4 Mosebog 5
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
The LORD spoke to 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 children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, everyone who has a discharge, and whoever is unclean by a corpse.
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.
You shall put both male and female outside of the camp so that they don’t defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell.”
4 Det gjorde Israeliterne saa; de førte dem uden for Lejren, saaledes som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.
The children of Israel did so, and put them outside of the camp; as the LORD spoke to Moses, so the children of Israel did.
5 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
The LORD spoke to 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 to the children of Israel: ‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against the LORD, and that soul is guilty,
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 he shall confess his sin which he has done; and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been 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 the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to the LORD shall be the priest’s, in addition to the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him.
9 Al Offerydelse, alle Helliggaver, som Israeliterne frembærer til Præsten, skal tilfalde ham.
Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.
10 Alle Helliggaver skal tilfalde ham; hvad nogen giver Præsten, skal tilfalde ham.
Every man’s holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.’”
11 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Naar en Hustru forser sig imod sin Mand og er ham utro,
“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him,
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 lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and this is kept concealed, and she is defiled, there is no witness against her, and she isn’t taken in the act;
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,
and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife and she is defiled; or if the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife and she isn’t defiled;
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 the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: one tenth of an ephah of barley meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory.
16 Saa skal Præsten føre hende frem og stille hende for HERRENS Aasyn.
The priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD.
17 Og Præsten skal tage helligt Vand i et Lerkar, og af Støvet paa Boligens Gulv skal Præsten tage noget og komme i Vandet.
The priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and the priest shall take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it 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.
The priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and let the hair of the woman’s head go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. The priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings 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.
The priest shall cause her to take an oath and shall tell the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you haven’t gone aside to uncleanness, being under your husband’s authority, be free from this water of bitterness that brings 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 you have gone astray, being under your husband’s authority, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your 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 the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, “May the LORD make you a curse and an oath amongst your people, when the LORD allows your thigh to fall away, and your body 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!«
and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels, and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.” 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
“‘The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall wipe them into the water of bitterness.
24 og give Kvinden den bitre Vandes Forbandelsesvand at drikke, for at Forbandelsesvandet kan komme ind i hende til bitter Vaande.
He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.
25 Derefter skal Præsten tage Skinsyge Afgrødeofferet af Kvindens Haand, udføre Svingningen dermed for HERRENS Aasyn og bære det hen til Alteret.
The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the meal offering before the LORD, and bring it to 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.
The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as its memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman 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.
When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away; and the woman will be a curse amongst her people.
28 Men dersom Kvinden ikke har besmittet sig, dersom hun er ren, bliver hun uskadt og kan faa Børn.
If the woman isn’t defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive offspring.
29 Det er Loven om Skinsyge; naar en Hustru forser sig imod sin Mand og besmittes,
“‘This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes astray, and is defiled,
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 the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute on her all this law.
31 Manden skal være sagesløs, men saadan en Hustru skal undgælde for sin Brøde.
The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.’”
