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.
You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep go astray and hide yourself from them. You shall surely bring them again 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 your brother isn’t near to you, or if you don’t know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall be with you until your brother comes looking for it, and you shall restore it 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.
So you shall do with his donkey. So you shall do with his garment. So you shall do with every lost thing of your brother’s, which he has lost and you have found. You may not hide 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.
You shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them. You shall surely help him to lift them 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.
A woman shall not wear men’s clothing, neither shall a man put on women’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination 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 you come across a bird’s nest on the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the hen sitting on the young, or on the eggs, you shall not take the hen 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 shall surely let the hen go, but the young you may take for yourself, that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.
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, then you shall make a railing around your roof, so that you don’t bring blood on your house if anyone falls from there.
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.
You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest all the fruit be defiled, the seed which you have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.
10 Du maa ikke pløje med en Okse og et Æsel sammen.
You shall not plough with an ox and a donkey together.
11 Du maa ikke bære Tøj, som er vævet baade af Uld og Hør.
You shall not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
12 Du skal sætte Kvaster i de fire Hjørner af din Kappe, som du hyller dig i.
You shall make yourselves fringes on the four corners of your cloak with which you cover yourself.
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 goes in to her, hates 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!«
accuses her of shameful things, gives her a bad name, and says, “I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I didn’t find in her the tokens of virginity;”
15 saa skal den unge Kvindes Forældre bringe Jomfrutegnet hen til Byens Ældste i Byporten;
then the young lady’s father and mother shall take and bring the tokens of the young lady’s virginity to the elders of the city in the 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,
The young lady’s father shall tell the elders, “I gave my daughter to this man as his wife, and he hates 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.
Behold, he has accused her of shameful things, saying, ‘I didn’t find in your daughter the tokens of virginity;’ and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity.” They shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18 Da skal Byens Ældste tage Manden og revse ham;
The elders of that city shall take the man and chastise 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 fine him one hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the young lady, because he has given a bad name to a virgin of Israel. She shall be his wife. He may not put her away all his days.
20 Men hvis Beskyldningen er sand, hvis den unge Kvindes Jomfrutegn ikke findes,
But if this thing is true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young lady,
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 shall bring out the young lady to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done folly in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father’s house. So you shall remove the evil from amongst 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 lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both die, the man who lay with the woman and the woman. So you shall remove 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 there is a young lady who is a virgin pledged to be married to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies 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 shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the lady, because she didn’t cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbour’s wife. So you shall remove the evil from amongst 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 finds the lady who is pledged to be married in the field, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall 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;
but to the lady you shall do nothing. There is in the lady no sin worthy of death; for as when a man rises against his neighbour and kills him, even so is this matter;
27 han traf hende jo ude i det fri, og den trolovede Pige skreg, men ingen kom hende til Hjælp.
for he found her in the field, the pledged to be married lady cried, and there was no one to save 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 finds a lady who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, grabs her and lies with her, and they are found,
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 who lay with her shall give to the lady’s father fifty shekels of silver. She shall be his wife, because he has humbled her. He may not put her away all his days.
30 Ingen maa ægte sin Faders Hustru eller løfte sin Faders Tæppe.
A man shall not take his father’s wife, and shall not uncover his father’s skirt.
