Deuteronomy 13

1 And if there arise within thee a prophet, or one who dreams a dream, and he gives thee a sign or a wonder,

Ako se u tvojoj sredini pojavi kakav prorok ili čovjek sa snoviđenjima pa ti iznese kakvo znamenje ili čudo;

2 and the sign or the wonder come to pass which he spoke to thee, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye know not;

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

3 ye shall not hearken to the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of that dream, because the Lord thy God tries you, to know whether ye love your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

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

4 Ye shall follow the Lord your God, and fear him, and ye shall hear his voice, and attach yourselves to him.

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

5 And that prophet or that dreamer of a dream, shall die; for he has spoken to make thee err from the Lord thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, who redeemed thee from bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the Lord thy God commanded thee to walk in: so shalt thou abolish the evil from among you.

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

6 And if thy brother by thy father or mother, or thy son, or daughter, or thy wife in thy bosom, or friend who is equal to thine own soul, entreat thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known,

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

7 of the gods of the nations that are round about you, who are near thee or at a distance from thee, from one end of the earth to the other;

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

8 thou shalt not consent to him, neither shalt thou hearken to him; and thine eye shall not spare him, thou shalt feel no regret for him, neither shalt thou at all protect him:

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

9 thou shalt surely report concerning him, and thy hands shall be upon him among the first to slay him, and the hands of all the people at the last.

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

10 And they shall stone him with stones, and he shall die, because he sought to draw thee away from the Lord thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

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

11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not again do according to this evil thing among you.

Sav će se Izrael, kad to čuje, napuniti strahom te više neće počinjati takva zla u tvojoj sredini.

12 And if in one of thy cities which the Lord God gives thee to dwell therein, thou shalt hear men saying,

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

13 Evil men have gone out from you, and have caused all the inhabitants of their land to fall away, saying, Let us go and worship other gods, whom ye knew not,

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

14 then thou shalt enquire and ask, and search diligently, and behold, [if] the thing is clearly true, and this abomination has taken place among you,

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

15 thou shalt utterly destroy all the dwellers in that land with the edge of the sword; ye shall solemnly curse it, and all things in it.

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

16 And all its spoils thou shalt gather into its public ways, and thou shalt burn the city with fire, and all its spoils publicly before the Lord thy God; and it shall be uninhabited for ever, it shall not be built again.

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.

17 And there shall nothing of the cursed thing cleave to thy hand, that the Lord may turn from his fierce anger, and shew thee mercy, and pity thee, and multiply thee, as he sware to thy fathers;

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

18 if thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments, all that I charge thee this day, to do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord thy God.

ako ti budeš slušao glas Jahve, Boga svoga, držeći sve njegove zapovijedi koje ti danas naređujem i vršeći što je pravo u očima Jahve, Boga tvoga.
