Deuteronomy 21

1 If someone is found slain in the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess, lying in the field, and it is not known who has struck him,

Kad se naðe ubijen èovjek u zemlji koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj da je naslijediš, gdje leži u polju, a ne zna se ko ga je ubio,

2 then your elders and your judges shall come out, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is slain.

Tada neka izidu starješine tvoje i sudije tvoje, i neka izmjere od ubijenoga do gradova koji su oko njega.

3 It shall be that the elders of the city which is nearest to the slain man shall take a heifer of the herd, which has not been worked with and which has not drawn in the yoke.

Pa koji grad bude najbliže ubijenoga, starješine onoga grada neka uzmu junicu iz goveda, na kojoj se još nije radilo, koja nije vukla u jarmu,

4 The elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley.

I neka odvedu starješine onoga grada tu junicu u pustu dolinu gdje se ne kopa ni sije, i neka zakolju junicu ondje u dolini.

5 The priests the sons of Levi shall come near, for them the LORD your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the LORD’s name; and according to their word shall every controversy and every assault be decided.

Potom neka pristupe sveštenici, sinovi Levijevi; jer njih izabra Gospod Bog tvoj da mu služe i da blagosiljaju u ime Gospodnje, i na njihovijem rijeèima da ostaje svaka raspra i svaka šteta;

6 All the elders of that city which is nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley.

I sve starješine onoga grada koji budu najbliže ubijenoga neka operu ruke svoje nad zaklanom junicom u onoj dolini,

7 They shall answer and say, “Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.

I tvrdeæi neka reku: ruke naše nijesu prolile ove krvi niti su oèi naše vidjele;

8 Forgive, LORD, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and do not allow innocent blood among your people Israel.” The blood shall be forgiven them.

Milostiv budi narodu svojemu Izrailju, koji si iskupio, Gospode, i ne meæi prave krvi na narod svoj Izrailja. Tako æe se oèistiti od one krvi.

9 So you shall put away the innocent blood from among you, when you shall do that which is right in the LORD’s eyes.

I ti æeš skinuti pravu krv sa sebe kad uèiniš što je pravo pred Gospodom.

10 When you go out to battle against your enemies, and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you carry them away captive,

Kad otideš na vojsku na neprijatelje svoje, i preda ih Gospod Bog tvoj u ruke tvoje i zarobiš ih mnogo,

11 and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you are attracted to her, and desire to take her as your wife,

I ugledaš u roblju lijepu ženu, i omili ti da bi je htio uzeti za ženu,

12 then you shall bring her home to your house. She shall shave her head and trim her nails.

Odvedi je kuæi svojoj; i neka obrije glavu svoju i sreže nokte svoje;

13 She shall take off the clothing of her captivity, and shall remain in your house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month. After that you shall go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.

I neka skine sa sebe haljine svoje u kojima je zarobljena, i neka sjedi u kuæi tvojoj, i žali za ocem svojim i za materom svojom cio mjesec dana; potom lezi s njom, i budi joj muž i ona nek ti bude žena.

14 It shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall let her go where she desires; but you shall not sell her at all for money. You shall not deal with her as a slave, because you have humbled her.

Ako ti poslije ne bi bila po volji, pusti je neka ide kuda joj drago, ali nikako da je ne prodaš za novce ni da njom trguješ, jer si je osramotio.

15 If a man has two wives, the one beloved and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated, and if the firstborn son is hers who was hated,

Ko bi imao dvije žene, jednu milu a drugu nemilu, pa bi rodile sinove, i mila i nemila, i prvenac bi bio od nemile,

16 then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not give the son of the beloved the rights of the firstborn before the son of the hated, who is the firstborn;

Onda kad doðe vrijeme da podijeli sinovima svojim što ima, ne može prvencem uèiniti sina od mile preko sina od nemile koji je prvenac;

17 but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he has; for he is the beginning of his strength. The right of the firstborn is his.

Nego za prvenca neka prizna sina od nemile i dade mu dva dijela od svega što ima, jer je on poèetak sile njegove, njegovo je pravo prvenaèko.

18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and though they chasten him, will not listen to them,

Ko bi imao sina samovoljna i nepokorna, koji ne sluša oca svojega ni matere svoje, i kojega oni i karaše pa opet ne sluša,

19 then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city and to the gate of his place.

Neka ga uzmu otac i mati, i neka ga dovedu k starješinama grada svojega na vrata mjesta svojega,

20 They shall tell the elders of his city, “This our son is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey our voice. He is a glutton and a drunkard.”

I neka kažu starješinama grada svojega: ovaj sin naš samovoljan je i nepokoran, ne sluša nas, izjelica je i pijanica.

21 All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall remove the evil from among you. All Israel shall hear, and fear.

Tada svi ljudi onoga mjesta neka ga zaspu kamenjem da pogine; i tako izvadi zlo iz sebe, da sav Izrailj èuje i boji se.

22 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree,

Ko zgriješi tako da zasluži smrt, te bude osuðen na smrt i objesiš ga na drvo,

23 his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God. Do not defile your land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.

Neka ne prenoæi tijelo njegovo na drvetu, nego ga isti dan pogrebi, jer je proklet pred Bogom ko je obješen; zato ne skvrni zemlje koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje u našljedstvo.
