Leviticus 19
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
2 “Speak to all the people of Israel and tell them this: You must be holy, because I, Yahweh your God, am holy, [and I want you to be like me].
Tal til al Israels Børns Menighed, og du skal sige til dem: I skulle være hellige; thi jeg Herren eders Gud er hellig.
3 ‘Each of you must respect your father and your mother. And you must (honor/treat respectfully) the Sabbath days. I am Yahweh, your God, [and that is what I am commanding you to do].
I skulle hver frygte sin Moder og sin Fader, og I skulle holde mine Sabbater; jeg er Herren eders Gud.
4 ‘Do not worship idols or make metal statues of gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh, your God, [and I am the only one you must worship].
I skulle ikke vende eders Ansigt til Afguderne og ikke gøre eder støbte Guder; jeg er Herren eders Gud.
5 ‘Then you bring an offering to maintain fellowship with me, offer it in a way that will cause me to accept it.
Og naar I ville slagte Takoffer for Herren, da skulle I ofre det til en Behagelighed for eder.
6 The meat should be eaten on the day that you sacrifice it, but you are permitted to eat some of it on the next day. Anything that remains until the third/next day must be completely burned.
Det skal ædes paa den Dag, I slagte det, og den næste Dag; men hvad som levnes til den tredje Dag, skal opbrændes med Ild.
7 For any of it to be eaten on the third day is very displeasing to me, and I will not accept that offering.
Men om noget deraf dog ædes paa den tredje Dag, da er det en Vederstyggelighed, det bliver ikke behageligt.
8 I will punish anyone who eats it [after the second day], because he will not have respected that what I say is holy. And that person must no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
Og hvo som æder det, skal bære sin Misgerning; thi han har vanhelliget, hvad der var Herren helliget; og den Sjæl skal udryddes fra sit Folk.
9 ‘Then you harvest your grain, leave the grain at the very edge of the field, and do not pick up the grain that has fallen on the ground.
Og naar I høste eders Lands Høst, da skal du ikke høste det yderste aldeles af paa din Ager, ikke heller skal du sanke nøje i din Høst.
10 And when you harvest your grapes, do not go back a second time to try to harvest some more, and do not pick up the grapes that have fallen on the ground. Leave those things for the poor people and for foreigners who are living among you. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding those things].
Du skal ikke heller sanke efter i din Vingaard, og ikke sanke de Bær, som ere nedfaldne i din Vingaard; du skal lade dem blive til den fattige og til den fremmede; jeg er Herren eders Gud.
11 ‘Do not steal anything. ‘Do not tell lies. ‘Do not deceive each other.
I skulle ikke stjæle, og I skulle ikke lyve, ej heller skal nogen af eder handle falskeligen mod sin Næste.
12 ‘Do not show that you do not respect me by using/saying my name to falsely promise that you will do something. [Do not forget that] I am Yahweh, your God.
Og I skulle ikke falskeligen sværge ved mit Navn, saa du vanhelliger din Guds Navn; jeg er Herren.
13 ‘Do not cheat anyone or steal from anyone. [‘If you have agreed to] pay your workers at the end of the day, [do what you have promised]; do not keep those wages until the next day.
Du skal ikke gøre din Næste Vold og ej røve, du skal ikke lade Daglønnerens Arbejdsløn blive hos dig Natten over indtil om Morgenen.
14 ‘Do not curse deaf people, and do not put things in the path of blind people to cause them to stumble.
Du skal ikke bande den døve, og ikke lægge Stød for den blinde; men du skal frygte din Gud; jeg er Herren.
15 ‘Always [LIT] judge people fairly [DOU]. Do not do special favors for either poor people or rich people.
I skulle ikke gøre Uret i Dommen, du skal ikke anse den ringes Person og heller ikke gøre Ære af den vældiges Person; men du skal dømme din Næste i Retfærdighed.
16 ‘Do not spread false rumors about other people. ‘Do not say anything [in court] that would result in some [innocent] person being executed. I, Yahweh, [am commanding this].
Du skal ikke gaa om som en Bagvasker iblandt dit Folk, du skal ikke staa efter din Næstes Blod; jeg er Herren.
17 ‘Do not hate anyone. Instead, honestly rebuke those who ought to be rebuked, in order that you also will not be guilty.
Du skal ikke hade din Broder i dit Hjerte; men du skal irettesætte din Næste, at du ikke skal bære Synd for hans Skyld.
18 ‘Do not try to get revenge against someone or be angry with someone for a long time. Instead, love other people like you love yourself. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding this].
Du skal ikke hævne dig selv, ej heller beholde Vrede imod dit Folks Børn, og du skal elske din Næste som dig selv; jeg er Herren.
19 ‘Obey my laws. ‘Do not allow two different kinds of animals to mate with each other. ‘Do not plant two different kinds of seed in the [same] field. ‘Do not wear clothing made from two different kinds of material.
I skulle holde mine Skikke; du skal ikke lade dit Kvæg parre sig med et af et andet Slags; du skal ikke besaa din Ager med to Slags Sæd; og Klæder af to Slags, vævet til sammen, skal ej komme paa dig.
20 ‘If a man has sex with a slave woman who has been promised to marry some other man, but she has not been bought by that man and is still a slave, the man who had sex with her must be punished. But because she is still a slave, she and the man who had sex with her must not be killed.
Og naar en Mand ligger hos en Kvinde og har Omgang med hende, og hun er en Tjenestepige, som er trolovet med en Mand, og hun ikke er løskøbt, eller ikke har faaet sin Frihed, da skal der ske en Hudstrygelse, men de skulle ikke dødes; thi hun var ikke frigiven.
21 However, that man must bring a ram to [be slaughtered at] the entrance of the Sacred Tent area, to be an offering in order that he no longer be guilty for his sin.
Men han skal føre sit Skyldoffer frem for Herren til Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør, en Væder til Skyldoffer.
22 The priest will offer that ram to me in order that the man will be forgiven for the sin that he committed, and I will forgive him.
Og Præsten skal gøre Forligelse for ham med Skyldofrets Væder, for Herrens Ansigt, for hans Synd, som han syndede; saa skal han faa Forladelse for sin Synd, som han syndede.
23 ‘When you enter the land [that I have promised to give to you], and when you plant various kinds of fruit trees, you must not eat any of their fruit for three years [DOU].
Og naar I komme ind i Landet og plante alle Haande Frugttræer, da skulle I agte deres Frugt, som om det var Forhud paa dem; i tre Aar skulle de agtes af eder som uomskaarne, der skal ikke ædes deraf.
24 In the fourth year all of their fruit must be set aside to belong to me; it must be brought to me to be an offering to praise me.
Og i det fjerde Aar skal al deres Frugt være helliget til Lovprisning for Herren.
25 But in the fifth/next year, you will be permitted to eat their fruit. If you do that, your trees will produce much fruit. I, Yahweh your God, [am promising that].
Men i det femte Aar maa I æde Frugten deraf, saa at I samle eder Grøden deraf; jeg er Herren eders Gud.
26 ‘Do not eat any meat that still has [the animal’s] blood in it. ‘Do not consult spirits to find out what will happen in the future, and do not practice sorcery.
I skulle ikke æde noget med Blodet; I skulle ikke spaa, ej heller være Dagvælgere.
27 ‘Do not shave the hair at the sides of your heads [like pagan people do].
I skulle ikke rundskære det yderste af eders Hovedhaar, ej heller skal du fordærve Kanten af dit Skæg.
28 ‘Do not cut your bodies [when you are mourning] for people who have died, and do not put tattoos on your bodies. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding this].
Og I skulle intet Indsnit gøre i eders Kød for en døds Skyld, ej heller sætte indbrændt Skrifttegn paa eder; jeg er Herren.
29 ‘Do not disgrace your daughters by forcing them to become prostitutes. If you cause them to become prostitutes, soon the land will be filled with prostitutes and all other kinds of people’s wicked behavior.
Du skal ikke vanhellige din Datter ved at lade hende bedrive Horeri, og Landet skal ikke bedrive Horeri, saa at Landet bliver fuldt af Skændsel.
30 ‘Honor my Sabbath days and revere my Sacred Tent, because I, Yahweh, [live there].
I skulle holde mine Sabbater, og I skulle frygte for min Helligdom; jeg er Herren.
31 ‘Do not seek advice from those who (consult/talk with) the spirits of dead people [DOU], because if you do that, they will defile you. I, Yahweh your God, [am the one you should consult].
I skulle ikke vende eder til Spaakvinder og ikke søge hen til Tegnsudlæggere, til at blive urene ved dem; jeg er Herren eders Gud.
32 ‘Stand up when old people [enter the room], and show that you respect them, and also revere me, your God; [that is what] I, Yahweh, [am commanding].
Du skal staa op for den graahærdede og hædre den gamle, og du skal frygte din Gud; jeg er Herren.
33 ‘When foreigners live among you [in your land], do not mistreat them.
Og naar en fremmed opholder sig hos dig i eders Land, da skulle I ikke forfordele ham.
34 You must treat them like you treat your fellow-citizens. Love them like you love yourselves, and do not forget that once, when you were foreigners in Egypt, [you were badly mistreated by the people of Egypt]. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding you to do this].
Den fremmede, som opholder sig hos eder, skal være eder som en indfødt af eder, og du skal elske ham som dig selv; thi I have været fremmede i Ægyptens Land; jeg er Herren eders Gud.
35 ‘When you are measuring things, to see how long they are or how much they weigh or how many there are,
I skulle ikke gøre Uret i Dommen, i Længdemaalet, i Vægten og i Hulmaalet.
36 use correct [measuring sticks and] scales and weights [on the scales] and measuring baskets and other measuring containers. I Yahweh, your God, who brought you out of Egypt, [am giving you these laws].
Rette Vægtskaaler, rette Vægtstene, ret Efa og ret Hin skulle I have. Jeg er Herren eders Gud, som udførte eder af Ægyptens Land.
37 ‘Obey carefully [DOU] all my laws and decrees, because I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding them].’”
Og I skulle holde alle mine Skikke og alle mine Bud og gøre dem; jeg er Herren.
