Leviticus, 20

1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

1. Jahve reèe Mojsiju:

2. You shall speak these things to the sons of Israel: A man among the sons Israel, or among the newcomers who live in Israel, if he will have given from his seed to the idol Moloch, he shall be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him.

2. "Kaži Izraelcima: 'Tko god, Izraelac, ili stranac koji živi s Izraelcima, ustupi svoje èedo Moleku, mora se smaknuti; narod zemlje neka ga kamenuje.

3. And I will set my face against him. And I will cut him down from the midst of his people, because he has given from his seed to Moloch, and he has contaminated my Sanctuary, and polluted my holy name.

3. Ja æu se okrenuti protiv toga èovjeka i odstraniti ga iz njegova naroda, jer je on, ustupivši svoje èedo Moleku, okaljao moje Svetište i obešèastio moje sveto ime.

4. But if the people of the land, having been neglectful and holding little regard for my authority, release the man who has given from his seed to Moloch, and they are not willing to kill him,

4. A ako narod zatvori svoje oèi nad tim èovjekom kad svoje èedo ustupi Moleku te ga ne smakne,

5. I will set my face over that man and over his kindred, and I will cut down both him and all who consented with him to fornicate with Moloch, from the midst of their people.

5. ja æu se suprotstaviti tome èovjeku i njegovoj obitelji; odstranit æu ih iz njihova naroda, njega i sve koji poslije njega poðu za Molekom da se podaju bludu s Molekom.

6. The soul who will have turned aside to astrologers and soothsayers, and who will have fornicated with them, I will set my face against him, and I will destroy him from the midst of his people.

6. Ako se tko obrati na zazivaèe duhova i vraèare da se za njima poda javnom bludu, ja æu se okrenuti protiv takva èovjeka i odstranit æu ga iz njegova naroda.

7. Be sanctified and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.

7. Posveæujte se da budete sveti! TÓa ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.

8. Observe my precepts, and do them. I am the Lord, who sanctifies you.

8. Držite moje zakone i vršite ih. Ja, Jahve, posveæujem vas'."

9. Whoever curses his father or mother shall die a death; he has cursed his father and mother. So let his blood be upon him.

9. "Tko god prokune svoga oca i svoju majku, neka se smakne. Jer je oca svoga i majku svoju prokleo, neka njegova krv padne na nj.

10. If anyone will have committed sexual acts with the wife of another, or will have perpetrated adultery with his neighbor’s spouse, they shall die a death, both the adulterer and the adulteress.

11. Whoever will have slept with his stepmother, or will have uncovered the shame of his father, they shall both die a death. So let their blood be upon them.

11. Èovjek koji bi legao sa ženom svoga oca - otkrio bi golotinju svoga oca - neka se oboje kazne smræu, krv njihova neka padne na njih.

12. If any man will have slept with his daughter-in-law, both shall die, for they have acted according to wickedness. So let their blood be upon them.

12. Legne li tko sa svojom snahom, neka se oboje kazne smræu. Uèinili su rodoskvrnuæe i neka krv njihova padne na njih.

13. If any man has slept with a male in place of sexual intercourse with a female, both have committed a nefarious act, they shall die a death. So let their blood be upon them.

13. Ako bi muškarac legao s muškarcem kao što se liježe sa ženom, obojica bi poèinila odvratno djelo. Neka se smaknu i krv njihova neka padne na njih.

14. If any man, having taken the daughter as a wife, will have married her mother, he has acted according to wickedness. He shall be burnt alive with them. Neither shall so great a nefarious act persist in your midst.

14. Èovjek koji se oženi kæerju i njezinom majkom - krajnja je to pokvarenost! - neka se u vatri spali i on i one, da meðu vama ne bude pokvarenosti.

16. Ako bi se žena primakla bilo kakvoj životinji da se s njom pari, ubij i ženu i životinju. Neka se smaknu i njihova krv neka padne na njih.

17. Whoever will have taken his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother, and will have seen her nakedness, and she will have looked upon her brother’s shame, they have committed a nefarious act. They shall be slain in the sight of their people, because they have uncovered one another’s nakedness. And they shall bear their iniquity.

17. Èovjek koji bi se oženio svojom sestrom, kæerju svoga oca ili kæerju svoje majke te vidio njezinu golotinju, a ona vidjela njegovu - pogrdno je to djelo! - neka se istrijebe pred oèima naroda. Otkrio je golotinju svoje sestre, pa neka snosi i posljedice svoje krivnje.

18. Whoever has sexual intercourse with a woman in her menstrual flow, and has uncovered her nakedness, and she has opened the fountain of her blood, both shall be destroyed from the midst of their people.

18. Èovjek koji bi legao sa ženom za njezina mjeseènog pranja te otkrio njezinu golotinju - razgolio izvor njezine krvi i ona sama otkrila izvor svoje krvi - neka se oboje odstrane iz svoga naroda.

19. You shall not expose the nakedness of your maternal or paternal aunt. Whoever does this has laid bare the shame of his own flesh; both shall bear their iniquity.

19. Ne otkrivaj golotinje sestre svoje majke niti sestre svoga oca - to je otkrivanje golotinje svoga roda, neka snose posljedice svoje krivnje.

20. If any man has had sexual intercourse with the wife of his paternal or maternal uncle, and he has uncovered the shame of his close relative, both shall bear their sin. They shall die without children.

20. Èovjek koji bi legao sa svojom strinom otkrio bi golotinju svoga strica. Neka snose posljedice svoga grijeha: neka umru bez poroda.

21. Whoever will have married his brother’s wife has done an unlawful thing; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be without children.

21. Èovjek koji bi se oženio ženom svoga brata - golotinju bi svoga brata otkrio - i to je neèisto. Neka ostanu bez poroda."

22. Observe my laws as well as my judgments, and act according to them, lest the land, into which you will enter and live, may vomit you out, too.

22. "Zato držite sve moje zakone, sve moje naredbe i vršite ih da vas ne ispljune zemlja u koju vas vodim da se u njoj nastanite.

23. Do not be willing to walk by the ordinances of the nations, which I will expel before you. For they have done all these things, and so I abominate them.

23. Nemojte živjeti po zakonima naroda koje ja ispred vas tjeram. TÓa oni su èinili sve to, i zato mi se zgadili.

24. But I say to you: Possess their land, which I will give to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from the other peoples.

24. A vama sam ja rekao: vi æete zaposjesti njihovu zemlju; vama æu je predati u posjed - zemlju kojom teèe mlijeko i med. Ja sam Jahve, vaš Bog, koji sam vas odvojio od tih naroda.

25. Therefore, you must also separate the clean animals from the unclean, and the clean birds from the unclean. Do not pollute your souls with cattle, or birds, or anything that moves upon the earth, and which I have shown you to be unclean.

25. Pravite, dakle, razliku izmeðu èiste životinje i neèiste; izmeðu èiste ptice i neèiste. Nemojte sami sebe opoganjivati ni životinjom, ni pticom, ni bilo èim što zemljom puže: što sam vam ja odluèio kao neèisto.

26. You shall be holy unto me, because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples, so that you would be mine.

26. Budite mi dakle sveti, jer sam ja, Jahve, svet; ja sam vas odvojio od tih naroda da budete moji.

27. A man or a woman, in whom there is an oracle-like or a divining spirit, shall be put to death. They shall stone them. So let their blood be upon them.

27. Èovjek ili žena koji meðu vama postanu zazivaèi duhova ili vraèari neka se kazne smræu; neka se kamenuju i neka njihova krv padne na njih."
