3 Mosebog 18
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, 'I am Yahweh your God.
3 Som de handler i Ægypten, hvor I opholdt eder, maa I ikke handle, og som de handler i Kana'ans Land, hvor jeg fører eder hen, maa I ikke handle; I maa ikke vandre efter deres Anordninger.
You must not do the things that the people do in Egypt, where you lived previously. You must not do the things that the people do in Canaan, the land to which I am taking you. Do not follow their customs.
4 Efter mine Lovbud skal I handle, og mine Anordninger skal I holde, saa I vandrer efter dem; jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
My laws are what you must do, and my commandments are what you must keep, so that you walk in them, because I am Yahweh your God.
5 I skal holde mine Anordninger og Lovbud; det Menneske, der handler efter dem, skal leve ved dem. Jeg er HERREN!
Therefore you must keep my decrees and my laws. If a person obeys them, he will live because of them. I am Yahweh.
6 Ingen af eder maa komme sine kødelige Slægtninge nær, saa han blotter deres Blusel. Jeg er HERREN!
No one must sleep with any close relative to uncover his nakedness. I am Yahweh.
7 Din Faders og din Moders Blusel maa du ikke blotte; hun er din Moder, du maa ikke blotte hendes Blusel!

8 Din Faders Hustrus Blusel maa du ikke blotte, det er din Faders Blusel.
Do not sleep with any of your father's wives; you must not dishonor your father like that.
9 Din Søsters Blusel, hvad enten hun er din Faders eller din Moders Datter, hvad enten hun er født i eller uden for Hjemmet, hendes Blusel maa du ikke blotte.
Do not sleep with any sister of yours, whether she is the daughter of your father or the daughter of your mother, whether she was raised at your home or distant from you. You must not sleep with your sisters.
10 Din Sønnedatters eller Datterdatters Blusel maa du ikke blotte, det er din egen Blusel.
Do not sleep with your son's daughter or with your daughter's daughter. That would be your own shame.
11 En Datter, din Faders Hustru har med din Fader hun er din Søster hendes Blusel maa du ikke blotte.
Do not sleep with your father's wife's daughter, who was born of your father. She is your sister, and you must not sleep with her.
12 Din Fasters Blusel maa du ikke blotte, hun er din Faders kødelige Slægtning.

16 Din Broders Hustrus Blusel maa du ikke blotte, det er din Broders Blusel.
Do not sleep with your brother's wife; do not dishonor him in this way.
17 En Kvindes og hendes Datters Blusel maa du ikke blotte, heller ikke maa du ægte hendes Sønnedatter eller Datterdatter, saa at du blotter hendes Blusel; de er hendes kødelige Slægtninge; det er grov Utugt.
Do not sleep with a woman and her daughter, or with her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter. They are close relatives to her, and sleeping with them would be wicked.
18 Søster maa du ikke tage til Søsters Medhustru, saa længe Søsteren lever, saa du blotter baade den enes og den andens Blusel.
You must not marry your wife's sister as a second wife and sleep with her while your first wife is alive.
19 Du maa ikke komme en Kvinde nær under hendes maanedlige Urenhed, saa du blotter hendes Blusel.

20 Med din Næstes Hustru maa du ikke have Samleje, saa du bliver uren ved hende.
Do not sleep with your neighbor's wife and defile yourself with her in this way.
21 Dit Afkom maa du ikke give hen til at ofres til Molok; du maa ikke vanhellige din Guds Navn. Jeg er HERREN!
You must not give any of your children to put them into the fire, so that you sacrifice them to Molech, because you must not profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.
22 Hos en Mand maa du ikke ligge, som man ligger hos en Kvinde; det er en Vederstyggelighed.
Do not sleep with other men as with a woman. This would be wicked.
23 Med intet som helst Dyr maa du have Omgang, saa du bliver uren derved; en Kvinde maa ikke stille sig hen for et Dyr til kønslig Omgang; det er en Skændsel.
Do not sleep with any animal and defile yourself with it. No woman must consider sleeping with any animal. This would be perversion.
24 Gør eder ikke urene med noget saadant, thi med alt saadant har de Folkeslag, jeg driver bort foran eder, gjort sig urene.
Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for in all these ways the nations are defiled, the nations that I will drive out from before you.
25 Derved blev Landet urent, og jeg straffede det for dets Brøde, og Landet udspyede sine Indbyggere.
The land became defiled, so I punished their sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.
26 Hold derfor mine Anordninger og Lovbud og øv ikke nogen af disse Vederstyggeligheder, det gælder baade den indfødte og den fremmede, der bor iblandt eder —
You, therefore, must keep my commandments and decrees, and you must not do any of these detestable things, neither the native-born Israelite nor the foreigner who lives among you.
27 thi alle disse Vederstyggeligheder øvede Indbyggerne, som var der før eder, og Landet blev urent —
For this is the wickedness that the people in the land have committed, those who lived here before you, and now the land is defiled.
28 for at ikke Landet skal udspy eder, naar I gør det urent, ligesom det udspyede det Folk, som var der før eder.
Therefore be careful so that the land does not vomit you up also after you have defiled it, as it vomited out the people who were before you.
29 Thi enhver, som øver nogen af alle disse Vederstyggeligheder, de, der øver dem, skal udryddes af deres Folk.
Whoever does any of these detestable things, the persons who do such things will be cut off from among their people.
30 Saa hold mine Forskrifter, saa I ikke øver nogen af de vederstyggelige Skikke, som øvedes før eders Tid, at I ikke skal gøre eder urene ved dem. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
Therefore you must keep my command not to practice any of these detestable customs which were practiced here before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am Yahweh your God.'”
