2 Mosebog 22
1 Naar en Mand stjæler en Okse eller et Faar og slagter eller sælger dem, skal han give fem Okser i Erstatning for Oksen og fire Faar for Faaret.
"If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it, or sells it; he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
2 (Hvis en Tyv gribes paa fersk Gerning ved et natligt Indbrud og bliver slaaet ihjel, da bliver der ikke Tale om Blodskyld;
If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.
3 men hvis Solen er staaet op, paadrager man sig Blodskyld). Erstatning skal han give, og ejer han intet, skal han sælges som Træl til Vederlag for det stjaalne;
If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt of bloodshed for him; he shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
4 hvis derimod det stjaalne findes levende i hans Besiddelse, da skal han give dobbelt Erstatning, hvad enten det er en Okse, et Æsel, eller et Faar.
If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.
5 Naar en Mand afsvider en Mark eller en Vingaard og lader Ilden brede sig, saa den antænder en andens Mark, da skal han give det bedste af sin Mark eller Vingaard i Erstatning;
"If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten, and lets his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field, he shall make restitution from his own field according to his produce; and if he shall have grazed over the whole field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.
6 men breder Ilden sig ved at tage fat i Tjørnekrat, og Kornneg eller Sæd brænder, eller en Mark svides af, saa skal den, der antændte Ilden, give simpel Erstatning.
"If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
7 Naar en Mand giver en anden Penge eller Sager i Varetægt, og de stjæles fra hans Hus, da skal Tyven, hvis han findes, give dobbelt Erstatning;
"If a man delivers to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he shall pay double.
8 men hvis Tyven ikke findes, skal Husets Ejer træde frem for Gud og sværge paa, at han ikke har forgrebet sig paa den andens Gods.
If the thief isn't found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, to find out if he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods.
9 I alle Tilfælde hvor det drejer sig om Uredelighed med en Okse, et Æsel, et Faar, en Klædning eller en hvilken som helst bortkommen Ting, hvorom der rejses Krav, skal de to Parters Sag bringes frem for Gud, og den, som Gud dømmer skyldig, skal give den anden dobbelt Erstatning.
For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, 'This is mine,' the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.
10 Naar en Mand giver en anden et Æsel, en Okse, et Faar eller et andet Stykke Kvæg i Varetægt, og Dyret dør, kommer til Skade eller røves, uden at nogen ser det,
"If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven away, no man seeing it;
11 da skal han sværge ved HERREN paa, at han ikke har forgrebet sig paa den andens Ejendom, og det skal være afgørende imellem dem; Dyrets Ejer skal tage Eden god, og den anden behøver ikke at give Erstatning.
the oath of God shall be between them both, whether he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
12 Stjæles det derimod fra ham, skal han give Ejeren Erstatning.
But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner.
13 Hvis det sønderrives, skal han bringe det sønderrevne Dyr med som Bevis; det sønderrevne skal han ikke erstatte.
If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.
14 Naar en laaner et Dyr af en anden, og det kommer til Skade eller dør, uden at Ejeren er til Stede, skal han give Erstatning;
"If a man borrows anything of his neighbor's, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.
15 er Ejeren derimod til Stede, skal han ikke give Erstatning; var det lejet, er Lejesummen Erstatning.
If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.
16 Naar en Mand forfører en Jomfru, der ikke er trolovet, og ligger hos hende, skal han udrede Brudekøbesummen for hende og tage hende til Hustru;
"If a man entices a virgin who isn't pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.
17 og hvis hendes Fader vægrer sig ved at give ham hende, skal han tilveje ham den sædvanlige Brudekøbesum for en Jomfru.
If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 En Troldkvinde maa du ikke lade leve.
"You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
19 Enhver, der har Omgang med Kvæg, skal lide Døden.
"Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.
20 Den, der ofrer til andre Guder end HERREN alene, skal der lægges Band paa.
"He who sacrifices to another god, except to Jehovah only, shall be utterly destroyed.
21 Den fremmede maa du ikke undertrykke eller forulempe, thi I var selv fremmede i Ægypten.
"You shall not wrong a foreigner, neither shall you oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
22 Enken eller den faderløse maa I aldrig mishandle;
"You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.
23 hvis I mishandler dem, og de raaber om Hjælp til mig, vil jeg visselig høre paa deres Klageraab,
If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
24 og da vil min Vrede blusse op, og jeg vil slaa eder ihjel med Sværdet, saa eders egne Hustruer bliver Enker og eders Børn faderløse.
and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25 Naar du laaner Penge til en fattig Mand af mit Folk i dit Nabolag, maa du ikke optræde som en Aagerkarl over for ham. I maa ikke tage Renter af ham.
"If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor; neither shall you charge him interest.
26 Hvis du tager din Næstes Kappe i Pant, skal du give ham den tilbage inden Solnedgang;
If you take your neighbor's garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,
27 thi den er det eneste, han har at dække sig med, det er den, han hyller sit Legeme i; hvad skulde han ellers ligge med? Og naar han raaber til mig, vil jeg høre ham, thi jeg er barmhjertig.
for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.
28 Gud maa du ikke spotte, og dit Folks Øvrighed maa du ikke forbande.
"You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
29 Din Lades Overflod og din Vinperses Saft maa du ikke holde tilbage. Den førstefødte af dine Sønner skal du give mig.
"You shall not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. "You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.
30 Ligesaa skal du gøre med dit Hornkvæg og dit Smaakvæg; i syv Dage skal det blive hos Moderen, men paa den ottende Dag skal I give mig det.
You shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. Seven days it shall be with its mother, then on the eighth day you shall give it to me.
31 I skal være mig hellige Mænd; Kød af sønderrevne Dyr maa I ikke spise, I skal kaste det for Hundene.
"You shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any flesh that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
