Leviticus 25
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain,
Og HERREN talede til Moses på Sinaj Bjerg og sagde:
2 “Tell the Israelis [that I, Yahweh, say this]: When you enter the land that I am about to give you, every seventh year you must honor me by [not planting any seeds. You will be] allowing the ground to rest.
Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Når I kommer til det Land, jeg vil give eder, skal Landet holde Sabbatshvile for. HERREN.
3 For six years you are to plant seeds in your fields and prune your grapevines and harvest the crops.
Seks År skal du beså din Mark, og seks År skal du beskære din Vingård og indsamle Landets Afgrøde;
4 But the seventh/next year you must [dedicate] to me, and allow your fields to rest. Do not plant seeds in your fields or prune your grapevines [during that year].
men i det syvende År skal Landet have en fuldkommen Sabbatshvile, en Sabbat for HERREN; din Mark må du ikke beså, og din Vingård må du ikke beskære.
5 Do not reap [the grain] that grows in your fields without having been planted, or harvest the grapes that grow [without the vines being pruned]; you must allow the land to rest for that one year.
Det selvgroede efter din Høst må du ikke høste, og Druerne på de ubeskårne Vinstokke må du ikke plukke; det skal være et Sabbatsår for Landet.
6 But you are permitted to eat whatever crops grow by themselves during that year without having been planted. You and your male and female servants, and workers whom you have hired, and people who are living among you temporarily are permitted to eat it.
Hvad der gror af sig selv, medens Landet holder Sabbat, skal tjene eder til Føde, dig selv, din Træl og din Trælkvinde, din Daglejer og den indvandrede hos dig, dem, der bor som fremmede hos dig;
7 Also, [during that year] your livestock and the wild animals in your land are permitted to eat it.’
dit Kvæg og de vilde Dyr i dit Land skal hele Afgrøden tjene til Føde.
8 ‘Also, after every 49 years has ended, you must do this: (On the tenth day of the seventh month/At the end of September) [of the next/50th year], blow trumpets throughout the country, to declare that it will be a day on which you request that I forgive you for the sins that you have committed.
Og du skal tælle dig syv Årsabbater frem, syv Gange syv År, så de syv Årsabbater udgør et Tidsrum af ni og fyrretyve År.
Så skal du lade Alarmhornet lyde rundt om på den tiende Dag i den syvende Måned; på Forsoningsdagen skal I lade Hornet lyde rundt om i hele eders Land.
10 Set apart that year, and proclaim that throughout the country, it will be a year of restoring the land and freeing people: All the people [who sold their property] will receive back the property that they previously owned, and slaves must be (freed/allowed to return to [their property and] their families).
Og I skal hellige det halvtredsindstyvende År og udråbe Frigivelse i Landet for alle Indbyggerne; et Jubelår skal det være eder; enhver af eder skal vende tilbage til sin Ejendom, og enhver af eder skal vende tilbage til sin Slægt;
11 That year will be a Year of Celebration; [during that year] do not plant anything, and do not harvest [in the usual way] the grain/wheat that grows without having been planted, or the grapes that grow without the vines being pruned.
et Jubelår skal dette År, det halvtredsindstyvende, være eder; I må ikke så og ikke høste, hvad der gror af sig selv i det, eller plukke Druer af de ubeskårne Vinstokke;
12 It will be a Year of Celebration, so eat [only] what grows in the fields (by itself/without any work being done to produce anything).
thi det er et Jubelår, helligt skal det være eder; I skal spise, hvad Marken bærer af sig selv.
13 ‘In that Year of Celebration, everyone must return to their own property.
I Jubelåret skal enhver af eder vende tilbage til sin Ejendom.
14 ‘If you sell some of your land to a fellow Israeli or if you buy some land from one of them, you must treat that person fairly:
Når du sælger din Næste noget eller køber noget af ham, må I ikke forurette hinanden.
15 If you buy land, the price that you will pay will depend on the number of years there will be until the next Year of Celebration. If someone sells land to you, he will charge a price that is determined by the number of years until the next Year of Celebration.
Når du køber noget af din Næste, skal der regnes med Årene siden sidste Jubelår; når han sælger dig noget, skal der regnes med Afgrøderne indtil næste Jubelår.
16 If there will be many years before the next Year of Celebration, the price will be higher; if there will be only a few years until the next Year of Celebration, the price will be lower. [You could say that] what he is really selling you is the number of crops [which you can harvest before the next Year of Celebration].
Jo flere År der er tilbage, des højere må du sætte Prisen, jo færre, des lavere, thi hvad han sælger dig, er et vist Antal Afgrøder.
17 Do not cheat each other; instead, revere me. I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who am commanding this].
Ingen af eder må forurette sin Næste; du skal frygte din Gud, thi jeg er HERREN din Gud!
18 ‘Obey all my laws [DOU] carefully. If you do that, you will continue to live safely in your country [DOU].
I skal gøre efter mine Anordninger og holde mine Lovbud, så I gør efter dem; så skal I bo trygt i Landet,
19 And crops will grow well on the land, and you will have plenty to eat.
og Landet skal give sin Frugt, så I kan spise eder mætte og bo trygt deri.
20 But you may ask, “If we do not plant or harvest our crops during the seventh year, what will we have to eat?”
Men når I siger: "Hvad skal vi da spise i det syvende År, når vi hverken sår eller indsamler vor Afgrøde?"
21 [My answer is that] I will bless you very much during the sixth/previous year, with the result that during that year there will be enough crops to provide food for you for three years!
så vil jeg opbyde min Velsignelse til Bedste for eder i det sjette År, så det bærer Afgrøde for de tre År;
22 Then, after you plant seed during the eighth/next year [and wait for the crops to grow], you will eat the food grown in the sixth year, and continue to eat it until more food is harvested in the ninth year!
i det ottende År skal I så, men I skal leve af gammelt Korn af den sidste Afgrøde indtil det niende År; indtil dets Afgrøde kommer, skal I leve af gammelt Korn.
23 ‘You must not sell any of your land to belong to someone else permanently, because the land [is not yours, it]; is really mine, and you are only living on it temporarily and (farming/taking care of) it for me.
Jorden i Landet må I ikke sælge uigenkaldeligt; thi mig tilhører Landet, I er kun fremmede og indvandrede hos mig;
24 Throughout the country that you will possess, you must remember that if someone sells some of his land to you, he is permitted to buy it back from you [if he wants to].
overalt i det Land, I får i Eje, skal I sørge for, at Jorden kan indløses.
25 ‘So, if one of your fellow Israelis becomes poor and sells some of his property [to obtain some money], the person who is most closely related to him is permitted to come and buy that land for him.
Når din Broder kommer i Trang, så han må sælge noget af sin Ejendom, skal hans nærmeste Slægtning melde sig som Løser for ham og indløse, hvad hans Broder har solgt.
26 However, if a man has no one to buy the land for him, and he himself prospers again and saves enough money to buy that land back,
Hvis en ingen Løser har, men selv bliver i Stand til at skaffe den fornødne Løsesum,
27 he must calculate how many years there will be until the next Year of Celebration. Then he must pay to the man who bought the land the money that he would have earned by continuing to grow crops on that land for those years.
skal han udregne, hvor mange År der er gået siden Salget, og kun tilbagebetale Manden der købte det, for den Tid, der er tilbage, og derpå igen overtage sin Ejendom.
28 But if the original owner does not have any money to buy the land that he sold, it will continue to belong to the man who bought it, until the next Year of Celebration. In that year it must be returned to its original owner, and he will be able to live on it again.
Er han derimod ikke i Stand til at skaffe den fornødne Sum til Tilbagebetalingen, så skal det, han har solgt, blive i Køberens Eje til Jubelåret; men i Jubelåret bliver det frit, så han atter kan overtage sin Ejendom.
29 ‘If someone who lives in a city that has a wall around it sells a house there, during the next year he will be permitted to buy it from the man who bought it.
Når en Mand sælger et Beboelseshus i en By med Mure om, gælder hans Indløsningsret kun et fuldt År efter Salget; hans Indløsningsret gælder et År.
30 If he does not buy it during that year, it will belong permanently to the man who bought it and to his descendants. It must not be returned to the original owner in the Year of Celebration.
Hvis derfor Indløsning ikke har fundet Sted, før et fuldt År er omme, går Huset i Byen med Mure om uigenkaldeligt over i Køberens og hans Efterkommeres Eje; det bliver ikke frit i Jubelåret.
31 But houses that are in villages that do not have walls around them are considered to be as though they are in a field. So if someone sells one of those houses, he is permitted to buy it back at any time. And [if he does not buy it], it must be returned to him in the Year of Celebration.
Derimod henregnes Huse i Landsbyer, der ikke er omgivne af Mure, til Marklandet; for dem gælder Indløsningsretten, og i Jubelåret bliver de fri.
32 ‘If any descendants of Levi sell their houses in the towns in which they live, they are permitted to buy them back at any time.
Men med Hensyn til Leviternes Byer, Husene i de Byer, der tilhører dem, da gælder der en ubegrænset Indløsningsret for Leviterne;
33 And because the houses in their towns are on land that [was given to them by] other Israelis, that land will become theirs again in the Year of Celebration [if they do not buy it back before then].
og når en af Leviterne ikke gør sin Indløsningsret gældende, bliver Huset, han solgte, i de Byer, der tilhører dem, frit i Jubelåret, thi Husene i Leviternes Byer er deres Ejendom blandt Israeliterne.
34 But the pastureland near their towns must not be sold. It must belong to the original owners permanently/forever.
Heller ikke må Græsmarkerne, der hører til deres Byer, sælges, thi de tilhører dem som evigt Eje.
35 ‘If one of your fellow Israelis becomes poor and is unable to buy what he needs [IDM], others of you must help him like you would help a foreigner who is living among you [DOU] temporarily.
Når din Broder i dit Nabolag kommer i Trang og ikke kan bjærge Livet, skal du holde ham oppe; som fremmed og indvandret skal han leve hos dig.
36 [If you lend money to him], do not charge any kind of interest [DOU]. Instead, [show by what you do that you] revere me, your God, and help that man, in order that he will be able to continue to live among you.
Du må ikke tage Rente eller Opgæld af ham, men du skal frygte din Gud og lade din Broder leve hos dig;
37 If you lend him money, do not charge interest; and if you sell food to him, [charge him only what you paid for it]; do not get a profit from it.
du må ikke låne ham Penge mod Renter eller give ham af din Føde mod Opgæld.
38 [Do not forget that] I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God and to give you the land of Canaan, [and I did not charge you for doing that].
Jeg er HERREN eders Gud, som førte eder ud af Ægypten for at give eder Kana'ans Land, for at være eders Gud.
39 ‘If one of your fellow Israelis becomes poor and sells himself to you, do not force him to work like a slave.
Når din Broder i dit Nabolag kommer i Trang og han må sælge sig selv til dig, må du ikke lade ham arbejde som Træl,
40 Treat him like you treat workers that you hire or like someone who is living on your land temporarily. But he must work for you [only] until the Year of Celebration.
men han skal være hos dig som Daglejer eller indvandret; han skal arbejde hos dig til Jubelåret.
41 During that year, you must free him, and he will go back to his family and to the property that his ancestors owned.
Da skal han gives fri sammen med sine Børn og vende tilbage til sin Slægt og sine Fædres Ejendom,
42 [It is as though] you Israelis are my slaves/servants, whom I [freed from being slaves] in Egypt. So none of you should be sold to become slaves.
thi mine Trælle er de, som jeg førte ud af Ægypten; de må ikke sælges, som man sælger Trælle.
43 And do not treat the Israelis whom you buy cruelly; instead, revere me, your God.
Du må ikke bruge din Magt over ham med Hårdhed; du skal flygte din Gud.
44 ‘If you want to have slaves, you are permitted to buy them from nearby countries.
Men har du Brug for Trælle og Trælkvinder, skal du købe dem af de Folkeslag, der bor rundt om eder;
45 You are also permitted to buy some of the foreigners who are living among you, and members of their clans that were born in your country. Then you will own them.
også af Børnene efter de indvandrede, der bor som fremmede hos eder, må I købe og af deres Familier, som er hos eder, og som de har avlet i eders Land; de må blive eders Ejendom,
46 They will be your slaves for the remaining years of your life, and after you die, it is permitted for your children to own them. But you must not act in brutal ways toward your fellow Israelis.
og dem må I lade gå i Arv og Eje til eders Børn efter eder; dem må I bruge som Trælle på Livstid; men over Israeliterne, eders Brødre, må du ikke bruge din Magt med Hårdhed, Broder over Broder.
47 ‘If a foreigner who is living among you [DOU] becomes rich, and if one of your fellow Israelis becomes poor and sells himself to that foreigner or to a member of his clan/family,
Når en fremmed eller en indvandret hos dig kommer til Velstand, og en af dine Brødre i hans Nabolag kommer i Trang, og han må sælge sig til den fremmede eller den indvandrede hos dig eller til en Efterkommer af en fremmeds Slægt,
48 it is permitted for someone to pay for him to be freed. It is permitted for one of his relatives to pay for him to be released:
så gælder Indløsningsretten for ham efter Salget; en af hans Brødre må indløse ham,
49 An uncle or a cousin or another relative in his clan may pay for him to be released. Or, if he prospers [and gets enough money], he is permitted to pay for his own release.
eller også må hans Farbroder eller Fætter eller en anden kødelig Slægtning af hans Familie indløse ham; han må også indløse sig selv, hvis han får Evne dertil.
50 The man who wants to pay for his own release must count the number of years until the next Year of Celebration. The price he pays to the man who bought him will depend on the pay that would be given to a hired worker for that number of years.
Da skal han sammen med den, der købte ham, udregne Tiden fra det År, han solgte sig til ham, til Jubelåret, og Købesummen skal svare til det Åremål; hans Arbejdstid hos ham skal regnes som en Daglejers.
51 If there are a lot of years that remain until the Year of Celebration, he must pay for his release a larger amount of the money.
Er der endnu mange År tilbage, skal han i Løsesum udrede den tilsvarende Del af Købesummen.
52 If there are only a few years that remain until the Year of Celebration, he must pay a smaller amount to be released.
Og er der kun få År tilbage til Jubelåret, skal han regne dermed og udrede sin Løsesum i Forhold til de År, han har tilbage.
53 During the years that he is working for the man who bought him, the man who bought him must treat him like he would treat a hired worker, and all of you must make sure that his owner does not treat him cruelly.
Som en År for År lejet Daglejer skal han være hos ham; du må ikke roligt se på, at Køberen bruger sin Magt over ham med Hårdhed.
54 ‘And even if a fellow Israeli who has sold himself to a rich man is not able to pay for himself to be freed by any of these ways, he and his children must be freed in the Year of Celebration,
Men indløses han ikke på en af disse Måder, skal han frigives i Jubelåret, både han selv og hans Børn.
55 because [it is as though] you Israelis are my slaves/servants, whom I, Yahweh your God, freed from [being slaves in] Egypt.’”
Thi mig tilhører Israeliterne som Trælle; mine Trælle er de, thi jeg førte dem ud af Ægypten. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
