< Deuteronomy 23 >
1 He that is fractured or mutilated in his private parts shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord.
Ingen, der er gildet ved Knusning eller Snit, har Adgang til HERRENS Forsamling.
2 [One born] of a harlot shall not enter into the assembly 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 The Ammanite and Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even until the tenth generation he shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even 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 water by the way, when you went out of Egypt; and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor 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-Naharajim, imod dig til at forbande dig;
5 But the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam; and the Lord your God changed the curses into blessings, because the Lord your God loved you.
men HERREN din Gud vilde ikke høre paa Bileam, og HERREN din Gud forvandlede Forbandelsen til Velsignelse, fordi HERREN din Gud elskede dig.
6 You shall not speak peaceably or profitably to them all your days for ever.
Du skal aldrig i Evighed bekymre dig om deres Velfærd og Lykke!
7 You shall not abhor an Edomite, because he is your brother; you shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you were a stranger in his land.
Derimod maa du ikke afsky Edomiterne, thi det er dine Brødre. Heller ikke Ægypterne maa du afsky, thi du har levet som fremmed i deres Land.
8 If sons be born to them, in the third generation they shall enter into the assembly of the Lord.
Deres Efterkommere maa have Adgang til HERRENS Forsamling i tredje Led.
9 And if you should go forth to engage with your enemies, then you shall keep you from every wicked thing.
Naar du gaar i Krig mod dine Fjender og lægger dig i Lejr, saa vogt dig for alt, hvad der er utilbørligt.
10 If there should be in you a man who is not clean by reason of his issue by night, then he shall go forth out of the camp, and he shall not enter into the camp.
Findes der nogen hos dig, der paa Grund af en natlig Hændelse ikke er ren, skal han gaa uden for Lejren, han maa ikke komme ind i Lejren;
11 And it shall come to pass toward evening he shall wash his body with water, and when the sun has gone down, he shall go into the camp.
naar det lakker mod Aften, skal han tvætte sig med Vand, og naar Solen gaar ned, maa han atter komme ind i Lejren.
12 And you shall have a place outside of the camp, and you shall go out there,
Du skal have en afsides Plads uden for Lejren, hvor du kan gaa for dig selv;
13 and you shall have a trowel on your girdle; and it shall come to pass when you would relieve yourself abroad, that you shall dig with it, and shall bring back the earth and cover your nuisance.
og du skal have en Pind i dit Bælte, og naar du sætter dig derude, skal du med den grave et Hul og bagefter tildække dine Udtømmelser.
14 Because the Lord your God walks in your camp to deliver you, and to give up your enemy before your face; and your camp shall be holy, and there shall not appear in you a disgraceful thing, and [so] he shall 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 a servant to his master, who [coming] from his master attaches himself to you.
Du maa ikke udlevere en Træl til hans Herre, naar han er flygtet fra sin Herre og søger Tilflugt hos dig.
16 He shall dwell with you, he shall dwell among you where he shall please; you shall not afflict him.
Han maa tage Ophold i din Midte paa det Sted, han selv vælger, inden dine Porte, hvor han helst vil være, og du maa ikke gøre ham Men.
17 There shall not be a harlot of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be a fornicator of the sons of Israel; there shall not be an idolatress of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be an initiated person of the sons of Israel.
Ingen af Israels Døtre maa være Skøge, og ingen af Israels Sønner maa være Mandsskøge.
18 You shall not bring the hire of a harlot, nor the price of a dog into the house of the Lord your God, for any vow; because even both are an abomination to the Lord your God.
Du maa 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 to your brother on usury of silver, or usury of meat, or usury of any thing which you may lend out.
Du maa ikke tage Rente af din Broder, hverken af Penge, Fødevarer eller andet, som man kan tage Rente af.
20 You may lend on usury to a stranger, but to your brother you shall not lend on usury; that the Lord your God may bless you in all your works upon the land, into which you are entering to inherit it.
Af Udlændinge maa 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 And if you will vow a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it; for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and [otherwise] it shall be sin in you.
Naar du aflægger et Løfte til HERREN din Gud, maa du ikke tøve med at indfri det; thi ellers vil HERREN din Gud kræve det af dig, og du vil paadrage dig Skyld.
22 But if you should be unwilling to vow, it is not sin in you.
Men hvis du undlader at aflægge Løfter, paadrager du dig ingen Skyld.
23 You shall observe the words that proceed from between your lips; and as you have vowed a gift to the Lord God, [so] shall you do that which you have spoken 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 And if you should go into the corn field of your neighbor, then you may gather the ears with your hands; but you shall not put the sickle to your neighbor's corn.
Naar du kommer ind i din Næstes Vingaard, maa du spise alle de Druer, du har Lyst til, saa du bliver mæt; men du maa ingen komme i din Kurv.
25 And if you should go into the vineyard of your neighbor, you shall eat grapes sufficient to satisfy your desire; but you may not put them into a vessel.
Naar du gaar igennem din Næstes Sæd, maa du plukke Aks med din Haand, men du maa ikke komme til din Næstes Sæd med Segl.
