Deuteronomy 14
1 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
Vi ste sinovi Jahve, Boga svoga. Nemojte na sebi praviti ureza ni podstriga na čelu za pokojnikom.
2 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.
TÓa ti si narod posvećen Jahvi, Bogu svome; Jahve je odabrao tebe između svih naroda na zemlji da budeš njegov narod, njegova predraga svojina.
3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
Ništa odvratno nemojte jesti.
4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
Ovo su životinje koje možete jesti: vol, ovca, koza,
5 the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the antelope, and the chamois.
jelen, srna, srndać, kozorog, antilopa, bivol i divokoza;
6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and hath the hoof cloven in two, [and] cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that ye shall eat.
možete jesti svaku životinju koja ima razdvojene papke - nadvoje posve razdvojene - i koja preživa.
7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the coney, because they chew the cud but part not the hoof, they are unclean unto you:
Samo od preživača ili od životinja s razdvojenim čaporcima ne možete jesti ove: devu, arnebeta i svisca. Te, naime, iako preživaju, nemaju razdvojenih papaka; neka su za vas nečiste.
8 and the swine, because he parteth the hoof but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you: of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcases ye shall not touch.
A svinja, premda ima papke razdvojene, ne preživa: neka je za vas nečista. Njezina mesa nemojte jesti niti se njezina strva doticati.
9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales shall ye eat:
A od svega što u vodi živi ovo možete jesti: što god ima ljuske i peraje, možete jesti.
10 and whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat; it is unclean unto you.
A što nema ljusaka i peraja, ne smijete jesti. To neka je za vas nečisto.
11 Of all clean birds ye may eat.
Svaku čistu pticu možete jesti.
12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the gier eagle, and the ospray;
Ali ovih ne smijete jesti: orla strvinara i jastreba,
13 and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite after its kind;
tetrijeba, sokola bilo koje vrste;
14 and every raven after its kind;
gavrana bilo koje vrste;
15 and the ostrich, and the night hawk, and the seamew, and the hawk after its kind;
noja, kopca, galeba ni kraguja bilo koje vrste;
16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl;
sove, jejine i labuda;
17 and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant;
pelikana, bijelog strvinara i gnjurca;
18 and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
rode, čaplje bilo koje vrste; pupavca i šišmiša.
19 And all winged creeping things are unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
Svi krilati kukci neka su za vas nečisti - ne smijete ih jesti.
20 Of all clean fowls ye may eat.
Sve krilato čisto možete jesti.
21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou mayest give it unto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto a foreigner: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother’s milk.
Ne smijete jesti ništa što crkne. Daj to pridošlici koji boravi u tvojim gradovima neka jede ili pak prodaj tuđincu. Jer ti si narod posvećen Jahvi, Bogu svome. Ne kuhaj kozleta u mlijeku njegove majke!
22 Thou shalt surely tithe all the increase of thy seed, that which cometh forth of the field year by year.
Odvajaj desetinu dohotka svake godine od svega što tvoj usjev u polju donese.
23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
A onda blaguj desetine svoga žita, svoga vina, svoga ulja i prvine svoje krupne i sitne stoke u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga, na mjestu koje on odabere da svoje ime ondje nastani; da se tako naučiš zauvijek bojati se Jahve, Boga svoga.
24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God shall bless thee:
Bude li ti put predug te ne mogneš donijeti desetine - jer je mjesto što ga Jahve odabere da u njemu nastani svoje ime previše daleko od tebe - tada, kad te Jahve, Bog tvoj, blagoslovi,
25 then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
prodaj to za novac, uzmi novac u ruku pa idi u mjesto što ga odabere Jahve, Bog tvoj.
26 and thou shalt bestow the money for whatsoever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul asketh of thee: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thine household:
Ondje za novac kupi što želiš: goveče, sitno živinče, vino ili opojno piće - što god ti duša zaželi. Ondje u nazočnosti Jahve, Boga svoga, blaguj i veseli se ti i tvoji ukućani.
27 and the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee.
Ne zanemaruj levita koji bude u tvojim gradovima, jer on nema udjela ni baštine s tobom.
28 At the end of every three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase in the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
Na kraju svake treće godine iznesi svu desetinu svoga prihoda od te godine i položi je na svoja vrata.
29 and the Levite, because he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
Pa neka dođe levit - jer nema udjela ni baštine s tobom - došljak, sirota i udovica koji budu živjeli u tvom gradu i neka jedu i neka se nasite. Tako će te blagoslivljati Jahve, Bog tvoj, u svim poslovima što ih tvoja ruka poduzme.
