5 Mosebog 23

1 Ingen, der er gildet ved Knusning eller Snit, har Adgang til HERRENS Forsamling.

No man injured by crushing or cutting off may enter the assembly of Yahweh.

2 Ingen, som er født i blandet Ægteskab, har Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling; end ikke i tiende Led har hans Afkom Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling.

No illegitimate child may belong to the assembly of Yahweh; as far as to the tenth generation of his descendants, none of them may belong to the assembly of Yahweh.

3 Ingen Ammonit eller Moabit har Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling; end ikke i tiende Led har deres Afkom nogen Sinde Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling,

An Ammonite or a Moabite may not belong to the assembly of Yahweh; as far as to the tenth generation of his descendants, none of them may belong to the assembly of Yahweh.

4 fordi de ikke kom eder i Møde med Brød eller Vand undervejs, da I drog bort fra Ægypten, og fordi han lejede Bileam, Beors Søn, fra Petor i Aram Nabarajim, imod dig til at forbande dig;

This is because they did not meet you with bread and with water on the road when you had come out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim, to curse you.

5 men HERREN din Gud vilde ikke høre på Bileam, og HERREN din Gud forvandlede Forbandelsen til Velsignelse, fordi HERREN din Gud elskede dig.

But Yahweh your God would not listen to Balaam; instead, Yahweh your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because Yahweh your God loved you.

6 Du skal aldrig i Evighed bekymre dig om deres Velfærd og Lykke!

You must never seek their peace or prosperity, during all your days.

7 Derimod må du ikke afsky Edomiterne, thi det er dine Brødre. Heller ikke Ægypterne må du afsky, thi du har levet som fremmed i deres Land.

You must not detest an Edomite, for he is your brother; you must not abhor an Egyptian, because you were a foreigner in his land.

8 Deres Efterkommere må have Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling i tredje Led.

The descendants of the third generation that are born to them may belong to the assembly of Yahweh.

9 Når du går i Krig mod dine Fjender og lægger dig i Lejr, så vogt dig for alt, hvad der er utilbørligt.

When you march out as an army against your enemies, then you must keep yourselves from every evil thing.

10 Findes der nogen hos dig, der på Grund af en natlig Hændelse ikke er ren, skal han gå uden for Lejren, han må ikke komme ind i Lejren;

If there is among you any man who is unclean because of what happened to him at night, then he must go out of the army's camp; he must not come back into the camp.

11 når det lakker mod Aften, skal han tvætte sig med Vand, og når Solen går ned, må han atter komme ind i Lejren.

When evening comes, he must bathe himself in water; when the sun goes down, he will come back inside the camp.

12 Du skal have en afsides Plads uden for Lejren, hvor du kan gå for dig selv;

You must have a place also outside the camp to which you will go;

13 og du skal have en Pind i dit Bælte, og når du sætter dig derude, skal du med den grave et Hul og bagefter tildække dine Udtømmelser.

and you will have something among your tools to dig with; when you squat down to relieve yourself, you must dig with it and then put back the earth and cover up what has come out from you.

14 Thi HERREN din Gud drager med midt i din Lejr for at hjælpe dig og give dine Fjender i din Magt; derfor skal din Lejr være hellig, for at han ikke skal se noget hos dig, der vækker Væmmelse, og vende sig fra dig.

For Yahweh your God walks in the midst of your camp to give you victory and to give your enemies into your hand. Therefore your camp must be holy, so that he may not see any unclean thing among you and turn away from you.

15 Du må ikke udlevere en Træl til hans Herre, når han er flygtet fra sin Herre og søger Tilflugt hos dig.

You must not give back to his master a slave who has escaped from his master.

16 Han må tage Ophold i din Midte på det Sted, han selv vælger, inden dine Porte, hvor han helst vil være, og du må ikke gøre ham Men.

Let him live with you, in whatever town he chooses. Do not oppress him.

17 Ingen af Israels Døtre må være Skøge, og ingen af Israels Sønner må være Mandsskøge.

There must be no cultic prostitute among any of the daughters of Israel, neither must there be a cultic prostitute among the sons of Israel.

18 Du må ikke for at opfylde et Løfte bringe Skøgefortjeneste eller Hundeløn til HERREN din Guds Hus; thi begge dele er HERREN din Gud en Vederstyggelighed.

You must not bring the wages of a prostitute or the wages of a dog into the house of Yahweh your God for any vow; for both these are abominations to Yahweh your God.

19 Du må ikke tage Rente af din Broder, hverken af Penge, Fødevarer eller andet, som man kan tage Rente af.

You must not lend on interest to your fellow Israelite—interest of money, interest of food, or the interest of anything that is lent on interest.

20 Af Udlændinge må du tage Rente, men ikke af din Broder, hvis HERREN din Gud skal velsigne dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for i det Land, du skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.

To a foreigner you may lend on interest; but to your fellow Israelite you must not lend on interest, so that Yahweh your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land which you are going in to possess.

21 Når du aflægger et Løfte til HERREN din Gud, må du ikke tøve med at indfri det; thi ellers vil HERREN din Gud kræve det af dig, og du vil pådrage dig Skyld.

When you make a vow to Yahweh your God, you must not be slow in fulfilling it, for Yahweh your God will surely require it of you; it would be sin for you not to fulfill it.

22 Men hvis du undlader at aflægge Løfter, pådrager du dig ingen Skyld.

But if you will refrain from making a vow, it will be no sin for you.

23 Hvad du engang har sagt, skal du holde, og du skal gøre, hvad du frivilligt har lovet HERREN din Gud, hvad du har udtalt med din Mund.

That which has gone out from your lips you must observe and do; according as you have vowed to Yahweh your God, anything that you have freely promised with your mouth.

24 Når du kommer ind i din Næstes Vingård, må du spise alle de Druer, du har Lyst til, så du bliver mæt; men du må ingen komme i din Kurv.

When you go into your neighbor's vineyard, you may eat as many grapes as you desire, but do not put any in your basket.

25 Når du går igennem din Næstes Sæd, må du plukke Aks med din Hånd, men du må ikke komme til din Næstes Sæd med Segl.

When you go into your neighbor's ripe grain, you may pluck the heads of grain with your hand, but do not put a sickle to your neighbor's ripe grain.
