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 someone's cow or sheep wandering around, don't just ignore it. Make sure you take it back to its owner.
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 its owner doesn't live near you, or if you don't know who it is, take the animal home with you and keep it until the owner comes looking, then you can return it.
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 for whatever else you find that someone has lost—a donkey, a cloak, anything. Don't just ignore it.
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 someone's donkey or cow that has fallen down on the road, don't just ignore it. Help lift it up.
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.
A woman must not wear men's clothing, and a man must not wear women's clothing. Anyone who does this offends 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 you happen to find a bird's nest with chicks or eggs, whether it's in a tree or on the ground beside the road, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or eggs, don't take the mother 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.
You may take the young, but make sure you let the mother go, so that you will do well and have a good long life.
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.
When you build a new house, be sure to install a railing around your roof, so that you won't be held guilty if someone dies falling from it.
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.
Don't plant your vineyard with another kind of crop. Otherwise everything you produce—the crop you planted and the fruit of your vineyard—must be dedicated to the Lord.
10 Du maa ikke pløje med en Okse og et Æsel sammen.
Don't harness an ox and a donkey together when you plow.
11 Du maa ikke bære Tøj, som er vævet baade af Uld og Hør.
Don't wear clothes made of wool and linen woven together.
12 Du skal sætte Kvaster i de fire Hjørner af din Kappe, som du hyller dig i.
Put tassels on the hem of the cloak you use to cover yourself.
13 Naar en Mand efter at have ægtet en Kvinde og søgt Samkvem med hende faar Uvilje imod hende
If a man marries a woman and sleeps with her, but ends up hating 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 accuses her of being immoral, giving her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman and slept with her, but I found out she wasn't a virgin.”
15 saa skal den unge Kvindes Forældre bringe Jomfrutegnet hen til Byens Ældste i Byporten;
The woman's parents are to bring the proof of her virginity to the elders at the town gate,
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 the father will explain to them, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he has ended up hating 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.
Now he has accused her of being immoral, saying, ‘I found out that your daughter wasn't a virgin.’ But here's the proof of her virginity.” The parents shall spread out the sheet in front of the town elders.
18 Da skal Byens Ældste tage Manden og revse ham;
Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.
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 shall also fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give the money to the young woman's father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She is to remain his wife; he is not allowed to divorce her as long as he lives.
20 Men hvis Beskyldningen er sand, hvis den unge Kvindes Jomfrutegn ikke findes,
But if the accusation is true, and there's no proof of the woman's virginity,
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.
she is to be taken to the door of her father's house, and there the men of her town are to stone her to death. She has done something disgraceful in Israel by acting immorally in her father's house. You must eliminate the 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 found sleeping with someone else's wife, both the man and the woman must die. You must eliminate 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 man meets a girl, a virgin engaged to another man, and sleeps with her there in the town,
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 must take both of them to the town gate and stone them to death. The young woman is guilty because she did not cry out for help in the town, and the man is guilty because he has brought shame on someone else's fiancée. You must eliminate the 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.
However, if the man happens to meet a woman who is engaged out in the countryside, and he attacks her and rapes her, only the man has to die.
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;
Don't do anything to the woman, because she has not committed a sin punishable by death. (This is the same kind of situation as when a man attacks someone else and murders them.)
27 han traf hende jo ude i det fri, og den trolovede Pige skreg, men ingen kom hende til Hjælp.
When the man raped the woman who was engaged out in the countryside, she shouted out, but there wasn't anyone there to rescue her.
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 happens to meet a virgin who is not engaged, and he grabs her and rapes her, and someone sees them,
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.
the man must pay the woman's father fifty shekels of silver, and he must marry her because he has brought shame on her. He is not allowed to divorce her as long as he lives.
30 Ingen maa ægte sin Faders Hustru eller løfte sin Faders Tæppe.
A man must not marry his father's wife, so that he won't bring shame on his father.
