Leviticus 25
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose paa Sinai Bjerg og sagde:
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath 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 vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
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 of rest to the land, a sabbath for the LORD: you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard.
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 That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed: for it is 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 sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for you, and for your servant, and for your maid, and for your hired servant, and for your stranger that sojourns 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 beast that are in your land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
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 number seven sabbaths of years to you, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty and nine 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 Then shall you cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall you make the trumpet sound throughout 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 hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee to you; and you shall return every man to his possession, and you shall return every man 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 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you: you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your vine undressed.
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 the jubilee; it shall be holy to you: you shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
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 this jubilee you shall return every man to his possession.
I dette Jubelaar skulle I komme tilbage, hver til sin Ejendom.
14 And if you sell something to your neighbor, or buy something of your neighbor’s hand, you shall not oppress one another:
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 you shall buy of your neighbor, and according to the number of years of the fruits he shall 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 to the multitude of years you shall increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years you shall diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits does 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 You shall not therefore oppress one another; but you shall fear your God: for 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 Why you shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.
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 fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
Og Landet skal give sin Frugt, at I skulle æde, til I mættes; og I skulle bo tryggelig deri.
20 And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
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 I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit 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 the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in you shall eat of the old store.
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 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for you are strangers and sojourners with 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 all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.
Og i al eders Ejendoms Land skulle I tilstede Løsning for Jorden.
25 If your brother be waxen poor, and has sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother 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 the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
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 let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the remainder to the man to whom he sold it; that he may 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 he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that has bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he 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 a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.
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 redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee.
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 of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.
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 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
Og hvad angaar Leviternes Stæder, Husene i deres Ejendoms Stæder, da maa der altid ske Løsning af Leviterne.
33 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among 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 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it 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 be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with you; then you shall relieve him: yes, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may 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 Take you no usury of him, or increase: but fear your God; that your brother may 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 give him your money on usury, nor lend him your victuals for 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, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and 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 that dwells by you be waxen poor, and be sold to you; you shall not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
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 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you, and shall serve you to the year of jubilee.
Han skal være hos dig som en Daglønner, som en Gæst, han skal tjene hos dig indtil Jubelaaret.
41 And then shall he depart from you, both he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return.
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 For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as slaves.
Thi de ere mine Tjenere, som jeg udførte af Ægyptens Land; de skulle ikke sælges, som en Træl sælges.
43 You shall not rule over him with rigor; but shall fear your God.
Du skal ikke strengelig regere over ham, men frygte din Gud.
44 Both your slaves, and your bondmaids, which you shall have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall you buy slaves and bondmaids.
Og hvad angaar din Træl eller din Trælkvinde, saa skulle I af Hedningerne, som ere rundt omkring eder, købe Træl og Trælkvinde.
45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall you buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your 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 take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your slaves for ever: but over your brothers the children of Israel, you shall not rule one over another with rigor.
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 sojourner or stranger wax rich by you, and your brother that dwells by him wax poor, and sell himself to the stranger or sojourner by you, or to the stock of the stranger’s family:
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 that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brothers may redeem him:
da skal der, efter at han er solgt, være Ret for ham til Løsning; en af hans Brødre maa løse ham.
49 Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is near of kin to him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may 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 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him to the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.
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 If there be yet many years behind, according to them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
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 there remain but few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according to his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
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 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigor over him in your sight.
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 be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both 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 to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Thi Israels Børn ere mine Tjenere, ja de ere mine Tjenere, som jeg udførte af Ægyptens Land; jeg er Herren eders Gud.
