Deuteronomy 24
1 When a man takes a wife, and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favor in his eyes, because he has found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Naar en Mand tager en Kvinde til Ægte, og hun ikke vinder hans Yndest, fordi han finder noget ved hende, der vækker Ubehag hos ham, og han skriver hende et Skilsmissebrev og giver hende det i Hænde og sender hende ud af sit Hjem,
2 And when she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's.
saa maa hun efter at have forladt hans Hjem gaa hen og gifte sig med en anden Mand;
3 And if the latter husband dislikes her, and writes her a bill of divorcement, and gives it in her hand, and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies, who took her to be his wife,
faar denne anden Mand ogsaa Uvilje imod hende og skriver hende et Skilsmissebrev og giver hende det i Hænde og sender hende ud af sit Hjem, eller dør den anden Mand, der havde taget hende til Ægte,
4 her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife after she is defiled. For that is abomination before Jehovah, and thou shall not cause the land to sin, which Jehovah thy God gives thee for an inheritance.
saa har hendes første Mand, som havde sendt hende bort, ikke Ret til igen at tage hende til Hustru, efter at hun er blevet uren. Thi det er HERREN en Vederstyggelighed, og du maa ikke bringe Brøde over det Land, HERREN din Gud vil give dig i Eje.
5 When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out in the army, neither shall he be charged with any business. He shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.
Naar en Mand nylig har taget sig en Hustru, skal han ikke drage med i Krig, og der skal ikke paalægges ham nogen som helst Forpligtelse; han skal have Frihed til at blive hjemme et Aar og glæde sin Hustru, som han har ægtet.
6 No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone to pledge, for he takes life to pledge.
Man maa ikke tage en Haandkværn i Pant, heller ikke den øverste Møllesten; thi det var at tage Livet selv i Pant.
7 If a man is found stealing any of his brothers of the sons of Israel, and he deals with him harshly, or sells him, then that thief shall die. So shall thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.
Naar nogen gribes i at stjæle en af sine Brødre blandt Israeliterne og gør ham Fortræd eller sælger ham, da skal en saadan Tyv lade sit Liv. Du skal udrydde det onde af din Midte.
8 Take heed in the disease of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you. As I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.
Tag dig i Vare med Spedalskhed, saa du meget omhyggeligt handler efter alt, hvad Levitpræsterne lærer eder; som jeg har paabudt dem, skal I omhyggeligt handle.
9 Remember what Jehovah thy God did to Miriam by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt.
Kom i Hu, hvad HERREN din Gud gjorde ved Mirjam undervejs, da I drog bort fra Ægypten.
10 When thou do lend thy neighbor any manner of loan, thou shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
Naar du yder din Næste et Laan, maa du ikke gaa ind i hans Hus for at tage Pant af ham.
11 Thou shall stand outside, and the man to whom thou lend shall bring forth the pledge outside to thee.
Du skal blive staaende udenfor, og den Mand, du yder Laanet, skal bringe Pantet ud til dig.
12 And if he is a poor man, thou shall not sleep with his pledge.
Hvis han er en fattig Mand, maa du ikke lægge dig til Hvile med hans Pant;
13 Thou shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless thee. And it shall be righteousness to thee before Jehovah thy God.
ved Solnedgang skal du give ham Pantet tilbage, for at han kan lægge sig til Hvile i sin Kappe. Da velsigner han dig derfor, og du staar retfærdiggjort for HERREN din Guds Aasyn.
14 Thou shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brothers, or of thy sojourners that are in thy land within thy gates.
Du maa ikke forurette en nødlidende, fattig Daglejer, hvad enten han hører til dine Brødre eller de fremmede inden dine Porte nogetsteds i dit Land.
15 Thou shall give him his hire in his day, neither shall the sun go down upon it, for he is poor, and sets his heart upon it, lest he cry against thee to Jehovah, and it be sin to thee.
Dag for Dag skal du give ham hans Løn, saa at Solen ikke gaar ned derover, thi han er nødlidende og venter med Længsel derpaa. Ellers raaber han til HERREN over dig, og du paadrager dig Skyld.
16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, neither shall the sons be put to death for the fathers. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
Fædre skal ikke lide Døden for Børns Skyld, og Børn skal ikke lide Døden for Fædres Skyld. Enhver skal lide Døden for sin egen Synd.
17 Thou shall not distort the justice due to the sojourner, or to the fatherless, nor take the widow's raiment to pledge,
Du maa ikke bøje Retten for den fremmede og den faderløse, og du maa ikke tage Enkens Klædning i Pant.
18 but thou shall remember that thou were a bondman in Egypt, and Jehovah thy God redeemed thee from there. Therefore I command thee to do this thing.
Men kom i Hu, at du var Træl i Ægypten, og at HERREN din Gud udløste dig derfra. Derfor byder jeg dig at handle saaledes.
19 When thou reap thy harvest in thy field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, thou shall not go again to fetch it. It shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands.
Naar du bjærger din Høst paa din Mark og glemmer et Neg paa Marken, maa du ikke vende tilbage for at hente det; det skal tilfalde den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken, for at HERREN din Gud kan velsigne dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for.
20 When thou beat thine olive tree, thou shall not go over the boughs again. It shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Naar du slaar dine Oliven ned, maa du ikke bagefter gennemsøge Grenene; den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken skal det tilfalde.
21 When thou gather of thy vineyard, thou shall not glean it behind thee. It shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Naar du høster din Vin, maa du ikke holde Efterhøst; den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken skal det tilfalde.
22 And thou shall remember that thou were a bondman in the land of Egypt. Therefore I command thee to do this thing.
Kom i Hu, at du selv var Træl i Ægypten; derfor byder jeg dig at handle saaledes.
