< 5 Mosebog 12 >

1 Disse ere de Skikke og de Bud, som I skulle tage Vare paa at gøre efter i det Land, som Herren dine Fædres Gud har givet dig til Eje, alle de Dage, som I leve paa Jorden.
These are the laws and the decisions which you are to keep with care in the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you to be your heritage all the days of your life on earth.
2 I skulle ødelægge alle de Steder, hvor Hedningerne, hvilke I skulle eje, have tjent deres Guder, paa de høje Bjerge og paa Højene og under alle grønne Træer,
You are to give up to the curse all those places where the nations, whom you are driving out, gave worship to their gods, on the high mountains and the hills and under every green tree:
3 og I skulle nedbryde deres Altere og sønderslaa deres Støtter og opbrænde deres Astartebilleder med Ild og omhugge deres Guders udskaarne Billeder og udslette deres Navn fra dette Sted.
Their altars and their pillars are to be broken down, and their holy trees burned with fire, and the images of their gods cut down; you are to take away their names out of that place.
4 I skulle ikke gøre saaledes mod Herren eders Gud;
Do not so to the Lord your God.
5 men paa det Sted, som Herren eders Gud udvælger af alle eders Stammer til der at sætte sit Navn, der hvor han vil bo, skulle I søge ham, og derhen skal du komme.
But let your hearts be turned to the place which will be marked out by the Lord your God, among your tribes, to put his name there;
6 Og derhen skulle I føre eders Brændofre, og eders Slagtofre og eders Tiender og eders Hænders Offergaver og eders Løfter og eders frivillige Ofre og de førstefødte af eders store Kvæg og af eders smaa Kvæg;
And there you are to take your burned offerings and other offerings, and the tenth part of your goods, and the offerings to be lifted up to the Lord, and the offerings of your oaths, and those which you give freely from the impulse of your hearts, and the first births among your herds and your flocks;
7 og der skulle I æde for Herren eders Guds Ansigt, og I skulle være glade i alt det, som I udrække eders Hænder til, I og eders Huse, ved hvad Herren din Gud har velsignet dig med.
There you and all your families are to make a feast before the Lord your God, with joy in everything to which you put your hand, because the Lord has given you his blessing.
8 I skulle ikke i alt gøre efter det, som vi gøre her i Dag, saa at hver gør, hvad som helst er ret for hans Øjne.
You are not to do things then in the way in which we now do them here, every man as it seems right to him:
9 Thi I ere ikke endnu komne til Rolighed og til den Arv, som Herren din Gud giver dig.
For you have not come to the rest and the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you.
10 Naar I ere gangne over Jordanen og bo i Landet, som Herren eders Gud giver eder til Arv, og han giver eder Rolighed for alle eders Fjender trindt omkring, og I bo tryggeligen,
But when you have gone over Jordan and are living in the land which the Lord your God is giving you as your heritage, and when he has given you rest from all those on every side who are fighting against you, and you are living there safely;
11 da skal der være et Sted, som Herren eders Gud skal udvælge til at lade sit Navn bo der; derhen skulle I føre alt det, som jeg byder eder, eders Brændofre og eders Slagtofre, eders Tiende og eders Hænders Offergaver og alle eders udvalgte Løfter, hvilke I love Herren;
Then there will be a place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place for his name, and there you will take all the things which I give you orders to take: your burned offerings and other offerings, and the tenth part of your goods, and the offerings to be lifted up, and the offerings of your oaths which you make to the Lord;
12 og I skulle være glade for Herren eders Guds Ansigt, I og eders Sønner og eders Døtre og eders Tjenere og eders Tjenestepiger og Leviten, som er i eders Porte; thi han har ingen Del eller Arv med eder.
And you will be glad before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, and your men-servants and your women-servants, and the Levite who is with you in your house, because he has no part or heritage among you.
13 Tag dig i Vare, at du ikke ofrer dine Brændofre paa hvert det Sted, som du udser:
Take care that you do not make your burned offerings in any place you see:
14 Men paa det Sted, som Herren udvælger, i en af dine Stammer, der skal du ofre dine Brændofre, og der skal du gøre alt det, som jeg byder dig.
But in the place marked out by the Lord in one of your tribes, there let your burned offerings be offered, and there do what I have given you orders to do.
15 Dog maa du slagte og æde Kød efter al din Sjæls Lyst, efter Herren din Gudsvelsignelse, som han har givet dig, i alle dine Porte; den urene og den rene maa æde det, som var det en Raa eller en Hjort.
Only you may put to death animals, such as the gazelle or the roe, for your food in any of your towns, at the desire of your soul, in keeping with the blessing of the Lord your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may take of it.
16 Dog skulle I ikke æde Blodet; paa Jorden skal du udøse det som Vand.
But you may not take the blood for food, it is to be drained out on the earth like water.
17 Du maa ikke æde inden dine Porte Tiende af dit Korn og din nye Vin og din Olie, ej heller det førstefødte af dit store Kvæg eller dit smaa Kvæg, ej heller af noget af dine Løfter, som du har lovet, eller af dine frivillige Ofre eller af din Haands Gaver.
In your towns you are not to take as food the tenth part of your grain, or of your wine or your oil, or the first births of your herds or of your flocks, or anything offered under an oath, or freely offered to the Lord, or given as a lifted offering;
18 Men du skal æde det for Herren din Guds Ansigt paa det Sted, som Herren din Gud udvælger, du og din Søn og din Datter og din Tjener og din Tjenestepige og Leviten, som er i dine Porte; og du skal være glad for Herren din Guds Ansigt i alt det, som du udrækker dine Hænder til.
But they will be your food before the Lord your God in the place of his selection, where you may make a feast of them, with your son and your daughter, and your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is living with you: and you will have joy before the Lord your God in everything to which you put your hand.
19 Tag dig i Vare, at du ikke forlader Leviten, alle dine Dage i dit Land.
See that you do not give up caring for the Levite as long as you are living in your land.
20 Naar Herren din Gud udvider dine Landemærker, som han har tilsagt dig, og du siger: Jeg vil æde Kød; thi din Sjæl har Lyst til at æde Kød: Saa maa du æde Kød efter al din Sjæls Lyst.
When the Lord your God makes wide the limit of your land, as he has said, and you say, I will take flesh for my food, because you have a desire for it; then you may take whatever flesh you have a desire for.
21 Men er det Sted langt fra dig, hvilket Herren din Gud har udvalgt til der at sætte sit Navn, da maa du slagte af dit store Kvæg og af dit smaa Kvæg, som Herren har givet dig, ligesom jeg har budet dig, og du maa æde det inden dine Porte efter al din Sjæls Lyst.
If the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place for his name is far away from you, then take from your herds and from your flocks which the Lord has given you, as I have said, and have a meal of it in the towns where you may be living.
22 Dog kun, som var det en Raa eller en Hjort man æder, saaledes maa du æde det; den urene saavel som den rene maa æde det.
It will be your food, like the gazelle and the roe; the unclean and the clean may take of it.
23 Dog hold fast ved, at du ikke æder Blodet, thi Blodet er Sjælen; og du maa ikke æde Sjælen med Kødet.
But see that you do not take the blood for food; for the blood is the life; and you may not make use of the life as food with the flesh.
24 Du skal ikke æde det, du skal udøse det paa Jorden som Vand.
Do not take it for food but let it be drained out on the earth like water.
25 Du skal ikke æde det, at det maa gaa dig vel og dine Børn efter dig, naar du har gjort det, som ret er for Herrens Øjne.
Do not take it for food; so that it may be well for you and for your children after you, while you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.
26 Dog de Ting, som du helliger, som hørmer dig til, og dine Løfter, dem skal du tage og komme med til det Sted, som Herren skal udvælge.
But the holy things which you have, and the offerings of your oaths, you are to take to the place which will be marked out by the Lord:
27 Og du skal bringe dine Brændofre, Kødet og Blodet, paa Herren din Guds Alter, og Blodet af dine Ofre skal udøses paa Herren din Guds Alter, og Kødet maa du æde.
Offering the flesh and the blood of your burned offerings on the altar of the Lord your God; and the blood of your offerings is to be drained out on the altar of the Lord your God, and the flesh will be your food.
28 Tag Vare paa og hør alle disse Ord, som jeg byder dig, at det maa gaa dig vel og dine Børn efter dig evindeligen, naar du har gjort det, som godt og ret er for Herren din Guds Øjne.
Take note of all these orders I am giving you and give attention to them, so that it may be well for you and for your children after you for ever, while you do what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God.
29 Naar Herren din Gud faar udryddet Hedningerne for dit Ansigt, der hvor du drager hen at eje dem, og du ejer dem og bor i deres Land:
When the people of the land where you are going have been cut off before you by the Lord your God, and you have taken their land and are living in it;
30 Saa forvar dig, at du ikke falder i Snaren efter dem, efter at de ere ødelagte for dit Ansigt, og at du ikke søger deres Guder og siger: Ligesom disse Folk tjente deres Guder, saa vil jeg ogsaa gøre.
After their destruction take care that you do not go in their ways, and that you do not give thought to their gods, saying, How did these nations give worship to their gods? I will do as they did.
31 Du skal ikke gøre saaledes for Herren din Gud; thi de gjorde for deres Guder alt det, som er vederstyggeligt for Herren, det som han hader; thi de have endog brændt deres Sønner og deres Døtre i Ilden for deres Guder.
Do not so to the Lord your God: for everything which is disgusting to the Lord and hated by him they have done in honour of their gods: even burning their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.
32 I skulle holde hvert Ord, som jeg byder eder, at gøre derefter; du skal ikke lægge dertil og ej tage derfra.
You are to keep with care all the words I give you, making no addition to them and taking nothing from them.
