Piektā Mozus 21
1 Kad atrod kādu nokautu tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos iemantot, un tas guļ uz lauka, un neviens nezin, kas to nokāvis,
“Suppose someone has been murdered in a field in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you do not know who killed that person.
2 Tad taviem vecajiem un taviem soģiem būs iziet ārā un mērot līdz tām pilsētām, kas ir ap to nokauto.
[If that happens], your elders and judges must go out to where that person’s corpse was found and measure the distance from there to each of the nearby towns.
3 Kura pilsēta nu tam nokautam tā tuvākā, tās pilsētas vecaji lai ņem no liellopiem teli, ar ko vēl nav strādāts, kas nekādu jūgu vēl nav vilkusi.
Then the elders in the town that is closest to where the corpse was found must select a young cow that has never been used for doing work.
4 Un tās pilsētas vecajiem būs novest to teli tekošas upes ielejā, kur netop ne strādāts, ne sēts, un tiem tur upes ielejā tai telei būs lauzt kaklu.
They must take it to a place near a stream where the ground has never been plowed or planted. They must break its neck there in that valley.
5 Tad priesteriem, Levja bērniem, būs pieiet, jo Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tos ir izredzējis, Viņam kalpot un svētīt Tā Kunga Vārdā, un lai pēc viņu vārdiem ikviena ķilda un ikviena vaina top izlīdzināta.
The priests must go there also, because Yahweh our God has chosen them from the tribe of Levi to serve him and to be his representatives [MTY] when they bless people. And he has also chosen them to settle disputes in which someone has been injured.
6 Un visiem šīs pilsētas vecajiem, kas tam nokautam ir tie tuvākie, būs mazgāt savas rokas pār to teli, kam kakls lauzts upes ielejā.
The elders from the closest town must wash their hands over the young cow whose neck was broken,
7 Un tiem būs dot liecību un sacīt: mūsu rokas nav izlējušas šās asinis un mūsu acis nav redzējušas.
and they must say, ‘We did not murder this person [MTY], and we did not see who did it.
8 Piedod Saviem Israēla ļaudīm, ko Tu, Kungs, esi atpestījis, un nepielīdzini nenoziedzīgas asinis Saviem Israēla ļaudīm - tad tie būs salīdzināti par šīm asinīm.
Yahweh, forgive us, your Israeli people whom you rescued [from Egypt]. Do not consider (us to be guilty/that we should be punished because) of murdering someone who (is innocent/had not done something that is wrong). Instead, forgive us.’
9 Tā Tu izdeldēsi tās nenoziedzīgās asinis no Sava vidus, darīdams, kas ir tiesa Tā Kunga acīs. -
By doing that, you will be doing what Yahweh considers to be right, and you will not be considered to be guilty for murdering that person.”
10 Kad tu iesi karā pret saviem ienaidniekiem, un Tas Kungs viņus nodos tavā rokā, ka tu gūstītus no viņiem pārvedi cietumā,
“When you [soldiers] go to fight against your enemies, and Yahweh our God enables you to defeat them [IDM], and (they become your prisoners/you capture them),
11 Un tu redzēsi starp tiem gūstītiem skaistu sievu, un tu viņas iegribies un to ņem sev par sievu,
one of you may see among them a beautiful woman that he likes, and he may want to marry her.
12 Tad tev to būs vest savā namā un lai viņa savu galvu apcērp un savus nagus apgraiza,
He should take her to his home, and there she must shave [all the hair off] her head and cut her fingernails [to signify that now she does not belong to her people-group any more, but instead she is becoming an Israeli].
13 Un noliek savas cietuma drēbes un sēž tavā namā un apraud savu tēvu un savu māti vienu mēnesi un pēc tam ej pie viņas un esi viņai par vīru, un viņa lai ir tev par sievu.
She must take off the clothes that she was wearing when she was captured, [and put on Israeli clothes]. She must stay in that man’s house and mourn for a month because of [leaving] her parents. After that, he will be allowed to marry her.
14 Un ja viņa tev nepatīk, tad atlaid viņu, kur viņa grib, bet par naudu tev to nebūs pārdot, nedz turēt verdzībā, tāpēc ka tu to esi pazemojis.
Later, if he no longer is pleased with her, he will be permitted to allow her to leave him. But because she was forced to have sex with him, he will not be allowed to treat her like a slave [and sell her to someone else].”
15 Kad kādam vīram ir divas sievas, viena mīlēta un otra neieredzēta, un tā mīlētā kā tā neieredzētā dzemdē viņam dēlus, un tas pirmdzimtais ir no tās neieredzētās, -
“Suppose that a man has two wives, but he likes one of them and dislikes the other one. And suppose that they both give birth to sons, and the oldest son is the child of the woman that he does not like.
16 Un kad viņš saviem dēliem savu mantu dalīs, tad tās mīlētās dēlu viņš nevar uzņemt par pirmdzimto, tās neieredzētās dēla vietā, kas tas pirmdzimtais.
On the day when that man decides how he will divide his possessions for his sons to possess [after he dies], he must not favor the son of the wife that he loves by giving him [a bigger share, ] the share that the older son should receive.
17 Bet viņam būs atzīt tās neieredzētās dēlu par pirmdzimto, un tam dot divkārtīgu tiesu no visa, kas tam ir; jo tas ir viņa spēka pirmdzimtais, - tam pieder pirmdzimtības tiesa. -
He must give to the older son, the son of the wife whom he does not like, twice as much of his possessions. That son is his firstborn son, and he must be given the share that he should receive because of his being that man’s firstborn son.”
18 Kad kādam vīram ir stūrgalvīgs un neklausīgs dēls, kas neklausa sava tēva un savas mātes balsij, un tie viņu ir pārmācījuši, un viņš tomēr tiem neklausa,
“Suppose there is a boy who is very stubborn and always (rebelling against/disobeying) [his parents], and who will not heed what they say to him. And suppose that they punish him but he still does not pay attention to what they tell him [MTY].
19 Tad viņa tēvam un mātei to būs sagrābt un izvest pie savas pilsētas vecajiem un pie savas pilsētas vārtiem,
If that happens, his parents must take him to the (gate of/central meeting place in) the city where he lives and have him stand in front of the elders of the city.
20 Un tiem būs sacīt uz savas pilsētas vecajiem: šis mūsu dēls ir stūrgalvīgs un neklausīgs, viņš neklausa mūsu balsij, viņš ir rijējs un dzērājs.
Then the parents must say to the elders of that city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and always rebelling against us. He will not pay attention to what we tell him [MTY]. He wastes a lot of money (OR, eats too much food) and gets drunk.’
21 Tad visiem viņa pilsētas ļaudīm to būs akmeņiem nomētāt, ka mirst. Tā tev būs izdeldēt to ļaunumu no tava vidus, ka viss Israēls to dzird un bīstas. -
Then all the elders of that city must execute him by throwing stones at him. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you. And everyone in Israel will hear [about what happened] and they will be afraid [to do what he did].”
22 Un ja kas darījis kādu grēku, ar ko tas nāvi pelnījis, un top nonāvēts un tu to pakar pie koka,
“If someone is executed for having committed a crime for which he deserves to die, and you hang his corpse on a post,
23 Tad lai viņa miesas nepaliek par nakti pie koka, bet aproc tās tai pašā dienā; jo tas pakārtais ir Dieva lāsts; tā tev šo zemi nebūs apgānīt, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dod par īpašumu.
you must not allow his corpse to remain there all night. You must bury it on the day that he died, because [God] has cursed anyone whose corpse is allowed to remain on a post. [You must bury the corpse that day], in order that you do not defile the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
