5 Mosebok 14
1 I ären Herrans edars Guds barn; skärer eder icke, och görer eder icke skallota öfver edart änne för någon dödan.
“We are people who belong to Yahweh our God. So, when people die, do not show that you are grieving by gashing/cutting yourselves or by shaving the hair on your foreheads [like the other people-groups do].
2 Ty du äst ett heligt folk Herranom dinom Gud, och Herren hafver utvalt dig, att du skall vara hans eget, utaf all folk som på jordene äro.
We belong to Yahweh alone. Yahweh chose us from all the other people-groups on the earth to be his special people.
3 Du skall ingen styggelse äta.
“Do not eat anything that [Yahweh] detests.
4 Men desse äro de djur, som I äta skolen: Fä, får, get, hjort,
The animals [whose meat] you are permitted to eat are cattle, sheep, goats,
5 Rå, buffel, stenbock, enhörning, urnöt, och elgen.
deer, gazelles, wild goats, antelopes, and mountain sheep.
6 Och all djur, som tveklöfvad äro, och idisla, skolen I äta.
Those are animals that have split hoofs and that also (chew their cuds/regurgitate their food [from their stomachs] to chew it again).
7 Men det skolen I icke äta, som idislar, och icke tveklöfvadt är: camelen, haran, cunilen. De som idisla, och icke tveklöfvad äro, de skola vara eder oren.
But there are other animals that chew their cuds that you must not eat. Those are camels, rabbits, and rock badgers. They chew their cuds, but their hooves are not split. So they are not acceptable for you to eat.
8 Svinet, ändock det tveklöfvadt är, så idislar det dock icke, det skall vara eder orent; af dess kött skolen I icke äta, och vid dess as skolen I icke komma.
Do not eat pigs. They are unacceptable for you to eat; their hooves are split, but they do not chew cud. Do not eat the meat of those animals; do not even touch their dead bodies.
9 Detta är det I äta skolen, utaf allt det i vattnet är: allt det som spol och fjäll hafver, det skolen I äta;
You are permitted to eat any fish that has scales and fins.
10 Men det som intet spol eller fjäll hafver, det skolen I icke äta; ty det är eder orent.
But anything else [that lives in the water] that does not have scales and fins, you must not eat, because [if you eat them], you will become unacceptable [to Yahweh].
11 Alla rena foglar äter.
“You are permitted to eat the flesh of any bird that is acceptable [to Yahweh].
12 Desse af dem äro de som I icke äta skolen: örnen, höken, falken,
But eagles, vultures, black vultures,
13 Fiskagjusen, gladan, gamen med sine art,
buzzards, all kinds of kites,
14 Och alla korpar med deras art,
all kinds of crows,
15 Strutsfoglen, ugglan, göken, sparfhöken med sine art,
ostriches, seagulls,
16 Stenugglan, ufven, flädermusen,
owls, hawks, falcons,
17 Rördrommen, storken, svanen,
pelicans, vultures that eat dead animals, cormorants,
18 Hägren, skrikan med sine art, vidhöfden, och svalan.
storks, herons, hoopoes, and bats, you must not eat.
19 Och alle foglar, som krypa, skola vara eder orene, och I skolen icke äta dem.
“All insects with wings [and which walk on the ground] are unacceptable [to Yahweh]; do not eat them.
20 De rena foglar skolen I äta.
But other insects with wings [and which hop along the ground] are acceptable to eat.
21 I skolen intet as äta. Främlingenom, som i dinom porte är, må du gifva det, att han det äter, eller sälj det enom främmande; ty du äst ett heligt folk Herranom dinom Gud. Du skall icke koka kidet, medan det ännu dir sina moder.
“Do not eat any animal that has died naturally, [because its blood has not been drained out]. You may allow foreigners who live among you to eat those things or you may sell them to other foreigners. But you belong to Yahweh our God; [and those who belong to him are not permitted to eat the meat of animals whose blood has not been drained out]. “You must not cook a young sheep or goat in its mother’s milk.”
22 Du skall all år afskilja tionden af allo dine säds frukt, som utaf dinom åker kommer;
“Once each year you must set apart (a tithe/10 percent) of all the crops that are produced/harvested in your fields.
23 Och skall äta den för Herranom dinom Gud, på det rum som han utväljer, att hans Namn der bo skall; nämliga af tionden utaf din säd, dino vine, dine oljo, och förstfödningen af ditt fä och din får; på det du skall lära frukta Herran din Gud i alla dina lifsdagar.
Take those things to the place that Yahweh our God will choose [for you to worship him]. There eat the tithes of your grain, your wine, your [olive] oil, and the meat of the firstborn male animals of your cattle and your sheep. Do this in order that you may learn to always revere Yahweh, [the one who has blessed you by giving you these things].
24 Om vägen är dig för lång, att du icke kan komma det dit, derföre att det rummet är dig för långt ifrå, som Herren din Gud utvalt hafver, att han vill låta sitt Namn bo der; ty Herren din Gud hafver välsignat dig;
If the place that Yahweh has chosen [for you to worship him] is very far from your home, with the result that you are not able to take there the tithes [of your crops] with which Yahweh has blessed you, do this:
25 Så sälj det allt för penningar, och tag penningarna i dina hand, och gack till det rum, som Herren din Gud utvalt hafver;
Sell [IDM] the tithes of your crops, wrap the money carefully [in a cloth], and take it with you to the place of worship that Yahweh has chosen.
26 Och köp för penningarna allt det din själ lyster, vare sig fä, får, vin, stark dryck, eller allt det din själ begärar; och ät det der för Herranom dinom Gud, och var glad, du och ditt hus.
There, [with that money], you may buy whatever you want to—beef or lamb or wine or fermented drinks. And there, in the presence of Yahweh, you and your families should eat [and drink] those things and be happy.
27 Och Leviten, som i dina portar är, honom skall du icke förlåta; förty han hafver ingen lott eller arf med dig.
But be sure to not neglect/forget [to help] the descendants of Levi who live in your towns, because they will not own any land.
28 Efter tre år skall du afsöndra all tiond af dine säd i det året, och skall lägga henne i dina portar.
“At the end of every three years, bring a tithe of all your crops that have been produced/harvested in that year and store it in your towns.
29 Så skall Leviten komma, som ingen lott eller arf hafver med dig; och främlingen, och den faderlöse, och enkan, som i dina portar äro, och äta, och mätta sig; på det Herren din Gud dig välsigna skall i alla dina händers gerningar, som du gör.
That food is for the descendants of Levi, because they do not have their own land, and for foreigners [who live among you], and for orphans and widows who live in your towns. They are permitted to come [to where the food is stored] and take what they need. Do that in order that Yahweh our God will bless you in everything that you do.”
