< Leviticus 25 >

1 YHWH said to Moses in Mount Sinai,
Og Herren talede til Mose paa Sinai Bjerg og sagde:
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to YHWH.
Tal til Israels Børn, og du skal sige til dem: Naar I komme til det Land, som jeg vil give eder, da skal Jorden hvile, det skal være en Sabbat for Herren.
3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruits;
Seks Aar skal du besaa din Mark, og seks Aar skal du skære din Vingaard, og du skal samle dens Grøde.
4 but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to YHWH. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.
Men i det syvende Aar skal være en Sabbats Hvile for Landet, det er en Sabbat for Herren; du skal ikke besaa din Mark og ej skære din Vingaard.
5 What grows of itself in your harvest you shall not reap, and the grapes of your undressed vine you shall not gather. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.
Hvad der vokser af din Høst af sig selv, skal du ikke høste, og ikke afplukke de Vindruer, som vokse uden dit Arbejde; det skal være et Hvileaar for Landet.
6 The Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for yourself, for your servant, for your maid, for your hired servant, and for your stranger, who lives as a foreigner with you.
Og hvad Landets Hvileaar frembringer, skal være for eder til Spise, for dig og for din Tjener og for din Tjenestepige og for din Daglønner og for den, som bor hos dig, de fremmede hos dig,
7 For your livestock also, and for the animals that are in your land, shall all its increase be for food.
og for dit Kvæg og for de vilde Dyr, som ere i dit Land, skal al dets Grøde være til at æde.
8 "'You shall count off seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and there shall be to you the days of seven Sabbaths of years, even forty-nine years.
Og du skal tælle dig syv Hvileaar, syv Aar syv Gange; og de syv Hvileaars Dage skulle være dig ni og fyrretyve Aar.
9 Then you shall sound the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land.
Og du skal lade en Basunklang lyde igennem Landet i den syvende Maaned paa den tiende Dag i Maaneden, paa Forligelsens Dag skulle I lade Basunen lyde igennem hele eders Land.
10 You shall make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee to you; and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.
Og I skulle holde det halvtredsindstyvende Aar helligt; og I skulle udraabe Frihed i Landet for alle dem, som bo deri; det skal være eder et Jubelaar, og I skulle komme tilbage, hver til sin Ejendom, og komme tilbage, hver til sin Slægt.
11 That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you. In it you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself, nor gather from the undressed vines.
Det halvtredsindstyvende Aar skal være eder et Jubelaar; I skulle ikke saa og ej høste det, som vokser af sig selv deri, og ikke afplukke det, som vokser uden Arbejde deri.
12 For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat of its increase out of the field.
Thi det er et Jubelaar, det skal være eder en Hellighed; I skulle æde, hvad Marken bærer af sig selv.
13 "'In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
I dette Jubelaar skulle I komme tilbage, hver til sin Ejendom.
14 "'If you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another.
Og naar du sælger din Næste noget eller køber af din Næstes Haand, skulle I ikke forfordele den ene den anden.
15 According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor. According to the number of years of the crops he shall sell to you.
Efter Aarenes Tal, som ere efter Jubelaaret, skal du købe af din Næste; efter Antallet, af de Aar, i hvilke der er Afgrøde, skal han sælge dig.
16 According to the length of the years you shall increase its price, and according to the shortness of the years you shall diminish its price; for he is selling the number of the crops to you.
Efter som Aarene ere mange til, skal du lade Købesummen derpaa formeres, og efter som Aarene ere faa til, skal du lade Købesummen derpaa formindskes; thi han sælger dig Afgrødernes Tal.
17 You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am YHWH your God.
Og I skulle ikke forfordele nogen sin Næste; men du skal frygte din Gud; thi jeg Herren er eders Gud.
18 "'Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.
Og I skulle gøre mine Skikke og holde mine Bud og gøre dem; saa skulle I bo tryggelig i Landet.
19 The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell in it in safety.
Og Landet skal give sin Frugt, at I skulle æde, til I mættes; og I skulle bo tryggelig deri.
20 If you said, "What shall we eat the seventh year? Look, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;"
Og naar I ville sige: Hvad skulle vi æde i det syvende Aar? se, vi skulle ikke saa og ej indsamle vor Grøde:
21 then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for the three years.
Da vil jeg i give min Velsignelse Befaling over eder i det sjette Aar, og det skal bære Grøde for de tre Aar.
22 You shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old store.
Og I skulle saa i det ottende Aar og æde af den gamle Afgrøde; indtil det niende Aar, indtil Afgrøden kommer deraf, skulle I æde det gamle.
23 "'The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me.
Og Landet skal ikke sælges med fuld Afhændelse, thi Landet hører mig til; thi I ere fremmede og Gæster hos mig.
24 In all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.
Og i al eders Ejendoms Land skulle I tilstede Løsning for Jorden.
25 "'If your brother becomes poor, and sells some of his possessions, then his kinsman who is next to him shall come, and redeem that which his brother has sold.
Naar din Broder bliver forarmet, at han sælger af sin Ejendom, saa skal hans Løser, som er ham næst paarørende, komme og løse det, hans Broder har solgt.
26 If a man has no one to redeem it, and he becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it;
Og naar nogen ikke har en Løser, og hans Haand formaar og finder saa meget, som er nok til at løse det for,
27 then let him reckon the years since its sale, and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return to his property.
da skal han beregne de Aar, siden han solgte det, og tilbagebetale det, som staar tilbage, til Manden, hvem han solgte det; saa skal han komme til sin Ejendom igen.
28 But if he isn't able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee: and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property.
Men dersom hans Haand ikke finder saa meget, som er nok til at tilbagebetale ham, da skal det, han har solgt, være i dens Vold, som købte det, indtil Jubelaaret; og i Jubelaaret skal det gives frit, og han skal komme til sin Ejendom igen.
29 "'If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it has been sold. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption.
Og naar nogen sælger et beboet Hus i en Stad, der har Mur, han har Ret til dets Løsning, indtil et helt Aar er forløbet, efter at han har solgt det; et Aar skal Løsningen deraf kunne ske.
30 If it isn't redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released in the Jubilee.
Men dersom det ikke bliver løst, førend det hele Aar er forløbet for ham, da skal Huset, som er i en Stad, der har Mur, overdrages med en fuld Afhændelse til ham, som købte det, for hans Efterkommere; det skal ikke gives frit i Jubelaaret.
31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall around them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country; they may be redeemed; and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
Men Husene i Landsbyerne, som ikke have Mur omkring, de skulle regnes ligesom en Ager paa Landet; der skal være Løsning for dem, og de skulle gives fri i Jubelaaret.
32 "'Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem forever.
Og hvad angaar Leviternes Stæder, Husene i deres Ejendoms Stæder, da maa der altid ske Løsning af Leviterne.
33 The Levites may redeem the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, and it shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
Og naar nogen af Leviterne løser noget, da skal det gives frit, hvad enten det er et solgt Hus eller hans Ejendoms Stad, i Jubelaaret; thi Husene i Leviternes Stæder ere deres Ejendom midt iblandt Israels Børn.
34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
Men Markens Jord, som hører til deres Stæder, skal ikke Sælges; thi den er dem en evig Ejendom.
35 "'If your brother has become poor, and his hand can't support him among you; then you shall uphold him. As a stranger and a sojourner he shall live with you.
Og naar din Broder forarmes, og hans Formue tager af hos dig, da skal du styrke ham, var han endog en fremmed og en Gæst, at han kan leve hos dig.
36 Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God; that your brother may live among you.
Du skal ikke tage Aager eller Overgift af ham, men du skal frygte din Gud, at din Broder kan leve hos dig.
37 You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit.
Du skal ikke fly ham dine Penge paa Aager, og du skal ikke fly ham din Mad paa Overgift.
38 I am YHWH your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
Jeg er Herren eders Gud, jeg som udførte eder af Ægyptens Land for at give eder Kanaans Land, for at være eders Gud.
39 "'If your brother has grown poor among you, and sells himself to you; you shall not make him to serve as a slave.
Og naar din Broder forarmes hos dig, og han sælges til dig, da skal du ikke lade ham tjene hos dig paa den Maade, som en Træl tjener.
40 As a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you until the Year of Jubilee:
Han skal være hos dig som en Daglønner, som en Gæst, han skal tjene hos dig indtil Jubelaaret.
41 then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers.
Da skal han udgaa fra dig, han og hans Børn med ham, og han skal vende tilbage til sin Slægt, og vende tilbage til sine Fædres Ejendom.
42 For they are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as slaves.
Thi de ere mine Tjenere, som jeg udførte af Ægyptens Land; de skulle ikke sælges, som en Træl sælges.
43 You shall not rule over him with harshness, but shall fear your God.
Du skal ikke strengelig regere over ham, men frygte din Gud.
44 "'As for your male and your female slaves, whom you may have; of the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves.
Og hvad angaar din Træl eller din Trælkvinde, saa skulle I af Hedningerne, som ere rundt omkring eder, købe Træl og Trælkvinde.
45 Moreover of the children of the strangers who sojourn among you, of them you may buy, and of their families who are with you, which they have conceived in your land; and they will be your property.
Ogsaa af deres Børn, som ere Gæster og fremmede iblandt eder, af dem skulle I købe, og af deres Slægt, som er hos eder, og som de have avlet i eders Land; og de skulle være eder til Ejendom.
46 You may make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession; of them may you take your slaves forever: but over your brothers the children of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness.
Og dem skulle I arvelig beholde for eders Børn efter eder, at de kunne eje dem til en Ejendom, de skulle tjene eder evindelig; men over eders Brødre af Israels Børn skal den ene ikke strengelig regere over den anden.
47 "'If a stranger or sojourner with you becomes rich, and your brother beside him has grown poor, and sells himself to the stranger or foreigner living among you, or to a member of the stranger's family;
Og naar en fremmeds eller Gæsts Haand hos dig formaar meget, og din Broder forarmes hos ham, saa at han sælger sig til den fremmede, som er Gæst hos dig, eller til en af en fremmed Slægt,
48 after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may redeem him;
da skal der, efter at han er solgt, være Ret for ham til Løsning; en af hans Brødre maa løse ham.
49 or his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any who is a close relative to him of his family may redeem him; or if he has grown rich, he may redeem himself.
Enten hans Farbroder eller hans Farbroders Søn maa løse ham, eller nogen af hans næste Slægt, af hans Slægtskab, maa løse ham; eller formaar hans Haand saa meget, da maa han løse sig selv.
50 He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he sold himself to him to the Year of Jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years; according to the time of a hired servant shall he be with him.
Og han skal regne med den, som købte ham, fra det Aar, i hvilket han solgtes til ham, indtil Jubelaaret; og Pengene, som han solgtes for, skulle bestemmes efter Aarenes Tal, som en Daglønners Dage skal Tiden, han var hos ham, agtes.
51 If there are yet many years, according to them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
Om der endnu er mange Aar tilbage, da skal han i Forhold til disse betale tilbage for sin Løsning af Pengene, han blev købt for.
52 If there remain but a few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according to his years of service he shall give back the price of his redemption.
Men om der er faa Aar tilbage, indtil Jubelaaret, da skal han regne med ham, i Forhold til sine Aar skal han betale tilbage for sin Løsning.
53 As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him: he shall not rule with harshness over him in your sight.
Ligesom en Daglønner Aar for Aar skal han være hos ham; han skal ikke strengelig regere over ham for dine Øjne.
54 If he isn't redeemed by these means, then he shall be released in the Year of Jubilee, he, and his children with him.
Men dersom han ikke kan løses paa disse Maader, da skal han gives fri i Jubelaaret, han og hans Børn med ham.
55 For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. I am YHWH your God.
Thi Israels Børn ere mine Tjenere, ja de ere mine Tjenere, som jeg udførte af Ægyptens Land; jeg er Herren eders Gud.
