3 Mosebog 18

1 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:

Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 Tal til Israels Børn, og du skal sige til dem: Jeg er Herren eders Gud.

“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: I am the LORD your God.

3 Efter Ægyptens Lands Gerning, hvor I boede, skulle I ikke gøre, og efter Kanaans Lands Gerning, hvor hen jeg vil føre eder, skulle I ikke gøre, og efter deres Skikke skulle I ikke vandre.

You must not follow the practices of the land of Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not follow the practices of the land of Canaan, into which I am bringing you. You must not walk in their customs.

4 I skulle gøre efter mine Bud og holde mine Skikke, saa at I vandre i dem; jeg er Herren eders Gud.

You are to practice My judgments and keep My statutes by walking in them. I am the LORD your God.

5 Og I skulle holde mine Skikke og mine Bud, hvilke et Menneske skal gøre og leve ved dem; jeg er Herren.

Keep My statutes and My judgments, for the man who does these things will live by them. I am the LORD.

6 Ingen af eder skal holde sig nær til sin næste Slægt, til at, blotte dennes Blusel; jeg er Herren.

None of you are to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD.

7 Du skal ikke blotte din Faders Blusel eller din Moders Blusel; hun er din Moder, du skal ikke blotte hendes Blusel.

You must not expose the nakedness of your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; you must not have sexual relations with her.

8 Du skal ikke blotte din Stivmoders Blusel; det er din Faders Blusel.

You must not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; it would dishonor your father.

9 Din Søsters Blusel, din Faders Datter eller din Moders Datter, enten hun er født hjemme eller født ude, deres Blusel skal du ikke blotte.

You must not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.

10 Din Sønnedatters eller din Datterdatters Blusel, deres Blusel skal du ikke blotte; thi de ere din Blusel.

You must not have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for that would shame your family.

11 Din Stivmoders Datters Blusel, hun som er din Fader født og er din Søster, hendes Blusel skal du ikke blotte.

You must not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife, born to your father; she is your sister.

12 Du skal ikke blotte din Faders Søsters Blusel, hun er din Faders næste Slægt.

You must not have sexual relations with your father’s sister; she is your father’s close relative.

13 Du skal ikke blotte din Moders Søsters Blusel; thi hun er din Moders næste Slægt.

You must not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s close relative.

14 Du skal ikke blotte din Farbroders Blusel; du skal ikke holde dig nær til hans Hustru; thi hun er din Faster.

You must not dishonor your father’s brother by approaching his wife to have sexual relations with her; she is your aunt.

15 Du skal ikke blotte din Sønnekvindes Blusel; thi hun er din Søns Hustru, du skal ikke blotte hendes Blusel.

You must not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife; you are not to have sexual relations with her.

16 Du skal ikke blotte din Broders Hustrus Blusel; det er din Broders Blusel.

You must not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife; that would shame your brother.

17 Du skal ikke blotte en Hustrus og hendes Datters Blusel; du skal ikke tage hendes Søns Datter eller hendes Datters Datter, at blotte hendes Blusel; thi de ere hendes næste Slægt; det er en Skændsel.

You must not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. You are not to marry her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter and have sexual relations with her. They are close relatives; it is depraved.

18 Og du skal ikke tage en Hustru tillige med hendes Søster, til at vække hendes Skinsyge, at blotte hendes Blusel tillige med hins, medens hun lever.

You must not take your wife’s sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is still alive.

19 Og din Hustru i hendes Urenheds Svaghed, skal du ikke komme nær, til at blotte hendes Blusel.

You must not approach a woman to have sexual relations with her during her menstrual period.

20 Og du skal ikke ligge hos din Næstes Hustru til at avle, til at blive uren ved hende.

You must not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife and thus defile yourself with her.

21 Og af dit Afkom skal du ikke lade nogen gaa igennem Ilden for Molek; og du skal ikke vanhellige din Guds Navn; jeg er Herren.

You must not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

22 Og du skal ikke ligge hos Mandkøn, som man ligger hos en Kvinde; det er en Vederstyggelighed.

You must not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination.

23 Og du skal ikke beblande dig med noget Kvæg til at besmittes ved det, og ingen Kvinde skal have at skaffe med noget Kvæg til Samleje; det er en Skændighed.

You must not lie carnally with any animal, thus defiling yourself with it; a woman must not stand before an animal to mate with it; that is a perversion.

24 Gører eder ikke urene ved alt dette, thi ved alt dette ere Hedningerne, hvilke jeg uddriver for eder, blevne urene.

Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for by all these things the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves.

25 Og Landet er blevet urent, og jeg har hjemsøgt dets Misgerning paa det; og Landet skal udspy sine Indbyggere.

Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.

26 Og I skulle holde mine Skikke og mine Bud og ikke gøre nogen af alle disse Vederstyggeligheder, hverken den indfødte eller den fremmede, som opholder sig midt iblandt eder;

But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances, and you must not commit any of these abominations—neither your native-born nor the foreigner who lives among you.

27 thi dette Lands Folk, som var før eder, har gjort alle disse Vederstyggeligheder, og Landet er blevet urent;

For the men who were in the land before you committed all these abominations, and the land has become defiled.

28 at Landet ikke skal udspy eder, naar I gøre det urent, lige som det udspyr det Folk, som var før eder.

So if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you.

29 Thi hver den, som gør nogen af alle disse Vederstyggeligheder, de som gøre det, skulle udryddes midt af deres Folk.

Therefore anyone who commits any of these abominations must be cut off from among his people.

30 Saa holder det, jeg vil have holdt, at I ikke gøre nogen af de vederstyggelige Skikke, som ere gjorte før eder, at I ikke skulle gøre eder urene ved dem; jeg er Herren eders Gud.

You must keep My charge not to practice any of the abominable customs that were practiced before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am the LORD your God.”
