2 Mosebog 22
1 Naar nogen stjæler en Okse eller et Lam og slagter det eller sælger det, skal han betale fem Okser for Oksen og fire Lam for Lammet.
If a man steals an ox or a sheep and kills it or sells it, then he must pay five oxen for one ox, and four sheep for one sheep.
2 Om nogen Tyv bliver greben, idet han bryder ind, og bliver slagen og dør, skal ingen Bloddom udgaa for hans Skyld.
If a thief is found breaking in, and if he is struck so that he dies, in that case no guilt for murder will attach to anyone on his account.
3 Men er Solen opgangen over ham, da skal Bloddom udgaa for hans Skyld. Tyven skal betale; men har han intet, da skal han sælges for sit Tyveri.
But if the sun has risen before he breaks in, guilt for murder will attach to the person who kills him. A thief must make restitution. If he has nothing, then he must be sold for his theft.
4 Dersom det stjaalne findes i hans Vold, hvad enten det er Okse eller Asen eller Lam, som er levende, skal han betale dobbelt.
If the stolen animal is found alive in his possession, whether it is an ox, a donkey, or a sheep, he must pay back double.
5 Naar nogen lader afæde Ager eller Vingaard, idet han slaar sit Kvæg løs, og det afæder en andens Ager, da skal han betale af det bedste paa sin Ager og af det bedste i sin Vingaard.
If a man grazes his livestock in a field or vineyard and lets his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field, he must make restitution from the best of his own field and from the best of his own vineyard.
6 Om Ild farer ud og griber fat i Torne, og Negene eller det staaende Korn eller Ageren ødelægges, da skal han, som antændte Branden, visselig betale.
If a fire breaks out and spreads in thorns so that stacked grain, or standing grain, or a field is consumed, the one who started the fire must surely make restitution.
7 Om nogen flyr sin Næste Penge eller Tøj at forvare, og det bliver stjaalet af Mandens Hus, skal Tyven, hvis han findes, betale dobbelt.
If a man gives money or goods to his neighbor for safe keeping, and if it is stolen out of the man's house, if the thief is found, that thief must pay double.
8 Men findes Tyven ikke, da skal Husbonden føres frem for Gud at vidne, at han ikke har lagt sin Haand paa sin Næstes Tøj.
But if the thief is not found, then the owner of the house must come before the judges to see whether he has put his own hand on his neighbor's property.
9 Hvad angaar al svigagtig Handel, om Okse, Asen, Lam, Klæder, om alt, hvad der er tabt, om hvilket nogen siger, at dette er hans, da skal begges Sag komme for Gud; hvem Gud siger at være skyldig, han skal betale sin Næste dobbelt.
For every dispute about something, whether it is an ox, a donkey, a sheep, clothing, or any other missing thing about which one says, “This belongs to me,” the claim of both parties must come before the judges. The man whom the judges find guilty must pay double to his neighbor.
10 Naar nogen flyr sin Næste Asen eller Okse eller Lam eller andet Kvæg at passe paa, og det dør, eller det kommer til Skade, eller det bortføres, og ingen ser det,
If a man gives his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and if it dies or is hurt or is carried away without anyone seeing it,
11 da skal Ed ved Herren være imellem dem begge, at han ikke har lagt sin Haand paa sin Næstes Gods, og den skal dets Ejermand tage for god, og den anden skal ikke betale.
an oath to Yahweh must be taken by them both, as to whether or not one person has put his hand on his neighbor's property. The owner must accept this, and the other will make no restitution.
12 Men bliver det stjaalet fra ham, da skal han betale dets Ejermand det.
But if it was stolen from him, the other must make restitution to the owner for it.
13 Men bliver det sønderrevet, da skal han føre det frem til et Vidnesbyrd; han skal ikke betale det, som er sønderrevet.
If an animal was torn in pieces, let the other man bring the animal as evidence. He will not have to pay for what was torn.
14 Og naar nogen laaner noget af sin Næste, og det kommer til Skade eller dør, da skal han, hvis Ejermanden ikke er til Stede, betale det.
If a man borrows any animal from his neighbor and the animal is injured or dies without the owner being with it, the other man must surely make restitution.
15 Dersom dets Ejermand er derhos, da skal han ikke betale; dersom det er lejet, da regnes det for Lejen.
But if the owner was with it, the other man will not have to pay; if the animal was hired, it will be paid for by its hiring fee.
16 Og naar nogen lokker en Jomfru, som ikke er trolovet, og ligger hos hende, da skal han visselig give Morgengave for hende og tage sig hende til Hustru.
If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged, and if he sleeps with her, he must surely make her his wife by paying the bride wealth required for this.
17 Men om hendes Fader vægrer sig ved at give ham hende, da skal han tilveje Penge efter Morgengave for en Jomfru.
If her father completely refuses to give her to him, he must pay money equal to the bride wealth of virgins.
18 Du skal ikke lade en Troldkvinde leve.
You must not allow a sorceress to live.
19 Hver som ligger hos et Dyr, skal visselig dødes.
Whoever sleeps with a beast must surely be put to death.
20 Hvo som ofrer til Guderne og ikke til Herren alene, skal være forbandet.
Whoever sacrifices to any god except to Yahweh must be completely destroyed.
21 Og du skal ikke plage en fremmed og ikke undertrykke ham; thi I have været fremmede i Ægyptens Land.
You must not wrong a foreigner or oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
22 I skulle ikke plage nogen Enke eller faderløs.
You must not mistreat any widow or fatherless child.
23 Dersom du plager ham, og han raaber til mig, da skal jeg visselig høre hans Raab.
If you afflict them at all, and if they call out to me, I will surely hear their call.
24 Saa optændes min Vrede, og jeg ihjelslaar eder med Sværd, og eders Hustruer skulle blive Enker og eders Børn faderløse.
My anger will burn, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows, and your children will become fatherless.
25 Dersom du laaner mit Folk Penge, nemlig den fattige hos dig, da skal du ikke være ham som en Aagerkarl; I skulle ikke lægge Aager paa ham.
If you lend money to any of my people among you who are poor, you must not be like a moneylender to him or charge him interest.
26 Dersom du tager din Næstes Klædebon til Pant, da skal du give ham det igen, førend Solen gaar ned.
If you take your neighbor's garment in pledge, you must return it to him before the sun goes down,
27 Thi det er hans eneste Skjul, det er hans Klædebon for hans Krop; deri ligger han; og det skal ske, naar han raaber til mig, da skal jeg høre det, thi jeg er naadig.
for that is his only covering; it is his garment for his body. What else can he sleep in? When he calls out to me, I will hear him, for I am compassionate.
28 Du skal ikke bande Gud, og den øverste iblandt dit Folk skal du ikke ønske ondt over.
You must not blaspheme me, God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
29 Du skal ikke tøve med at give mig af din Lades Fylde og din Vinperses Væde; du skal give mig den førstefødte af dine Sønner.
You must not hold back offerings from your harvest or your winepresses. You must give to me the firstborn of your sons.
30 Saaledes skal du gøre med din Okse og med dit Faar; det skal være syv Dage hos sin Moder, paa den ottende Dag skal du give mig det.
You must also do the same with your oxen and your sheep. For seven days they may remain with their mothers, but on the eighth day you must give them to me.
31 Og I skulle være mig aldeles hellige Mennesker og ikke æde Kød, som er sønderrevet paa Marken; for Hunde skulle I kaste det.
You will be people that are set apart for me. So you must not eat any meat that was torn by animals in the field. Instead, you must throw it to the dogs.
