5 Mosebog 11
1 Og du skal elske Herren din Gud og tage Vare paa, hvad han vil have varetaget, og paa hans Skikke og hans Befalinger og hans Bud, alle Dage.
“And so, love the Lord your God, and observe his precepts and ceremonies, his judgments and commandments, at all times.
2 Og I skulle kende i Dag — thi jeg taler ikke med eders Børn, som ikke kende, og som ikke have set det — Herren eders Guds Tugtelse, hans Storhed, hans stærke Haand og hans udrakte Arm
Acknowledge, on this day, the things that your sons did not know. For they did not see the chastisements of the Lord your God, his great acts, and powerful hand, and outstretched arm,
3 og hans Tegn og hans Gerninger, som han gjorde midt i Ægypten paa Farao, Kongen i Ægypten, og paa alt hans Land;
the signs and works that he did in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh, the king, and to his entire land,
4 og hvad han gjorde paa Ægypternes Hær, paa deres Heste og paa deres Vogne, der han lod Vandet i det røde Hav flyde over dem, medens de forfulgte eder, og Herren lod dem omkomme indtil denne Dag;
and to the entire army of the Egyptians, and to their horses and chariots: how the waters of the Red Sea covered them as they were pursuing you, and how the Lord wiped them away, even to the present day;
5 og hvad han har gjort ved eder i Ørken, indtil I ere komne til dette Sted;
and the things that he accomplished for you in the wilderness, until you arrived at this place;
6 og hvad han gjorde ved Dathan og Abiram, Sønner af Eliab, Rubens Søn, at Jorden oplod sin Mund og opslugte dem og deres Huse og deres Telte og alle Ting, som fulgte med dem, midt iblandt hele Israel.
and to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, who was the son of Reuben, those whom the earth, opening its mouth, engulfed with their households and tents, and with their entire substance which they had in the midst of Israel.
7 Thi eders Øjne have set alle Herrens store Gerninger, som han har gjort.
Your eyes have seen all the great works of the Lord, which he has accomplished,
8 Derfor skulle I holde alle de Bud, som jeg byder dig i Dag, at I maa blive stærke og komme ind og eje Landet, som I drage over til for at eje det,
so that you would keep all his commandments, which I entrust to you this day, and so that you would be able to enter and possess the land, toward which you are advancing,
9 og at I maa forlænge eders Dage i det Land, hvilket Herren tilsvor eders Fædre at give dem og deres Sæd, et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning.
and so that you may live, for a long time, in the land which the Lord promised under oath to your fathers, and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Thi det Land, som du kommer hen til for at eje det, er ikke som Ægyptens Land, som I ere dragne ud fra, hvor du saaede din Sæd og maatte selv gaa og vande den som en Urtehave.
For the land, which you shall enter and possess, is not like the land of Egypt, from which you departed, where, when seed has been sown, waters are brought in by irrigation, in the manner of gardens.
11 Men det Land, som I drage over til for at eje det, er et Land med Bjerge og Dale, det drikker Vand af Himmelens Regn,
Rather, it has mountainous regions and plains, which lay waiting for rain from heaven.
12 et Land, som Herren din Gud har nøje Agt paa; Herren din Guds Øjne se stedse derpaa fra Aarets Begyndelse og indtil Aarets Ende.
And the Lord your God always visits it, and his eyes are upon it, from the beginning of the year, all the way to its end.
13 Og det skal ske, dersom I høre mine Bud, som jeg byder eder i Dag, at elske Herren eders Gud og at tjene ham af eders ganske Hjerte og af eders ganske Sjæl:
So then, if you obey my commandments, which I am instructing to you this day, so that you love the Lord your God, and serve him with your whole heart and your whole soul,
14 Da vil jeg give eders Land Regn paa sin Tid, tidlig Regn og sildig Regn, at du kan indsamle dit Korn og din nye Vin og din Olie.
he will give to your land the early rain and the late rain, so that you may gather your grain, and your wine, and your oil,
15 Og jeg vil give dit Kvæg Urter paa din Mark, og du skal æde og blive mæt.
and your hay from the fields in order to feed your cattle, and so that you yourselves may eat and be satisfied.
16 Tager eder i Vare, at eders Hjerte ikke bliver bedaaret, saa at I vige af og tjene andre Guder og tilbede dem,
Be careful, lest perhaps your heart may be deceived, and you might withdraw from the Lord, and serve strange gods, and adore them.
17 saa Herrens Vrede optændes imod eder, og han lukker Himmelen til, at der ingen Regn kommer, og Jorden ikke giver sin Grøde, og I snart udryddes fra det gode Land, som Herren giver eder.
And the Lord, becoming angry, might close up heaven, so that the rain would not descend, nor would the earth produce her seedlings, and then you would quickly perish from the excellent land, which the Lord will give to you.
18 Men I skulle lægge disse mine Ord paa eders Hjerte og paa eders Sjæl og binde dem til et Tegn paa eders Haand, at de kunne være til et Spand imellem eders Øjne.
Place these words of mine in your hearts and minds, and hang them as a sign on your hands, and arrange them between your eyes.
19 Og I skulle lære eders Børn dem ved at tale derom, naar du sidder i dit Hus, og naar du gaar paa Vejen, og naar du lægger dig, og naar du staar op,
Teach your sons to meditate on them, when you sit in your house, and when you walk along the way, and when you lie down or rise up.
20 og du skal skrive dem paa Dørstolperne i dit Hus og paa dine Porte;
You shall write them upon the doorposts and the gates of your house,
21 at eders Dage og eders Børns Dage maa blive mangfoldige i det Land, som Herren tilsvor eders Fædre at give dem, som Himmelens Dage ere over Jorden.
so that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your sons, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, that he would give it to them for as long as heaven is suspended above the earth.
22 Thi dersom I tage Vare paa alle disse Bud, som jeg byder eder at gøre efter, saa at I elske Herren eders Gud, vandre i alle hans Veje og hænge ved ham:
For if you keep the commandments which I am entrusting to you, and if you do them, so that you love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, clinging to him,
23 Da skal Herren fordrive alle disse Folk fra eders Ansigt, og I skulle eje større og stærkere Folk, end I selv ere.
the Lord will scatter all these nations before your face, and you shall possess them, though they are greater and stronger than you.
24 Hvert Sted, som I med eders Fodsaaler skulle træde paa, skal høre eder til: Fra Ørken og Libanon, fra Floden, den Flod Frat, og indtil det yderste Hav skal eders Landemærke være.
Every place upon which your foot shall tread will be yours. From the desert, and from Lebanon, from the great river Euphrates, as far as the western sea, shall be your borders.
25 Der skal ingen Mand kunne staa for eders Ansigt; Herren eders Gud skal lade Rædsel for eder og Frygt for eder komme over alt Landet, som I træde paa, ligesom han har sagt eder.
No one will stand against you. The Lord your God will spread the terror and dread of you over all the land upon which you shall tread, just as he has spoken to you.
26 Se, jeg lægger i Dag for eders Ansigt Velsignelse og Forbandelse:
Behold, I am setting forth in your sight today a blessing and a curse.
27 Velsignelsen, naar I lyde Herren eders Guds Bud, som jeg byder eder i Dag;
It will be a blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I am instructing to you this day.
28 og Forbandelsen, dersom I ikke lyde Herren eders Guds Bud, men vige fra den Vej, som jeg byder eder i Dag, saa at I vandre efter andre Guder, som I ikke kende.
It will be a curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but instead you withdraw from the way, which I am revealing to you now, and you walk after foreign gods that you have not known.
29 Og det skal ske, naar Herren din Gud fører dig ind i det Land, som du kommer hen til for at eje det, da skal du lyse Velsignelsen paa det Bjerg Garizim og Forbandelsen paa det Bjerg Ebal.
Yet truly, when the Lord your God will have led you into the land, to which you are traveling for a habitation, you shall place the blessing upon Mount Gerizim, the curse upon Mount Ebal,
30 Ere disse ikke paa hin Side Jordanen bag Vejen imod Solens Nedgang, i Kananiternes Land, som bo paa den slette Mark, tværs over for Gilgal ved More Lund?
which are across the Jordan, behind the way which slopes toward the setting of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite, who lives in the plains opposite Gilgal, which is near the valley extending toward and entering a distant place.
31 Thi I gaa over Jordanen for at komme ind at eje Landet, som Herren eders Gud giver eder; og I skulle eje det og bo i det.
For you shall cross over the Jordan, so that you may possess the land which the Lord your God will give you, so that you may have it and possess it.
32 Saa skulle I tage Vare paa at gøre efter alle de Skikke og Bud, som jeg lægger for eders Ansigt paa denne Dag.
Therefore, see to it that you fulfill the ceremonies and judgments, which I am placing in your sight this day.”
