5 Mosebog 24
1 Naar en Mand tager en Hustru og ægter hende, og hun ikke finder Naade for hans Øjne, fordi han fandt ublu Handel hos hende, og han da skriver hende et Skilsmissebrev og giver det i hendes Haand og lader hende fare bort fra sit Hus,
And if any one should take a wife, and should dwell with her, then it shall come to pass if she should not have found favour before him, because he has found some unbecoming thing in her, that he shall write for her a bill of divorcement, and give it into her hands, and he shall send her away out of his house.
2 og hun da gaar ud af hans Hus og gaar bort og bliver en anden Mands,
And [if] she should go away and be married to another man;
3 og den samme anden Mand faar Had til hende og skriver hende et Skilsmissebrev og giver i hendes Haand og lader hende fare bort fra sit Hus; eller om den anden Mand dør, som tog hende til Hustru:
and the last husband should hate her, and write for her a bill of divorcement; and should give it into her hands, and send her away out of his house, and the last husband should die, who took her to himself for a wife;
4 Da maa ikke hendes første Mand, som lod hende fare, atter tage hende til sin Hustru, siden hun er bleven uren, thi det er en Vederstyggelighed for Herrens Ansigt; og du skal ikke gøre det Land syndigt, som Herren din Gud giver dig til Arv.
the former husband who sent her away shall not be able to return and take her to himself for a wife, after she has been defiled; because it is an abomination before the Lord thy God, and ye shall not defile the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit.
5 Naar en Mand nylig har taget en Hustru, skal han ikke drage ud i Striden, og man skal ingen Tynge lægge paa ham; han skal være fri i sit Hus eet Aar og være glad med sin Hustru, som han har taget.
And if any one should have recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any thing be laid upon him; he shall be free in his house; for one year he shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.
6 Man skal ikke tage begge Møllestene eller den øverste Møllesten til Pant; thi saa tager man Livet til Pant.
Thou shalt not take for a pledge the under millstone, nor the upper millstone; for he who does so takes life for a pledge.
7 Om nogen findes, som stjæler en Person af sine Brødre af Israels Børn og driver Handel med ham eller sælger ham, da skal samme Tyv dø, og du skal borttage den onde fra dig.
And if a man should be caught stealing one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and having overcome him he should sell him, that thief shall die; so shalt thou remove that evil one from yourselves.
8 Tag dig i Vare for Spedalskheds Plage, saa at du tager vel Vare paa og gør efter alt det, som Præsterne, Leviterne skulle lære eder; eftersom jeg har budet dem, skulle I tage Vare paa at gøre.
Take heed to thyself in [regard of] the plague of leprosy: thou shalt take great heed to do according to all the law, which the priests the Levites shall report to you; take heed to do, as I have charged you.
9 Kom i Hu, hvad Herren, din Gud gjorde ved Maria paa Vejen, der I droge ud af Ægypten.
Remember all that the Lord thy God did to Mariam in the way, when ye were going out of Egypt.
10 Dersom du udlaaner til din Næste noget Laan, da skal du ikke gaa ind i hans Hus og tage hans Pant.
If thy neighbour owe thee a debt, any debt whatsoever, thou shalt not go into his house to take his pledge:
11 Du skal staa udenfor, og den Mand, hvem du har laant noget, skal bære Pantet ud til dig udenfor.
thou shalt stand without, and the man who is in thy debt shall bring the pledge out to thee.
12 Men dersom han er en nødlidende Mand, da skal du ikke lægge dig til Hvile med hans Pant.
And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge.
13 Men du skal give ham Pantet tilbage, naar Solen gaar ned, at han kan lægge sig i sit Klædebon og velsigne dig; og det skal være dig en Retfærdighed for Herren din Guds Ansigt.
Thou shalt surely restore his pledge at sunset, and he shall sleep in his garment, and he shall bless thee; and it shall be mercy to thee before the Lord thy God.
14 Du skal ikke gøre en nødlidende og en fattig Daglønner Uret, være sig af dine Brødre eller af dine fremmede, som ere i dit Land inden dine Porte.
Thou shalt not unjustly withhold the wages of the poor and needy of thy brethren, or of the strangers who are in thy cities.
15 Du skal give ham hans Løn paa hans Dag, og Solen skal ikke gaa ned derover; thi han er nødlidende, og til den sætter han sin Hu; at han ikke skal raabe over dig til Herren, og det skal være dig til Synd.
Thou shalt pay him his wages the same day, the sun shall not go down upon it, because he is poor and he trusts in it; and he shall cry against thee to the Lord, and it shall be sin in thee.
16 Forældre skulle ikke dødes for Børn, og Børn skulle ikke dødes for Forældrene; de skulle dødes hver for sin Synd.
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the sons shall not be put to death for the fathers; every one shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 Du skal ikke bøje Retten for den fremmede, den faderløse, og ej tage en Enkes Klædebon til Pant.
Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of the stranger and the fatherless, and widow; thou shalt not take the widow's garment for a pledge.
18 Og du skal komme i Hu, at du var en Træl i Ægypten, og Herren din Gud udløste dig derfra; derfor byder jeg dig at gøre denne Gerning.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee from thence; therefore I charge thee to do this thing.
19 Naar du høster din Høst paa din Ager og har glemt et Neg paa Ageren, da skal du ikke vende tilbage at tage det; det skal høre den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken til, paa det at Herren din Gud maa velsigne dig i al dine Hænders Gerning.
And when thou shalt have reaped corn in thy field, and shalt have forgotten a sheaf in thy field, thou shalt not return to take it; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands.
20 Naar du ryster dit Olietræ, da skal du ikke siden efter gennemsøge Grenene; det skal høre den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken til.
And if thou shouldest gather thine olives, thou shalt not return to collect the remainder; it shall be for the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
21 Naar du plukker din Vingaard, da skal du ikke siden eftersanke; det skal høre den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken til.
And when soever thou shalt gather the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean what thou hast left; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow:
22 Og du skal komme i Hu, at du var en Træl i Ægyptens Land, derfor byder jeg dig at gøre denne Gerning.
and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
