Второзаконие 21

1 Аще же обрящется убиеный на земли, юже Господь Бог дает тебе наследити, лежащь на поли, и не ведят убившаго и:

If one be found slain in the land which YHWH your God gives you to possess it, lying in the field, and it isn't known who has struck him;

2 да изыдут старцы и судии твои и да измерят до градов, иже окрест убиенаго:

then your elders and your judges shall come forth, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is slain:

3 и будет град приближаяйся убиеному, и да возмут старейшины града того юницу от говяд, еюже не делано, и яже ярма не понесе:

and it shall be, that the city which is nearest to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which hasn't been worked with, and which has not drawn in the yoke;

4 и да изведут старейшины града того юницу в дебрь суху, яже не оранна, ниже насеяна, и да пресекут жилы юницы в дебри:

and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer's neck there in the valley.

5 и да приступят жерцы Левити: яко сих избра Господь Бог твой предстояти Ему и благословляти во имя Его: и во устех их да будет всякое прекословие и всякая язва:

The priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them YHWH your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name of YHWH; and according to their word shall every controversy and every stroke be.

6 и вси старейшины града того, приближающиися убиеному, да омыют руце над главою юницы, ейже пресечены суть жилы в дебри,

All the elders of that city, who are nearest to the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley;

7 и отвещавше да рекут: руце наши не пролияша крове сея, и очи наши не видеша:

and they shall answer and say, "Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.

8 милостив буди людем Твоим Израилю, ихже извел еси, Господи, из земли Египетския, да не будет кровь неповинна на людех Твоих Израили: и очистится им кровь:

Forgive, YHWH, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and do not allow innocent blood in the midst of your people Israel." The blood shall be forgiven them.

9 ты же отимеши кровь неповинну от среды себе, аще сотвориши доброе и угодное пред Господем Богом твоим.

So you shall put away the innocent blood from the midst of you, when you shall do that which is right in the eyes of YHWH.

10 Аще же изыдеши на брань противу врагом твоим, и предаст я Господь Бог твой в руце твои, и плениши плен от них,

When you go forth to battle against your enemies, and YHWH your God delivers them into your hands, and you carry them away captive,

11 и узриши в плене добру обличием, и возлюбиши ю, и поймеши ю себе в жену,

and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife;

12 и введеши ю внутрь в дом твой, и да обриеши главу ея, и да обрежеши ногти ея,

then you shall bring her home to your house; and she shall shave her head, and trim her nails;

13 и да совлечеши ризы пленныя ея с нея: и да сядет в дому твоем, и да плачется отца своего и матере своея месяц дний: и но сем внидеши к ней, и совокупишися с нею, и будет тебе жена.

and she shall remove the clothing she was wearing when captured, and shall remain in your house, and mourn her father and her mother a full month. And after that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.

14 И будет аще не восхощеши ея, да отпустиши ю свободну, продажею же да не продаси ея на цене: да не отринеши ея, понеже смирил еси ю.

It shall be, if you are not pleased with her, then you must let her go where she wants; but you may not sell her for money or treat her as a commodity, since you have had relations with her.

15 Аще же будут мужу две жены, едина от них люба, и другая не люба, и породят ему любая и нелюбая, и будет сын перворожденный от нелюбимыя:

If a man has two wives, the one loved, and the other unloved, and they have borne him children, both the loved and the unloved; and if the firstborn son is hers who was unloved;

16 и будет в оньже день разделит сыном своим имение свое, не возможет первенцем быти сын любимыя, презрев сына нелюбимыя первенца:

then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not make the son of the loved the firstborn before the son of the unloved, who is the firstborn:

17 но сына нелюбимыя за первенца да признает, и даст ему сугубо от всего, еже обрящется ему, яко сей есть начало чад его, и сему достоит первенство.

but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that he has; for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

18 Аще же кому будет сын непокорив и грубитель, не послушаяй гласа отца своего и гласа матере своея, и накажут его, и не послушает их,

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not listen to them;

19 да возмут его отец его и мати его, и да изведут его пред старейшины града своего и пред врата места своего,

then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place;

20 и да рекут к мужем града своего: сын наш сей непокорив есть и грубитель и не слушает речи нашея, сластолюбствуя пиянствует:

and they shall tell the elders of his city, "This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard."

21 и да побиют его мужие града того камением, и да умрет: и измите злое от себе самих, да и прочии слышавше убоятся.

All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

22 Аще же будет на ком грех, суд смертный, и да умрет, и повесите его на древе,

If a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and you hang him on a tree;

23 да не пренощует тело его на древе, но во гробе погребите его в тойже день: яко проклят есть от Бога всяк висяй на древе: и да не оскверните земли, юже Господь Бог твой дает тебе во жребий.

his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for everyone who hangs on a tree is cursed by God; that you do not defile your land which YHWH your God gives you for an inheritance.
