Deuteronomy 22
1 “If you see some Israeli’s ox or sheep that has strayed away, do not act as though you did not see it. Take it back [to its owner].
Når du ser din Broders Okse eller Får løbe løse om, må du ikke undlade at tage dig af dem, men du skal bringe dem tilbage til din Broder.
2 But if the owner does not live near you, or if you do not know who the owner is, take the animal to your house. [It can stay with you] until the owner comes, searching for it. Then you must give the animal to him.
Og hvis din Broder ikke bor i Nærheden af dig, eller du ikke ved, hvis byret er, skal du tage det ind i dit Hus, og det skal være hos dig, indtil din Broder spørger efter det; så skal du give ham det tilbage.
3 You must do the same thing if you see a donkey, or a piece of clothing, or anything else that someone has lost. Do not refuse to do what you should do.
På samme Måde skal du forholde dig med hans Æsel, med hans Klæder og med alt, hvad der bliver borte for din Broder, når du finder det. Du må ikke undlade at tage dig af det.
4 “And if you see a fellow Israeli’s donkey or cow that has fallen down on the road, do not act as though you did not see it. Help the owner to lift the animal up [so that it can stand on its feet again].
Når du ser din Broders Okse eller Æsel styrte på Vejen, må du ikke undlade at tage dig af dem, men du skal hjælpe ham med at få dem op.
5 “Women must not wear men’s clothes, and men must not wear women’s clothes. Yahweh our God hates people who do things like that.
En kvinde må ikke bære Mandsdragt, og en Mand må ikke iføre sig Kvindeklæder; thi enhver, der gør det, er HERREN din Gud en Vederstyggelighed.
6 “If you happen to find a bird’s nest in a tree or on the ground, and the mother bird is sitting in the nest on its eggs or with the baby birds, do not take the mother bird [and kill it].
Når du på din Vej træffer på en Fuglerede i et Træ eller på Jorden med Unger eller Æg, og Moderen ligger på Ungerne eller Æggene, må du ikke tage Moderen sammen med Ungerne;
7 You are permitted to take the baby birds, but you must allow the mother bird to fly away. Do this in order that things will go well for you and that you will live for a long time.
Ungerne kan du tage, men Moderen skal du lade flyve, for at det må gå dig vel og du må få et langt Liv.
8 “If you build a new house, you must put a (railing/low wall) around the edge of the roof. If you do that, and if someone falls off the roof [and dies], (you will not be guilty of causing that person to die/his death [MTY] will not be your fault).
Når du bygger et nyt Hus, skal du sætte Rækværk om Taget, for at du ikke skal bringe Blodskyld over dit Hus, hvis nogen falder ned derfra.
9 “Do not plant any crop in the area where your grapevines are growing. If you do, you are not allowed to harvest the crops that you have planted or to harvest the grapes [to make wine from them].
Dut må ikke så to Slags Sæd i din Vingård, ellers hjemfalder det hele til Helligdommen, både Sæden, du såede, og Udbyttet af Vingården.
10 “Do not hitch together an ox and a donkey [for plowing your fields].
Du må ikke pløje med en Okse og et Æsel sammen.
11 “Do not wear clothing that is made by weaving together (wool and linen/two different kinds of thread).
Du må ikke bære Tøj, som er vævet både af Uld og Hør.
12 “[Twist threads together to] make tassels and sew/fasten them on the four bottom corners of your cloak.
Du skal sætte Kvaster i de fire Hjørner af din Kappe, som du hyller dig i.
13 “Suppose a man marries a young woman and has sex with her and later decides that he does not want her any more,
Når en Mand efter at have ægtet en Kvinde og søgt Samkvem med hende får Uvilje imod hende
14 and he says false things about her, and claims that she was not a virgin when he married her.
og siger hende skammelige Ting på og udspreder ondt Rygte om hende, idet han siger: "Jeg tog denne Kvinde til Ægte, men da jeg havde Samkvem med hende, fandt jeg ikke hos hende Tegnet på, at hun var Jomfru!"
15 If that happens, the young woman’s parents must take the sheet that was on the bed when that man and their daughter were married, which still has bloodstains on it, and show it to the elders of the city at the (gate of/central meeting place in) the city.
så skal den unge Kvindes Forældre bringe Jomfrutegnet hen til Byens Ældste i Byporten;
16 Then the father of the young woman must say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife. But now he says that he doesn’t want her any more.
og Pigens Fader skal sige til de Ældste: "Jeg gav denne Mand min Datter til Hustru, men han har fået Uvilje imod hende,
17 And he has falsely said that she was not a virgin when he married her. But look! Here is what proves that my daughter was a virgin! Look at the bloodstains on the sheet where they slept the night that they were married!’ And he will show the sheet to the elders.
og nu siger han hende skammelige Ting på og siger: Jeg har ikke hos din Datter fundet Tegnet på, at hun var Jomfru! Men her er Jomfrutegnet!" Og dermed skal de brede Klædet ud for Byens Ældste.
18 Then the elders of that city must take that man and whip him.
Da skal Byens Ældste tage Manden og revse ham;
19 They shall require that he pay a fine of 100 pieces of silver and give the money to the father of the young woman, because the man caused an Israeli young woman to be disgraced. Also, that woman must continue to live with him; she is his wife. He is not allowed to divorce her during the rest of his life.
og de skal pålægge ham en Bøde på hundrede Sekel Sølv og give den unge Kvindes Fader dem, fordi han udspredte ondt Rygte om en Jomfru i Israel. Og han skal beholde hende som Hustru og har ikke Lov til at skille sig fra hende, så længe han lever.
20 “But if what the man said is true, and there is nothing to prove that she was a virgin when he married her,
Men hvis Beskyldningen er sand, hvis den unge kvindes Jomfrutegn ikke findes,
21 they must take that young woman to the door of her father’s house. Then the men of that city must execute her by throwing stones at her. They must do that because she has done something in Israel that is very disgraceful, by having sex with some man [while she was still living] in her father’s house. By executing her like that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.
skal man føre hende hen foran hendes Faders Husdør, og Mændene i hendes By skal stene hende til Døde, fordi hun har begået en Udåd i Israel ved at bedrive Hor i sin Faders Hus. Således skal du udrydde det onde af din Midte.
22 “If a man is caught while he is having sex with another man’s wife, both of them must be executed. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice in Israel.
Når en Mand gribes i Samleje med en gift Kvinde, skal de begge dø, både Manden, der lå hos kvinden, og Kvinden selv. Således skal du udrydde det onde af Israel.
23 “Suppose in some town a man sees a young woman who is engaged/promised to be married to another man, and he is caught having sex with [EUP] her.
Når en Mand inde i Byen træffer en Jomfru, der er trolovet med en anden, og har Samleje med hende,
24 You must take both of them to the (gate of/central meeting place in) that town. There you must execute them both by throwing stones at them. You must execute the young woman because she did not shout for help even though she was in the town. And the man must be executed because he had sex [EUP] with someone who was already engaged/promised to be married. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.
skal I føre dem begge ud til Byens Port og stene dem til Døde, Pigen fordi hun ikke skreg om Hjælp i Byen, og Manden, fordi han krænkede sin Næstes Brud. Således skal du udrydde det onde af din Midte.
25 “But suppose out in the open countryside a man meets a young woman who is engaged/promised to be married, and he rapes her. If that happens, only that man must be executed.
Men hvis Manden træffer den trolovede Pige ude i det fri og tiltvinger sig Samleje med hende, skal kun Manden, der havde Samleje med hende, dø.
26 You must not punish the young woman, because she did not do anything for which she deserves to be executed. This case is like when one man attacks another man [in the countryside] and murders him,
Pigen derimod skal du ikke gøre noget; hun har ikke begået nogen Synd, som fortjener Døden; thi dermed er det, som når en overfalder sin Næste og slår ham ihjel;
27 because the man who raped her saw her when she was in the open countryside, and even though she called out for help, there was no one there who could rescue her.
han traf hende jo ude i det fri, og den trolovede Pige skreg, men ingen kom hende til Hjælp.
28 “If a man rapes a young woman who is not engaged/promised to be married, if someone sees him while he is doing that,
Når en Mand træffer en Jomfru, der ikke er trolovet, og tiltvinger sig Samleje med hende, og de gribes på fersk Gerning,
29 that man must pay 50 pieces of silver to the young woman’s father, and he must marry her, because he forced her to have sex with him. He is not allowed to divorce her for the rest of his life.
skal den Mand, der havde Samleje med hende, give Pigens Fader halvtredsindstyve Sekel Sølv og tage hende til Ægte, fordi han krænkede hende; og han har ikke Ret til at skille sig fra hende, så længe han lever.
30 “man must not disgrace his father by having sex with any of his father’s wives.”
Ingen må ægte sin Faders Hustru eller løfte sin Faders Tæppe.
