5 Mosebog 30
1 Og det skal ske, naar alle disse Ting komme over dig, Velsignelsen og Forbandelsen, som jeg har lagt for dit Ansigt, og du tager det igen til Hjerte iblandt alle Hedningerne, der, hvorhen Herren din Gud har fordrevet dig;
“I have now told you about the ways that Yahweh our God will bless you [if you obey him] and the ways that he will curse you [if you disobey him]. I am saying that you must choose which you want. But when [you choose not to obey his laws], some day you will be living in the countries to which he will scatter you, and you will remember [what I told you].
2 og du omvender dig til Herren din Gud, og du hører hans Røst, aldeles som jeg byder dig i Dag, du og dine Børn, af dit ganske Hjerte og af din ganske Sjæl;
Then, if you return to Yahweh our God and faithfully [IDM] obey all that I have today commanded you to do,
3 da skal Herren din Gud vende dit Fangenskab og forbarme sig over dig og atter samle dig fra alle de Folk, til hvilke Herren din Gud havde bortspredt dig.
he will be merciful to you. He will bring you back from the nations to which he scattered you, and he will cause you to be prosperous again.
4 Om nogen af dig var fordreven til Himmelens Ende, skal Herren din Gud samle dig derfra og tage dig derfra.
Even if you have been scattered to the most distant places on the earth, Yahweh our God will gather you from there and bring you back [to your land].
5 Og Herren din Gud skal føre dig til det Land, som dine Fædre ejede, og du skal eje det, og han skal gøre vel imod dig og formere dig mere end dine Fædre.
He will enable you to possess again the land where your ancestors lived. And he will cause you to be more prosperous and more numerous than you are now.
6 Og Herren din Gud skal omskære dit Hjerte og dit Afkoms Hjerte, at du skal elske Herren din Gud af dit ganske Hjerte og af din ganske Sjæl, at du maa leve.
Yahweh our God will change [MET] your inner beings, with the result that you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do. And then you will continue to live in that land.
7 Og Herren din Gud skal lægge alle disse Forbandelser paa dine Fjender og paa dem, som hade dig, og som have forfulgt dig.
Yahweh our God will cause your enemies and those who oppressed/persecuted you to experience all the disasters that I have told you about.
8 Men du skal omvende dig og høre paa Herrens Røst, og du skal gøre efter alle hans Bud, som jeg byder dig i Dag.
You will do what Yahweh wants you to do, as you did before, and you will obey all the commands that I have given to you today.
9 Og Herren din Gud skal give dig Overflod under alle dine Hænders Gerninger af dit Livs Frugt og af dit Kvægs Frugt og af dit Lands Frugt, dig til Gode; thi Herren vil atter glæde sig over dig til det gode, ligesom han glædede sig over dine Fædre,
Yahweh our God will cause you to be very successful in all that you do. You will have many children [IDM], and a lot of cattle, and you will have abundant crops. He will again be happy to enable you to prosper, just like he was happy to enable your ancestors to prosper.
10 naar du hører paa Herren din Guds Røst, saa at du holder hans Bud og hans Skikke, det som er skrevet i denne Lovbog; naar du omvender dig til Herren din Gud af dit ganske Hjerte og af din ganske Sjæl.
[But he will do those things only] if you do what he has told you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations that I have written about [in this scroll], and if you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do.
11 Thi dette Bud, som jeg byder dig i Dag, det er ikke underligt for dig, det er ej heller langt borte.
The commands that I am giving to you today are not very difficult for you [to obey], and they are not [difficult to know].
12 Det er ikke i Himmelen, at du maatte sige: Hvo vil fare os op til Himmelen og hente os det og lade os høre det, at vi maa gøre derefter?
They are not in heaven, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
13 Det er ej heller paa hin Side Havet, at du maatte sige: Hvo vil fare os over paa hin Side Havet og hente os det og lade os høre det, at vi maa gøre derefter?
And they are not on the other side of the sea, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
14 Thi det Ord er saare nær hos dig, i din Mund og i dit Hjerte, at du skal gøre derefter.
[You do not need to do that because] his commands are here with you. You know them [MTY] and you have (memorized them/put them in your minds). So you can [easily] obey them.
15 Se, jeg har lagt dig for i Dag Livet og det gode og Døden og det onde.
So listen! Today I am allowing you to choose between [doing what is] evil and [doing what is] good, between what will enable you to live [for a long time] and [what will cause you] to die [while you are still young].
16 Thi jeg byder dig i Dag at elske Herren din Gud, at vandre i hans Veje og at holde hans Bud og hans Skikke og hans Befalinger, at du maa leve og formeres, og Herren din Gud maa velsigne dig i det Land, som du kommer hen til for at eje det.
[I say again], if you obey the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, and if you love him and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations, you will prosper and become very numerous, and Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
17 Men dersom dit Hjerte vender sig bort, og du ikke hører, men lader dig forføre, saa at du tilbeder andre Guder og tjener dem:
But if you turn away [from Yahweh] and refuse to heed what he says, and if you allow yourselves to be led away to worship other gods,
18 Da forkynder jeg eder i Dag, at I skulle omkomme; I skulle ikke forlænge eders Dage i Landet, til hvilket du drager over Jordanen for at komme derhen til at eje det.
I am warning you today that you will [soon] die. You will not live for a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to enter and possess.
19 Jeg tager i Dag Himmelen og Jorden til Vidne mod eder, at jeg har forelagt dig Livet og Døden, Velsignelsen og Forbandelsen, at du maa udvælge Livet, paa det du maa leve, du og din Sæd,
I am requesting that [everyone in] heaven and the earth testify to you, that today I am allowing you to choose whether you [want to] live for a long time or to soon die, whether [you want Yahweh to] bless you or to curse you. So choose to live.
20 at du maa elske Herren din Gud og høre paa hans Røst og hænge ved ham; thi han er dit Liv og dine Dages Længde; at du maa blive i Landet, som Herren tilsvor dine Fædre, Abraham, Isak og Jakob, at give dem.
[Choose to] love Yahweh our God, and to obey him [MTY], and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him. If you do that, you and your descendants will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh solemnly promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give to them.”
