3 Mosebog 19
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Tal til hele Israeliternes Menighed og sig til dem: I skal være hellige, thi jeg HERREN eders Gud er hellig!
“Speak to all the people of Israel and tell them this: You must be holy, because I, Yahweh your God, am holy, [and I want you to be like me].
3 I skal frygte hver sin Moder og sin Fader, og mine Sabbater skal I holde. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
‘Each of you must respect your father and your mother. And you must (honor/treat respectfully) the Sabbath days. I am Yahweh, your God, [and that is what I am commanding you to do].
4 Vend eder ikke til Afguderne og gør eder ikke støbte Gudebilleder! Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
‘Do not worship idols or make metal statues of gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh, your God, [and I am the only one you must worship].
5 Naar I ofrer Takoffer til HERREN, skal I ofre det saaledes, at I kan vinde Guds Velbehag.
‘Then you bring an offering to maintain fellowship with me, offer it in a way that will cause me to accept it.
6 Den Dag, I ofrer det, og Dagen efter maa det spises, men hvad der levnes til den tredje Dag, skal opbrændes;
The meat should be eaten on the day that you sacrifice it, but you are permitted to eat some of it on the next day. Anything that remains until the third/next day must be completely burned.
7 spises det den tredje Dag, er det at regne for raaddent Kød og vinder ikke Guds Velbehag;
For any of it to be eaten on the third day is very displeasing to me, and I will not accept that offering.
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.
I will punish anyone who eats it [after the second day], because he will not have respected that what I say is holy. And that person must no longer be allowed to associate with my 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.
‘Then you harvest your grain, leave the grain at the very edge of the field, and do not pick up the grain that has fallen on the ground.
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 when you harvest your grapes, do not go back a second time to try to harvest some more, and do not pick up the grapes that have fallen on the ground. Leave those things for the poor people and for foreigners who are living among you. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding those things].
11 I maa ikke stjæle, I maa ikke lyve, I maa ikke bedrage hverandre.
‘Do not steal anything. ‘Do not tell lies. ‘Do not deceive each other.
12 I maa ikke sværge falsk ved mit Navn, saa du vanhelliger din Guds Navn. Jeg er HERREN!
‘Do not show that you do not respect me by using/saying my name to falsely promise that you will do something. [Do not forget that] I am Yahweh, your God.
13 Du maa intet aftvinge din Næste, du maa intet røve; Daglejerens Løn maa ikke blive hos dig Natten over.
‘Do not cheat anyone or steal from anyone. [‘If you have agreed to] pay your workers at the end of the day, [do what you have promised]; do not keep those wages until the next day.
14 Du maa ikke forbande den døve eller lægge Stød for den blindes Fod, du skal frygte din Gud. Jeg er HERREN!
‘Do not curse deaf people, and do not put things in the path of blind people to cause them to stumble.
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 not hate anyone. Instead, honestly rebuke those who ought to be rebuked, in order that you also will not be guilty.
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 try to get revenge against someone or be angry with someone for a long time. Instead, love other people like you love yourself. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding this].
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.
‘Obey my laws. ‘Do not allow two different kinds of animals to mate with each other. ‘Do not plant two different kinds of seed in the [same] field. ‘Do not wear clothing made from two different kinds of material.
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 a man has sex with a slave woman who has been promised to marry some other man, but she has not been bought by that man and is still a slave, the man who had sex with her must be punished. But because she is still a slave, she and the man who had sex with her must not be killed.
21 Og han skal bringe sit Skyldoffer for HERREN til Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang, en Skyldoffervæder,
However, that man must bring a ram to [be slaughtered at] the entrance of the Sacred Tent area, to be an offering in order that he no longer be guilty for his sin.
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.
The priest will offer that ram to me in order that the man will be forgiven for the sin that he committed, and I will forgive him.

‘When you enter the land [that I have promised to give to you], and when you plant various kinds of fruit trees, you must not eat any of their fruit for three years [DOU].
24 det fjerde Aar skal al deres Frugt under Høstjubel helliges HERREN;
In the fourth year all of their fruit must be set aside to belong to me; it must be brought to me to be an offering to praise me.
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/next year, you will be permitted to eat their fruit. If you do that, your trees will produce much fruit. I, Yahweh your God, [am promising that].

‘When foreigners live among you [in your land], do not mistreat them.
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!

35 Naar I holder Rettergang, maa I ikke øve Uret ved Længdemaal, Vægt eller Rummaal;
‘When you are measuring things, to see how long they are or how much they weigh or how many there are,
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!
