5 Мојсијева 17

1 Не приноси Господу Богу свом ни вола ни јагњета ни јарета на коме има мана или како год зло; јер је гадно пред Господом Богом твојим.

You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God an ox, or a sheep, in which is a blemish, or anything evil; for that is an abomination to the LORD your God.

2 Ако се нађе код тебе у коме од места твојих, која ти да Господ Бог твој, човек или жена да учини зло пред Господом Богом твојим преступајући завет Његов,

If there is found in the midst of you, within any of your gates which the LORD your God gives you, man or woman, who does that which is evil in the sight of the LORD your God, in transgressing his covenant,

3 И отиде те служи другим боговима и клања им се, или сунцу или месецу или чему год из војске небеске, што нисам заповедио,

and has gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;

4 И теби се то јави и ти чујеш, онда распитај добро; па ако буде истина и доиста се учинила она гадна ствар у Израиљу,

and it be told you, and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire diligently; and look, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in Israel,

5 Изведи оног човека или ону жену, који учинише оно зло, на врата своја, човека оног или жену, и заспи их камењем да погину.

then you shall bring forth that man or that woman, who has done this evil thing, to your gates, even the man or the woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.

6 На сведочанство два или три човека да се погуби онај кога ваља погубити; али на сведочанство једног човека да се не погуби.

At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he who is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

7 Сведоци нека први дигну руке на њ да га убију; а потом сав народ; тако извади зло из себе.

The hand of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.

8 Кад ти буде тешко расудити између крви и крви, између распре и распре, или између ране и ране, око којих буде парница у твом месту, тада устани и иди у место које изабере Господ Бог твој;

If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates; then you shall arise, and go up to the place which the LORD your God shall choose;

9 И отиди к свештеницима Левитима или к судији који онда буде, па их упитај, и они ће ти казати како ваља пресудити.

and you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days: and you shall inquire; and they shall show you the sentence of judgment.

10 И учини онако како ти кажу у месту које изабере Господ, и гледај да учиниш сасвим онако како те науче.

You shall do according to the tenor of the sentence which they shall show you from that place which the LORD shall choose; and you shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you:

11 По закону коме те науче, и по пресуди, коју ти кажу, учини; не одступи од оног што ти кажу ни надесно ни налево.

according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the sentence which they shall show you, to the right hand, nor to the left.

12 Ако ли би се ко упро те не би хтео послушати свештеника који онде стоји те служи Господу Богу твом, или судије, такав човек да се погуби; и извади зло из Израиља,

The man who does presumptuously, in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die: and you shall put away the evil from Israel.

13 Да сав народ чује и боји се, и унапред, да не ради упорно.

All the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.

14 Кад уђеш у земљу коју ти даје Господ Бог твој да је наследиш, и населиш се у њој, ако кажеш: Да поставим себи цара, као што имају сви народи око мене,

When you have come to the land which the LORD your God gives you, and shall possess it, and shall dwell in it, and shall say, "I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me";

15 Само оног постави себи за цара, ког изабере Господ Бог твој; између браће своје постави цара себи; а немој поставити над собом човека туђина, који није брат твој.

you shall surely set him king over yourselves, whom the LORD your God shall choose: one from among your brothers you shall set king over you; you may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.

16 Али да не држи много коња, и да не враћа народ у Мисир да би имао много коња, јер вам је Господ казао: Не враћајте се више овим путем.

Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because the LORD has said to you, "You shall not go back that way again."

17 И да нема много жена, да се не би отпадило срце његово, ни сребра ни злата да нема врло много.

Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

18 А кад седе на престо царства свог, нека препише себи у књигу овај закон од свештеника Левита;

It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law on a scroll in the presence of the Levitical priests.

19 И нека га држи код себе и нека га чита док је жив, да се учи бојати се Господа Бога свог, држати све речи овог закона и ове уредбе, и творити их;

And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;

20 Да се не би подигло срце његово изнад браће његове, и да не би одступило од ове заповести ни надесно ни налево, да би дуго царовао он и синови његови у Израиљу.

that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of Israel.
