Leviticus 18
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Jahve reče Mojsiju:
2 “Speak to the Israeli people and tell them [that I, Yahweh, say this] this: I am Yahweh, your God.
“Govori Izraelcima i reci im: 'Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.
3 [So you must do what I want you to do]; you must not do the things that the people in Egypt, where you lived previously, do; and you must not do what is done by the people in Canaan, the land to which I am taking you. Do not imitate their behavior.
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 must obey all of my laws [DOU], because it is I, Yahweh your God, [who am commanding those laws].
Vršite moje naredbe; vršite moje zapovijedi; prema njima hodite. Ja sam Jahve, Bog vaš.
5 If you obey all my laws and decrees, you will continue to remain alive [for a long time]. I, Yahweh, [am the one who is promising that to you]. [These are some of my laws]:
Zato držite moje zakone i moje naredbe; tko ih vrši - u njima će naći život. Ja sam Jahve!
6 “Do not have sex with any of your close relatives. It is I, Yahweh, [who am commanding that].
Neka se nitko od vas ne približuje svojoj krvnoj rodbini da otkriva njezinu golotinju. Ja sam Jahve!
7 “Do not disgrace your father by having sex with your mother [DOU].
Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoga oca ni golotinje svoje majke. Majka ti je, ne otkrivaj njezine golotinje!
8 “Do not have sex with any of your father’s [other] wives, because that would disgrace your father.
Ne otkrivaj golotinje žene svoga oca! I to je golotinja tvoga oca!
9 “Do not have sex with your sister or your stepsister; it does not matter whether she was born in your house or somewhere else.
Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoje sestre - kćeri svoga oca ili kćeri svoje majke - bila rođena u kući ili izvan nje!
10 “Do not have sex with your granddaughter, because that would disgrace you.
Ne otkrivaj golotinje kćeri svoga sina niti golotinje kćeri svoje kćeri! TÓa njihova je golotinja tvoja vlastita golotinja.
11 “Do not have sex with your half-sister, because she is your sister.
Ne otkrivaj golotinje kćeri žene svoga oca! Jer, rođena od tvog oca, ona ti je sestra.
12 “Do not have sex with your father’s sister, because she is your father’s close relative.
Ne otkrivaj golotinje sestre svoga oca! Ona je krv tvoga oca.
13 “Do not have sex with your mother’s sister, because she is your mother’s close relative.
Ne otkrivaj ni golotinje sestre svoje majke! Ta i ona je krv tvoje majke!
14 “Do not disgrace your (uncle/father’s brother) by having sex with his wife, because she is your aunt.
Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoga strica! To jest, nemoj se približavati njegovoj ženi. Ta ona je tvoja strina.
15 “Do not have sex with [DOU] your daughter-in-law, because she is your son’s wife.
Ne otkrivaj golotinje svoje snahe! Ona je žena tvoga sina. Ne otkrivaj golotinje njezine.
16 “Do not have sex with your brother’s wife, because that would disgrace your brother.
Ne otkrivaj golotinje žene svoga brata! Ta to je golotinja tvoga brata.
17 “Do not have sex with the daughter or granddaughter of any woman whom you have previously had sex with; they are [her] (OR, [your]) close relatives. Having sex with any of them would be a wicked thing to do.
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 “While your wife is still living, do not marry your wife’s sister and have sex with her.
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 “Do not have sex with any woman while she is having her monthly menstrual period.
Ne približuj se ni jednoj ženi kad je u nečistoći svoga mjesečnog pranja da joj otkrivaš golotinju!
20 “Do not (defile yourself/make yourself unacceptable to me) by having sex with someone else’s wife.
Ne lijegaj sa ženom bližnjega svoga; od nje bi postao nečist.
21 “Do not give any of your children to be burned to be a sacrifice to the god Molech, because that would show that you do not revere me [MTY], Yahweh, your God.
Ne smiješ dopuštati da koje tvoje dijete bude žrtvovano Moleku; ne smiješ tako obeščašćivati ime Boga svoga. Ja sam Jahve!
22 “No man should have sex with another man; that is detestable.
Ne lijegaj s muškarcem kako se liježe sa ženom! To bi bila grozota.
23 “No one, man or woman, should (defile himself/cause himself to become unacceptable to me) by having sex with an animal; that is a perverse act.
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 (defile yourselves/cause yourselves to become unacceptable to me) in any of those ways, because doing those things is how the people of the nations that I expelled as you advanced became (unacceptable to me/defiled).
Ničim se od toga nemojte onečišćavati! Ta svim su se tim onečišćavali narodi koje ja ispred vas tjeram.
25 They even caused the land to become defiled, so I punished them for their sins, and [it was as though] the land vomited out the people who lived there.
I zemlja je postala nečista. Zato ću kazniti njezinu opačinu, i zemlja će ispljuvati svoje stanovnike.
26 You must all obey my laws and decrees. That includes you people who were born here and the foreigners who live 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 All those detestable things were done by the people who lived in this land before you came here, and they caused the land to become defiled.
Sve je te zloće počinjao svijet koji je bio u toj zemlji prije vas te je zemlja postala nečista.
28 So if you defile the land, I will get rid of [MET] you like I got rid of the people of those nations that were here before you came.
Neće li, ako je učinite nečistom, zemlja ispljuvati i vas kako je ispljuvala narod koji je bio prije vas?
29 “You must not allow people who do any of those detestable things to associate with you who are my people.
Jest, svi koji bi počinili bilo koju od tih zloća bit će odstranjeni iz svoga naroda.
30 Obey everything that I command you to do, and do not defile yourselves by practicing any of the detestable customs that were practiced [by the people who were there] before you came. I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who is commanding these things].”
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!'”
