Deuteronomy 19
1 When the nations, whose land the Lord your God is giving you, have been cut off by him, and you have taken their place and are living in their towns and in their houses;
Kad Gospod Bog tvoj potre narode kojih zemlju daje tebi Gospod Bog tvoj, i kad ih naslijediš i nastaniš se po gradovima njihovijem i po kuæama njihovijem,
2 You are to have three towns marked out in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage.
Odvoj tri grada usred zemlje svoje, koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj da je naslijediš,
3 You are to make ready a way, and see that the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, is marked out into three parts, to which any taker of life may go in flight.
Naèini put, i razdijeli na troje krajeve zemlje svoje, koju ti da Gospod Bog tvoj u našljedstvo, pa neka bježi onamo svaki krvnik.
4 This is to be the rule for anyone who goes in flight there, after causing the death of his neighbour in error and not through hate;
A ovako neka bude s krvnikom koji uteèe onamo, da bi ostao živ: ko ubije bližnjega svojega nehotice, ne mrzivši prije na nj,
5 For example, if a man goes into the woods with his neighbour for the purpose of cutting down trees, and when he takes his axe to give a blow to the tree, the head of the axe comes off, and falling on to his neighbour gives him a wound causing his death; then the man may go in flight to one of these towns and be safe:
Kao kad bi ko otišao s bližnjim svojim u šumu da sijeèe drva, pa bi zamahnuo sjekirom u ruci svojoj da posijeèe drvo, a ona bi spala s držalice i pogodila bi bližnjega njegova tako da umre, on neka uteèe u koji od tijeh gradova da ostane živ,
6 For if not, he who has the right of punishment may go running after the taker of life in the heat of his wrath, and overtake him because the way is long, and give him a death-blow; though it is not right for him to be put to death because he was not moved by hate.
Da ne bi osvetnik potjerao krvnika dok mu je srce raspaljeno, i da ga ne bi stigao na daleku putu i ubio ga, premda nije zaslužio smrti, jer nije prije mrzio na nj.
7 And so I am ordering you to see that three towns are marked out for this purpose.
Zato ti zapovijedam i velim: tri grada odvoj.
8 And if the Lord your God makes wide the limits of your land, as he said in his oath to your fathers, and gives you all the land which he undertook to give to your fathers;
A kad raširi Gospod Bog tvoj meðe tvoje, kao što se zakleo ocima tvojim, i da ti svu zemlju koju je rekao dati ocima tvojim,
9 If you keep and do all these orders which I give you today, loving the Lord your God and walking ever in his ways; then let three more towns, in addition to these three, be marked out for you:
Ako uzdržiš i ustvoriš sve ove zapovijesti, koje ti ja danas zapovijedam, da ljubiš Gospoda Boga svojega i hodiš putovima njegovijem svagda, onda dodaj još tri grada osim ona tri,
10 So that in all your land, which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, no man may be wrongly put to death, for which you will be responsible.
Da se ne proljeva krv prava u zemlji tvojoj, koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje u našljedstvo, i da ne bude na tebi krv.
11 But if any man has hate for his neighbour, and waiting for him secretly makes an attack on him and gives him a blow causing his death, and then goes in flight to one of these towns;
Ali ako ko mrzi na bližnjega svojega i vreba ga, i skoèi na nj, i udari ga tako da umre, a on uteèe u koji od tijeh gradova,
12 The responsible men of his town are to send and take him, and give him up to the one who has the right of punishment to be put to death.
Onda starješine mjesta njegova neka pošlju i uzmu ga odande, i predadu ga u ruke osvetniku da se pogubi.
13 Have no pity on him, so that Israel may be clear from the crime of putting a man to death without cause, and it will be well for you.
Neka ga ne žali oko tvoje, nego skini krv pravu s Izrailja, da bi ti dobro bilo.
14 Your neighbour's landmark, which was put in its place by the men of old times, is not to be moved or taken away in the land of your heritage which the Lord your God is giving you.
Ne pomièi meðe bližnjega svojega koju postave stari u našljedstvu tvojem koje dobiješ u zemlji koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje da je naslijediš.
15 One witness may not make a statement against a man in relation to any sin or wrongdoing which he has done: on the word of two or three witnesses a question is to be judged.
Neka ne ustaje jedan svjedok na èovjeka ni za kako zlo i ni za kakav grijeh izmeðu svijeh grijeha koji se èine, nego na rijeèima dva ili tri svjedoka da ostaje stvar.
16 If a false witness makes a statement against a man, saying that he has done wrong,
Ako bi ustao lažan svjedok na koga da svjedoèi na njega da se odmeæe Boga,
17 Then the two men, between whom the argument has taken place, are to come before the Lord, before the priests and judges who are then in power;
Onda neka stanu ta dva èovjeka, koji imaju tu raspru, pred Gospoda, pred sveštenike i pred sudije koje budu u to vrijeme;
18 And the judges will have the question looked into with care: and if the witness is seen to be false and to have made a false statement against his brother,
I neka dobro ispitaju sudije; ako svjedok onaj bude lažan svjedok i lažno svjedoèi na brata svojega,
19 Then do to him what it was his purpose to do to his brother: and so put away the evil from among you.
Uèinite mu onako kako je on mislio uèiniti bratu svojemu; i izvadi zlo iz sebe,
20 And the rest of the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear, and never again do such evil among you.
Da se ostali èuvši to boje, i unapredak više ne èine tako zlo usred tebe.
21 Have no pity; let life be given for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Neka ne žali oko tvoje: život za život, oko za oko, zub za zub, ruku za ruku, nogu za nogu.
