Exodus 22
1 "If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it, or sells it; he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
Naar nogen stjæler en Okse eller et Lam og slagter det eller sælger det, skal han betale fem Okser for Oksen og fire Lam for Lammet.
2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.
Om nogen Tyv bliver greben, idet han bryder ind, og bliver slagen og dør, skal ingen Bloddom udgaa for hans Skyld.
3 If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt of bloodshed for him; he shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
Men er Solen opgangen over ham, da skal Bloddom udgaa for hans Skyld. Tyven skal betale; men har han intet, da skal han sælges for sit Tyveri.
4 If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.
Dersom det stjaalne findes i hans Vold, hvad enten det er Okse eller Asen eller Lam, som er levende, skal han betale dobbelt.
5 "If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten, and lets his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field, he shall make restitution from his own field according to his produce; and if he shall have grazed over the whole field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.
Naar nogen lader afæde Ager eller Vingaard, idet han slaar sit Kvæg løs, og det afæder en andens Ager, da skal han betale af det bedste paa sin Ager og af det bedste i sin Vingaard.
6 "If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
Om Ild farer ud og griber fat i Torne, og Negene eller det staaende Korn eller Ageren ødelægges, da skal han, som antændte Branden, visselig betale.
7 "If a man delivers to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he shall pay double.
Om nogen flyr sin Næste Penge eller Tøj at forvare, og det bliver stjaalet af Mandens Hus, skal Tyven, hvis han findes, betale dobbelt.
8 If the thief isn't found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, to find out if he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods.
Men findes Tyven ikke, da skal Husbonden føres frem for Gud at vidne, at han ikke har lagt sin Haand paa sin Næstes Tøj.
9 For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, 'This is mine,' the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.
Hvad angaar al svigagtig Handel, om Okse, Asen, Lam, Klæder, om alt, hvad der er tabt, om hvilket nogen siger, at dette er hans, da skal begges Sag komme for Gud; hvem Gud siger at være skyldig, han skal betale sin Næste dobbelt.
10 "If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven away, no man seeing it;
Naar nogen flyr sin Næste Asen eller Okse eller Lam eller andet Kvæg at passe paa, og det dør, eller det kommer til Skade, eller det bortføres, og ingen ser det,
11 the oath of God shall be between them both, whether he hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
da skal Ed ved Herren være imellem dem begge, at han ikke har lagt sin Haand paa sin Næstes Gods, og den skal dets Ejermand tage for god, og den anden skal ikke betale.
12 But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner.
Men bliver det stjaalet fra ham, da skal han betale dets Ejermand det.
13 If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.
Men bliver det sønderrevet, da skal han føre det frem til et Vidnesbyrd; han skal ikke betale det, som er sønderrevet.
14 "If a man borrows anything of his neighbor's, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.
Og naar nogen laaner noget af sin Næste, og det kommer til Skade eller dør, da skal han, hvis Ejermanden ikke er til Stede, betale det.
15 If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.
Dersom dets Ejermand er derhos, da skal han ikke betale; dersom det er lejet, da regnes det for Lejen.
16 "If a man entices a virgin who isn't pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.
Og naar nogen lokker en Jomfru, som ikke er trolovet, og ligger hos hende, da skal han visselig give Morgengave for hende og tage sig hende til Hustru.
17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
Men om hendes Fader vægrer sig ved at give ham hende, da skal han tilveje Penge efter Morgengave for en Jomfru.
18 "You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
Du skal ikke lade en Troldkvinde leve.
19 "Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.
Hver som ligger hos et Dyr, skal visselig dødes.
20 "He who sacrifices to another god, except to Jehovah only, shall be utterly destroyed.
Hvo som ofrer til Guderne og ikke til Herren alene, skal være forbandet.
21 "You shall not wrong a foreigner, neither shall you oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Og du skal ikke plage en fremmed og ikke undertrykke ham; thi I have været fremmede i Ægyptens Land.
22 "You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.
I skulle ikke plage nogen Enke eller faderløs.
23 If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
Dersom du plager ham, og han raaber til mig, da skal jeg visselig høre hans Raab.
24 and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
Saa optændes min Vrede, og jeg ihjelslaar eder med Sværd, og eders Hustruer skulle blive Enker og eders Børn faderløse.
25 "If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor; neither shall you charge him interest.
Dersom du laaner mit Folk Penge, nemlig den fattige hos dig, da skal du ikke være ham som en Aagerkarl; I skulle ikke lægge Aager paa ham.
26 If you take your neighbor's garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,
Dersom du tager din Næstes Klædebon til Pant, da skal du give ham det igen, førend Solen gaar ned.
27 for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.
Thi det er hans eneste Skjul, det er hans Klædebon for hans Krop; deri ligger han; og det skal ske, naar han raaber til mig, da skal jeg høre det, thi jeg er naadig.
28 "You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
Du skal ikke bande Gud, og den øverste iblandt dit Folk skal du ikke ønske ondt over.
29 "You shall not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. "You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.
Du skal ikke tøve med at give mig af din Lades Fylde og din Vinperses Væde; du skal give mig den førstefødte af dine Sønner.
30 You shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. Seven days it shall be with its mother, then on the eighth day you shall give it to me.
Saaledes skal du gøre med din Okse og med dit Faar; det skal være syv Dage hos sin Moder, paa den ottende Dag skal du give mig det.
31 "You shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any flesh that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
Og I skulle være mig aldeles hellige Mennesker og ikke æde Kød, som er sønderrevet paa Marken; for Hunde skulle I kaste det.
