Deuteronomy 24
1 WHEN a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Naar en Mand tager en Hustru og ægter hende, og hun ikke finder Naade for hans Øjne, fordi han fandt ublu Handel hos hende, og han da skriver hende et Skilsmissebrev og giver det i hendes Haand og lader hende fare bort fra sit Hus,
2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.
og hun da gaar ud af hans Hus og gaar bort og bliver en anden Mands,
3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
og den samme anden Mand faar Had til hende og skriver hende et Skilsmissebrev og giver i hendes Haand og lader hende fare bort fra sit Hus; eller om den anden Mand dør, som tog hende til Hustru:
4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
Da maa ikke hendes første Mand, som lod hende fare, atter tage hende til sin Hustru, siden hun er bleven uren, thi det er en Vederstyggelighed for Herrens Ansigt; og du skal ikke gøre det Land syndigt, som Herren din Gud giver dig til Arv.
5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
Naar en Mand nylig har taget en Hustru, skal han ikke drage ud i Striden, og man skal ingen Tynge lægge paa ham; han skal være fri i sit Hus eet Aar og være glad med sin Hustru, som han har taget.
6 No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man’s life to pledge.
Man skal ikke tage begge Møllestene eller den øverste Møllesten til Pant; thi saa tager man Livet til Pant.
7 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.
Om nogen findes, som stjæler en Person af sine Brødre af Israels Børn og driver Handel med ham eller sælger ham, da skal samme Tyv dø, og du skal borttage den onde fra dig.
8 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.
Tag dig i Vare for Spedalskheds Plage, saa at du tager vel Vare paa og gør efter alt det, som Præsterne, Leviterne skulle lære eder; eftersom jeg har budet dem, skulle I tage Vare paa at gøre.
9 Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
Kom i Hu, hvad Herren, din Gud gjorde ved Maria paa Vejen, der I droge ud af Ægypten.
10 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
Dersom du udlaaner til din Næste noget Laan, da skal du ikke gaa ind i hans Hus og tage hans Pant.
11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
Du skal staa udenfor, og den Mand, hvem du har laant noget, skal bære Pantet ud til dig udenfor.
12 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
Men dersom han er en nødlidende Mand, da skal du ikke lægge dig til Hvile med hans Pant.
13 In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the Lord thy God.
Men du skal give ham Pantet tilbage, naar Solen gaar ned, at han kan lægge sig i sit Klædebon og velsigne dig; og det skal være dig en Retfærdighed for Herren din Guds Ansigt.
14 Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:
Du skal ikke gøre en nødlidende og en fattig Daglønner Uret, være sig af dine Brødre eller af dine fremmede, som ere i dit Land inden dine Porte.
15 At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin unto thee.
Du skal give ham hans Løn paa hans Dag, og Solen skal ikke gaa ned derover; thi han er nødlidende, og til den sætter han sin Hu; at han ikke skal raabe over dig til Herren, og det skal være dig til Synd.
16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
Forældre skulle ikke dødes for Børn, og Børn skulle ikke dødes for Forældrene; de skulle dødes hver for sin Synd.
17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge:
Du skal ikke bøje Retten for den fremmede, den faderløse, og ej tage en Enkes Klædebon til Pant.
18 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
Og du skal komme i Hu, at du var en Træl i Ægypten, og Herren din Gud udløste dig derfra; derfor byder jeg dig at gøre denne Gerning.
19 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
Naar du høster din Høst paa din Ager og har glemt et Neg paa Ageren, da skal du ikke vende tilbage at tage det; det skal høre den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken til, paa det at Herren din Gud maa velsigne dig i al dine Hænders Gerning.
20 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Naar du ryster dit Olietræ, da skal du ikke siden efter gennemsøge Grenene; det skal høre den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken til.
21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Naar du plukker din Vingaard, da skal du ikke siden eftersanke; det skal høre den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken til.
22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
Og du skal komme i Hu, at du var en Træl i Ægyptens Land, derfor byder jeg dig at gøre denne Gerning.
