3 Mosebog 20

1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

2 Sig til Israeliterne: Om nogen af Israeliterne eller de fremmede, der bor hos Israel, giver sit Afkom hen til Molok, da skal han lide Døden; Landets Indbyggere skal stene ham,

Unto the sons of Israel, therefore shalt thou say, What man soever, there may be of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners that sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto Molech, he shall, surely be put to death, —the people of the land shall stone him with stones;

3 og jeg vender selv mit Aasyn imod den Mand og udrydder ham af hans Folk, fordi han gav sit Afkom hen til Molok for at gøre min Helligdom uren og vanhellige mit hellige Navn;

I, also, will set my face against that man, and will cut him off out of the midst of his people, —because of his seed, hath he given unto Molech, seeing that he hath made unclean my sanctuary, even to the extent of profaning my holy name.

4 og ser end Landets Indbyggere igennem Fingre med den Mand, naar han giver sit Afkom hen til Molok, og undlader at dræbe ham,

But, if the people of the land, do even hide, their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, —so as not to put him to death,

5 saa vender jeg dog selv mit Aasyn imod den Mand og hans Slægt og udrydder ham og alle dem, der følger i hans Spor og boler med Molok, af deres Folk.

then will I myself, set my face against that man, and against his family, —and will cut him off, and all that follow unchastely after him—in going unchastely after Molech—out of the midst of their people.

6 Det Menneske, som henvender sig til Genfærd eller Sandsigeraander og boler med dem, mod det Menneske vil jeg vende mit Aasyn og udrydde ham af hans Folk.

The person also that turneth unto mediums and unto oracles, in going unchastely after them, then will I set my face against that person, and will cut him off out of the midst of his people.

7 Helliger eder og vær hellige; thi jeg er HERREN eders Gud!

Therefore shall ye hallow yourselves and be holy, —Because I—Yahweh, am your God.

8 Hold mine Anordninger og gør efter dem. Jeg er HERREN, som helliger eder!

Therefore shall ye observe my statutes, and do them, —I—Yahweh, am he that is hallowing you.

9 Thi enhver, som forbander sin Fader og sin Moder, skal lide Døden; han har forbandet sin Fader og sin Moder, derfor hviler der Blodskyld paa ham.

When, any man whatsoever, curseth his father or his mother, he shall surely be put to death, —his father or his mother, hath he cursed, his blood, shall be upon himself.

10 Om nogen bedriver Hor med en anden Mands Hustru, om nogen bedriver Hor med sin Næstes Hustru, da skal de lide Døden, Horkarlen saavel som Horkvinden.

And, any man, who committeth adultery with the wife of any other man, he that committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour shall surely be put to death—the adulterer, and the adulteress.

11 Om nogen har Samleje med sin Faders Hustru, har han blottet sin Faders Blusel; de skal begge lide Døden, der hviler Blodskyld paa dem.

And any man who lieth with his father’s wife, the shame of his father, hath uncovered, —they both shall, surely be put to death—their blood shall be upon themselves.

12 Om nogen har Samleje med sin Sønnekone, skal de begge lide Døden; de har øvet Skændselsdaad, der hviler Blodskyld paa dem.

And any man who lieth with his daughter-in-law, they both shall, surely be put to death, confusion, have they wrought—their blood shall be upon themselves.

13 Om nogen ligger hos en Mand, paa samme Maade som man ligger hos en Kvinde, da har de begge øvet en Vederstyggelighed; de skal lide Døden, der hviler Blodskyld paa dem.

And any man who lieth with mankind as with womankind, an abomination, have both of them wrought, —they shall, surely be put to death, —their blood, shall be upon themselves.

14 Om nogen ægter en Kvinde og hendes Moder, er det grov Utugt: man skal brænde baade ham og begge Kvinderne; der maa ikke findes grov Utugt iblandt eder.

And, any man, who taketh a woman and her mother, wickedness, it is, —in fire, shall both he and they be consumed, that wickedness be not in your midst.

15 Om nogen har Omgang med et Dyr, skal han lide Døden, og Dyret skal I slaa ihjel.

And, any man, who hath carnal knowledge of a beast, shall, surely be put to death, —and, the beast, shall ye slay.

16 Om en Kvinde kommer noget Dyr nær for at have kønslig Omgang med det, da skal du ihjelslaa baade Kvinden og Dyret; de skal lide Døden, der hviler Blodskyld paa dem.

And, a woman, who approacheth unto any beast, to couch down thereto, then shalt thou slay the woman and the beast, —they shall surely be put to death, —their blood, shall be upon themselves.

17 Om en Mand tager sin Søster, sin Faders eller sin Moders Datter, til Ægte, saa han ser hendes Blusel, og hun hans, da er det en skammelig Gerning; de skal udryddes i deres Landsmænds Paasyn; han har blottet sin Søsters Blusel, han skal undgælde for sin Brøde.

And, any man, who taketh his sister—his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and vieweth her shame, and, she, vieweth his shame, a disgrace, it is, —they shall therefore be cut off in the sight of the sons of their people, —the shame of his sister, hath he uncovered—his iniquity, shall he bear.

18 Om en Mand har Samleje med en Kvinde under hendes maanedlige Svaghed og blotter hendes Blusel, idet han afdækker hendes Kilde, og hun afdækker sit Blods Kilde, da skal de begge udryddes af deres Folk.

And, any man, who lieth with a woman having her sickness, and uncovereth her shame, her fountain, hath he exposed, she, also hath uncovered her fountain of blood, —they shall therefore both be cut off out of the midst of their people.

19 Du maa ikke blotte din Mosters og din Fasters Blusel, thi den, der gør det, afdækker sin kødelige Slægtnings Blusel; de skal undgælde for deres Brøde.

And the shame of thy mother’s sister, or of thy father’s sister, shalt thou not uncover, —for his near of kin, hath he exposed—their iniquity, shall they bear.

20 Om nogen har Samleje med sin Farbroders Hustru, da har han blottet sin Farbroders Blusel, de skal undgælde for deres Synd og dø barnløse.

And, any man, who lieth with his uncle’s wife, the shame of his uncle, hath he uncovered, —their sin, shall they bear—childless, shall they die.

21 Om nogen tager sin Broders Hustru til Ægte, da er det en uren Gerning; han har blottet sin Broders Blusel; de skal blive barnløse.

And, any man, who taketh his brother’s wife, impurity, it is, —the shame of his brother, hath he uncovered—childless, shall they remain.

22 Hold alle mine Anordninger og Lovbud og gør efter dem, at ikke Landet, jeg føler eder ind at bo i, skal udspy eder.

Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes and all my regulations, and do them, —So shall the land whereinto I am bringing you to dwell therein, not vomit you forth;

23 Følg ikke det Folks Skikke, som jeg driver bort foran eder, thi de har øvet alt dette; derfor væmmedes jeg ved dem

So shall ye not walk in the—statutes of the nations, which I am casting out from before you, —For all these things, had they done, Therefore I abhorred them;

24 og sagde til eder: I skal faa deres Land i Eje; jeg giver eder det i Eje, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud, som har udskilt eder fra alle andre Folkeslag.

And said unto you—Ye, shall possess their soil, Yea, I myself, will give it you to possess it, A land flowing with milk and honey, —I—Yahweh, am your God, who have distinguished you from the peoples;

25 I skal skelne mellem rene og urene Dyr og mellem urene og rene Fugle for ikke at gøre eder selv til en Vederstyggelighed ved de Dyr og de Fugle og alt, hvad der rører sig paa Jorden, alt, hvad jeg har udskilt for eder og erklæret for urent.

Therefore shall ye make a distinction—Between the clean beasts, and the unclean, —And between the unclean birds and the clean, —So shall ye not make your persons abominable with beast, or with bird or with anything which creepeth upon the ground, which I have distinguished for you, as unclean.

26 Og I skal være mig hellige, thi jeg HERREN er hellig, og jeg har udskilt eder fra alle andre Folkeslag til at høre mig til.

Therefore shall ye be unto me, holy persons, for, holy, am, I—Yahweh, —Therefore have I distinguished you from the peoples, that ye may be mine.

27 Naar der i en Mand eller Kvinde er en Genfærdsaand eller en Sandsigeraand, skal de lide Døden; de skal stenes, der hviler Blodskyld paa dem.

And as touching man or woman, when there shall be in them a familiar spirit, or the spirit of an oracle, they shall, surely be put to death, —with stones, shall they be stoned—their blood, shall be upon themselves.
