Deuteronomy 24
1 “Suppose a man marries a woman and later decides that he does not want her because there is something about her that he doesn’t like. And suppose he writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he gives the paper to her [SYN] and sends her away from his house.
Når ein mann hev teke seg ei kona og ført henne heim, hender det at han ikkje kann lika henne, av di han hev funne noko ufyse hjå henne. Då skriv han kann henda eit skilsmålsbrev og gjev henne i hand, og sender henne or huset.
2 Then suppose that she goes and marries another man,
Dersom no ho, etter ho hev flutt ifrå honom, gjeng stad og gifter seg med ein annan,
3 and that man [later also] decides that he does not like her, and he also writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he sends her away from his house. Or, suppose that the second husband dies.
og denne andre og fær uhug til henne, og gjev henne skilsmålsbrev, og sender henne frå seg, eller dersom den andre mannen hennar døyr,
4 If either of those things happens, her first husband must not marry her again. He must consider that she has become unacceptable to Yahweh. Yahweh would consider it to be disgusting [if he married her again]. You must not sin [MTY] by doing that in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
so må ikkje den fyrste mannen, som hadde skilt seg med henne, taka henne til kona att, etter ho hev vorte urein; for slikt er avstyggjelegt i Herrens augo, og du skal ikkje føra synd yver det landet som Herren, din Gud, gjev deg til odel og eiga.
5 “When some man has recently become married, he must not [be required to] become a soldier in the army or be required to do any other work [for the government] for one year [after being married]. He should stay happily at home with his wife for that year.
Ein nygift mann skal ikkje fara ut i strid, og det må ikkje leggjast andre tyngslor på honom heller; han skal vera fri eit heilt år, til gagn for heimen sin og til hyggja for kona som han hev fenge.
6 “Anyone who lends money to someone else [is allowed to require that person to give him something] to guarantee [that he will pay back the money that he borrowed. But] he must not take from him his (millstone/stone for grinding grain). That would be taking [the millstone that his family needs to grind the grain to make the bread] they need to stay alive.
Ingen må taka ei handkvern eller ein kvernstein i vissa; for då tek han livet i vissa.
7 “If someone kidnaps/steals a fellow Israeli to cause that person to become his slave or to sell him [to become someone else’s slave], you must execute the person who did that. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil among you.
Kjem de yver ein mann som hev rana burt nokon av landsmennerne sine, av Israels-folket, og fer ille med honom eller sel honom, so skal ransmannen døy; soleis skal du rydja det vonde ut or lyden.
8 “If you are suffering from (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease), be sure to do everything that the priests, who are from the tribe of Levi, tell you to do. Obey carefully the instructions that I have given to them.
Tak dykk i vare for spillsykja! tak dykk vel i vare, og gjer som Levi-prestarne lærer dykk! Soleis som eg hev sagt deim fyre, lyt de leggja dykk vinn um å gjera.
9 Do not forget what Yahweh our God did to Miriam, [when she became a leper], after your ancestors left Egypt.
Kom i hug kva Herren, din Gud, gjorde med Mirjam då de var på vegen frå Egyptarland!
10 “When you lend something to someone, do not go into his house to take the cloak that he says that he will give you to guarantee [that he will return what he has borrowed].
Når du låner ein noko, må du ikkje ganga inn i huset hans og taka det du skal hava i vissa.
11 Stand outside his house, and the man to whom you are lending something will bring the cloak out to you.
Du skal standa utanfor, og den du gjev lånet, skal sjølv koma ut til deg med vissa.
12 But if he is poor, do not keep that cloak all night.
Er det ein fatigmann, so må du ikkje hava vissa hans hjå deg um natti;
13 When the sun sets, take the cloak back to him, in order that he may wear it while he sleeps. If you do that, he will [ask God to] bless you, and Yahweh our God will be pleased with you.
du skal lata honom få henne att når soli glader, so han kann sova i kjolen sin; då vil han takka og velsigna deg, og Herren, din Gud, vil rekna deg det til rettferd.
14 “Do not mistreat any servants whom you have hired who are poor and needy [DOU], whether they are Israelis or foreigners who are living in your town.
Du skal ikkje vera hard mot ein arbeidsmann som lid naud og er fatig, anten han høyrer til ditt eige folk, eller det er ein av dei framande som held til hjå dykk, i by eller bygd.
15 Every day, before sunset, you must pay/give them the money that they have earned. They are poor and they need to get their pay. If you do not pay them right away, they will cry out against you to Yahweh, and he will punish [MTY] you for having sinned like that.
Du skal gjeva honom løni si på dagen, og fyrr enn soli glader; for han er fatig, og stundar etter løni. Elles kunde han klaga deg for Herren, og du fekk synd på deg.
16 “Parents must not be executed for crimes that their children have committed, and children must not be executed for crimes that their parents have committed. People should be executed only for the crimes that they themselves have committed.
Foreldre skal ikkje lata livet for det borni hev gjort, og born ikkje for det foreldri hev gjort; ingen skal lata livet for anna enn sine eige brot.
17 “You must [LIT] do for foreigners [who live] among you and for orphans what the laws state must be done for them. And [if you lend something to] a widow, do not take her coat from her as a guarantee [that she will return it].
Du skal ikkje rengja retten for ein framand eller farlaus, og ikkje taka klædi åt ei enkja i vissa.
18 Do not forget that [you had great hardships/troubles when] you were slaves in Egypt, and Yahweh our God rescued you from there. That is why I am commanding you [to help others who have troubles].
Kom i hug at du var træl i Egyptarland, men Herren, din Gud, fria deg ut derifrå. Difor forbyd eg deg å gjera sovore.
19 “When you harvest your crops, if you have forgotten [that you left] one bundle in the field, do not go back to get it. [Leave it there] for foreigners, orphans, and widows. If you do that, Yahweh will bless you in everything that you do.
Når du køyrer inn lodi og gløymer att eit rauk på åkeren, skal du ikkje ganga attende etter det; du skal lata dei framande og farlause og enkjorne hava det; då skal Herren, din Gud, velsigna deg i alt du tek deg fyre.
20 And when you have harvested/picked all your olives from the trees once, do not go back [to pick the ones that are still] on the trees.
Når du hev rist oljetrei, skal du ikkje leita etter frukt som kann ha vorte hangande på greinerne; den lyt dei framande og dei farlause og enkjorne få.
21 [Similarly], when you pick the grapes in your vineyard, do not go back a second time [to try to find more]. Leave them for the foreigners, orphans, and widows [among you].
Når du hev hausta vinhagen, skal du ikkje henta dei druvorne som att er; dei skal vera åt dei framande og dei farlause og enkjorne.
22 Do not forget that [Yahweh was kind to you when] you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I am commanding you [to be kind to those who are needy].”
Kom i hug at du var træl i Egyptarlandet! Difor er det eg segjer deg at du skal fara so.
