Izlazak 23
1 “Nemojte davati lažne izjave! Ne pomaži zlikovcu svjedočeći krivo!
"You shall not spread a false report. Do not join your hand with the wicked to be an unjust witness.
2 Ne povodi se za mnoštvom da činiš zlo; niti svjedoči u parnici stajući na stranu većine protiv pravde.
You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; neither shall you testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice;
3 Ne smiješ biti pristran prema siromahu u njegovoj parnici.
neither shall you favor a poor man in his cause.
4 Kad nabasaš na zalutalo goveče ili magare svoga neprijatelja, moraš mu ga natrag dovesti.
"If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
5 Ako opaziš magarca onoga koji te mrzi kako je pao pod svojim tovarom, nemoj ga ostaviti: zajedno s njegovim gospodarom moraš mu pomoći da se digne.
If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden, do not leave him, you shall surely help him with it.
6 Ne krnji prava svome siromahu u njegovoj parnici.
"You shall not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.
7 Stoj daleko od lažne optužbe; ne ubijaj nedužna i pravedna, jer ja zlikovcu ne praštam.
"Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and righteous: for I will not justify the wicked.
8 Ne primaj mita, jer mito zasljepljuje i one koji najjasnije gledaju i upropašćuje pravo pravednika.
"You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.
9 Ne ugnjetavaj pridošlicu! TÓa znate kako je pridošlici; i sami ste bili pridošlice u zemlji egipatskoj.”
"You shall not oppress a foreigner, for you know the heart of a foreigner, seeing you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
10 “Šest godina zasijavaj svoju zemlju i njezine plodove pobiri,
"For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase,
11 a sedme je godine pusti da počiva neobrađena. Neka se s nje hrani sirotinja tvoga naroda, a što njoj ostane, neka pojede poljska živina. Radi tako i sa svojim vinogradom i svojim maslinikom.
but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In like manner you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove.
12 Šest dana obavljaj svoj posao, ali sedmoga dana od posala odustani, da ti otpočine vo i magarac i da odahne sin tvoje sluškinje i pridošlica.
"Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the alien may be refreshed.
13 Pripazite na sve što sam vam rekao. Ne spominjite imena drugih bogova. Neka se to i ne čuje iz tvojih usta.”
"Be careful to do all things that I have said to you; and do not invoke the name of other gods, neither let them be heard out of your mouth.
14 “Triput na godinu održavaj u moju čast svetkovinu.
"You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.
15 Slavi Blagdan beskvasnoga kruha. U određeno vrijeme u mjesecu Abibu - jer si u njemu iz Egipta izišao - sedam dana jedi beskvasan kruh, kako sam ti naredio. Neka nitko ne stupa preda me praznih ruku!
You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out from Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty.
16 Onda slavi Blagdan žetve - prvina što ih donose polja koja zasijavaš. Zatim Blagdan berbe na koncu godine, kad s polja pokupiš plodove svoga truda.
And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field: and the feast of harvest, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.
17 Triput na godinu neka svi tvoji muški stupe pred Gospodara Jahvu.
Three times in the year all your males shall appear before Lord YHWH.
18 Krv žrtve koju u moju čast žrtvuješ nemoj prinositi s ukvasanim kruhom; salo od žrtve prinesene na moju svetkovinu ne ostavljaj za sutradan.
"You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.
19 Donosi u kuću Jahve, svoga Boga, najbolje prvine sa svoje zemlje. Ne kuhaj kozleta u mlijeku njegove majke.”
The first of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of YHWH your God. "You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
20 “Šaljem, evo, svog anđela pred tobom da te čuva na putu i dovede te u mjesto koje sam priredio.
"Look, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
21 Poštuj ga i slušaj! Ne buni se protiv njega, jer vam neće opraštati prekršaje: tÓa moje je ime u njemu.
Pay attention to him, and listen to his voice. Do not provoke him, for he will not pardon your disobedience, for my name is in him.
22 Ako mu se budeš vjerno pokoravao i budeš vršio sve što sam naredio, ja ću biti neprijatelj tvojim neprijateljima i protivnik tvojim protivnicima.
But if you indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
23 Anđeo će moj ići pred tobom i dovesti te do Amorejaca, Hetita, Perižana, Kanaanaca, Hivijaca i Jebusejaca da ih uništim.
For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite, and the Hethite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.
24 Nemoj se klanjati njihovim kumirima niti im iskazuj štovanje; ne postupaj kako oni rade nego njihove kumire poruši i stupove im porazbijaj.
You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor follow their practices, but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars.
25 Iskazujte štovanje Jahvi, Bogu svome, pa ću blagoslivati tvoj kruh i tvoju vodu i uklanjati od tebe bolest.
You shall serve YHWH your God, and I will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from your midst.
26 U tvojoj zemlji neće biti pometkinje; ja ću učiniti punim broj tvojih dana.
No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.
27 Pred tobom ću odaslati stravu svoju; u metež ću baciti sav svijet među koji dospiješ i učinit ću da svi tvoji neprijatelji bježe pred tobom.
I will send my terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
28 Stršljene ću pred tobom odašiljati da ispred tebe tjeraju u bijeg Hivijce, Kanaance i Hetite.
I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hethite, from before you.
29 Neću ih otjerati ispred tebe u jednoj godini, da zemlja ne opusti i divlje se životinje ne razmnože na tvoju štetu.
I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you.
30 Tjerat ću ih ispred tebe malo-pomalo dok ti potomstvo ne odraste, tako da zemlju zaposjedneš.
Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land.
31 Postavit ću ti granicu: od Crvenoga do Filistejskoga mora, od pustinje pa do Rijeke. Predat ću, naime, stanovništvo zemlje u tvoje šake, a ti ga ispred sebe tjeraj.
I will set your border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
32 Ne pravi savez ni s njima ni s njihovim kumirima.
You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 Neka ne ostanu u tvojoj zemlji da te ne navode na grijeh protiv mene. Ako bi štovao njihove kumire, to bi ti bila stupica.”
They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."
