3 Mosebog 20
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Sig til Israeliterne: Om nogen af Israeliterne eller de fremmede, der bor hos Israel, giver sit Afkom hen til Molok, da skal han lide Døden; Landets Indbyggere skal stene ham,
Thou shalt also say to the children of Israel, If [there shall be] any of the children of Israel, or of those who have become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the nation upon the land shall stone him with stones.
3 og jeg vender selv mit Åsyn imod den Mand og udrydder ham af hans Folk, fordi han gav sit Afkom hen til Molok for at gøre min Helligdom uren og vanhellige mit hellige Navn;
And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me.
4 og ser end Landets Indbyggere igennem Fingre med den Mand, når han giver sit Afkom hen til Molok, og undlader at dræbe ham,
And if the natives of the land should in anywise overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death;
5 så vender jeg dog selv mit Åsyn imod den Mand og hans Slægt og udrydder ham og alle dem, der følger i hans Spor og boler med Molok, af deres Folk.
then will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from their people.
6 Det Menneske, som henvender sig til Genfærd eller Sandsigerånder og boler med dem, mod det Menneske vil jeg vende mit Åsyn og udrydde ham af hans Folk.
And the soul that shall follow those who have in them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my face against that soul, and will destroy it from among its people.
7 Helliger eder og vær hellige; thi jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
And ye shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy.
8 Hold mine Anordninger og gør efter dem. Jeg er HERREN, som helliger eder!
And ye shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies you.
9 Thi enhver, som forbander sin Fader og sin Moder, skal lide Døden; han har forbandet sin Fader og sin Moder, derfor hviler der Blodskyld på ham.
Every man who shall speak evil of his father or of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his father or his mother? he shall be guilty.
10 Om nogen bedriver Hor med en anden Mands Hustru, om nogen bedriver Hor med sin Næstes Hustru, da skal de lide Døden, Horkarlen såvel som Horkvinden.
Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbour, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress.
11 Om nogen har Samleje med sin Faders Hustru, har han blottet sin Faders Blusel; de skal begge lide Døden, der hviler Blodskyld på dem.
And if any one should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty.
12 Om nogen har Samleje med sin Sønnekone, skal de begge lide Døden; de har øvet Skændselsdåd, der hviler Blodskyld på dem.
And if any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are guilty.
13 Om nogen ligger hos en Mand, på samme Måde som man ligger hos en Kvinde, da har de begge øvet en Vederstyggelighed; de skal lide Døden, der hviler Blodskyld på dem.
And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty.
14 Om nogen ægter en Kvinde og hendes Moder, er det grov Utugt: man skal brænde både ham og begge Kvinderne; der må ikke findes grov Utugt iblandt eder.
Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be iniquity among you.
15 Om nogen har Omgang med et Dyr, skal han lide Døden, og Dyret skal I slå ihjel.
And whosoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and ye shall kill the beast.
16 Om en Kvinde kommer noget Dyr nær for at have kønslig Omgang med det, da skal du ihjelslå både Kvinden og Dyret; de skal lide Døden, der hviler Blodskyld på dem.
And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, ye shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty.
17 Om en Mand tager sin Søster, sin Faders eller sin Moders Datter, til Ægte, så han ser hendes Blusel, og hun hans, da er det en skammelig Gerning; de skal udryddes i deres Landsmænds Påsyn; han har blottet sin Søsters Blusel, han skal undgælde for sin Brøde.
Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, they shall bear their sin.
18 Om en Mand har Samleje med en Kvinde under hendes månedlige Svaghed og blotter hendes Blusel, idet han afdækker hendes Kilde, og hun afdækker sit Blods Kilde, da skal de begge udryddes af deres Folk.
And whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set apart [for a flux], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall both be destroyed from among their generation.
19 Du må ikke blotte din Mosters og din Fasters Blusel, thi den, der gør det, afdækker sin kødelige Slægtnings Blusel; de skal undgælde for deres Brøde.
And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister, or of the sister of thy mother; for that man has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin: they shall bear their iniquity.
20 Om nogen har Samleje med sin Farbroders Hustru, da har han blottet sin Farbroders Blusel, de skal undgælde for deres Synd og dø barnløse.
Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin to him: they shall die childless.
21 Om nogen tager sin Broders Hustru til Ægte, da er det en uren Gerning; han har blottet sin Broders Blusel; de skal blive barnløse.
Whoever shall take his brother's wife, it is uncleanness; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall die childless.
22 Hold alle mine Anordninger og Lovbud og gør efter dem, at ikke Landet, jeg føler eder ind at bo i, skal udspy eder.
And keep ye all my ordinances, and my judgments; and ye shall do them, and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into which I bring you to dwell upon it.
23 Følg ikke det Folks Skikke, som jeg driver bort foran eder, thi de har øvet alt dette; derfor væmmedes jeg ved dem
And walk ye not in the customs of the nations which I drive out from before you; for they have done all these things, and I have abhorred them:
24 og sagde til eder: I skal få deres Land i Eje; jeg giver eder det i Eje, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud, som har udskilt eder fra alle andre Folkeslag.
and I said to you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey: I [am] the Lord your God, who have separated you from all people.
25 I skal skelne mellem rene og urene Dyr og mellem urene og rene Fugle for ikke at gøre eder selv til en Vederstyggelighed ved de Dyr og de Fugle og alt, hvad der rører sig på Jorden, alt, hvad jeg har udskilt for eder og erklæret for urent.
And ye shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and ye shall not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness.
26 Og I skal være mig hellige, thi jeg HERREN er hellig, og jeg har udskilt eder fra alle andre Folkeslag til at høre mig til.
And ye shall be holy to me; because I the Lord your God [am] holy, who separated you from all nations, to be mine.
27 Når der i en Mand eller Kvinde er en Genfærdsånd eller en Sandsigerånd, skal de lide Døden; de skal stenes, der hviler Blodskyld på dem.
And [as for] a man or woman whosoever of them shall have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: ye shall stone them with stones, they are guilty.
