¹If one be found slain in the land which Yahweh your God gives you to possess it, lying in the field, and it isn’t known who has struck him;

¹Kui sellel maal, mille Issand, su Jumal, annab sulle pärida, leitakse üks tapetu väljal lamamas, ilma et teataks, kes tema on tapnud,

²then your elders and your judges shall come forth, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is slain:

²siis peavad su vanemad ja kohtumõistjad välja minema ja mõõtma kauguse linnadeni, mis on ümber selle tapetu.

³and it shall be, that the city which is nearest to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which hasn’t been worked with, and which has not drawn in the yoke;

³Linnas, mis on tapetule ligemal, võtku linna vanemad mullikas, kellega ei ole tööd tehtud, kes ei ole ikkes vedanud,

⁴and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley.

⁴ja selle linna vanemad viigu mullikas alaliselt voolava veega orgu, mida ei harita ega külvata, ja nad murdku seal orus mullika kael!

⁵The priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them Yahweh your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name of Yahweh; and according to their word shall every controversy and every stroke be.

⁵Ja preestrid, Leevi pojad, astugu ette, sest Issand, su Jumal, on valinud nemad, et nad teeniksid teda ja õnnistaksid Issanda nimel: nende sõna kohaselt lahendatagu iga riid ja vägivald!

⁶All the elders of that city, who are nearest to the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley;

⁶Ja kõik tapetule ligemal oleva linna vanemad pesku oma käsi mullika kohal, kelle kael orus murti.

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

⁷Ja nad tunnistagu ning öelgu: 'Meie käed ei ole valanud seda verd ja meie silmad ei ole seda näinud.

⁸Forgive, Yahweh, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and don’t allow innocent blood in the midst of your people Israel.” The blood shall be forgiven them.

⁸Anna andeks oma rahvale Iisraelile, kelle sa oled lunastanud, Issand! Ära pane süütut verd oma Iisraeli rahva keskele!' Siis lepitatakse neile see veresüü.

⁹So you shall put away the innocent blood from the midst of you, when you shall do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh.

⁹Nõnda kõrvalda sina süüta veri enese keskelt, sest sa pead tegema, mis õige on Issanda silmis!

¹⁰When you go forth to battle against your enemies, and Yahweh your God delivers them into your hands, and you carry them away captive,

¹⁰Kui sa lähed sõtta oma vaenlaste vastu ja Issand, su Jumal, annab nad sinu kätte ja sina võtad neist vange

¹¹and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you have a desire to her, and would take her to you as wife;

¹¹ja näed vangide hulgas ühte ilusa välimusega naist, armud temasse ja tahad teda võtta enesele naiseks,

¹²then you shall bring her home to your house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;

¹²siis vii ta oma kotta; ta ajagu oma pea paljaks ja lõigaku sõrmeküüned!

¹³and she shall put the clothing of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in your house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that you shall go in to her, and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.

¹³Ta võtku vangirüü seljast ja jäägu su kotta; ta nutku oma isa ja ema ühe kuu päevad ja pärast seda võid sa minna tema juurde ja teda naida, ja ta saagu su naiseks!

¹⁴It shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall let her go where she will; but you shall not sell her at all for money, you shall not deal with her as a slave, because you have humbled her.

¹⁴Aga kui ta sulle enam ei meeldi, siis lase ta minna, kuhu ta tahab; aga sa ei tohi teda raha eest müüa ega orjastada, sest sa oled teda häbistanud.

¹⁵If a man have two wives, the one beloved, and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers who was hated;

¹⁵Kui mehel on kaks naist, ühte ta armastab, aga teist ta vihkab, ja nad sünnitavad temale pojad, niihästi see, keda ta armastab, kui ka see, keda ta vihkab, ja esmasündinud poeg on vihatu oma,

¹⁶then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not make the son of the beloved the firstborn before the son of the hated, who is the firstborn:

¹⁶siis ei tohi ta päeval, mil ta jaotab oma poegadele pärisosaks seda, mis tal on, pidada esmasündinuks armastatu poega vihatu poja asemel, kes on ju esmasündinu,

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

¹⁷vaid ta peab vihatu poja tunnistama esmasündinuks, andes temale kaks osa kõigest, mis tal on olemas, sest too on tema mehejõu esimene vili; tolle päralt on esmasünniõigus.

¹⁸If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not listen to them;

¹⁸Kui kellelgi on kangekaelne ja tõrges poeg, kes ei kuula oma isa ja ema sõna, ja kuigi nad teda karistavad, ei kuula ta neid ometi,

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

¹⁹siis võtku ta isa ja ema ning viigu tema ta linna vanemate juurde ta asukoha väravasse

²⁰and they shall tell 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.”

²⁰ja nad öelgu tema linna vanemaile: 'See meie poeg on kangekaelne ja tõrges, ta ei kuula meie sõna, ta on kõlvatu ja joodik!'

²¹All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

²¹Siis visaku kõik ta linna mehed ta kividega surnuks. Nõnda kõrvalda kurjus enese keskelt, ja kogu Iisrael kuulgu seda ning kartku!

²²If a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and you hang him on a tree;

²²Ja kui kellegi peal on surma väärt patt ja ta surmatakse ning sa pood ta puusse,

²³his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God; that you don’t defile your land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.

²³siis ei tohi ta laip jääda ööseks puusse, vaid sa pead ta selsamal päeval kindlasti maha matma, sest poodu on Jumalast neetud; ära roojasta oma maad, mille Issand, su Jumal, annab sulle pärisosaks!
