2 Mosebog 22
1 Når en Mand stjæler en Okse eller et Får og slagter eller sælger dem, skal han give fem Okser i Erstatning for Oksen og fire Får for Fåret.
And if one steal an ox or a sheep, and kill it or sell it, he shall pay five calves for a calf, and four sheep for a sheep.
2 Hvis en Tyv gribes på fersk Gerning ved et natligt Indbrud og bliver slået ihjel, da bliver der ikke Tale om Blodskyld;
And if the thief be found in the breach [made by himself] and be smitten and die, there shall not be blood shed for him.
3 men hvis Solen er stået op. pådrager man sig Blodskyld. Erstatning skal han give, og ejer han intet, skal han sælges som Træl til Vederlag for det stjålne;
But if the sun be risen upon him, he is guilty, he shall die instead; and if a thief have nothing, let him be sold in compensation for what he has stolen.
4 hvis derimod det stjålne findes levende i hans Besiddelse, da skal han give dobbelt Erstatning, hvad enten det er en Okse, et Æsel, eller et Får.
And if the thing stolen be left and be in his hand alive, whether ox or sheep, he shall restore them two-fold.
5 Når en Mand afsvider en Mark eller en Vingård og lader Ilden brede sig, så den antænder en andens Mark, da skal han give det bedste af sin Mark eller Vingård i Erstatning;
And if any one should feed down a field or a vineyard, and should send in his beast to feed down another field, he shall make compensation of his own field according to his produce; and if he shall have fed down the whole field, he shall pay for compensation the best of his own field and the best of his vineyard.
6 men breder Ilden sig ved at tage fat i Tjørnekrat, og Kornneg eller Sæd brænder, eller en Mark svides af, så skal den, der antændte Ilden, give simpel Erstatning.
And if fire have gone forth and caught thorns, and should also set on fire threshing-floors or ears of corn or a field, he that kindled the fire shall make compensation.
7 Når en Mand giver en anden Penge eller Sager i Varetægt, og de stjæles fra hans Hus, da skal Tyven, hvis han findes, give dobbelt Erstatning;
And if any one give to his neighbour money or goods to keep, and they be stolen out of the man's house, if the thief be found he shall repay double.
8 men hvis Tyven ikke findes, skal Husets Ejer træde frem for Gud og sværge på, at han ikke har forgrebet sig på den andens Gods.
But if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall come forward before God, and shall swear that surely he has not wrought wickedly in regard of any part of his neighbour's deposit,
9 I alle Tilfælde hvor det drejer sig om Uredelighed med en Okse, et Æsel, et Får, en Klædning eller en hvilken som helst bortkommen Ting, hvorom der rejses Krav, skal de to Parters Sag bringes frem for Gud, og den, som Gud dømmer skyldig, skal give den anden dobbelt Erstatning.
according to every injury alleged, both concerning a calf, and an ass, and a sheep, and a garment, and every alleged loss, whatsoever in fact it may be, —the judgment of both shall proceed before God, and he that is convicted by God shall repay to his neighbour double.
10 Når en Mand giver en anden et Æsel, en Okse, et Får eller et andet Stykke Kvæg i Varetægt, og Dyret dør, kommer til Skade eller røves, uden at nogen ser det,
And if any one give to his neighbour to keep a calf or sheep or any beast, and it be wounded or die or be taken, and no one know,
11 da skal han sværge ved HERREN på, at han ikke har forgrebet sig på den andens Ejendom, og det skal være afgørende imellem dem; Dyrets Ejer skal tage Eden god, og den anden behøver ikke at give Erstatning.
an oath of God shall be between both, [each swearing] that he has surely not at all been guilty in the matter of his neighbour's deposit; and so his master shall hold him guiltless, and he shall not make compensation.
12 Stjæles det derimod fra ham, skal han give Ejeren Erstatning.
And if it be stolen from him, he shall make compensation to the owner.
13 Hvis det sønderrives, skal han bringe det sønderrevne Dyr med som Bevis; det sønderrevne skal han ikke erstatte.
And if it be seized of beasts, he shall bring him to [witness] the prey, and he shall not make compensation.
14 Når en låner et Dyr af en anden, og det kommer til Skade eller dør, uden at Ejeren er til Stede, skal han give Erstatning;
And if any one borrow [ought] of his neighbour, and it be wounded or die or be carried away, and the owner of it be not with it, he shall make compensation.
15 er Ejeren derimod til Stede, skal han ikke give Erstatning; var det lejet, er Lejesummen Erstatning.
But if the owner be with it, he shall not make compensation: but if it be a hired thing, there shall be [a compensation] to him instead of his hire.
16 Når en Mand forfører en Jomfru, der ikke er trolovet, og ligger hos hende, skal han udrede Brudekøbesummen for hende og tage hende til Hustru;
And if any one deceive a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her for a wife to himself.
17 og hvis hendes Fader vægrer sig ved at give ham hende, skal han tilveje ham den sædvanlige Brudekøbesum for en Jomfru.
And if her father positively refuse, and will not consent to give her to him for a wife, he shall pay compensation to her father according to the amount of the dowry of virgins.
18 En Troldkvinde må du ikke lade leve.
Ye shall not save the lives of sorcerers.
19 Enhver, der har Omgang med Kvæg, skal lide Døden.
Every one that lies with a beast ye shall surely put to death.
20 Den, der ofrer til andre Guder end HERREN alene, skal der lægges Band på.
He that sacrifices to any gods but to the Lord alone, shall be destroyed by death.
21 Den fremmede må du ikke undertrykke eller forulempe, thi I var selv fremmede i Ægypten.
And ye shall not hurt a stranger, nor afflict him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22 Enken eller den faderløse må I aldrig mishandle;
Ye shall hurt no widow or orphan.
23 hvis I mishandler dem, og de råber om Hjælp til mig, vil jeg visselig høre på deres Klageråb,
And if ye should afflict them by ill-treatment, and they should cry aloud to me, I will surely hear their voice.
24 og da vil min Vrede blusse op, og jeg vil slå eder ihjel med Sværdet, så eders egne Hustruer bliver Enker og eders Børn faderløse.
And I will be very angry, and will slay you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows and your children orphans.
25 Når du låner Penge til en fattig Mand af mit Folk i dit Nabolag, må du ikke optræde som en Ågerkarl over for ham. I må ikke tage Renter af ham.
And if thou shouldest lend money to thy poor brother who is by thee, thou shalt not be hard upon him thou shalt not exact usury of him.
26 Hvis du tager din Næstes Kappe i Pant, skal du give ham den tilbage inden Solnedgang;
And if thou take thy neighbour's garment for a pledge, thou shalt restore it to him before sunset.
27 thi den er det eneste, han har at dække sig med, det er den, han hyller sit Legeme i; hvad skulde han, ellers ligge med? Og når han råber til mig, vil jeg høre ham, thi jeg er barmhjertig.
For this is his clothing, this is the only covering of his nakedness; wherein shall he sleep? If then he shall cry to me, I will hearken to him, for I am merciful.
28 Gud må du ikke spotte, og dit Folks Øvrighed må du ikke forbande.
Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor speak ill of the ruler of thy people.
29 Din Lades Overflod og din Vinperses Saft må du ikke holde tilbage. Den førstefødte af dine Sønner skal du give mig.
Thou shalt not keep back the first-fruits of thy threshing floor and press. The first-born of thy sons thou shalt give to me.
30 Ligeså skal du gøre med dit Hornkvæg og dit Småkvæg; i syv Dage skal det blive hos Moderen, men på den ottende Dag skal I give mig det.
So shalt thou do with thy calf and thy sheep and thine ass; seven days shall it be under the mother, and the eighth day thou shalt give it to me.
31 I skal være mig hellige Mænd; Kød af sønderrevne Dyr må I ikke spise, I skal kaste det for Hundene.
And ye shall be holy men to me; and ye shall not eat flesh taken of beasts, ye shall cast it to the dog.
