< Leviticus 25 >

1 Then the LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
Og HERREN talede til Moses paa Sinaj Bjerg og sagde:
2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land that I am giving you, the land itself must observe a Sabbath to the LORD.
Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Naar I kommer til det Land, jeg vil give eder, skal Landet holde Sabbatshvile for. HERREN.
3 For six years you may sow your field and prune your vineyard and gather its crops.
Seks Aar skal du besaa din Mark, og seks Aar skal du beskære din Vingaard og indsamle Landets Afgrøde;
4 But in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land—a Sabbath to the LORD. You are not to sow your field or prune your vineyard.
men i det syvende Aar skal Landet have en fuldkommen Sabbatshvile, en Sabbat for HERREN; din Mark maa du ikke besaa, og din Vingaard maa du ikke beskære.
5 You are not to reap the aftergrowth of your harvest or gather the grapes of your untended vines. The land must have a year of complete rest.
Det selvgroede efter din Høst maa du ikke høste, og Druerne paa de ubeskaarne Vinstokke maa du ikke plukke; det skal være et Sabbatsaar for Landet.
6 Whatever the land yields during the Sabbath year shall be food for you—for yourself, your manservant and maidservant, the hired hand or foreigner who stays with you,
Hvad der gror af sig selv, medens Landet holder Sabbat, skal tjene eder til Føde, dig selv, din Træl og din Trælkvinde, din Daglejer og den indvandrede hos dig, dem, der bor som fremmede hos dig;
7 and for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. All its growth may serve as food.
dit Kvæg og de vilde Dyr i dit Land skal hele Afgrøden tjene til Føde.
8 And you shall count off seven Sabbaths of years—seven times seven years—so that the seven Sabbaths of years amount to forty-nine years.
Og du skal tælle dig syv Aarsabbater frem, syv Gange syv Aar, saa de syv Aarsabbater udgør et Tidsrum af ni og fyrretyve Aar.
9 Then you are to sound the horn far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month, the Day of Atonement. You shall sound it throughout your land.
Saa skal du lade Alarmhornet lyde rundt om paa den tiende Dag i den syvende Maaned; paa Forsoningsdagen skal I lade Hornet lyde rundt om i hele eders Land.
10 So you are to consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty in the land for all its inhabitants. It shall be your Jubilee, when each of you is to return to his property and to his clan.
Og I skal hellige det halvtredsindstyvende Aar og udraabe Frigivelse i Landet for alle Indbyggerne; et Jubelaar skal det være eder; enhver af eder skal vende tilbage til sin Ejendom, og enhver af eder skal vende tilbage til sin Slægt;
11 The fiftieth year will be a Jubilee for you; you are not to sow the land or reap its aftergrowth or harvest the untended vines.
et Jubelaar skal dette Aar, det halvtredsindstyvende, være eder; I maa ikke saa og ikke høste, hvad der gror af sig selv i det, eller plukke Druer af de ubeskaarne Vinstokke;
12 For it is a Jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You may eat only the crops taken directly from the field.
thi det er et Jubelaar, helligt skal det være eder; I skal spise, hvad Marken bærer af sig selv.
13 In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his own property.
I Jubelaaret skal enhver af eder vende tilbage til sin Ejendom.
14 If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, you must not take advantage of each other.
Naar du sælger din Næste noget eller køber noget af ham, maa I ikke forurette hinanden.
15 You are to buy from your neighbor according to the number of years since the last Jubilee; he is to sell to you according to the number of harvest years remaining.
Naar du køber noget af din Næste, skal der regnes med Aarene siden sidste Jubelaar; naar han sælger dig noget, skal der regnes med Afgrøderne indtil næste Jubelaar.
16 You shall increase the price in proportion to a greater number of years, or decrease it in proportion to a lesser number of years; for he is selling you a given number of harvests.
Jo flere Aar der er tilbage, des højere maa du sætte Prisen, jo færre, des lavere, thi hvad han sælger dig, er et vist Antal Afgrøder.
17 Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.
Ingen af eder maa forurette sin Næste; du skal frygte din Gud, thi jeg er HERREN din Gud!
18 You are to keep My statutes and carefully observe My judgments, so that you may dwell securely in the land.
I skal gøre efter mine Anordninger og holde mine Lovbud, saa I gør efter dem; saa skal I bo trygt i Landet,
19 Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat your fill and dwell in safety in the land.
og Landet skal give sin Frugt, saa I kan spise eder mætte og bo trygt deri.
20 Now you may wonder, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow or gather our produce?’
Men naar I siger: »Hvad skal vi da spise i det syvende Aar, naar vi hverken saar eller indsamler vor Afgrøde?«
21 But I will send My blessing upon you in the sixth year, so that the land will yield a crop sufficient for three years.
saa vil jeg opbyde min Velsignelse til Bedste for eder i det sjette Aar, saa det bærer Afgrøde for de tre Aar;
22 While you are sowing in the eighth year, you will be eating from the previous harvest, until the ninth year’s harvest comes in.
i det ottende Aar skal I saa, men I skal leve af gammelt Korn af den sidste Afgrøde indtil det niende Aar; indtil dets Afgrøde kommer, skal I leve af gammelt Korn.
23 The land must not be sold permanently, because it is Mine, and you are but foreigners and residents with Me.
Jorden i Landet maa I ikke sælge uigenkaldeligt; thi mig tilhører Landet, I er kun fremmede og indvandrede hos mig;
24 Thus for every piece of property you possess, you must provide for the redemption of the land.
overalt i det Land, I faar i Eje, skal I sørge for, at Jorden kan indløses.
25 If your brother becomes impoverished and sells some of his property, his nearest of kin may come and redeem what his brother has sold.
Naar din Broder kommer i Trang, saa han maa sælge noget af sin Ejendom, skal hans nærmeste Slægtning melde sig som Løser for ham og indløse, hvad hans Broder har solgt.
26 Or if a man has no one to redeem it for him, but he prospers and acquires enough to redeem his land,
Hvis en ingen Løser har, men selv bliver i Stand til at skaffe den fornødne Løsesum,
27 he shall calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and return to his property.
skal han udregne, hvor mange Aar der er gaaet siden Salget, og kun tilbagebetale Manden der købte det, for den Tid, der er tilbage, og derpaa igen overtage sin Ejendom.
28 But if he cannot obtain enough to repay him, what he sold will remain in possession of the buyer until the Year of Jubilee. In the Jubilee, however, it is to be released, so that he may return to his property.
Er han derimod ikke i Stand til at skaffe den fornødne Sum til Tilbagebetalingen, saa skal det, han har solgt, blive i Køberens Eje til Jubelaaret; men i Jubelaaret bliver det frit, saa han atter kan overtage sin Ejendom.
29 If a man sells a house in a walled city, he retains his right of redemption until a full year after its sale; during that year it may be redeemed.
Naar en Mand sælger et Beboelseshus i en By med Mure om, gælder hans Indløsningsret kun et fuldt Aar efter Salget; hans Indløsningsret gælder et Aar.
30 If it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house in the walled city is permanently transferred to its buyer and his descendants. It is not to be released in the Jubilee.
Hvis derfor Indløsning ikke har fundet Sted, før et fuldt Aar er omme, gaar Huset i Byen med Mure om uigenkaldeligt over i Køberens og hans Efterkommeres Eje; det bliver ikke frit i Jubelaaret.
31 But houses in villages with no walls around them are to be considered as open fields. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
Derimod henregnes Huse i Landsbyer, der ikke er omgivne af Mure, til Marklandet; for dem gælder Indløsningsretten, og i Jubelaaret bliver de fri.
32 As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess.
Men med Hensyn til Leviternes Byer, Husene i de Byer, der tilhører dem, da gælder der en ubegrænset Indløsningsret for Leviterne;
33 So whatever belongs to the Levites may be redeemed—a house sold in a city they possess—and must be released in the Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites.
og naar en af Leviterne ikke gør sin Indløsningsret gældende, bliver Huset, han solgte, i de Byer, der tilhører dem, frit i Jubelaaret, thi Husene i Leviternes Byer er deres Ejendom blandt Israeliterne.
34 But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.
Heller ikke maa Græsmarkerne, der hører til deres Byer, sælges, thi de tilhører dem som evigt Eje.
35 Now if your countryman becomes destitute and cannot support himself among you, then you are to help him as you would a foreigner or stranger, so that he can continue to live among you.
Naar din Broder i dit Nabolag kommer i Trang og ikke kan bjærge Livet, skal du holde ham oppe; som fremmed og indvandret skal han leve hos dig.
36 Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.
Du maa ikke tage Rente eller Opgæld af ham, men du skal frygte din Gud og lade din Broder leve hos dig;
37 You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.
du maa ikke laane ham Penge mod Renter eller give ham af din Føde mod Opgæld.
38 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
Jeg er HERREN eders Gud, som førte eder ud af Ægypten for at give eder Kana'ans Land, for at være eders Gud.
39 If a countryman among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, then you must not force him into slave labor.
Naar din Broder i dit Nabolag kommer i Trang og han maa sælge sig selv til dig, maa du ikke lade ham arbejde som Træl,
40 Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.
men han skal være hos dig som Daglejer eller indvandret; han skal arbejde hos dig til Jubelaaret.
41 Then he and his children are to be released, and he may return to his clan and to the property of his fathers.
Da skal han gives fri sammen med sine Børn og vende tilbage til sin Slægt og sine Fædres Ejendom,
42 Because the Israelites are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt, they are not to be sold as slaves.
thi mine Trælle er de, som jeg førte ud af Ægypten; de maa ikke sælges, som man sælger Trælle.
43 You are not to rule over them harshly, but you shall fear your God.
Du maa ikke bruge din Magt over ham med Haardhed; du skal flygte din Gud.
44 Your menservants and maidservants shall come from the nations around you, from whom you may purchase them.
Men har du Brug for Trælle og Trælkvinder, skal du købe dem af de Folkeslag, der bor rundt om eder;
45 You may also purchase them from the foreigners residing among you or their clans living among you who are born in your land. These may become your property.
ogsaa af Børnene efter de indvandrede, der bor som fremmede hos eder, maa I købe og af deres Familier, som er hos eder, og som de har avlet i eders Land; de maa blive eders Ejendom,
46 You may leave them to your sons after you to inherit as property; you can make them slaves for life. But as for your brothers, the Israelites, no man may rule harshly over his brother.
og dem maa I lade gaa i Arv og Eje til eders Børn efter eder; dem maa I bruge som Trælle paa Livstid; men over Israeliterne, eders Brødre, maa du ikke bruge din Magt med Haardhed, Broder over Broder.
47 If a foreigner residing among you prospers, but your countryman dwelling near him becomes destitute and sells himself to the foreigner or to a member of his clan,
Naar en fremmed eller en indvandret hos dig kommer til Velstand, og en af dine Brødre i hans Nabolag kommer i Trang, og han maa sælge sig til den fremmede eller den indvandrede hos dig eller til en Efterkommer af en fremmeds Slægt,
48 he retains the right of redemption after he has sold himself. One of his brothers may redeem him:
saa gælder Indløsningsretten for ham efter Salget; en af hans Brødre maa indløse ham,
49 either his uncle or cousin or any close relative from his clan may redeem him. Or if he prospers, he may redeem himself.
eller ogsaa maa hans Farbroder eller Fætter eller en anden kødelig Slægtning af hans Familie indløse ham; han maa ogsaa indløse sig selv, hvis han faar Evne dertil.
50 He and his purchaser will then count the time from the year he sold himself up to the Year of Jubilee. The price of his sale will be determined by the number of years, based on the daily wages of a hired hand.
Da skal han sammen med den, der købte ham, udregne Tiden fra det Aar, han solgte sig til ham, til Jubelaaret, og Købesummen skal svare til det Aaremaal; hans Arbejdstid hos ham skal regnes som en Daglejers.
51 If many years remain, he must pay for his redemption in proportion to his purchase price.
Er der endnu mange Aar tilbage, skal han i Løsesum udrede den tilsvarende Del af Købesummen.
52 If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, he is to calculate and pay his redemption according to his remaining years.
Og er der kun faa Aar tilbage til Jubelaaret, skal han regne dermed og udrede sin Løsesum i Forhold til de Aar, han har tilbage.
53 He shall be treated like a man hired from year to year, but a foreign owner must not rule over him harshly in your sight.
Som en Aar for Aar lejet Daglejer skal han være hos ham; du maa ikke roligt se paa, at Køberen bruger sin Magt over ham med Haardhed.
54 Even if he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he and his children shall be released in the Year of Jubilee.
Men indløses han ikke paa en af disse Maader, skal han frigives i Jubelaaret, baade han selv og hans Børn.
55 For the Israelites are My servants. They are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
Thi mig tilhører Israeliterne som Trælle; mine Trælle er de, thi jeg førte dem ud af Ægypten. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
