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.
You must not sacrifice to Yahweh your God an ox or a sheep in which is any blemish or anything bad, for that would be an abomination to Yahweh your 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 is found among you, within any of your city gates that Yahweh your God is giving you, any man or woman who does what is evil in the sight of Yahweh your God and transgresses his covenant,
3 in sta šla in služila drugim bogovom in jih oboževala ali sonce ali luno ali katerokoli vojsko neba, česar nisem zapovedal
anyone who has gone and worshiped other gods and bowed down to them, either the sun, the moon, or any of the host of heaven—nothing that I have commanded—
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 if you are told about this, or if you have heard of it, then you must make a careful investigation. If it is true and certain that such an abomination has been done in Israel, this is what you should do.
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.
You must bring that man or woman, who has done this evil thing, to your city gates, that very man or woman, and you must stone that person to death.
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, will he who must die be put to death; but at the mouth of only one witness he must 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 must be the first to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people; and you will remove the evil from among you.
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 a matter arises that is too hard for you to judge—perhaps a question of murder or accidental death, of one person's right and another person's right, or a question of one kind of harm done, or another kind of matter, matters of controversy within your city gates—then you must go up to the place that Yahweh your God will choose as his sanctuary.
9 in prišel boš k duhovnikom Lévijevcem in k sodniku, ki bo v tistih dneh in povprašal in pokazali ti bodo razsodbo sodbe.
You must go to the priests, the descendants of Levi, and to the judge who will be serving at that time; you will seek their advice, and they will give you the verdict.
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.
You must follow the law given to you at the place Yahweh will choose as his sanctuary. You will be careful to do everything that they direct you to do.
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.
Follow the law they teach you, and do according to the decisions they give you. Do not turn aside from what they tell you, to the right hand or 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.
Anyone who acts arrogantly, in not listening to the priest who is standing to serve before Yahweh your God, or in not listening to the judge—that man will die; you will put away the evil from Israel.
13 In vse ljudstvo bo slišalo in se balo in ne bo več prepotentno ravnalo.
All the people must hear and fear, and act arrogantly no more.
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 you have come to the land that Yahweh your God gives you, and when you take possession of it and begin to live in it, and then you say, 'I will set a king over myself, 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.
then you must surely set as king over yourself someone whom Yahweh your God will choose. You must set as king over yourself someone from among your brothers. You may not put a foreigner, who is not your brother, over yourself.
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.‹
But he must not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt so that he may multiply horses, for Yahweh had said to you, 'You will never return that way again.'
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.
He must not take many wives for himself, so that his heart does not turn away. He must not accumulate large amounts of 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,
When he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he must write for himself in a scroll a copy of this law, from the law that is before the priests, who are 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,
The scroll must be with him, and he must read in it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to honor Yahweh his God, so as to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to observe 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.
He must do this so that his heart is not lifted up above his brothers, and so that he does not turn away from the commandments, to the right hand or to the left; for the purpose that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, among Israel.
