5 Mosebog 22
1 Naar du ser din Broders Okse eller Faar løbe løse om, maa du ikke undlade at tage dig af dem, men du skal bringe dem tilbage til din Broder.
If you see your brother's ox or his sheep wandering, do not go by without helping, but take them back to your brother.
2 Og hvis din Broder ikke bor i Nærheden af dig, eller du ikke ved, hvis Dyret er, skal du tage det ind i dit Hus, og det skal være hos dig, indtil din Broder spørger efter det; saa skal du give ham det tilbage.
If their owner is not near, or if you are not certain who he is, then take the beast to your house and keep it till its owner comes in search of it, and then you are to give it back to him.
3 Paa samme Maade skal du forholde dig med hans Æsel, med hans Klæder og med alt, hvad der bliver borte for din Broder, naar du finder det. Du maa ikke undlade at tage dig af det.
Do the same with his ass or his robe or anything which has gone from your brother's keeping and which you have come across: do not keep it to yourself.
4 Naar du ser din Broders Okse eller Æsel styrte paa Vejen, maa du ikke undlade at tage dig af dem, men du skal hjælpe ham med at faa dem op.
If you see your brother's ox or his ass falling down on the road, do not go by without giving him help in lifting it up again.
5 En Kvinde maa ikke bære Mandsdragt, og en Mand maa ikke iføre sig Kvindeklæder; thi enhver, der gør det, er HERREN din Gud en Vederstyggelighed.
It is not right for a woman to be dressed in man's clothing, or for a man to put on a woman's robe: whoever does such things is disgusting to the Lord your God.
6 Naar du paa din Vej træffer paa en Fuglerede i et Træ eller paa Jorden med Unger eller Æg, og Moderen ligger paa Ungerne eller Æggene, maa du ikke tage Moderen sammen med Ungerne;
If by chance you see a place which a bird has made for itself in a tree or on the earth, with young ones or eggs, and the mother bird seated on the young ones or on the eggs, do not take the mother bird with the young:
7 Ungerne kan du tage, men Moderen skal du lade flyve, for at det maa gaa dig vel og du maa faa et langt Liv.
See that you let the mother bird go, but the young ones you may take; so it will be well for you and your life will be long.
8 Naar du bygger et nyt Hus, skal du sætte Rækværk om Taget, for at du ikke skal bringe Blodskyld over dit Hus, hvis nogen falder ned derfra.
If you are building a house, make a railing for the roof, so that the blood of any man falling from it will not come on your house.
9 Du maa ikke saa to Slags Sæd i din Vingaard, ellers hjemfalder det hele til Helligdommen, baade Sæden, du saaede, og Udbyttet af Vingaarden.
Do not have your vine-garden planted with two sorts of seed: or all of it may become a loss, the seed you have put in as well as the increase.
10 Du maa ikke pløje med en Okse og et Æsel sammen.
Do not do your ploughing with an ox and an ass yoked together.
11 Du maa ikke bære Tøj, som er vævet baade af Uld og Hør.
Do not have clothing made of two sorts of thread, wool and linen together.
12 Du skal sætte Kvaster i de fire Hjørner af din Kappe, som du hyller dig i.
On the four edges of your robe, with which your body is covered, put ornaments of twisted threads.
13 Naar en Mand efter at have ægtet en Kvinde og søgt Samkvem med hende faar Uvilje imod hende
If any man takes a wife, and having had connection with her, has no delight in her,
14 og siger hende skammelige Ting paa og udspreder ondt Rygte om hende, idet han siger: »Jeg tog denne Kvinde til Ægte, men da jeg havde Samkvem med hende, fandt jeg ikke hos hende Tegnet paa, at hun var Jomfru!«
And says evil things about her and gives her a bad name, saying, I took this woman, and when I had connection with her it was clear to me that she was not a virgin:
15 saa skal den unge Kvindes Forældre bringe Jomfrutegnet hen til Byens Ældste i Byporten;
Then let the girl's father and mother put before the responsible men of the town, in the public place, signs that the girl was a virgin:
16 og Pigens Fader skal sige til de Ældste: »Jeg gav denne Mand min Datter til Hustru, men han har faaet Uvilje imod hende,
And let the girl's father say to the responsible men, I gave my daughter to this man for his wife, but he has no love for her;
17 og nu siger han hende skammelige Ting paa og siger: Jeg har ikke hos din Datter fundet Tegnet paa, at hun var Jomfru! Men her er Jomfrutegnet!« Og dermed skal de brede Klædet ud for Byens Ældste.
And now he has put shame on her, saying that she is not a virgin; but here is the sign that she is a virgin. Then they are to put her clothing before the responsible men of the town.
18 Da skal Byens Ældste tage Manden og revse ham;
Then the responsible men of the town are to give the man his punishment;
19 og de skal paalægge ham en Bøde paa hundrede Sekel Sølv og give den unge Kvindes Fader dem, fordi han udspredte ondt Rygte om en Jomfru i Israel. Og han skal beholde hende som Hustru og har ikke Lov til at skille sig fra hende, saa længe han lever.
They will take from him a hundred shekels of silver, which are to be given to the father of the girl, because he has given an evil name to a virgin of Israel: she will go on being his wife, he may never put her away all his life.
20 Men hvis Beskyldningen er sand, hvis den unge Kvindes Jomfrutegn ikke findes,
But if what he has said is true, and she is seen to be not a virgin,
21 skal man føre hende hen foran hendes Faders Husdør, og Mændene i hendes By skal stene hende til Døde, fordi hun har begaaet en Udaad i Israel ved at bedrive Hor i sin Faders Hus. Saaledes skal du udrydde det onde af din Midte.
Then they are to make the girl come to the door of her father's house and she will be stoned to death by the men of the town, because she has done evil and put shame on Israel, by acting as a loose woman in her father's house: so you are to put away evil from among you.
22 Naar en Mand gribes i Samleje med en gift Kvinde, skal de begge dø, baade Manden, der laa hos Kvinden, og Kvinden selv. Saaledes skal du udrydde det onde af Israel.
If a man is taken in the act of going in to a married woman, the two of them, the man as well as the woman, are to be put to death: so you are to put away the evil from Israel.
23 Naar en Mand inde i Byen træffer en Jomfru, der er trolovet med en anden, og har Samleje med hende,
If a young virgin has given her word to be married to a man, and another man meeting her in the town, has connection with her;
24 skal I føre dem begge ud til Byens Port og stene dem til Døde, Pigen fordi hun ikke skreg om Hjælp i Byen, og Manden, fordi han krænkede sin Næstes Brud. Saaledes skal du udrydde det onde af din Midte.
Then you are to take the two of them to the doorway of the town, and have them stoned to death; the young virgin, because she gave no cry for help, though it was in the town, and the man, because he has put shame on his neighbour's wife: so you are to put away evil from among you.
25 Men hvis Manden træffer den trolovede Pige ude i det fri og tiltvinger sig Samleje med hende, skal kun Manden, der havde Samleje med hende, dø.
But if the man, meeting such a virgin in the open country, takes her by force, then only the man is to be put to death;
26 Pigen derimod skal du ikke gøre noget; hun har ikke begaaet nogen Synd, som fortjener Døden; thi dermed er det, som naar en overfalder sin Næste og slaar ham ihjel;
Nothing is to be done to the virgin, because there is no cause of death in her: it is the same as if a man made an attack on his neighbour and put him to death:
27 han traf hende jo ude i det fri, og den trolovede Pige skreg, men ingen kom hende til Hjælp.
For he came across her in the open country, and there was no one to come to the help of the virgin in answer to her cry.
28 Naar en Mand træffer en Jomfru, der ikke er trolovet, og tiltvinger sig Samleje med hende, og de gribes paa fersk Gerning,
If a man sees a young virgin, who has not given her word to be married to anyone, and he takes her by force and has connection with her, and discovery is made of it;
29 skal den Mand, der havde Samleje med hende, give Pigens Fader halvtredsindstyve Sekel Sølv og tage hende til Ægte, fordi han krænkede hende; og han har ikke Ret til at skille sig fra hende, saa længe han lever.
Then the man will have to give the virgin's father fifty shekels of silver and make her his wife, because he has put shame on her; he may never put her away all his life.
30 Ingen maa ægte sin Faders Hustru eller løfte sin Faders Tæppe.
A man may not take his father's wife or have sex relations with a woman who is his father's.
