5 Mosebog 23

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

No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off may enter 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.

No one of illegitimate birth shall enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation shall none of his 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;

An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation shall none belonging to them enter into the assembly of the LORD forever:

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 did not meet you with bread and with water in the way, when you came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Aram Naharaim, 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.

Nevertheless the LORD your God wouldn't listen to Balaam; but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, 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 seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.

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; for he is your brother: you shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.

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

The children of the third generation who are born to them 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.

When you go forth in camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves from every evil 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 is among you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens him by night, then shall he go outside of the camp. He shall not come within the camp:

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

but it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.

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

You shall have a place also outside of the camp, where you shall go outside 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 spade among your tools; and it shall be, when you sit down outside, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn and cover that which comes from you:

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.

for the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and 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 to his master a servant who is escaped from his master 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, in the midst of you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best: you shall not oppress him.

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

There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sacred male prostitute of the children 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 prostitute, or the wages of a dog, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow: for even both these 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 on interest to your brother; interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest:

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.

to a foreigner you may lend on interest; but to your brother you shall not lend on interest, that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to possess 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.

When you shall vow a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not be slack to pay it: for the LORD your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.

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

But if you shall forbear to vow, it shall be no 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.

That which is gone out of your lips you shall observe and do; according as you have vowed to the LORD your God, a freewill offering, which you have promised 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.

When you come into your neighbor's vineyard, then you may eat of grapes your fill at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your vessel.

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.

When you come into your neighbor's standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not move a sickle to your neighbor's standing grain.
