5 Mosebog 22
1 Du skal ikke se din Broders Okse eller hans Lam farende vild og undslaa dig for at tage dig af dem; men du skal føre dem tilbage til din Broder.
If you see your brother’s ox or sheep straying, you must not ignore it; be sure to return it to your brother.
2 Men dersom din Broder ikke er nær hos dig, og du ikke kender ham, da skal du tage det ind i dit Hus, og det skal være hos dig, indtil din Broder søger derefter, da skal du give ham det tilbage.
If your brother does not live near you, or if you do not know who he is, you are to take the animal home to remain with you until your brother comes seeking it; then you can return it to him.
3 Og saaledes skal du gøre med hans Asen, og saaledes skal du gøre med hans Klæder, og saaledes skal du gøre med alt det, som din Broder har tabt, med hvad der er tabt af ham, og som du finder; du maa ikke undslaa dig derfor.
And you shall do the same for his donkey, his cloak, or anything your brother has lost and you have found. You must not ignore it.
4 Du skal ikke se din Broders Asen eller hans Okse falde paa Vejen og undslaa dig for at tage dig af dem; du skal rejse dem op med ham.
If you see your brother’s donkey or ox fallen on the road, you must not ignore it; you must help him lift it up.
5 Der skal intet Mandstøj være paa en Kvinde, og en Mand skal ikke føre sig i Kvindeklæder; thi hver den, som gør disse Ting, er en Vederstyggelighed for Herren din Gud.
A woman must not wear men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD your God.
6 Naar du finder en Fuglerede paa Vejen, i et Træ eller paa Jorden, og der er Unger eller Æg, og Moderen ligger paa Ungerne eller paa Æggene, da skal du ikke tage Moderen med Ungerne.
If you come across a bird’s nest with chicks or eggs, either in a tree or on the ground along the road, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or eggs, you must not take the mother along with the young.
7 Men du skal lade Moderen fare og tage Ungerne til dig, at det maa gaa dig vel, og du maa forlænge dine Dage.
You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go, so that it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days.
8 Naar du bygger et nyt Hus, da skal du gøre et Rækværk om dit Tag, at du ikke skal bringe Blodskyld over dit Hus, hvis nogen falder ned derfra.
If you build a new house, you are to construct a railing around your roof, so that you do not bring bloodguilt on your house if someone falls from it.
9 Du skal ikke saa din Vingaard med to Slags, at din Sæds Fylde, som du saar, og Vingaardens Afgrøde ikke skal hjemfalde til Helligdommen.
Do not plant your vineyard with two types of seed; if you do, the entire harvest will be defiled —both the crop you plant and the fruit of your vineyard.
10 Du skal ikke pløje med en Okse og med et Asen sammen.
Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.
11 Du skal ikke iføre dig Klæder, vævede af uldent og Linned sammen.
Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
12 Du skal gøre dig Snore paa de fire Flige af dit Klædebon, som du skjuler dig med.
You are to make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear.
13 Naar en Mand tager en Hustru og kommer ind til hende, men faar Had til hende
Suppose a man marries a woman, has relations with her, and comes to hate her,
14 og tillægger hende skammelige Ting og fører ondt Rygte ud om hende og siger: Denne Kvinde tog jeg og holdt mig nær til hende, og jeg fandt ikke Jomfrudom hos hende:
and he then accuses her of shameful conduct and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman and had relations with her, but I discovered she was not a virgin.”
15 Da skal Pigens Fader og hendes Moder tage og bringe Pigens jomfruelige Tegn ud til Stadens Ældste til Porten.
Then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring the proof of her virginity to the city elders at the gate
16 Og Pigens Fader skal sige til de Ældste: Jeg gav denne Mand min Datter til Hustru, og han har faaet Had til hende.
and say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he has come to hate her.
17 Og se, han tillægger hende skammelige Ting og siger: Jeg har ikke fundet din Datters Jomfrudom, skønt disse ere min Datters jomfruelige Tegn; saa skulle de udbrede Klædet for de Ældste af Staden.
And now he has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘I discovered that your daughter was not a virgin.’ But here is the proof of her virginity.” And they shall spread out the cloth before the city elders.
18 Og de Ældste af Staden skulle tage Manden og revse ham.
Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.
19 Og de skulle straffe ham paa hundrede Sekel Sølv og give Pigens Fader dem, fordi han har ført ondt Rygte ud om en Jomfru i Israel; saa skal han have hende til Hustru, han maa ikke nogensinde lade hende fare.
They are also to fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given a virgin of Israel a bad name. And she shall remain his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
20 Men dersom det Ord har været Sandhed, at Pigens Jomfrudom ikke fandtes:
If, however, this accusation is true, and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found,
21 Da skulle de føre Pigen ud til Døren af hendes Faders Hus, og Mændene af hendes Stad skulle stene hende med Stene, og hun skal dø, fordi hun gjorde en Daarlighed i Israel ved at bedrive Hor i sin Faders Hus; og du skal borttage den onde af din Midte.
she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house, and there the men of her city will stone her to death. For she has committed an outrage in Israel by being promiscuous in her father’s house. So you must purge the evil from among you.
22 Dersom en Mand findes at ligge hos en Kvinde, som er en Mands Ægtehustru, da skulle de begge tilsammen dø, Manden, som laa hos Kvinden, og Kvinden; og du skal borttage den onde af Israel.
If a man is found lying with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.
23 Naar en Pige, en Jomfru, er trolovet med en Mand, og en Mand finder hende i Staden og ligger hos hende:
If there is a virgin pledged in marriage to a man, and another man encounters her in the city and sleeps with her,
24 Da skulle I føre dem begge ud til samme Stads Port og stene dem med Stene, og de skulle dø, Pigen for den Sags Skyld, at hun ikke raabte i Staden, og Manden for den Sags Skyld, at han krænkede sin Næstes Hustru; og du skal borttage den onde af din Midte.
you must take both of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death—the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. So you must purge the evil from among you.
25 Men dersom Manden finder den trolovede Pige paa Marken, og Manden holder fast paa hende og ligger hos hende, da skal alene Manden, som laa hos hende, dø.
But if the man encounters a betrothed woman in the open country, and he overpowers her and lies with her, only the man who has done this must die.
26 Men Pigen skal du ikke gøre noget, for Pigen er det ingen Dødssynd; thi ligesom en vil rejse sig imod sin Næste og slaa ham ihjel, saa er og denne Handel.
Do nothing to the young woman, because she has committed no sin worthy of death. This case is just like one in which a man attacks his neighbor and murders him.
27 Thi han fandt hende paa Marken; den trolovede Pige raabte, og der var ingen, som frelste hende.
When he found her in the field, the betrothed woman cried out, but there was no one to save her.
28 Naar nogen finder en Pige, en Jomfru, som ikke er trolovet, og tager fat paa hende og ligger hos hende, og de findes:
If a man encounters a virgin who is not pledged in marriage, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered,
29 Da skal den Mand, som laa hos hende, give Pigens Fader halvtredsindstyve Sekel Sølv, og hun skal være hans Hustru for den Sags Skyld, at han krænkede hende; han maa ikke nogensinde lade hende fare.
then the man who lay with her must pay the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she must become his wife because he has violated her. He must not divorce her as long as he lives.
30 En Mand skal ikke tage sin Faders Hustru og ej opslaa sin Faders Flig.
A man is not to marry his father’s wife, so that he will not dishonor his father’s marriage bed.
