Leviticus 25
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the mount Sina, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose paa Sinai Bjerg og sagde:
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whenever you shall have entered into the land, which I give to you, then the land shall rest which I give to you, for its sabbaths to the Lord.
Tal til Israels Børn, og du skal sige til dem: Naar I komme til det Land, som jeg vil give eder, da skal Jorden hvile, det skal være en Sabbat for Herren.
3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vine, and gather in its fruit.
Seks Aar skal du besaa din Mark, og seks Aar skal du skære din Vingaard, og du skal samle dens Grøde.
4 But in the seventh year [shall be] a sabbath, it shall be a rest to the land, a sabbath to the Lord: you shall not sow your field, and you shall not prune your vine.
Men i det syvende Aar skal være en Sabbats Hvile for Landet, det er en Sabbat for Herren; du skal ikke besaa din Mark og ej skære din Vingaard.
5 And you shall not gather the spontaneous produce of your field, and you shall not gather fully the grapes of your dedication: it shall be a year of rest to the land.
Hvad der vokser af din Høst af sig selv, skal du ikke høste, og ikke afplukke de Vindruer, som vokse uden dit Arbejde; det skal være et Hvileaar for Landet.
6 And the sabbaths of the land shall be food for you, and for your man-servant, and for your maidservant, and your hireling, and the stranger that abides with you.
Og hvad Landets Hvileaar frembringer, skal være for eder til Spise, for dig og for din Tjener og for din Tjenestepige og for din Daglønner og for den, som bor hos dig, de fremmede hos dig,
7 And for your cattle, and for the wild beats that are in your land, shall every fruit of it be for food.
og for dit Kvæg og for de vilde Dyr, som ere i dit Land, skal al dets Grøde være til at æde.
8 And you shall reckon to yourself seven sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and they shall be to you seven weeks of years, nine and forty years.
Og du skal tælle dig syv Hvileaar, syv Aar syv Gange; og de syv Hvileaars Dage skulle være dig ni og fyrretyve Aar.
9 In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall make a proclamation with the sound of a trumpet in all your land; on the day of atonement you shall make a proclamation with a trumpet in all your land.
Og du skal lade en Basunklang lyde igennem Landet i den syvende Maaned paa den tiende Dag i Maaneden, paa Forligelsens Dag skulle I lade Basunen lyde igennem hele eders Land.
10 And you shall sanctify the year, the fifties year, and you shall proclaim a release upon the land to all that inhabit it; it shall be given a year of release, a jubilee for you; and each one shall depart to his possession, and you shall go each to his family.
Og I skulle holde det halvtredsindstyvende Aar helligt; og I skulle udraabe Frihed i Landet for alle dem, som bo deri; det skal være eder et Jubelaar, og I skulle komme tilbage, hver til sin Ejendom, og komme tilbage, hver til sin Slægt.
11 This is a jubilee of release, the year shall be to you the fifties year: you shall not sow, nor reap the produce that comes of itself from the land, neither shall you gather its dedicated fruits.
Det halvtredsindstyvende Aar skal være eder et Jubelaar; I skulle ikke saa og ej høste det, som vokser af sig selv deri, og ikke afplukke det, som vokser uden Arbejde deri.
12 For it is a jubilee of release; it shall be holy to you, you shall eat its fruits off the fields.
Thi det er et Jubelaar, det skal være eder en Hellighed; I skulle æde, hvad Marken bærer af sig selv.
13 In the year of the release [even] the jubilee of it, shall [each] one return to his possession.
I dette Jubelaar skulle I komme tilbage, hver til sin Ejendom.
14 And if you should sell a possession to your neighbour, or if you should buy of your neighbour, let not a man oppress his neighbour.
Og naar du sælger din Næste noget eller køber af din Næstes Haand, skulle I ikke forfordele den ene den anden.
15 According to the number of years after the jubilee shall you buy of your neighbour, according to the number of years of the fruits shall he sell to you.
Efter Aarenes Tal, som ere efter Jubelaaret, skal du købe af din Næste; efter Antallet, af de Aar, i hvilke der er Afgrøde, skal han sælge dig.
16 According as [there may be] a greater number of years he shall increase [the value of] his possession, and according as [there may be] a less number of years he shall lessen [the value of] his possession; for according to the number of his crops, so shall he sell to you.
Efter som Aarene ere mange til, skal du lade Købesummen derpaa formeres, og efter som Aarene ere faa til, skal du lade Købesummen derpaa formindskes; thi han sælger dig Afgrødernes Tal.
17 Let not a man oppress his neighbour, and you shall fear the Lord your God: I am the Lord your God.
Og I skulle ikke forfordele nogen sin Næste; men du skal frygte din Gud; thi jeg Herren er eders Gud.
18 And you shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgements; and do you observe them, and you shall keep them, and dwell securely in the land.
Og I skulle gøre mine Skikke og holde mine Bud og gøre dem; saa skulle I bo tryggelig i Landet.
19 And the land shall yield her increase, and you shall eat to fullness, and shall dwell securely in it.
Og Landet skal give sin Frugt, at I skulle æde, til I mættes; og I skulle bo tryggelig deri.
20 And if you should say, What shall we eat in this seventh year, if we do not sow nor gather in our fruits?
Og naar I ville sige: Hvad skulle vi æde i det syvende Aar? se, vi skulle ikke saa og ej indsamle vor Grøde:
21 Then will I send my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and the land shall produce its fruits for three years.
Da vil jeg i give min Velsignelse Befaling over eder i det sjette Aar, og det skal bære Grøde for de tre Aar.
22 And you shall sow in the eighth year, and eat old fruits till the ninth year: until its fruit come, you shall eat old fruits of the old.
Og I skulle saa i det ottende Aar og æde af den gamle Afgrøde; indtil det niende Aar, indtil Afgrøden kommer deraf, skulle I æde det gamle.
23 And the land shall not be sold for a permanence; for the land is mine, because you are strangers and sojourners before me.
Og Landet skal ikke sælges med fuld Afhændelse, thi Landet hører mig til; thi I ere fremmede og Gæster hos mig.
24 And in every land of your possession, you shall allow ransoms for the land.
Og i al eders Ejendoms Land skulle I tilstede Løsning for Jorden.
25 And if your brother who is with you be poor, and should have sold [part] of his possession, and his kinsman who is near to him come, then he shall redeem the possession which his brother has sold.
Naar din Broder bliver forarmet, at han sælger af sin Ejendom, saa skal hans Løser, som er ham næst paarørende, komme og løse det, hans Broder har solgt.
26 And if one have no near kinsman, and he prosper with his hand, and he find sufficient money, [even] his ransom;
Og naar nogen ikke har en Løser, og hans Haand formaar og finder saa meget, som er nok til at løse det for,
27 then shall he calculate the years of his sale, and he shall give what is due to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his possession.
da skal han beregne de Aar, siden han solgte det, og tilbagebetale det, som staar tilbage, til Manden, hvem han solgte det; saa skal han komme til sin Ejendom igen.
28 But if his hand have not prospered sufficiently, so as that he should restore the money to him, then he that bought the possessions shall have them till the sixth year of the release; and it shall go out in the release, and the owner shall return to his possession.
Men dersom hans Haand ikke finder saa meget, som er nok til at tilbagebetale ham, da skal det, han har solgt, være i dens Vold, som købte det, indtil Jubelaaret; og i Jubelaaret skal det gives frit, og han skal komme til sin Ejendom igen.
29 And if any one should sell an inhabited house in a walled city, then there shall be the ransom of it, until [the time] is fulfilled: its time of ransom shall be a full year.
Og naar nogen sælger et beboet Hus i en Stad, der har Mur, han har Ret til dets Løsning, indtil et helt Aar er forløbet, efter at han har solgt det; et Aar skal Løsningen deraf kunne ske.
30 And if it be not ransomed until there be completed of its time a full year, the house which is in the walled city shall be surely confirmed to him that bought it, throughout his generations; and it shall not go out in the release.
Men dersom det ikke bliver løst, førend det hele Aar er forløbet for ham, da skal Huset, som er i en Stad, der har Mur, overdrages med en fuld Afhændelse til ham, som købte det, for hans Efterkommere; det skal ikke gives frit i Jubelaaret.
31 But the houses in the villages which have not a wall round about them, shall be reckoned as the fields of the country: they shall always be redeemable, and they shall go out in the release.
Men Husene i Landsbyerne, som ikke have Mur omkring, de skulle regnes ligesom en Ager paa Landet; der skal være Løsning for dem, og de skulle gives fri i Jubelaaret.
32 And the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities in their possession, shall be always redeemable to the Levites.
Og hvad angaar Leviternes Stæder, Husene i deres Ejendoms Stæder, da maa der altid ske Løsning af Leviterne.
33 And if any one shall redeem a house of the Levites, then shall their sale of the houses of their possession go out in the release; because the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the children of Israel.
Og naar nogen af Leviterne løser noget, da skal det gives frit, hvad enten det er et solgt Hus eller hans Ejendoms Stad, i Jubelaaret; thi Husene i Leviternes Stæder ere deres Ejendom midt iblandt Israels Børn.
34 And the lands set apart for their cities shall not be sold, because this is their perpetual possession.
Men Markens Jord, som hører til deres Stæder, skal ikke Sælges; thi den er dem en evig Ejendom.
35 And if your brother who is with you become poor, and he fail in resources with you, you shall help him as a stranger and a sojourner, and your brother shall live with you.
Og naar din Broder forarmes, og hans Formue tager af hos dig, da skal du styrke ham, var han endog en fremmed og en Gæst, at han kan leve hos dig.
36 You shall not receive from him interest, nor increase: and you shall fear your God: I [am] the Lord: and your brother shall live with you.
Du skal ikke tage Aager eller Overgift af ham, men du skal frygte din Gud, at din Broder kan leve hos dig.
37 You shall not lend your money to him at interest, and you shall not lend your meat to him to be returned with increase.
Du skal ikke fly ham dine Penge paa Aager, og du skal ikke fly ham din Mad paa Overgift.
38 I [am] the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Chanaan, so as to be your God.
Jeg er Herren eders Gud, jeg som udførte eder af Ægyptens Land for at give eder Kanaans Land, for at være eders Gud.
39 And if your brother by you be lowered, and be sold to you, he shall not serve you with the servitude of a slave.
Og naar din Broder forarmes hos dig, og han sælges til dig, da skal du ikke lade ham tjene hos dig paa den Maade, som en Træl tjener.
40 He shall be with you as a hireling or a sojourner, he shall work for you till the year of release:
Han skal være hos dig som en Daglønner, som en Gæst, han skal tjene hos dig indtil Jubelaaret.
41 and he shall go out in the release, and his children with him; and he shall go to his family, he shall hasten back to his patrimony.
Da skal han udgaa fra dig, han og hans Børn med ham, og han skal vende tilbage til sin Slægt, og vende tilbage til sine Fædres Ejendom.
42 Because these are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; such an one shall not be sold as a [common] servant.
Thi de ere mine Tjenere, som jeg udførte af Ægyptens Land; de skulle ikke sælges, som en Træl sælges.
43 You shall not oppress him with labour, and shall fear the Lord your God.
Du skal ikke strengelig regere over ham, men frygte din Gud.
44 And whatever number of menservants and maidservants you shall have, you shall purchase male and female servants from the nations that are round about you.
Og hvad angaar din Træl eller din Trælkvinde, saa skulle I af Hedningerne, som ere rundt omkring eder, købe Træl og Trælkvinde.
45 And of the sons of the sojourners that are amongst you, of these you shall buy and of their relations, all that shall be in your lands; let them be to you for a possession.
Ogsaa af deres Børn, som ere Gæster og fremmede iblandt eder, af dem skulle I købe, og af deres Slægt, som er hos eder, og som de have avlet i eders Land; og de skulle være eder til Ejendom.
46 And you shall distribute them to your children after you, and they shall be to you permanent possessions for ever: but of your brethren the children of Israel, one shall not oppress his brother in labours.
Og dem skulle I arvelig beholde for eders Børn efter eder, at de kunne eje dem til en Ejendom, de skulle tjene eder evindelig; men over eders Brødre af Israels Børn skal den ene ikke strengelig regere over den anden.
47 And if a stranger or sojourner with you wax rich, and your brother in distress be sold to the stranger or the sojourner that is with you, or to a proselyte by extraction;
Og naar en fremmeds eller Gæsts Haand hos dig formaar meget, og din Broder forarmes hos ham, saa at han sælger sig til den fremmede, som er Gæst hos dig, eller til en af en fremmed Slægt,
48 after he is sold to him there shall be redemption for him, one of his brethren shall redeem him.
da skal der, efter at han er solgt, være Ret for ham til Løsning; en af hans Brødre maa løse ham.
49 A brother of his father, or a son of his father's brother shall redeem him; or let one of his near kin of his tribe redeem him, and if he should be rich and redeem himself,
Enten hans Farbroder eller hans Farbroders Søn maa løse ham, eller nogen af hans næste Slægt, af hans Slægtskab, maa løse ham; eller formaar hans Haand saa meget, da maa han løse sig selv.
50 then shall he calculate with his purchaser from the year that he sold himself to him until the year of release: and the money of his purchase shall be as that of a hireling, he shall be with him from year to year.
Og han skal regne med den, som købte ham, fra det Aar, i hvilket han solgtes til ham, indtil Jubelaaret; og Pengene, som han solgtes for, skulle bestemmes efter Aarenes Tal, som en Daglønners Dage skal Tiden, han var hos ham, agtes.
51 And if any have a greater number of years [than enough], according to these he shall pay his ransom out of his purchase-money.
Om der endnu er mange Aar tilbage, da skal han i Forhold til disse betale tilbage for sin Løsning af Pengene, han blev købt for.
52 And if but a little time be left of the years to the year of release, then shall he reckon to him according to his years, and shall pay his ransom
Men om der er faa Aar tilbage, indtil Jubelaaret, da skal han regne med ham, i Forhold til sine Aar skal han betale tilbage for sin Løsning.
53 as a hireling; he shall be with him from year to year; you shall not oppress him with labour before you.
Ligesom en Daglønner Aar for Aar skal han være hos ham; han skal ikke strengelig regere over ham for dine Øjne.
54 And if he do not pay his ransom accordingly, he shall go out in the year of his release, he and his children with him.
Men dersom han ikke kan løses paa disse Maader, da skal han gives fri i Jubelaaret, han og hans Børn med ham.
55 For the children of Israel are my servants: they are my attendants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt.
Thi Israels Børn ere mine Tjenere, ja de ere mine Tjenere, som jeg udførte af Ægyptens Land; jeg er Herren eders Gud.
