Ponovljeni Zakon 25
1 Kad je raspra meðu ljudima, pa doðu na sud da im sude, tada pravoga neka opravdaju a krivoga neka osude.
When there ariseth a controversy between men, and they come nigh unto judgment, and judgment is granted them, then shall they justify the righteous man, and condemn the lawless.
2 I ako krivi zaslužuje boj, tada sudija neka zapovjedi da ga povale i biju pred njim, na broj prema krivici njegovoj.
And it shall be—if the lawless man be, worthy of stripes, then shall the judge cause him to lie down and be beaten before him, according to the measure of his lawlessness, by number:
3 Do èetrdeset udaraca neka zapovjedi da mu udare, ne više, da se ne bi poništio brat tvoj u tvojim oèima, kad bi mu se udarilo više udaraca.
forty stripes, may he give him not going beyond, —lest, if he do go beyond to smite him above these, with many stripes, then should thy brother be of no account in thine eyes.
4 Nemoj zavezati usta volu kad vrše.
Thou shalt not muzzle an ox when he is treading out the corn.
5 Kad braæa žive zajedno pa umre jedan od njih bez djece, onda žena umrloga da se ne uda iz kuæe za drugoga; brat njegov neka otide k njoj i uzme je za ženu i uèini joj dužnost djeversku.
When brethren dwell together, and one of them dieth, having, no son, the wife of the dead shall not marry outside to a stranger, —her husband’s brother, shall go in unto her, and take her unto him to wife and do for her as a husband’s brother.
6 I prvi sin kojega ona rodi neka se nazove imenom brata njegova umrloga, da ne pogine ime njegovo u Izrailju.
And it shall be, that, the firstborn which she beareth, shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, —so shall his name not be wiped out from Israel.
7 Ako li onaj èovjek ne bi htio uzeti snahe svoje, onda snaha njegova neka doðe na vrata pred starješine, i reèe: neæe djever moj da podigne bratu svojemu sjemena u Izrailju, neæe da mi uèini dužnosti djeverske.
But, if the man like not to take his sister-in-law, then shall his sister-in-law go up unto the gate, unto the elders, and say—My husband’s brother hath refused, to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he is not willing to do as a husband’s brother unto me.
8 Tada neka ga dozovu starješine mjesta onoga i razgovore se s njim; pa ako se on upre i reèe: neæu da je uzmem;
Then shall the elders of his city call him and speak unto him, —and he shall stand and say, I like not to take her.
9 Onda neka pristupi k njemu snaha njegova pred starješinama, i neka mu izuje obuæu s noge njegove i pljune mu u lice, i progovorivši neka reèe: tako valja da bude èovjeku koji neæe da zida kuæe brata svojega.
Then shall his brother’s wife come near unto him in the presence of the elders, and draw his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, —and respond and say, Thus shall it be done unto the man who will not build up the house of his brother.
10 I on neka se zove u Izrailju: dom bosoga.
And his name shall be called in Israel, —The house of him who had his shoe drawn off.
11 Ako bi se svadili ljudi, jedan s drugim, pa bi došla žena jednoga da otme muža svojega iz ruke drugoga koji ga bije, i pruživši ruku svoju uhvatila bi ga za mošnice,
When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, —and she putteth forth her hand, and seizeth him by his parts of shame,
12 Otsijeci joj ruku; neka ne žali oko tvoje.
then shalt thou cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity.
13 Nemoj imati u torbi svojoj dvojaku mjeru, veliku i malu.
Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, —a great and a small.
14 Nemoj imati u kuæi svojoj dvojaku efu, veliku i malu.
Thou shalt not have in thy house divers measures, —a great and a small.
15 Mjera potpuna i prava neka ti je; efa potpuna i prava neka ti je, da bi ti se produljili dani tvoji u zemlji koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj.
A weight full and just, shalt thou have, a measure full and just, shalt thou have, —that thy days may be prolonged upon the soil which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee.
16 Jer je gad pred Gospodom Bogom tvojim ko god èini tako, ko god èini krivo.
For an abomination unto Yahweh thy God, is every one that doeth these things, —every one that doeth unjustly.
17 Opominji se šta ti je uèinio Amalik na putu kad iðaste iz Misira,
Remember that which Amalek did unto thee by the way when ye came forth out of Egypt;
18 Kako te doèeka na putu i pobi na kraju sve umorne koji iðahu za tobom, kad si bio sustao i iznemogao, i ne boja se Boga.
how he encountered thee by the way and cut off in thy rear all the worn-out behind thee, thou thyself, being weary and worn, —how he feared not God.
19 Zato kad te Gospod Bog tvoj smiri od svijeh neprijatelja tvojih unaokolo u zemlji koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj da je naslijediš, tada zatri spomen Amaliku pod nebom; ne zaboravi.
Therefore shall it be when Yahweh thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about in the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee for an inheritance to possess it, then shalt thou wipe out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens, —thou shalt not forget.
