4 Mosebog 5
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
The Lord told Moses,
2 Byd Israeliterne at fjerne alle spedalske fra Lejren, alle, der lider af Flåd, og alle, der er blevet urene ved Lig;
“Order the Israelites to expel from the camp anyone who has a skin disease, or who has a discharge, or who is unclean from touching 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.
Whether male or female, you must expel them so they won't make their camp unclean, for that is where I live with them.”
4 Det gjorde Israeliterne så; de førte dem uden for Lejren, således som HERREN havde pålagt Moses.
The Israelites followed these instructions, and expelled such people from the camp. They did what the Lord had told Moses they should do.
5 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
The Lord told 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 is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning against someone else, they are 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 their sin. They have to pay the full amount of compensation plus one fifth of its value, and give this to the person they have 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.
However, if that person doesn't have a relative who can be paid the compensation, it belongs to the Lord and shall be given to the priest, together with a sacrificial ram by which the guilty person is set right.
9 Al Offerydelse, alle Helliggaver, som Israeliterne frembærer til Præsten, skal tilfalde ham.
All holy offerings that the Israelites bring to the priest belong to him.
10 Alle Helliggaver skal tilfalde ham; hvad nogen giver Præsten, skal tilfalde ham.
Your holy offerings belong to you, but once you give them to the priest they belong to him.”
11 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
The Lord told Moses,
12 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Når en Hustru forser sig imod sin Mand og er ham utro,
“Tell the Israelites that these are the instructions to follow if a man's wife has an affair, being 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 someone else. It may be that her husband doesn't find out and her unclean act wasn't witnessed—she wasn't caught out.
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,
But if her husband becomes jealous and suspicious of his wife, whether she's guilty or not,
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 is to take her before the priest. He is also to take with him on her behalf an offering of one tenth of an ephath of barley flour. He must also bring for her an offering of an ephah of barley flour. He's not to pour olive oil over it or put frankincense on it, since it's a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder offering to remind people about sin.
16 Så skal Præsten føre hende frem og stille hende for HERRENs Åsyn.
The priest is to lead 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 shall fill a clay jar with holy water in a clay jar and sprinkle on it some dust from the floor of the Tabernacle.
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.
Once the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall let her hair loose and have her hold the reminder grain offering—the grain offering used in cases of jealousy. The priest shall hold the bitter water that curses.
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.
He shall place the woman under oath and tell her, ‘If no one else has slept with you and you have not been unfaithful and become unclean while married to your husband, may you not be harmed by this bitter water that curses.
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 been unfaithful while married to your husband and have become unclean and have had sex with someone else…”
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;
(Here the priest shall place the woman under the oath of the curse as follows.) “May the Lord place a curse on you that everyone knows about by having your thighs shrink and your belly swell up.
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 curses go into your stomach and make your belly swell up and your thighs shrink.” The woman is to answer, “I agree, I agree.”
23 Derpå skal Præsten skrive disse Forbandelser op på et Blad og vaske dem ud i den bitre Vandes Vand
The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then 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 shall make the woman drink the bitter water that curses, and it will cause her bitter pain if she is guilty.
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 back from her the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord, and take 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 shall take a handful of the grain offering as a reminder portion and burn it on the altar, and make 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.
After he has made her drink the water, if she has made herself unclean and has been unfaithful to her husband, then the water that curses will cause her bitter pain. Her belly will swell up and her thighs will shrink. She will become a cursed woman 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 made herself unclean by being unfaithful and is clean, she will not experience this punishment and she will still be able to have children.
29 Det er Loven om Skinsyge; når en Hustru forser sig imod sin Mand og besmittes,
This is the rule to follow in cases of jealousy when a wife has an affair and makes herself unclean while married to her husband,
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 husband starts feeling jealous and becomes suspicious of his wife. He shall have his wife stand before the Lord, and the priest is to carry out every part of this rule.
31 Manden skal være sagesløs, men sådan en Hustru skal undgælde for sin Brøde.
If she is found guilty, her husband will not be held responsible. But the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.
