Ponovljeni zakon 23

1 Neka se u Jahvinu zajednicu ne prima onaj komu je stučena mošnjica ili odrezano udo.

He that is fractured or mutilated in his private parts shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord.

2 Ni mješanac neka se ne prima u Jahvinu zajednicu; neka se njegovi ne primaju u zajednicu Jahvinu ni do desetog koljena.

[One born] of a harlot shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord.

3 Neka ne ulazi u Jahvinu zajednicu ni Amonac ni Moabac; nitko od njihovih, čak ni u deseto koljeno, ne smije nikad u zajednicu Jahvinu.

The Ammanite and Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even until the tenth generation he shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even for ever:

4 A sve zato što nisu izašli pred vas s kruhom i vodom kad bijaste na putu izišavši iz Egipta; i što su za novce najmili sina Beorova, Bileama iz Petora u Aram Naharajimu, da te prokune.

because they met you not with bread and water by the way, when you went out of Egypt; and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor of Mesopotamia to curse you.

5 Ali Jahve, Bog tvoj, ne htjede uslišati Bileama nego ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, prometnu prokletstvo u blagoslov jer te ljubi Jahve, Bog tvoj.

But the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam; and the Lord your God changed the curses into blessings, because the Lord your God loved you.

6 Nikad ne promiči njihovo blagostanje i njihovo dobro u sve dane svoje dovijeka.

You shall not speak peaceably or profitably to them all your days for ever.

7 Nemoj prezirati Edomca, jer je on brat tvoj. Ne preziri ni Egipćanina, jer si bio došljak u zemlji njegovoj.

You shall not abhor an Edomite, because he is your brother; you shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you were a stranger in his land.

8 Njihovi potomci u trećem naraštaju mogu se primiti u Jahvinu zajednicu.

If sons be born to them, in the third generation they shall enter into the assembly of the Lord.

9 Kad pođeš s taborom na svoje neprijatelje, čuvaj se od svakoga zla.

And if you should go forth to engage with your enemies, then you shall keep you from every wicked thing.

10 Ako je među tvojima tko postao nečist zbog noćnog izljeva, neka iziđe iz tabora i neka se ne vraća u nj.

If there should be in you a man who is not clean by reason of his issue by night, then he shall go forth out of the camp, and he shall not enter into the camp.

11 A predvečer neka se u vodi opere te u smiraje može opet u tabor.

And it shall come to pass towards evening he shall wash his body with water, and when the sun has gone down, he shall go into the camp.

12 Imaj izvan tabora mjesto gdje ćeš ići napolje.

And you shall have a place outside of the camp, and you shall go out there,

13 Sa svojom opremom nosi i lopaticu: njome ćeš, kad ideš napolje, iskopati rupu i poslije zatrpati svoju nečist.

and you shall have a trowel on your girdle; and it shall come to pass when you would relieve yourself abroad, that you shall dig with it, and shall bring back the earth and cover your nuisance.

14 TÓa Jahve, Bog tvoj, ide posred tvoga tabora da te štiti i da ti predaje neprijatelje. Stoga i tvoj tabor treba da bude svet: neka Jahve ne zapazi u tebe ništa nedolično, da se ne bi odvratio od tebe.

Because the Lord your God walks in your camp to deliver you, and to give up your enemy before your face; and your camp shall be holy, and there shall not appear in you a disgraceful thing, and [so] he shall turn away from you.

15 Ne smiješ gospodaru izručivati roba koji je od svoga gospodara utekao k tebi.

You shall not deliver a servant to his master, who [coming] from his master attaches himself to you.

16 Neka boravi s tobom u tvojoj sredini, u mjestu što ga odabere u jednome od tvojih gradova gdje mu se svidi. Nemoj s njime loše postupati.

He shall dwell with you, he shall dwell amongst you where he shall please; you shall not afflict him.

17 Neka ne bude svetišne bludnice među izraelskim kćerima i neka ne bude svetišnog bludnika među izraelskim sinovima!

There shall not be a harlot of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be a fornicator of the sons of Israel; there shall not be an idolatress of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be an initiated person of the sons of Israel.

18 Ne donosi u Dom Jahve, Boga svoga, ni za kakav zavjet bludničine plaće ni pasjeg novca, jer je oboje odvratno Jahvi, Bogu tvome.

You shall not bring the hire of a harlot, nor the price of a dog into the house of the Lord your God, for any vow; because even both are an abomination to the Lord your God.

19 Ne traži kamata od svoga brata, niti kamata za novac, niti kamata na jestvine, niti kamata na bilo što gdje se obično traže.

You shall not lend to your brother on usury of silver, or usury of meat, or usury of any thing which you may lend out.

20 Od tuđinca možeš tražiti kamate, ali ih od svoga brata nemoj tražiti, da ti Jahve, Bog tvoj, udijeli blagoslov u svakom pothvatu tvoje ruke u zemlji u koju ideš da je zaposjedneš.

You may lend on usury to a stranger, but to your brother you shall not lend on usury; that the Lord your God may bless you in all your works upon the land, into which you are entering to inherit it.

21 Kad zavjetuješ kakav zavjet Jahvi, Bogu svome, ne oklijevaj da ga ispuniš. Zacijelo će ga Jahve, Bog tvoj, od tebe tražiti; i bio bi ti grijeh.

And if you will vow a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it; for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and [otherwise] it shall be sin in you.

22 Ako se ne zavjetuješ, neće ti biti grijeh.

But if you should be unwilling to vow, it is not sin in you.

23 Ali ispuni ono što prijeđe preko tvojih usana, zavjet koji si svojim ustima slobodno učinio Jahvi, Bogu svome.

You shall observe the words that proceed from between your lips; and as you have vowed a gift to the Lord God, [so] shall you do that which you have spoken with your mouth.

24 Ako uđeš u vinograd svoga susjeda, slobodno ti je zobati grožđa do mile volje, ali u svoj sud ne smiješ stavljati.

And if you should go into the corn field of your neighbour, then you may gather the ears with your hands; but you shall not put the sickle to your neighbour's corn.

25 Ako uđeš u žito svoga susjeda, možeš kidati klasove rukom, ali ne smiješ prinositi srpa susjedovu žitu.

And if you should go into the vineyard of your neighbour, you shall eat grapes sufficient to satisfy your desire; but you may not put them into a vessel.
