3 Mosebog 20
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Sig til Israeliterne: Om nogen af Israeliterne eller de fremmede, der bor hos Israel, giver sit Afkom hen til Molok, da skal han lide Døden; Landets Indbyggere skal stene ham,
“Say to the people of Israel, 'Anyone among the people of Israel, or any foreigner who lives in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech, must certainly be put to death. The people in the land must stone him with stones.
3 og jeg vender selv mit Åsyn imod den Mand og udrydder ham af hans Folk, fordi han gav sit Afkom hen til Molok for at gøre min Helligdom uren og vanhellige mit hellige Navn;
I also will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people because he has given his child to Molech, so as to defile my holy place and profane my holy name.
4 og ser end Landets Indbyggere igennem Fingre med den Mand, når han giver sit Afkom hen til Molok, og undlader at dræbe ham,
If the people of the land close their eyes to that man when he gives any of his children to Molech, if they do not put him to death,
5 så vender jeg dog selv mit Åsyn imod den Mand og hans Slægt og udrydder ham og alle dem, der følger i hans Spor og boler med Molok, af deres Folk.
then I myself will set my face against that man and his clan, and I will cut him off and everyone else who prostitutes himself in order to play the harlot with Molech.
6 Det Menneske, som henvender sig til Genfærd eller Sandsigerånder og boler med dem, mod det Menneske vil jeg vende mit Åsyn og udrydde ham af hans Folk.
The person who turns to those who talk with the dead, or to those who talk with spirits so as to prostitute themselves with them, I will set my face against that person; I will cut him off from among his people.
7 Helliger eder og vær hellige; thi jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
Therefore consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am Yahweh your God.
8 Hold mine Anordninger og gør efter dem. Jeg er HERREN, som helliger eder!
You must keep my commands and carry them out. I am Yahweh who sets you apart as holy.
9 Thi enhver, som forbander sin Fader og sin Moder, skal lide Døden; han har forbandet sin Fader og sin Moder, derfor hviler der Blodskyld på ham.
Everyone who curses his father or his mother must surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, so he is guilty and deserves to die.
10 Om nogen bedriver Hor med en anden Mands Hustru, om nogen bedriver Hor med sin Næstes Hustru, da skal de lide Døden, Horkarlen såvel som Horkvinden.
The man who commits adultery with another man's wife, that is, anyone who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife—the adulterer and the adulteress must both certainly be put to death.
11 Om nogen har Samleje med sin Faders Hustru, har han blottet sin Faders Blusel; de skal begge lide Døden, der hviler Blodskyld på dem.
If a man lies with his father's wife, he uncovers his father's nakedness. Both the son and his father's wife must certainly be put to death. Their blood is upon them.
12 Om nogen har Samleje med sin Sønnekone, skal de begge lide Døden; de har øvet Skændselsdåd, der hviler Blodskyld på dem.
If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must certainly be put to death. They have committed perversion. They are guilty and deserve to die.
13 Om nogen ligger hos en Mand, på samme Måde som man ligger hos en Kvinde, da har de begge øvet en Vederstyggelighed; de skal lide Døden, der hviler Blodskyld på dem.
If a man sleeps with another man, as with a woman, both of them have done something detestable. They must surely be put to death. They are guilty and deserve to die.
14 Om nogen ægter en Kvinde og hendes Moder, er det grov Utugt: man skal brænde både ham og begge Kvinderne; der må ikke findes grov Utugt iblandt eder.
If a man marries a woman and also marries her mother, this is wickedness. They must be burned, both he and the women, so that there will be no wickedness among you.
15 Om nogen har Omgang med et Dyr, skal han lide Døden, og Dyret skal I slå ihjel.
If a man sleeps with an animal, he must surely be put to death, and you must kill the animal.
16 Om en Kvinde kommer noget Dyr nær for at have kønslig Omgang med det, da skal du ihjelslå både Kvinden og Dyret; de skal lide Døden, der hviler Blodskyld på dem.
If a woman approaches any animal to sleep with it, you must kill the woman and the animal. They must certainly be put to death. They are guilty and deserve to die.
17 Om en Mand tager sin Søster, sin Faders eller sin Moders Datter, til Ægte, så han ser hendes Blusel, og hun hans, da er det en skammelig Gerning; de skal udryddes i deres Landsmænds Påsyn; han har blottet sin Søsters Blusel, han skal undgælde for sin Brøde.
If a man sleeps with his sister, a daughter of his father or a daughter of his mother, and he uncovers her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing. They must be cut off from the presence of their people, because he has slept with his sister. He must carry his guilt.
18 Om en Mand har Samleje med en Kvinde under hendes månedlige Svaghed og blotter hendes Blusel, idet han afdækker hendes Kilde, og hun afdækker sit Blods Kilde, da skal de begge udryddes af deres Folk.
If a man sleeps with a woman during her menstrual period and has slept with her, he has uncovered the flow of her blood, the source of her blood. Both the man and woman must be cut off from among their people.
19 Du må ikke blotte din Mosters og din Fasters Blusel, thi den, der gør det, afdækker sin kødelige Slægtnings Blusel; de skal undgælde for deres Brøde.
You must not sleep with your mother's sister, or with your father's sister, because you would disgrace your close relative. You must carry your own guilt.
20 Om nogen har Samleje med sin Farbroders Hustru, da har han blottet sin Farbroders Blusel, de skal undgælde for deres Synd og dø barnløse.
If a man sleeps with his aunt, he has dishonored his uncle. They will bear responsibility for their sin, and they will die without children.
21 Om nogen tager sin Broders Hustru til Ægte, da er det en uren Gerning; han har blottet sin Broders Blusel; de skal blive barnløse.
If a man marries his brother's wife while his brother is still living, that is disgraceful. He has dishonored his brother, and I will take away from their children any property they may have inherited from their parents.
22 Hold alle mine Anordninger og Lovbud og gør efter dem, at ikke Landet, jeg føler eder ind at bo i, skal udspy eder.
You must therefore keep all my statutes and all my decrees; you must obey them so that the land into which I am bringing you to live will not vomit you up.
23 Følg ikke det Folks Skikke, som jeg driver bort foran eder, thi de har øvet alt dette; derfor væmmedes jeg ved dem
You must not walk in the customs of the nations that I will drive out before you, for they have done all these things, and I detest them.
24 og sagde til eder: I skal få deres Land i Eje; jeg giver eder det i Eje, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud, som har udskilt eder fra alle andre Folkeslag.
I said to you, “You will inherit their land; I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the other peoples.
25 I skal skelne mellem rene og urene Dyr og mellem urene og rene Fugle for ikke at gøre eder selv til en Vederstyggelighed ved de Dyr og de Fugle og alt, hvad der rører sig på Jorden, alt, hvad jeg har udskilt for eder og erklæret for urent.
You must therefore distinguish between the clean animals and the unclean, and between the unclean birds and the clean. You must not defile yourselves with unclean animals or birds or with any creature that crawls along the ground, which I have separated as unclean from you.
26 Og I skal være mig hellige, thi jeg HERREN er hellig, og jeg har udskilt eder fra alle andre Folkeslag til at høre mig til.
You must be holy, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples, for you belong to me.
27 Når der i en Mand eller Kvinde er en Genfærdsånd eller en Sandsigerånd, skal de lide Døden; de skal stenes, der hviler Blodskyld på dem.
A man or a woman who talks with the dead or who talks with spirits must certainly be put to death. The people must stone them with stones. They are guilty and deserve to die.'”
