3 Mosebog 19
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 Tal til hele Israeliternes Menighed og sig til dem: I skal være hellige, thi jeg HERREN eders Gud er hellig!
Say to all the people of Israel, You are to be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.
3 I skal frygte hver sin Moder og sin Fader, og mine Sabbater skal I holde. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
Let every man give honour to his mother and to his father and keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.
4 Vend eder ikke til Afguderne og gør eder ikke støbte Gudebilleder! Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
Do not go after false gods, and do not make metal images of gods for yourselves: I am the Lord your God.
5 Naar I ofrer Takoffer til HERREN, skal I ofre det saaledes, at I kan vinde Guds Velbehag.
And when you give a peace offering to the Lord, do it in the way which is pleasing to the Lord.
6 Den Dag, I ofrer det, og Dagen efter maa det spises, men hvad der levnes til den tredje Dag, skal opbrændes;
Let it be used for food on the same day on which it is offered, or on the day after; and whatever is over on the third day is to be burned with fire.
7 spises det den tredje Dag, er det at regne for raaddent Kød og vinder ikke Guds Velbehag;
If any of it is used for food on the third day, it is a disgusting thing and will not be pleasing to the Lord.
8 den, der spiser deraf, skal undgælde for sin Brøde, thi han vanhelliger det, som var helliget HERREN, og det Menneske skal udryddes af sin Slægt.
And as for anyone who takes it for food, his sin will be on him, for he has put shame on the holy thing of the Lord: he will be cut off from his people.
9 Naar I høster eders Lands Høst, maa du ikke høste helt hen til Kanten af din Mark, ej heller maa du sanke Efterslætten efter din Høst.
And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain be cut from the edges of the field, or take up what has been dropped on the earth after the getting in of the grain.
10 Heller ikke maa du holde Efterhøst eller sanke de nedfaldne Bær i din Vingaard; til den fattige og den fremmede skal du lade det blive tilbage. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
And do not take all the grapes from your vine-garden, or the fruit dropped on the earth; let the poor man, and the man from another country, have these: I am the Lord your God.
11 I maa ikke stjæle, I maa ikke lyve, I maa ikke bedrage hverandre.
Do not take anyone's property or be false in act or word to another.
12 I maa ikke sværge falsk ved mit Navn, saa du vanhelliger din Guds Navn. Jeg er HERREN!
And do not take an oath in my name falsely, putting shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.
13 Du maa intet aftvinge din Næste, du maa intet røve; Daglejerens Løn maa ikke blive hos dig Natten over.
Do not be cruel to your neighbour or take what is his; do not keep back a servant's payment from him all night till the morning.
14 Du maa ikke forbande den døve eller lægge Stød for den blindes Fod, du skal frygte din Gud. Jeg er HERREN!
Do not put a curse on those who have no hearing, or put a cause of falling in the way of the blind, but keep the fear of your God before you: I am the Lord.
15 I maa ikke øve Uret, naar I holder Rettergang; du maa ikke begunstige den ringe, ej heller tage Parti for den store, men du skal dømme din Næste med Retfærdighed.
Do no wrong in your judging: do not give thought to the position of the poor, or honour to the position of the great; but be a judge to your neighbour in righteousness.
16 Du maa ikke gaa rundt og bagvaske din Landsmand eller staa din Næste efter Livet. Jeg er HERREN!
Do not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of your neighbour by false witness: I am the Lord.
17 Du maa ikke bære Nag til din Broder i dit Hjerte, men du skal tale din Næste til Rette, at du ikke skal paadrage dig Synd for hans Skyld.
Let there be no hate in your heart for your brother; but you may make a protest to your neighbour, so that he may be stopped from doing evil.
18 Du maa ikke hævne dig eller gemme paa Vrede mod dit Folks Børn, du skal elske din Næste som dig selv. Jeg er HERREN!
Do not make attempts to get equal with one who has done you wrong, or keep hard feelings against the children of your people, but have love for your neighbour as for yourself: I am the Lord.
19 Hold mine Anordninger! Du maa ikke lade to Slags Kvæg parre sig med hinanden; du maa ikke saa to Slags Sæd i din Mark; og du maa ikke bære Klæder, der er vævede af to Slags Garn.
Keep my laws. Do not let your cattle have offspring by those of a different sort; do not put mixed seed into your field; do not put on a robe made of two sorts of cloth.
20 Naar en Mand har Samleje med en Kvinde, og det er en Trælkvinde, en anden Mands Medhustru, som ikke er løskøbt eller frigivet, saa skal Afstraffelse finde Sted; dog skal de ikke lide Døden, thi hun var ikke frigivet.
If any man has sex relations with a servant-woman who has given her word to be married to a man, and has not been made free for a price or in any other way, the thing will be looked into; but they will not be put to death because she was not a free woman.
21 Og han skal bringe sit Skyldoffer for HERREN til Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang, en Skyldoffervæder,
Let him take his offering for wrongdoing to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting; let him give a male sheep as an offering for wrongdoing.
22 og Præsten skal med Skyldoffervæderen skaffe ham Soning for HERRENS Aasyn for den Synd, han har begaaet, saa han finder Tilgivelse for den Synd, han har begaaet.
And the priest will take away his sin before the Lord with the sheep which is offered for his wrongdoing, and he will have forgiveness for the sin which he has done.
23 Naar I kommer ind i Landet og planter alskens Frugttræer, skal I lade deres Forhud, den første Frugt, urørt; i tre Aar skal de være eder uomskaarne og maa ikke spises;
And when you have come into the land, and have put in all sorts of fruit-trees, their fruit will be as if they had not had circumcision, and for three years their fruit may not be used for food.
24 det fjerde Aar skal al deres Frugt under Høstjubel helliges HERREN;
And in the fourth year all the fruit will be holy as a praise-offering to the Lord.
25 først det femte Aar maa I spise deres Frugt, for at I kan faa saa meget større Udbytte deraf. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
But in the fifth year you may take the fruit and the increase of it for your food: I am the Lord your God.
26 I maa ikke spise noget med Blodet i. I maa ikke give eder af med at tage Varsler og øve Trolddom.
Nothing may be used for food with its blood in it; you may not make use of strange arts, or go in search of signs and wonders.
27 I maa ikke runde Haaret paa Tindingerne; og du maa ikke studse dit Skæg;
The ends of the hair round your face and on your chin may not be cut off.
28 I maa ikke gøre Indsnit i eders Legeme for de dødes Skyld eller indridse Tegn paa eder. Jeg er HERREN!
You may not make cuts in your flesh in respect for the dead, or have marks printed on your bodies: I am the Lord.
29 Du maa ikke vanhellige din Datter ved at lade hende bedrive Hor, for at ikke Landet skal forfalde til Horeri og fyldes med Utugt.
Do not make your daughter common by letting her become a loose woman, for fear that the land may become full of shame.
30 Mine Sabbater skal I holde, og min Helligdom skal I frygte. Jeg er HERREN!
Keep my Sabbaths and have respect for my holy place: I am the Lord.
31 Henvend eder ikke til Genfærd og Sandsigeraander; søg dem ikke, saa I gør eder urene ved dem. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
Do not go after those who make use of spirits, or wonder-workers; do not go in their ways or become unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.
32 Du skal rejse dig for de graa Haar og ære Oldingen, og du skal frygte din Gud. Jeg er HERREN!
Get up from your seats before the white-haired, and give honour to the old, and let the fear of your God be before you: I am the Lord.
33 Naar en fremmed bor hos dig i eders Land, maa I ikke lade ham lide Overlast;
And if a man from another country is living in your land with you, do not make life hard for him;
34 som en af eders egne skal I regne den fremmede, der bor hos eder, og du skal elske ham som dig selv, thi I var selv fremmede i Ægypten. Jeg et HERREN eders Guld!
Let him be to you as one of your countrymen and have love for him as for yourself; for you were living in a strange land, in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
35 Naar I holder Rettergang, maa I ikke øve Uret ved Længdemaal, Vægt eller Rummaal;
Do not make false decisions in questions of yard-sticks and weights and measures.
36 Vægtskaale, der vejer rigtigt, Lodder, der holder Vægt, Efa og Hin, der holder Maal, skal I have. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud, som førte eder ud af Ægypten!
Have true scales, true weights and measures for all things: I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt;
37 Hold alle mine Anordninger og Lovbud og gør efter dem. Jeg er HERREN!
You are to keep all my rules and my decisions and do them: I am the Lord.
