5 Mosebog 22

1 Når du ser din Broders Okse eller Får løbe løse om, må du ikke undlade at tage dig af dem, men du skal bringe dem tilbage til din Broder.

“You do not see the ox of your brother or his sheep driven away, and have hidden yourself from them, you certainly turn them back to your brother;

2 Og hvis din Broder ikke bor i Nærheden af dig, eller du ikke ved, hvis byret er, skal du tage det ind i dit Hus, og det skal være hos dig, indtil din Broder spørger efter det; så skal du give ham det tilbage.

and if your brother [is] not near to you, and you have not known him, then you have removed it to the midst of your house, and it has been with you until your brother seeks it, and you have given it back to him;

3 På samme Måde skal du forholde dig med hans Æsel, med hans Klæder og med alt, hvad der bliver borte for din Broder, når du finder det. Du må ikke undlade at tage dig af det.

and so you do to his donkey, and so you do to his garment, and so you do to any lost thing of your brother’s, which is lost by him, and you have found it; you are not able to hide yourself.

4 Når du ser din Broders Okse eller Æsel styrte på Vejen, må du ikke undlade at tage dig af dem, men du skal hjælpe ham med at få dem op.

You do not see the donkey of your brother, or his ox, falling in the way, and have hid yourself from them; you certainly raise [them] up for him.

5 En kvinde må ikke bære Mandsdragt, og en Mand må ikke iføre sig Kvindeklæder; thi enhver, der gør det, er HERREN din Gud en Vederstyggelighed.

Anything of a man is not on a woman, nor does a man put on the garment of a woman, for anyone doing these [is] an abomination [to] your God YHWH.

6 Når du på din Vej træffer på en Fuglerede i et Træ eller på Jorden med Unger eller Æg, og Moderen ligger på Ungerne eller Æggene, må du ikke tage Moderen sammen med Ungerne;

When a bird’s nest comes before you in the way, in any tree, or on the earth, [with] brood or eggs, and the mother is sitting on the brood or on the eggs, you do not take the mother with the young ones;

7 Ungerne kan du tage, men Moderen skal du lade flyve, for at det må gå dig vel og du må få et langt Liv.

you certainly send the mother away, and take the young ones for yourself, so that it is well with you and you have prolonged days.

8 Når du bygger et nyt Hus, skal du sætte Rækværk om Taget, for at du ikke skal bringe Blodskyld over dit Hus, hvis nogen falder ned derfra.

When you build a new house, then you have made a parapet for your roof, and you do not put blood on your house when one falls from it.

9 Dut må ikke så to Slags Sæd i din Vingård, ellers hjemfalder det hele til Helligdommen, både Sæden, du såede, og Udbyttet af Vingården.

You do not sow your vineyard [with] two kinds [of seed], lest the fullness of the seed which you sow and the increase of the vineyard be separated.

10 Du må ikke pløje med en Okse og et Æsel sammen.

You do not plow with an ox and with a donkey together.

11 Du må ikke bære Tøj, som er vævet både af Uld og Hør.

You do not put on mixed material, wool and linens together.

12 Du skal sætte Kvaster i de fire Hjørner af din Kappe, som du hyller dig i.

You make fringes for yourself on the four skirts of your covering with which you cover [yourself].

13 Når en Mand efter at have ægtet en Kvinde og søgt Samkvem med hende får Uvilje imod hende

When a man takes a wife, and has gone in to her, and hated her,

14 og siger hende skammelige Ting på og udspreder ondt Rygte om hende, idet han siger: "Jeg tog denne Kvinde til Ægte, men da jeg havde Samkvem med hende, fandt jeg ikke hos hende Tegnet på, at hun var Jomfru!"

and laid evil deeds of words against her, and brought out an evil name against her, and said, I have taken this woman, and I draw near to her, and I have not found proofs of virginity in her;

15 så skal den unge Kvindes Forældre bringe Jomfrutegnet hen til Byens Ældste i Byporten;

then the father of the girl, and her mother, have taken and brought out the girl’s proofs of virginity to [the] elderly of the city in the gate,

16 og Pigens Fader skal sige til de Ældste: "Jeg gav denne Mand min Datter til Hustru, men han har fået Uvilje imod hende,

and the father of the girl has said to the elderly, I have given my daughter to this man for a wife, and he hates her;

17 og nu siger han hende skammelige Ting på og siger: Jeg har ikke hos din Datter fundet Tegnet på, at hun var Jomfru! Men her er Jomfrutegnet!" Og dermed skal de brede Klædet ud for Byens Ældste.

and behold, he has laid evil deeds of words, saying, I have not found proofs of virginity for your daughter—and these [are] the proofs of virginity of my daughter! And they have spread out the garment before [the] elderly of the city.

18 Da skal Byens Ældste tage Manden og revse ham;

And [the] elderly of that city have taken the man, and discipline him,

19 og de skal pålægge ham en Bøde på hundrede Sekel Sølv og give den unge Kvindes Fader dem, fordi han udspredte ondt Rygte om en Jomfru i Israel. Og han skal beholde hende som Hustru og har ikke Lov til at skille sig fra hende, så længe han lever.

and fined him one hundred pieces of silver, and given [them] to the father of the girl, because he has brought out an evil name on a virgin of Israel; and she is to him for a wife—he is not able to send her away [for] all his days.

20 Men hvis Beskyldningen er sand, hvis den unge kvindes Jomfrutegn ikke findes,

And if this thing has been truth—proofs of virginity have not been found for the girl—

21 skal man føre hende hen foran hendes Faders Husdør, og Mændene i hendes By skal stene hende til Døde, fordi hun har begået en Udåd i Israel ved at bedrive Hor i sin Faders Hus. Således skal du udrydde det onde af din Midte.

then they have brought out the girl to the opening of her father’s house, and the men of her city have stoned her with stones and she has died, for she has done folly in Israel, to go whoring [in] her father’s house; and you have put away evil out of your midst.

22 Når en Mand gribes i Samleje med en gift Kvinde, skal de begge dø, både Manden, der lå hos kvinden, og Kvinden selv. Således skal du udrydde det onde af Israel.

When a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then both of them have died—the man who is lying with the woman, and the woman; and you have put away evil out of Israel.

23 Når en Mand inde i Byen træffer en Jomfru, der er trolovet med en anden, og har Samleje med hende,

When there is a girl, a virgin, betrothed to a man, and a man has found her in a city and lain with her,

24 skal I føre dem begge ud til Byens Port og stene dem til Døde, Pigen fordi hun ikke skreg om Hjælp i Byen, og Manden, fordi han krænkede sin Næstes Brud. Således skal du udrydde det onde af din Midte.

then you have brought them both out to the gate of that city, and stoned them with stones, and they have died: the girl, because that she has not cried in a city; and the man, because that he has humbled his neighbor’s wife; and you have put away evil out of your midst.

25 Men hvis Manden træffer den trolovede Pige ude i det fri og tiltvinger sig Samleje med hende, skal kun Manden, der havde Samleje med hende, dø.

And if the man finds the girl who is betrothed in a field, and the man has laid hold on her, and lain with her, then the man who has lain with her has died alone;

26 Pigen derimod skal du ikke gøre noget; hun har ikke begået nogen Synd, som fortjener Døden; thi dermed er det, som når en overfalder sin Næste og slår ham ihjel;

and you do not do anything to the girl—the girl has no deadly sin; for as a man rises against his neighbor and has murdered him, [taking] a life, so [is] this thing;

27 han traf hende jo ude i det fri, og den trolovede Pige skreg, men ingen kom hende til Hjælp.

for he found her in a field, [and when] she has cried—the girl who is betrothed—then she has no savior.

28 Når en Mand træffer en Jomfru, der ikke er trolovet, og tiltvinger sig Samleje med hende, og de gribes på fersk Gerning,

When a man finds a girl, a virgin who is not betrothed, and has caught her, and lain with her, and they have been found,

29 skal den Mand, der havde Samleje med hende, give Pigens Fader halvtredsindstyve Sekel Sølv og tage hende til Ægte, fordi han krænkede hende; og han har ikke Ret til at skille sig fra hende, så længe han lever.

then the man who is lying with her has given fifty pieces of silver to the father of the girl, and she is to him for a wife; because that he has humbled her, he is not able to send her away [for] all his days.

30 Ingen må ægte sin Faders Hustru eller løfte sin Faders Tæppe.

A man does not take his father’s wife, nor uncover his father’s skirt.”
