5 Mosebog 13
1 Naar en Profet eller en, der har Drømme, opstaar i din Midte og forkynder dig et Tegn eller et Under,
If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and if he gives you a sign or a wonder,
2 og det Tegn og Under, han talte til dig om, indtræffer, og han samtidig opfordrer eder til at holde eder til andre Guder, som I ikke før kendte til, og dyrke dem,
and if the sign or the wonder comes about, of which he spoke to you and said, 'Let us go after other gods, that you have not known, and let us worship them,'
3 saa maa du ikke høre paa den Profets Tale eller paa den, der har Drømmen; thi HERREN eders Gud sætter eder paa Prøve for at se, om I elsker HERREN eders Gud af hele eders Hjerte og hele eders Sjæl.
do not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for Yahweh your God is testing you to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 HERREN eders Gud skal I holde eder til, ham skal I frygte, hans Bud skal I holde, hans Røst skal I adlyde, ham skal I tjene, og ved ham skal I holde fast.
You will walk after Yahweh your God, honor him, keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you will worship him and cling to him.
5 Men hin Profet eller den, der har Drømmen, skal lide Døden; thi fra HERREN eders Gud, som førte eder ud af Ægypten og udløste dig af Trællehuset, har han prædiket Frafald for at drage dig bort fra den Vej, HERREN din Gud bød dig at vandre paa; og du skal udrydde det onde af din Midte.
That prophet or that dreamer of dreams will be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and who redeemed you out of the house of bondage. That prophet wants to draw you out of the way in which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk. So put away the evil from among you.
6 Dersom din Broder eller Halvbroder, din Søn eller Datter, din Hustru, som du favner, eller din Ven, der er dig kær som dit eget Liv, hemmeligt vil lokke dig til at gaa hen og dyrke andre Guder, som hverken du eller dine Fædre før kendte til,
Suppose that your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is to you like your own soul, secretly entices you and says, 'Let us go and worship other gods that you have not known, neither you nor your ancestors—
7 af de Folkeslags Guder, der bor rundt om eder, være sig nær eller fjernt, fra den ene Ende af Jorden til den anden,
any of the gods of the peoples that are round about you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth to the other end of the earth.'
8 saa maa du ikke føje ham eller høre paa ham; og du maa ikke have Medlidenhed med ham, vise ham Skaansel eller holde Haand over ham,
You must not give in to him or listen to him, and you must not permit your eye to pity him, and you must not spare him or conceal him.
9 men du skal slaa ham ihjel; din Haand skal være den første, der løfter sig imod ham for at slaa ham ihjel, siden alle de andres Haand.
Instead, you will surely kill him; your hand will be the first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
10 Du skal stene ham til Døde, fordi han søgte at forføre dig til Frafald fra HERREN din Gud, der førte dig ud af Ægypten, af Trællehuset.
You will stone him to death with stones, because he has tried to draw you away from Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
11 Og det skal høres i hele Israel, saa de gribes af Frygt og ikke mere øver en saadan Udaad i din Midte!
All Israel will hear and fear, and will not continue to do this kind of wickedness among you.
12 Kommer det dig for Øre, at der i en af dine Byer, som HERREN din Gud giver dig at bo i,
If you hear anyone say about one of your cities, that Yahweh your God gives you to live in:
13 er optraadt Niddinger af din egen Midte, som har forført deres Bysbørn til at gaa hen og dyrke fremmede Guder, som I ikke før kendte til,
Some wicked fellows have gone out from among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city and said, 'Let us go and worship other gods that you have not known.'
14 saa skal du omhyggeligt undersøge, efterforske og udgranske Sagen, og hvis det viser sig, at det virkelig forholder sig saa, at der er øvet en saadan Vederstyggelighed i din Midte,
Then you will examine the evidence, make search, and investigate it thoroughly. When you discover that it is true and certain that such an abominable thing has been done among you, then you will take action.
15 da skal du hugge Indbyggerne i den By ned med Sværdet, idet du lægger Band paa den og alt, hvad der er deri; ogsaa Kvæget der skal du hugge ned med Sværdet.
You will surely attack the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, completely destroy it and all the people who are in it, along with its livestock, with the edge of the sword.
16 Og alt Byttet, der er taget der, skal du samle sammen midt paa Torvet, og saa skal du opbrænde Byen og Byttet, der er taget der, som et Heloffer til HERREN din Gud; derefter skal den for evigt ligge i Ruiner og aldrig mer bygges op.
You will gather all the spoil from it into the middle of its street and will burn the city, as well as all its spoil—for Yahweh your God. The city will be a heap of ruins forever; it must never be built again.
17 Og intet af det bandlyste maa blive hængende ved din Haand, for at HERREN maa standse sin flammende Vrede og vise dig Barmhjertighed og i sin Barmhjertighed gøre dig mangfoldig, som han tilsvor dine Fædre,
None of those things set apart for destruction must stick in your hand. This must be the case, so that Yahweh will turn from the fierceness of his anger, show you mercy, have compassion on you, and make you increase in numbers, as he has sworn to your fathers.
18 fordi du adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst, saa du vogter paa alle hans Bud, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig, og gør, hvad der er ret i HERREN din Guds Øjne!
He will do this because you are listening to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep all his commandments that I am commanding you today, to do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh your God.
