Deuteronomy 23
1 “Any man whose testicles are crushed or whose penis is cut off shall not be (included as one of/allowed to worship with) Yahweh’s people.
Ingen, der er gildet ved Knusning eller Snit, har Adgang til HERRENS Forsamling.
2 “No (illegitimate person/person whose mother and father were not married), or descendant of that person, extending to the tenth generation, shall be included as one of Yahweh’s people.
Ingen, som er født i blandet Ægteskab, har Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling; end ikke i tiende Led har hans Afkom Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling.
3 “No one from the Ammon or Moab people-groups shall be (included as one of/allowed to worship with) Yahweh’s people, extending to the tenth generation.
Ingen Ammonit eller Moabit har Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling; end ikke i tiende Led har deres Afkom nogen Sinde Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling,
4 One reason is that their [leaders] refused to give your ancestors food and water when they were traveling from Egypt [to Canaan]. Another reason is that they wanted to pay Balaam, the son of Beor from Pethor [town] in Mesopotamia, to curse you Israelis.
fordi de ikke kom eder i Møde med Brød eller Vand undervejs, da I drog bort fra Ægypten, og fordi han lejede Bileam, Beors Søn, fra Petor i Aram Nabarajim, imod dig til at forbande dig;
5 But Yahweh our God did not pay attention to Balaam; instead, he caused Balaam to bless your ancestors, because Yahweh loved them.
men HERREN din Gud vilde ikke høre på Bileam, og HERREN din Gud forvandlede Forbandelsen til Velsignelse, fordi HERREN din Gud elskede dig.
6 As long as Israel is a nation, you must not do anything to cause things to go well for those two people-groups or enable them to prosper.
Du skal aldrig i Evighed bekymre dig om deres Velfærd og Lykke!
7 “But do not despise anyone from the Edom people-group, because they are [descendants of your ancestor Jacob], just like you are. And do not despise people from Egypt, because [they treated your ancestors well when] they first lived in Egypt.
Derimod må du ikke afsky Edomiterne, thi det er dine Brødre. Heller ikke Ægypterne må du afsky, thi du har levet som fremmed i deres Land.
8 The children and grandchildren of people from Edom and Egypt [who live among you] may be (included among/allowed to worship with) Yahweh’s people.”
Deres Efterkommere må have Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling i tredje Led.
9 “When your soldiers are living in tents at a time of fighting your enemies, they must avoid doing things that would make them unacceptable to God.
Når du går i Krig mod dine Fjender og lægger dig i Lejr, så vogt dig for alt, hvad der er utilbørligt.
10 If any soldier becomes unacceptable to God because semen comes out of his body during the night, [the next morning] he must go outside the camp and stay there during that day.
Findes der nogen hos dig, der på Grund af en natlig Hændelse ikke er ren, skal han gå uden for Lejren, han må ikke komme ind i Lejren;
11 But in the evening of that day, he must bathe himself, and at sunset he is allowed to come back into the camp.
når det lakker mod Aften, skal han tvætte sig med Vand, og når Solen går ned, må han atter komme ind i Lejren.
12 “Your soldiers must have a toilet area outside the camp where you can go [when you need to].
Du skal have en afsides Plads uden for Lejren, hvor du kan gå for dig selv;
13 [When you go to fight against your enemies], carry a stick along with your weapons, in order that when you need to defecate [EUP], you can dig a hole with the stick, and then cover up the hole [when you have finished defecating].
og du skal have en Pind i dit Bælte, og når du sætter dig derude, skal du med den grave et Hul og bagefter tildække dine Udtømmelser.
14 You must keep the camp acceptable to Yahweh our God, because he is with you in your camp to protect you and to enable you to defeat your enemies. Do not do anything disgraceful/indecent that would cause Yahweh to abandon you.”
Thi HERREN din Gud drager med midt i din Lejr for at hjælpe dig og give dine Fjender i din Magt; derfor skal din Lejr være hellig, for at han ikke skal se noget hos dig, der vækker Væmmelse, og vende sig fra dig.
15 “If slaves who escape from their masters come to you [and request you to protect them], do not send them back to their masters.
Du må ikke udlevere en Træl til hans Herre, når han er flygtet fra sin Herre og søger Tilflugt hos dig.
16 Allow them to stay/live among you, in whatever town they choose, and do not mistreat them.
Han må tage Ophold i din Midte på det Sted, han selv vælger, inden dine Porte, hvor han helst vil være, og du må ikke gøre ham Men.
17 “Do not [allow] any Israeli man or woman [to] become a prostitute at the temple.
Ingen af Israels Døtre må være Skøge, og ingen af Israels Sønner må være Mandsskøge.
18 Also, do not allow any people who earned money from being a prostitute to bring any of that money into the temple of Yahweh our God, even if they solemnly promised to pay that money to Yahweh. Yahweh hates those who are prostitutes.
Du må ikke for at opfylde et Løfte bringe Skøgefortjeneste eller Hundeløn til HERREN din Guds Hus; thi begge dele er HERREN din Gud en Vederstyggelighed.
19 “When you lend money or food or anything else to a fellow Israeli, do not charge them interest.
Du må ikke tage Rente af din Broder, hverken af Penge, Fødevarer eller andet, som man kan tage Rente af.
20 You are allowed to charge interest when you lend money to foreigners [who live in your land], but not when you lend money to Israelis. Do this in order that Yahweh our God will bless you in everything that you do in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
Af Udlændinge må du tage Rente, men ikke af din Broder, hvis HERREN din Gud skal velsigne dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for i det Land, du skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.
21 “When you vow to give something to Yahweh your God [or to do something for him], do it as soon as you can. Yahweh expects you to do what you promised, and if you do not do it, you will be committing a sin.
Når du aflægger et Løfte til HERREN din Gud, må du ikke tøve med at indfri det; thi ellers vil HERREN din Gud kræve det af dig, og du vil pådrage dig Skyld.
22 But if you [SYN] do not vow [to do something], that is not sinful.
Men hvis du undlader at aflægge Løfter, pådrager du dig ingen Skyld.
23 But if you voluntarily promise to do something, you must do it.
Hvad du engang har sagt, skal du holde, og du skal gøre, hvad du frivilligt har lovet HERREN din Gud, hvad du har udtalt med din Mund.
24 “When you walk through someone else’s vineyard, you are allowed to [pick and] eat as many grapes as you want, but you must not [cut some from a vine and carry them away] in a container.
Når du kommer ind i din Næstes Vingård, må du spise alle de Druer, du har Lyst til, så du bliver mæt; men du må ingen komme i din Kurv.
25 When you walk [along a path] in someone else’s field of grain, you are allowed to pluck/pick some of the grain and eat it, but you must not cut any grain with a sickle [and take it with you].”
Når du går igennem din Næstes Sæd, må du plukke Aks med din Hånd, men du må ikke komme til din Næstes Sæd med Segl.
