3 Mosebok 20
1 Och Herren talade med Mose, och sade:
Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
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 Israeli people, ‘[This is what Yahweh says]: Any Israeli or any foreigner who is living in Israel who sacrifices any of his children to be an offering to the god Molech must be executed. The people of the town must kill him by throwing stones at him.
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 reject [IDM] such people and command that they no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
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 people of that man’s town ignore it when he kills one of his children to offer him as a sacrifice to Molech, and if they do not execute that person,
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 myself will punish that person and his family, and I will command that he no longer be able to associate with my people. And I will do the same thing to any others who do the same thing that he did to worship 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.
‘will reject [IDM] those who go to those who (consult/talk with) the spirits of dead people and fortune-tellers to seek advice from them. I will command that they no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
7 Derföre helger eder, och varer helige; ty jag är Herren edar Gud.
‘Set yourselves apart and be holy, because I, Yahweh your God, am holy, [and I want you to be like me].
8 Och håller mina stadgar, och görer dem; ty jag är Herren, den eder helgar.
Obey carefully [DOU] all my laws. I am Yahweh, the one will cause you to be 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.
‘If anyone curses his father or his mother, he must be executed. He himself will be responsible for his own death [MTY].
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.
‘If a man commits adultery with some other man’s wife, both of them, the man and the woman, must be executed.
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.
‘If a man has sex with [EUP] one of his father’s wives, he has disgraced his father. So both that man and that woman must be executed, they will be responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
12 Om någor ligger när sina sonahustru, så skola de både döden dö; förty de hafva gjort ena skam; deras blod vare öfver dem.
‘If a man has sex with [EUP] his daughter-in-law, both of them must be executed. What they have done is very perverse; and they will be responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
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.
‘If two men have sex together, they have done something detestable. They must both be executed, they will be responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
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.
‘If a man marries both a woman and her mother, that is a wicked thing. All three of them must be burned to death, in order that such a wicked practice will not [continue to be done] among you.
15 Om någor hafver skaffa med oskälig djur, han skall döden dö; och djuret skall man dräpa.
‘If a man has sex with an animal, he must be executed, and you must also kill that animal.
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.
‘[Similarly], if a woman has sex with an animal, both the woman and that animal must be killed [DOU]; they are responsible for their own deaths [MTY].
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.
‘If a man marries his sister, the daughter of either his mother or his father, and they have sex together, that is disgraceful. They must not be allowed to continue to associate with my people. And because he has disgraced his sister, he must be punished.
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.
‘If a man has sex with [EUP, DOU] a woman during her monthly menstrual period, they have both revealed why she was bleeding, so both of them must not be allowed to associate with my people any more.
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.
‘Do not have sex with the sister of either your father or your mother, because that would be disgracing someone who is a close relative. And you and the woman must both be punished.
20 Om någor ligger när sins faderbroders hustru, den hafver sins faderbroders blygd blottat; de skola bära deras synd; utan barn skola de dö.
‘If a man has sex [EUP] with his aunt, he has dishonored his uncle. I will punish both of them by causing them to die without having any 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.
‘If a man marries his brother’s wife [while his brother is still living], that is disgraceful. He has dishonored his brother; and they both will die without having any 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.
‘Obey all my laws/decrees [DOU] carefully, in order that you will not be forced to leave [MET] the land to which I am bringing you.
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.
Do not imitate/adopt the customs of the people of the land from which I will expel them as you advance. I hated them because they did all those 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 said to you, “You will take their land from them; I will give it to you to be yours, a land that is very fertile [IDM]. I am Yahweh your God, who has set you apart from the people of other nations.”
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 you must distinguish between birds and animals that are unacceptable to me and those that are acceptable to me. Do not defile yourselves by [eating] birds or animals, or anything that scurries across the ground, that I have said are unacceptable 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 must behave in ways that I consider to be holy, because I, Yahweh, am holy, and I have set you apart from the [ungodly people of other] nations to 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.
‘You must execute any man or woman among you who (consults/talks with) the spirits of dead people or who is a fortune-teller. Kill them by [throwing] stones at them; but they will be responsible for their own deaths.’”
