Deuteronomy 24
1 “When a man takes a wife and has married her, and it has been, if she does not find grace in his eyes (for he has found nakedness in her of anything), then he has written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house;
Når 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 when she has gone out of his house, and has gone and been another man’s,
så må hun efter at have forladt hans Hjem gå hen og gifte sig med en anden Mand;
3 and the latter man has hated her, and written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house, or when the latter man dies, who has taken her to himself for a wife,
får denne anden Mand også 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 her former husband who sent her away is not able to return to take her to be to him for a wife, after that she has become defiled; for it [is] an abomination before YHWH, and you do not cause the land to sin which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance.
så 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 må ikke bringe Brøde over det Land, HERREN din Gud vil give dig i Eje.
5 When a man takes a new wife, he does not go out into the host, and [one] does not pass over to him for anything; he is free at his own house [for] one year, and his wife, whom he has taken, he has made glad.
Når en Mand nylig har taget sig en Hustru, skal han ikke drage med i Krig, og der skal ikke pålægges ham nogen som helst Forpligtelse; han skal have Frihed til at blive hjemme et År og glæde sin Hustru, som han har ægtet.
6 No one takes millstones and rider in pledge, for it [is one’s] life he is taking in pledge.
Man må ikke tage en Håndkværn i Pant, heller ikke den øverste Møllesten; thi det var at tage Livet selv i Pant.
7 When a man is found stealing a person from his brothers, from the sons of Israel, and has tyrannized over him and sold him, then that thief has died, and you have put away evil out of your midst.
Når nogen gribes i at stjæle en af sine Brødre blandt Israelitterne og gør ham Fortræd eller sælger ham, da skal en sådan Tyv lade sit Liv. Du skal udrydde det onde af din Midte.
8 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, to watch greatly, and to do according to all that the priests, the Levites, teach you; you observe to do as I have commanded them;
Tag dig i Vare med Spedalskhed, så du meget omhyggeligt handler efter alt, hvad Levitpræsterne lærer eder; som jeg har påbudt dem, skal I omhyggeligt handle.
9 remember that which your God YHWH has done to Miriam in the way, in your coming out of Egypt.
Kom i Hu, hvad HERREN din Gud gjorde ved Mirjam undervejs, da I drog bort fra Ægypten.
10 When you lift up a debt of anything on your brother, you do not go into his house to obtain his pledge;
Når du yder din Næste et Lån, må du ikke gå ind i hans Hus for at tage Pant af ham.
11 you stand at the outside, and the man on whom you are lifting [it] up is bringing out the pledge to you at the outside.
Du skal blive stående udenfor, og den Mand, du yder Lånet, skal bringe Pantet ud til dig.
12 And if he is a poor man, you do not lie down with his pledge;
Hvis han er en fattig Mand, må du ikke lægge dig til Hvile med hans Pant;
13 you certainly give back the pledge to him at the going in of the sun, and he has lain down in his own raiment and has blessed you; and it is righteousness to you before your God YHWH.
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 står retfærdiggjort for HERREN din Guds Åsyn.
14 You do not oppress a hired worker, poor and needy, of your brothers or of your sojourner who is in your land within your gates;
Du må ikke forurette en nødlidende, fattig Daglejer, hvad enten han hører til dine Brødre eller de fremmede inden dine Porte nogetsteds i dit Land.
15 you give his hire in his day, and the sun does not go in on it, for he [is] poor, and he is supporting his life on it, lest he cries against you to YHWH, and it has been sin in you.
Dag for Dag skal du give ham hans Løn, så at Solen ikke går ned derover, thi han er nødlidende og venter med Længsel derpå. Ellers råber han til HERREN over dig, og du pådrager dig Skyld.
16 Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers—they are each put to death for his own sin.
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 You do not turn aside the judgment of a fatherless sojourner, nor take the garment of a widow in pledge;
Du må ikke bøje Retten for den fremmede og den faderløse, og du må ikke tage Enkens Klædning i Pant.
18 and you have remembered that you have been a servant in Egypt, and your God YHWH ransoms you from there; therefore I am commanding you 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 således.
19 When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in a field, you do not return to take it; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your hands.
Når du bjærger din Høst på din Mark og glemmer et Neg på Marken, må 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 you beat your olive, you do not examine the branch behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Når du slår dine Oliven ned, må du ikke bagefter gennemsøge Grenene; den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken skal det tilfalde.
21 When you cut your vineyard, you do not glean behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow;
Når du høster din Vin, må du ikke holde Efterhøst; den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken skal det tilfalde.
22 and you have remembered that you have been a servant in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.”
Kom i Hu, at du selv var Træl i Ægypten; derfor byder jeg dig at handle således.
