Deuteronomy 24
1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass, that if she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some scandalous thing in her, he may write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her away out of his house;
Naar en Mand tager en Kvinde til Ægte, og hun ikke vinder hans Yndest, fordi han finder noget ved hende, der vækker Ubehag hos ham, og han skriver hende et Skilsmissebrev og giver hende det i Hænde og sender hende ud af sit Hjem,
2 And she shall depart out of his house; and if she go and become another man's wife;
saa maa hun efter at have forladt hans Hjem gaa hen og gifte sig med en anden Mand;
3 And the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her away out of his house; or if the latter husband, who took her as his wife, should die:
faar denne anden Mand ogsaa Uvilje imod hende og skriver hende et Skilsmissebrev og giver hende det i Hænde og sender hende ud af sit Hjem, eller dør den anden Mand, der havde taget hende til Ægte,
4 Then shall her former husband, who had sent her away, not be at liberty to take her again to be his wife, after she hath been defiled; for it is abomination before the Lord; and thou shalt not bring sin upon the land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
saa har hendes første Mand, som havde sendt hende bort, ikke Ret til igen at tage hende til Hustru, efter at hun er blevet uren. Thi det er HERREN en Vederstyggelighed, og du maa ikke bringe Brøde over det Land, HERREN din Gud vil give dig i Eje.
5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any public business: he shall be free for his house one year, and shall cheer up his wife whom he hath taken.
Naar en Mand nylig har taget sig en Hustru, skal han ikke drage med i Krig, og der skal ikke paalægges ham nogen som helst Forpligtelse; han skal have Frihed til at blive hjemme et Aar og glæde sin Hustru, som han har ægtet.
6 No man shall take to pledge the nether or the upper millstone; for he taketh a man's life to pledge.
Man maa ikke tage en Haandkværn i Pant, heller ikke den øverste Møllesten; thi det var at tage Livet selv i Pant.
7 If a man be found stealing any one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and he treateth him as a slave, and selleth him: then shall that thief die; and thou shalt put the evil away from the midst of thee.
Naar nogen gribes i at stjæle en af sine Brødre blandt Israeliterne og gør ham Fortræd eller sælger ham, da skal en saadan Tyv lade sit Liv. Du skal udrydde det onde af din Midte.
8 Take heed of the plague of leprosy, to observe diligently, and to do according to all that the priests, the Levites, may instruct you; as I have commanded them, so shall ye observe to do.
Tag dig i Vare med Spedalskhed, saa du meget omhyggeligt handler efter alt, hvad Levitpræsterne lærer eder; som jeg har paabudt dem, skal I omhyggeligt handle.
9 Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam on the journey, at your coming forth out of Egypt.
Kom i Hu, hvad HERREN din Gud gjorde ved Mirjam undervejs, da I drog bort fra Ægypten.
10 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing as a loan, thou shalt not go into his house to take his pledge.
Naar du yder din Næste et Laan, maa du ikke gaa ind i hans Hus for at tage Pant af ham.
11 In the street shalt thou stand, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out unto thee the pledge into the street.
Du skal blive staaende udenfor, og den Mand, du yder Laanet, skal bringe Pantet ud til dig.
12 And if he be a poor man, thou shalt not lie down with his pledge:
Hvis han er en fattig Mand, maa du ikke lægge dig til Hvile med hans Pant;
13 Thou shalt punctually deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may lie under his own cover, and bless thee; and unto thee shall it be as righteousness before the Lord thy God.
ved Solnedgang skal du give ham Pantet tilbage, for at han kan lægge sig til Hvile i sin Kappe. Da velsigner han dig derfor, og du staar retfærdiggjort for HERREN din Guds Aasyn.
14 Thou shalt not withhold the wages of a hired man, of the poor and needy, [whether he be] of thy brethren, or of the strangers that are in thy land within thy gates.
Du maa ikke forurette en nødlidende, fattig Daglejer, hvad enten han hører til dine Brødre eller de fremmede inden dine Porte nogetsteds i dit Land.
15 On the same day shalt thou give him his wages, that the sun may not go down upon it; for he is poor, and his soul longeth for it; so that he may not cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin in thee.
Dag for Dag skal du give ham hans Løn, saa at Solen ikke gaar ned derover, thi han er nødlidende og venter med Længsel derpaa. Ellers raaber han til HERREN over dig, og du paadrager dig Skyld.
16 Fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall children be put to death for the fathers: for his own sin shall every man be put to death.
Fædre skal ikke lide Døden for Børns Skyld, og Børn skal ikke lide Døden for Fædres Skyld. Enhver skal lide Døden for sin egen Synd.
17 Thou shalt not pervert the cause of the stranger, or of the fatherless; and thou shalt not take in pledge the raiment of a widow;
Du maa ikke bøje Retten for den fremmede og den faderløse, og du maa ikke tage Enkens Klædning i Pant.
18 But thou shalt remember that thou waste a bond-man in Egypt, and that the Lord thy God redeemed thee thence; therefore do I command thee to do this thing.
Men kom i Hu, at du var Træl i Ægypten, og at HERREN din Gud udløste dig derfra. Derfor byder jeg dig at handle saaledes.
19 When thou cuttest down thy harvest in thy field, and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go back to fetch it; for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow shall it be; in order that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands.
Naar du bjærger din Høst paa din Mark og glemmer et Neg paa Marken, maa du ikke vende tilbage for at hente det; det skal tilfalde den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken, for at HERREN din Gud kan velsigne dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for.
20 When thou beatest thy olive-tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again; for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow shall it be.
Naar du slaar dine Oliven ned, maa du ikke bagefter gennemsøge Grenene; den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken skal det tilfalde.
21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean the small fruit afterward; for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow shall it be.
Naar du høster din Vin, maa du ikke holde Efterhøst; den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken skal det tilfalde.
22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bond-man in the land of Egypt; therefore do I command thee to do this thing:
Kom i Hu, at du selv var Træl i Ægypten; derfor byder jeg dig at handle saaledes.
