< 5 Mosebog 23 >

1 Ingen, der er gildet ved Knusning eller Snit, har Adgang til HERRENS Forsamling.
He who is emasculated by crushing or cutting shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly.
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.
A person born of a forbidden union shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one of his enter into the LORD’s assembly.
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 shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one belonging to them enter into the LORD’s assembly forever,
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;
because they didn’t meet you with bread and with water on the way when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, 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.
Nevertheless the LORD your God wouldn’t listen to Balaam, but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the LORD your God loved you.
6 Du skal aldrig i Evighed bekymre dig om deres Velfærd og Lykke!
You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
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 shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is your brother. You shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
8 Deres Efterkommere må have Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling i tredje Led.
The children of the third generation who are born to them may enter into the LORD’s assembly.
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 go out and camp against your enemies, then you shall 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 not clean by reason of that which happens to him by night, then shall he go outside of the camp. He shall not come within 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.
but it shall be, when evening comes, he shall bathe himself in water. When the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
12 Du skal have en afsides Plads uden for Lejren, hvor du kan gå for dig selv;
You shall have a place also outside of the camp where you go relieve yourself.
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.
You shall have a trowel among your weapons. It shall be, when you relieve yourself, you shall dig with it, and shall turn back and cover your excrement;
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 the LORD your God walks in the middle of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you. Therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in 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 shall not deliver to his master a servant who has escaped from his master to you.
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.
He shall dwell with you, among you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best. You shall not oppress him.
17 Ingen af Israels Døtre må være Skøge, og ingen af Israels Sønner må være Mandsskøge.
There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of 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 shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a male prostitute, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow; for both of these are an abomination to the LORD your God.
19 Du må ikke tage Rente af din Broder, hverken af Penge, Fødevarer eller andet, som man kan tage Rente af.
You shall not lend on interest to your brother: interest of money, interest of food, 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.
You may charge a foreigner interest; but you shall not charge your brother interest, that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to possess it.
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 vow a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not be slack to pay it, for the LORD your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
22 Men hvis du undlader at aflægge Løfter, pådrager du dig ingen Skyld.
But if you refrain from making a vow, it shall be no sin in 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.
You shall observe and do that which has gone out of your lips. Whatever you have vowed to the LORD your God as a free will offering, which you have promised with your mouth, you must do.
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 come into your neighbor’s vineyard, then you may eat your fill of grapes at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your container.
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 come into your neighbor’s standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbor’s standing grain.
