavi bunar otvoren, ili tko iskopa bunar a ne pokrije ga, pa u nj upadne goveče ili magare, vlasnik bunara ima dati naknadu:
34 the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.
neka isplati vlasniku u novcu, a uginula životinja neka njemu pripadne.
35 “If one man’s bull injures another’s, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live bull, and divide its price; and they shall also divide the dead animal.
Kad nečije goveče ubode goveče drugome te ono ugine, onda neka prodaju živo goveče, a dobiveni novac neka podijele; i uginulo goveče neka među sebe podijele.
36 Or if it is known that the bull was in the habit of goring in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely pay bull for bull, and the dead animal shall be his own.
Ali ako se zna da je to goveče i prije bolo, a njegov ga gospodar nije čuvao, onda mora nadoknaditi goveče za goveče, dok će uginulo živinče biti njegovo.”
