Levitski zakonik 18
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Govori Izraelcima i reci im: 'Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.
“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, 'I am Yahweh 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 must not do the things that the people do in Egypt, where you lived previously. You must not do the things that the people do in Canaan, the land to which I am taking you. Do not follow their customs.
4 Vršite moje naredbe; vršite moje zapovijedi; prema njima hodite. Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.
My laws are what you must do, and my commandments are what you must keep, so that you walk in them, because I am Yahweh your God.
5 Zato držite moje zakone i moje naredbe; tko ih vrši - u njima će naći život. Ja sam Jahve!
Therefore you must keep my decrees and my laws. If a person obeys them, he will live because of them. I am Yahweh.
6 Neka se nitko od vas ne približuje svojoj krvnoj rodbini da otkriva njezinu golotinju. Ja sam Jahve!
No one must sleep with any close relative to uncover his nakedness. I am Yahweh.
7 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoga oca ni golotinje svoje majke. Majka ti je, ne otkrivaj njezine golotinje!
Do not dishonor your father by sleeping with your mother. She is your mother! You must not dishonor her.
8 Ne otkrivaj golotinje žene svoga oca! I to je golotinja tvoga oca!
Do not sleep with any of your father's wives; you must not dishonor your father like that.
9 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoje sestre - kćeri svoga oca ili kćeri svoje majke - bila rođena u kući ili izvan nje!
Do not sleep with any sister of yours, whether she is the daughter of your father or the daughter of your mother, whether she was raised at your home or distant from you. You must not sleep with your sisters.
10 Ne otkrivaj golotinje kćeri svoga sina niti golotinje kćeri svoje kćeri! TÓa njihova je golotinja tvoja vlastita golotinja.
Do not sleep with your son's daughter or with your daughter's daughter. That would be your own shame.
11 Ne otkrivaj golotinje kćeri žene svoga oca! Jer, rođena od tvog oca, ona ti je sestra.
Do not sleep with your father's wife's daughter, who was born of your father. She is your sister, and you must not sleep with her.
12 Ne otkrivaj golotinje sestre svoga oca! Ona je krv tvoga oca.
Do not sleep with your father's sister. She is a close relative to your father.
13 Ne otkrivaj ni golotinje sestre svoje majke! Ta i ona je krv tvoje majke!
Do not sleep with your mother's sister. She is a close relative to your mother.
14 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoga strica! To jest, nemoj se približavati njegovoj ženi. Ta ona je tvoja strina.
Do not dishonor the brother of your father by sleeping with his wife. Do not go near her for that purpose; she is your aunt.
15 Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoje snahe! Ona je žena tvoga sina. Ne otkrivaj golotinje njezine.
Do not sleep with your daughter-in-law. She is your son's wife; do not sleep with her.
16 Ne otkrivaj golotinje žene svoga brata! Ta to je golotinja tvoga brata.
Do not sleep with your brother's wife; do not dishonor him in this way.
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.
Do not sleep with a woman and her daughter, or with her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter. They are close relatives to her, and sleeping with them would be wicked.
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!
You must not marry your wife's sister as a second wife and sleep with her while your first wife is alive.
19 Ne približuj se ni jednoj ženi kad je u nečistoći svoga mjesečnog pranja da joj otkrivaš golotinju!
Do not sleep with a woman during her menstruation. She is unclean during that time.
20 Ne lijegaj sa ženom bližnjega svoga; od nje bi postao nečist.
Do not sleep with your neighbor's wife and defile yourself with her in this way.
21 Ne smiješ dopuštati da koje tvoje dijete bude žrtvovano Moleku; ne smiješ tako obeščašćivati ime Boga svoga. Ja sam Jahve!
You must not give any of your children to put them into the fire, so that you sacrifice them to Molech, because you must not profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.
22 Ne lijegaj s muškarcem kako se liježe sa ženom! To bi bila grozota.
Do not sleep with other men as with a woman. This would be wicked.
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.
Do not sleep with any animal and defile yourself with it. No woman must consider sleeping with any animal. This would be perversion.
24 Ničim se od toga nemojte onečišćavati! Ta svim su se tim onečišćavali narodi koje ja ispred vas tjeram.
Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for in all these ways the nations are defiled, the nations that I will drive out from before you.
25 I zemlja je postala nečista. Zato ću kazniti njezinu opačinu, i zemlja će ispljuvati svoje stanovnike.
The land became defiled, so I punished their sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.
26 Vi pak držite moje zakone i moje naredbe: ni jedne od tih opačina nemojte počinjati - ni vi ni stranac koji među vama boravi.
You, therefore, must keep my commandments and decrees, and you must not do any of these detestable things, neither the native-born Israelite nor the foreigner who lives among you.
27 Sve je te zloće počinjao svijet koji je bio u toj zemlji prije vas te je zemlja postala nečista.
For this is the wickedness that the people in the land have committed, those who lived here before you, and now the land is defiled.
28 Neće li, ako je učinite nečistom, zemlja ispljuvati i vas kako je ispljuvala narod koji je bio prije vas?
Therefore be careful so that the land does not vomit you up also after you have defiled it, as it vomited out the people who were before you.
29 Jest, svi koji bi počinili bilo koju od tih zloća bit će odstranjeni iz svoga naroda.
Whoever does any of these detestable things, the persons who do such 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!'”
Therefore you must keep my command not to practice any of these detestable customs which were practiced here before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am Yahweh your God.'”
