4 Mosebog 5
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Byd Israeliterne at fjerne alle spedalske fra Lejren, alle, der lider af Flåd, og alle, der er blevet urene ved Lig;
“Instruct the sons of Israel to cast out of the camp every leper, and those who have a flow of seed, and those who have been polluted because of the dead;
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.
cast out of the camp both male and female, lest they contaminate it while I am dwelling with you.”
4 Det gjorde Israeliterne så; de førte dem uden for Lejren, således som HERREN havde pålagt Moses.
And the sons of Israel did so, and they cast them out, beyond the camp, just as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
5 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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,
“Say to the sons of Israel: A man or a woman, when they have done anything out of all the sins that often befall men, or if, by negligence, they have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and so have committed an offense,
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.
they shall confess their sin, and they shall restore the principle itself, plus a fifth part above it, to any against whom they have sinned.
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 there would be no one to receive it, they shall give it to the Lord, and it shall be for the priest, except for the ram, which is offered for expiation, in order to be a pleasing victim.
9 Al Offerydelse, alle Helliggaver, som Israeliterne frembærer til Præsten, skal tilfalde ham.
Likewise, all the first-fruits, which the sons of Israel offer, belong to the priest,
10 Alle Helliggaver skal tilfalde ham; hvad nogen giver Præsten, skal tilfalde ham.
with whatever is offered by each one at the Sanctuary, and which is delivered into the hands of the priest; it shall be his.”
11 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Når en Hustru forser sig imod sin Mand og er ham utro,
“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man whose wife will have gone astray, and, disdaining her husband,
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,
will have slept with another man, and if her husband cannot discover it, but the adultery is secret, and if it cannot be proved by witnesses, because she was not caught in the shameful 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,
if the spirit of jealousy stirs up the husband against his wife, who either has been polluted or is being assailed with a false suspicion,
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.
he shall bring her to the priest, and he shall offer an oblation for her, a tenth part of native barley meal. He shall not pour oil over it, nor shall he place frankincense on it, because it is a sacrifice for jealousy, or an oblation investigating adultery.
16 Så skal Præsten føre hende frem og stille hende for HERRENs Åsyn.
Therefore, the priest shall offer it, and he shall set it in the sight of 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.
And he shall take up holy water in an earthen vessel, and he shall cast a little earth from the pavement of the tabernacle into it.
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.
And while the woman stands before the Lord, he shall uncover her head, and he shall place over her hands the sacrifice of recollection and oblation of jealousy. But he shall take hold of the most bitter waters, in which he has gathered curses with loathing.
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 shall bind her by an oath, and he shall say: ‘If another man has not slept with you, and if you have not been polluted by forsaking the bed of your husband, these most bitter waters, into which I have gathered curses, shall not harm you.
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 turned away from your husband, and also have been defiled, and have lain together with another man,
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;
these curses shall be thrown upon you: May the Lord turn you into a curse and an example among all his people. May he cause your thigh to rot, and may your abdomen swell up and burst out.
22 Forbandelsesvandet her komme ind i dine Indvolde, så din Bug svulmer op og din Lænd visner!" Og kvinden skal sige: "Amen, Amen!"
May the cursed waters enter into your stomach, and may your womb swell and your thigh rot.’ And the woman shall respond: ‘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 in a little book, and then he shall erase them with the very bitter waters, into which he had gathered the curses,
24 og give Kvinden den bitre Vandes Forbandelsesvand at drikke, for at Forbandelsesvandet kan komme ind i hende til bitter Vånde.
and he shall give it to her to drink. And when she has emptied it,
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 sacrifice of jealousy, and he shall elevate it before the Lord, and he shall impose it upon the altar. Yet only after he first
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.
takes a handful of the sacrifice from that which is offered, and burns it upon the altar, and then he may give the most bitter waters to the woman as a drink.
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.
And when she drinks it, if she has been defiled, and, having despised her husband, is guilty of adultery, the curse shall pass through her, and as her belly swells up, her thigh shall decay, and the woman shall become a curse and an example to all the people.
28 Men dersom Kvinden ikke har besmittet sig, dersom hun er ren, bliver hun uskadt og kan få Børn.
But if she has not been defiled, she shall be unharmed and she shall bear children.
29 Det er Loven om Skinsyge; når en Hustru forser sig imod sin Mand og besmittes,
This is the law for jealousy. If a woman has turned aside from her husband, and if she has been polluted,
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;
and if the husband, being stirred up by the spirit of jealousy, has brought her before the sight of the Lord, and the priest has acted toward her according to all that has been written:
31 Manden skal være sagesløs, men sådan en Hustru skal undgælde for sin Brøde.
then the husband shall be without guilt, and she shall bear her iniquity.”
