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,
When there shall be found one slain on the soil which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee to possess, lying prostrate in the field, —it not being known who smote him,
2 potem bodo prišli tvoje starešine in tvoji sodniki in bodo izmerili [razdaljo] do mest, ki so naokoli tega, ki je umorjen.
then shall thine elders and thy judges go forth, —and measure unto the cities that are round about the slain;
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,
and it shall be that the city that is nearest unto the slain, the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd which hath not been wrought with, which hath not drawn in a yoke;
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
and the elders of that city shall take down the heifer into a ravine with an everflowing stream, which is neither tilled nor sown, —and shall behead there the heifer in the ravine.
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
Then shall the priests the sons of Levi come near, for of them, hath Yahweh thy God made choice to wait upon him, and to bless in the name of Yahweh, —and at their bidding, shall be settled every controversy and every punishment;
6 in vse starešine tega mesta, ki je bliže umorjenemu človeku, si bodo roke umili nad telico, ki je obglavljena v dolini
and, all the elders of that city who are nearest unto the slain, shall bathe their hands over the heifer that hath been beheaded in the ravine,
7 in odgovorili bodo ter rekli: ›Naše roke niso prelile te krvi niti naše oči tega niso videle.
and shall respond, and say, —Our hands, shed not this blood, neither did, our eyes, see [the deed].
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.
Be propitious unto thy people Israel whom thou hast redeemed, O Yahweh, and do not impute innocent blood in the midst of thy people Israel. So shall they obtain propitiation for the guilt of shedding blood.
9 Tako boš izmed sebe odvzel krivdo nedolžne krvi, ko boš storil to, kar je pravilno v Gospodovih očeh.
Thou, therefore shalt consume the guilt of shedding innocent blood out of thy midst, —when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh.
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 thou shalt go forth to war against thine enemies, —and Yahweh thy God shall deliver them into thy hand and thou shalt take them captive;
11 in vidiš med ujetniki lepo žensko in imaš do nje poželenje, da bi jo imel za svojo ženo,
and shalt see among the captives a woman of beautiful figure, —and shalt have a desire unto her, and wouldest take her to thee to wife,
12 potem jo boš privedel domov, v svojo hišo. Ona si bo obrila svojo glavo in postrigla svoje nohte
then shalt thou bring her into the midst of thy house, —and she shall shave her head and pare 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 away the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother for the space of a month, —and after that, mayest thou go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy 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 it shall be, if thou hast no pleasure in her, then shalt thou let her go whither she will but thou shalt not sell, her for silver, —thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled 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,
When a man shall have two wives—the one beloved and, the other hated, and they have borne him sons, both she that is beloved, and she that is hated, —and it shall be that the firstborn son belongeth to her that is hated,
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,
then shall it be, that in the day when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, he may not treat the son of the beloved, instead of the son of the hated, as the firstborn;
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.
but the true firstborn the son of her that is hated, shall he treat as firstborn by giving him double out of all that is found to be his, —for, he, is the beginning of his strength, his, is the right of the firstborn.
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,
When a man hath a son, rebellious and insulting, who will not hearken to the voice of his father, and to the voice of his mother, —though they chastise him, yet will not hearken unto them,
19 potem naj ga njegov oče in njegova mati primeta in ga privedeta k starešinam njegovega mesta in k velikim vratom njegovega kraja
then shall his father and his mother, lay hold of him, —and bring him forth unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
20 in starešinam mesta bosta rekla: ›Ta najin sin je trmoglav in uporen, noče ubogati najinega glasu. Požeruh je in pijanec.‹
and shall say unto the elders of his city: This our son, is rebellious and insulting, —he will not hearken unto our voice, —a glutton and a tippler.
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 shall all the men of his city stone him with stones that he die, so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst, —and, all Israel, shall hear and fear.
22 Če je moški zagrešil greh, vreden smrti, in bo usmrčen in ga obesiš na drevo,
But when there shall be in any man a sin worthy of death and he is to be put to death, —and thou shalt hang him 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.
his dead body shall not remain all night upon the tree but thou shalt bury, him on the same day, for a reproach unto God, is he that is hanged, —so shalt thou not make unclean thy soil which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee for an inheritance.
