5 Mojzes 17

1 Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, ne boš žrtvoval nobenega bika ali ovce, na kateri je pomanjkljivost ali kakršnakoli slaba stvar, kajti to je ogabnost Gospodu, tvojemu Bogu.

Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God an ox, or a sheep, wherein is a blemish, even any evil thing; for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

2 Če se med vami najdeta mož ali ženska, znotraj katerihkoli izmed tvojih velikih vrat, ki ti jih daje Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki sta storila zlobnost v očeh Gospoda, tvojega Boga, v tem, da sta prestopala njegovo zavezo

If there be found in the midst of thee, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that doeth that which is evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing His covenant,

3 in sta šla in služila drugim bogovom in jih oboževala ali sonce ali luno ali katerokoli vojsko neba, česar nisem zapovedal

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

4 in ti je to povedano in si o tem slišal in marljivo poizvedoval in glej, če je resnično in je stvar gotova, da je v Izraelu narejena takšna ogabnost,

and it be told thee, and thou hear it, then shalt thou inquire diligently, and, behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel;

5 potem boš tega moža ali to žensko, ki sta zagrešila to zlobno stvar, pripeljal naprej, k svojim velikim vratom, torej tistega moža ali tisto žensko in ju boš kamnal s kamni, dokler ne umreta.

then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, who have done this evil thing, unto thy gates, even the man or the woman; and thou shalt stone them with stones, that they die.

6 Po ustih dveh ali treh prič bo tisti, ki je vreden smrti, usmrčen, toda po ustih ene priče ne bo usmrčen.

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

7 Roke prič bodo prve nad njim, da ga usmrtijo in potem roke vsega ljudstva. Tako boš odstranil zlo izmed vas.

The hand of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee.

8 Če tam vstane zadeva, v sodbi zate pretežka, med krvjo in krvjo, med izgovorom in izgovorom, med udarcem in udarcem, ki so zadeve polemike znotraj tvojih velikih vrat, potem se boš vzdignil in se povzpel na kraj, ki ga bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, izbral

If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, even matters of controversy within thy gates; then shalt thou arise, and get thee up unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose.

9 in prišel boš k duhovnikom Lévijevcem in k sodniku, ki bo v tistih dneh in povprašal in pokazali ti bodo razsodbo sodbe.

And thou shall come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days; and thou shalt inquire; and they shall declare unto thee the sentence of judgment.

10 Storil boš glede na razsodbo, ki ti jo bodo pokazali tisti, iz tistega kraja, ki ga bo Gospod izbral in obeleževal boš, da storiš glede na vse, o čemer te obvestijo.

And thou shalt do according to the tenor of the sentence, which they shall declare unto thee from that place which the LORD shall choose; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they shall teach thee.

11 Storil boš glede na razsodbo postave, ki te jo bodo učili, in glede na sodbo, ki ti jo bodo povedali. Ne boš se odvrnil od obsodbe, ki ti jo bodo pokazali, ne na desno roko niti ne na levo.

According to the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do; thou shalt not turn aside from the sentence which they shall declare unto thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.

12 Mož pa, ki bo delal prepotentno in ne bo prisluhnil duhovniku, ki tam stoji, da služi pred Gospodom, tvojim Bogom ali sodniku, celo tisti mož bo umrl, in ti se boš iz Izraela znebil zla.

And the man that doeth presumptuously, in not hearkening unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die; and thou shalt exterminate the evil from Israel.

13 In vse ljudstvo bo slišalo in se balo in ne bo več prepotentno ravnalo.

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

14 Ko prideš v deželo, ki ti jo daje Gospod, tvoj Bog in jo boš vzel v last in boš prebival v njej in boš rekel: ›Nad seboj si bom postavil kralja, kakor je pri vseh narodih naokoli mene, ‹

When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein; and shalt say: 'I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are round about me';

15 boš vsekakor za kralja nad seboj postavil tistega, ki ga bo izbral Gospod, tvoj Bog. Enega izmed svojih bratov boš postavil za kralja nad seboj. Nad seboj ne smeš postaviti tujca, ki ni tvoj brat.

thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose; one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee; thou mayest not put a foreigner over thee, who is not thy brother.

16 Toda ta si ne bo množil konj niti ljudstvu ne bo povzročil, da se vrne v Egipt, z namenom, da bi množil konje, ker kakor ti je Gospod rekel: ›Odslej se ne boš več vrnil po tisti poti.‹

Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses; forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you: 'Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.'

17 Niti si k sebi ne bo množil žená, da njegovega srca ne odvrnejo stran niti k sebi ne bo silno pomnožil srebra in zlata.

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

18 In zgodilo se bo, ko sedi na prestolu svojega kraljestva, da si bo zapisal prepis te postave v knjigo iz te, ki je pred duhovniki Lévijevci,

And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the priests the Levites.

19 in ta bo z njim in iz nje bo bral vse dni svojega življenja, da se bo lahko učil bati se Gospoda, svojega Boga, da ohranja vse besede te postave in te zakone, da jih izvršuje,

And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein 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 da njegovo srce ne bo povzdignjeno nad njegove brate in da se ne obrne proč od zapovedi, k desni roki ali k levi, z namenom, da lahko podaljša svoje dni v svojem kraljestvu, on in njegovi otroci, v sredi Izraela.

that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not 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.
