Deuteronomy 16

1 Observe the month Abib, and keep the passover to the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth from Egypt by night.

Drži mjesec Abib i slavi Pashu u čast Jahvi, Bogu svome, jer te Jahve, Bog tvoj, u mjesecu Abibu izveo noću iz Egipta.

2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover to the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.

Kao pashu u čast Jahvi, Bogu svome, žrtvuj ovce i goveda u mjestu koje Jahve odabere da u njemu nastani ime svoje.

3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread with it, [even] the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth from the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth from the land of Egypt, all the days of thy life.

Ništa ukvasano nemoj s njome jesti; nego sedam dana jedi beskvasan kruh - kruh nevoljnički - budući da si u žurbi izišao iz zemlje egipatske: da se svega svog vijeka sjećaš dana kad si izišao iz zemlje egipatske.

4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy borders seven days; neither shall there [any thing] of the flesh, which thou didst sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.

Neka se sedam dana u tebe ne vidi kvasac na svemu tvome području i ništa od mesa žrtve što je zakolješ navečer prvoga dana ne smije ostati preko noći do jutra.

5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Nije ti dopušteno žrtvovati pashu u bilo kojem gradu što ti ga dadne Jahve, Bog tvoj,

6 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at evening, at the setting of the sun, at the time of thy departure from Egypt.

nego u mjestu koje odabere Jahve, Bog tvoj, da ondje nastani ime svoje; samo tu žrtvuj pashu u predvečerje, o zalasku sunca, jer u to si vrijeme izišao iz Egipta.

7 And thou shalt roast and eat [it] in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go to thy tents.

Skuhaj je i pojedi na mjestu koje odabere Jahve, Bog tvoj. Ujutro se onda okreni i zaputi svojim šatorima.

8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day [shall be] a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt do no work.

Šest dana jedi beskvasan kruh, a sedmoga dana neka bude svečani zbor u čast Jahvi, Bogu tvome. Posla nikakva ne radi!

9 Seven weeks shalt thou number to thee: begin to number the seven weeks from [the time when] thou beginnest [to put] the sickle to the corn.

Nabroj sedam tjedana; a tih sedam tjedana uzmi brojiti kad srp počne žeti klasje.

10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks to the LORD thy God with a tribute of a free-will-offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give [to the LORD thy God], according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:

Tada drži Blagdan sedmica u čast Jahvi, Bogu svome, prinoseći dragovoljni prinos iz svoje ruke, kako te već Jahve, Bog tvoj, bude blagoslovio.

11 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that [is] within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.

I proveseli se tada u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga - na mjestu što ga Jahve, Bog tvoj, odabere da ondje nastani ime svoje - ti, sin tvoj i kći tvoja, sluga tvoj i sluškinja tvoja, levit koji bude u tvome gradu, došljak, sirota i udovica što budu kod tebe.

12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bond-man in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.

Sjećaj se da si i sam bio rob u Egiptu. Zato drži i vrši ove uredbe.

13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn, and thy wine.

Blagdan sjenica slavi sedam dana pošto pokupiš plodove sa svoga gumna i iz svoga badnja.

14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] within thy gates:

Proveseli se na svoj blagdan ti, sin tvoj, kći tvoja, sluga tvoj, sluškinja tvoja, levit i došljak, sirota i udovica što se nađe u tvome gradu.

15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast to the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy increase, and in all the works of thy hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.

Svetkuj u čast Jahvi, Bogu svome, sedam dana na mjestu koje odabere Jahve, jer će te Jahve, Bog tvoj, blagoslovom obasipati u svim tvojim žetvama, u svakom poslu ruku tvojih, da budeš potpuno veseo.

16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:

Triput u godini neka se pokažu svi tvoji muškarci pred Jahvom, Bogom tvojim, na mjestu koje on odabere: na Blagdan beskvasnog kruha, na Blagdan sedmica i na Blagdan sjenica. Ali neka nitko ne dođe pred Jahvu praznih ruku,

17 Every man [shall give] as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.

nego neka svatko prinese što može, prema blagoslovu koji ti je udijelio Jahve, Bog tvoj.

18 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.

U svakom gradu koji ti dade Jahve, Bog tvoj, postavi suce i nadglednike za svoja plemena da narodom pravedno upravljaju.

19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift; for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

Ne iskrivljuj pravde; ne budi pristran; ne primaj mita, jer mito zasljepljuje oči mudrih, a ugrožava stvar pravednih.

20 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Teži za samom pravdom, da dugo živiš i zaposjedneš zemlju koju ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, daje.

21 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near to the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make for thee.

Ne postavljaj ašere ni od kakva drveta oko žrtvenika Jahve, Boga svoga, koji podigneš;

22 Neither shalt thou set thee up [any] image; which the LORD thy God hateth.

i ne podiži stupova, jer su na zazor Jahvi, Bogu tvome.
