Второзаконие 21

1 Аще же обрящется убиеный на земли, юже Господь Бог дает тебе наследити, лежащь на поли, и не ведят убившаго и:

And if one be found slain with the sword in the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit, having fallen in the field, and they do not know who has smitten [him];

2 да изыдут старцы и судии твои и да измерят до градов, иже окрест убиенаго:

thine elders and thy judges shall come forth, and shall measure the distances of the cities round about the slain man:

3 и будет град приближаяйся убиеному, и да возмут старейшины града того юницу от говяд, еюже не делано, и яже ярма не понесе:

and it shall be that the city which is nearest to the slain man the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which has not laboured, and which has not borne a yoke.

4 и да изведут старейшины града того юницу в дебрь суху, яже не оранна, ниже насеяна, и да пресекут жилы юницы в дебри:

And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer into a rough valley, which has not been tilled and is not sown, and they shall slay the heifer in the valley.

5 и да приступят жерцы Левити: яко сих избра Господь Бог твой предстояти Ему и благословляти во имя Его: и во устех их да будет всякое прекословие и всякая язва:

And the priests the Levites shall come, because the Lord God has chosen them to stand by him, and to bless in his name, and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be [decided].

6 и вси старейшины града того, приближающиися убиеному, да омыют руце над главою юницы, ейже пресечены суть жилы в дебри,

And all the elders of that city who draw nigh to the slain man shall wash their hands over the head of the heifer which was slain in the valley;

7 и отвещавше да рекут: руце наши не пролияша крове сея, и очи наши не видеша:

and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, and our eyes have not seen [it].

8 милостив буди людем Твоим Израилю, ихже извел еси, Господи, из земли Египетския, да не будет кровь неповинна на людех Твоих Израили: и очистится им кровь:

Be merciful to thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, O Lord, that innocent blood may not be charged on thy people Israel: and the blood shall be atoned for to them.

9 ты же отимеши кровь неповинну от среды себе, аще сотвориши доброе и угодное пред Господем Богом твоим.

And thou shalt take away innocent blood from among you, if thou shouldest do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord thy God.

10 Аще же изыдеши на брань противу врагом твоим, и предаст я Господь Бог твой в руце твои, и плениши плен от них,

And if when thou goest out to war against thine enemies, the Lord thy God should deliver them into thine hands, and thou shouldest take their spoil,

11 и узриши в плене добру обличием, и возлюбиши ю, и поймеши ю себе в жену,

and shouldest see among the spoil a woman beautiful in countenance, and shouldest desire her, and take her to thyself for a wife,

12 и введеши ю внутрь в дом твой, и да обриеши главу ея, и да обрежеши ногти ея,

and shouldest bring her within thine house: then shalt thou shave her head, and pare her nails;

13 и да совлечеши ризы пленныя ея с нея: и да сядет в дому твоем, и да плачется отца своего и матере своея месяц дний: и но сем внидеши к ней, и совокупишися с нею, и будет тебе жена.

and shalt take away her garments of captivity from off her, and she shall abide in thine house, and shall bewail her father and mother the days of a month; and afterwards thou shalt go in to her and dwell with her, and she shall be thy wife.

14 И будет аще не восхощеши ея, да отпустиши ю свободну, продажею же да не продаси ея на цене: да не отринеши ея, понеже смирил еси ю.

And it shall be if thou do not delight in her, thou shalt send her out free; and she shall not by any means be sold for money, thou shalt not treat her contemptuously, because thou hast humbled her.

15 Аще же будут мужу две жены, едина от них люба, и другая не люба, и породят ему любая и нелюбая, и будет сын перворожденный от нелюбимыя:

And if a man have two wives, the one loved and the other hated, and both the loved and the hated should have born him [children], and the son of the hated should be first-born;

16 и будет в оньже день разделит сыном своим имение свое, не возможет первенцем быти сын любимыя, презрев сына нелюбимыя первенца:

then it shall be that whensoever he shall divide by inheritance his goods to his sons, he shall not be able to give the right of the first-born to the son of the loved one, having overlooked the son of the hated, which is the first-born.

17 но сына нелюбимыя за первенца да признает, и даст ему сугубо от всего, еже обрящется ему, яко сей есть начало чад его, и сему достоит первенство.

But he shall acknowledge the first-born of the hated one to give to him double of all things which shall be found by him, because he is the first of his children, and to him belongs the birthright.

18 Аще же кому будет сын непокорив и грубитель, не послушаяй гласа отца своего и гласа матере своея, и накажут его, и не послушает их,

And if any man has a disobedient and contentious son, who hearkens not to the voice of his father and the voice of his mother, and they should correct him, and he should not hearken to them;

19 да возмут его отец его и мати его, и да изведут его пред старейшины града своего и пред врата места своего,

then shall his father and his mother take hold of him, and bring him forth to the elders of his city, and to the gate of the place:

20 и да рекут к мужем града своего: сын наш сей непокорив есть и грубитель и не слушает речи нашея, сластолюбствуя пиянствует:

and they shall say to the men of their city, This our son is disobedient and contentious, he hearkens not to our voice, he is a reveler and a drunkard.

21 и да побиют его мужие града того камением, и да умрет: и измите злое от себе самих, да и прочии слышавше убоятся.

And the men of his city shall stone him with stones, and he shall die; and thou shalt remove the evil one from yourselves, and the rest shall hear and fear.

22 Аще же будет на ком грех, суд смертный, и да умрет, и повесите его на древе,

And if there be sin in any one, [and] the judgment of death [be upon him], and he be put to death, and ye hang him on a tree:

23 да не пренощует тело его на древе, но во гробе погребите его в тойже день: яко проклят есть от Бога всяк висяй на древе: и да не оскверните земли, юже Господь Бог твой дает тебе во жребий.

his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but ye shall by all means bury it in that day; for every one that is hanged on a tree is cursed of God; and ye shall by no means defile the land which the Lord thy God gives thee for an inheritance.
