¹You shall not sacrifice to Yahweh your God an ox, or a sheep, in which is a blemish, or anything evil; for that is an abomination to Yahweh your God.

¹Sa ei tohi ohverdada Issandale, oma Jumalale, härga või lammast, kellel on viga küljes, midagi pahaloomulist, sest see on jäledus Issandale, su Jumalale!

²If there is found in the midst of you, within any of your gates which Yahweh your God gives you, man or woman, who does that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh your God, in transgressing his covenant,

²Kui su keskel mõnes su väravaist, mis Issand, su Jumal, sulle annab, leitakse mees või naine, kes teeb, mis kuri on Issanda, su Jumala silmis, rikkudes tema lepingut,

³and has gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the army of the sky, which I have not commanded;

³kes läheb ja teenib teisi jumalaid ja kummardab neid, päikest või kuud või kõiki taevavägesid, mida ma olen keelanud,

⁴and it be told you, and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire diligently; and behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in Israel,

⁴ja sellest teatatakse sinule ja sa kuuled seda, siis kuula hästi järele, ja vaata, kui see on tõsi, asi on kindel, seesugust jõledust on Iisraelis tehtud,

⁵then you shall bring forth that man or that woman, who has done this evil thing, to your gates, even the man or the woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.

⁵siis vii see mees või naine, kes seda kurja on teinud, välja oma väravate ette, olgu see mees või naine, ja ta visatagu kividega surnuks!

⁶At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he who is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

⁶Surmatav surmatagu kahe või kolme tunnistaja ütluse põhjal; ühe tunnistaja ütluse põhjal ei tohi teda surmata.

⁷The hand of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.

⁷Tunnistajate käsi tõusku esimesena ta vastu, et teda surmata, ja seejärel kogu rahva käsi. Nõnda kõrvalda kurjus enese keskelt!

⁸If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates; then you shall arise, and go up to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose;

⁸Kui sulle on mõni asi raske otsustada õigusemõistmises vere ja vere vahel, kohtuasja ja kohtuasja vahel, vägivallateo ja vägivallateo vahel tüliasjus su väravais, siis võta kätte ja mine sinna paika, mille Issand, su Jumal, valib,

⁹and you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days: and you shall inquire; and they shall show you the sentence of judgment.

⁹ja tule leviitpreestrite juurde ja selle juurde, kes neil päevil on kohtumõistjaks, ja kuula järele, siis nad kuulutavad sulle otsuse.

¹⁰You shall do according to the tenor of the sentence which they shall show you from that place which Yahweh shall choose; and you shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you:

¹⁰Ja tee siis selle otsuse järgi, mille nad sulle kuulutavad paigas, mille Issand valib, ja täida hoolsasti kõike, mida nad sulle õpetavad!

¹¹according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the sentence which they shall show you, to the right hand, nor to the left.

¹¹Tee õpetuse järgi, mida nad sulle annavad, ja kohtuotsuse järgi, mille nad sulle kuulutavad, pead sa talitama, kaldumata paremale või vasakule otsusest, mida nad sulle kuulutavad!

¹²The man who does presumptuously, in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before Yahweh your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die: and you shall put away the evil from Israel.

¹²Aga mees, kes käitub ülbelt, kuulamata preestrit, kes seisab seal Issanda, su Jumala teenistuses, või kohtumõistjat, peab surema! Nõnda kõrvalda kurjus Iisraelist!

¹³All the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.

¹³Ja kogu rahvas kuulgu seda ja kartku, et nad ei oleks enam nii ülbed!

¹⁴When you have come to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, and shall possess it, and shall dwell therein, and shall say, “I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me”;

¹⁴Kui sa jõuad sellele maale, mille Issand, su Jumal, sulle annab, ja sa pärid selle ning elad seal ja ütled: 'Ma tahan tõsta enesele kuninga, nagu on kõigil mu ümberkaudseil rahvail',

¹⁵you shall surely set him king over yourselves, whom Yahweh your God shall choose: one from among your brothers you shall set king over you; you may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.

¹⁵siis tõsta enesele kuningaks see, kelle Issand, su Jumal, valib! Sa pead tõstma enesele kuninga oma vendade hulgast, sa ei tohi panna enese üle võõrast meest, kes ei ole sinu vend!

¹⁶Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because Yahweh has said to you, “You shall not go back that way again.”

¹⁶Aga tema ärgu pidagu enesel palju hobuseid, ja tema ärgu viigu rahvast tagasi Egiptusesse, et hankida palju hobuseid, sest Issand on teile öelnud: 'Ärge minge enam tagasi seda teed!'

¹⁷Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

¹⁷Ja tema ärgu võtku enesele palju naisi, et ta ei taganeks usust, ja tema ärgu kogugu enesele väga palju hõbedat ja kulda!

¹⁸It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the priests the Levites:

¹⁸Ja kui ta istub oma kuningriigi aujärjel, siis ta kirjutagu enesele raamatusse ärakiri sellest Seadusest, mis on leviitpreestrite käes.

¹⁹and it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear Yahweh his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;

¹⁹See olgu tema juures ja ta lugegu seda kõik oma elupäevad, et ta õpiks kartma Issandat, oma Jumalat, pidades kõiki selle Seaduse sõnu ja määrusi, tehes nende järgi,

²⁰that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of Israel.

²⁰ilma et ta süda suurustleks oma vendade ees ja ilma et ta kalduks käsust paremale või vasakule, et pikendada päevi, mis ta on oma kuningriigi üle, tema ja ta pojad Iisraelis.
