2 Mojzes 23
1 Ne boš dvignil napačnega poročila. Svoje roke ne podaj z zlobnim, da bi bil nepravična priča.
“You shall not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked by being a malicious witness.
2 Ne boš sledil množici, da počneš zlo. Niti ne boš govoril v zadevi, da se ne nagneš za mnogimi, ki pačijo sodbo.
You shall not follow the crowd in wrongdoing. When you testify in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd.
3 Niti ne boš podpiral reveža v njegovi zadevi.
And do not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.
4 Če srečaš vola svojega sovražnika ali njegovega osla zaiti, mu ga boš zagotovo ponovno privedel nazaj k njemu.
If you encounter your enemy’s stray ox or donkey, you must return it to him.
5 Če vidiš osla tistega, ki te sovraži, ležati pod svojim bremenom in odlašaš, da mu pomagaš, mu boš zagotovo z njim vred pomagal.
If you see the donkey of one who hates you fallen under its load, do not leave it there; you must help him with it.
6 Ne boš pačil sodbe ubogega v njegovi zadevi.
You shall not deny justice to the poor in their lawsuits.
7 Drži se proč od napačne stvari. Nedolžnega in pravičnega ne ubij, kajti zlobnega ne bom opravičil.
Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent or the just, for I will not acquit the guilty.
8 In ti ne boš prejel nobenega daru, kajti dar slepi modrega in izkrivlja besede pravičnega.
Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous.
9 Tudi ne boš zatiral tujca, kajti poznate srce tujca, glede na to, da ste bili tujci v egiptovski deželi.
Do not oppress a foreign resident, since you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
10 Šest let boš sejal svojo zemljo in zbiral njene sadove,
For six years you are to sow your land and gather its produce,
11 toda sedmo leto jo boš pustil počivati in mirno ležati, da ubogi izmed tvojega ljudstva lahko jedo. Kar bodo pustili, naj pojedo živali polja. Na podoben način boš postopal s svojim vinogradom in s svojim oljčnim nasadom.
but in the seventh year you must let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor among your people may eat from the field and the wild animals may consume what they leave. Do the same with your vineyard and olive grove.
12 Šest dni boš opravljal svoje delo, na sedmi dan pa boš počival, da bosta tvoj vol in tvoj osel lahko počivala in bosta sin tvoje pomočnice in tujec lahko osvežena.
For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you must cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the son of your maidservant may be refreshed, as well as the foreign resident.
13 V vseh stvareh, ki sem ti jih rekel, bodi preudaren. In ne omenjaj imena drugih bogov niti naj tega ne bo slišati iz tvojih ust.
Pay close attention to everything I have said to you. You must not invoke the names of other gods; they must not be heard on your lips.
14 Trikrat v letu mi boš ohranjal praznovanje.
Three times a year you are to celebrate a feast to Me.
15 Ohranjal boš praznik nekvašenega kruha (sedem dni boš jedel nekvašeni kruh, kakor sem ti zapovedal, v določenem času meseca abíba, kajti v njem si prišel iz Egipta in nihče se pred menoj ne bo prikazal prazen)
You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread as I commanded you: At the appointed time in the month of Abib you are to eat unleavened bread for seven days, because that was the month you came out of Egypt. No one may appear before Me empty-handed.
16 in praznik žetve, prve sadove svojih trudov, ki si jih posejal na polju in praznik spravljanja, ki je ob koncu leta, ko si svoje trude pospravil s polja.
You are also to keep the Feast of Harvest with the firstfruits of the produce from what you sow in the field. And keep the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather your produce from the field.
17 Trikrat na leto naj se vsi tvoji možje prikažejo pred Gospodom Bogom.
Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD.
18 Krvi moje klavne daritve ne boš žrtvoval z vzhajanim kruhom niti naj maščoba mojega darovanja ne ostane do jutra.
You must not offer the blood of My sacrifices with anything leavened, nor may the fat of My feast remain until morning.
19 Prvine od prvih sadov svoje zemlje boš prinesel v hišo Gospoda, svojega Boga. Kozlička ne boš zavrel v mleku njegove matere.
Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
20 Glej, pred teboj pošiljam Angela, da te varuje na poti in te privede na kraj, ki sem ga pripravil.
Behold, I am sending an angel before you to protect you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.
21 Pazi se ga in ubogaj njegov glas, ne izzivaj ga, kajti ne bo oprostil tvojih prestopkov, kajti moje ime je v njem.
Pay attention to him and listen to his voice; do not defy him, for he will not forgive rebellion, since My Name is in him.
22 Toda če boš zares ubogal njegov glas in storil vse, kar ti govorim, potem bom sovražnik tvojih sovražnikov in nasprotnik tvojih nasprotnikov.
But if you will listen carefully to his voice and do everything I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes.
23 Kajti moj Angel bo šel pred teboj in te privede k Amoréjcem, Hetejcem, Perizéjcem, Kánaancem, Hivéjcem in Jebusejcem, in jaz jih bom odrezal.
For My angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will annihilate them.
24 Ne boš se priklanjal njihovim bogovom niti jim služil niti počel po njihovih delih, temveč jih boš popolnoma premagal in popolnoma zlomil njihove podobe.
You must not bow down to their gods or serve them or follow their practices. Instead, you are to demolish them and smash their sacred stones to pieces.
25 Služili boste Gospodu, svojemu Bogu in on bo blagoslovil tvoj kruh in tvojo vodo, in iz tvoje srede bom odvzel bolezen.
So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take away sickness from among you.
26 V tvoji deželi nič ne bo zavrglo svojih mladih niti ne bo jalovo. Število tvojih dni bom izpolnil.
No woman in your land will miscarry or be barren; I will fulfill the number of your days.
27 Pred teboj bom poslal svoj strah in uničil bom vsa ljudstva, h katerim boš prišel in vsem tvojim sovražnikom bom storil, da svoje hrbte obrnejo k tebi.
I will send My terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn and run.
28 Pred teboj bom poslal sršene, ki bodo izpred tebe napodili Hivéjce, Kánaance in Hetejce.
I will send the hornet before you to drive the Hivites and Canaanites and Hittites out of your way.
29 Izpred tebe jih ne bom pognal v enem letu, da ne bi zemlja postala zapuščena in bi se zoper tebe namnožile poljske zveri.
I will not drive them out before you in a single year; otherwise the land would become desolate and wild animals would multiply against you.
30 Po malo in malo jih bom podil izpred tebe, dokler ne boš narasel in podedoval dežele.
Little by little I will drive them out ahead of you, until you become fruitful and possess the land.
31 Tvoje meje bom postavil od Rdečega morja, celo do morja Filistejcev in od puščave do reke, kajti jaz bom prebivalce dežele izročil v tvojo roko, ti pa jih boš pognal pred seboj.
And I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the Euphrates. For I will deliver the inhabitants into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.
32 Z njimi ne boš sklenil nobene zaveze niti z njihovimi bogovi.
You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.
33 Naj ne prebivajo v tvoji deželi, da te ne bi pripravili grešiti zoper mene, kajti če boš služil njihovim bogovom, ti bodo le-ti zagotovo zanka.«
They must not remain in your land, lest they cause you to sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
