1Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
1Vi ste sinovi Jahve, Boga svoga. Nemojte na sebi praviti ureza ni podstriga na čelu za pokojnikom.
2For 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 the nations that are upon the earth.
2TÓa ti si narod posvećen Jahvi, Bogu svome; Jahve je odabrao tebe između svih naroda na zemlji da budeš njegov narod, njegova predraga svojina.
3Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
3Ništa odvratno nemojte jesti.
4These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
4Ovo su životinje koje možete jesti: vol, ovca, koza,
5The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
5jelen, srna, srndać, kozorog, antilopa, bivol i divokoza;
6And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.
6možete jesti svaku životinju koja ima razdvojene papke - nadvoje posve razdvojene - i koja preživa.
7Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.
7Samo 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.
8And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.
8A svinja, premda ima papke razdvojene, ne preživa: neka je za vas nečista. Njezina mesa nemojte jesti niti se njezina strva doticati.
9These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
9A od svega što u vodi živi ovo možete jesti: što god ima ljuske i peraje, možete jesti.
10And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
10A što nema ljusaka i peraja, ne smijete jesti. To neka je za vas nečisto.
11Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
11Svaku čistu pticu možete jesti.
12But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
12Ali ovih ne smijete jesti: orla strvinara i jastreba,
13And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
13tetrijeba, sokola bilo koje vrste;
14And every raven after his kind,
14gavrana bilo koje vrste;
15And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind,
15noja, kopca, galeba ni kraguja bilo koje vrste;
16The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
16sove, jejine i labuda;
17And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
17pelikana, bijelog strvinara i gnjurca;
18And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
18rode, čaplje bilo koje vrste; pupavca i šišmiša.
19And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
19Svi krilati kukci neka su za vas nečisti - ne smijete ih jesti.
20But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
20Sve krilato čisto možete jesti.
21Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
21Ne 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!
22Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
22Odvajaj desetinu dohotka svake godine od svega što tvoj usjev u polju donese.
23And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
23A 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.
24And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
24Bude 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,
25Then 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:
25prodaj to za novac, uzmi novac u ruku pa idi u mjesto što ga odabere Jahve, Bog tvoj.
26And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
26Ondje 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.
27And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
27Ne zanemaruj levita koji bude u tvojim gradovima, jer on nema udjela ni baštine s tobom.
28At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
28Na kraju svake treće godine iznesi svu desetinu svoga prihoda od te godine i položi je na svoja vrata.
29And the Levite, (because he hath no part 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.
29Pa 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.
