3 Mosebog 25

1 Og HERREN talede til Moses paa Sinaj Bjerg og sagde:

And the Lord spoke to Moses in the mount Sina, saying,

2 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Naar I kommer til det Land, jeg vil give eder, skal Landet holde Sabbatshvile for. HERREN.

Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whensoever ye shall have entered into the land, which I give to you, then the land shall rest which I give to you, for its sabbaths to the Lord.

3 Seks Aar skal du besaa din Mark, og seks Aar skal du beskære din Vingaard og indsamle Landets Afgrøde;

Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shall prune thy vine, and gather in its fruit.

4 men i det syvende Aar skal Landet have en fuldkommen Sabbatshvile, en Sabbat for HERREN; din Mark maa du ikke besaa, og din Vingaard maa du ikke beskære.

But in the seventh year [shall be] a sabbath, it shall be a rest to the land, a sabbath to the Lord: thou shalt not sow thy field, and thou shalt not prune thy vine.

5 Det selvgroede efter din Høst maa du ikke høste, og Druerne paa de ubeskaarne Vinstokke maa du ikke plukke; det skal være et Sabbatsaar for Landet.

And thou shalt not gather the spontaneous produce of thy field, and thou shalt not gather fully the grapes of thy dedication: it shall be a year of rest to the land.

6 Hvad der gror af sig selv, medens Landet holder Sabbat, skal tjene eder til Føde, dig selv, din Træl og din Trælkvinde, din Daglejer og den indvandrede hos dig, dem, der bor som fremmede hos dig;

And the sabbaths of the land shall be food for thee, and for thy man-servant, and for thy maid-servant, and thy hireling, and the stranger that abides with thee.

7 dit Kvæg og de vilde Dyr i dit Land skal hele Afgrøden tjene til Føde.

And for thy cattle, and for the wild beats that are in thy land, shall every fruit of it be for food.

8 Og du skal tælle dig syv Aarsabbater frem, syv Gange syv Aar, saa de syv Aarsabbater udgør et Tidsrum af ni og fyrretyve Aar.

And thou shalt reckon to thyself seven sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and they shall be to thee seven weeks of years, nine and forty years.

9 Saa skal du lade Alarmhornet lyde rundt om paa den tiende Dag i den syvende Maaned; paa Forsoningsdagen skal I lade Hornet lyde rundt om i hele eders Land.

In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall make a proclamation with the sound of a trumpet in all your land; on the day of atonement ye shall make a proclamation with a trumpet in all your land.

10 Og I skal hellige det halvtredsindstyvende Aar og udraabe Frigivelse i Landet for alle Indbyggerne; et Jubelaar skal det være eder; enhver af eder skal vende tilbage til sin Ejendom, og enhver af eder skal vende tilbage til sin Slægt;

And ye shall sanctify the year, the fiftieth year, and ye shall proclaim a release upon the land to all that inhabit it; it shall be given a year of release, a jubilee for you; and each one shall depart to his possession, and ye shall go each to his family.

11 et Jubelaar skal dette Aar, det halvtredsindstyvende, være eder; I maa ikke saa og ikke høste, hvad der gror af sig selv i det, eller plukke Druer af de ubeskaarne Vinstokke;

This is a jubilee of release, the year shall be to you the fiftieth year: ye shall not sow, nor reap the produce that comes of itself from the land, neither shall ye gather its dedicated fruits.

12 thi det er et Jubelaar, helligt skal det være eder; I skal spise, hvad Marken bærer af sig selv.

For it is a jubilee of release; it shall be holy to you, ye shall eat its fruits off the fields.

13 I Jubelaaret skal enhver af eder vende tilbage til sin Ejendom.

In the year of the release [even] the jubilee of it, shall [each] one return to his possession.

14 Naar du sælger din Næste noget eller køber noget af ham, maa I ikke forurette hinanden.

And if thou shouldest sell a possession to thy neighbour, or if thou shouldest buy of thy neighbour, let not a man oppress his neighbour.

15 Naar du køber noget af din Næste, skal der regnes med Aarene siden sidste Jubelaar; naar han sælger dig noget, skal der regnes med Afgrøderne indtil næste Jubelaar.

According to the number of years after the jubilee shalt thou buy of thy neighbour, according to the number of years of the fruits shall he sell to thee.

16 Jo flere Aar der er tilbage, des højere maa du sætte Prisen, jo færre, des lavere, thi hvad han sælger dig, er et vist Antal Afgrøder.

According as [there may be] a greater number of years he shall increase [the value of] his possession, and according as [there may be] a less number of years he shall lessen [the value of] his possession; for according to the number of his crops, so shall he sell to thee.

17 Ingen af eder maa forurette sin Næste; du skal frygte din Gud, thi jeg er HERREN din Gud!

Let not a man oppress his neighbour, and thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: I am the Lord thy God.

18 I skal gøre efter mine Anordninger og holde mine Lovbud, saa I gør efter dem; saa skal I bo trygt i Landet,

And ye shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgments; and do ye observe them, and ye shall keep them, and dwell securely in the land.

19 og Landet skal give sin Frugt, saa I kan spise eder mætte og bo trygt deri.

And the land shall yield her increase, and ye shall eat to fullness, and shall dwell securely in it.

20 Men naar I siger: »Hvad skal vi da spise i det syvende Aar, naar vi hverken saar eller indsamler vor Afgrøde?«

And if ye should say, What shall we eat in this seventh year, if we do not sow nor gather in our fruits?

21 saa vil jeg opbyde min Velsignelse til Bedste for eder i det sjette Aar, saa det bærer Afgrøde for de tre Aar;

Then will I send my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and the land shall produce its fruits for three years.

22 i det ottende Aar skal I saa, men I skal leve af gammelt Korn af den sidste Afgrøde indtil det niende Aar; indtil dets Afgrøde kommer, skal I leve af gammelt Korn.

And ye shall sow in the eighth year, and eat old fruits till the ninth year: until its fruit come, ye shall eat old fruits of the old.

23 Jorden i Landet maa I ikke sælge uigenkaldeligt; thi mig tilhører Landet, I er kun fremmede og indvandrede hos mig;

And the land shall not be sold for a permanence; for the land is mine, because ye are strangers and sojourners before me.

24 overalt i det Land, I faar i Eje, skal I sørge for, at Jorden kan indløses.

And in every land of your possession, ye shall allow ransoms for the land.

25 Naar din Broder kommer i Trang, saa han maa sælge noget af sin Ejendom, skal hans nærmeste Slægtning melde sig som Løser for ham og indløse, hvad hans Broder har solgt.

And if thy brother who is with thee be poor, and should have sold [part] of his possession, and his kinsman who is nigh to him come, then he shall redeem the possession which his brother has sold.

26 Hvis en ingen Løser har, men selv bliver i Stand til at skaffe den fornødne Løsesum,

And if one have no near kinsman, and he prosper with his hand, and he find sufficient money, [even] his ransom;

27 skal han udregne, hvor mange Aar der er gaaet siden Salget, og kun tilbagebetale Manden der købte det, for den Tid, der er tilbage, og derpaa igen overtage sin Ejendom.

then shall he calculate the years of his sale, and he shall give what is due to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his possession.

28 Er han derimod ikke i Stand til at skaffe den fornødne Sum til Tilbagebetalingen, saa skal det, han har solgt, blive i Køberens Eje til Jubelaaret; men i Jubelaaret bliver det frit, saa han atter kan overtage sin Ejendom.

But if his hand have not prospered sufficiently, so as that he should restore the money to him, then he that bought the possessions shall have them till the sixth year of the release; and it shall go out in the release, and the owner shall return to his possession.

29 Naar en Mand sælger et Beboelseshus i en By med Mure om, gælder hans Indløsningsret kun et fuldt Aar efter Salget; hans Indløsningsret gælder et Aar.

And if any one should sell an inhabited house in a walled city, then there shall be the ransom of it, until [the time] is fulfilled: its time of ransom shall be a full year.

30 Hvis derfor Indløsning ikke har fundet Sted, før et fuldt Aar er omme, gaar Huset i Byen med Mure om uigenkaldeligt over i Køberens og hans Efterkommeres Eje; det bliver ikke frit i Jubelaaret.

And if it be not ransomed until there be completed of its time a full year, the house which is in the walled city shall be surely confirmed to him that bought it, throughout his generations; and it shall not go out in the release.

31 Derimod henregnes Huse i Landsbyer, der ikke er omgivne af Mure, til Marklandet; for dem gælder Indløsningsretten, og i Jubelaaret bliver de fri.

But the houses in the villages which have not a wall round about them, shall be reckoned as the fields of the country: they shall always be redeemable, and they shall go out in the release.

32 Men med Hensyn til Leviternes Byer, Husene i de Byer, der tilhører dem, da gælder der en ubegrænset Indløsningsret for Leviterne;

And the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities in their possession, shall be always redeemable to the Levites.

33 og naar en af Leviterne ikke gør sin Indløsningsret gældende, bliver Huset, han solgte, i de Byer, der tilhører dem, frit i Jubelaaret, thi Husene i Leviternes Byer er deres Ejendom blandt Israeliterne.

And if any one shall redeem a house of the Levites, then shall their sale of the houses of their possession go out in the release; because the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the children of Israel.

34 Heller ikke maa Græsmarkerne, der hører til deres Byer, sælges, thi de tilhører dem som evigt Eje.

And the lands set apart for their cities shall not be sold, because this is their perpetual possession.

35 Naar din Broder i dit Nabolag kommer i Trang og ikke kan bjærge Livet, skal du holde ham oppe; som fremmed og indvandret skal han leve hos dig.

And if thy brother who is with thee become poor, and he fail in resources with thee, thou shalt help him as a stranger and a sojourner, and thy brother shall live with thee.

36 Du maa ikke tage Rente eller Opgæld af ham, men du skal frygte din Gud og lade din Broder leve hos dig;

Thou shalt not receive from him interest, nor increase: and thou shalt fear thy God: I [am] the Lord: and thy brother shall live with thee.

37 du maa ikke laane ham Penge mod Renter eller give ham af din Føde mod Opgæld.

Thou shalt not lend thy money to him at interest, and thou shalt not lend thy meat to him to be returned with increase.

38 Jeg er HERREN eders Gud, som førte eder ud af Ægypten for at give eder Kana'ans Land, for at være eders Gud.

I [am] the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Chanaan, so as to be your God.

39 Naar din Broder i dit Nabolag kommer i Trang og han maa sælge sig selv til dig, maa du ikke lade ham arbejde som Træl,

And if thy brother by thee be lowered, and be sold to thee, he shall not serve thee with the servitude of a slave.

40 men han skal være hos dig som Daglejer eller indvandret; han skal arbejde hos dig til Jubelaaret.

He shall be with thee as a hireling or a sojourner, he shall work for thee till the year of release:

41 Da skal han gives fri sammen med sine Børn og vende tilbage til sin Slægt og sine Fædres Ejendom,

and he shall go out in the release, and his children with him; and he shall go to his family, he shall hasten back to his patrimony.

42 thi mine Trælle er de, som jeg førte ud af Ægypten; de maa ikke sælges, som man sælger Trælle.

Because these are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; such an one shall not be sold as a [common] servant.

43 Du maa ikke bruge din Magt over ham med Haardhed; du skal flygte din Gud.

Thou shalt not oppress him with labour, and shalt fear the Lord thy God.

44 Men har du Brug for Trælle og Trælkvinder, skal du købe dem af de Folkeslag, der bor rundt om eder;

And whatever number of men-servants and maid-servants thou shalt have, thou shalt purchase male and female servants from the nations that are round about thee.

45 ogsaa af Børnene efter de indvandrede, der bor som fremmede hos eder, maa I købe og af deres Familier, som er hos eder, og som de har avlet i eders Land; de maa blive eders Ejendom,

And of the sons of the sojourners that are among you, of these ye shall buy and of their relations, all that shall be in your lands; let them be to you for a possession.

46 og dem maa I lade gaa i Arv og Eje til eders Børn efter eder; dem maa I bruge som Trælle paa Livstid; men over Israeliterne, eders Brødre, maa du ikke bruge din Magt med Haardhed, Broder over Broder.

And ye shall distribute them to your children after you, and they shall be to you permanent possessions for ever: but of your brethren the children of Israel, one shall not oppress his brother in labours.

47 Naar en fremmed eller en indvandret hos dig kommer til Velstand, og en af dine Brødre i hans Nabolag kommer i Trang, og han maa sælge sig til den fremmede eller den indvandrede hos dig eller til en Efterkommer af en fremmeds Slægt,

And if a stranger or sojourner with thee wax rich, and thy brother in distress be sold to the stranger or the sojourner that is with thee, or to a proselyte by extraction;

48 saa gælder Indløsningsretten for ham efter Salget; en af hans Brødre maa indløse ham,

after he is sold to him there shall be redemption for him, one of his brethren shall redeem him.

49 eller ogsaa maa hans Farbroder eller Fætter eller en anden kødelig Slægtning af hans Familie indløse ham; han maa ogsaa indløse sig selv, hvis han faar Evne dertil.

A brother of his father, or a son of his father's brother shall redeem him; or let one of his near kin of his tribe redeem him, and if he should be rich and redeem himself,

50 Da skal han sammen med den, der købte ham, udregne Tiden fra det Aar, han solgte sig til ham, til Jubelaaret, og Købesummen skal svare til det Aaremaal; hans Arbejdstid hos ham skal regnes som en Daglejers.

then shall he calculate with his purchaser from the year that he sold himself to him until the year of release: and the money of his purchase shall be as that of a hireling, he shall be with him from year to year.

51 Er der endnu mange Aar tilbage, skal han i Løsesum udrede den tilsvarende Del af Købesummen.

And if any have a greater number of years [than enough], according to these he shall pay his ransom out of his purchase-money.

52 Og er der kun faa Aar tilbage til Jubelaaret, skal han regne dermed og udrede sin Løsesum i Forhold til de Aar, han har tilbage.

And if but a little time be left of the years to the year of release, then shall he reckon to him according to his years, and shall pay his ransom

53 Som en Aar for Aar lejet Daglejer skal han være hos ham; du maa ikke roligt se paa, at Køberen bruger sin Magt over ham med Haardhed.

as a hireling; he shall be with him from year to year; thou shalt not oppress him with labour before thee.

54 Men indløses han ikke paa en af disse Maader, skal han frigives i Jubelaaret, baade han selv og hans Børn.

And if he do not pay his ransom accordingly, he shall go out in the year of his release, he and his children with him.

55 Thi mig tilhører Israeliterne som Trælle; mine Trælle er de, thi jeg førte dem ud af Ægypten. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!

For the children of Israel are my servants: they are my attendants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt.
