3 Mosebok 20
1 Och Herren talade med Mose, och sade:
The Lord told Moses,
2 Säg Israels barnom: Hvilken af Israels barn, eller en främling, som bor i Israel, gifver af sine säd Molech, han skall döden dö; folket i landena skall stena honom.
“Tell the Israelites: these regulations are for both Israelites and foreigners living among them. Anyone who sacrifices their children to Molech must be executed. The community must stone them to death.
3 Och jag skall sätta mitt anlete emot sådana mennisko, och skall utrota honom utu hans folk; derföre, att han af sine säd gifvit hafver Molech, och orenat min helgedom, och ohelgat mitt helga Namn.
I will disown them and expel them from their people, because by sacrificing their children to Molech they have polluted my sanctuary and disgraced my reputation.
4 Och om folket i landet se genom finger med de menniskone, som af sine säd hafver gifvit Molech, så att de icke dräpa honom;
If the community decides to look the other way and not execute those who sacrifice their children to Molech, then I will take action against them myself.
5 Så vill jag dock sätta mitt anlete emot den menniskon och emot hans slägt, och skall utrota honom, och alla de som efter honom med Molech hor bedrifvit hafva, utu deras folk.
I will disown them and their family, and expel them from their people—and not just them, but everyone who follows them in spiritually prostituting themselves with Molech.
6 Om en själ vänder sig till spåmän och tecknatydare, så att hon hor bedrifver efter dem; så vill jag sätta mitt anlete emot den samma själen, och vill utrota henne utu hennes folk.
I will also disown and expel from their people anyone who goes to mediums or spiritists and in this way commits spiritual prostitution with them.
7 Derföre helger eder, och varer helige; ty jag är Herren edar Gud.
So dedicate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God.
8 Och håller mina stadgar, och görer dem; ty jag är Herren, den eder helgar.
Keep my rules and put them into practice. I am the Lord who makes you holy.
9 Den som bannar sin fader eller sina moder, han skall döden dö; hans blod vare öfver honom, att han sin fader eller moder bannat hafver.
Anyone who curses their father or mother must be executed. They have cursed their father or mother; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
10 Den som hor bedrifver med någors mans hustru, den skall döden dö, både horkarlen och horkonan; derföre, att han med sins nästas hustru hor bedrifvit hafver.
Any man who commits adultery with someone else's wife must be executed, as well as the woman.
11 Om någor ligger när sins faders hustru, så att han sins faders blygd blottat hafver, de skola både döden dö; deras blod vare öfver dem.
A man who has sex with his father's wife has brought shame on his father. Both the man and the woman must be executed. Both must surely be put to death; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
12 Om någor ligger när sina sonahustru, så skola de både döden dö; förty de hafva gjort ena skam; deras blod vare öfver dem.
A man who has sex with his daughter-in-law must be executed, as well as the woman. They have done something perverse; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
13 Om någor ligger när en dräng, såsom när ena qvinno, de hafva gjort en stygghet, och skola både döden dö; deras blod vare öfver dem.
Men who have sex with other men as with a woman have done something disgusting. They must be executed; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
14 Om någor tager en hustru, och hennes moder dertill, han hafver gjort en last; man skall bränna honom upp i elde, och de båda med, att ingen last blifver ibland eder.
A man who marries both a woman and her mother has acted perversely. They must all be burned to death so that there will be no such wickedness among you.
15 Om någor hafver skaffa med oskälig djur, han skall döden dö; och djuret skall man dräpa.
A man who has sex with an animal must be executed, and the animal must be killed too.
16 Om en qvinna låter sig in till något oskäligt djur, så att hon dermed hafver skaffa, den skall du dräpa, och djuret desslikes, Döden skola de dö; deras blod vare öfver dem.
A woman who gives herself to an animal to have sex with it must be executed, along with the animal. They must both be killed; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.
17 Om någor tager sina syster, sins faders dotter, eller sine moders dotter, och skådar hennes blygd, och hon åter hans blygd, det är en skam; de skola förgöras inför deras slägtes folk; ty han hafver blottat sine systers blygd. Han skall bära sina skuld.
A man who marries his sister, whether she's his father's daughter or his mother's daughter, and they have sex, has done something shameful. They must be expelled from their people in front of everybody. He has brought shame on his sister; he bears the responsibility for his punishment.
18 Om en man ligger när ena qvinno i hennes krankhets tid, och blottar hennes blygd, och upplåter hennes brunn, och hon blottar sins blods brunn; de skola både förgjorde varda utu deras folk.
A man who has sex with a woman having her period he has exposed where her blood flow comes from, and she has too. They must both be expelled from their people.
19 Dine modersysters blygd, och dine fadersysters blygd skall du icke blotta; ty en sådana hafver sina nästa blodsfränko blottat; och de skola bära deras skuld.
Don't have sex with your aunt, whether on your father or your mother's side, because it brings shame on your own family. Both will bear responsibility for their sin.
20 Om någor ligger när sins faderbroders hustru, den hafver sins faderbroders blygd blottat; de skola bära deras synd; utan barn skola de dö.
A man who has sex with his uncle's wife brings shame on his uncle. They will bear responsibility for their sin; they shall die without having children.
21 Om någor tager sins broders hustru, det är en skamlig gerning; de skola vara utan barn, derföre att han hafver sins broders blygd blottat.
A man who marries his brother's wife does something that is unclean. He has brought shame on his brother; the couple will have no children.
22 Så håller nu alla mina stadgar och mina rätter, och görer dem, på det landet icke utspyr eder, der jag eder införer, att I deruti bo skolen.
So keep all my rules and regulations, so that the land where I'm taking you to live won't vomit you out.
23 Och vandrer icke uti Hedningarnas stadgar, hvilka jag skall utdrifva för eder; ty allt sådant hafva de gjort, och jag hafver haft en styggelse vid dem.
Don't follow the practices of the nations I'm expelling for you. I detested them because they did all these evil things.
24 Men eder säger jag: I skolen besitta deras land; ty jag skall gifva eder ett land i arf, der mjölk och hannog uti flyter. Jag är Herren edar Gud, den eder afskiljt hafver ifrån annat folk;
But I have promised you that you will take over their land. I'm going to give it to you to own, a land that flows with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who has made you a distinctive people different from all others.
25 Att I ock skilja skolen den rena boskapen ifrå den orena; och orena foglar ifrå de rena; och icke orena edra själar på boskap, och foglar, och på allt det på jordene kryper, det jag eder afskiljt hafver, att det skall vara orent.
So make sure you observe the difference between clean and unclean animals and birds. Don't make yourselves unclean because of any animal or bird, or by anything that runs along the ground. I have made the difference clear: they are unclean for you.
26 Derföre skolen I vara mig helige; ty jag Herren är helig, den eder afskiljt hafver ifrån annat folk, att I skolen höra mig till.
You shall be holy to me because I am holy. I am the Lord, and I have made you a distinctive people different from all other nations. You belong to me.
27 Om någor man eller qvinna varda en spåman, eller en tecknatydare, de skola döden dö. Man skall stena dem; deras blod vare öfver dem.
Anyone, man or a woman, who is a medium or a spiritist must be executed. They are to be stoned to death; they bear the responsibility for their punishment.”
