5 Mosebog 25
1 Naar der er Trætte imellem Mænd, og de komme frem for Retten, at man skal dømme dem, da skal man dømme den retfærdige at være retfærdig og dømme den skyldige at være skyldig.
And if there should be a dispute between men, and they should come forward to judgment, and [the judges] judge, and justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked:
2 Og det skal ske, om den skyldige har fortjent at slaas, da skal Dommeren lade ham lægge sig ned og lade ham slaa for sit Ansigt efter hans Skyld med et vist Antal Slag.
then it shall come to pass, if the unrighteous should be worthy of stripes, thou shalt lay him down before the judges, and they shall scourge him before them according to his iniquity.
3 Man skal slaa ham fyrretyve Slag, man skal ikke lægge flere til, og man skal ikke blive ved at slaa ham mange Slag ud over disse, saa at din Broder ringeagtes for dine Øjne.
And they shall scourge him with forty stripes in number, they shall not inflict more; for if thou shouldest scourge him [with] more stripes beyond these stripes, thy brother will be disgraced before thee.
4 Du skal ikke binde Munden til paa en Okse, naar den tærsker.
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treads out the corn.
5 Naar Brødre bo til Hobe, og en dør af dem, og han har ingen Søn, da skal den dødes Hustru ikke vorde en fremmed Mands uden for Slægten; hendes Mands Broder skal komme ind til hende og tage hende til sin Hustru og ægte hende i sin Broders Sted.
And if brethren should live together, and one of them should die, and should not have seed, the wife of the deceased shall not marry out [of the family] to a man not related: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and shall take her to himself for a wife, and shall dwell with her.
6 Og det skal ske, den førstefødte, som hun føder, skal opføres efter hans døde Broders Navn, at dennes Navn ikke skal udslettes af Israel.
And it shall come to pass that the child which she shall bear, shall be named by the name of the deceased, and his name shall not be blotted out of Israel.
7 Men om Manden ikke har Lyst til at tage sin Broders Hustru, da skal hans Broders Hustru gaa op til Porten til de Ældste og sige: Min Mands Broder vægrer sig ved at oprejse sin Broder et Navn i Israel og vil ikke ægte mig i sin Broders Sted.
And if the man should not be willing to take his brother's wife, then shall the woman go up to the gate to the elders, and she shall say, My husband's brother will not raise up the name of his brother in Israel, my husband's brother has refused.
8 Saa skulle de Ældste af hans Stad kalde ham og tale til ham; naar han staar fast derved og siger: Jeg har ikke Lyst til at tage hende,
And the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him; and if he stand and say, I will not take her:
9 da skal hans Broders Hustru komme frem til ham for de Ældstes Øjne og drage hans Sko af hans Fod og spytte ham i hans Ansigt; og hun skal svare og sige: Saa skal der gøres ved den Mand, som ikke vil bygge sin Broders Hus.
then his brother's wife shall come forward before the elders, and shall loose one shoe from off his foot, and shall spit in his face, and shall answer and say, Thus shall they do to the man who will not build his brother's house in Israel.
10 Og hans Navn skal kaldes i Israel: Den barfodedes Hus.
And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that has had his shoe loosed.
11 Naar Mænd trættes sammen, den ene med den anden, og den enes Hustru kommer nær til for at udfri sin Mand af hans Haand, som slaar ham, og hun rækker sin Haand ud og tager fat paa dennes Blusel:
And if men should strive together, a man with his brother, and the wife of one of them should advance to rescue her husband out of the hand of him that smites him, and she should stretch forth her hand, and take hold of his private parts;
12 Da skal du afhugge hendes Haand; dit Øje skal ikke spare.
thou shalt cut off her hand; thine eye shall not spare her.
13 Du skal ikke have tvende Slags Vægt i din Pose, en stor og en liden.
Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
14 Du skal ikke have to Slags Efa i dit Hus, en stor og en liden.
Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.
15 Du skal have en fuldkommen og ret Vægt, du skal have en fuldkommen og ret Efa, paa det dine Dage skulle forlænges i det Land, som Herren din Gud giver dig.
Thou shalt have a true and just weight, and a true and just measure, that thou mayest live long upon the land which the Lord thy God gives thee for an inheritance.
16 Thi hver som gør dette, er en Vederstyggelighed for Herren din Gud, enhver som gør Uret.
For every one that does this [is] an abomination to the Lord thy God, even every one that does injustice.
17 Kom i Hu, hvad Amalek gjorde dig paa Vejen, der I droge ud af Ægypten,
Remember what things Amalec did to thee by the way, when thou wentest forth out of the land of Egypt:
18 hvorledes han kom imod dig paa Vejen og slog din Bagtrop, alle de udmattede, som droge efter dig, der du var træt og mødig; og han frygtede ikke Gud.
how he withstood thee in the way, and harassed thy rear, [even] those that were weary behind thee, and thou didst hunger and wast weary; and he did not fear God.
19 Og det skal ske, naar Herren din Gud faar skaffet dig Rolighed for alle dine Fjender trindt omkring i Landet, som Herren din Gud giver dig til Arv for at eje det, da skal du udslette Amaleks Ihukommelse under Himmelen; du skal ikke glemme det.
And it shall come to pass whenever the Lord thy God shall have given thee rest from all thine enemies round about thee, in the land which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit, thou shalt blot out the name of Amalec from under heaven, and shalt not forget [to do it].
