Leviticus 20

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

2 “Tell the Israelites, ‘Any Israelite or foreigner living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death. The people of the land are to stone him.

Sig til Israeliterne: Om nogen af Israeliterne eller de fremmede, der bor hos Israel, giver sit Afkom hen til Molok, da skal han lide Døden; Landets Indbyggere skal stene ham,

3 And I will set My face against that man and cut him off from his people, because by giving his offspring to Molech, he has defiled My sanctuary and profaned My holy name.

og jeg vender selv mit Aasyn imod den Mand og udrydder ham af hans Folk, fordi han gav sit Afkom hen til Molok for at gøre min Helligdom uren og vanhellige mit hellige Navn;

4 And if the people of the land ever hide their eyes and fail to put to death the man who gives one of his children to Molech,

og ser end Landets Indbyggere igennem Fingre med den Mand, naar han giver sit Afkom hen til Molok, og undlader at dræbe ham,

5 then I will set My face against that man and his family and cut off from among their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves with Molech.

saa vender jeg dog selv mit Aasyn imod den Mand og hans Slægt og udrydder ham og alle dem, der følger i hans Spor og boler med Molok, af deres Folk.

6 Whoever turns to mediums or spiritists to prostitute himself with them, I will also set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.

Det Menneske, som henvender sig til Genfærd eller Sandsigeraander og boler med dem, mod det Menneske vil jeg vende mit Aasyn og udrydde ham af hans Folk.

7 Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am the LORD your God.

Helliger eder og vær hellige; thi jeg er HERREN eders Gud!

8 And you shall keep My statutes and practice them. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.

Hold mine Anordninger og gør efter dem. Jeg er HERREN, som helliger eder!

9 If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or mother; his blood shall be upon him.

Thi enhver, som forbander sin Fader og sin Moder, skal lide Døden; han har forbandet sin Fader og sin Moder, derfor hviler der Blodskyld paa ham.

10 If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must surely be put to death.

Om nogen bedriver Hor med en anden Mands Hustru, om nogen bedriver Hor med sin Næstes Hustru, da skal de lide Døden, Horkarlen saavel som Horkvinden.

11 If a man lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

Om nogen har Samleje med sin Faders Hustru, har han blottet sin Faders Blusel; de skal begge lide Døden, der hviler Blodskyld paa dem.

12 If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both must surely be put to death. They have acted perversely; their blood is upon them.

Om nogen har Samleje med sin Sønnekone, skal de begge lide Døden; de har øvet Skændselsdaad, der hviler Blodskyld paa dem.

13 If a man lies with a man as with a woman, they have both committed an abomination. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

Om nogen ligger hos en Mand, paa samme Maade som man ligger hos en Kvinde, da har de begge øvet en Vederstyggelighed; de skal lide Døden, der hviler Blodskyld paa dem.

14 If a man marries both a woman and her mother, it is depraved. Both he and they must be burned in the fire, so that there will be no depravity among you.

Om nogen ægter en Kvinde og hendes Moder, er det grov Utugt: man skal brænde baade ham og begge Kvinderne; der maa ikke findes grov Utugt iblandt eder.

15 If a man lies carnally with an animal, he must be put to death. And you are also to kill the animal.

Om nogen har Omgang med et Dyr, skal han lide Døden, og Dyret skal I slaa ihjel.

16 If a woman approaches any animal to mate with it, you must kill both the woman and the animal. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

Om en Kvinde kommer noget Dyr nær for at have kønslig Omgang med det, da skal du ihjelslaa baade Kvinden og Dyret; de skal lide Døden, der hviler Blodskyld paa dem.

17 If a man marries his sister, whether the daughter of his father or of his mother, and they have sexual relations, it is a disgrace. They must be cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered the nakedness of his sister; he shall bear his iniquity.

Om en Mand tager sin Søster, sin Faders eller sin Moders Datter, til Ægte, saa han ser hendes Blusel, og hun hans, da er det en skammelig Gerning; de skal udryddes i deres Landsmænds Paasyn; han har blottet sin Søsters Blusel, han skal undgælde for sin Brøde.

18 If a man lies with a menstruating woman and has sexual relations with her, he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has uncovered the source of her blood. Both of them must be cut off from among their people.

Om en Mand har Samleje med en Kvinde under hendes maanedlige Svaghed og blotter hendes Blusel, idet han afdækker hendes Kilde, og hun afdækker sit Blods Kilde, da skal de begge udryddes af deres Folk.

19 You must not have sexual relations with the sister of your mother or your father, for it is exposing one’s own kin; both shall bear their iniquity.

Du maa ikke blotte din Mosters og din Fasters Blusel, thi den, der gør det, afdækker sin kødelige Slægtnings Blusel; de skal undgælde for deres Brøde.

20 If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered the nakedness of his uncle. They will bear their sin; they shall die childless.

Om nogen har Samleje med sin Farbroders Hustru, da har han blottet sin Farbroders Blusel, de skal undgælde for deres Synd og dø barnløse.

21 If a man marries his brother’s wife, it is an act of impurity. He has uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they shall be childless.

Om nogen tager sin Broders Hustru til Ægte, da er det en uren Gerning; han har blottet sin Broders Blusel; de skal blive barnløse.

22 You are therefore to keep all My statutes and ordinances, so that the land where I am bringing you to live will not vomit you out.

Hold alle mine Anordninger og Lovbud og gør efter dem, at ikke Landet, jeg føler eder ind at bo i, skal udspy eder.

23 You must not follow the statutes of the nations I am driving out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.

Følg ikke det Folks Skikke, som jeg driver bort foran eder, thi de har øvet alt dette; derfor væmmedes jeg ved dem

24 But I have told you that you will inherit their land, since I will give it to you as an inheritance—a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the LORD your God, who has set you apart from the peoples.

og sagde til eder: I skal faa deres Land i Eje; jeg giver eder det i Eje, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud, som har udskilt eder fra alle andre Folkeslag.

25 You are therefore to distinguish between clean and unclean animals and birds. Do not become contaminated by any animal or bird, or by anything that crawls on the ground; I have set these apart as unclean for you.

I skal skelne mellem rene og urene Dyr og mellem urene og rene Fugle for ikke at gøre eder selv til en Vederstyggelighed ved de Dyr og de Fugle og alt, hvad der rører sig paa Jorden, alt, hvad jeg har udskilt for eder og erklæret for urent.

26 You are to be holy to Me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be My own.

Og I skal være mig hellige, thi jeg HERREN er hellig, og jeg har udskilt eder fra alle andre Folkeslag til at høre mig til.

27 A man or a woman who is a medium or spiritist must surely be put to death. They shall be stoned; their blood is upon them.’”

Naar der i en Mand eller Kvinde er en Genfærdsaand eller en Sandsigeraand, skal de lide Døden; de skal stenes, der hviler Blodskyld paa dem.
