¹If one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him:

¹Keby sa našiel zabitý v zemi, ktorú ti dá Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, aby si ju zaujal do dedičstva, ležiaci na poli, a nevedelo by sa, kto ho zabil,

²Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain:

²vtedy vyjdú tvoji starší a tvoji sudcovia a odmerajú vzdialenosť k mestám, ktoré sú vôkol zabitého,

³And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke;

³a keď sa zistí mesto, ktoré je najbližšie zabitému, vezmú starší toho mesta jalovicu, na ktorej sa ešte nerobilo, ktorá ešte neťahala v jarme.

⁴And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley:

⁴A starší toho mesta zavedú jalovicu dolu do doliny trvale tečúcej vody, do doliny, ktorá sa neobrába ani neposieva, a tam v doline zotnú jalovici šiju.

⁵And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:

⁵Potom pristúpia kňazi, synovia Léviho, lebo ich si vyvolil Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, aby mu svätoslúžili a aby dávali požehnanie v mene Hospodinovom, a na ich výroku bude stáť každý spor a každá rana.

⁶And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:

⁶A všetci starší toho mesta, najbližší zabitému, umyjú svoje ruky nad jalovicou, sťatou v doline.

⁷And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.

⁷A osvedčia a povedia: Naše ruky nevylialy tejto krvi, ani naše oči nevidely vraha.

⁸Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.

⁸Pokry hriech svojho ľudu Izraela, ktorý si vykúpil, Hospodine, a nedaj nevinnej krvi doprostred svojho ľudu Izraela, a bude im prikrytá a tak odpustená tá krv.

⁹So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.

⁹A ty odpraceš nevinnú krv zo svojho stredu, keď budeš činiť to, čo je spravedlivé v očiach Hospodinových.

¹⁰When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,

¹⁰Keď vyjdeš do vojny proti svojim nepriateľom, a Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, ho dá do tvojej ruky, a zajmeš z nich do zajatia,

¹¹And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;

¹¹a keď by si videl medzi zajatými ženu pekného vzozrenia a zamiloval by si si ju a vzal by si si ju za ženu,

¹²Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;

¹²vtedy ju dovedieš do stredu svojho domu, kde oholí svoju hlavu a obreže svoje nehty.

¹³And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.

¹³A složiac so seba rúcho, v ktorom bola zajatá, bude bývať v tvojom dome a bude oplakávať svojho otca a svoju matku za celý mesiac, a potom vojdeš k nej, a vezmeš si ju za manželku, a bude ti ženou.

¹⁴And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

¹⁴Ale keby sa ti potom zneľúbila, prepustíš ju, aby išla, kam chce; ale predať jej nepredáš za peniaze ani s ňou nebudeš zaobchodiť krute, za to, že si ju ponížil.

¹⁵If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:

¹⁵Keby mal niektorý muž dve ženy, z ktorých by jednu miloval a druhú nenávidel a keby mu porodily synov, obe, milovaná i nenávidená, a keby bol prvorodený syn synom nenávidenej,

¹⁶Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:

¹⁶stane sa v deň, v ktorý bude do dedičstva dávať svojim synom to, čo má, že nebude môcť dať práva prvorodenstva synovi milovanej pred prvorodeným synom nenávidenej.

¹⁷But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

¹⁷Ale vyznačí prvorodeného, syna nenávidenej, tým, že mu dá po dve čiastky zo všetkého, čo sa najde u neho, pretože on je prvotinou jeho sily, jeho je právo prvorodenstva.

¹⁸If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

¹⁸Keby mal niekto nezdarného syna spúrneho a nepoddajného, ktorý by nepočúval na hlas svojho otca a na hlas svojej matere, a hoci by ho káznili, predsa by ich len neposlúchal,

¹⁹Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;

¹⁹vtedy ho pochytia jeho otec a jeho mať a vyvedú ho von ku starším jeho mesta a ku bráne jeho miesta

²⁰And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

²⁰a povedia starším jeho mesta: Tento náš syn je spúrny a nepoddajný, nepočúva na náš hlas, je žráč a pijan.

²¹And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

²¹Vtedy ho ukameňujú všetci mužovia jeho mesta, a zomrie. A odpraceš také zlo zo svojho stredu. A počujú to, celý Izrael, a budú sa báť.

²²And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:

²²A keby bol na niekom hriech, pre ktorý by bol hoden súdu smrti, a súc popravený zomrel by, a povesil by si ho na drevo,

²³His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

²³nezostane jeho mŕtve telo cez noc na dreve, ale ho doista pochováš toho istého dňa, lebo povesený je zlorečenstvom od Boha. A preto nezanečistíš svojej zeme, ktorú ti dá Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, do dedičstva.
