5 Mosebog 14
1 HERREN eders Guds Børn er I, derfor maa I ikke indridse Mærker paa eder eller afrage Haaret over Panden for de dødes Skyld.
You are the children of the Lord your God: you are not to make cuts on your bodies or take off the hair on your brows in honour of the dead;
2 Thi du er et Folk, der er helliget HERREN din Gud, og dig har HERREN udvalgt til at være hans Ejendomsfolk blandt alle Folk paa Jorden.
For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has taken you to be his special people out of all the nations on the face of the earth.
3 Du maa ikke spise noget, som er en Vederstyggelighed.
No disgusting thing may be your food.
4 De Dyr, I maa spise, er følgende: Okser, Faar og Geder,
These are the beasts which you may have for food: the ox, the sheep, and the goat;
5 Hjorte, Gazeller, Antiloper, Stenbukke, Disjonantiloper, Oryksantiloper og Vildgeder.
The hart, the gazelle, and the roe, the mountain goat and the pygarg and the antelope and the mountain sheep.
6 Og alt det Kvæg, som har spaltede Klove, begge Klove helt spaltede, og tygger Drøv, det Kvæg maa I spise.
Any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again, may be used for food.
7 Men følgende maa I ikke spise af dem, der tygger Drøv, og af dem, der har Klovene helt spaltede: Kamelen, Haren og Klippegrævlingen, thi de tygger vel Drøv, men har ikke Klove; de skal være eder urene;
But even among these, there are some which may not be used for food: such as the camel, the hare, and the coney, which are unclean to you, because, though their food comes back, the horn of their feet is not parted in two.
8 ej heller Svinet, thi det har vel Klove, men tygger ikke Drøv; det skal være eder urent. Deres Kød maa I ikke spise, og ved deres Aadsler maa I ikke røre.
And the pig is unclean to you, because though it has a division in the horn of its foot, its food does not come back; their flesh may not be used for food or their dead bodies touched by you.
9 Af alt, hvad der lever i Vandet, maa I spise følgende: Alt, hvad der har Finner og Skæl, maa I spise.
And of the things living in the waters, you may take all those who have wings for swimming with and skins formed of thin plates.
10 Men intet, der ikke har Finner og Skæl, maa I spise; det skal være eder urent.
But any which have no skin-plates or wings for swimming, you may not take; they are unclean for you.
11 Alle rene Fugle maa I spise.
All clean birds may be used for food.
12 Men følgende Fugle maa I ikke spise: Ørnen, Lammegribben, Havørnen,
But these birds you may not take: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray;
13 Glenten, de forskellige Arter af Falke,
The falcon and the kite, and birds of that sort;
14 alle de forskellige Arter af Ravne,
Every raven, and all birds of that sort;
15 Strudsen, Takmasfuglen, Maagen, de forskellige Arter af Høge,
And the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-hawk and birds of that sort;
16 Uglen, Hornuglen, Tinsjemetfuglen,
The little owl and the great owl and the water-hen;
17 Pelikanen, Aadselgribben, Fiskepelikanen,
And the pelican and the vulture and the cormorant;
18 Storken, de forskellige Arter af Hejrer, Hærfuglen og Flagermusen.
The stork and the heron and birds of that sort, and the hoopoe and the bat.
19 Alt vinget Kryb skal være eder urent og maa ikke spises.
Every winged thing which goes flat on the earth is unclean to you and may not be used as food.
20 Men alle rene Fugle maa I spise.
But all clean birds you may take.
21 I maa ikke spise noget selvdødt Dyr. Du kan give det til den fremmede inden dine Porte, at han kan spise det, eller du kan sælge det til en Udlænding. Thi du er et Folk, der er helliget HERREN din Gud. Du maa ikke koge et Kid i dets Moders Mælk.
You may not have as food anything which has come to a natural death; the man from another country who is living with you may take it for food, or you may get a price for it from one of another nation; for you are a holy people to the Lord your God. The young goat is not to be cooked in its mother's milk.
22 Du skal give Tiende af al din Afgrøde, der vokser paa Marken, Aar for Aar;
Put on one side a tenth of all the increase of your seed, produced year by year.
23 og for HERREN din Guds Aasyn, paa det Sted, han udvælger til Bolig for sit Navn, skal du nyde Tienden af dit Korn, din Most og din Olie og de førstefødte af dit Hornkvæg og Smaakvæg, for at du kan lære at frygte HERREN din Gud alle Dage.
And make a feast before the Lord your God, in the place which is to be marked out, where his name will be for ever, of the tenth part of your grain and your wine and your oil, and the first births of your herds and your flocks; so that you may have the fear of the Lord your God in your hearts at all times.
24 Men naar Vejen er dig for lang, saa du ikke kan bringe det derhen, eftersom det Sted, HERREN din Gud udvælger for der at stedfæste sit Navn, ligger for langt borte fra dig, fordi HERREN din Gud velsigner dig,
And if the way is so long that you are not able to take these things to the place marked out by the Lord your God for his name, when he has given you his blessing, because it is far away from you;
25 saa skal du gøre det i Penge og pakke Pengene ind og tage dem med og drage til det Sted, HERREN din Gud udvælger,
Then let these things be exchanged for money, and, taking the money in your hand, go to the place marked out by the Lord your God for himself;
26 og du skal for Pengene købe alt, hvad dit Hjerte begærer, Hornkvæg og Smaakvæg, Vin og stærk Drik og alt, hvad du har Lyst til, og nyde det der for HERREN din Guds Aasyn og være glad sammen med din Husstand.
And with the money get whatever you have a desire for, oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your soul's desire may be: and make a feast there before the Lord your God, and be glad, you and all your house;
27 Og Leviten inden dine Porte maa du ikke glemme; thi han har ikke Arvelod og Del som du.
And give a thought to the Levite who is living among you, for he has no part or heritage in the land.
28 Men hver Gang der er gaaet tre Aar, skal du tage al Tienden af din Afgrøde i det Aar og samle den inden dine Porte,
At the end of every three years take a tenth part of all your increase for that year, and put it in store inside your walls:
29 saa at Leviten, der jo ikke har Arvelod og Del som du, og den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken inden dine Porte kan komme og spise sig mæt deraf; det skal du gøre, for at HERREN din Gud maa velsigne dig i al den Gerning, du tager dig for.
And the Levite, because he has no part or heritage in the land, and the man from a strange country, and the child who has no father, and the widow, who are living among you, will come and take food and have enough; and so the blessing of the Lord your God will be on you in everything you do.
