Deuteronomy 23
1 He that is wounded in the stones, or has his private parts cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
Ingen, der er gildet ved Knusning eller Snit, har Adgang til HERRENS Forsamling.
2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
Ingen, som er født i blandet Ægteskab, har Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling; end ikke i tiende Led har hans Afkom Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling.
3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
Ingen Ammonit eller Moabit har Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling; end ikke i tiende Led har deres Afkom nogen Sinde Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling,
4 Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when all of you came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.
fordi de ikke kom eder i Møde med Brød eller Vand undervejs, da I drog bort fra Ægypten, og fordi han lejede Bileam, Beors Søn, fra Petor i Aram Nabarajim, imod dig til at forbande dig;
5 Nevertheless the LORD your God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing unto you, because the LORD your God loved you.
men HERREN din Gud vilde ikke høre på Bileam, og HERREN din Gud forvandlede Forbandelsen til Velsignelse, fordi HERREN din Gud elskede dig.
6 You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days for ever.
Du skal aldrig i Evighed bekymre dig om deres Velfærd og Lykke!
7 You shall not detest an Edomite; for he is your brother: you shall not detest an Egyptian; because you were a stranger in his land.
Derimod må du ikke afsky Edomiterne, thi det er dine Brødre. Heller ikke Ægypterne må du afsky, thi du har levet som fremmed i deres Land.
8 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
Deres Efterkommere må have Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling i tredje Led.
9 When the host goes forth against your enemies, then keep you from every wicked thing.
Når du går i Krig mod dine Fjender og lægger dig i Lejr, så vogt dig for alt, hvad der er utilbørligt.
10 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chances him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
Findes der nogen hos dig, der på Grund af en natlig Hændelse ikke er ren, skal han gå uden for Lejren, han må ikke komme ind i Lejren;
11 But it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.
når det lakker mod Aften, skal han tvætte sig med Vand, og når Solen går ned, må han atter komme ind i Lejren.
12 You shall have a place also without the camp, where you shall go forth abroad:
Du skal have en afsides Plads uden for Lejren, hvor du kan gå for dig selv;
13 And you shall have a paddle upon your weapon; and it shall be, when you will ease yourself abroad, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn back and cover that which comes from you:
og du skal have en Pind i dit Bælte, og når du sætter dig derude, skal du med den grave et Hul og bagefter tildække dine Udtømmelser.
14 For the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; therefore shall your camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.
Thi HERREN din Gud drager med midt i din Lejr for at hjælpe dig og give dine Fjender i din Magt; derfor skal din Lejr være hellig, for at han ikke skal se noget hos dig, der vækker Væmmelse, og vende sig fra dig.
15 You shall not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto you:
Du må ikke udlevere en Træl til hans Herre, når han er flygtet fra sin Herre og søger Tilflugt hos dig.
16 He shall dwell with you, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of your gates, where it likes him best: you shall not oppress him.
Han må tage Ophold i din Midte på det Sted, han selv vælger, inden dine Porte, hvor han helst vil være, og du må ikke gøre ham Men.
17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
Ingen af Israels Døtre må være Skøge, og ingen af Israels Sønner må være Mandsskøge.
18 You shall not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD your God.
Du må ikke for at opfylde et Løfte bringe Skøgefortjeneste eller Hundeløn til HERREN din Guds Hus; thi begge dele er HERREN din Gud en Vederstyggelighed.
19 You shall not lend upon interest to your brother; interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of any thing that is lent upon interest:
Du må ikke tage Rente af din Broder, hverken af Penge, Fødevarer eller andet, som man kan tage Rente af.
20 Unto a stranger you may lend upon interest; but unto your brother you shall not lend upon interest: that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you set your hand to in the land where you go to possess it.
Af Udlændinge må du tage Rente, men ikke af din Broder, hvis HERREN din Gud skal velsigne dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for i det Land, du skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.
21 When you shall vow a vow unto the LORD your God, you shall not slack to pay it: for the LORD your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
Når du aflægger et Løfte til HERREN din Gud, må du ikke tøve med at indfri det; thi ellers vil HERREN din Gud kræve det af dig, og du vil pådrage dig Skyld.
22 But if you shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in you.
Men hvis du undlader at aflægge Løfter, pådrager du dig ingen Skyld.
23 That which is gone out of your lips you shall keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as you have vowed unto the LORD your God, which you have promised with your mouth.
Hvad du engang har sagt, skal du holde, og du skal gøre, hvad du frivilligt har lovet HERREN din Gud, hvad du har udtalt med din Mund.
24 When you come into your neighbour's vineyard, then you may eat grapes your fill at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your vessel.
Når du kommer ind i din Næstes Vingård, må du spise alle de Druer, du har Lyst til, så du bliver mæt; men du må ingen komme i din Kurv.
25 When you come into the standing corn of your neighbour, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not move a sickle unto your neighbour's standing corn.
Når du går igennem din Næstes Sæd, må du plukke Aks med din Hånd, men du må ikke komme til din Næstes Sæd med Segl.
