Levitski zakonik 18
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Govori Izraelcima i reci im: 'Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.
Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God.
3 Nemojte raditi kako se radi u zemlji egipatskoj, gdje ste boravili; niti radite kako se radi u zemlji kanaanskoj, kamo vas vodim; ne povodite se za njihovim običajima!
You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.
4 Vršite moje naredbe; vršite moje zapovijedi; prema njima hodite. Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.
But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.
5 Zato držite moje zakone i moje naredbe; tko ih vrši - u njima će naći život. Ja sam Jahve!
So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.
6 Neka se nitko od vas ne približuje svojoj krvnoj rodbini da otkriva njezinu golotinju. Ja sam Jahve!
You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord.
7 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoga oca ni golotinje svoje majke. Majka ti je, ne otkrivaj njezine golotinje!
You may not have sex relations with your father or your mother: she is your mother, you may not take her.
8 Ne otkrivaj golotinje žene svoga oca! I to je golotinja tvoga oca!
And you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your father's.
9 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoje sestre - kćeri svoga oca ili kćeri svoje majke - bila rođena u kući ili izvan nje!
You may not take your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother, wherever her birth took place, among you or in another country.
10 Ne otkrivaj golotinje kćeri svoga sina niti golotinje kćeri svoje kćeri! TÓa njihova je golotinja tvoja vlastita golotinja.
You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself;
11 Ne otkrivaj golotinje kćeri žene svoga oca! Jer, rođena od tvog oca, ona ti je sestra.
Or your father's wife's daughter, the child of your father, for she is your sister.
12 Ne otkrivaj golotinje sestre svoga oca! Ona je krv tvoga oca.
You may not have sex connection with your father's sister, for she is your father's near relation.
13 Ne otkrivaj ni golotinje sestre svoje majke! Ta i ona je krv tvoje majke!
You may not have sex connection with your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near relation.
14 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoga strica! To jest, nemoj se približavati njegovoj ženi. Ta ona je tvoja strina.
You may not have sex relations with the wife of your father's brother, for she is of your family;
15 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoje snahe! Ona je žena tvoga sina. Ne otkrivaj golotinje njezine.
Or with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, and you may not take her.
16 Ne otkrivaj golotinje žene svoga brata! Ta to je golotinja tvoga brata.
You may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your brother's.
17 Ne otkrivaj golotinje koje žene i njezine kćeri! Nemoj se ženiti kćerju njezina sina niti kćerju njezine kćeri te im golotinju otkrivati. Oni su krvna rodbina. To bi bila pokvarenost.
You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.
18 Ne uzimaj sebi koju ženu u isto vrijeme kad i njezinu sestru da je ljubomorom žalostiš otkrivajući golotinju ovoj preko nje za njezina života!
And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time.
19 Ne približuj se ni jednoj ženi kad je u nečistoći svoga mjesečnog pranja da joj otkrivaš golotinju!
And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time.
20 Ne lijegaj sa ženom bližnjega svoga; od nje bi postao nečist.
And you may not have sex relations with your neighbour's wife, making yourself unclean with her.
21 Ne smiješ dopuštati da koje tvoje dijete bude žrtvovano Moleku; ne smiješ tako obeščašćivati ime Boga svoga. Ja sam Jahve!
And you may not make any of your children go through the fire as an offering to Molech, and you may not put shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.
22 Ne lijegaj s muškarcem kako se liježe sa ženom! To bi bila grozota.
You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing.
23 Da nisi legao ni s jednom životinjom - od nje bi postao nečist. Žena ne smije stati pred životinju da se s njom pari. To bi bila krajnja opačina.
And you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it; and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act.
24 Ničim se od toga nemojte onečišćavati! Ta svim su se tim onečišćavali narodi koje ja ispred vas tjeram.
Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:
25 I zemlja je postala nečista. Zato ću kazniti njezinu opačinu, i zemlja će ispljuvati svoje stanovnike.
And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it.
26 Vi pak držite moje zakone i moje naredbe: ni jedne od tih opačina nemojte počinjati - ni vi ni stranac koji među vama boravi.
So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you:
27 Sve je te zloće počinjao svijet koji je bio u toj zemlji prije vas te je zemlja postala nečista.
(For all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them; )
28 Neće li, ako je učinite nečistom, zemlja ispljuvati i vas kako je ispljuvala narod koji je bio prije vas?
So that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it put out the nations which were there before you.
29 Jest, svi koji bi počinili bilo koju od tih zloća bit će odstranjeni iz svoga naroda.
For all those who do any of these disgusting things will be cut off from among their people.
30 Zato držite moje zapovijedi; nemojte se podavati ni jednome od onih odvratnih običaja što su se održavali prije vas; tako se njima nećete onečistiti. Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš!'”
So then, keep my orders, so that you may not do any of these disgusting things which were done before you, or make yourselves unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.
