5 Mosebok 24
1 Når ein mann hev teke seg ei kona og ført henne heim, hender det at han ikkje kann lika henne, av di han hev funne noko ufyse hjå henne. Då skriv han kann henda eit skilsmålsbrev og gjev henne i hand, og sender henne or huset.
If a man takes a wife, and after they are married she is unpleasing to him because of some bad quality in her, let him give her a statement in writing and send her away from his house.
2 Dersom no ho, etter ho hev flutt ifrå honom, gjeng stad og gifter seg med ein annan,
And when she has gone away from him, she may become another man's wife.
3 og denne andre og fær uhug til henne, og gjev henne skilsmålsbrev, og sender henne frå seg, eller dersom den andre mannen hennar døyr,
And if the second husband has no love for her and, giving her a statement in writing, sends her away; or if death comes to the second husband to whom she was married;
4 so må ikkje den fyrste mannen, som hadde skilt seg med henne, taka henne til kona att, etter ho hev vorte urein; for slikt er avstyggjelegt i Herrens augo, og du skal ikkje føra synd yver det landet som Herren, din Gud, gjev deg til odel og eiga.
Her first husband, who had sent her away, may not take her back after she has been wife to another; for that is disgusting to the Lord: and you are not to be a cause of sin in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage.
5 Ein nygift mann skal ikkje fara ut i strid, og det må ikkje leggjast andre tyngslor på honom heller; han skal vera fri eit heilt år, til gagn for heimen sin og til hyggja for kona som han hev fenge.
A newly married man will not have to go out with the army or undertake any business, but may be free for one year, living in his house for the comfort of his wife.
6 Ingen må taka ei handkvern eller ein kvernstein i vissa; for då tek han livet i vissa.
No one is to take, on account of a debt, the stones with which grain is crushed: for in doing so he takes a man's living.
7 Kjem de yver ein mann som hev rana burt nokon av landsmennerne sine, av Israels-folket, og fer ille med honom eller sel honom, so skal ransmannen døy; soleis skal du rydja det vonde ut or lyden.
If a man takes by force one of his countrymen, the children of Israel, using him as his property or getting a price for him, that thief is to be put to death: so you are to put away evil from among you.
8 Tak dykk i vare for spillsykja! tak dykk vel i vare, og gjer som Levi-prestarne lærer dykk! Soleis som eg hev sagt deim fyre, lyt de leggja dykk vinn um å gjera.
In connection with the leper's disease, take care to keep and do every detail of the teaching of the priests, the Levites: as I gave them orders, so you are to do.
9 Kom i hug kva Herren, din Gud, gjorde med Mirjam då de var på vegen frå Egyptarland!
Keep in mind what the Lord your God did to Miriam on the way, when you came out of Egypt.
10 Når du låner ein noko, må du ikkje ganga inn i huset hans og taka det du skal hava i vissa.
If you let your brother have the use of anything which is yours, do not go into his house and take anything of his as a sign of his debt;
11 Du skal standa utanfor, og den du gjev lånet, skal sjølv koma ut til deg med vissa.
But keep outside till he comes out and gives it to you.
12 Er det ein fatigmann, so må du ikkje hava vissa hans hjå deg um natti;
If he is a poor man, do not keep his property all night;
13 du skal lata honom få henne att når soli glader, so han kann sova i kjolen sin; då vil han takka og velsigna deg, og Herren, din Gud, vil rekna deg det til rettferd.
But be certain to give it back to him when the sun goes down, so that he may have his clothing for sleeping in, and will give you his blessing: and this will be put to your account as righteousness before the Lord your God.
14 Du skal ikkje vera hard mot ein arbeidsmann som lid naud og er fatig, anten han høyrer til ditt eige folk, eller det er ein av dei framande som held til hjå dykk, i by eller bygd.
Do not be hard on a servant who is poor and in need, if he is one of your countrymen or a man from another nation living with you in your land.
15 Du skal gjeva honom løni si på dagen, og fyrr enn soli glader; for han er fatig, og stundar etter løni. Elles kunde han klaga deg for Herren, og du fekk synd på deg.
Give him his payment day by day, not keeping it back over night; for he is poor and his living is dependent on it; and if his cry against you comes to the ears of the Lord, it will be judged as sin in you.
16 Foreldre skal ikkje lata livet for det borni hev gjort, og born ikkje for det foreldri hev gjort; ingen skal lata livet for anna enn sine eige brot.
Fathers are not to be put to death for their children or children for their fathers: every man is to be put to death for the sin which he himself has done.
17 Du skal ikkje rengja retten for ein framand eller farlaus, og ikkje taka klædi åt ei enkja i vissa.
Be upright in judging the cause of the man from a strange country and of him who has no father; do not take a widow's clothing on account of a debt:
18 Kom i hug at du var træl i Egyptarland, men Herren, din Gud, fria deg ut derifrå. Difor forbyd eg deg å gjera sovore.
But keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God made you free: for this is why I give you orders to do this.
19 Når du køyrer inn lodi og gløymer att eit rauk på åkeren, skal du ikkje ganga attende etter det; du skal lata dei framande og farlause og enkjorne hava det; då skal Herren, din Gud, velsigna deg i alt du tek deg fyre.
When you get in the grain from your field, if some of the grain has been dropped by chance in the field, do not go back and get it, but let it be for the man from a strange land, the child without a father, and the widow: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on all the work of your hands.
20 Når du hev rist oljetrei, skal du ikkje leita etter frukt som kann ha vorte hangande på greinerne; den lyt dei framande og dei farlause og enkjorne få.
When you are shaking the fruit from your olive-trees, do not go over the branches a second time: let some be for the man from a strange land, the child without a father, and the widow.
21 Når du hev hausta vinhagen, skal du ikkje henta dei druvorne som att er; dei skal vera åt dei framande og dei farlause og enkjorne.
When you are pulling the grapes from your vines, do not take up those which have been dropped; let them be for the man from a strange land, the child without a father, and the widow.
22 Kom i hug at du var træl i Egyptarlandet! Difor er det eg segjer deg at du skal fara so.
Keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt: for this is why I give you orders to do this.
