Deuteronomy, 24

1. “If a man takes a wife, and he has her, and she does not find favor before his eyes because of some vileness, then he shall write a bill of divorce, and he shall give it to her hand, and he shall dismiss her from his house.

1. Kada tko uzme ženu i s njome postupi kao muž, a potom na njoj otkrije što ružno te ona više ne nalazi milosti u njegovim oèima i on joj napiše otpusno pismo, uruèi joj ga i potjera je iz svoje kuæe,

2. And when, having departed, she has married another,

2. a ona izaðe iz njegove kuæe, ode i poðe za drugoga

3. and if he likewise hates her, and has given her a bill of divorce, and has dismissed her from his house, or if indeed he has died,

3. pa omrzne i tome drugomu te joj i on napiše otpusno pismo, uruèi joj ga i otjera je iz svoje kuæe - ili pak umre taj koji ju je drugi uzeo -

4. then the former husband cannot take her back as a wife. For she has been polluted and has become abominable in the sight of the Lord. Otherwise, you may cause your land, which the Lord your God will deliver to you as a possession, to sin.

4. tada je, pošto se tako oskvrnula, ne može opet uzeti za ženu onaj prvi muž koji je bijaše otpustio. Bilo bi to odvratno pred Jahvom; ne smiješ uvaljivati u grijeh zemlju koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje u baštinu.

5. When a man has recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, nor shall any public office be enjoined upon him. Instead, he shall be free at home without guilt, so that for one year he may rejoice with his wife.

5. Kad se tko netom oženi, neka ne ide u vojsku; neka mu se ne dodjeljuje nikakva služba, nego, osloboðen, neka ostane kod kuæe godinu dana da razveseljuje ženu koju je doveo.

6. You shall not accept an upper or lower millstone as collateral. For then he will have placed his life with you.

6. Neka se ne uzima u zalog žrvanj, ni gornji ni donji: tÓa time bi se u zalog uzimao sam život.

7. If a man has been caught soliciting his brother among the sons of Israel, and selling him in order to receive a price, then he shall be put to death. And so shall you take away the evil from your midst.

7. Ako se naðe tko da otme koga izmeðu svoje braæe Izraelaca te postupi s njim kao s robom ili ga proda, taj otmièar neka se smakne! Tako æeš iskorijeniti zlo iz svoje sredine.

8. Observe diligently, lest you incur the wound of leprosy. But you shall do whatever the priests of the Levitical stock shall teach you to do, according to what I have instructed them. And you shall fulfill it carefully.

8. Javi li se guba, pazi da brižno držiš i vršiš sve što vas pouèe levitski sveæenici. Držite i vršite što njima naredim.

9. Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam, along the way, as you were departing from Egypt.

9. Sjeæaj se što je Jahve, Bog tvoj, uèinio Mirjami na putu kad ste izišli iz Egipta.

10. When you require from your neighbor anything that he owes to you, you shall not enter into his house in order to take away the collateral.

10. Kada bližnjemu svome daješ bilo kakav zajam, nemoj ulaziti u njegovu kuæu da mu uzmeš zalog.

11. Instead, you shall stand outside, and he will carry out to you what he has.

11. Stoj vani, a èovjek komu si dao zajam neka ti iznese zalog van.

12. But if he is poor, then the collateral shall not remain with you through the night.

12. A ako on bude siromah, nemoj lijegati s njegovim zalogom;

13. Instead, you shall return it to him promptly, before the setting of the sun, so that, sleeping in his own garment, he may bless you, and you may have justice in the presence of the Lord your God.

13. o zalasku sunca moraš mu vratiti zalog da on mogne spavati u svome ogrtaèu i tebe blagoslivljati. To æe ti biti dobro djelo pred Jahvom, Bogom tvojim.

14. You shall not refuse the pay of the indigent and the poor, whether he is your brother, or he is a new arrival who dwells with you in the land and is within your gates.

14. Nemoj zakidati jadnoga i bijednog najamnika, bio on tvoj sunarodnjak ili došljak iz kojega grada u tvojoj zemlji.

15. Instead, you shall pay him the price of his labor on the same day, before the setting of the sun. For he is poor, and with it he sustains his life. Otherwise, he may cry out against you to the Lord, and it would be charged to you as a sin.

15. Svaki dan daj mu zaradu prije nego sunce zaðe, jer je siromah i za njom uzdiše. Tako neæe na te vapiti Jahvi i neæeš sagriješiti.

16. The fathers shall not be put to death on behalf of the sons, nor the sons on behalf of the fathers, but each one shall die for his own sin.

16. Neka se oèevi ne osuðuju na smrt zbog sinova ni sinovi zbog oèeva; neka svatko za svoj grijeh gine.

17. You shall not pervert the judgment of the new arrival or the orphan, nor shall you take away the widow’s garment as collateral.

17. Ne izvræi pravice došljaku ni siroti i ne uzimaj u zalog haljine udovici.

18. Remember that you served in Egypt, and that the Lord your God rescued you from there. Therefore, I am instructing you to act in this way.

18. Sjeæaj se da si bio rob u Egiptu i da te odande izbavio Jahve, Bog tvoj; zato ti nalažem da ovu zapovijed vršiš.

19. When you have reaped the grain in your field, and, having forgotten, you leave behind a sheaf, you shall not return to take it away. Instead, you shall permit the new arrival, and the orphan, and the widow to take it away, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your hands.

19. Kad žanješ žito na svojoj njivi pa zaboraviš koji snop na njivi, ne vraæaj se po nj; neka ostane došljaku, siroti i udovici da te Jahve, Bog tvoj, blagoslovi u svakom pothvatu ruku tvojih.

20. If you have gathered the fruit of your olive trees, you shall not return in order to gather whatever may remain on the trees. Instead, you shall leave it behind for the new arrival, the orphan, and the widow.

20. Kad jednom omlatiš svoje masline, više iza sebe ne pretražuj; neka to ostane došljaku, siroti i udovici.

21. If you harvest the vintage of your vineyard, you shall not gather the remaining clusters. Instead, they shall fall to the use of the stranger, the orphan, and the widow.

21. Kad obereš svoj vinograd, ne paljetkuj iza sebe; neka to bude za došljaka, sirotu i udovicu.

22. Remember that you also served in Egypt, and so, for this reason, I am instructing you to act in this way.”

22. Sjeæaj se kako si bio rob u zemlji egipatskoj; zato ti nareðujem da ovu zapovijed vršiš.
