< Piektā Mozus 17 >
1 Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, tev nebūs upurēt nedz vērsi nedz avi, kam kāda vaina jeb kaite, jo Tam Kungam, tavam Dievam, tā ir negantība.
No ox or sheep which has a mark on it or is damaged in any way may be offered to the Lord your God: for that is disgusting to the Lord your God.
2 Kad tavā vidū, kādos vārtos, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos, atrastos vīrs vai sieva, kas ļaunu dara Tā Kunga, tava Dieva, priekšā, un pārkāpj Viņa derību,
If there is any man or woman among you, in any of the towns which the Lord your God gives you, who does evil in the eyes of the Lord your God, sinning against his agreement,
3 Un iet un kalpo citiem dieviem un tos pielūdz, vai sauli, vai mēnesi, vai visu debess pulku, ko es neesmu pavēlējis,
By becoming a servant of other gods and worshipping them or the sun or the moon or all the stars of heaven, against my orders;
4 Un tas tev top sacīts, un tu to dzirdi, tad tev to būs labi izvaicāt, un redzi, ja tas ir tiesa, un tiešām šī negantība iekš Israēla ir darīta,
If word of this comes to your ears, then let this thing be looked into with care, and if there is no doubt that it is true, and such evil has been done in Israel;
5 Tad tev būs izvest šo vīru, vai šo sievu, kas šo grēku darījuši, pie saviem vārtiem, to vīru, vai to sievu, un tos akmeņiem nomētāt, lai mirst.
Then you are to take the man or woman who has done the evil to the public place of your town, and they are to be stoned with stones till they are dead.
6 Uz divu vai treju liecinieku vārda tam būs tapt nokautam, kam jāmirst; uz viena liecinieka vārda tam nebūs mirt.
On the word of two or three witnesses, a man may be given the punishment of death; but he is not to be put to death on the word of one witness.
7 Liecinieku roka lai ir tā pirmā pret viņu, to nonāvēt un pēc tam visu ļaužu roka; tā tev būs izdeldēt to ļaunumu no sava vidus.
The hands of the witnesses will be the first to put him to death, and after them the hands of all the people. So you are to put away the evil from among you.
8 Kad kāda lieta tev pavisam grūti izspriest starp asinīm un asinīm, starp sūdzību un sūdzību, starp vainu un vainu, tiesas lietas tavos vārtos, tad celies un ej uz to vietu, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, izredzēs.
If you are not able to give a decision as to who is responsible for a death, or who is right in a cause, or who gave the first blow in a fight, and there is a division of opinion about it in your town: then go to the place marked out by the Lord your God;
9 Un tev būs nākt pie tiem priesteriem, tiem Levitiem, un pie tā soģa, kas to brīdi tur būs, un tev būs vaicāt, - tad viņi tev sludinās tiesas spriedumu.
And come before the priests, the Levites, or before him who is judge at the time: and they will go into the question and give you a decision:
10 Un tev būs darīt pēc tā vārda, ko viņi tev sacīs tai vietā, ko Tas Kungs izredzēs, un tev būs vērā ņemt un darīt visu, ko tie tev mācīs.
And you are to be guided by the decision they give in the place named by the Lord, and do whatever they say:
11 Pēc tās bauslības, ko tie tev mācīs un pēc tās tiesas, ko tie tev sacīs, tev būs darīt; tev nebūs atkāpties no tā vārda, ko tie tev sacīs, ne pa labo ne pa kreiso roku.
Acting in agreement with their teaching and the decision they give: not turning to one side or the other from the word they have given you.
12 Ja kas laban turēsies pārgalvīgi, neklausīdams tam priesterim, kas tur stāv Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, kalpodams, vai tam soģim, tam būs mirt, un tev būs izdeldēt to ļaunumu no Israēla,
And any man who, in his pride, will not give ear to the priest whose place is there before the Lord your God, or to the judge, is to be put to death: you are to put away the evil from Israel.
13 Lai visi ļaudis to dzird un bīstas, un vairs neturās pārgalvīgi.
And all the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear and put away their pride.
14 Kad tu nāksi tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos, un to iemantosi un tur dzīvosi un sacīsi: es pār sevi iecelšu ķēniņu, kā visas apkārtējās tautas,
When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and have taken it for a heritage and are living in it, if it is your desire to have a king over you, like the other nations round about you;
15 Tad iecel sev par ķēniņu to, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, izredzēs; no savu brāļu vidus tev būs sev iecelt ķēniņu, tu nevari pār sevi celt svešu vīru, kas nav tavs brālis.
Then see that you take as your king the man named by the Lord your God: let your king be one of your countrymen, not a man of another nation who is not one of yourselves.
16 Bet viņam nebūs turēt pulka zirgu, nedz tos ļaudis atpakaļ vest uz Ēģiptes zemi, lai dabūtu pulka zirgu, jo Tas Kungs jums ir sacījis: tev nebūs atpakaļ griezties pa šo ceļu.
And he is not to get together a great army of horses for himself, or make the people go back to Egypt to get horses for him: because the Lord has said, You will never again go back that way.
17 Tam arī nebūs apņemt daudz sievu, ka viņa sirds neatkāpjas; tam arī nebūs sev sakrāt ļoti daudz sudraba un zelta.
And he is not to have a great number of wives, for fear that his heart may be turned away; or great wealth of silver and gold.
18 Un kad viņš nu sēdēs uz sava valstības krēsla, tad lai viņš no tiem priesteriem un Levitiem sev grāmatā raksta šīs bauslības norakstu.
And when he has taken his place on the seat of his kingdom, he is to make in a book a copy of this law, from that which the priests, the Levites, have in their care:
19 Un tas lai pie viņa stāv, un lai viņš tanī lasa visu savu mūžu, ka viņš mācās bīties To Kungu, savu Dievu, un turēt visus šās bauslības vārdus un visus šos likumus, ka viņš tos dara.
And it is to be with him for his reading all the days of his life, so that he may be trained in the fear of the Lord his God to keep and do all the words of this teaching and these laws:
20 Ka viņa sirds nepaceļas pār saviem brāļiem, un ka viņš neatkāpjas no likuma ne pa labo, ne pa kreiso roku, lai viņš ilgi paliek savā valstībā, viņš un viņa dēli Israēla vidū.
So that his heart may not be lifted up over his countrymen, and he may not be turned away from the orders, to one side or the other: but that his life and the lives of his children may be long in his kingdom in Israel.
