Exodus 23
1 You shall not receive a vain report: you shall not agree with the unjust [man] to become an unjust witness.
Du skal ikke antage falsk Rygte; du skal ikke række den ugudelige Haanden til at være et uretfærdigt Vidne.
2 You shall not associate with the multitude for evil; you shall not join yourself with a multitude to turn aside with the majority so as to shut out judgement.
Du skal ikke følge Mængden til det onde, og du skal ikke svare i en Trætte, saa at du bøjer Retten efter Mængden.
3 And you shall not spare a poor man in judgement.
Og du skal ikke besmykke den ringe i hans Trætte.
4 And if you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall turn them back and restore them to him.
Naar du møder din Fjendes Okse eller hans Asen, som farer vild, da skal du føre dem til ham igen.
5 And if you see your enemy's ass fallen under its burden, you shall not pass by it, but shall help to raise it with him.
Naar du ser din Uvens Asen ligge under sin Byrde, da vogt dig, at du ikke overlader det til ham; du skal løse Byrden af tillige med ham.
6 You shall not wrest the sentence of the poor in his judgement.
Du skal ikke bøje Retten for den fattige hos dig i hans Trætte.
7 You shall abstain from every unjust thing: you shall not kill the innocent and just, and you shall not justify the wicked for gifts.
Du skal holde dig langt fra falsk Sag, og du skal ikke ihjelslaa den uskyldige og retfærdige; thi jeg lader ikke den skyldige have Ret.
8 And you shall not receive gifts; for gifts blind the eyes of the seeing, and corrupt just words.
Og du skal ikke tage Gave; thi Gaven kan forblinde de seende og forvende de retfærdiges Sager.
9 And you shall not afflict a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger; for you were yourselves strangers in the land of Egypt.
Og du skal ikke fortrykke den fremmede; thi I vide selv, hvorledes den fremmede er til Mode, thi I vare selv fremmede i Ægyptens Land.
10 Six years you shall sow your land, and gather in the fruits of it.
Og seks Aar skal du besaa dit Land og sanke dets Grøde;
11 But in the seventh year you shall let it rest, and leave it, and the poor of your nation shall feed; and the wild beasts of the field shall eat that which remains: thus shall you do to your vineyard and to your oliveyard.
men i det syvende skal du lade det ligge og hvile, at de fattige iblandt dit Folk maa æde deraf, og hvad deraf bliver tilovers, maa vilde Dyr paa Marken æde; saa skal du gøre med din Vingaard og med din Oliegaard.
12 Six days shall you do your works, and on the seventh day there shall be rest, that your ox and your ass may rest, and that the son of your maidservant and the stranger may be refreshed.
Seks Dage skal du gøre din Gerning, men paa den syvende Dag skal du hvile, paa det at din Okse og dit Asen maa hvile, og din Tjenestekvindes Søn og den fremmede maa vederkvæges.
13 Observe all things whatever I have commanded you; and you shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall they be heard out of your mouth.
Og alt det, som jeg har sagt til eder, skulle I holde; og I skulle ikke ihukomme andre Guders Navn, det skal ikke høres af din Mund.
14 Keep you a feast to me three times in the year.
Du skal holde mig tre Gange Højtid om Aaret.
15 Take heed to keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I charged you at the season of the month of new [corn], for in it you came out of Egypt: you shall not appear before me empty.
Du skal holde de usyrede Brøds Højtid; du skal æde usyrede Brød syv Dage, saasom jeg befalede dig, til den bestemte Tid i Abib Maaned, thi i den drog du ud af Ægypten; og for mit Ansigt skal ingen lade sig se tomhændet;
16 And you shall keep the feast of the harvest of first fruits of your labours, whatever you shall have sown in your field, and the feast of completion at the end of the year in the gathering in of your fruits out of your field.
og den Højtid naar du høster dit Arbejdes Førstegrøde af det, som du har saaet paa Marken; og Indsamlingens Højtid naar Aaret gaar ud, naar du har samlet dit Arbejdes Frugt af Marken.
17 Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord your God.
Tre Gange om Aaret skal alt dit Mandkøn ses for den Herres, Herres Ansigt.
18 For when I shall have cast out the nations from before you, and shall have widened your borders, you shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, neither must the fat of my feast abide till the morning.
Du skal ikke ofre mit Slagtoffers Blod, hvor der er syret Brød, og det fede fra min Højtid skal ikke blive liggende Natten over til om Morgenen.
19 You shall bring the first-offerings of the first fruits of your land into the house of the Lord your God. You shall not seethe a lamb in its mother's milk.
Det første, din Jords Førstegrøde, skal du føre til Herren din Guds Hus; du skal ikke koge et Kid i dets Moders Mælk.
20 And, behold, I send my angel before your face, that he may keep you in the way, that he may bring you into the land which I have prepared for you.
Se, jeg sender en Engel for dit Ansigt at bevare dig paa Vejen og føre dig til det Sted, som jeg har beredt.
21 Take heed to yourself and listen to him, and disobey him not; for he will not give way to you, for my name is on him.
Forvar dig for hans Ansigt og lyd hans Røst, fortørn ham ikke; thi han skal ikke forlade eder eders Overtrædelser, thi mit Navn er i ham.
22 If you will indeed hear my voice, and if you will do all the things I shall charge you with, and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations, for the whole earth is mine; and you shall be to me a royal priesthood, and a holy nation: these words shall you speak to the children of Israel, If you shall indeed hear my voice, and do all the things I shall tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
Thi dersom du hører hans Røst og gør alt det, som jeg vil sige, da vil jeg og være dine Fjenders Fjende, og jeg vil trænge dem, som trænge dig.
23 For my angel shall go as your leader, and shall bring you to the Amorite, and Chettite, and Pherezite, and Chananite, and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and I will destroy them.
Thi min Engel skal gaa for dit Ansigt, og føre dig til de Amoriter og Hethiter og Feresiter og Kananiter og Heviter og Jebusiter; og jeg vil udslette dem.
24 You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them: you shall not do according to their works, but shall utterly destroy them, and break to pieces their pillars.
Du skal ikke tilbede deres Guder og ej tjene dem og ikke gøre, som de gøre; men du skal nedbryde dem og sønderslaa deres Billeder.
25 And you shall serve the Lord your God, and I will bless your bread and your wine and your water, and I will turn away sickness from you.
Men I skulle tjene Herren, eders Gud, og han skal velsigne Brødet og Vandet for dig; og jeg vil borttage Sygdom fra dig.
26 There shall not be on your land one that is impotent or barren. I will surely fulfil the number of your days.
Der skal ingen være, som føder i Utide eller er ufrugtbar i dit Land; jeg vil lade dig fylde dine Dages Tal.
27 And I will send terror before you, and I will strike with amazement all the nations to which you shall come, and I will make all your enemies to flee.
Jeg vil sende Forfærdelse for mig for dit Ansigt og forvirre hvert Folk, som du kommer til; og jeg vil lade alle dine Fjender fly for dig.
28 And I will send hornets before you, and you shall cast out the Amorites and the Evites, and the Chananites and the Chettites from you.
Og jeg vil sende Gedehamse for dit Ansigt, som skulle udjage Heviterne, Kananiterne og Hethiterne for dig.
29 I will not cast them out in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against you.
Jeg vil ikke udjage dem fra dit Ansigt paa eet Aar, at Landet ikke skal blive øde, og vilde Dyr paa Marken ikke skulle formeres mod dig.
30 By little [and little] I will cast them out from before you, until you shall be increased and inherit the earth.
Jeg vil uddrive dem for dit Ansigt lidt efter lidt, indtil at du bliver mangfoldig og besidder Landet.
31 And I will set your borders from the Red Sea, to the sea of the Phylistines, and from the wilderness to the great river Euphrates; and I will give into your hand those that dwell in the land, and will cast them out from you.
Og jeg vil sætte dit Landemærke fra det røde Hav indtil Filistrenes Hav og fra Ørken indtil Floden; thi jeg vil give Landets Indbyggere i eders Haand, og du skal uddrive dem fra dit Ansigt.
32 You shall make no covenant with them and their gods.
Du skal ikke gøre Pagt med dem eller med deres Guder.
33 And they shall not dwell in your land, lest they cause you to sin against me; for if you should serve their gods, these will be an offence to you.
Lad dem ikke bo i dit Land, at de ikke skulle komme dig til at synde imod mig; thi du kunde tjene deres Guder, og det vilde blive dig til en Snare.
