Deuteronomy, 23

1. “A eunuch, one whose testicles have been debilitated or cut off, or whose penis has been cut off, shall not enter into the church of the Lord.

1. Neka se nitko ne ženi ženom oca svoga i neka ne odgræe oèeva pokrivaèa.

2. The offspring of a harlot, that is, one born of a prostitute, shall not enter into the church of the Lord, until the tenth generation.

2. Neka se u Jahvinu zajednicu ne prima onaj komu je stuèena mošnjica ili odrezano udo.

3. The Ammonite and the Moabite, even after the tenth generation, shall not enter into the church of the Lord forever,

3. Ni mješanac neka se ne prima u Jahvinu zajednicu; neka se njegovi ne primaju u zajednicu Jahvinu ni do desetog koljena.

4. because they were not willing to meet you with bread and water along the way, when you had departed from Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam, the son of Beor, from Mesopotamia in Syria, in order to curse you.

4. Neka ne ulazi u Jahvinu zajednicu ni Amonac ni Moabac; nitko od njihovih, èak ni u deseto koljeno, ne smije nikad u zajednicu Jahvinu.

5. But the Lord your God was not willing to listen to Balaam, and he turned his cursing into your blessing, because he loves you.

5. A sve zato što nisu izašli pred vas s kruhom i vodom kad bijaste na putu izišavši iz Egipta; i što su za novce najmili sina Beorova, Bileama iz Petora u Aram Naharajimu, da te prokune.

6. You shall not make peace with them, nor shall you seek their prosperity, throughout all the days of your life forever.

6. Ali Jahve, Bog tvoj, ne htjede uslišati Bileama nego ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, prometnu prokletstvo u blagoslov jer te ljubi Jahve, Bog tvoj.

7. You shall not abhor anyone from Idumea, for he is your brother, nor the Egyptian, for you were a new arrival in his land.

7. Nikad ne promièi njihovo blagostanje i njihovo dobro u sve dane svoje dovijeka.

8. Those who have been born of them, in the third generation, shall enter into the church of the Lord.

8. Nemoj prezirati Edomca, jer je on brat tvoj. Ne preziri ni Egipæanina, jer si bio došljak u zemlji njegovoj.

9. When you have gone out to war against your enemies, you shall keep yourself from everything that is evil.

9. Njihovi potomci u treæem naraštaju mogu se primiti u Jahvinu zajednicu.

10. If there is a man among you who has been defiled by a dream in the night, he shall depart from the camp.

10. Kad poðeš s taborom na svoje neprijatelje, èuvaj se od svakoga zla.

11. And he shall not return before the evening, after he has washed with water, and then, after the sun sets, he shall return to the camp.

11. Ako je meðu tvojima tko postao neèist zbog noænog izljeva, neka iziðe iz tabora i neka se ne vraæa u nj.

12. You shall have a place beyond the camp to which you may go for the necessities of nature,

12. A predveèer neka se u vodi opere te u smiraje može opet u tabor.

13. carrying a small shovel at your belt. And when you would sit down, you shall dig around, and then, with the soil that was dug up, you shall cover

13. Imaj izvan tabora mjesto gdje æeš iæi napolje.

14. that from which you were relieved. For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, in order to rescue you, and to deliver your enemies to you. And so, let your camp be holy, and let nothing filthy appear within it, lest he abandon you.

14. Sa svojom opremom nosi i lopaticu: njome æeš, kad ideš napolje, iskopati rupu i poslije zatrpati svoju neèist.

15. You shall not deliver a servant who has fled to you to his master.

15. TÓa Jahve, Bog tvoj, ide posred tvoga tabora da te štiti i da ti predaje neprijatelje. Stoga i tvoj tabor treba da bude svet: neka Jahve ne zapazi u tebe ništa nedolièno, da se ne bi odvratio od tebe.

16. He shall live with you in a place that pleases him, and he shall rest in one of your cities. You shall not grieve him.

16. Ne smiješ gospodaru izruèivati roba koji je od svoga gospodara utekao k tebi.

17. There shall be no prostitutes among the daughters of Israel, nor anyone among the sons of Israel who visits a prostitute.

17. Neka boravi s tobom u tvojoj sredini, u mjestu što ga odabere u jednome od tvojih gradova gdje mu se svidi. Nemoj s njime loše postupati.

18. You shall not offer money from a prostitute, nor the price of a dog, in the house of the Lord your God, no matter what you may have vowed. For both of these are an abomination with the Lord your God.

18. Neka ne bude svetišne bludnice meðu izraelskim kæerima i neka ne bude svetišnog bludnika meðu izraelskim sinovima!

19. You shall not lend money, or grain, or anything else at all, to your brother at interest,

19. Ne donosi u Dom Jahve, Boga svoga, ni za kakav zavjet bludnièine plaæe ni pasjeg novca, jer je oboje odvratno Jahvi, Bogu tvome.

20. but only to a foreigner. For you shall lend to your brother whatever he needs without interest, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all your works in the land, which you shall enter so as to possess it.

20. Ne traži kamata od svoga brata, niti kamata za novac, niti kamata na jestvine, niti kamata na bilo što gdje se obièno traže.

21. When you have made a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not be late in paying it. For the Lord your God demands it. And if you delay, it shall be imputed to you as a sin.

21. Od tuðinca možeš tražiti kamate, ali ih od svoga brata nemoj tražiti, da ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, udijeli blagoslov u svakom pothvatu tvoje ruke u zemlji u koju ideš da je zaposjedneš.

22. If you are not willing to make a promise, then it shall be without sin.

22. Kad zavjetuješ kakav zavjet Jahvi, Bogu svome, ne oklijevaj da ga ispuniš. Zacijelo æe ga Jahve, Bog tvoj, od tebe tražiti; i bio bi ti grijeh.

23. But as soon as it has departed from your lips, you shall observe and do just as you have promised to the Lord your God and just as you have spoken by your own free will and with your own mouth.

23. Ako se ne zavjetuješ, neæe ti biti grijeh.

24. Upon entering your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat as many grapes as you please. But you may not carry any out with you.

24. Ali ispuni ono što prijeðe preko tvojih usana, zavjet koji si svojim ustima slobodno uèinio Jahvi, Bogu svome.

25. If you enter into your friend’s grain field, you may break off the ears, and rub them in your hand, but you may not reap them with a sickle.”

25. Ako uðeš u vinograd svoga susjeda, slobodno ti je zobati grožða do mile volje, ali u svoj sud ne smiješ stavljati.

26.

26. Ako uðeš u žito svoga susjeda, možeš kidati klasove rukom, ali ne smiješ prinositi srpa susjedovu žitu.
