5 Mosebog 23

1 Ingen Gilding, enten han er bleven det ved Knusning eller ved Snit, maa komme i Herrens Forsamling.

He that is fractured or mutilated in his private parts shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord.

2 Intet Horebarn maa komme i Herrens Forsamling; endog i tiende Led maa ikke nogen af hans komme i Herrens Forsamling.

[One born] of a harlot shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord.

3 En Ammonit og en Moabit maa ikke komme i Herrens Forsamling; endog i tiende Led maa ikke nogen af dem komme i Herrens Forsamling evindelig;

The Ammanite and Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even until the tenth generation he shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even for ever:

4 for den Sags Skyld, at de ikke kom eder i Møde med Brød og med Vand paa Vejen, der I gik ud af Ægypten, og fordi han lejede Bileam, Beors Søn, af Pethor i Mesopotamien, imod dig til at forbande dig.

because they met you not with bread and water by the way, when you went out of Egypt; and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor of Mesopotamia to curse you.

5 Men Herren din Gud vilde ikke høre Bileam, og Herren din Gud vendte dig Forbandelsen til Velsignelse; thi Herren din Gud havde dig kær.

But the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam; and the Lord your God changed the curses into blessings, because the Lord your God loved you.

6 Du skal ikke søge at fremme deres Fred eller deres Vel, alle dine Dage evindeligen.

You shall not speak peaceably or profitably to them all your days for ever.

7 Du skal ikke have Vederstyggelighed til en Edomit, thi han er din Broder; du skal ikke have Vederstyggelighed til en Ægypter, thi du har været fremmed i hans Land.

You shall not abhor an Edomite, because he is your brother; you shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you were a stranger in his land.

8 De Børn, som de avle sig i det tredje Led, de maa komme i Herrens Menighed.

If sons be born to them, in the third generation they shall enter into the assembly of the Lord.

9 Naar du gaar ud af Lejren imod dine Fjender, da tag dig i Vare for al ond Handel.

And if you should go forth to engage with your enemies, then you shall keep you from every wicked thing.

10 Naar der er en Mand iblandt eder, som ikke er ren for det, som ham kunde hændes om Natten, da skal han gaa ud uden for Lejren, han skal ikke komme ind i Lejren.

If there should be in you a man who is not clean by reason of his issue by night, then he shall go forth out of the camp, and he shall not enter into the camp.

11 Og hen imod Aften skal han bade sig i Vand, og naar Solen gaar ned, skal han komme ind i Lejren.

And it shall come to pass towards evening he shall wash his body with water, and when the sun has gone down, he shall go into the camp.

12 Og du skal have et Sted uden for Lejren, og der skal du gaa hen udenfor.

And you shall have a place outside of the camp, and you shall go out there,

13 Og du skal have en Spade foruden dine Vaaben; og naar du sætter dig derude, da skal du grave dermed og vende dig om og skjule det, som er gaaet fra dig.

and you shall have a trowel on your girdle; and it shall come to pass when you would relieve yourself abroad, that you shall dig with it, and shall bring back the earth and cover your nuisance.

14 Thi Herren din Gud vandrer midt i din Lejr for at udfri dig og at give dine Fjender hen for dit Ansigt; og din Lejr skal være hellig, saa at han ikke skal se nogen ublu Ting hos dig og vende sig bort fra dig.

Because the Lord your God walks in your camp to deliver you, and to give up your enemy before your face; and your camp shall be holy, and there shall not appear in you a disgraceful thing, and [so] he shall turn away from you.

15 Du skal ikke overantvorde en Træl til sin Herre, naar han er undsluppen til dig fra sin Herre.

You shall not deliver a servant to his master, who [coming] from his master attaches himself to you.

16 Hos dig skal han blive, i din Midte, paa det Sted, som han udvælger sig til Gode i en af dine Porte; du skal ikke forfordele ham.

He shall dwell with you, he shall dwell amongst you where he shall please; you shall not afflict him.

17 Der skal ingen af Israels Døtre være en Skøge, og ingen af Israels Sønner skal være en Skørlevner.

There shall not be a harlot of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be a fornicator of the sons of Israel; there shall not be an idolatress of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be an initiated person of the sons of Israel.

18 Du skal ikke bringe Skøgeløn eller Hundefortjeneste i Herren din Guds Hus efter noget Løfte; thi begge Dele er Herren din Gud en Vederstyggelighed.

You shall not bring the hire of a harlot, nor the price of a dog into the house of the Lord your God, for any vow; because even both are an abomination to the Lord your God.

19 Du skal ikke tage Aager af din Broder, Pengeaager, Madaager eller Aager af nogen Ting, som der kan aagres med.

You shall not lend to your brother on usury of silver, or usury of meat, or usury of any thing which you may lend out.

20 Af en fremmed maa du tage Aager, men af din Broder maa du ikke tage Aager, at Herren din Gud maa velsigne dig i alt det, som du udrækker din Haand til i det Land, som du kommer hen til for at eje det.

You may lend on usury to a stranger, but to your brother you shall not lend on usury; that the Lord your God may bless you in all your works upon the land, into which you are entering to inherit it.

21 Naar du lover Herren din Gud et Løfte, da skal du ikke tøve med at betale det; thi Herren din Gud vil kræve det af dig, og det vil være dig en Synd.

And if you will vow a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it; for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and [otherwise] it shall be sin in you.

22 Men naar du lader være at love noget, skal det ikke være dig til Synd.

But if you should be unwilling to vow, it is not sin in you.

23 Det, som er udgaaet af dine Læber, skal du holde og gøre, saaledes som du har lovet Herren din Gud frivilligen det, som du har talet med din Mund.

You shall observe the words that proceed from between your lips; and as you have vowed a gift to the Lord God, [so] shall you do that which you have spoken with your mouth.

24 Naar du kommer i din Næstes Vingaard, da maa du æde Druer efter din Sjæls Lyst, til du er mæt; men du maa intet lægge i dit Kar.

And if you should go into the corn field of your neighbour, then you may gather the ears with your hands; but you shall not put the sickle to your neighbour's corn.

25 Naar du kommer i din Næstes staaende Korn, maa du plukke Aks med din Haand; men du maa ikke røre Seglen mod din Næstes staaende Korn.

And if you should go into the vineyard of your neighbour, you shall eat grapes sufficient to satisfy your desire; but you may not put them into a vessel.
