Deuteronomy, 13

1. “If there will have arisen in your midst a prophet, or someone who claims that he had seen a dream, and if he will have predicted sign and portent,

1. Sve što vam nareðujem držite; tomu ništa ne domeæi i ništa ne oduzimaj.

2. and if what he has spoken happens, and he says to you, ‘Let us go and follow strange gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let us serve them,’

2. Ako se u tvojoj sredini pojavi kakav prorok ili èovjek sa snoviðenjima pa ti iznese kakvo znamenje ili èudo;

3. you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. For the Lord your God is testing you, so that it may become clear whether or not you love him with all your heart and with all your soul.

3. i to se znamenje ili èudo o kojem ti je govorio ispuni i onda ti on rekne: 'Poðimo sad za drugim bogovima kojih dosad ne poznaješ i njima iskazujmo štovanje',

4. Follow the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and listen to his voice. Him shall you serve, and to him shall you cling.

4. nemoj slušati rijeèi toga proroka ni sne toga sanjaèa: tÓa to vas iskušava Jahve, Bog vaš; hoæe da dozna ljubite li zbilja Jahvu, Boga svoga, svim srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom.

5. But that prophet or forger of dreams shall be put to death. For he has spoken so as to turn you away from the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt and who redeemed you from the house of servitude, and so as to cause you to wander from the way that the Lord your God has entrusted to you. And so shall you remove the evil from your midst.

5. Idite samo za Jahvom, Bogom svojim; njega se bojte; njegove zapovijedi vršite; njegov glas slušajte; njemu štovanje iskazujte; uz njega se priljubite.

6. If your brother, the son of your mother, or your own son or daughter, or your wife who is in your bosom, or your friend, whom you love like your own soul, were willing to persuade you secretly, saying: ‘Let us go, and serve foreign gods,’ which neither you nor your fathers have known,

6. A onaj prorok ili sanjaè neka se pogubi jer je poticao na otpad od Jahve, Boga vašega, koji vas je izveo iz zemlje egipatske i otkupio vas iz kuæe ropstva. Onaj te htio zavesti s puta kojim ti je Jahve, Bog tvoj, naredio da ideš. Tako treba da iskorijeniš zlo iz svoje sredine.

7. gods from any of the surrounding nations, whether these are near or far away, from the beginning even to the end of the earth,

7. Kad bi te brat tvoj, sin majke tvoje, ili sin tvoj vlastiti, kæi tvoja, žena u tvom naruèju ili prijatelj tvoj koji ti je kao i život, potajno zavodio govoreæi: 'Hajde da iskazujemo štovanje drugim bogovima', kojih ne poznaješ ni ti niti su ih poznavali tvoji oci,

8. you should neither agree with him, nor listen to him. And your eye should not spare him so that you take pity on him and conceal him.

8. bogovima onih naroda što oko vas budu, bilo tebi blizu bilo od tebe daleko, od jednoga kraja zemlje do drugoga -

9. Instead, you shall put him to death promptly. Let your hand be upon him first, and after that, let the hands of all the people be sent forth.

9. nemoj pristati niti ga slušaj! Neka ga tvoje oko ne sažaljuje; ne štedi ga i ne sakrivaj ga

10. He shall be killed by being overwhelmed with stones. For he was willing to draw you away from the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude.

10. nego ga ubij! Neka se najprije tvoja ruka digne na nj da ga usmrtiš, a onda ruka svega naroda.

11. So may all of Israel, upon hearing this, be afraid, so that nothing like this will ever be done again.

11. Zaspi ga kamenjem dok ne umre, jer je kušao da te odvrati od Jahve, Boga tvoga, koji te izvede iz zemlje egipatske, iz kuæe ropstva.

12. If, in one of your cities which the Lord your God will give to you as a habitation, you hear someone say:

12. Sav æe se Izrael, kad to èuje, napuniti strahom te više neæe poèinjati takva zla u tvojoj sredini.

13. ‘The sons of Belial have departed from your midst, and they have persuaded the inhabitants of their city, and they have said: “Let us go, and serve strange gods,” ’ which you have not known:

13. Ako u kojem tvome gradu što ti ga Jahve, Bog tvoj, dadne da se u njemu nastaniš, èuješ gdje govore:

14. inquire carefully and diligently, seeking the truth of the matter. And if you find that what was said is certain, and that this abomination is a work which has been perpetrated,

14. 'Pojavile se ništarije iz tvoje sredine i zavedoše žitelje svoga grada kazujuæi: Hajde da služimo drugim bogovima! - kojih vi inaèe ne poznajete -

15. you shall promptly strike down the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword. And you shall destroy it, along with all the things that are in it, even the flocks.

15. tada dobro istraži, raspitaj se i temeljito izvidi. Bude li istina i doista se ta grozota uèinila u tvojoj sredini,

16. Then all the household goods which are there, you shall gather together in the midst of its streets, and you shall set fire to these, along with the city itself, so that you may consume everything for the Lord your God, and so that it may be an everlasting tomb. It shall no longer be built up.

16. onda posijeci oštrim maèem stanovništvo toga grada, izvrši nad njim kleto uništenje i nad svime što bude u njemu.

17. And there shall remain nothing of that anathema in your hand, so that the Lord may turn from the wrath of his fury, and may take pity on you, and may multiply you, just as he swore to your fathers,

17. Snesi onda sav plijen nasred trga te spali grad sa svim plijenom kao paljenicu Jahvi, Bogu svome. Neka zauvijek ostane ruševina i neka se više nikada ne sazida.

18. when you will heed the voice of the Lord your God, keeping all his precepts, which I am entrusting to you this day, so that you may do what is pleasing in the sight of the Lord your God.”

18. Od onoga što je bilo prokletstvom udareno neka ništa ne prione za tvoju ruku, da Jahve odustane od žestine svoga gnjeva; da ti iskaže milosrðe, smiluje ti se i razmnoži te, kako se zakleo tvojim ocima

19.

19. ako ti budeš slušao glas Jahve, Boga svoga, držeæi sve njegove zapovijedi koje ti danas nareðujem i vršeæi što je pravo u oèima Jahve, Boga tvoga.
