Deuteronomy 24
1 When a man takes a wife, and marries her, then it shall be, if she find no favor in his eyes, because he has found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a bill of divorce, and give it in her hand, and send her 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 When she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
saa maa hun efter at have forladt hans Hjem gaa hen og gifte sig med en anden Mand;
3 If the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorce, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, who took her to be his wife;
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 her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and you shall not cause the land to sin, which the LORD your God gives you 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 takes a new wife, he shall not go out in the army, neither shall he be assigned any business: he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he has 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 the mill or the upper millstone to pledge; for he takes a life in 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 of his brothers of the children of Israel, and he deal with him as a slave, or sell him; then that thief shall die: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
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 Be careful in a case of leprous disease, that you observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so you shall 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 your God did to Miriam, by the way as you came forth out of Egypt.
Kom i Hu, hvad HERREN din Gud gjorde ved Mirjam undervejs, da I drog bort fra Ægypten.
10 When you do lend your neighbor any kind of loan, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge.
Naar du yder din Næste et Laan, maa du ikke gaa ind i hans Hus for at tage Pant af ham.
11 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you do lend shall bring forth the pledge outside to you.
Du skal blive staaende udenfor, og den Mand, du yder Laanet, skal bringe Pantet ud til dig.
12 If he be a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge;
Hvis han er en fattig Mand, maa du ikke lægge dig til Hvile med hans Pant;
13 you shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless you: and it shall be righteousness to you before the LORD your 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 You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he be of your brothers, or of your foreigners who are in your land within your 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 in his day you shall give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down on it; for he is poor, and sets his heart on it: lest he cry against you to the LORD, and it be sin to you.
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 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be 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 shall not deprive the foreigner, or the fatherless of justice, nor take a widow's clothing in pledge;
Du maa ikke bøje Retten for den fremmede og den faderløse, og du maa ikke tage Enkens Klædning i Pant.
18 but you shall remember that you were a bondservant in Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you there: therefore I command 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 saaledes.
19 When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgot a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to get it: it shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your 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 you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Naar du slaar dine Oliven ned, maa du ikke bagefter gennemsøge Grenene; den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken skal det tilfalde.
21 When you harvest your vineyard, you shall not glean it after yourselves: it shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Naar du høster din Vin, maa du ikke holde Efterhøst; den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken skal det tilfalde.
22 You shall remember that you were a bondservant in the land of Egypt: therefore I command you to do this thing.
Kom i Hu, at du selv var Træl i Ægypten; derfor byder jeg dig at handle saaledes.
