¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

²“Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his seed to Molech; he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.

²Sig 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,

³I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his seed to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.

³og 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;

⁴If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his seed to Molech, and don’t put him to death;

⁴og ser end Landets Indbyggere igennem Fingre med den Mand, når han giver sit Afkom hen til Molok, og undlader at dræbe ham,

⁵then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him, to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.

⁵så 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.

⁶“‘The person that turns to those who are mediums, and to the wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.

⁶Det 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.

⁷“‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Yahweh your God.

⁷Helliger eder og vær hellige; thi jeg er HERREN eders Gud!

⁸You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.

⁸Hold mine Anordninger og gør efter dem. Jeg er HERREN, som helliger eder!

⁹“‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

⁹Thi 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.

¹⁰“‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

¹³“‘If a man lies with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹³Om 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.

¹⁴“‘If a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burned with fire, both he and they; that there may be no wickedness among you.

¹⁴Om 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.

¹⁵“‘If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.

¹⁵Om nogen har Omgang med et Dyr, skal han lide Døden, og Dyret skal I slå ihjel.

¹⁶“‘If a woman approaches any animal, and lies down with it, you shall kill the woman, and the animal: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹⁶Om 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.

¹⁷“‘If a man takes his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he has uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

¹⁷Om 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.

¹⁸“‘If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness; he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

¹⁸Om 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.

¹⁹“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, nor of your father’s sister; for he has made naked his close relative: they shall bear their iniquity.

¹⁹Du 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.

²²Hold alle mine Anordninger og Lovbud og gør efter dem, at ikke Landet, jeg føler eder ind at bo i, skal udspy eder.

²³You shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

²³Følg ikke det Folks Skikke, som jeg driver bort foran eder, thi de har øvet alt dette; derfor væmmedes jeg ved dem

²⁴But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the peoples.

²⁴og 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.

²⁵“‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and you shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.

²⁵I 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.

²⁶You shall be holy to me: for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.

²⁶Og I skal være mig hellige, thi jeg HERREN er hellig, og jeg har udskilt eder fra alle andre Folkeslag til at høre mig til.

²⁷“‘A man or a woman that is a medium, or is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.’”

²⁷Når der i en Mand eller Kvinde er en Genfærdsånd eller en Sandsigerånd, skal de lide Døden; de skal stenes, der hviler Blodskyld på dem.
