Exodus 22
1 If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
Naar nogen stjæler en Okse eller et Lam og slagter det eller sælger det, skal han betale fem Okser for Oksen og fire Lam for Lammet.
2 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
Om nogen Tyv bliver greben, idet han bryder ind, og bliver slagen og dør, skal ingen Bloddom udgaa for hans Skyld.
3 If the sun be risen on him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
Men er Solen opgangen over ham, da skal Bloddom udgaa for hans Skyld. Tyven skal betale; men har han intet, da skal han sælges for sit Tyveri.
4 If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
Dersom det stjaalne findes i hans Vold, hvad enten det er Okse eller Asen eller Lam, som er levende, skal han betale dobbelt.
5 If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man’s field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
Naar nogen lader afæde Ager eller Vingaard, idet han slaar sit Kvæg løs, og det afæder en andens Ager, da skal han betale af det bedste paa sin Ager og af det bedste i sin Vingaard.
6 If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
Om Ild farer ud og griber fat i Torne, og Negene eller det staaende Korn eller Ageren ødelægges, da skal han, som antændte Branden, visselig betale.
7 If a man shall deliver to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief be found, let him pay double.
Om nogen flyr sin Næste Penge eller Tøj at forvare, og det bliver stjaalet af Mandens Hus, skal Tyven, hvis han findes, betale dobbelt.
8 If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges, to see whether he have put his hand to his neighbor’s goods.
Men findes Tyven ikke, da skal Husbonden føres frem for Gud at vidne, at han ikke har lagt sin Haand paa sin Næstes Tøj.
9 For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing which another challenges to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double to his neighbor.
Hvad angaar al svigagtig Handel, om Okse, Asen, Lam, Klæder, om alt, hvad der er tabt, om hvilket nogen siger, at dette er hans, da skal begges Sag komme for Gud; hvem Gud siger at være skyldig, han skal betale sin Næste dobbelt.
10 If a man deliver to his neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
Naar nogen flyr sin Næste Asen eller Okse eller Lam eller andet Kvæg at passe paa, og det dør, eller det kommer til Skade, eller det bortføres, og ingen ser det,
11 Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he has not put his hand to his neighbor’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.
da skal Ed ved Herren være imellem dem begge, at han ikke har lagt sin Haand paa sin Næstes Gods, og den skal dets Ejermand tage for god, og den anden skal ikke betale.
12 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner thereof.
Men bliver det stjaalet fra ham, da skal han betale dets Ejermand det.
13 If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.
Men bliver det sønderrevet, da skal han føre det frem til et Vidnesbyrd; han skal ikke betale det, som er sønderrevet.
14 And if a man borrow something of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good.
Og naar nogen laaner noget af sin Næste, og det kommer til Skade eller dør, da skal han, hvis Ejermanden ikke er til Stede, betale det.
15 But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.
Dersom dets Ejermand er derhos, da skal han ikke betale; dersom det er lejet, da regnes det for Lejen.
16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
Og naar nogen lokker en Jomfru, som ikke er trolovet, og ligger hos hende, da skal han visselig give Morgengave for hende og tage sig hende til Hustru.
17 If her father utterly refuse to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
Men om hendes Fader vægrer sig ved at give ham hende, da skal han tilveje Penge efter Morgengave for en Jomfru.
18 You shall not suffer a witch to live.
Du skal ikke lade en Troldkvinde leve.
19 Whoever lies with a beast shall surely be put to death.
Hver som ligger hos et Dyr, skal visselig dødes.
20 He that sacrifices to any god, save to the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
Hvo som ofrer til Guderne og ikke til Herren alene, skal være forbandet.
21 You shall neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Og du skal ikke plage en fremmed og ikke undertrykke ham; thi I have været fremmede i Ægyptens Land.
22 You shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
I skulle ikke plage nogen Enke eller faderløs.
23 If you afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
Dersom du plager ham, og han raaber til mig, da skal jeg visselig høre hans Raab.
24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
Saa optændes min Vrede, og jeg ihjelslaar eder med Sværd, og eders Hustruer skulle blive Enker og eders Børn faderløse.
25 If you lend money to any of my people that is poor by you, you shall not be to him as an usurer, neither shall you lay on him usury.
Dersom du laaner mit Folk Penge, nemlig den fattige hos dig, da skal du ikke være ham som en Aagerkarl; I skulle ikke lægge Aager paa ham.
26 If you at all take your neighbor’s raiment to pledge, you shall deliver it to him by that the sun goes down:
Dersom du tager din Næstes Klædebon til Pant, da skal du give ham det igen, førend Solen gaar ned.
27 For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he cries to me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
Thi det er hans eneste Skjul, det er hans Klædebon for hans Krop; deri ligger han; og det skal ske, naar han raaber til mig, da skal jeg høre det, thi jeg er naadig.
28 You shall not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of your people.
Du skal ikke bande Gud, og den øverste iblandt dit Folk skal du ikke ønske ondt over.
29 You shall not delay to offer the first of your ripe fruits, and of your liquors: the firstborn of your sons shall you give to me.
Du skal ikke tøve med at give mig af din Lades Fylde og din Vinperses Væde; du skal give mig den førstefødte af dine Sønner.
30 Likewise shall you do with your oxen, and with your sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day you shall give it me.
Saaledes skal du gøre med din Okse og med dit Faar; det skal være syv Dage hos sin Moder, paa den ottende Dag skal du give mig det.
31 And you shall be holy men to me: neither shall you eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; you shall cast it to the dogs.
Og I skulle være mig aldeles hellige Mennesker og ikke æde Kød, som er sønderrevet paa Marken; for Hunde skulle I kaste det.
