Deuteronomy, 14

1. “Be sons of the Lord your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make yourselves bald, because of the dead.

1. Vi ste sinovi Jahve, Boga svoga. Nemojte na sebi praviti ureza ni podstriga na èelu za pokojnikom.

2. For you are a holy people, for the Lord your God. And he chose you, so that you may be a people particularly his, out of all the nations on earth.

2. TÓa ti si narod posveæen Jahvi, Bogu svome; Jahve je odabrao tebe izmeðu svih naroda na zemlji da budeš njegov narod, njegova predraga svojina.

3. You shall not eat the things that are unclean.

3. Ništa odvratno nemojte jesti.

4. These are the animals which you ought to eat: the ox, and the sheep, and the goat,

4. Ovo su životinje koje možete jesti: vol, ovca, koza,

5. the stag and the roe deer, the gazelle, the wild goat, the addax, the antelope, the giraffe.

5. jelen, srna, srndaæ, kozorog, antilopa, bivol i divokoza;

6. Every beast which has a hoof divided into two parts and which also chews the cud, you shall eat.

6. možete jesti svaku životinju koja ima razdvojene papke - nadvoje posve razdvojene - i koja preživa.

7. But those which chew over again, but do not have a divided hoof, you must not eat, such as the camel, the hare, and the hyrax. Since these chew the cud, but do not have a divided the hoof, they shall be unclean to you.

7. Samo od preživaèa ili od životinja s razdvojenim èaporcima ne možete jesti ove : devu, arnebeta i svisca. Te, naime, iako preživaju, nemaju razdvojenih papaka; neka su za vas neèiste.

8. The pig also, since it has a divided hoof, but does not chew over again, shall be unclean. Their flesh shall not be eaten, and you shall not touch their carcasses.

8. A svinja, premda ima papke razdvojene, ne preživa: neka je za vas neèista. Njezina mesa nemojte jesti niti se njezina strva doticati.

9. These you shall eat out of all that dwells in the waters: whatever has fins and scales, you shall eat.

9. A od svega što u vodi živi ovo možete jesti: što god ima ljuske i peraje, možete jesti.

10. Whatever is without fins and scales, you shall not eat, for these are unclean.

10. A što nema ljusaka i peraja, ne smijete jesti. To neka je za vas neèisto.

11. All the clean birds, you shall eat.

11. Svaku èistu pticu možete jesti.

12. You shall not eat those that are unclean: such as the eagle, and the griffin, and the osprey,

12. Ali ovih ne smijete jesti: orla strvinara i jastreba,

13. the crane, and the vulture, and the kite, according to their kind,

13. tetrijeba, sokola bilo koje vrste;

14. and any kind of raven,

14. gavrana bilo koje vrste;

15. and the ostrich, and the owl, and the gull, and the hawk, according to their kind,

15. noja, kopca, galeba ni kraguja bilo koje vrste;

16. the heron, and the swan, and the ibis,

16. sove, jejine i labuda;

17. and the sea bird, the marsh hen, and the night raven,

17. pelikana, bijelog strvinara i gnjurca;

18. the pelican and the plover, each in their kind, likewise the crested hoopoe and the bat.

18. rode, èaplje bilo koje vrste; pupavca i šišmiša.

19. And anything which crawls and also has little wings shall be unclean, and shall not be eaten.

19. Svi krilati kukci neka su za vas neèisti - ne smijete ih jesti.

20. All that is clean, you shall eat.

20. Sve krilato èisto možete jesti.

21. But whatever has died of itself, you shall not eat from it. Give it to the sojourner, who is within your gates, so that he may eat, or sell it to him. For you are the holy people of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in the milk of his mother.

21. Ne smijete jesti ništa što crkne. Daj to pridošlici koji boravi u tvojim gradovima neka jede ili pak prodaj tuðincu. Jer ti si narod posveæen Jahvi, Bogu svome. Ne kuhaj kozleta u mlijeku njegove majke!

22. Each year, you shall separate the tithes out of all your crops which spring forth from the earth.

22. Odvajaj desetinu dohotka svake godine od svega što tvoj usjev u polju donese.

23. And you shall eat these in the sight of the Lord your God, in the place which he will choose, so that his name may be invoked there: the tenth part of your grain and wine and oil, and the firstborn from the herds and your sheep. So may you learn to fear the Lord your God at all times.

23. A onda blaguj desetine svoga žita, svoga vina, svoga ulja i prvine svoje krupne i sitne stoke u nazoènosti Jahve, Boga svoga, na mjestu koje on odabere da svoje ime ondje nastani; da se tako nauèiš zauvijek bojati se Jahve, Boga svoga.

24. But when the way and the place which the Lord your God will have chosen is further away, and he will have blessed you, so that you are not able to carry all these things to it,

24. Bude li ti put predug te ne mogneš donijeti desetine - jer je mjesto što ga Jahve odabere da u njemu nastani svoje ime previše daleko od tebe - tada, kad te Jahve, Bog tvoj, blagoslovi,

25. you shall sell them all, so as to turn them into money, and you shall carry it in your hand, and you shall set out for the place which the Lord will choose.

25. prodaj to za novac, uzmi novac u ruku pa idi u mjesto što ga odabere Jahve, Bog tvoj.

26. And you shall buy with the same money whatever pleases you, either from the herds or from the sheep, and also wine and liquor, and all that your soul desires. And you shall eat in the sight of the Lord your God, and you shall feast: you and your household.

26. Ondje za novac kupi što želiš: goveèe, sitno živinèe, vino ili opojno piæe - što god ti duša zaželi. Ondje u nazoènosti Jahve, Boga svoga, blaguj i veseli se ti i tvoji ukuæani.

27. As for the Levite, who is within your gates, take care that you do not abandon him, for he has no other portion within your possession.

27. Ne zanemaruj levita koji bude u tvojim gradovima, jer on nema udjela ni baštine s tobom.

28. In the third year, you shall separate another tenth part of all the things which spring forth for you at that time, and you shall store it within your gates.

28. Na kraju svake treæe godine iznesi svu desetinu svoga prihoda od te godine i položi je na svoja vrata.

29. And the Levite, who has no other portion or possession with you, and the sojourner as well as the orphan and the widow who are within your gates, shall approach and eat and be satisfied, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your hands which you shall do.”

29. Pa neka doðe levit - jer nema udjela ni baštine s tobom - došljak, sirota i udovica koji budu živjeli u tvom gradu i neka jedu i neka se nasite. Tako æe te blagoslivljati Jahve, Bog tvoj, u svim poslovima što ih tvoja ruka poduzme.
