Exodus 20
1 And God said all these words:
Onda Bog izgovori sve ove riječi:
2 I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
“Ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, koji sam te izveo iz zemlje egipatske, iz kuće ropstva.
3 You are to have no other gods but me.
Nemoj imati drugih bogova uz mene.
4 You are not to make an image or picture of anything in heaven or on the earth or in the waters under the earth:
Ne pravi sebi lika ni obličja bilo čega što je gore na nebu, ili dolje na zemlji, ili u vodama pod zemljom.
5 You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;
Ne klanjaj im se niti im služi. Jer ja, Jahve, Bog tvoj, Bog sam ljubomoran. Kažnjavam grijeh otaca - onih koji me mrze - na djeci do trećeg i četvrtog koljena,
6 And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.
a iskazujem milosrđe tisućama koji me ljube i vrše moje zapovijedi.
7 You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged a sinner by the Lord
Ne uzimaj uzalud imena Jahve, Boga svoga, jer Jahve ne oprašta onome koji uzalud izgovara ime njegovo.
8 Keep in memory the Sabbath and let it be a holy day.
Sjeti se da svetkuješ dan subotni.
9 On six days do all your work:
Šest dana radi i obavljaj sav svoj posao.
10 But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day you are to do no work, you or your son or your daughter, your man-servant or your woman-servant, your cattle or the man from a strange country who is living among you:
A sedmoga je dana subota, počinak posvećen Jahvi, Bogu tvojemu. Tada nikakva posla nemoj raditi: ni ti, ni sin tvoj, ni kći tvoja, ni sluga tvoj, ni sluškinja tvoja, ni živina tvoja, niti došljak koji se nađe unutar tvojih vrata.
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and everything in them, and he took his rest on the seventh day: for this reason the Lord has given his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy.
Ta i Jahve je šest dana stvarao nebo, zemlju i more i sve što je u njima, a sedmoga je dana počinuo. Stoga je Jahve blagoslovio i posvetio dan subotni.
12 Give honour to your father and to your mother, so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
Poštuj oca svoga i majku svoju da imadneš dug život na zemlji koju ti da Jahve, Bog tvoj.
13 Do not put anyone to death without cause.
Ne ubij!
14 Do not be false to the married relation.
Ne učini preljuba!
15 Do not take the property of another.
Ne ukradi!
16 Do not give false witness against your neighbour.
Ne svjedoči lažno na bližnjega svoga!
17 Let not your desire be turned to your neighbour's house, or his wife or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is his.
Ne poželi kuće bližnjega svoga! Ne poželi žene bližnjega svoga; ni sluge njegova, ni sluškinje njegove, ni vola njegova, ni magarca njegova, niti išta što je bližnjega tvoga!”
18 And all the people were watching the thunderings and the flames and the sound of the horn and the mountain smoking; and when they saw it, they kept far off, shaking with fear.
Sav je puk bio svjedok grmljavine i sijevanja, svi čuše zvuk trube i vidješe kako se brdo dimi: gledali su i tresli se i stajali podalje.
19 And they said to Moses, To your words we will give ear, but let not the voice of God come to our ears, for fear death may come on us.
Onda rekoše Mojsiju: “Ti nam govori, a mi ćemo slušati. Neka nam Bog ne govori, da ne pomremo!”
20 And Moses said to the people, Have no fear: for God has come to put you to the test, so that fearing him you may be kept from sin.
“Ne bojte se”, reče Mojsije narodu. “Bog je došao da vas samo iskuša; da strah pred njim ostane s vama te da ne griješite.”
21 And the people kept their places far off, but Moses went near to the dark cloud where God was.
Narod ostane podalje, a Mojsije pristupi gustom oblaku gdje se Bog nalazio.
22 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You yourselves have seen that my voice has come to you from heaven
“Ovako reci Izraelcima”, progovori Jahve Mojsiju. “Sami ste vidjeli da sam s vama govorio s neba.
23 Gods of silver and gods of gold you are not to make for yourselves.
Ne pravite uza me kumira od srebra niti sebi pravite kumira od zlata.
24 Make for me an altar of earth, offering on it your burned offerings and your peace-offerings, your sheep and your oxen: in every place where I have put the memory of my name, I will come to you and give you my blessing.
Načini mi žrtvenik od zemlje i na njemu mi prinosi svoje žrtve paljenice i žrtve pričesnice, svoju sitnu i svoju krupnu stoku. Na svakome mjestu koje odredim da se moje ime spominje ja ću doći k tebi da te blagoslovim.
25 And if you make me an altar of stone do not make it of cut stones: for the touch of an instrument will make it unclean.
Ako mi budeš gradio kameni žrtvenik, nemoj ga graditi od klesanoga kamena, jer čim na nj spustiš svoje dlijeto, oskvrnit ćeš ga.
26 And do not go up by steps to my altar, for fear that your bodies may be seen uncovered.
Ne uzlazi na moj žrtvenik po stepenicama, da se ne pokaže na njemu golotinja tvoja.”
