3 Mosebog 25

1 Og HERREN talede til Moses på Sinaj Bjerg og sagde:

Yahweh spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,

2 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Når I kommer til det Land, jeg vil give eder, skal Landet holde Sabbatshvile for. HERREN.

“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, 'When you come into the land that I give you, then the land must be made to keep a Sabbath for Yahweh.

3 Seks År skal du beså din Mark, og seks År skal du beskære din Vingård og indsamle Landets Afgrøde;

You must plant your field for six years, and for six years you must prune your vineyard and gather the produce.

4 men i det syvende År skal Landet have en fuldkommen Sabbatshvile, en Sabbat for HERREN; din Mark må du ikke beså, og din Vingård må du ikke beskære.

But in the seventh year, a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land must be observed, a Sabbath for Yahweh. You must not plant your field or prune your vineyard.

5 Det selvgroede efter din Høst må du ikke høste, og Druerne på de ubeskårne Vinstokke må du ikke plukke; det skal være et Sabbatsår for Landet.

You must not conduct an organized harvest of whatever grows by itself, and you must not conduct an organized harvest of whatever grapes grow on your unpruned vines. This will be a year of solemn rest for the land.

6 Hvad der gror af sig selv, medens Landet holder Sabbat, skal tjene eder til Føde, dig selv, din Træl og din Trælkvinde, din Daglejer og den indvandrede hos dig, dem, der bor som fremmede hos dig;

Whatever the unworked land grows during the Sabbath year will be food for you. You, your male and female servants, your hired servants and the foreigners who live with you may gather food,

7 dit Kvæg og de vilde Dyr i dit Land skal hele Afgrøden tjene til Føde.

and your livestock and also wild animals may eat whatever the land produces.

8 Og du skal tælle dig syv Årsabbater frem, syv Gange syv År, så de syv Årsabbater udgør et Tidsrum af ni og fyrretyve År.

You must count off seven Sabbaths of years, that is, seven times seven years, so that there will be seven Sabbaths of years, totaling forty-nine years.

9 Så skal du lade Alarmhornet lyde rundt om på den tiende Dag i den syvende Måned; på Forsoningsdagen skal I lade Hornet lyde rundt om i hele eders Land.

Then you must blow a loud trumpet everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you must blow a trumpet throughout all your land.

10 Og I skal hellige det halvtredsindstyvende År og udråbe Frigivelse i Landet for alle Indbyggerne; et Jubelår skal det være eder; enhver af eder skal vende tilbage til sin Ejendom, og enhver af eder skal vende tilbage til sin Slægt;

You must set apart the fiftieth year to Yahweh and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It will be a Jubilee for you, in which property and slaves must be returned to their families.

11 et Jubelår skal dette År, det halvtredsindstyvende, være eder; I må ikke så og ikke høste, hvad der gror af sig selv i det, eller plukke Druer af de ubeskårne Vinstokke;

The fiftieth year will be a Jubilee for you. You must not plant or conduct an organized harvest. Eat whatever grows by itself, and gather the grapes that grow on the unpruned vines.

12 thi det er et Jubelår, helligt skal det være eder; I skal spise, hvad Marken bærer af sig selv.

For it is a Jubilee, which will be holy for you. You must eat the produce that grows by itself out of the fields.

13 I Jubelåret skal enhver af eder vende tilbage til sin Ejendom.

You must return everyone to his own property in this year of Jubilee.

14 Når du sælger din Næste noget eller køber noget af ham, må I ikke forurette hinanden.

If you sell any land to your neighbor or buy any land from your neighbor, you must not cheat or wrong each other.

15 Når du køber noget af din Næste, skal der regnes med Årene siden sidste Jubelår; når han sælger dig noget, skal der regnes med Afgrøderne indtil næste Jubelår.

If you buy land from your neighbor, consider the number of years and crops that can be harvested until the next Jubilee. Your neighbor selling the land must consider that also.

16 Jo flere År der er tilbage, des højere må du sætte Prisen, jo færre, des lavere, thi hvad han sælger dig, er et vist Antal Afgrøder.

A larger number of years until the next Jubilee will increase the value of land, and a smaller number of years until the next Jubilee will decrease the value, because the number of harvests the land will produce for the new owner is related to the number of years before the next Jubilee.

17 Ingen af eder må forurette sin Næste; du skal frygte din Gud, thi jeg er HERREN din Gud!

You must not cheat or wrong one another; instead, you must honor your God, for I am Yahweh your God.

18 I skal gøre efter mine Anordninger og holde mine Lovbud, så I gør efter dem; så skal I bo trygt i Landet,

Therefore you must obey my decrees, keep my laws, and carry them out. Then you will live in the land in safety.

19 og Landet skal give sin Frugt, så I kan spise eder mætte og bo trygt deri.

The land will yield its produce, and you will eat your fill and live there in safety.

20 Men når I siger: "Hvad skal vi da spise i det syvende År, når vi hverken sår eller indsamler vor Afgrøde?"

You might say, “What will we eat during the seventh year? Look, we cannot plant or gather our produce.”

21 så vil jeg opbyde min Velsignelse til Bedste for eder i det sjette År, så det bærer Afgrøde for de tre År;

I will command my blessing to come upon you in the sixth year, and it will produce harvest enough for three years.

22 i det ottende År skal I så, men I skal leve af gammelt Korn af den sidste Afgrøde indtil det niende År; indtil dets Afgrøde kommer, skal I leve af gammelt Korn.

You will plant in the eighth year and continue to eat from the previous years' produce and the stored food. Until the harvest of the ninth year comes in, you will be able to eat from the provisions stored in the previous years.

23 Jorden i Landet må I ikke sælge uigenkaldeligt; thi mig tilhører Landet, I er kun fremmede og indvandrede hos mig;

The land must not be sold to a new permanent owner, because the land is mine. You are all foreigners and temporary residents on my land.

24 overalt i det Land, I får i Eje, skal I sørge for, at Jorden kan indløses.

You must observe the right of redemption for all the land that you acquire; you must allow the land to be bought back by the family from whom you bought it.

25 Når din Broder kommer i Trang, så han må sælge noget af sin Ejendom, skal hans nærmeste Slægtning melde sig som Løser for ham og indløse, hvad hans Broder har solgt.

If your fellow Israelite became poor and for that reason sold some of his property, then his nearest relative may come and buy back the property that he sold to you.

26 Hvis en ingen Løser har, men selv bliver i Stand til at skaffe den fornødne Løsesum,

If a man has no relative to redeem his property, but if he has prospered and has the ability to redeem it,

27 skal han udregne, hvor mange År der er gået siden Salget, og kun tilbagebetale Manden der købte det, for den Tid, der er tilbage, og derpå igen overtage sin Ejendom.

then he may calculate the years since the land was sold and repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it. Then he may return to his own property.

28 Er han derimod ikke i Stand til at skaffe den fornødne Sum til Tilbagebetalingen, så skal det, han har solgt, blive i Køberens Eje til Jubelåret; men i Jubelåret bliver det frit, så han atter kan overtage sin Ejendom.

But if he is not able to get the land back for himself, then the land he has sold will remain in the ownership of the one who bought it until the year of Jubilee. At the year of Jubilee, the land will be returned to the man who sold it, and the original owner will return to his property.

29 Når en Mand sælger et Beboelseshus i en By med Mure om, gælder hans Indløsningsret kun et fuldt År efter Salget; hans Indløsningsret gælder et År.

If a man sells a house in a walled city, then he may buy it back within a whole year after it was sold. For a full year he will have the right of redemption.

30 Hvis derfor Indløsning ikke har fundet Sted, før et fuldt År er omme, går Huset i Byen med Mure om uigenkaldeligt over i Køberens og hans Efterkommeres Eje; det bliver ikke frit i Jubelåret.

If the house is not redeemed within a full year, then the house in the walled city will become the permanent property of the buyer and his descendants. It is not to be returned in the year of Jubilee.

31 Derimod henregnes Huse i Landsbyer, der ikke er omgivne af Mure, til Marklandet; for dem gælder Indløsningsretten, og i Jubelåret bliver de fri.

But the houses of the villages that have no wall around them will be considered as the field of the land. They may be redeemed, and they must be returned during the year of Jubilee.

32 Men med Hensyn til Leviternes Byer, Husene i de Byer, der tilhører dem, da gælder der en ubegrænset Indløsningsret for Leviterne;

However, the houses owned by the Levites in their cities may be redeemed at any time.

33 og når en af Leviterne ikke gør sin Indløsningsret gældende, bliver Huset, han solgte, i de Byer, der tilhører dem, frit i Jubelåret, thi Husene i Leviternes Byer er deres Ejendom blandt Israeliterne.

If one of the Levites does not redeem a house he sold, then the house that was sold in the city where it is located must be returned in the year of Jubilee, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their property among the people of Israel.

34 Heller ikke må Græsmarkerne, der hører til deres Byer, sælges, thi de tilhører dem som evigt Eje.

But the fields around their cities may not be sold because they are the permanent property of the Levites.

35 Når din Broder i dit Nabolag kommer i Trang og ikke kan bjærge Livet, skal du holde ham oppe; som fremmed og indvandret skal han leve hos dig.

If your fellow countryman becomes poor, so that he can no longer provide for himself, then you must help him as you would help a foreigner or anyone else living as an outsider among you.

36 Du må ikke tage Rente eller Opgæld af ham, men du skal frygte din Gud og lade din Broder leve hos dig;

Do not charge him interest or try to profit from him in any way, but honor your God so that your brother may keep living with you.

37 du må ikke låne ham Penge mod Renter eller give ham af din Føde mod Opgæld.

You must not give him a loan of money and charge interest, nor sell him your food to earn a profit.

38 Jeg er HERREN eders Gud, som førte eder ud af Ægypten for at give eder Kana'ans Land, for at være eders Gud.

I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, in order that I might give you the land of Canaan, and that I might be your God.

39 Når din Broder i dit Nabolag kommer i Trang og han må sælge sig selv til dig, må du ikke lade ham arbejde som Træl,

If your fellow countryman has become poor and sells himself to you, you must not make him work like a slave.

40 men han skal være hos dig som Daglejer eller indvandret; han skal arbejde hos dig til Jubelåret.

Treat him as a hired servant. He must be like someone living temporarily with you. He will serve with you until the year of Jubilee.

41 Da skal han gives fri sammen med sine Børn og vende tilbage til sin Slægt og sine Fædres Ejendom,

Then he will go away from you, he and his children with him, and he will return to his own family and to his fathers' property.

42 thi mine Trælle er de, som jeg førte ud af Ægypten; de må ikke sælges, som man sælger Trælle.

For they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. They will not be sold as slaves.

43 Du må ikke bruge din Magt over ham med Hårdhed; du skal flygte din Gud.

You must not rule over them harshly, but you must honor your God.

44 Men har du Brug for Trælle og Trælkvinder, skal du købe dem af de Folkeslag, der bor rundt om eder;

As for your male and female slaves, whom you can obtain from the nations who live around you, you may buy slaves from them.

45 også af Børnene efter de indvandrede, der bor som fremmede hos eder, må I købe og af deres Familier, som er hos eder, og som de har avlet i eders Land; de må blive eders Ejendom,

You may also buy slaves from the foreigners who are living among you, that is, from their families who are with you, children who have been born in your land. They may become your property.

46 og dem må I lade gå i Arv og Eje til eders Børn efter eder; dem må I bruge som Trælle på Livstid; men over Israeliterne, eders Brødre, må du ikke bruge din Magt med Hårdhed, Broder over Broder.

You may provide such slaves as an inheritance for your children after you, to hold as property, and make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your brothers among the people of Israel with harshness.

47 Når en fremmed eller en indvandret hos dig kommer til Velstand, og en af dine Brødre i hans Nabolag kommer i Trang, og han må sælge sig til den fremmede eller den indvandrede hos dig eller til en Efterkommer af en fremmeds Slægt,

If a foreigner or someone living temporarily with you has become wealthy, and if one of your fellow Israelites has become poor and sells himself to that foreigner, or to someone in a foreigner's family,

48 så gælder Indløsningsretten for ham efter Salget; en af hans Brødre må indløse ham,

after your fellow Israelite has been bought, he may be bought back. Someone in his family may redeem him.

49 eller også må hans Farbroder eller Fætter eller en anden kødelig Slægtning af hans Familie indløse ham; han må også indløse sig selv, hvis han får Evne dertil.

It might be the person's uncle, or his uncle's son, who redeems him, or anyone who is his close relative from his family. Or, if he has become prosperous, he may redeem himself.

50 Da skal han sammen med den, der købte ham, udregne Tiden fra det År, han solgte sig til ham, til Jubelåret, og Købesummen skal svare til det Åremål; hans Arbejdstid hos ham skal regnes som en Daglejers.

He must bargain with the man who bought him; they must count the years from the year he sold himself to his purchaser until the year of Jubilee. The price of his redemption must be figured in keeping with the rate paid to a hired servant, for the number of years he might continue to work for the one who bought him.

51 Er der endnu mange År tilbage, skal han i Løsesum udrede den tilsvarende Del af Købesummen.

If there are still many years until the year of Jubilee, he must pay back as the price for his redemption an amount of money that is in proportion to the number of those years.

52 Og er der kun få År tilbage til Jubelåret, skal han regne dermed og udrede sin Løsesum i Forhold til de År, han har tilbage.

If there are only a few years to the year of Jubilee, then he must bargain with his purchaser to reflect the number of years left before the year of Jubilee, and he must pay for his redemption in keeping with the number of years.

53 Som en År for År lejet Daglejer skal han være hos ham; du må ikke roligt se på, at Køberen bruger sin Magt over ham med Hårdhed.

He is to be treated like a man hired year by year. You must make sure he is not treated with harshness.

54 Men indløses han ikke på en af disse Måder, skal han frigives i Jubelåret, både han selv og hans Børn.

If he is not redeemed by these means, then he must serve until the year of Jubilee, he and his children with him.

55 Thi mig tilhører Israeliterne som Trælle; mine Trælle er de, thi jeg førte dem ud af Ægypten. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!

To me the people of Israel are servants. They are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.'”
