Deuteronomy 25
1 “If [two] Israelis have a dispute and they go to a court, the judge will [probably] decide/declare that one of them (is innocent/did not do any wrong) and the other one is guilty.
Når folk som ligg i trætta med kvarandre, møter fram for retten, og fær dom i saki, og domen lyder so, at den eine hev rett og den andre hev urett,
2 If the judge says that the guilty person must be punished, he shall command him to lie [with his face] on the ground and be whipped. The number of times he is struck with a whip will depend on [what kind of] crime he committed.
og at den som hev urett, skal hava hogg, so skal dei leggja honom ned, og domaren skal sjå på at dei gjev honom so mange slag som svarar til brotet han hev gjort.
3 It is permitted that he be struck as many as 40 times, but no more than that. If he is struck more than 40 times, he would be humiliated publicly.
Fyrti slag kann dei slå honom, ikkje fleire; for gjev dei honom mange fleire slag, vert han ærelaus for dykk.
4 When your ox is treading/walking on the grain [to separate the chaff from the grain], do not (muzzle it/put a covering on its mouth) [to prevent it from eating some of the grain].
Du skal ikkje setja muleband på ein ukse som du treskjer med.
5 If two brothers live on the same property, and one of them who has no son dies, the man’s widow should not marry someone who is not a member of his family. The dead man’s brother must marry her and have sex [EUP] with her. It is his duty to do that.
Når brør bur i hop, og ein av deim døyr sonlaus, då må ikkje enkja etter den avlidne gifta seg ut or ætti og taka ein framand til mann; men verbror hennar skal festa henne, og taka henne til kona, og bu i hop med henne i staden for bror sin.
6 If she later gives birth to a son, that son is to be considered [MTY] the son of the man who died, in order that the dead man’s name will not disappear from Israel.
Og den fyrste sonen ho fær, skal kallast for son åt den avlidne broren, so ikkje namnet hans skal døy ut i Israel.
7 “But if the dead man’s brother does not want to marry that woman, she must stand at the (gate/central meeting place) of the town and say to the [town] elders, ‘My husband’s brother will not do (his duty/what he is supposed to do). He refuses to [marry me in order that I may give birth to a son who will] prevent my dead husband’s name from disappearing in Israel.’
Men hev ikkje verbroren hug til å gifta seg med enkja, so skal ho ganga fram på tinget for styresmennerne og segja: «Verbror min neittar å reisa upp att namnet åt bror sin i Israel; han vil ikkje gifta seg med meg.»
8 Then the elders must summon that man and talk to him. If he still refuses to marry that widow,
Då skal styresmennerne i heimbygdi hans kalla honom fyre seg, og telja for honom; og stend han endå på det at han ikkje vil hava brorkona si,
9 she must go up to him while the elders are watching, and take off one of his sandals [to symbolize/show that he would not receive any of her property], and spit in his face, and say to him, ‘This is what happens to the man who refuses to do what is needed [to allow his dead brother to have a son] in order that our family name does not disappear.’
so skal ho ganga burt til honom so styresmennerne ser på det, og draga skoen av foten hans, og sputta honom i andlitet og segja desse ordi: «So skal ein fara åt med den som ikkje vil byggja upp att huset åt bror sin.»
10 After that happens, that man’s family will be known as ‘the family of the man whose sandal was pulled off’.
Og sidan skal dei i Israel kalla ætti hans «Skolausarne».
11 When [two] men are fighting with each other, and the one man’s wife comes near to help her husband by grabbing hold of the other man’s genitals,
Når menner ryk i hop og slæst, og kona åt ein av dei spring burtåt og vil hjelpa mannen sin, og so grip den som slær honom, i blygsli,
12 do not act mercifully toward her; cut off her hand.
då skal du hogga av henne handi, og ikkje tykkja synd i henne.
13 “[When you are buying or selling things], do not try to cheat people by having two kinds of weights, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something], and two kinds of measuring baskets, [one which you use when you buy something and one which you use when you sell something].
Du skal ikkje hava tvo slag vegtlodd i taska di, sume større og sume mindre.
Du skal ikkje hava tvo slag skjeppemål i huset ditt, eit større og eit mindre.
15 Always use correct weights and correct measuring baskets, in order that Yahweh our God will allow you to live a long time in the land that he is giving to you.
Rett og gild vegt og rett og gildt mål skal du hava. Då skal du få liva lenge i det landet som Herren, din Gud, gjev deg.
16 Yahweh hates all those who act dishonestly, [and he will punish them].
For Herren, din Gud hev stygg til alle som gjer sovore, alle som gjer urett.
17 Continue to remember what the Amalek people-group did to your ancestors when they were coming out of Egypt.
Kom i hug korleis amalekitarne for åt med dykk då de var på ferdi frå Egyptarland,
18 They attacked your ancestors as your ancestors were traveling, when they were weak and exhausted. Those people were not afraid of God at all, so they attacked your ancestors from the rear and killed all those who were unable to walk as fast as the others.
korleis dei kom yver dykk på vegen, medan de var trøytte og mode, og hogg ned deim som for attarst i heren dykkar, alle deim som var veike og hadde gjeve seg etter; so lite ottast dei Gud!
19 Therefore, when Yahweh our God has given you the land [that he promised to give you], and when he has enabled you to rest from [fighting] all your enemies around you, kill all the Amalek people-group, with the result that no one will remember them any more. Do not forget [to do this]!”
Og når du er komen til det landet som Herren, din Gud, gjev deg til odel og eiga, og han hev gjeve deg fred for alle fiendar dine rundt ikring, då skal du rydja ut or verdi alt som Amalek heitar; gløym ikkje det!
