3 Mosebog 20
1 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Og du skal sige til Israels Børn: Hvo som helst af Israels Børn eller af de fremmede, som opholde sig i Israel, der hengiver nogen af sin Sæd til Molek, skal visselig dødes; Folket i Landet skulle stene ham med Stene.
You shall speak these things to the sons of Israel: A man among the sons Israel, or among the newcomers who live in Israel, if he will have given from his seed to the idol Moloch, he shall be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him.
3 Og jeg vil sætte mit Ansigt imod denne Mand, og jeg vil udrydde ham midt af sit Folk, fordi han hengav af sin Sæd til Molek, til at gøre min Helligdom uren og at vanhellige mit hellige Navn.
And I will set my face against him. And I will cut him down from the midst of his people, because he has given from his seed to Moloch, and he has contaminated my Sanctuary, and polluted my holy name.
4 Og dersom Folket i Landet ser igennem Fingre med det samme Menneske, naar han hengiver nogen af sin Sæd til Molek, saa at de ikke ihjelslaa ham,
But if the people of the land, having been neglectful and holding little regard for my authority, release the man who has given from his seed to Moloch, and they are not willing to kill him,
5 da vil jeg sætte mit Ansigt imod det Menneske og imod hans Slægt; og ham og alle dem, som efterfølge hans Bolen med at bole med Molek, vil jeg udrydde midt af deres Folk.
I will set my face over that man and over his kindred, and I will cut down both him and all who consented with him to fornicate with Moloch, from the midst of their people.
6 Og naar en Person vender sig til Spaakvinder eller til Tegnsudlæggere, til at bole med dem, da vil jeg sætte mit Ansigt imod denne Person, og jeg vil udrydde ham fra hans Folk.
The soul who will have turned aside to astrologers and soothsayers, and who will have fornicated with them, I will set my face against him, and I will destroy him from the midst of his people.
7 Derfor helliger eder og værer hellige; thi jeg er Herren eders Gud.
Be sanctified and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.
8 Og holder mine Skikke, og gører dem; jeg er Herren, som gør eder hellige.
Observe my precepts, and do them. I am the Lord, who sanctifies you.
9 Thi hvo som helst der bander sin Fader eller sin Moder, skal visselig dødes; han bandede sin Fader eller sin Moder, hans Blod være over ham.
Whoever curses his father or mother shall die a death; he has cursed his father and mother. So let his blood be upon him.
10 Og en Mand, som bedriver Hor med en Mands Hustru, den, som bedriver Hor med sin Næstes Hustru, den Horkarl og den Horekone skal visselig dødes.
If anyone will have committed sexual acts with the wife of another, or will have perpetrated adultery with his neighbor’s spouse, they shall die a death, both the adulterer and the adulteress.
11 Og en Mand, som ligger hos sin Faders Hustru, han har blottet sin Faders Blusel; de skulle begge visselig dødes, deres Blod skal være over dem.
Whoever will have slept with his stepmother, or will have uncovered the shame of his father, they shall both die a death. So let their blood be upon them.
12 Og naar en Mand ligger hos sin Søns Hustru, da skulle de begge visselig dødes; de have gjort en Skændighed, deres Blod skal være over dem.
If any man will have slept with his daughter-in-law, both shall die, for they have acted according to wickedness. So let their blood be upon them.
13 Og naar en Mand ligger hos en Mandsperson, som man ligger hos en Kvinde, da have de begge gjort en Vederstyggelighed; de skulle visselig dødes, deres Blod skal være over dem.
If any man has slept with a male in place of sexual intercourse with a female, both have committed a nefarious act, they shall die a death. So let their blood be upon them.
14 Og naar en Mand tager en Kvinde og hendes Moder til Ægte, er det en Skændsel; de skulle brænde baade ham og dem med Ild, og der skal ikke være nogen Skændsel iblandt eder.
If any man, having taken the daughter as a wife, will have married her mother, he has acted according to wickedness. He shall be burnt alive with them. Neither shall so great a nefarious act persist in your midst.
15 Og en Mand, som ligger hos et Dyr, skal visselig dødes, og Dyret skulle I dræbe.
Whoever will have committed sexual acts with any animal or cattle, he shall die a death. Likewise, you shall slay the beast.
16 Og naar en Kvinde kommer nær til noget Dyr, at det har Fællesskab med hende, da skal du ihjelslaa baade Kvinden og Dyret; de skulle visselig dødes, deres Blod skal være over dem.
The woman who will have lain under any animal at all shall be destroyed together with it. So let their blood be upon them.
17 Og naar en Mand tager sin Søster, sin Faders Datter eller sin Moders Datter, til Ægte, og ser hendes Blusel, og hun ser hans Blusel, saa er det en gruelig Ting, og de skulle udryddes for deres Folks Børns Øjne; han blottede sin Søsters Blusel, han skal bære sin Misgerning.
Whoever will have taken his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother, and will have seen her nakedness, and she will have looked upon her brother’s shame, they have committed a nefarious act. They shall be slain in the sight of their people, because they have uncovered one another’s nakedness. And they shall bear their iniquity.
18 Og naar en Mand ligger hos en Hustru, som er svag, og blotter hendes Blusel, blotter hendes Kilde, og hun blotter sin Blods Kilde, da skulle de begge udryddes af deres Folk.
Whoever has sexual intercourse with a woman in her menstrual flow, and has uncovered her nakedness, and she has opened the fountain of her blood, both shall be destroyed from the midst of their people.
19 Og du skal ikke blotte din Moders Søsters og din Faders Søsters Blusel; thi en saadan har blottet sin næste Slægt, de skulle bære deres Misgerning.
You shall not expose the nakedness of your maternal or paternal aunt. Whoever does this has laid bare the shame of his own flesh; both shall bear their iniquity.
20 Og naar en Mand ligger hos sin Farbroders Hustru, han har blottet sin Farbroders Blusel; de skulle bære deres Synd, de skulle dø barnløse.
If any man has had sexual intercourse with the wife of his paternal or maternal uncle, and he has uncovered the shame of his close relative, both shall bear their sin. They shall die without children.
21 Og dersom en Mand tager sin Broders Hustru til Ægte, det er en slem Gerning; han blottede sin Broders Blusel, de skulle være barnløse.
Whoever will have married his brother’s wife has done an unlawful thing; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be without children.
22 Saa skulle I holde alle mine Skikke og alle mine Bud og gøre dem, at Landet, som jeg vil føre eder ind udi, til at bo derudi, ikke skal udspy eder.
Observe my laws as well as my judgments, and act according to them, lest the land, into which you will enter and live, may vomit you out, too.
23 Og I skulle ikke vandre i det Folks Skikke, hvilket jeg skal udkaste for eder; thi alle disse Ting have de gjort, og jeg væmmedes ved dem.
Do not be willing to walk by the ordinances of the nations, which I will expel before you. For they have done all these things, and so I abominate them.
24 Men jeg siger eder: I skulle eje deres Land, og jeg vil give eder det til Eje, et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning. Jeg er Herren eders Gud, som har udskilt eder fra Folkene.
But I say to you: Possess their land, which I will give to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from the other peoples.
25 Og I skulle gøre Skilsmisse imellem rene og urene Dyr og imellem urene og rene Fugle; og I skulle ikke gøre eders Sjæle vederstyggelige med Dyr og med Fugle og med alt det, som kryber paa Jorden, hvilket jeg har fraskilt for eder, at I skulle holde det urent.
Therefore, you must also separate the clean animals from the unclean, and the clean birds from the unclean. Do not pollute your souls with cattle, or birds, or anything that moves upon the earth, and which I have shown you to be unclean.
26 Derfor skulle I være mig hellige, thi jeg Herren er hellig; og jeg har udskilt eder fra Folkene til at høre mig til.
You shall be holy unto me, because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples, so that you would be mine.
27 Og naar af Mand eller Kvinde nogen er en Spaamand eller Tegnsudlægger, skulle de visselig dødes; de skulle stene dem ihjel, deres Blod være over dem.
A man or a woman, in whom there is an oracle-like or a divining spirit, shall be put to death. They shall stone them. So let their blood be upon them.
