Deuteronomy 24
1 If a man marries a woman, but she becomes displeasing to him because he finds some indecency in her, he may write her a certificate of divorce, hand it to her, and send her away from 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 If, after leaving his house, she goes and becomes another man’s wife,
saa maa hun efter at have forladt hans Hjem gaa hen og gifte sig med en anden Mand;
3 and the second man hates her, writes her a certificate of divorce, hands it to her, and sends her away from his house, or if he dies,
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 then the husband who divorced her first may not remarry her after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination to the LORD. You must not bring sin upon the land that the LORD your God is giving you as 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 If a man is newly married, he must not be sent to war or be pressed into any duty. For one year he is free to stay at home and bring joy to the wife he has married.
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 Do not take a pair of millstones or even an upper millstone as security for a debt, because that would be taking one’s livelihood as security.
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 caught kidnapping one of his Israelite brothers, whether he treats him as a slave or sells him, the kidnapper must die. So you must purge the evil from among you.
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 In cases of infectious skin diseases, be careful to diligently follow everything the Levitical priests instruct you. Be careful to do as I have commanded them.
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 the LORD your God did to Miriam on the journey after you came out of Egypt.
Kom i Hu, hvad HERREN din Gud gjorde ved Mirjam undervejs, da I drog bort fra Ægypten.
10 When you lend anything to your neighbor, do not enter his house to collect security.
Naar du yder din Næste et Laan, maa du ikke gaa ind i hans Hus for at tage Pant af ham.
11 You are to stand outside while the man to whom you are lending brings the security out to you.
Du skal blive staaende udenfor, og den Mand, du yder Laanet, skal bringe Pantet ud til dig.
12 If he is a poor man, you must not go to sleep with the security in your possession;
Hvis han er en fattig Mand, maa du ikke lægge dig til Hvile med hans Pant;
13 be sure to return it to him by sunset, so that he may sleep in his own cloak and bless you, and this will be credited to you as righteousness before the LORD your 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 Do not oppress a hired hand who is poor and needy, whether he is a brother or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.
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 You are to pay his wages each day before sunset, because he is poor and depends on them. Otherwise he may cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.
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 Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children for their fathers; each is to die 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 Do not deny justice to the foreigner or the fatherless, and do not take a widow’s cloak as security.
Du maa ikke bøje Retten for den fremmede og den faderløse, og du maa ikke tage Enkens Klædning i Pant.
18 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you from that place. Therefore I am commanding you to do this.
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 If you are harvesting in your field and forget a sheaf there, do not go back to get it. It is to be left for the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your 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 you beat the olives from your trees, you must not go over the branches again. What remains will be for the foreigner, the fatherless, and 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 you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you must not go over the vines again. What remains will be for the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow.
Naar du høster din Vin, maa du ikke holde Efterhøst; den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken skal det tilfalde.
22 Remember that you were slaves in the land of Egypt. Therefore I am commanding you to do this.
Kom i Hu, at du selv var Træl i Ægypten; derfor byder jeg dig at handle saaledes.
