4 Mosebog 5

1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying: —

2 Byd Israeliterne at fjerne alle spedalske fra Lejren, alle, der lider af Flaad, og alle, der er blevet urene ved Lig;

Command the sons of Israel, that they send forth out of the camp, every leper, and every one that hath a flux, —and every one that is unclean by the dead:

3 baade Mænd og Kvinder skal I fjerne og føre uden for Lejren, for at de ikke skal gøre deres Lejr uren, hvor jeg bor midt iblandt dem.

whether male or female, ye shall send them forth, unto the outside of the camp, shall ye send them, —that they make not their camps unclean, in the midst whereof, I, have my habitation.

4 Det gjorde Israeliterne saa; de førte dem uden for Lejren, saaledes som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.

And the sons of Israel did so, and sent them forth unto the outside of the camp, —as Yahweh spake unto Moses, so, did the sons of Israel.

5 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

6 Sig til Israeliterne: Naar en Mand eller Kvinde begaar nogen af alle de Synder, som Mennesker begaar, saaledes at han gør sig skyldig i Svig mod HERREN, og det Menneske derved paadrager sig Skyld,

Speak unto the sons of Israel: When any man or woman, shall do aught of any human sin, in acting unfaithfully against Yahweh, —and that person shall become aware of his guilt,

7 saa skal de bekende Synden, de har begaaet, og Gerningsmanden skal erstatte det, han har forbrudt sig med, efter dets fulde Værdi med Tillæg af en Femtedel og give det til den, han har forbrudt sig imod.

then shall they confess their sin which they have done, and he shall make good that wherein he is guilty, in the principal thereof, and the fifth part thereof, shall he add thereunto, —and give to him against whom he is guilty,

8 Og hvis denne ikke har efterladt sig nogen Løser, hvem han kan yde Erstatningen, saa skal Erstatningen, som ydes, tilfalde HERREN, det vil sige Præsten, foruden den Soningsvæder, ved hvilken der skaffes ham Soning.

But if one have no kinsman unto whom he may make good that wherein he is guilty, then that wherein he is guilty, which is to be restored to Yahweh, shall be the priest’s, —besides the ram of propitiation, wherewith a propitiatory-covering is to be put over him.

9 Al Offerydelse, alle Helliggaver, som Israeliterne frembærer til Præsten, skal tilfalde ham.

And every heave-offering, of all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel which they bring near to the priest, unto him, shall it belong.

10 Alle Helliggaver skal tilfalde ham; hvad nogen giver Præsten, skal tilfalde ham.

And, every man’s hallowed things, shall be, his own, —what any man giveth to the priest, shall be his.

11 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:

12 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Naar en Hustru forser sig imod sin Mand og er ham utro,

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, —When any man’s wife, shall turn aside, and commit against him an act of unfaithfulness;

13 idet en anden Mand har Samleje med hende, uden at det er kommet til hendes Mands Kundskab, og uden at det er blevet opdaget, skønt hun har besmittet sig, og uden at der er noget Vidne imod hende, da hun ikke er grebet paa fersk Gerning,

and a man shall lie with her carnally, and it shall be concealed from the eyes of her husband and be kept close but, she, hath committed uncleanness, —though witness, there is none against her, and she, hath not been caught;

14 og han gribes af Skinsygens Aand, saa han bliver skinsyg paa sin Hustru, som ogsaa i Virkeligheden har besmittet sig, eller han gribes af Skinsygens Aand, saa han bliver skinsyg paa sin Hustru, skønt hun ikke har besmittet sig,

but there shall pass over him a spirit of jealousy, and he shall become jealous of his wife, she having committed uncleanness, —or there shall pass over him a spirit of jealousy, and he shall become jealous of his wife, she not, having committed uncleanness,

15 saa skal Manden bringe sin Hustru til Præsten og medbringe som Offergave for hende en Tiendedel Efa Bygmel; han maa hverken hælde Olie over eller komme Røgelse paa, thi det er et Skinsyge Afgrødeoffer, et Minde Afgrødeoffer, der skal minde om Brøde.

then shall the man bring in his wife unto the priest, and shall bring in her offering for her, the tenth of an ephah of the meal of barley, —he shall not pour thereon oil, nor put thereon frankincense, for a jealousy gift, it is, a reminding gift bringing to mind iniquity.

16 Saa skal Præsten føre hende frem og stille hende for HERRENS Aasyn.

Then shall the priest bring her near, —and cause her to stand before Yahweh;

17 Og Præsten skal tage helligt Vand i et Lerkar, og af Støvet paa Boligens Gulv skal Præsten tage noget og komme i Vandet.

and the priest shall take hallowed water in an earthen vessel, —and of the dust which shall be upon the floor of the habitation, shall the priest take, and put into the water;

18 Saa skal Præsten stille Kvinden frem for HERRENS Aasyn, løse hendes Haar og lægge Minde Afgrødeofferet i hendes Hænder; det er et Skinsyge Afgrødeoffer; og Præsten skal have den bitre Vandes Forbandelsesvand i Haanden.

and the priest shall cause the woman to stand before Yahweh, and shall bare the head of the woman, and shall place upon her hands the reminding gift, it being a jealousy gift, —and in the hand of the priest, shall be the deadly water that bringeth a curse;

19 Derpaa skal Præsten besværge Kvinden og sige til hende: »Hvis ingen har haft Samleje med dig, hvis du ikke har forset dig imod din Mand og besmittet dig, saa skal dette den bitre Vandes Forbandelsesvand ikke skade dig.

and the priest shall put her on oath and shall say unto the woman: —If no man hath lain with thee, and if thou hast not turned aside in uncleanness, [unto another] instead of thy husband, be thou clear from this deadly water that causeth a curse.

20 Men har du forset dig imod din Mand og besmittet dig, og har en anden end din Mand haft Samleje med dig« —

But, if, thou, hast turned aside, [to another] instead of thy husband and if thou hast made thyself unclean, —in that a man hath known thee carnally, other than thy husband,

21 Præsten besværger nu Kvinden med Forbandelsens Ed og siger til hende — »saa gøre HERREN dig til en Forbandelse og Besværgelse i dit Folk, idet han lader din Lænd visne og din Bug svulme op;

then shall the priest put the woman on oath with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, Yahweh give thee up for a curse and for an oath in the midst of thy people, —in that Yahweh shall give up thy thigh to fall away, and thy womb to swell:

22 Forbandelsesvandet her komme ind i dine Indvolde, saa din Bug svulmer op og din Lænd visner!« Og Kvinden skal sige: »Amen, Amen!«

so shall this water that causeth a curse enter into thy body, causing womb to swell and thigh to fall away. And the woman shall say, Amen, Amen.

23 Derpaa skal Præsten skrive disse Forbandelser op paa et Blad og vaske dem ud i den bitre Vandes Vand

Then shall the priest write these curses in a scroll, —and wipe them out into the deadly water;

24 og give Kvinden den bitre Vandes Forbandelsesvand at drikke, for at Forbandelsesvandet kan komme ind i hende til bitter Vaande.

and shall cause the woman to drink the deadly water that causeth a curse, —and the deadly water that causeth a curse shall enter into her.

25 Derefter skal Præsten tage Skinsyge Afgrødeofferet af Kvindens Haand, udføre Svingningen dermed for HERRENS Aasyn og bære det hen til Alteret.

Then shall the priest take from the hand of the woman the jealousy meal-offering, —and shall wave the meal-offering before Yahweh, and bring it near unto the altar;

26 Og Præsten skal tage en Haandfuld af Afgrødeofferet, det, som skal ofres deraf, og bringe det som Røgoffer paa Alteret og derpaa give Kvinden Vandet at drikke.

and the priest shall take a handful from the meal-offering, a remembrancer thereof, and make a perfume at the altar, —and afterwards, shall cause the woman to drink the water.

27 Naar han har givet hende Vandet at drikke, vil Forbandelsesvandet, dersom hun har besmittet sig og været sin Mand utro, blive til bitter Vaande, naar det kommer ind i hende, hendes Bug vil svulme op og hendes Lænd visne, og Kvinden bliver en Forbandelse i sit Folk.

And as soon as he causeth her to drink, the water, then shall it be, that, if she have fallen into uncleanness and committed unfaithfulness against her husband, as soon as the deadly water that causeth a curse hath entered into her, so soon shall her womb swell and her thigh fall away, —thus shall the woman become a curse in the midst of her people.

28 Men dersom Kvinden ikke har besmittet sig, dersom hun er ren, bliver hun uskadt og kan faa Børn.

But, if the woman have not fallen into uncleanness, but is pure, then shall she be clear and shall bear seed.

29 Det er Loven om Skinsyge; naar en Hustru forser sig imod sin Mand og besmittes,

This, is the law of jealousies, —when a wife shall turn aside [to another] instead of her husband, and fall into uncleanness;

30 eller naar en Mand gribes af Skinsygens Aand og bliver skinsyg paa sin Hustru, saa skal han fremstille Hustruen for HERRENS Aasyn, og Præsten skal handle med hende efter alt i denne Lov;

or when there passeth over, a husband, a spirit of jealousy, and he becometh jealous of his wife, then shall he cause the woman to stand before Yahweh, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law:

31 Manden skal være sagesløs, men saadan en Hustru skal undgælde for sin Brøde.

thus shall the man be clear of iniquity; but that woman, shall bear her iniquity.
