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.
Når 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,
så må hun efter at have forladt hans Hjem gå 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,
får denne anden Mand også 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.
så 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 må 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.
Når en Mand nylig har taget sig en Hustru, skal han ikke drage med i Krig, og der skal ikke pålægges ham nogen som helst Forpligtelse; han skal have Frihed til at blive hjemme et År 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 må ikke tage en Håndkværn 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.
Når nogen gribes i at stjæle en af sine Brødre blandt Israelitterne og gør ham Fortræd eller sælger ham, da skal en sådan 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, så du meget omhyggeligt handler efter alt, hvad Levitpræsterne lærer eder; som jeg har påbudt 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.
Når du yder din Næste et Lån, må du ikke gå 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 stående udenfor, og den Mand, du yder Lånet, 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, må 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 står retfærdiggjort for HERREN din Guds Åsyn.
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 må 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, så at Solen ikke går ned derover, thi han er nødlidende og venter med Længsel derpå. Ellers råber han til HERREN over dig, og du pådrager 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 må ikke bøje Retten for den fremmede og den faderløse, og du må 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 således.
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.
Når du bjærger din Høst på din Mark og glemmer et Neg på Marken, må 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.
Når du slår dine Oliven ned, må 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.
Når du høster din Vin, må 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 således.
