Izlazak 23
1 “Nemojte davati lažne izjave! Ne pomaži zlikovcu svjedočeći krivo!
You must not give a false report about anyone. Do not join with a wicked man to be a dishonest witness.
2 Ne povodi se za mnoštvom da činiš zlo; niti svjedoči u parnici stajući na stranu većine protiv pravde.
You must not follow a crowd to do evil, nor may you bear witness while siding with the crowd in order to pervert justice.
3 Ne smiješ biti pristran prema siromahu u njegovoj parnici.
You must not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.
4 Kad nabasaš na zalutalo goveče ili magare svoga neprijatelja, moraš mu ga natrag dovesti.
If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you must bring it back to him.
5 Ako opaziš magarca onoga koji te mrzi kako je pao pod svojim tovarom, nemoj ga ostaviti: zajedno s njegovim gospodarom moraš mu pomoći da se digne.
If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen to the ground under its load, you must not leave that person. You must surely help him with his donkey.
6 Ne krnji prava svome siromahu u njegovoj parnici.
Do not thrust aside justice for your poor in his lawsuit.
7 Stoj daleko od lažne optužbe; ne ubijaj nedužna i pravedna, jer ja zlikovcu ne praštam.
Do not join others in making false accusations, and do not kill the innocent or righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked.
8 Ne primaj mita, jer mito zasljepljuje i one koji najjasnije gledaju i upropašćuje pravo pravednika.
Never take a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see, and perverts honest people's words.
9 Ne ugnjetavaj pridošlicu! TÓa znate kako je pridošlici; i sami ste bili pridošlice u zemlji egipatskoj.”
You must not oppress a foreigner, since you know the life of a foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
10 “Šest godina zasijavaj svoju zemlju i njezine plodove pobiri,
For six years you will sow seed on your land and gather in its produce.
11 a sedme je godine pusti da počiva neobrađena. Neka se s nje hrani sirotinja tvoga naroda, a što njoj ostane, neka pojede poljska živina. Radi tako i sa svojim vinogradom i svojim maslinikom.
But in the seventh year you will leave it unplowed and fallow, so that the poor among your people may eat. What they leave, the wild animals will eat. You will do the same with your vineyards and olive orchards.
12 Šest dana obavljaj svoj posao, ali sedmoga dana od posala odustani, da ti otpočine vo i magarac i da odahne sin tvoje sluškinje i pridošlica.
During six days you will do your work, but on the seventh day you must rest. Do this so that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and so that your female slave's son and any foreigner may rest and be refreshed.
13 Pripazite na sve što sam vam rekao. Ne spominjite imena drugih bogova. Neka se to i ne čuje iz tvojih usta.”
Pay attention to everything that I have said to you. Do not mention the names of other gods, nor let their names be heard from your mouth.
14 “Triput na godinu održavaj u moju čast svetkovinu.
You must travel to hold a festival for me three times every year.
15 Slavi Blagdan beskvasnoga kruha. U određeno vrijeme u mjesecu Abibu - jer si u njemu iz Egipta izišao - sedam dana jedi beskvasan kruh, kako sam ti naredio. Neka nitko ne stupa preda me praznih ruku!
You are to observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you will eat unleavened bread for seven days. At that time, you will appear before me in the month of Aviv, which is fixed for this purpose. It was in this month that you came out from Egypt. But you must not appear before me empty-handed.
16 Onda slavi Blagdan žetve - prvina što ih donose polja koja zasijavaš. Zatim Blagdan berbe na koncu godine, kad s polja pokupiš plodove svoga truda.
You must observe the Festival of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors when you sowed seed in the fields. Also you must observe the Festival of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in your produce from the fields.
17 Triput na godinu neka svi tvoji muški stupe pred Gospodara Jahvu.
All your males must appear before the Lord Yahweh three times every year.
18 Krv žrtve koju u moju čast žrtvuješ nemoj prinositi s ukvasanim kruhom; salo od žrtve prinesene na moju svetkovinu ne ostavljaj za sutradan.
You must not offer the blood from sacrifices made to me with bread containing yeast. The fat from the sacrifices at my festivals must not remain all night until the morning.
19 Donosi u kuću Jahve, svoga Boga, najbolje prvine sa svoje zemlje. Ne kuhaj kozleta u mlijeku njegove majke.”
You must bring the choicest firstfruits from your land into my house, the house of Yahweh your God. You must not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.
20 “Šaljem, evo, svog anđela pred tobom da te čuva na putu i dovede te u mjesto koje sam priredio.
I am going to send an angel before you to guard you on the way, and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.
21 Poštuj ga i slušaj! Ne buni se protiv njega, jer vam neće opraštati prekršaje: tÓa moje je ime u njemu.
Be attentive to him and obey him. Do not provoke him, for he will not pardon your transgressions. My name is on him.
22 Ako mu se budeš vjerno pokoravao i budeš vršio sve što sam naredio, ja ću biti neprijatelj tvojim neprijateljima i protivnik tvojim protivnicima.
If you indeed obey his voice and do everything that I tell you, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
23 Anđeo će moj ići pred tobom i dovesti te do Amorejaca, Hetita, Perižana, Kanaanaca, Hivijaca i Jebusejaca da ih uništim.
My angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and the Jebusites. I will destroy them.
24 Nemoj se klanjati njihovim kumirima niti im iskazuj štovanje; ne postupaj kako oni rade nego njihove kumire poruši i stupove im porazbijaj.
You must not bow down to their gods, worship them, or do as they do. Instead, you must completely overthrow them and smash their stone pillars in pieces.
25 Iskazujte štovanje Jahvi, Bogu svome, pa ću blagoslivati tvoj kruh i tvoju vodu i uklanjati od tebe bolest.
You must worship Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and water. I will remove sickness from among you.
26 U tvojoj zemlji neće biti pometkinje; ja ću učiniti punim broj tvojih dana.
No woman will be barren or will miscarry her young in your land. I will give you long lives.
27 Pred tobom ću odaslati stravu svoju; u metež ću baciti sav svijet među koji dospiješ i učinit ću da svi tvoji neprijatelji bježe pred tobom.
I will send fear of myself on those into whose land you advance. I will kill all the people whom you meet. I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you in fright.
28 Stršljene ću pred tobom odašiljati da ispred tebe tjeraju u bijeg Hivijce, Kanaance i Hetite.
I will send hornets before you that will drive out the Hivites, Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you.
29 Neću ih otjerati ispred tebe u jednoj godini, da zemlja ne opusti i divlje se životinje ne razmnože na tvoju štetu.
I will not drive them out from before you in one year, or the land would become abandoned, and the wild animals would become too many for you.
30 Tjerat ću ih ispred tebe malo-pomalo dok ti potomstvo ne odraste, tako da zemlju zaposjedneš.
Instead, I will drive them out little by little from before you until you become fruitful and inherit the land.
31 Postavit ću ti granicu: od Crvenoga do Filistejskoga mora, od pustinje pa do Rijeke. Predat ću, naime, stanovništvo zemlje u tvoje šake, a ti ga ispred sebe tjeraj.
I will fix your borders from the Sea of Reeds to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River. I will give you victory over the land's inhabitants. You will drive them out before yourselves.
32 Ne pravi savez ni s njima ni s njihovim kumirima.
You must not make a covenant with them or with their gods.
33 Neka ne ostanu u tvojoj zemlji da te ne navode na grijeh protiv mene. Ako bi štovao njihove kumire, to bi ti bila stupica.”
They must not live in your land, or they would make you sin against me. If you worship their gods, this will surely become a trap for you.'”
