Ponovljeni Zakon 19
1 Kad Gospod Bog tvoj potre narode kojih zemlju daje tebi Gospod Bog tvoj, i kad ih naslijediš i nastaniš se po gradovima njihovijem i po kuæama njihovijem,
“When your God YHWH cuts off the nations whose land your God YHWH is giving to you, and you have dispossessed them, and dwelt in their cities and in their houses,
2 Odvoj tri grada usred zemlje svoje, koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj da je naslijediš,
you separate three cities for yourself in the midst of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.
3 Naèini put, i razdijeli na troje krajeve zemlje svoje, koju ti da Gospod Bog tvoj u našljedstvo, pa neka bježi onamo svaki krvnik.
You prepare the way for yourself, and have divided into three parts the border of your land which your God YHWH causes you to inherit, and it has been for the fleeing there of every manslayer.
4 A ovako neka bude s krvnikom koji uteèe onamo, da bi ostao živ: ko ubije bližnjega svojega nehotice, ne mrzivši prije na nj,
And this [is] the matter of the manslayer who flees there, and has lived: he who strikes his neighbor unknowingly, and is not hating him before—
5 Kao kad bi ko otišao s bližnjim svojim u šumu da sijeèe drva, pa bi zamahnuo sjekirom u ruci svojoj da posijeèe drvo, a ona bi spala s držalice i pogodila bi bližnjega njegova tako da umre, on neka uteèe u koji od tijeh gradova da ostane živ,
even he who comes into a forest with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand has driven with an axe to cut the tree, and the iron has slipped from the wood, and has met his neighbor, and he has died—he flees to one of these cities, and has lived,
6 Da ne bi osvetnik potjerao krvnika dok mu je srce raspaljeno, i da ga ne bi stigao na daleku putu i ubio ga, premda nije zaslužio smrti, jer nije prije mrzio na nj.
lest the redeemer of blood pursue after the manslayer when his heart is hot and has overtaken him, because the way is great, and has struck his life, and he has no sentence of death, for he is not hating him before;
7 Zato ti zapovijedam i velim: tri grada odvoj.
therefore I am commanding you, saying, You separate three cities for yourself.
8 A kad raširi Gospod Bog tvoj meðe tvoje, kao što se zakleo ocima tvojim, i da ti svu zemlju koju je rekao dati ocima tvojim,
And if your God YHWH enlarges your border, as He has sworn to your fathers, and has given to you all the land which He has spoken to give to your fathers—
9 Ako uzdržiš i ustvoriš sve ove zapovijesti, koje ti ja danas zapovijedam, da ljubiš Gospoda Boga svojega i hodiš putovima njegovijem svagda, onda dodaj još tri grada osim ona tri,
when you keep all this command to do it, which I am commanding you today, to love your God YHWH and to walk in His ways [for] all the days—then you have added three more cities for yourself to these three;
10 Da se ne proljeva krv prava u zemlji tvojoj, koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje u našljedstvo, i da ne bude na tebi krv.
and [do this] lest innocent blood is shed in the midst of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance, and there has been blood on you.
11 Ali ako ko mrzi na bližnjega svojega i vreba ga, i skoèi na nj, i udari ga tako da umre, a on uteèe u koji od tijeh gradova,
And when a man is hating his neighbor, and has lain in wait for him, and risen against him, and struck his life, and he has died, then he has fled to one of these cities,
12 Onda starješine mjesta njegova neka pošlju i uzmu ga odande, i predadu ga u ruke osvetniku da se pogubi.
and [the] elderly of his city have sent and taken him from there, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood, and he has died;
13 Neka ga ne žali oko tvoje, nego skini krv pravu s Izrailja, da bi ti dobro bilo.
your eye has no pity on him, and you have put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it is well with you.
14 Ne pomièi meðe bližnjega svojega koju postave stari u našljedstvu tvojem koje dobiješ u zemlji koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje da je naslijediš.
You do not remove a border of your neighbor, which they of former times have made, in your inheritance, which you inherit in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.
15 Neka ne ustaje jedan svjedok na èovjeka ni za kako zlo i ni za kakav grijeh izmeðu svijeh grijeha koji se èine, nego na rijeèima dva ili tri svjedoka da ostaje stvar.
One witness does not rise against a man for any iniquity and for any sin, in any sin which he sins; by the mouth of two witnesses or by the mouth of three witnesses is a thing established.
16 Ako bi ustao lažan svjedok na koga da svjedoèi na njega da se odmeæe Boga,
When a violent witness rises against a man to testify against him apostasy,
17 Onda neka stanu ta dva èovjeka, koji imaju tu raspru, pred Gospoda, pred sveštenike i pred sudije koje budu u to vrijeme;
then both of the men who have the strife have stood before YHWH, before the priests and the judges who are in those days,
18 I neka dobro ispitaju sudije; ako svjedok onaj bude lažan svjedok i lažno svjedoèi na brata svojega,
and the judges have searched diligently, and behold, the witness [is] a false witness who has testified a falsehood against his brother,
19 Uèinite mu onako kako je on mislio uèiniti bratu svojemu; i izvadi zlo iz sebe,
then you have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and you have put away evil out of your midst,
20 Da se ostali èuvši to boje, i unapredak više ne èine tako zlo usred tebe.
and those who are left hear and fear, and do not add to do according to this evil thing in your midst anymore.
21 Neka ne žali oko tvoje: život za život, oko za oko, zub za zub, ruku za ruku, nogu za nogu.
And your eye does not pity—life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
