Deuteronomy 19
1 When the LORD your God shall cut off the nations, whose land the LORD your God gives you, and you succeed them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses;
Kad Gospod Bog tvoj potre narode kojih zemlju daje tebi Gospod Bog tvoj, i kad ih naslijediš i nastaniš se po gradovima njihovijem i po kuæama njihovijem,
2 you shall set apart three cities for you in the midst of your land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.
Odvoj tri grada usred zemlje svoje, koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj da je naslijediš,
3 You shall prepare you the way, and divide the borders of your land, which the LORD your God causes you to inherit, into three parts, that every manslayer may flee there.
Naèini put, i razdijeli na troje krajeve zemlje svoje, koju ti da Gospod Bog tvoj u našljedstvo, pa neka bježi onamo svaki krvnik.
4 This is the case of the manslayer, that shall flee there and live: whoever kills his neighbor unawares, and did not hate him in time past;
A ovako neka bude s krvnikom koji uteèe onamo, da bi ostao živ: ko ubije bližnjega svojega nehotice, ne mrzivši prije na nj,
5 as when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to chop wood, and his hand fetches a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the handle, and lights on his neighbor, so that he dies; he shall flee to one of these cities and live:
Kao kad bi ko otišao s bližnjim svojim u šumu da sijeèe drva, pa bi zamahnuo sjekirom u ruci svojoj da posijeèe drvo, a ona bi spala s držalice i pogodila bi bližnjega njegova tako da umre, on neka uteèe u koji od tijeh gradova da ostane živ,
6 lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and strike him mortally; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he did not hate him in time past.
Da ne bi osvetnik potjerao krvnika dok mu je srce raspaljeno, i da ga ne bi stigao na daleku putu i ubio ga, premda nije zaslužio smrti, jer nije prije mrzio na nj.
7 Therefore I command you, saying, You shall set apart three cities for yourselves.
Zato ti zapovijedam i velim: tri grada odvoj.
8 If the LORD your God enlarges your border, as he has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land which he promised to give to your fathers;
A kad raširi Gospod Bog tvoj meðe tvoje, kao što se zakleo ocima tvojim, i da ti svu zemlju koju je rekao dati ocima tvojim,
9 if you keep all this commandment to do it, which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to walk ever in his ways; then you shall add three cities more for yourselves, besides these three:
Ako uzdržiš i ustvoriš sve ove zapovijesti, koje ti ja danas zapovijedam, da ljubiš Gospoda Boga svojega i hodiš putovima njegovijem svagda, onda dodaj još tri grada osim ona tri,
10 that innocent blood not be shed in the midst of your land, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, and so blood be on you.
Da se ne proljeva krv prava u zemlji tvojoj, koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje u našljedstvo, i da ne bude na tebi krv.
11 But if any man hates his neighbor, and lies in wait for him, and rises up against him, and strikes him mortally so that he dies, and he flees into one of these cities;
Ali ako ko mrzi na bližnjega svojega i vreba ga, i skoèi na nj, i udari ga tako da umre, a on uteèe u koji od tijeh gradova,
12 then the elders of his city shall send and bring him there, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
Onda starješine mjesta njegova neka pošlju i uzmu ga odande, i predadu ga u ruke osvetniku da se pogubi.
13 Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall put away the innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with you.
Neka ga ne žali oko tvoje, nego skini krv pravu s Izrailja, da bi ti dobro bilo.
14 You shall not remove your neighbor's landmark, which they of old time have set, in your inheritance which you shall inherit, in the land that the LORD your God gives you to possess it.
Ne pomièi meðe bližnjega svojega koju postave stari u našljedstvu tvojem koje dobiješ u zemlji koju ti Gospod Bog tvoj daje da je naslijediš.
15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sins: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall every word be established.
Neka ne ustaje jedan svjedok na èovjeka ni za kako zlo i ni za kakav grijeh izmeðu svijeh grijeha koji se èine, nego na rijeèima dva ili tri svjedoka da ostaje stvar.
16 If an unrighteous witness rise up against any man to testify against him of wrongdoing,
Ako bi ustao lažan svjedok na koga da svjedoèi na njega da se odmeæe Boga,
17 then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the cohanim and the judges who shall be in those days;
Onda neka stanu ta dva èovjeka, koji imaju tu raspru, pred Gospoda, pred sveštenike i pred sudije koje budu u to vrijeme;
18 and the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, look, if the witness is a false witness, and has testified falsely against his brother;
I neka dobro ispitaju sudije; ako svjedok onaj bude lažan svjedok i lažno svjedoèi na brata svojega,
19 then you shall do to him as he had thought to do to his brother: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
Uèinite mu onako kako je on mislio uèiniti bratu svojemu; i izvadi zlo iz sebe,
20 Those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall hereafter commit no more any such evil in the midst of you.
Da se ostali èuvši to boje, i unapredak više ne èine tako zlo usred tebe.
21 Your eyes shall not pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Neka ne žali oko tvoje: život za život, oko za oko, zub za zub, ruku za ruku, nogu za nogu.
