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.
All of you are the children of the LORD your God: all of you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for 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 an holy people unto the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be an exclusive people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
3 Du maa ikke spise noget, som er en Vederstyggelighed.
You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4 De Dyr, I maa spise, er følgende: Okser, Faar og Geder,
These are the beasts which all of you shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 Hjorte, Gazeller, Antiloper, Stenbukke, Disjonantiloper, Oryksantiloper og Vildgeder.
The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
6 Og alt det Kvæg, som har spaltede Klove, begge Klove helt spaltede, og tygger Drøv, det Kvæg maa I spise.
And every beast that parts the hoof, and cleaves the cleft into two claws, and chews the cud among the beasts, that all of you shall eat.
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;
Nevertheless these all of you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.
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 swine, because it divides the hoof, yet chews not the cud, it is unclean unto you: all of you shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.
9 Af alt, hvad der lever i Vandet, maa I spise følgende: Alt, hvad der har Finner og Skæl, maa I spise.
These all of you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall all of you eat:
10 Men intet, der ikke har Finner og Skæl, maa I spise; det skal være eder urent.
And whatsoever has not fins and scales all of you may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
11 Alle rene Fugle maa I spise.
Of all clean birds all of you shall eat.
12 Men følgende Fugle maa I ikke spise: Ørnen, Lammegribben, Havørnen,
But these are they of which all of you shall not eat: the eagle, and the vulture, and the buzzard,
13 Glenten, de forskellige Arter af Falke,
And the vulture, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
14 alle de forskellige Arter af Ravne,
And every raven after his kind,
15 Strudsen, Takmasfuglen, Maagen, de forskellige Arter af Høge,
And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind,
16 Uglen, Hornuglen, Tinsjemetfuglen,
The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
17 Pelikanen, Aadselgribben, Fiskepelikanen,
And the pelican, and the carrion vulture, and the cormorant,
18 Storken, de forskellige Arter af Hejrer, Hærfuglen og Flagermusen.
And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
19 Alt vinget Kryb skal være eder urent og maa ikke spises.
And every creeping thing that flies is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
20 Men alle rene Fugle maa I spise.
But of all clean fowls all of you may eat.
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.
All of you shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: you shall give it unto the stranger that is in your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it unto an foreigner: for you are an holy people unto the LORD your God. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
22 Du skal give Tiende af al din Afgrøde, der vokser paa Marken, Aar for Aar;
You shall truly tithe all the increase of your seed, that the field brings forth 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 you shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of your corn, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks; that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
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 be too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from you, which the LORD your God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD your God has blessed 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 shall you turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose:
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 you shall bestow that money for whatsoever your soul lusts after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever your soul desires: and you shall eat there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you, and your household,
27 Og Leviten inden dine Porte maa du ikke glemme; thi han har ikke Arvelod og Del som du.
And the Levite that is within your gates; you shall not forsake him; for he has no part nor inheritance with you.
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 three years you shall bring forth all the tithe of your increase the same year, and shall lay it up within your gates:
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 nor inheritance with you, ) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within your gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
