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 shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a 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 shall be found breaking through, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
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.
If the sun shall have risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall 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 theft shall be certainly found in his hand alive, whether an ox, or donkey, or sheep; he shall restore 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 shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man’s field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
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 fire shall break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field, shall be consumed; he that kindled the fire shall 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 shall deliver to his neighbour money or goods to keep, and it be stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief shall be found, let him 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.
If the thief shall not be found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges, to see whether he hath put his hand to his neighbour’s goods.
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 all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and he whom the judges shall condemn, shall pay double to his neighbour.
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 shall deliver to his neighbour a donkey, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it shall die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man 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.
Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand to his neighbour’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept of it, and he shall not make restitution.
12 Men bliver det stjaalet fra ham, da skal han betale dets Ejermand det.
And if it shall be stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it.
13 Men bliver det sønderrevet, da skal han føre det frem til et Vidnesbyrd; han skal ikke betale det, som er sønderrevet.
If it shall be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which 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.
And if a man shall borrow any thing from his neighbour, and it shall be hurt, or die, the owner of it being not with it, he shall surely make it good.
15 Dersom dets Ejermand er derhos, da skal han ikke betale; dersom det er lejet, da regnes det for Lejen.
But if the owner of it shall be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.
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.
And if a man shall entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
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 shall utterly refuse to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 Du skal ikke lade en Troldkvinde leve.
Thou shalt not allow a witch to live.
19 Hver som ligger hos et Dyr, skal visselig dødes.
Whoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
20 Hvo som ofrer til Guderne og ikke til Herren alene, skal være forbandet.
He that sacrificeth to any god, except to the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
21 Og du skal ikke plage en fremmed og ikke undertrykke ham; thi I have været fremmede i Ægyptens Land.
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22 I skulle ikke plage nogen Enke eller faderløs.
Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
23 Dersom du plager ham, og han raaber til mig, da skal jeg visselig høre hans Raab.
If thou shalt afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
24 Saa optændes min Vrede, og jeg ihjelslaar eder med Sværd, og eders Hustruer skulle blive Enker og eders Børn faderløse.
And my wrath shall burn, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children 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 thou shalt lend money to any of my people that is poor among you, thou shalt not be to him as a money-lender, neither shalt thou charge him interest.
26 Dersom du tager din Næstes Klædebon til Pant, da skal du give ham det igen, førend Solen gaar ned.
If thou shalt at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it to him by the setting of the sun.
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 raiment for his skin: what shall he sleep in? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth to me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
28 Du skal ikke bande Gud, og den øverste iblandt dit Folk skal du ikke ønske ondt over.
Thou shalt not revile the judges, nor curse the ruler of thy 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.
Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give to me.
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.
Likewise shalt thou do with thy oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it 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.
And ye shall be holy men to me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
