3 Mosebog 20
1 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
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 Israeli people, ‘[This is what Yahweh says]: Any Israeli or any foreigner who is living in Israel who sacrifices any of his children to be an offering to the god Molech must be executed. The people of the town must kill him by throwing stones at 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.
I will reject [IDM] such people and command that they no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
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 people of that man’s town ignore it when he kills one of his children to offer him as a sacrifice to Molech, and if they do not execute that person,
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 myself will punish that person and his family, and I will command that he no longer be able to associate with my people. And I will do the same thing to any others who do the same thing that he did to worship 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.
‘will reject [IDM] those who go to those who (consult/talk with) the spirits of dead people and fortune-tellers to seek advice from them. I will command that they no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
7 Derfor helliger eder og værer hellige; thi jeg er Herren eders Gud.
‘Set yourselves apart and be holy, because I, Yahweh your God, am holy, [and I want you to be like me].
8 Og holder mine Skikke, og gører dem; jeg er Herren, som gør eder hellige.
Obey carefully [DOU] all my laws. I am Yahweh, the one will cause you to be 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.
‘If anyone curses his father or his mother, he must be executed. He himself will be responsible for his own death [MTY].
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 a man commits adultery with some other man’s wife, both of them, the man and the woman, must be executed.
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.
‘If a man has sex with [EUP] one of his father’s wives, he has disgraced his father. So both that man and that woman must be executed, they will be responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
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 a man has sex with [EUP] his daughter-in-law, both of them must be executed. What they have done is very perverse; and they will be responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
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 two men have sex together, they have done something detestable. They must both be executed, they will be responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
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 a man marries both a woman and her mother, that is a wicked thing. All three of them must be burned to death, in order that such a wicked practice will not [continue to be done] among you.
15 Og en Mand, som ligger hos et Dyr, skal visselig dødes, og Dyret skulle I dræbe.
‘If a man has sex with an animal, he must be executed, and you must also kill that animal.
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.
‘[Similarly], if a woman has sex with an animal, both the woman and that animal must be killed [DOU]; they are responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
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.
‘If a man marries his sister, the daughter of either his mother or his father, and they have sex together, that is disgraceful. They must not be allowed to continue to associate with my people. And because he has disgraced his sister, he must be punished.
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.
‘If a man has sex with [EUP, DOU] a woman during her monthly menstrual period, they have both revealed why she was bleeding, so both of them must not be allowed to associate with my people any more.
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.
‘Do not have sex with the sister of either your father or your mother, because that would be disgracing someone who is a close relative. And you and the woman must both be punished.
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 a man has sex [EUP] with his aunt, he has dishonored his uncle. I will punish both of them by causing them to die without having any 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.
‘If a man marries his brother’s wife [while his brother is still living], that is disgraceful. He has dishonored his brother; and they both will die without having any 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.
‘Obey all my laws/decrees [DOU] carefully, in order that you will not be forced to leave [MET] the land to which I am bringing you.
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 imitate/adopt the customs of the people of the land from which I will expel them as you advance. I hated them because they did all those 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 said to you, “You will take their land from them; I will give it to you to be yours, a land that is very fertile [IDM]. I am Yahweh your God, who has set you apart from the people of other nations.”
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 you must distinguish between birds and animals that are unacceptable to me and those that are acceptable to me. Do not defile yourselves by [eating] birds or animals, or anything that scurries across the ground, that I have said are unacceptable 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 must behave in ways that I consider to be holy, because I, Yahweh, am holy, and I have set you apart from the [ungodly people of other] nations to belong to me.
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.
‘You must execute any man or woman among you who (consults/talks with) the spirits of dead people or who is a fortune-teller. Kill them by [throwing] stones at them; but they will be responsible for their own deaths.’”
