3 Mosebog 20
1 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
The Lord told Moses,
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.
“Tell the Israelites: these regulations are for both Israelites and foreigners living among them. Anyone who sacrifices their children to Molech must be executed. The community must stone them to death.
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.
I will disown them and expel them from their people, because by sacrificing their children to Molech they have polluted my sanctuary and disgraced my reputation.
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,
If the community decides to look the other way and not execute those who sacrifice their children to Molech, then I will take action against them myself.
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 disown them and their family, and expel them from their people—and not just them, but everyone who follows them in spiritually prostituting themselves with Molech.
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.
I will also disown and expel from their people anyone who goes to mediums or spiritists and in this way commits spiritual prostitution with them.
7 Derfor helliger eder og værer hellige; thi jeg er Herren eders Gud.
So dedicate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God.
8 Og holder mine Skikke, og gører dem; jeg er Herren, som gør eder hellige.
Keep my rules and put them into practice. I am the Lord who makes you holy.
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.
Anyone who curses their father or mother must be executed. They have cursed their father or mother; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
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.
Any man who commits adultery with someone else's wife must be executed, as well as the woman.
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.

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.

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.
A man who marries both a woman and her mother has acted perversely. They must all be burned to death so that there will be no such wickedness among you.
15 Og en Mand, som ligger hos et Dyr, skal visselig dødes, og Dyret skulle I dræbe.
A man who has sex with an animal must be executed, and the animal must be killed too.
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.
A woman who gives herself to an animal to have sex with it must be executed, along with the animal. They must both be killed; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
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.
A man who marries his sister, whether she's his father's daughter or his mother's daughter, and they have sex, has done something shameful. They must be expelled from their people in front of everybody. He has brought shame on his sister; he bears the responsibility for his punishment.
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.
A man who has sex with a woman having her period he has exposed where her blood flow comes from, and she has too. They must both be expelled from 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.
Don't have sex with your aunt, whether on your father or your mother's side, because it brings shame on your own family. Both will bear responsibility for their sin.
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.

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.
So keep all my rules and regulations, so that the land where I'm taking you to live won't vomit you out.
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.
Don't follow the practices of the nations I'm expelling for you. I detested them because they did all these evil things.
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 have promised you that you will take over their land. I'm going to give it to you to own, a land that flows with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who has made you a distinctive people different from all others.
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.
So make sure you observe the difference between clean and unclean animals and birds. Don't make yourselves unclean because of any animal or bird, or by anything that runs along the ground. I have made the difference clear: they are unclean for you.
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 to me because I am holy. I am the Lord, and I have made you a distinctive people different from all other nations. You belong to me.
