Ponovljeni Zakon 17
1 Ne prinosi Gospodu Bogu svojemu ni vola ni jagnjeta ni jareta na kom ima mana ili kako god zlo; jer je gadno pred Gospodom Bogom tvojim.
You must not sacrifice to Yahweh your God an ox or a sheep in which is any blemish or anything bad, for that would be an abomination to Yahweh your God.
2 Ako se naðe kod tebe u kojem od mjesta tvojih, koja ti da Gospod Bog tvoj, èovjek ili žena da uèini zlo pred Gospodom Bogom tvojim prestupajuæi zavjet njegov,
If there is found among you, within any of your city gates that Yahweh your God is giving you, any man or woman who does what is evil in the sight of Yahweh your God and transgresses his covenant,
3 I otide te služi drugim bogovima i klanja im se, ili suncu ili mjesecu ili èemu god iz vojske nebeske, što nijesam zapovjedio,
anyone who has gone and worshiped other gods and bowed down to them, either the sun, the moon, or any of the host of heaven—nothing that I have commanded—
4 I tebi se to javi i ti èuješ, onda raspitaj dobro; pa ako bude istina i doista se uèinila ona gadna stvar u Izrailju,
and if you are told about this, or if you have heard of it, then you must make a careful investigation. If it is true and certain that such an abomination has been done in Israel, this is what you should do.
5 Izvedi onoga èovjeka ili onu ženu, koji uèiniše ono zlo, na vrata svoja, èovjeka onoga ili ženu, i zaspi ih kamenjem da poginu.
You must bring that man or woman, who has done this evil thing, to your city gates, that very man or woman, and you must stone that person to death.
6 Na svjedoèanstvo dva ili tri èovjeka da se pogubi onaj koga valja pogubiti; ali na svjedoèanstvo jednoga èovjeka da se ne pogubi.
At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, will he who must die be put to death; but at the mouth of only one witness he must not be put to death.
7 Svjedoci neka prvi dignu ruke na nj da ga ubiju; a potom sav narod; tako izvadi zlo iz sebe.
The hand of the witnesses must be the first to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people; and you will remove the evil from among you.
8 Kad ti bude teško rasuditi izmeðu krvi i krvi, izmeðu raspre i raspre, ili izmeðu rane i rane, oko kojih bude parnica u tvojem mjestu, tada ustani i idi u mjesto koje izbere Gospod Bog tvoj;
If a matter arises that is too hard for you to judge—perhaps a question of murder or accidental death, of one person's right and another person's right, or a question of one kind of harm done, or another kind of matter, matters of controversy within your city gates—then you must go up to the place that Yahweh your God will choose as his sanctuary.
9 I otidi k sveštenicima Levitima ili k sudiji koji onda bude, pa ih upitaj, i oni æe ti kazati kako valja presuditi.
You must go to the priests, the descendants of Levi, and to the judge who will be serving at that time; you will seek their advice, and they will give you the verdict.
10 I uèini onako kako ti kažu u mjestu koje izbere Gospod, i gledaj da uèiniš sasvijem onako kako te nauèe.
You must follow the law given to you at the place Yahweh will choose as his sanctuary. You will be careful to do everything that they direct you to do.
11 Po zakonu kojemu te nauèe, i po presudi, koju ti kažu, uèini; ne otstupi od onoga što ti kažu ni nadesno ni nalijevo.
Follow the law they teach you, and do according to the decisions they give you. Do not turn aside from what they tell you, to the right hand or to the left.
12 Ako li bi se ko upro te ne bi htio poslušati sveštenika koji ondje stoji te služi Gospodu Bogu tvojemu, ili sudije, taki èovjek da se pogubi; i izvadi zlo iz Izrailja,
Anyone who acts arrogantly, in not listening to the priest who is standing to serve before Yahweh your God, or in not listening to the judge—that man will die; you will put away the evil from Israel.
13 Da sav narod èuje i boji se, i unapredak da ne radi uporno.
All the people must hear and fear, and act arrogantly no more.
14 Kad uðeš u zemlju koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj da je naslijediš, i naseliš se u njoj, ako reèeš: da postavim sebi cara, kao što imaju svi narodi oko mene,
When you have come to the land that Yahweh your God gives you, and when you take possession of it and begin to live in it, and then you say, 'I will set a king over myself, like all the nations that are round about me,'
15 Samo onoga postavi sebi za cara, kojega izbere Gospod Bog tvoj; izmeðu braæe svoje postavi cara sebi; a nemoj postaviti nad sobom èovjeka tuðina, koji nije brat tvoj.
then you must surely set as king over yourself someone whom Yahweh your God will choose. You must set as king over yourself someone from among your brothers. You may not put a foreigner, who is not your brother, over yourself.
16 Ali da ne drži mnogo konja, i da ne vraæa naroda u Misir da bi imao mnogo konja, jer vam je Gospod kazao: ne vraæajte se više ovijem putem.
But he must not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt so that he may multiply horses, for Yahweh had said to you, 'You will never return that way again.'
17 I da nema mnogo žena, da se ne bi otpadilo srce njegovo, ni srebra ni zlata da nema vrlo mnogo.
He must not take many wives for himself, so that his heart does not turn away. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold.
18 A kad sjede na prijesto carstva svojega, neka prepiše sebi u knjigu ovaj zakon od sveštenika Levita;
When he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he must write for himself in a scroll a copy of this law, from the law that is before the priests, who are Levites.
19 I neka ga drži kod sebe i neka ga èita dok je živ, da se uèi bojati se Gospoda Boga svojega, držati sve rijeèi ovoga zakona i ove uredbe, i tvoriti ih;
The scroll must be with him, and he must read in it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to honor Yahweh his God, so as to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to observe them.
20 Da se ne bi podiglo srce njegovo iznad braæe njegove, i da ne bi otstupilo od ove zapovijesti ni nadesno ni nalijevo, da bi dugo carovao on i sinovi njegovi u Izrailju.
He must do this so that his heart is not lifted up above his brothers, and so that he does not turn away from the commandments, to the right hand or to the left; for the purpose that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, among Israel.
