Deuteronomy 23
1 He who is emasculated by crushing or cutting shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly.
Ingen Gilding, enten han er bleven det ved Knusning eller ved Snit, maa komme i Herrens Forsamling.
2 A person born of a forbidden union shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one of his enter into the LORD’s assembly.
Intet Horebarn maa komme i Herrens Forsamling; endog i tiende Led maa ikke nogen af hans komme i Herrens Forsamling.
3 An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the LORD’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one belonging to them enter into the LORD’s assembly forever,
En Ammonit og en Moabit maa ikke komme i Herrens Forsamling; endog i tiende Led maa ikke nogen af dem komme i Herrens Forsamling evindelig;
4 because they didn’t meet you with bread and with water on the way when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.
for den Sags Skyld, at de ikke kom eder i Møde med Brød og med Vand paa Vejen, der I gik ud af Ægypten, og fordi han lejede Bileam, Beors Søn, af Pethor i Mesopotamien, imod dig til at forbande dig.
5 Nevertheless the LORD your God wouldn’t listen to Balaam, but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the LORD your God loved you.
Men Herren din Gud vilde ikke høre Bileam, og Herren din Gud vendte dig Forbandelsen til Velsignelse; thi Herren din Gud havde dig kær.
6 You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
Du skal ikke søge at fremme deres Fred eller deres Vel, alle dine Dage evindeligen.
7 You shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is your brother. You shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
Du skal ikke have Vederstyggelighed til en Edomit, thi han er din Broder; du skal ikke have Vederstyggelighed til en Ægypter, thi du har været fremmed i hans Land.
8 The children of the third generation who are born to them may enter into the LORD’s assembly.
De Børn, som de avle sig i det tredje Led, de maa komme i Herrens Menighed.
9 When you go out and camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves from every evil thing.
Naar du gaar ud af Lejren imod dine Fjender, da tag dig i Vare for al ond Handel.
10 If there is amongst you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens to him by night, then shall he go outside of the camp. He shall not come within the camp;
Naar der er en Mand iblandt eder, som ikke er ren for det, som ham kunde hændes om Natten, da skal han gaa ud uden for Lejren, han skal ikke komme ind i Lejren.
11 but it shall be, when evening comes, he shall bathe himself in water. When the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
Og hen imod Aften skal han bade sig i Vand, og naar Solen gaar ned, skal han komme ind i Lejren.
12 You shall have a place also outside of the camp where you go relieve yourself.
Og du skal have et Sted uden for Lejren, og der skal du gaa hen udenfor.
13 You shall have a trowel amongst your weapons. It shall be, when you relieve yourself, you shall dig with it, and shall turn back and cover your excrement;
Og du skal have en Spade foruden dine Vaaben; og naar du sætter dig derude, da skal du grave dermed og vende dig om og skjule det, som er gaaet fra dig.
14 for the LORD your God walks in the middle of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you. Therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.
Thi Herren din Gud vandrer midt i din Lejr for at udfri dig og at give dine Fjender hen for dit Ansigt; og din Lejr skal være hellig, saa at han ikke skal se nogen ublu Ting hos dig og vende sig bort fra dig.
15 You shall not deliver to his master a servant who has escaped from his master to you.
Du skal ikke overantvorde en Træl til sin Herre, naar han er undsluppen til dig fra sin Herre.
16 He shall dwell with you, amongst you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best. You shall not oppress him.
Hos dig skal han blive, i din Midte, paa det Sted, som han udvælger sig til Gode i en af dine Porte; du skal ikke forfordele ham.
17 There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
Der skal ingen af Israels Døtre være en Skøge, og ingen af Israels Sønner skal være en Skørlevner.
18 You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a male prostitute, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow; for both of these are an abomination to the LORD your God.
Du skal ikke bringe Skøgeløn eller Hundefortjeneste i Herren din Guds Hus efter noget Løfte; thi begge Dele er Herren din Gud en Vederstyggelighed.
19 You shall not lend on interest to your brother: interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest.
Du skal ikke tage Aager af din Broder, Pengeaager, Madaager eller Aager af nogen Ting, som der kan aagres med.
20 You may charge a foreigner interest; but you shall not charge your brother interest, that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to possess it.
Af en fremmed maa du tage Aager, men af din Broder maa du ikke tage Aager, at Herren din Gud maa velsigne dig i alt det, som du udrækker din Haand til i det Land, som du kommer hen til for at eje det.
21 When you vow a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not be slack to pay it, for the LORD your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
Naar du lover Herren din Gud et Løfte, da skal du ikke tøve med at betale det; thi Herren din Gud vil kræve det af dig, og det vil være dig en Synd.
22 But if you refrain from making a vow, it shall be no sin in you.
Men naar du lader være at love noget, skal det ikke være dig til Synd.
23 You shall observe and do that which has gone out of your lips. Whatever you have vowed to the LORD your God as a free will offering, which you have promised with your mouth, you must do.
Det, som er udgaaet af dine Læber, skal du holde og gøre, saaledes som du har lovet Herren din Gud frivilligen det, som du har talet med din Mund.
24 When you come into your neighbour’s vineyard, then you may eat your fill of grapes at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your container.
Naar du kommer i din Næstes Vingaard, da maa du æde Druer efter din Sjæls Lyst, til du er mæt; men du maa intet lægge i dit Kar.
25 When you come into your neighbour’s standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbour’s standing grain.
Naar du kommer i din Næstes staaende Korn, maa du plukke Aks med din Haand; men du maa ikke røre Seglen mod din Næstes staaende Korn.
