Izlazak 23
1 Ne iznosi lažnijeh glasova; ne pristaj s bezbožnikom da svjedoèiš krivo.
“Do not tell to others (false rumors/untrue reports) about other people. Do not help someone who is guilty by (testifying falsely/lying) [about what happened].
2 Ne idi za množinom na zlo, i ne govori na sudu povodeæi se za veæim brojem da se izvrne pravda.
Do not join a group of people who are planning to do something evil. Do not testify the way the [crowd wants you to], if that will prevent [the judge from deciding the case] justly/fairly.
3 Siromahu u parnici njegovoj ne gledaj što je siromah.
When a poor person is on trial, do not [testify in] his favor [just] because he is poor [and you feel sorry for him].
4 Ako naiðeš na vola neprijatelja svojega ili na magarca njegova, gdje je zalutao, odvedi ga k njemu.
If you see someone’s bull or donkey when it is wandering away [loose], take it back to [its owner, even if the owner] is your enemy.
5 Ako vidiš gdje je nenavidniku tvojemu pao magarac pod teretom svojim, nemoj da ga ostaviš, nego mu pomozi.
If you see someone’s donkey that has fallen down [because of its heavy load], help the owner to get the donkey up again, [even if] he is someone who hates you. Do not just walk away [without helping him].
6 Nemoj izvrnuti pravde siromahu svojemu u parnici njegovoj.
Decide the cases of poor people who are on trial [as] fairly [as you decide the cases of other people].
7 Rijeèi lažne kloni se, i bezazlenoga i pravoga nemoj ubiti, jer neæu opravdati bezbožnika.
Do not accuse people falsely. Do not decide that innocent and righteous [DOU] people should be executed, because I will (punish/not forgive) people who do such an evil thing.
8 Ne uzimaj poklona, jer poklon zašljepljuje okate i izvræe rijeèi pravima.
Do not accept money that is a bribe, because officials who accept bribes are not able to [MTY] decide what is right to do, and they do not allow innocent people to be treated fairly.
9 Došljake ne cvijeli, jer vi znate kaka je duša došljaku, jer ste bili došljaci u zemlji Misirskoj.
Do not mistreat foreigners [who live among you]. You know [how people often treat] foreigners, because the Egyptians [did not treat you well when] you were foreigners there.
10 Šest godina zasijevaj zemlju svoju i sabiraj rod njezin;
Plant [seeds] in your ground and gather the harvest for six years.
11 A sedme godine ostavi je neka poèine, da jedu siromasi naroda tvojega, a što iza njih ostane neka jedu zvijeri poljske; tako radi i s vinogradom svojim i s maslinikom svojim.
But during the seventh year you must not plant anything. [If things grow without your planting seeds], allow poor people [to harvest and] eat the crops. If there are still crops (left over/that they do not harvest), allow wild animals to eat them. Do the same thing with your grapevines/vineyards and your olive trees.
12 Šest dana radi poslove svoje, a u sedmi dan poèini, da se odmori vo tvoj i magarac tvoj, i da odahne sin robinje tvoje i došljak.
[You may] work for six days [each week], but on the seventh day you must rest [and not work]. And on the seventh day you must allow your work animals and your slaves and the foreigners [who live among you] also [to rest and] be refreshed.
13 Držite se svega što sam vam kazao. Ne pominjite imena bogova tuðih, i da se ne èuje iz usta vaših.
Make certain that you obey everything that I have commanded [you to do]. Do not pray to [MTY] other gods. Do not even mention their names.”
14 Tri puta preko godine svetkuj mi:
“Every year you must celebrate three festivals to [honor] me.
15 Praznik prijesnijeh hljebova drži; sedam dana jedi hljebove prijesne, kao što sam ti zapovjedio, na vrijeme, mjeseca Aviva, jer si tada izašao iz Misira; i niko da ne izaðe preda me prazan;
[The first one] is the Festival of Bread That Has No Yeast. Celebrate it in the month [that is named] Abib. That is the month in which you left Egypt. Celebrate it in the way that I commanded you. And always bring [LIT] an offering when you come to worship me.
16 I praznik žetve prvina od truda tvojega što posiješ u polju svojem; i praznik berbe na svršetku svake godine, kad sabereš trud svoj s njive.
The second one is the Festival of Harvesting. During that festival you must offer to me the first parts/harvest of your crops that grow from the seeds that you planted. The third one is the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters. That will be after you finish harvesting your grain and grapes and fruit.
17 Tri puta preko godine sve muškinje tvoje da izlazi pred Gospoda Boga.
Every year, at each of these times, all the men must gather together to worship me, Yahweh God.
18 Krvi od žrtve moje ne prinosi uz hljebove kisele, i pretilina praznika mojega da ne prenoæi do jutra.
When you sacrifice an animal [and offer it] to me, you must not offer bread that has been baked with yeast. [When you] offer sacrifices, [burn] the fat [from the animals on that same day]. Do not allow any fat to remain until the next morning.
19 Prvine od prvoga roda zemlje svoje donesi u kuæu Gospoda Boga svojega; nemoj kuhati jagnjeta u mlijeku majke njegove.
Each year, when you harvest your crops, bring to the place where you worship me, Yahweh God, the first part of what you harvest. When you kill a (young animal/kid [or lamb or calf)], do not [prepare to eat it by] boiling it in its mother’s milk.”
20 Evo, ja šaljem anðela svojega pred tobom da te èuva na putu, i da te odvede na mjesto koje sam ti pripravio.
“Note this: I am going to send an angel ahead of you, to guard you as you travel and to bring you safely to the place that I have prepared [for you]. Pay attention to what he says and obey him. Do not rebel against him, because he will have my authority [MTY] and he will (punish/not forgive) [LIT] you if you rebel against him.
21 Èuvaj ga se, i slušaj ga, nemoj da ga rasrdiš, jer vam neæe oprostiti grijeha, jer je moje ime u njemu.
22 Nego ako ga dobro uzaslušaš i ustvoriš sve što kažem, ja æu biti neprijatelj tvojim neprijateljima i protivnik tvojim protivnicima.
But if you pay attention to what he says and if you do all that I tell you [to do], I will fight strongly [DOU] against all of your enemies.
23 Jer æe anðeo moj iæi pred tobom i odvešæe te u zemlju Amorejsku i Hetejsku i Ferezejsku i Hananejsku i Jevejsku i Jevusejsku, i ja æu ih istrijebiti.
My angel will go ahead of you, and will take you to where the Amor and Heth and Periz and Canaan and Hiv and Jebus people-groups live, and I will completely get rid of them.
24 Nemoj se klanjati bogovima njihovijem niti im služiti, ni èiniti što oni èine, nego ih sasvijem obori i likove njihove sasvijem izlomi.
Do not bow down before their gods/idols or worship them. And do not do the things [that they think that their gods want] them to do. Completely destroy their gods/idols, and smash to pieces their sacred stones.
25 I služite Gospodu Bogu svojemu, i on æe blagosloviti hljeb tvoj i vodu tvoju; i ukloniæu bolest izmeðu vas.
You must worship me, Yahweh God. [If you do that], I will bless your (OR, bless [you by giving you]) food and water, and I will protect you from becoming sick.
26 Neæe biti pometkinje ni nerotkinje u zemlji tvojoj; i broj dana tvojih napuniæu.
No women in your land will have (miscarriages/babies that will die after being born prematurely), and no women will be unable to become pregnant. And I will enable you to live a long time.
27 Pustiæu strah svoj pred tobom, i uplašiæu svaki narod na koji doðeš, i obratiæu k tebi pleæi svijeh neprijatelja tvojih.
I will cause the people who oppose you to become very afraid of me. I will cause the people whom you fight against to become very confused. And then I will cause them to turn around and run away from you.
28 Poslaæu i stršljene pred tobom, da tjeraju Jeveje, Hananeje i Heteje ispred tebe.
I will cause your enemies to become terrified. And I will expel the Hiv, Canaan, and Heth people-groups from your land.
29 Neæu ih otjerati ispred tebe za jednu godinu, da ne opusti zemlja i da se zvjerje poljsko ne namnoži na tebe.
I will not expel [all of] them in less than one year. If I did that, your land would become deserted, and there would be very many wild animals ([that would attack you/you would not be able to control]).
30 Pomalo æu ih odgoniti ispred tebe dokle se ne namnožiš i zauzmeš zemlju.
I will expel those people-groups slowly, a few at a time, until the number of your people increases and you are able to live everywhere in the land.
31 I postaviæu meðe tvoje od Mora Crvenoga do mora Filistejskoga i od pustinje do rijeke; jer æu vama u ruke dati one koji žive u onoj zemlji da ih otjeraš ispred sebe.
I will cause the borders of your land to extend from the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba) [in the southeast] to the Mediterranean Sea [in the northwest], and from the [Sinai] Desert [in the southwest] to the [Euphrates] River [in the northeast of the country]. I will enable you [MTY] to expel the people who live there, so that you will expel them as you occupy more of the country.
32 Nemoj hvatati vjere s njima ni s bogovima njihovijem.
You must not make any agreement/treaty with those people or with their gods.
33 Neka ne sjede u zemlji tvojoj, da te ne navrate da se ogriješiš o mene, jer bi služio bogovima njihovijem, i to bi ti bila zamka.
Do not allow [those people] to live in your land, in order that they do not cause you to sin against me. If you worship their gods, [you will not be able to escape from worshiping them and sinning against me, just like someone caught] in a trap [is unable to escape] [MET].”
