4 Mosebog 5
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 Byd Israeliterne at fjerne alle spedalske fra Lejren, alle, der lider af Flåd, og alle, der er blevet urene ved Lig;
“Command the Israelites to send away from the camp anyone with a skin disease, anyone who has a bodily discharge, and anyone who is defiled by a dead body.
3 både Mænd og Kvinder skal I fjerne og føre uden for Lejren, for at de ikke skal gøre deres Lejr uren, hvor jeg bor midt iblandt dem.
You must send away male and female alike; send them outside the camp so they will not defile their camp, where I dwell among them.”
4 Det gjorde Israeliterne så; de førte dem uden for Lejren, således som HERREN havde pålagt Moses.
So the Israelites did this, sending such people outside the camp. They did just as the LORD had instructed Moses.
5 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
And the LORD said to Moses,
6 Sig til Israeliterne: Når en Mand eller Kvinde begår nogen af alle de Synder, som Mennesker begår, således at han gør sig skyldig i Svig mod HERREN, og det Menneske derved pådrager sig Skyld,
“Tell the Israelites that when a man or woman acts unfaithfully against the LORD by committing any sin against another, that person is guilty
7 så skal de bekende Synden, de har begået, og Gerningsmanden skal erstatte det, han har forbrudt sig med, efter dets fulde Værdi med Tillæg af en Femtedel og give det til den, han har forbrudt sig imod.
and must confess the sin he has committed. He must make full restitution, add a fifth to its value, and give all this to the one he has wronged.
8 Og hvis denne ikke har efterladt sig nogen Løser, hvem han kan yde Erstatningen, så skal Erstatningen, som ydes, tilfalde HERREN, det vil sige Præsten, foruden den Soningsvæder, ved hvilken der skaffes ham Soning.
But if the man has no relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the LORD and must be given to the priest along with the ram of atonement, by which the atonement is made for him.
9 Al Offerydelse, alle Helliggaver, som Israeliterne frembærer til Præsten, skal tilfalde ham.
Every sacred contribution the Israelites bring to the priest shall belong to him.
10 Alle Helliggaver skal tilfalde ham; hvad nogen giver Præsten, skal tilfalde ham.
Each man’s sacred gifts are his own, but whatever he gives to the priest will belong to the priest.”
11 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
12 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Når en Hustru forser sig imod sin Mand og er ham utro,
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them that if any man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him
13 idet en anden Mand har Samleje med hende, uden at det er kommet til hendes Mands Kundskab, og uden at det er blevet opdaget, skønt hun har besmittet sig, og uden at der er noget Vidne imod hende, da hun ikke er grebet på fersk Gerning,
by sleeping with another man, and it is concealed from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she was not caught in the act),
14 og han gribes af Skinsygens Ånd, så han bliver skinsyg på sin Hustru, som også i Virkeligheden har besmittet sig, eller han gribes af Skinsygens Ånd, så han bliver skinsyg på sin Hustru, skønt hun ikke har besmittet sig,
and if a feeling of jealousy comes over her husband and he suspects his wife who has defiled herself—or if a feeling of jealousy comes over him and he suspects her even though she has not defiled herself—
15 så skal Manden bringe sin Hustru til Præsten og medbringe som Offergave for hende en Tiendedel Efa Bygmel; han må hverken hælde Olie over eller komme Røgelse på, thi det er et Skinsyge Afgrødeoffer, et Minde Afgrødeoffer, der skal minde om Brøde.
then he is to bring his wife to the priest. He must also bring for her an offering of a tenth of an ephah of barley flour. He is not to pour oil over it or put frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, an offering of memorial as a reminder of iniquity.
16 Så skal Præsten føre hende frem og stille hende for HERRENs Åsyn.
The priest is to bring the wife forward and have her stand before the LORD.
17 Og Præsten skal tage helligt Vand i et Lerkar, og af Støvet på Boligens Gulv skal Præsten tage noget og komme i Vandet.
Then he is to take some holy water in a clay jar and put some of the dust from the tabernacle floor into the water.
18 Så skal Præsten stille Kvinden frem for HERRENs Åsyn, løse hendes Hår og lægge Minde Afgrødeofferet i hendes Hænder; det er et Skinsyge Afgrødeoffer; og Præsten skal have den bitre Vandes Forbandelsesvand i Hånden.
After the priest has the woman stand before the LORD, he is to let down her hair and place in her hands the grain offering of memorial, which is the grain offering for jealousy. The priest is to hold the bitter water that brings a curse.
19 Derpå skal Præsten besværge Kvinden og sige til hende: "Hvis ingen har haft Samleje med dig, hvis du ikke har forset dig imod din Mand og besmittet dig, så skal dette den bitre Vandes Forbandelsesvand ikke skade dig.
And he is to put the woman under oath and say to her, ‘If no other man has slept with you and you have not gone astray and become defiled while under your husband’s authority, may you be immune to this bitter water that brings a curse.
20 Men har du forset dig imod din Mand og besmittet dig, og har en anden end din Mand haft Samleje med dig"
But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority and have defiled yourself and lain carnally with a man other than your husband’—
21 Præsten besværger nu kvinden med Forbandelsens Ed og siger til hende "så gøre HERREN dig til en Forbandelse og Besværgelse i dit Folk, idet han lader din Lænd visne og din Bug svulme op;
and the priest shall have the woman swear under the oath of the curse—‘then may the LORD make you an attested curse among your people by making your thigh shrivel and your belly swell.
22 Forbandelsesvandet her komme ind i dine Indvolde, så din Bug svulmer op og din Lænd visner!" Og kvinden skal sige: "Amen, Amen!"
May this water that brings a curse enter your stomach and cause your belly to swell and your thigh to shrivel.’ Then the woman is to say, ‘Amen, Amen.’
23 Derpå skal Præsten skrive disse Forbandelser op på et Blad og vaske dem ud i den bitre Vandes Vand
And the priest shall write these curses on a scroll and wash them off into the bitter water.
24 og give Kvinden den bitre Vandes Forbandelsesvand at drikke, for at Forbandelsesvandet kan komme ind i hende til bitter Vånde.
He is to have the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and it will enter her and cause her bitter suffering.
25 Derefter skal Præsten tage Skinsyge Afgrødeofferet af Kvindens Hånd, udføre Svingningen dermed for HERRENs Åsyn og bære det hen til Alteret.
The priest shall take from her hand the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the LORD, and bring it to the altar.
26 Og Præsten skal tage en Håndfuld af Afgrødeofferet, det, som skal ofres deraf, og bringe det som Røgoffer på Alteret og derpå give Kvinden Vandet at drikke.
Then the priest is to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar; after that he is to have the woman drink the water.
27 Når han har givet hende Vandet at drikke, vil Forbandelsesvandet, dersom hun har besmittet sig og været sin Mand utro, blive til bitter Vånde, når det kommer ind i hende, hendes Bug vil svulme op og hendes Lænd visne, og Kvinden bliver en Forbandelse i sit Folk.
When he has made her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, then the water that brings a curse will enter her and cause bitter suffering; her belly will swell, her thigh will shrivel, and she will become accursed among her people.
28 Men dersom Kvinden ikke har besmittet sig, dersom hun er ren, bliver hun uskadt og kan få Børn.
But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will be unaffected and able to conceive children.
29 Det er Loven om Skinsyge; når en Hustru forser sig imod sin Mand og besmittes,
This is the law of jealousy when a wife goes astray and defiles herself while under her husband’s authority,
30 eller når en Mand gribes af Skinsygens Ånd og bliver skinsyg på sin Hustru, så skal han fremstille Hustruen for HERRENs Åsyn, og Præsten skal handle med hende efter alt i denne Lov;
or when a feeling of jealousy comes over a husband and he suspects his wife. He is to have the woman stand before the LORD, and the priest is to apply to her this entire law.
31 Manden skal være sagesløs, men sådan en Hustru skal undgælde for sin Brøde.
The husband will be free from guilt, but the woman shall bear her iniquity.”
