Exodus 22
1 “If anyone will have stolen an ox or a sheep, and if he kills it or sells it, then he will restore five oxen for one ox, and four sheep for one sheep.
Naar nogen stjæler en Okse eller et Lam og slagter det eller sælger det, skal han betale fem Okser for Oksen og fire Lam for Lammet.
2 If a thief will have been discovered breaking into a house, or digging under it, and he has received a mortal wound, he who struck him down will not be guilty of blood.
Om nogen Tyv bliver greben, idet han bryder ind, og bliver slagen og dør, skal ingen Bloddom udgaa for hans Skyld.
3 But if he did this when the sun was risen, he has perpetrated a homicide, and he shall die. If he does not have the means to make restitution for the theft, he shall be sold.
Men er Solen opgangen over ham, da skal Bloddom udgaa for hans Skyld. Tyven skal betale; men har han intet, da skal han sælges for sit Tyveri.
4 If whatever he stole should be found with him, a living thing, either an ox, or a donkey, or a sheep, he shall repay double.
Dersom det stjaalne findes i hans Vold, hvad enten det er Okse eller Asen eller Lam, som er levende, skal han betale dobbelt.
5 If there is any damage to a field or a vineyard, when he has released his cattle to pasture on the land of a stranger, he shall repay the best of what he has in his own field, or in his own vineyard, according to the estimation of the damage.
Naar nogen lader afæde Ager eller Vingaard, idet han slaar sit Kvæg løs, og det afæder en andens Ager, da skal han betale af det bedste paa sin Ager og af det bedste i sin Vingaard.
6 If a fire will have been discovered departing from brush, and taking hold in stacks of grain, or in crops standing in the fields, whoever ignited the fire shall repay the damages.
Om Ild farer ud og griber fat i Torne, og Negene eller det staaende Korn eller Ageren ødelægges, da skal han, som antændte Branden, visselig betale.
7 If anyone will have entrusted money, or a container, to his friend to keep, and if these have been stolen from the one who received them: if the thief is found, he shall repay double.
Om nogen flyr sin Næste Penge eller Tøj at forvare, og det bliver stjaalet af Mandens Hus, skal Tyven, hvis han findes, betale dobbelt.
8 If the thief is unknown, the lord of the house will be brought before the heavens to swear that he did not lay his hand on the goods of his neighbor,
Men findes Tyven ikke, da skal Husbonden føres frem for Gud at vidne, at han ikke har lagt sin Haand paa sin Næstes Tøj.
9 so as to perpetrate any fraud, such as with an ox, or a donkey, or a sheep, or clothing, nor to do anything that would be able to cause damage. The case of both shall be brought before the heavens. And if they give judgment against him, he shall repay double to his neighbor.
Hvad angaar al svigagtig Handel, om Okse, Asen, Lam, Klæder, om alt, hvad der er tabt, om hvilket nogen siger, at dette er hans, da skal begges Sag komme for Gud; hvem Gud siger at være skyldig, han skal betale sin Næste dobbelt.
10 If anyone will have entrusted a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to the keeping of his neighbor, and it will have died, or become disabled, or have been captured by enemies, and no one saw it,
Naar nogen flyr sin Næste Asen eller Okse eller Lam eller andet Kvæg at passe paa, og det dør, eller det kommer til Skade, eller det bortføres, og ingen ser det,
11 then there shall be an oath between them, that he did not lay his hand on the goods of his neighbor. And the owner shall accept the oath, and he will not be compelled to make restitution.
da skal Ed ved Herren være imellem dem begge, at han ikke har lagt sin Haand paa sin Næstes Gods, og den skal dets Ejermand tage for god, og den anden skal ikke betale.
12 But if it will have been taken away by theft, he shall repay the damages to the owner.
Men bliver det stjaalet fra ham, da skal han betale dets Ejermand det.
13 If it has been eaten by a wild beast, let him carry what was killed to him, and then he shall not make restitution.
Men bliver det sønderrevet, da skal han føre det frem til et Vidnesbyrd; han skal ikke betale det, som er sønderrevet.
14 If anyone borrows from his neighbor any of these things, and it has died or been disabled when the owner was not present, he shall be compelled to make restitution.
Og naar nogen laaner noget af sin Næste, og det kommer til Skade eller dør, da skal han, hvis Ejermanden ikke er til Stede, betale det.
15 But if the owner was present, he shall not make restitution, especially if it had been brought for hired work.
Dersom dets Ejermand er derhos, da skal han ikke betale; dersom det er lejet, da regnes det for Lejen.
16 If a man has led astray a virgin not yet betrothed, and he has slept with her, he shall pay her dowry and have her as a wife.
Og naar nogen lokker en Jomfru, som ikke er trolovet, og ligger hos hende, da skal han visselig give Morgengave for hende og tage sig hende til Hustru.
17 If the father of the virgin is not willing to give her, he shall pay money according to manner of a dowry, which virgins are accustomed to receive.
Men om hendes Fader vægrer sig ved at give ham hende, da skal han tilveje Penge efter Morgengave for en Jomfru.
18 You shall not permit practitioners of the black arts to live.
Du skal ikke lade en Troldkvinde leve.
19 Whoever has sexual intercourse with an animal shall be put to death.
Hver som ligger hos et Dyr, skal visselig dødes.
20 Whoever immolates to gods, other than to the Lord, shall be killed.
Hvo som ofrer til Guderne og ikke til Herren alene, skal være forbandet.
21 You shall not harass the newcomer, nor shall you afflict him. For you yourselves were once newcomers in the land of Egypt.
Og du skal ikke plage en fremmed og ikke undertrykke ham; thi I have været fremmede i Ægyptens Land.
22 You shall not harm a widow or an orphan.
I skulle ikke plage nogen Enke eller faderløs.
23 If you hurt them, they will cry out to me, and I will hear their cry.
Dersom du plager ham, og han raaber til mig, da skal jeg visselig høre hans Raab.
24 And my fury will be enraged, and I will strike you down with the sword. And your wives will become widows, and your sons will become orphans.
Saa optændes min Vrede, og jeg ihjelslaar eder med Sværd, og eders Hustruer skulle blive Enker og eders Børn faderløse.
25 If you lend money to the poor of my people who live among you, you shall not coerce them like a collector, nor oppress them with usury.
Dersom du laaner mit Folk Penge, nemlig den fattige hos dig, da skal du ikke være ham som en Aagerkarl; I skulle ikke lægge Aager paa ham.
26 If you take a garment from your neighbor as a pledge, you shall return it to him again before the setting of the sun.
Dersom du tager din Næstes Klædebon til Pant, da skal du give ham det igen, førend Solen gaar ned.
27 For it is all that he has to cover himself, to clothe his body; nor does he have anything else in which to sleep. If he cries out to me, I will hear him, because I am compassionate.
Thi det er hans eneste Skjul, det er hans Klædebon for hans Krop; deri ligger han; og det skal ske, naar han raaber til mig, da skal jeg høre det, thi jeg er naadig.
28 You shall not disparage the heavens, and you shall not speak evil of the leader of your people.
Du skal ikke bande Gud, og den øverste iblandt dit Folk skal du ikke ønske ondt over.
29 You shall not delay in paying your tithes and your first-fruits. You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.
Du skal ikke tøve med at give mig af din Lades Fylde og din Vinperses Væde; du skal give mig den førstefødte af dine Sønner.
30 You shall do likewise with those of the oxen and the sheep. For seven days, let it be with its mother; on the eighth day you shall repay it to me.
Saaledes skal du gøre med din Okse og med dit Faar; det skal være syv Dage hos sin Moder, paa den ottende Dag skal du give mig det.
31 You shall be holy men for me. The flesh, from which beasts will have tasted, you shall not eat, but you will throw it to the dogs.”
Og I skulle være mig aldeles hellige Mennesker og ikke æde Kød, som er sønderrevet paa Marken; for Hunde skulle I kaste det.
