¹He who is wounded in the stones, or has his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the assembly of Yahweh.

¹Ingen, der er gildet ved Knusning eller Snit, har Adgang til HERRENS Forsamling.

²A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of Yahweh; even to the tenth generation shall none of his enter into the assembly of Yahweh.

²Ingen, som er født i blandet Ægteskab, har Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling; end ikke i tiende Led har hans Afkom Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling.

³An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of Yahweh; even to the tenth generation shall none belonging to them enter into the assembly of Yahweh forever:

³Ingen Ammonit eller Moabit har Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling; end ikke i tiende Led har deres Afkom nogen Sinde Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling,

⁴because they didn’t meet you with bread and with water in the way, when you came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.

⁴fordi de ikke kom eder i Møde med Brød eller Vand undervejs, da I drog bort fra Ægypten, og fordi han lejede Bileam, Beors Søn, fra Petor i Aram Nabarajim, imod dig til at forbande dig;

⁵Nevertheless Yahweh your God wouldn’t listen to Balaam; but Yahweh your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because Yahweh your God loved you.

⁵men HERREN din Gud vilde ikke høre på Bileam, og HERREN din Gud forvandlede Forbandelsen til Velsignelse, fordi HERREN din Gud elskede dig.

⁶You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.

⁶Du skal aldrig i Evighed bekymre dig om deres Velfærd og Lykke!

⁷You shall not abhor an Edomite; for he is your brother: you shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.

⁷Derimod må du ikke afsky Edomiterne, thi det er dine Brødre. Heller ikke Ægypterne må du afsky, thi du har levet som fremmed i deres Land.

⁸The children of the third generation who are born to them shall enter into the assembly of Yahweh.

⁸Deres Efterkommere må have Adgang til HERRENs Forsamling i tredje Led.

⁹When you go forth in camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves from every evil thing.

⁹Når du går i Krig mod dine Fjender og lægger dig i Lejr, så vogt dig for alt, hvad der er utilbørligt.

¹⁰If there is among you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens him by night, then shall he go outside of the camp. He shall not come within the camp:

¹⁰Findes der nogen hos dig, der på Grund af en natlig Hændelse ikke er ren, skal han gå uden for Lejren, han må ikke komme ind i Lejren;

¹¹but it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.

¹¹når det lakker mod Aften, skal han tvætte sig med Vand, og når Solen går ned, må han atter komme ind i Lejren.

¹²You shall have a place also outside of the camp, where you shall go forth abroad:

¹²Du skal have en afsides Plads uden for Lejren, hvor du kan gå for dig selv;

¹³and you shall have a paddle among your weapons; and it shall be, when you sit down abroad, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn back and cover that which comes from you:

¹³og du skal have en Pind i dit Bælte, og når du sætter dig derude, skal du med den grave et Hul og bagefter tildække dine Udtømmelser.

¹⁴for Yahweh your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.

¹⁴Thi HERREN din Gud drager med midt i din Lejr for at hjælpe dig og give dine Fjender i din Magt; derfor skal din Lejr være hellig, for at han ikke skal se noget hos dig, der vækker Væmmelse, og vende sig fra dig.

¹⁵You shall not deliver to his master a servant who is escaped from his master to you:

¹⁵Du må ikke udlevere en Træl til hans Herre, når han er flygtet fra sin Herre og søger Tilflugt hos dig.

¹⁶he shall dwell with you, in the midst of you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best: you shall not oppress him.

¹⁶Han må tage Ophold i din Midte på det Sted, han selv vælger, inden dine Porte, hvor han helst vil være, og du må ikke gøre ham Men.

¹⁷There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

¹⁷Ingen af Israels Døtre må være Skøge, og ingen af Israels Sønner må være Mandsskøge.

¹⁸You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a dog, into the house of Yahweh your God for any vow: for even both these are an abomination to Yahweh your God.

¹⁸Du må ikke for at opfylde et Løfte bringe Skøgefortjeneste eller Hundeløn til HERREN din Guds Hus; thi begge dele er HERREN din Gud en Vederstyggelighed.

¹⁹You shall not lend on interest to your brother; interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest:

¹⁹Du må ikke tage Rente af din Broder, hverken af Penge, Fødevarer eller andet, som man kan tage Rente af.

²⁰to a foreigner you may lend on interest; but to your brother you shall not lend on interest, that Yahweh your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to possess it.

²⁰Af Udlændinge må du tage Rente, men ikke af din Broder, hvis HERREN din Gud skal velsigne dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for i det Land, du skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.

²¹When you shall vow a vow to Yahweh your God, you shall not be slack to pay it: for Yahweh your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.

²¹Når du aflægger et Løfte til HERREN din Gud, må du ikke tøve med at indfri det; thi ellers vil HERREN din Gud kræve det af dig, og du vil pådrage dig Skyld.

²²But if you shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in you.

²²Men hvis du undlader at aflægge Løfter, pådrager du dig ingen Skyld.

²³That which is gone out of your lips you shall observe and do; according as you have vowed to Yahweh your God, a freewill offering, which you have promised with your mouth.

²³Hvad du engang har sagt, skal du holde, og du skal gøre, hvad du frivilligt har lovet HERREN din Gud, hvad du har udtalt med din Mund.

²⁴When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, then you may eat of grapes your fill at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your vessel.

²⁴Når du kommer ind i din Næstes Vingård, må du spise alle de Druer, du har Lyst til, så du bliver mæt; men du må ingen komme i din Kurv.

²⁵When you come into your neighbor’s standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not move a sickle to your neighbor’s standing grain.

²⁵Når du går igennem din Næstes Sæd, må du plukke Aks med din Hånd, men du må ikke komme til din Næstes Sæd med Segl.
