Deuteronomy 24
1 When a man takes a wife and marries her, if she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some unsuitable thing in her, then he must write her a certificate of divorce, put it into her hand, and send her out of his house.
Når en Mand tager en Kvinde til Ægte, og hun ikke vinder hans Yndest, fordi han finder noget ved hende, der vækker Ubehag hos ham, og han skriver hende et Skilsmissebrev og giver hende det i Hænde og sender hende ud af sit Hjem,
2 When she has gone out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
så må hun efter at have forladt hans Hjem gå hen og gifte sig med en anden Mand;
3 If the second husband hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it into her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the second husband dies, the man who took her to be his wife—
får denne anden Mand også Uvilje imod hende og skriver hende et Skilsmissebrev og giver hende det i Hænde og sender hende ud af sit Hjem, eller dør den anden Mand, der havde taget hende til Ægte,
4 then her former husband, the one who had first sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has become impure; for that would be an abomination to Yahweh. You must not cause the land to become guilty, the land that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance.
så har hendes første Mand, som havde sendt hende bort, ikke Ret til igen at tage hende til Hustru, efter at hun er blevet uren. Thi det er HERREN en Vederstyggelighed, og du må ikke bringe Brøde over det Land, HERREN din Gud vil give dig i Eje.
5 When a man takes a new wife, he will not go to war with the army, neither may he be commanded to go on any forced duty; he will be free to be at home for one year and will cheer his wife whom he has taken.
Når en Mand nylig har taget sig en Hustru, skal han ikke drage med i Krig, og der skal ikke pålægges ham nogen som helst Forpligtelse; han skal have Frihed til at blive hjemme et År og glæde sin Hustru, som han har ægtet.
6 No man may take a mill or an upper millstone as a pledge, for that would be taking a person's life as a pledge.
Man må ikke tage en Håndkværn i Pant, heller ikke den øverste Møllesten; thi det var at tage Livet selv i Pant.
7 If a man is found kidnapping any of his brothers from among the people of Israel, and treats him as a slave and sells him, that thief must die; and you will remove the evil from among you.
Når nogen gribes i at stjæle en af sine Brødre blandt Israelitterne og gør ham Fortræd eller sælger ham, da skal en sådan Tyv lade sit Liv. Du skal udrydde det onde af din Midte.
8 Take heed regarding any plague of leprosy, so that you carefully observe and follow every instruction given to you which the priests, the Levites, teach you; as I commanded them, so you will act.
Tag dig i Vare med Spedalskhed, så du meget omhyggeligt handler efter alt, hvad Levitpræsterne lærer eder; som jeg har påbudt dem, skal I omhyggeligt handle.
9 Call to mind what Yahweh your God did to Miriam as you were coming out of Egypt.
Kom i Hu, hvad HERREN din Gud gjorde ved Mirjam undervejs, da I drog bort fra Ægypten.
10 When you make your neighbor any kind of loan, you must not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
Når du yder din Næste et Lån, må du ikke gå ind i hans Hus for at tage Pant af ham.
11 You will stand outside, and the man to whom you have lent will bring the pledge outside to you.
Du skal blive stående udenfor, og den Mand, du yder Lånet, skal bringe Pantet ud til dig.
12 If he is a poor man, you must not sleep with his pledge in your possession.
Hvis han er en fattig Mand, må du ikke lægge dig til Hvile med hans Pant;
13 You must surely restore to him the pledge by the time the sun goes down, so that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; it will be righteousness for you before Yahweh your God.
ved Solnedgang skal du give ham Pantet tilbage, for at han kan lægge sig til Hvile i sin Kappe. Da velsigner han dig derfor, og du står retfærdiggjort for HERREN din Guds Åsyn.
14 You must not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is of your fellow Israelites, or of the foreigners who are in your land within your city gates;
Du må ikke forurette en nødlidende, fattig Daglejer, hvad enten han hører til dine Brødre eller de fremmede inden dine Porte nogetsteds i dit Land.
15 Each day you must give him his wage; the sun must not go down on this unsettled matter, for he is poor and is counting on it. Do this so that he does not cry out against you to Yahweh, and so that it not be a sin that you have committed.
Dag for Dag skal du give ham hans Løn, så at Solen ikke går ned derover, thi han er nødlidende og venter med Længsel derpå. Ellers råber han til HERREN over dig, og du pådrager dig Skyld.
16 The parents must not be put to death for their children, neither must the children be put to death for their parents. Instead, everyone must be put to death for his own sin.
Fædre skal ikke lide Døden for Børns Skyld, og Børn skal ikke lide Døden for Fædres Skyld. Enhver skal lide Døden for sin egen Synd.
17 You must not use force to take away the justice that is due the foreigner or the fatherless, nor take the widow's cloak as a pledge.
Du må ikke bøje Retten for den fremmede og den faderløse, og du må ikke tage Enkens Klædning i Pant.
18 Instead, you must call to mind that you were a slave in Egypt, and that Yahweh your God rescued you from there. Therefore I instruct you to obey this command.
Men kom i Hu, at du var Træl i Ægypten, og at HERREN din Gud udløste dig derfra. Derfor byder jeg dig at handle således.
19 When you reap your harvest in your field, and if you have forgotten an omer of grain in the field, you must not go back to get it; it must be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, or for the widow, so that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
Når du bjærger din Høst på din Mark og glemmer et Neg på Marken, må du ikke vende tilbage for at hente det; det skal tilfalde den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken, for at HERREN din Gud kan velsigne dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for.
20 When you shake your olive tree, you must not go over the branches again; it will be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, or for the widow.
Når du slår dine Oliven ned, må du ikke bagefter gennemsøge Grenene; den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken skal det tilfalde.
21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you must not glean it again. What is left over will be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Når du høster din Vin, må du ikke holde Efterhøst; den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken skal det tilfalde.
22 You must call to mind that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I instruct you to obey this command.
Kom i Hu, at du selv var Træl i Ægypten; derfor byder jeg dig at handle således.
