3 Mosebog 25

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

And the LORD spoke unto Moses in mount Sinai, 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 unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When all of you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.

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

Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;

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 of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard.

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.

That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto 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 sabbath of the land shall be food for you; for you, and for your servant, and for your maid, and for your hired servant, and for your stranger that sojourns with you.

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

And for your cattle, and for the beast that are in your land, shall all the increase thereof be 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 you shall number seven sabbaths of years unto you, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto you forty and nine 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.

Then shall you cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall all of you make the trumpet sound throughout 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 all of you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and all of you shall return every man unto his possession, and all of you shall return every man unto 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;

A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: all of you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your vine undressed.

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

For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: all of you shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

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

In the year of this jubile all of you shall return every man unto his possession.

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

And if you sell ought unto your neighbour, or buy ought of your neighbour's hand, all of you shall not oppress one another:

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 jubile you shall buy of your neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto you:

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 to the multitude of years you shall increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years you shall diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits does he sell unto you.

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

All of you shall not therefore oppress one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am the LORD your God.

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

Wherefore all of you shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and all of you shall dwell in the land in safety.

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

And the land shall yield her fruit, and all of you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

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

And if all of you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:

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

Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit 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 all of you shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in all of you shall eat of the old store.

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

The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for all of you are strangers and sojourners with me.

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

And in all the land of your possession all of you shall grant a redemption 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.

If your brother be becoming poor, and has sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.

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

And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;

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 let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the surplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto 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 he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that has bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto 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 a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.

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 redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.

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 of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.

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

Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

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 a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

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

But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it 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 your brother be becoming poor, and fallen in decay with you; then you shall relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with you.

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

Take you no interest of him, or increase: but fear your God; that your brother may live with you.

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

You shall not give him your money upon interest, nor lend him your victuals for 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, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and 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 your brother that dwells by you be becoming poor, and be sold unto you; you shall not compel him to serve as a bondservant:

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

But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you, and shall serve you unto the year of jubile.

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

And then shall he depart from you, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

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

For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.

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

You shall not rule over him with rigour; but shall fear your God.

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

Both your bondmen, and your bondmaids, which you shall have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall all of you buy bondmen and bondmaids.

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,

Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall all of you buy, and of their families that are with you, which they brings forth in your land: and they shall be your 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 all of you shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, all of you shall not rule one over another with rigour.

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 sojourner or stranger wax rich by you, and your brother that dwells by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by you, or to the stock of the stranger's family:

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

After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may 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.

Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may 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.

And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.

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

If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

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 there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.

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.

And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in your sight.

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

And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both 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 unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
