5 Mosebog 24
1 Naar en Mand tager en Kvinde til Ægte, og hun ikke vinder hans Yndest, fordi han finder noget ved hende, der vækker Ubehag hos ham, og han skriver hende et Skilsmissebrev og giver hende det i Hænde og sender hende ud af sit Hjem,
When a man takes a wife and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a certificate of divorce, put it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 saa maa hun efter at have forladt hans Hjem gaa hen og gifte sig med en anden Mand;
When she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.
3 faar denne anden Mand ogsaa Uvilje imod hende og skriver hende et Skilsmissebrev og giver hende det i Hænde og sender hende ud af sit Hjem, eller dør den anden Mand, der havde taget hende til Ægte,
If the latter husband hates her, and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband dies, who took her to be his wife;
4 saa har hendes første Mand, som havde sendt hende bort, ikke Ret til igen at tage hende til Hustru, efter at hun er blevet uren. Thi det er HERREN en Vederstyggelighed, og du maa ikke bringe Brøde over det Land, HERREN din Gud vil give dig i Eje.
her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife after she is defiled; for that would be an abomination to Yahweh. You shall not cause the land to sin, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.
5 Naar en Mand nylig har taget sig en Hustru, skal han ikke drage med i Krig, og der skal ikke paalægges ham nogen som helst Forpligtelse; han skal have Frihed til at blive hjemme et Aar og glæde sin Hustru, som han har ægtet.
When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out in the army, neither shall he be assigned any business. He shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.
6 Man maa ikke tage en Haandkværn i Pant, heller ikke den øverste Møllesten; thi det var at tage Livet selv i Pant.
No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone as a pledge, for he takes a life in pledge.
7 Naar nogen gribes i at stjæle en af sine Brødre blandt Israeliterne og gør ham Fortræd eller sælger ham, da skal en saadan Tyv lade sit Liv. Du skal udrydde det onde af din Midte.
If a man is found stealing any of his brothers of the children of Israel, and he deals with him as a slave, or sells him, then that thief shall die. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
8 Tag dig i Vare med Spedalskhed, saa du meget omhyggeligt handler efter alt, hvad Levitpræsterne lærer eder; som jeg har paabudt dem, skal I omhyggeligt handle.
Be careful in the plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently and do according to all that the Levitical priests teach you. As I commanded them, so you shall observe to do.
9 Kom i Hu, hvad HERREN din Gud gjorde ved Mirjam undervejs, da I drog bort fra Ægypten.
Remember what Yahweh your God did to Miriam, by the way as you came out of Egypt.
10 Naar du yder din Næste et Laan, maa du ikke gaa ind i hans Hus for at tage Pant af ham.
When you lend your neighbor any kind of loan, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge.
11 Du skal blive staaende udenfor, og den Mand, du yder Laanet, skal bringe Pantet ud til dig.
You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge outside to you.
12 Hvis han er en fattig Mand, maa du ikke lægge dig til Hvile med hans Pant;
If he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge.
13 ved Solnedgang skal du give ham Pantet tilbage, for at han kan lægge sig til Hvile i sin Kappe. Da velsigner han dig derfor, og du staar retfærdiggjort for HERREN din Guds Aasyn.
You shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment and bless you. It shall be righteousness to you before Yahweh your God.
14 Du maa ikke forurette en nødlidende, fattig Daglejer, hvad enten han hører til dine Brødre eller de fremmede inden dine Porte nogetsteds i dit Land.
You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the foreigners who are in your land within your gates.
15 Dag for Dag skal du give ham hans Løn, saa at Solen ikke gaar ned derover, thi han er nødlidende og venter med Længsel derpaa. Ellers raaber han til HERREN over dig, og du paadrager dig Skyld.
In his day you shall give him his wages, neither shall the sun go down on it, for he is poor and sets his heart on it, lest he cry against you to Yahweh, and it be sin to you.
16 Fædre skal ikke lide Døden for Børns Skyld, og Børn skal ikke lide Døden for Fædres Skyld. Enhver skal lide Døden for sin egen Synd.
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 Du maa ikke bøje Retten for den fremmede og den faderløse, og du maa ikke tage Enkens Klædning i Pant.
You shall not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice, nor take a widow’s clothing in pledge;
18 Men kom i Hu, at du var Træl i Ægypten, og at HERREN din Gud udløste dig derfra. Derfor byder jeg dig at handle saaledes.
but you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you there. Therefore I command you to do this thing.
19 Naar du bjærger din Høst paa din Mark og glemmer et Neg paa Marken, maa du ikke vende tilbage for at hente det; det skal tilfalde den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken, for at HERREN din Gud kan velsigne dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for.
When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to get it. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
20 Naar du slaar dine Oliven ned, maa du ikke bagefter gennemsøge Grenene; den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken skal det tilfalde.
When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs again. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
21 Naar du høster din Vin, maa du ikke holde Efterhøst; den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken skal det tilfalde.
When you harvest your vineyard, you shall not glean it after yourselves. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
22 Kom i Hu, at du selv var Træl i Ægypten; derfor byder jeg dig at handle saaledes.
You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt. Therefore I command you to do this thing.
