5 Mojzes 21
1 Če je nekdo najden ubit na polju, ki ti ga Gospod, tvoj Bog, daje v last, ležeč na polju in se ne ve kdo ga je umoril,
If one is found slain, lying in a field in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess, and it is not known who killed him,
2 potem bodo prišli tvoje starešine in tvoji sodniki in bodo izmerili [razdaljo] do mest, ki so naokoli tega, ki je umorjen.
your elders and judges must come out and measure the distance from the victim to the neighboring cities.
3 Zgodilo se bo, da mesto, ki je bliže umorjenemu človeku, celo starešine tega mesta bodo vzeli telico, s katero še niso delali in ki še ni vlekla jarma,
Then the elders of the city nearest the victim shall take a heifer that has never been yoked or used for work,
4 in starešine tega mesta bodo telico privedli dol v valovito dolino, ki ni niti obdelana niti posejana in tam, v dolini, bodo telici zlomili vrat
bring the heifer to a valley with running water that has not been plowed or sown, and break its neck there by the stream.
5 in duhovniki, sinovi Lévijevcev, se bodo približali, kajti njih je Gospod, tvoj Bog, izbral, da mu služijo in da blagoslavljajo v Gospodovem imenu, in po njihovi besedi bo vsaka polemika in vsak udarec preizkušen
And the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come forward, for the LORD your God has chosen them to serve Him and pronounce blessings in His name and to give a ruling in every dispute and case of assault.
6 in vse starešine tega mesta, ki je bliže umorjenemu človeku, si bodo roke umili nad telico, ki je obglavljena v dolini
Then all the elders of the city nearest the victim shall wash their hands by the stream over the heifer whose neck has been broken,
7 in odgovorili bodo ter rekli: ›Naše roke niso prelile te krvi niti naše oči tega niso videle.
and they shall declare, “Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it.
8 Bodi usmiljen, oh Gospod, svojemu ljudstvu Izraelu, ki si ga odkupil in ne polagaj nedolžne krvi na svoje ljudstvo Izrael, ki je najbliže.‹ In kri jim bo odpuščena.
Accept this atonement, O LORD, for Your people Israel whom You have redeemed, and do not hold the shedding of innocent blood against them.” And the bloodshed will be atoned for.
9 Tako boš izmed sebe odvzel krivdo nedolžne krvi, ko boš storil to, kar je pravilno v Gospodovih očeh.
So you shall purge from among you the guilt of shedding innocent blood, since you have done what is right in the eyes of the LORD.
10 Ko greš naprej v vojno zoper svoje sovražnike in ti jih Gospod, tvoj Bog, izroči v tvoje roke in si jih zajel kot ujetnike
When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hand and you take them captive,
11 in vidiš med ujetniki lepo žensko in imaš do nje poželenje, da bi jo imel za svojo ženo,
if you see a beautiful woman among them, and you desire her and want to take her as your wife,
12 potem jo boš privedel domov, v svojo hišo. Ona si bo obrila svojo glavo in postrigla svoje nohte
then you shall bring her into your house. She must shave her head, trim her nails,
13 in iz sebe bo odložila oblačila svojega ujetništva in ostala bo v tvoji hiši in cel mesec bo objokovala svojega očeta in svojo mater. Potem boš šel noter k njej in boš njen soprog in ona bo tvoja žena.
and put aside the clothing of her captivity. After she has lived in your house a full month and mourned her father and mother, you may have relations with her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.
14 In zgodilo se bo, če z njo ne boš imel veselja, potem jo boš pustil oditi kamor ona hoče. Toda, ker si jo ponižal, je nikakor ne boš prodal za denar, iz nje ne boš naredil trgovskega blaga.
And if you are not pleased with her, you are to let her go wherever she wishes. But you must not sell her for money or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.
15 Če ima mož dve ženi, eno ljubljeno in drugo osovraženo in sta mu rodili otroke, obe, ljubljena in osovražena in če je prvorojenec od tiste, ki je bila osovražena,
If a man has two wives, one beloved and the other unloved, and both bear him sons, but the unloved wife has the firstborn son,
16 potem se bo zgodilo, ko daje svojim sinovom podedovati to, kar ima, da ne sme narediti sina ljubljene prvorojenca pred sinom osovražene, ki je zares prvorojenec,
when that man assigns his inheritance to his sons he must not appoint the son of the beloved wife as the firstborn over the son of the unloved wife.
17 temveč bo sina osovražene priznal za prvorojenca s tem, da mu da dvojni delež od vsega, kar ima, kajti on je začetek njegove moči; pravica prvorojenca je njegova.
Instead, he must acknowledge the firstborn, the son of his unloved wife, by giving him a double portion of all that he has. For that son is the firstfruits of his father’s strength; the right of the firstborn belongs to him.
18 Če ima človek trmoglavega in upornega sina, ki noče ubogati glasu svojega očeta ali glasu svoje matere in ko sta ga karala, da ju noče poslušati,
If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and does not listen to them when disciplined,
19 potem naj ga njegov oče in njegova mati primeta in ga privedeta k starešinam njegovega mesta in k velikim vratom njegovega kraja
his father and mother are to lay hold of him and bring him to the elders of his city, to the gate of his hometown,
20 in starešinam mesta bosta rekla: ›Ta najin sin je trmoglav in uporen, noče ubogati najinega glasu. Požeruh je in pijanec.‹
and say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he does not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.”
21 In vsi ljudje iz njegovega mesta ga bodo kamnali s kamni, da ta umre. Tako boš zlo odstranil proč izmed vas in ves Izrael bo slišal in se bal.
Then all the men of his city will stone him to death. So you must purge the evil from among you, and all Israel will hear and be afraid.
22 Če je moški zagrešil greh, vreden smrti, in bo usmrčen in ga obesiš na drevo,
If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you hang his body on a tree,
23 naj njegovo truplo ne ostane vso noč na drevesu, temveč ga boš vsekakor tisti dan pokopal (kajti ta, ki je obešen, je preklet od Boga), da tvoja dežela, ki ti jo Gospod, tvoj Bog, daje za dediščino, ne bo omadeževana.
you must not leave the body on the tree overnight, but you must be sure to bury him that day, because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God’s curse. You must not defile the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
