Piektā Mozus 12
1 Šie ir tie likumi un tās tiesas, ko jums būs turēt un darīt tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavu tēvu Dievs, tev devis iemantot, kamēr jūs dzīvojat tai zemē.
“(I will now tell you again/These, [again], are) the rules and regulations that you must faithfully obey in the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to you to occupy. You must obey these laws all the time that you are alive.
2 Izpostiet pilnīgi visas tās vietas, kur tie pagāni, ko jūs uzvarēsiet, kalpojuši saviem dieviem, uz augstiem kalniem un uz pakalniem un apakš zaļiem kokiem.
You must destroy all the places where the people-groups that you will expel worship their gods, on the tops of mountains and hills and under big green trees.
3 Un viņu altārus jums būs apgāzt un viņu stabus salauzt un viņu elka kokus ar uguni sadedzināt un viņu dievu tēlus nocirst, un viņu vārdus izdeldēt no tās vietas.
You must tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars. Completely burn the statues of their goddess Asherah in fires, and chop down their wooden idols, in order that no one will ever worship them [MTY] in those places again.
4 Tā jūs nedariet Tam Kungam, savam Dievam.
“Do not worship Yahweh like [the people in Canaan worship their gods].
5 Bet to vietu, ko Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, izredzēs no visām jūsu ciltīm, tur iecelt Savu vārdu, Viņa mājas vietu, to jums būs meklēt, un uz turieni tev būs iet.
Instead, you must go to the place that Yahweh will choose. It will be in the area where one of your tribes will live. That is where you must go to worship Yahweh.
6 Un tur jums būs novest savus dedzināmos upurus un savus kaujamos upurus un savus desmitos un savas rokas cilājamos upurus un savus solījumus un savas labprātības dāvanas un savu lielo un sīko lopu pirmdzimtos.
That is the place where you must bring your sacrifices that will be completely burned on the altar, and your other sacrifices, (your tithes/ten percent of all of your crops), other offerings that you decide to give, and the firstborn animals from your cattle and sheep.
7 Un tur jums un jūsu namiem Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, priekšā būs ēst un priecāties par visu, ko jūsu rokas atnes, ar ko Tas Kungs tavs Dievs, tevi svētījis.
There, in the presence of Yahweh our God, who has [greatly] blessed you, you and your families will eat the good things that you have worked to produce, and you will be happy.
8 Nedariet, kā mēs šeit šodien darām, ikviens, kā tam šķiet pareizi esam.
“[When you are in that land], you must not do some of the things that we have been doing. Until now, you have all been worshiping [Yahweh] the way you wanted to,
9 Jo jūs līdz šim neesat nākuši pie dusas, nedz pie tās mantības, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos.
because you have not yet arrived in the land which Yahweh is giving to you, where you will be able to live peacefully.
10 Bet jūs iesiet pāri pār Jardāni un dzīvosiet tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, jums liks iemantot, un Viņš jums dos dusu no visiem jūsu ienaidniekiem visapkārt, un jūs dzīvosiet mierā.
But when you cross the Jordan [River], you will start to live in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you. He will protect you from all your enemies that will surround you, and you will live peacefully/safely.
11 Kad nu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, izredzēs vietu, tur iecelt Savu vārdu, uz turieni jums būs nest visu, ko es jums pavēlu, savus dedzināmos upurus un savus kaujamos upurus, savus desmitos un savas rokas cilājamos upurus, un visus savus izredzētos solījumus, ko jūs Tam Kungam esat solījuši.
“Yahweh will choose one place where he wants you to worship him. That is the place to which you must bring all the offerings that I command you to bring: The sacrifices that must be completely burned [on the altar], your other sacrifices, other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, (your tithes/ten percent of all your crops), and all the special offerings that you will solemnly promise to give to Yahweh.
12 Un jums būs priecāties Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, priekšā, jums un jūsu dēliem un jūsu meitām un jūsu kalpiem un jūsu kalponēm un tam Levitam, kas ir jūsu vārtos, jo tam nav daļas nedz mantības līdz ar jums.
Rejoice there in the presence of Yahweh, along with your children, your male and female servants, and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns. Do not forget that the descendants of Levi will not have their own land, like you will have.
13 Sargies, ka tu savus dedzināmos upurus neupurē jebkurā vietā, ko tu ieraugi,
Be sure that you do not offer sacrifices anywhere you want to.
14 Bet tai vietā, ko Tas Kungs izredzēs vienā no tavām ciltīm, tur tev būs upurēt savus dedzināmos upurus, un tur tev visu būs darīt, ko es tev pavēlu.
You must offer them only in the place that Yahweh will choose for you, in an area that belongs to one of your tribes. That is the only place where he wants you to offer sacrifices that will be completely burned [on the altar], and to do the other things that I am commanding you to do [when you worship him].
15 Bet kā vien tavai dvēselei tīk, tu vari kaut un gaļu ēst visos savos vārtos, pēc Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, svētības, ko Viņš tev ir devis, šķīstais un nešķīstais to lai ēd, kā stirnu un briedi.
“However, you will be permitted to kill and eat the meat of your animals in the places where you live. As often as you want to, you may eat the meat of the animals that Yahweh our God will bless you by giving them to you. Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God and those who have not done things like that may all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
16 Tikai asinis jums nebūs ēst; jums tās būs izliet zemē kā ūdeni.
But you must not eat the blood [of any animals]; you must let the blood drain onto the ground [before you cook the meat].
17 Bet savos vārtos tu nevari ēst to desmito no savas labības un sava vīna un savas eļļas, nedz tos pirmdzimtos no saviem lieliem un sīkiem lopiem, nedz savus solījumus, ko tu esi solījis, nedz savas labprātības dāvanas, nedz savas rokas cilājamo upuri.
In the places where you live, you must not eat the things that you are offering [to Yahweh]: You must not eat the (tithes/ten percent) of your grain or of your wine, or of your [olive] oil, or the firstborn of your cattle and sheep, or the offerings that you yourselves decide to give to Yahweh, or any other offerings.
18 Bet to tu ēd Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, priekšā, tai vietā, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, izredzēs, tu un tavs dēls un tava meita un tavs kalps un tava kalpone un tas Levits, kas ir tavos vārtos, un priecājies Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, priekšā par visu, ko tava roka dara.
Instead, you and your children and your male and female servants and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns must go to the place that he has chosen and eat those things there in the presence of Yahweh. And you should rejoice in the presence of Yahweh about everything that you do.
19 Sargies, ka tu to Levitu neatstāji, kamēr tu dzīvo savā zemē.
Be sure that you take care of the descendants of Levi all during the time that you live in your land.
20 Kad Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, izpletīs tavas robežas, kā Viņš tev ir runājis, un tu sacīsi: es ēdīšu gaļu, - tāpēc ka tavai dvēselei gribās gaļu ēst, - tad tu vari gaļu ēst, kā vien tavai dvēselei tīk.
“When Yahweh our God gives you much more land [than you will have when you first occupy it], which is what he has promised to do, and you say ‘I would like some meat to eat’ because you are craving/wanting some meat, you will be permitted to eat meat whenever you want to.
21 Ja tā vieta būs tālu no tevis, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, izredzēs Savu vārdu tur iecelt, tad tu vari kaut no saviem lieliem un sīkiem lopiem, ko Tas Kungs tev ir devis, kā es tev esmu pavēlējis, un vari ēst savos vārtos, kā vien tavai dvēselei tīk.
If the place that Yahweh our God chooses to be the place for you to worship him is far [from where you live], you are permitted to kill some of your cattle or sheep that Yahweh has given to you, and you may eat that meat at the places where you live, just like I have told you to do.
22 Bet tikai kā stirnu un briedi ēd, tā tu to vari ēst; nešķīstais līdz ar šķīsto lai to ēd.
Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God, and those who have not done things like that, are all permitted to all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
23 Noturies tikai, ka tu asinis neēd, jo asinīs ir dvēsele; un dvēseli ar miesu tev nebūs ēst.
But be sure that you do not eat the blood [of any animal], because it is the blood that sustains life in living beings, and so you must not eat the life along with the meat.
24 Tās tev nebūs ēst, bet izliet zemē kā ūdeni.
Do not eat the blood; instead, let it drain onto the ground.
25 Tās tev nebūs ēst, lai labi klājās tev un taviem bērniem pēc tevis, ja tu darīsi, kas ir pareizi priekš Tā Kunga acīm.
If you obey this command and do what Yahweh says is right [for you to do], things will go well for you and for your descendants.
26 Bet savas svētās dāvanas, kas tev būs, un savus solījumus tev būs ņemt un tai vietā noiet, ko Tas Kungs izredzēs.
“But the sacred offerings that Yahweh has told you to give and the other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, you must take to the place that Yahweh will choose.
27 Un savus dedzināmos upurus, gaļu un asinis tev būs sataisīt uz Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, altāra, un izliet savu upuru asinis uz Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, altāri, bet to gaļu tev būs ēst.
You must offer there the sacrifices that will be completely burned [on Yahweh’s altar]. You must also offer there the sacrifices from which you may eat some of meat after you [kill the animals and] drain out the blood and some of it is thrown on the [sides of the] altar.
28 Ņem vērā un klausi visus šos vārdus, ko es tev pavēlu, lai labi klājās tev un taviem bērniem pēc tevis mūžīgi, ja tu darīsi, kas ir labi un pareizi priekš Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, acīm. -
Faithfully obey all these things that I have commanded you. If you do that, things will go well forever for you and your descendants, because you will be doing what Yahweh our God says is right [for you to do] and what pleases him.
29 Kad Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tavā priekšā izdeldēs tos pagānus, ko tu ej iemantot, un tu tos būsi iemantojis un dzīvosi viņu zemē,
“When you enter the land that you will occupy, as you advance, Yahweh our God will get rid of the people-groups that live there.
30 Sargies, ka tu netopi savaldzināts, viņiem dzīties pakaļ, kad tie tavā priekšā ir izdeldēti, un ka tu nevaicā pēc viņu dieviem sacīdams: tā kā šie ļaudis kalpojuši saviem dieviem, tāpat es arīdzan darīšu.
After he does that, be sure that you do not [worship the gods] that they have been worshiping, because if you do that, you will be caught in the same trap [that they were caught in] [MET]. Do not ask anyone about those gods, saying, ‘Tell me how they worshiped their gods, in order that I can [worship them] also.’
31 Tev tā nebūs darīt Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, jo viss, kas Tam Kungam ir negantība, ko Viņš ienīst, to tie saviem dieviem ir darījuši, jo tie arī savus dēlus un savas meitas ar uguni ir sadedzinājuši saviem dieviem.
Do not try to worship Yahweh our God like they have worshiped their gods, because when they worship them, they do disgusting things, things that Yahweh hates. [The worst thing that they do is] that they sacrifice their own children and burn them [on their altars].
32 Visus tos vārdus, ko es jums pavēlu, jums būs turēt, ka jūs tā dariet; tev pie tiem nebūs neko pielikt, neko atraut.
“Be sure to do everything that I have commanded you to do. Do not add anything to these commands, and do not take anything away from them.”
