Deuteronomy 21

1 If [one] shall be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, [and] it be not known who hath slain him:

Kad se naðe ubijen èovjek u zemlji koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj da je naslijediš, gdje leži u polju, a ne zna se ko ga je ubio,

2 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure to the cities which [are] around him that is slain:

Tada neka izidu starješine tvoje i sudije tvoje, i neka izmjere od ubijenoga do gradova koji su oko njega.

3 And it shall be [that] the city [which is] next to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer which hath not been wrought with, [and] which hath not drawn in the yoke;

Pa koji grad bude najbliže ubijenoga, starješine onoga grada neka uzmu junicu iz goveda, na kojoj se još nije radilo, koja nije vukla u jarmu,

4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a rough valley, which is neither tilled nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley;

I neka odvedu starješine onoga grada tu junicu u pustu dolinu gdje se ne kopa ni sije, i neka zakolju junicu ondje u dolini.

5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near (for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name of the LORD) and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be [tried];

Potom neka pristupe sveštenici, sinovi Levijevi; jer njih izabra Gospod Bog tvoj da mu služe i da blagosiljaju u ime Gospodnje, i na njihovijem rijeèima da ostaje svaka raspra i svaka šteta;

6 And all the elders of that city [that are] next to the slain [man], shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:

I sve starješine onoga grada koji budu najbliže ubijenoga neka operu ruke svoje nad zaklanom junicom u onoj dolini,

7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen [it].

I tvrdeæi neka reku: ruke naše nijesu prolile ove krvi niti su oèi naše vidjele;

8 Be merciful, O LORD, to thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood to the charge of thy people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them.

Milostiv budi narodu svojemu Izrailju, koji si iskupio, Gospode, i ne meæi prave krvi na narod svoj Izrailja. Tako æe se oèistiti od one krvi.

9 So shalt thou remove the [guilt of] innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do [that which is] right in the sight of the LORD.

I ti æeš skinuti pravu krv sa sebe kad uèiniš što je pravo pred Gospodom.

10 When thou goest forth to war against thy enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thy hands, and thou hast taken them captive,

Kad otideš na vojsku na neprijatelje svoje, i preda ih Gospod Bog tvoj u ruke tvoje i zarobiš ih mnogo,

11 And [thou] seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire to her, that thou wouldest have her for thy wife:

I ugledaš u roblju lijepu ženu, i omili ti da bi je htio uzeti za ženu,

12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thy house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails:

Odvedi je kuæi svojoj; i neka obrije glavu svoju i sreže nokte svoje;

13 And she shall put off from her the raiment of her captivity, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that, thou shalt go in to her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.

I neka skine sa sebe haljine svoje u kojima je zarobljena, i neka sjedi u kuæi tvojoj, i žali za ocem svojim i za materom svojom cio mjesec dana; potom lezi s njom, i budi joj muž i ona nek ti bude žena.

14 And it shall be, if thou shalt have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money; thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

Ako ti poslije ne bi bila po volji, pusti je neka ide kuda joj drago, ali nikako da je ne prodaš za novce ni da njom trguješ, jer si je osramotio.

15 If a man shall have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have borne him children, [both] the beloved and the hated; and [if] the first-born son be hers that was hated:

Ko bi imao dvije žene, jednu milu a drugu nemilu, pa bi rodile sinove, i mila i nemila, i prvenac bi bio od nemile,

16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit [that] which he hath, [that] he may not prefer the son of the beloved first-born, before the son of the hated, [which is indeed] the first-born:

Onda kad doðe vrijeme da podijeli sinovima svojim što ima, ne može prvencem uèiniti sina od mile preko sina od nemile koji je prvenac;

17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated [for] the first-born, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he [is] the beginning of his strength; the right of the first-born [is] his.

Nego za prvenca neka prizna sina od nemile i dade mu dva dijela od svega što ima, jer je on poèetak sile njegove, njegovo je pravo prvenaèko.

18 If a man shall have a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and [who], when they have chastened him, will not hearken to them:

Ko bi imao sina samovoljna i nepokorna, koji ne sluša oca svojega ni matere svoje, i kojega oni i karaše pa opet ne sluša,

19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place;

Neka ga uzmu otac i mati, i neka ga dovedu k starješinama grada svojega na vrata mjesta svojega,

20 And they shall say to the elders of his city, This our son [is] stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; [he is] a glutton, and a drunkard.

I neka kažu starješinama grada svojega: ovaj sin naš samovoljan je i nepokoran, ne sluša nas, izjelica je i pijanica.

21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he may die: so shalt thou remove evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Tada svi ljudi onoga mjesta neka ga zaspu kamenjem da pogine; i tako izvadi zlo iz sebe, da sav Izrailj èuje i boji se.

22 And if a man shall have committed a sin worthy of death, and he must be put to death, and thou shalt hang him on a tree:

Ko zgriješi tako da zasluži smrt, te bude osuðen na smrt i objesiš ga na drvo,

23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged [is] accursed of God; ) that thy land may not be defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance.

Neka ne prenoæi tijelo njegovo na drvetu, nego ga isti dan pogrebi, jer je proklet pred Bogom ko je obješen; zato ne skvrni zemlje koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje u našljedstvo.
