Ponovljeni Zakon 25
1 Kad je raspra meðu ljudima, pa doðu na sud da im sude, tada pravoga neka opravdaju a krivoga neka osude.
If there is a dispute between men and they go to court, and the judges judge them, then they will acquit the righteous and condemn the wicked.
2 I ako krivi zaslužuje boj, tada sudija neka zapovjedi da ga povale i biju pred njim, na broj prema krivici njegovoj.
If the guilty man deserves to be beaten, then the judge will make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with the ordered number of blows, as was his crime.
3 Do èetrdeset udaraca neka zapovjedi da mu udare, ne više, da se ne bi poništio brat tvoj u tvojim oèima, kad bi mu se udarilo više udaraca.
The judge may give him forty blows, but he may not exceed that number; for if he should exceed that number and beat him with many more blows, then your fellow Israelite would be humiliated before your eyes.
4 Nemoj zavezati usta volu kad vrše.
You must not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
5 Kad braæa žive zajedno pa umre jedan od njih bez djece, onda žena umrloga da se ne uda iz kuæe za drugoga; brat njegov neka otide k njoj i uzme je za ženu i uèini joj dužnost djeversku.
If brothers live together and one of them dies, not having any son, then the wife of the dead man must not be married off to someone else outside the family. Instead, her husband's brother must sleep with her and take her to himself as a wife, and do the duty of a husband's brother to her.
6 I prvi sin kojega ona rodi neka se nazove imenom brata njegova umrloga, da ne pogine ime njegovo u Izrailju.
This is so that the firstborn that she bears will succeed in the name of that man's dead brother, so that his name will not perish from Israel.
7 Ako li onaj èovjek ne bi htio uzeti snahe svoje, onda snaha njegova neka doðe na vrata pred starješine, i reèe: neæe djever moj da podigne bratu svojemu sjemena u Izrailju, neæe da mi uèini dužnosti djeverske.
But if the man does not wish to take his brother's wife for himself, then his brother's wife must go up to the gate to the elders and say, 'My husband's brother refuses to raise up for his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother to me.'
8 Tada neka ga dozovu starješine mjesta onoga i razgovore se s njim; pa ako se on upre i reèe: neæu da je uzmem;
Then the elders of his city must call him and speak to him. But suppose that he insists and says, 'I do not wish to take her.'
9 Onda neka pristupi k njemu snaha njegova pred starješinama, i neka mu izuje obuæu s noge njegove i pljune mu u lice, i progovorivši neka reèe: tako valja da bude èovjeku koji neæe da zida kuæe brata svojega.
Then his brother's wife must come up to him in the presence of the elders, take off his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face. She must answer him and say, 'This is what is done to the man who does not build up his brother's house.'
10 I on neka se zove u Izrailju: dom bosoga.
His name will be called in Israel, 'The house of him whose sandal has been taken off.'
11 Ako bi se svadili ljudi, jedan s drugim, pa bi došla žena jednoga da otme muža svojega iz ruke drugoga koji ga bije, i pruživši ruku svoju uhvatila bi ga za mošnice,
If men fight with each other, and the wife of one comes to rescue her husband out of the hand of him who struck him, and if she stretches out her hand and takes him by the private parts,
12 Otsijeci joj ruku; neka ne žali oko tvoje.
then you must cut off her hand; your eye must have no pity.
13 Nemoj imati u torbi svojoj dvojaku mjeru, veliku i malu.
You must not have in your bag different weights, a large and a small.
14 Nemoj imati u kuæi svojoj dvojaku efu, veliku i malu.
You must not have in your house different measures, a large and a small.
15 Mjera potpuna i prava neka ti je; efa potpuna i prava neka ti je, da bi ti se produljili dani tvoji u zemlji koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj.
A perfect and just weight you must have; a perfect and just measure you must have, so that your days may be long in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you.
16 Jer je gad pred Gospodom Bogom tvojim ko god èini tako, ko god èini krivo.
For all who do such things, all that act unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God.
17 Opominji se šta ti je uèinio Amalik na putu kad iðaste iz Misira,
Call to mind what Amalek did to you on the road as you came out of Egypt,
18 Kako te doèeka na putu i pobi na kraju sve umorne koji iðahu za tobom, kad si bio sustao i iznemogao, i ne boja se Boga.
how he met you on the road and attacked those of you at the rear, all who were feeble in your rear, when you were faint and weary; he did not honor God.
19 Zato kad te Gospod Bog tvoj smiri od svijeh neprijatelja tvojih unaokolo u zemlji koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj da je naslijediš, tada zatri spomen Amaliku pod nebom; ne zaboravi.
Therefore, when Yahweh your God has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you must not forget that you must blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
