Deuteronomy 14
1 Ye are the sons of Jehovah your God. Ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
HERREN eders Guds Børn er I, derfor maa I ikke indridse Mærker paa eder eller afrage Haaret over Panden for de dødes Skyld.
2 For thou are a holy people to Jehovah thy God, and Jehovah has chosen thee to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.
Thi du er et Folk, der er helliget HERREN din Gud, og dig har HERREN udvalgt til at være hans Ejendomsfolk blandt alle Folk paa Jorden.
3 Thou shall not eat any abominable thing.
Du maa ikke spise noget, som er en Vederstyggelighed.
4 These are the beasts which ye may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
De Dyr, I maa spise, er følgende: Okser, Faar og Geder,
5 the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the chamois.
Hjorte, Gazeller, Antiloper, Stenbukke, Disjonantiloper, Oryksantiloper og Vildgeder.
6 And every beast that parts the hoof, and has the hoof cloven in two, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.
Og alt det Kvæg, som har spaltede Klove, begge Klove helt spaltede, og tygger Drøv, det Kvæg maa I spise.
7 Nevertheless of those that chew the cud, or of those that have the hoof cloven, these ye shall not eat: the camel, and the hare, and the coney, because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, they are unclean to you,
Men følgende maa I ikke spise af dem, der tygger Drøv, og af dem, der har Klovene helt spaltede: Kamelen, Haren og Klippegrævlingen, thi de tygger vel Drøv, men har ikke Klove; de skal være eder urene;
8 and the swine, because he parts the hoof but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you. Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch.
ej heller Svinet, thi det har vel Klove, men tygger ikke Drøv; det skal være eder urent. Deres Kød maa I ikke spise, og ved deres Aadsler maa I ikke røre.
9 These ye may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales ye may eat.
Af alt, hvad der lever i Vandet, maa I spise følgende: Alt, hvad der har Finner og Skæl, maa I spise.
10 And whatever does not have fins and scales ye shall not eat; it is unclean to you.
Men intet, der ikke har Finner og Skæl, maa I spise; det skal være eder urent.
11 Of all clean birds ye may eat,
Alle rene Fugle maa I spise.
12 but these are those of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey,
Men følgende Fugle maa I ikke spise: Ørnen, Lammegribben, Havørnen,
13 and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite according to its kind,
Glenten, de forskellige Arter af Falke,
14 and every raven after its kind,
alle de forskellige Arter af Ravne,
15 and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-gull, and the hawk according to its kind,
Strudsen, Takmasfuglen, Maagen, de forskellige Arter af Høge,
16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl,
Uglen, Hornuglen, Tinsjemetfuglen,
17 and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant,
Pelikanen, Aadselgribben, Fiskepelikanen,
18 and the stork, and the heron according to its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
Storken, de forskellige Arter af Hejrer, Hærfuglen og Flagermusen.
19 And all winged creeping things are unclean to you. They shall not be eaten.
Alt vinget Kryb skal være eder urent og maa ikke spises.
20 Of all clean birds ye may eat.
Men alle rene Fugle maa I spise.
21 Ye shall not eat of anything that dies of itself. Thou may give it to the sojourner who is within thy gates, that he may eat it, or thou may sell it to a foreigner, for thou are a holy people to Jehovah thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
I maa ikke spise noget selvdødt Dyr. Du kan give det til den fremmede inden dine Porte, at han kan spise det, eller du kan sælge det til en Udlænding. Thi du er et Folk, der er helliget HERREN din Gud. Du maa ikke koge et Kid i dets Moders Mælk.
22 Thou shall surely tithe all the increase of thy seed; that which comes forth from the field year by year.
Du skal give Tiende af al din Afgrøde, der vokser paa Marken, Aar for Aar;
23 And thou shall eat before Jehovah thy God, in the place which he shall choose to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy grain, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock, that thou may learn to fear Jehovah thy God always.
og for HERREN din Guds Aasyn, paa det Sted, han udvælger til Bolig for sit Navn, skal du nyde Tienden af dit Korn, din Most og din Olie og de førstefødte af dit Hornkvæg og Smaakvæg, for at du kan lære at frygte HERREN din Gud alle Dage.
24 And if the way is too long for thee, so that thou are not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which Jehovah thy God shall choose to set his name there when Jehovah thy God shall bless thee,
Men naar Vejen er dig for lang, saa du ikke kan bringe det derhen, eftersom det Sted, HERREN din Gud udvælger for der at stedfæste sit Navn, ligger for langt borte fra dig, fordi HERREN din Gud velsigner dig,
25 then thou shall turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shall go to the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose.
saa skal du gøre det i Penge og pakke Pengene ind og tage dem med og drage til det Sted, HERREN din Gud udvælger,
26 And thou shall bestow the money for whatever thy soul desires, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever thy soul asks of thee. And thou shall eat there before Jehovah thy God, and thou shall rejoice, thou and thy household.
og du skal for Pengene købe alt, hvad dit Hjerte begærer, Hornkvæg og Smaakvæg, Vin og stærk Drik og alt, hvad du har Lyst til, og nyde det der for HERREN din Guds Aasyn og være glad sammen med din Husstand.
27 And the Levite who is within thy gates, thou shall not forsake him, for he has no portion nor inheritance with thee.
Og Leviten inden dine Porte maa du ikke glemme; thi han har ikke Arvelod og Del som du.
28 At the end of every three years thou shall bring forth all the tithe of thine increase in the same year, and shall lay it up within thy gates.
Men hver Gang der er gaaet tre Aar, skal du tage al Tienden af din Afgrøde i det Aar og samle den inden dine Porte,
29 And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with thee, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied, that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou do.
saa at Leviten, der jo ikke har Arvelod og Del som du, og den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken inden dine Porte kan komme og spise sig mæt deraf; det skal du gøre, for at HERREN din Gud maa velsigne dig i al den Gerning, du tager dig for.
