5 Mosebog 16

1 Tag Vare paa Abib Maaned, at du holder Paaske for Herren din Gud; thi i Abib Maaned udførte Herren din Gud dig af Ægypten om Natten.

Take note of the month of Abib and keep the Passover to the Lord your God: for in the month of Abib the Lord your God took you out of Egypt by night.

2 Og du skal slagte Paaskeoffer for Herren din Gud, smaat Kvæg og stort Kvæg, paa det Sted, som Herren skal udvælge, til der at lade sit Navn bo.

The Passover offering, from your flock or your herd, is to be given to the Lord your God in the place marked out by him as the resting-place of his name.

3 Du skal ikke æde syret Brød dertil, syv Dage skal du æde usyret Brød dertil, Trængselsbrød; thi med Hast drog du ud af Ægyptens Land; for at du skal ihukomme den Dag, da du uddrog af Ægyptens Land, alle dine Livsdage.

Take no leavened bread with it; for seven days let your food be unleavened bread, that is, the bread of sorrow; for you came out of the land of Egypt quickly: so the memory of that day, when you came out of the land of Egypt, will be with you all your life.

4 Og der skal ingen Surdejg ses hos dig inden alt dit Landemærke, syv Dage; og der skal intet af Kødet, som du slagter om Aftenen paa den første Dag, ligge Natten over til om Morgenen.

For seven days let no leaven be used through all your land; and nothing of the flesh which is put to death in the evening of the first day is to be kept through the night till morning.

5 Du maa ikke slagte Paaskeoffer i nogen af dine Byer, som Herren din Gud giver dig.

The Passover offering is not to be put to death in any of the towns which the Lord your God gives you:

6 Men paa det Sted, som Herren din Gud skal udvælge til der at lade sit Navn bo, der skal du slagte Paaskeofret om Aftenen, mod Solens Nedgang, paa den bestemte Tid, som du drog ud af Ægypten.

But in the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place of his name, there you are to put the Passover to death in the evening, at sundown, at that time of the year when you came out of Egypt.

7 Og du skal koge og æde det paa det Sted, som Herren din Gud skal udvælge; og om Morgenen skal du vende om og gaa til dine Telte.

It is to be cooked and taken as food in the place marked out by the Lord: and in the morning you are to go back to your tents.

8 Seks Dage skal du æde usyrede Brød; men paa den syvende Dag er en Slutningsfest for Herren din Gud, da skal du intet Arbejde gøre.

For six days let your food be unleavened bread; and on the seventh day there is to be a holy meeting to the Lord your God; no work is to be done.

9 Du skal tælle dig syv Uger; fra man begynder med Seglen paa det staaende Korn, skal du begynde at tælle syv Uger.

Let seven weeks be numbered from the first day when the grain is cut.

10 Og du skal holde Ugernes Højtid for Herren din Gud, efter hvad din Haand frivillig vil yde; efter hvad Herren din Gud velsigner dig med.

Then keep the feast of weeks to the Lord your God, with an offering freely given to him from the wealth he has given you:

11 Og du skal være glad for Herren din Guds Ansigt, du og din Søn og din Datter og din Tjener og din Tjenestepige og Leviten, som er inden dine Porte, og den fremmede og den faderløse og Enken, som er midt iblandt dig paa det Sted, som Herren din Gud skal udvælge til der at lade sit Navn bo.

Then you are to be glad before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is with you, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you, in the place marked out by the Lord your God as a resting-place for his name.

12 Og du skal komme i Hu, at du har været en Træl i Ægypten; og du skal holde og gøre disse Skikke.

And you will keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt: and you will take care to keep all these laws.

13 Du skal holde Løvsalernes Højtid for dig syv Dage, naar du har indsamlet af din Lo og af din Perse.

You are to keep the feast of tents for seven days after you have got in all your grain and made your wine:

14 Og du skal være glad under din Højtid, du og din Søn og din Datter og din Tjener og din Tjenestepige og Leviten og den fremmede og den faderløse og Enken, som ere inden dine Porte.

You are to keep the feast with joy, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you.

15 Syv Dage skal du holde Højtid for Herren din Gud paa det Sted, som Herren skal udvælge; fordi Herren din Gud skal velsigne dig i al din Afgrøde og i al dine Hænders Gerning, derfor skal du kun være glad.

Keep the feast to the Lord your God for seven days, in the place marked out by the Lord: because the blessing of the Lord your God will be on all the produce of your land and all the work of your hands, and you will have nothing but joy.

16 Tre Gange om Aaret skal alt dit Mandkøn ses for Herren din Guds Ansigt paa det Sted, som han skal udvælge, paa de usyrede Brøds Højtid og paa Ugernes Højtid og paa Løvsalernes Højtid; og der skal ingen ses tomhændet for Herrens Ansigt;

Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord your God in the place named by him; at the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tents: and they are not to come before the Lord with nothing in their hands;

17 men hver med Haands Gave, efter Herren din Guds Velsignelse, som han har givet dig.

Every man is to give as he is able, in the measure of the blessing which the Lord your God has given you.

18 Du skal sætte dig Dommere og Fogeder i alle dine Porte, som Herren din Gud giver dig, for dine Stammer; og de skulle dømme Folket med retfærdig Dom.

You are to make judges and overseers in all your towns which the Lord your God gives you, for every tribe: and they are to be upright men, judging the people in righteousness.

19 Du skal ikke bøje Retten, du skal ej heller anse nogens Person, og du skal ikke tage Gave; thi Gaven forblinder de vises Øjne og forvender de retfærdiges Sager.

You are not to be moved in your judging by a man's position, you are not to take rewards; for rewards make the eyes of the wise man blind, and the decisions of the upright false.

20 Ret, Ret skal du efterjage, at du maa leve og eje det Land, som Herren din Gud giver dig.

Let righteousness be your guide, so that you may have life, and take for your heritage the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

21 Du skal ikke sætte dig Astartebilleder af noget Slags Træ ved Herren din Guds Alter, som du skal gøre dig.

Let no holy tree of any sort be planted by the altar of the Lord your God which you will make.

22 Du skal ikke oprejse dig Støtter, hvilke Herren din Gud hader.

You are not to put up stone pillars, for they are hated by the Lord your God.
