Второзаконие 21
1 Аще же обрящется убиеный на земли, юже Господь Бог дает тебе наследити, лежащь на поли, и не ведят убившаго и:
If someone is found slain in the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess, 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 out, 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:
It shall be that the elders of the city which is nearest to the slain man 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:
The elders of that city shall bring the heifer down 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 the LORD your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the LORD’s name; and according to their word shall every controversy and every assault be decided.
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 which is 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:
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, LORD, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and don’t allow innocent blood among 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 among you, when you shall do that which is right in the LORD’s eyes.
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 out to battle against your enemies, and the LORD 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 are attracted to her, and desire to take her as 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. 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.
She shall take off the clothing of her captivity, and shall remain in your house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month. After that you shall 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 have no delight in her, then you shall let her go where she desires; but you shall not sell her at all for money. You shall not deal with her as a slave, because you have humbled 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 beloved and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated, and if the firstborn son is hers who was hated,
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 give the son of the beloved the rights of the firstborn before the son of the hated, 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 hated, 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 has 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 his father and his mother shall take hold of 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:
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 remove the evil from among you. 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 has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is 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 he who is hanged is accursed of God. Don’t defile your land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.
