Leviticus 18

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Jahve reče Mojsiju:

2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: I am the Lord your God.

“Govori Izraelcima i reci im: 'Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.

3 You shall not act according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you have lived; nor shall you behave according to the habit of the region of Canaan, into which I will lead you; neither shall you walk in their ordinances.

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!

4 You shall accomplish my judgments, and you shall observe my precepts, and you shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God.

Vršite moje naredbe; vršite moje zapovijedi; prema njima hodite. Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.

5 Keep my laws and judgments; when a man does these, he shall live by them. I am the Lord.

Zato držite moje zakone i moje naredbe; tko ih vrši - u njima će naći život. Ja sam Jahve!

6 No man shall approach her who is a close blood-relative to him, so as to uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord.

Neka se nitko od vas ne približuje svojoj krvnoj rodbini da otkriva njezinu golotinju. Ja sam Jahve!

7 You shall not expose the nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.

Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoga oca ni golotinje svoje majke. Majka ti je, ne otkrivaj njezine golotinje!

8 You shall not expose the nakedness of your father’s wife; for it is the nakedness of your father.

Ne otkrivaj golotinje žene svoga oca! I to je golotinja tvoga oca!

9 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, whether from father or from mother, whether she was born at home or abroad.

Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoje sestre - kćeri svoga oca ili kćeri svoje majke - bila rođena u kući ili izvan nje!

10 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or your daughter’s daughter; for it is your own nakedness.

Ne otkrivaj golotinje kćeri svoga sina niti golotinje kćeri svoje kćeri! TÓa njihova je golotinja tvoja vlastita golotinja.

11 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, whom she bore to your father, and who is your sister.

Ne otkrivaj golotinje kćeri žene svoga oca! Jer, rođena od tvog oca, ona ti je sestra.

12 You shall not expose the nakedness of your father’s sister; for she is the flesh of your father.

Ne otkrivaj golotinje sestre svoga oca! Ona je krv tvoga oca.

13 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, because she is the flesh of your mother.

Ne otkrivaj ni golotinje sestre svoje majke! Ta i ona je krv tvoje majke!

14 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother, nor shall you approach his wife, who is joined to you by affinity.

Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoga strica! To jest, nemoj se približavati njegovoj ženi. Ta ona je tvoja strina.

15 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law, for she is your son’s wife; neither shall you expose her dishonor.

Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoje snahe! Ona je žena tvoga sina. Ne otkrivaj golotinje njezine.

16 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; for it is the nakedness of your brother.

Ne otkrivaj golotinje žene svoga brata! Ta to je golotinja tvoga brata.

17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your wife and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, so as to uncover her dishonor; for they are her flesh, and such sexual intercourse is incest.

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.

18 You shall not take your wife’s sister as a rival mistress; nor shall you uncover her nakedness, while your wife is still living.

Ne uzimaj sebi koju ženu u isto vrijeme kad i njezinu sestru da je ljubomorom žalostiš otkrivajući golotinju ovoj preko nje za njezina života!

19 You shall not approach a woman who is undergoing menstruation, nor shall you uncover her foulness.

Ne približuj se ni jednoj ženi kad je u nečistoći svoga mjesečnog pranja da joj otkrivaš golotinju!

20 You shall not have sexual intercourse with your neighbor’s wife, nor shall you be defiled by the mingling of seed.

Ne lijegaj sa ženom bližnjega svoga; od nje bi postao nečist.

21 You shall not give some of your seed to be consecrated to the idol Moloch, nor to pollute the name of your God. I am the Lord.

Ne smiješ dopuštati da koje tvoje dijete bude žrtvovano Moleku; ne smiješ tako obeščašćivati ime Boga svoga. Ja sam Jahve!

22 You shall not commit sexual acts with a male, in place of sexual intercourse with a female, for this is an abomination.

Ne lijegaj s muškarcem kako se liježe sa ženom! To bi bila grozota.

23 You shall not commit sexual acts with any animal, nor shall you be defiled by it. A woman shall not lie down with a beast, nor commit sexual acts with it; for this is wickedness.

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.

24 Do not pollute yourselves with any of these things, by which all of the nations, which I will cast out in your sight, have been contaminated

Ničim se od toga nemojte onečišćavati! Ta svim su se tim onečišćavali narodi koje ja ispred vas tjeram.

25 and by which the land has been polluted. I will visit the wickedness of the land, so that it may vomit out its inhabitants.

I zemlja je postala nečista. Zato ću kazniti njezinu opačinu, i zemlja će ispljuvati svoje stanovnike.

26 Keep my ordinances and judgments, and do not do any of these abominations: the native born, as well as the settler, who sojourns among you.

Vi pak držite moje zakone i moje naredbe: ni jedne od tih opačina nemojte počinjati - ni vi ni stranac koji među vama boravi.

27 For all these detestable things were done by the inhabitants of the land who were here before you, and they have polluted it.

Sve je te zloće počinjao svijet koji je bio u toj zemlji prije vas te je zemlja postala nečista.

28 Therefore, beware, lest in a similar manner, it may vomit you out as well, if you do these same things, just as it vomited out the people who were before you.

Neće li, ako je učinite nečistom, zemlja ispljuvati i vas kako je ispljuvala narod koji je bio prije vas?

29 Every soul who shall commit any of these abominations shall perish from the midst of his people.

Jest, svi koji bi počinili bilo koju od tih zloća bit će odstranjeni iz svoga naroda.

30 Keep my commandments. Do not be willing to do the things which have been done by those who were before you, and do not be polluted by these things. I am the Lord your God.

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!'”
