Deuteronomy 14
1 You are the children of the Lord your God: you shall not make any baldness between you eyes for the dead.
HERREN eders Guds Børn er I, derfor maa I ikke indridse Mærker paa eder eller afrage Haaret over Panden for de dødes Skyld.
2 For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord your God has chosen you to be a peculiar people to himself of all the nations on the face of the earth.
Thi du er et Folk, der er helliget HERREN din Gud, og dig har HERREN udvalgt til at være hans Ejendomsfolk blandt alle Folk paa Jorden.
3 You shall not eat any abominable thing.
Du maa ikke spise noget, som er en Vederstyggelighed.
4 These [are] the beasts which you shall eat; the calf of the herd, and lamb of the sheep, and kid of the goats;
De Dyr, I maa spise, er følgende: Okser, Faar og Geder,
5 the stag, and doe, and pygarg, and wild goat, and camelopard.
Hjorte, Gazeller, Antiloper, Stenbukke, Disjonantiloper, Oryksantiloper og Vildgeder.
6 Every beast that divides the hoofs, and makes claws of two divisions, and that chews the cud among beasts, these you shall eat.
Og alt det Kvæg, som har spaltede Klove, begge Klove helt spaltede, og tygger Drøv, det Kvæg maa I spise.
7 And these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, and of those that divide the hoofs, and make distinct claws; the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud, and do not divide the hoof, these are unclean to you.
Men følgende maa I ikke spise af dem, der tygger Drøv, og af dem, der har Klovene helt spaltede: Kamelen, Haren og Klippegrævlingen, thi de tygger vel Drøv, men har ikke Klove; de skal være eder urene;
8 And as for the swine, because he divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, yet he chews not the cud, he is unclean to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, you shall not touch their dead bodies.
ej heller Svinet, thi det har vel Klove, men tygger ikke Drøv; det skal være eder urent. Deres Kød maa I ikke spise, og ved deres Aadsler maa I ikke røre.
9 And these you shall eat of all that are in the water, you shall eat all that have fins and scales.
Af alt, hvad der lever i Vandet, maa I spise følgende: Alt, hvad der har Finner og Skæl, maa I spise.
10 And all that have not fins and scales you shall not eat; they are unclean to you.
Men intet, der ikke har Finner og Skæl, maa I spise; det skal være eder urent.
11 You shall eat every clean bird.
Alle rene Fugle maa I spise.
12 And these of them you shall not eat; the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,
Men følgende Fugle maa I ikke spise: Ørnen, Lammegribben, Havørnen,
13 and the vulture, and the kite and the like to it,
Glenten, de forskellige Arter af Falke,
alle de forskellige Arter af Ravne,
15 and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant,
Strudsen, Takmasfuglen, Maagen, de forskellige Arter af Høge,
16 and the heron, and the swan, and the stork,
Uglen, Hornuglen, Tinsjemetfuglen,
17 and the cormorant, and the hawk, and its like, and the hoopoe, and the raven,
Pelikanen, Aadselgribben, Fiskepelikanen,
18 and the pelican, and the diver and the like to it, and the red-bill and the bat.
Storken, de forskellige Arter af Hejrer, Hærfuglen og Flagermusen.
19 All winged animals that creep are unclean to you; you shall not eat of them.
Alt vinget Kryb skal være eder urent og maa ikke spises.
20 You shall eat every clean bird.
Men alle rene Fugle maa I spise.
21 You shall eat nothing that dies of itself; it shall be given to the sojourner in your cities and he shall eat it, or you shall sell it to a stranger, because you are a holy people to the Lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in his mother's milk.
I maa ikke spise noget selvdødt Dyr. Du kan give det til den fremmede inden dine Porte, at han kan spise det, eller du kan sælge det til en Udlænding. Thi du er et Folk, der er helliget HERREN din Gud. Du maa ikke koge et Kid i dets Moders Mælk.
22 You shall tithe a tenth of all the produce of your seed, the fruit of your field year by year.
Du skal give Tiende af al din Afgrøde, der vokser paa Marken, Aar for Aar;
23 And you shall eat it in the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called there; you shall bring the tithe of your corn and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.
og for HERREN din Guds Aasyn, paa det Sted, han udvælger til Bolig for sit Navn, skal du nyde Tienden af dit Korn, din Most og din Olie og de førstefødte af dit Hornkvæg og Smaakvæg, for at du kan lære at frygte HERREN din Gud alle Dage.
24 And if the journey be too far for you, and you are not able to bring them, because the place [is] far from you which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called there, because the Lord your God will bless you;
Men naar Vejen er dig for lang, saa du ikke kan bringe det derhen, eftersom det Sted, HERREN din Gud udvælger for der at stedfæste sit Navn, ligger for langt borte fra dig, fordi HERREN din Gud velsigner dig,
25 then you shall sell them for money, and you shall take the money in your hands, and you shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose.
saa skal du gøre det i Penge og pakke Pengene ind og tage dem med og drage til det Sted, HERREN din Gud udvælger,
26 And you shall give the money for whatever your soul shall desire, for oxen or for sheep, or for wine, or [you shall lay it out] on strong drink, or on whatever your soul may desire, and you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice and your house,
og du skal for Pengene købe alt, hvad dit Hjerte begærer, Hornkvæg og Smaakvæg, Vin og stærk Drik og alt, hvad du har Lyst til, og nyde det der for HERREN din Guds Aasyn og være glad sammen med din Husstand.
27 and the Levite that is in your cities, because he has not a portion or inheritance with you.
Og Leviten inden dine Porte maa du ikke glemme; thi han har ikke Arvelod og Del som du.
28 After three years you shall bring out all the tithes of your fruits, in that year you shall lay it up in your cities.
Men hver Gang der er gaaet tre Aar, skal du tage al Tienden af din Afgrøde i det Aar og samle den inden dine Porte,
29 And the Levite shall come, because he has no part or lot with you, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which is in your cities; and they shall eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works which you shall do.
saa at Leviten, der jo ikke har Arvelod og Del som du, og den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken inden dine Porte kan komme og spise sig mæt deraf; det skal du gøre, for at HERREN din Gud maa velsigne dig i al den Gerning, du tager dig for.
