5 Mosebog 24
1 Når en Mand tager en Kvinde til Ægte, og hun ikke vinder hans Yndest, fordi han finder noget ved hende, der vækker Ubehag hos ham, og han skriver hende et Skilsmissebrev og giver hende det i Hænde og sender hende ud af sit Hjem,
When a man has taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he has found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 så må hun efter at have forladt hans Hjem gå hen og gifte sig med en anden Mand;
And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
3 får denne anden Mand også Uvilje imod hende og skriver hende et Skilsmissebrev og giver hende det i Hænde og sender hende ud af sit Hjem, eller dør den anden Mand, der havde taget hende til Ægte,
And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and gives it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
4 så har hendes første Mand, som havde sendt hende bort, ikke Ret til igen at tage hende til Hustru, efter at hun er blevet uren. Thi det er HERREN en Vederstyggelighed, og du må ikke bringe Brøde over det Land, HERREN din Gud vil give dig i Eje.
Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and you shall not cause the land to sin, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.
5 Når en Mand nylig har taget sig en Hustru, skal han ikke drage med i Krig, og der skal ikke pålægges ham nogen som helst Forpligtelse; han skal have Frihed til at blive hjemme et År og glæde sin Hustru, som han har ægtet.
When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he has taken.
6 Man må ikke tage en Håndkværn i Pant, heller ikke den øverste Møllesten; thi det var at tage Livet selv i Pant.
No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he takes a man's life to pledge.
7 Når nogen gribes i at stjæle en af sine Brødre blandt Israelitterne og gør ham Fortræd eller sælger ham, da skal en sådan Tyv lade sit Liv. Du skal udrydde det onde af din Midte.
If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and makes merchandise of him, or sells him; then that thief shall die; and you shall put evil away from among you.
8 Tag dig i Vare med Spedalskhed, så du meget omhyggeligt handler efter alt, hvad Levitpræsterne lærer eder; som jeg har påbudt dem, skal I omhyggeligt handle.
Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so all of you shall observe to do.
9 Kom i Hu, hvad HERREN din Gud gjorde ved Mirjam undervejs, da I drog bort fra Ægypten.
Remember what the LORD your God did unto Miriam by the way, after that all of you were come forth out of Egypt.
10 Når du yder din Næste et Lån, må du ikke gå ind i hans Hus for at tage Pant af ham.
When you do lend your brother any thing, you shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
11 Du skal blive stående udenfor, og den Mand, du yder Lånet, skal bringe Pantet ud til dig.
You shall stand abroad, and the man to whom you do lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto you.
12 Hvis han er en fattig Mand, må du ikke lægge dig til Hvile med hans Pant;
And if the man be poor, you shall not sleep with his pledge:
13 ved Solnedgang skal du give ham Pantet tilbage, for at han kan lægge sig til Hvile i sin Kappe. Da velsigner han dig derfor, og du står retfærdiggjort for HERREN din Guds Åsyn.
In any case you shall deliver him the pledge again when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless you: and it shall be righteousness unto you before the LORD your God.
14 Du må ikke forurette en nødlidende, fattig Daglejer, hvad enten han hører til dine Brødre eller de fremmede inden dine Porte nogetsteds i dit Land.
You shall not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of your brethren, or of your strangers that are in your land within your gates:
15 Dag for Dag skal du give ham hans Løn, så at Solen ikke går ned derover, thi han er nødlidende og venter med Længsel derpå. Ellers råber han til HERREN over dig, og du pådrager dig Skyld.
At his day you shall give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and sets his heart upon it: lest he cry against you unto the LORD, and it be sin unto you.
16 Fædre skal ikke lide Døden for Børns Skyld, og Børn skal ikke lide Døden for Fædres Skyld. Enhver skal lide Døden for sin egen Synd.
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 Du må ikke bøje Retten for den fremmede og den faderløse, og du må ikke tage Enkens Klædning i Pant.
You shall not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
18 Men kom i Hu, at du var Træl i Ægypten, og at HERREN din Gud udløste dig derfra. Derfor byder jeg dig at handle således.
But you shall remember that you were a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you thence: therefore I command you to do this thing.
19 Når du bjærger din Høst på din Mark og glemmer et Neg på Marken, må du ikke vende tilbage for at hente det; det skal tilfalde den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken, for at HERREN din Gud kan velsigne dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for.
When you cut down your harvest in your field, and have forgot a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
20 Når du slår dine Oliven ned, må du ikke bagefter gennemsøge Grenene; den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken skal det tilfalde.
When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
21 Når du høster din Vin, må du ikke holde Efterhøst; den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken skal det tilfalde.
When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
22 Kom i Hu, at du selv var Træl i Ægypten; derfor byder jeg dig at handle således.
And you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command you to do this thing.
