Deuteronomy 24
1 And if any one should take a wife, and should dwell with her, then it shall come to pass if she should not have found favor before him, because he has found some unbecoming thing in her, that he shall write for her a bill of divorcement, and give it into her hands, and he shall send her away 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 [if] she should go away and be married to another man;
og hun da gaar ud af hans Hus og gaar bort og bliver en anden Mands,
3 and the last husband should hate her, and write for her a bill of divorcement; and should give it into her hands, and send her away out of his house, and the last husband should die, who took her to himself for a 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 the former husband who sent her away shall not be able to return and take her to himself for a wife, after she has been defiled; because it is an abomination before the Lord your God, and you shall not defile the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit.
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 And if any one should have recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any thing be laid upon him; he shall be free in his house; for one year he shall cheer his wife whom he has 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 You shall not take for a pledge the under millstone, nor the upper millstone; for he who does so takes life for a pledge.
Man skal ikke tage begge Møllestene eller den øverste Møllesten til Pant; thi saa tager man Livet til Pant.
7 And if a man should be caught stealing one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and having overcome him he should sell him, that thief shall die; so shall you remove that evil one from yourselves.
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 to yourself in [regard of] the plague of leprosy: you shall take great heed to do according to all the law, which the priests the Levites shall report to you; take heed to do, as I have charged you.
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 all that the Lord your God did to Mariam in the way, when you were going out of Egypt.
Kom i Hu, hvad Herren, din Gud gjorde ved Maria paa Vejen, der I droge ud af Ægypten.
10 If your neighbor owe you a debt, any debt whatever, you shall not go into his house to take his pledge:
Dersom du udlaaner til din Næste noget Laan, da skal du ikke gaa ind i hans Hus og tage hans Pant.
11 you shall stand without, and the man who is in your debt shall bring the pledge out to you.
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, you shall not sleep with his pledge.
Men dersom han er en nødlidende Mand, da skal du ikke lægge dig til Hvile med hans Pant.
13 You shall surely restore his pledge at sunset, and he shall sleep in his garment, and he shall bless you; and it shall be mercy to you before the Lord your 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 You shall not unjustly withhold the wages of the poor and needy of your brethren, or of the strangers who are in your cities.
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 You shall pay him his wages the same day, the sun shall not go down upon it, because he is poor and he trusts in it; and he shall cry against you to the Lord, and it shall be sin in you.
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, and the sons shall not be put to death for the fathers; every one 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 You shall not wrest the judgment of the stranger and the fatherless, and widow; you shall not take the widow's garment for a pledge.
Du skal ikke bøje Retten for den fremmede, den faderløse, og ej tage en Enkes Klædebon til Pant.
18 And you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you from thence; therefore I charge you 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 And when you shall have reaped corn in your field, and shall have forgotten a sheaf in your field, you shall not return to take it; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your 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 And if you should gather your olives, you shall not return to collect the remainder; it shall be for the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, and you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this thing.
Naar du ryster dit Olietræ, da skal du ikke siden efter gennemsøge Grenene; det skal høre den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken til.
21 And when soever you shall gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean what you have left; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and 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 you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you 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.
