5 Mosebog 4
1 Og nu, Israel! hør paa de Skikke og de Bud, som jeg lærer eder at holde, paa det I maa leve og komme ind og eje Landet, som Herren eders Fædres Gud vil give eder.
And now, Israel, hear the ordinances and judgments, all that I teach you this day to do: that you may live, and be multiplied, and that you may go in and inherit the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you.
2 I skulle intet lægge til det Ord, som jeg byder eder, og intet tage derfra, at I maa bevare Herren eders Guds Bud, som jeg har budet eder.
You shall not add to the word which I command you, and you shall not take from it: keep the commandments of the Lord our God, all that I command you this day.
3 Eders Øjne have set, hvad Herren har gjort for Baal-Peors Skyld; thi hver Mand, som gik efter Baal-Peor, ham har Herren din Gud udslettet af din Midte.
Your eyes have seen all that the Lord our God did in [the case of] Beel-phegor; for every man that went after Beel-phegor, the Lord your God has utterly destroyed him from among you.
4 Men I, som hængte hardt ved Herren eders Gud, I leve alle paa denne Dag.
But you that kept close to the Lord your God are all alive today.
5 Se, jeg har lært eder Skikke og Bud, eftersom Herren min Gud befalede mig, at I skulle gøre saaledes midt i Landet, hvorhen I skulle komme for at eje det.
Behold, I have shown you ordinances and judgments as the Lord commanded me, that you should do so in the land into which you go to inherit it.
6 Saa holder dem og gører efter dem; thi det skal være eders Visdom og eders Forstand for Folkenes Øjne, som skulle høre om alle disse Skikke, og de skulle sige: Alene dette store Folk er et viist og forstandigt Folk.
And you shall keep and do them: for this is your wisdom and understanding before all nations, as many as shall hear all these ordinances; and they shall say, Behold, this great nation [is] a wise and understanding people.
7 Thi hvor er saa stort et Folk, til hvilket Guder holde sig nær, saaledes som Herren vor Gud til os, saa tidt vi kalde paa ham?
For what manner of nation [is so] great, which has God so near to them as the Lord our God [is] in all things in whatever we may call upon him?
8 Og hvor er saa stort et Folk, som har saa retfærdige Skikke og Bud, som hele denne Lov er, hvilken jeg i Dag lægger for eders Ansigt?
And what manner of nation [is so] great, which has righteous ordinances and judgments according to all this law, which I set before you this day?
9 Ikkun tag dig i Vare og bevar din Sjæl vel, at du ikke forglemmer de Ting, som dine Øjne have set, og at de ikke vige fra dit Hjerte alle dine Livsdage; men du skal kundgøre dem for dine Børn og for dine Børnebørn:
Take heed to yourself, and keep your heart diligently: forget not any of the things, which your eyes have seen, and let them not depart from your heart all the days of your life; and you shall teach your sons and your sons' sons,
10 Den Dag, da du stod for Herren din Guds Ansigt ved Horeb, der Herren sagde til mig: Saml til mig Folket, saa vil jeg lade dem høre mine Ord, som de skulle lære, for at frygte mig alle de Dage, som de leve paa Jorden, og de skulle lære deres Børn dem.
[even the things that happened in] the day in which you stood before the Lord our God in Choreb in the day of the assembly; for the Lord said to me, Gather the people to me, and let them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days which they live upon the earth, and they shall teach their sons.
11 Og I kom nær til og stode neden for Bjerget, og Bjerget brændte med Ild indtil midt op i Himmelen, der var Mørke, Sky, ja forfærdeligt Mørke.
And you drew near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire up to heaven: [there was] darkness, blackness, [and] tempest.
12 Og Herren talede til eder midt ud af Ilden; I hørte Ordets Røst, men I saa ingen Skikkelse foruden Røsten.
And the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire a voice of words, which you heard: and you saw no likeness, only [you heard] a voice.
13 Og han forkyndte eder sin Pagt, hvilken han bød eder at holde, de ti Ord; og han skrev dem paa to Stentavler.
And he announced to you his covenant, which he commanded you to keep, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them on two tables of stone.
14 Og Herren bød mig paa den samme Tid at lære eder Skikke og Bud, at I skulle gøre derefter i det Land, som I drage over til for at eje det.
And the Lord commanded me at that time, to teach you ordinances and judgments, that you should do them on the land, into which you go to inherit it.
15 Saa bevarer eders Sjæle vel, fordi I saa slet ingen Skikkelse paa den Dag, der Herren talede til eder paa Horeb midt ud af Ilden,
And take good heed to your hearts, for you saw no similitude in the day in which the Lord spoke to you in Choreb in the mountain out of the midst of the fire:
16 at I ikke skulle handle fordærveligt og gøre eder et udskaaret Billede, en Skikkelse af noget Billede, en Lignelse af Mand eller Kvinde,
lest you transgress, and make to yourselves a carved image, any kind of figure, the likeness of male or female,
17 en Lignelse af noget Dyr, som er paa Jorden, en Lignelse af nogen vinget Fugl, som flyver under Himmelen,
the likeness of any beast of those that are on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird which flies under heaven,
18 en Lignelse af noget krybende Dyr paa Jorden, en Lignelse af nogen Fisk, som er i Vandet under Jorden;
the likeness of any reptile which creeps on the earth, the likeness of any fish of those which are in the waters under the earth;
19 og at du ikke skal opløfte dine Øjne til Himmelen og se Solen og Maanen og Stjernerne, den ganske Himmelens Hær, og tilskyndes til at tilbede dem og tjene dem, hvilke Herren din Gud har uddelt til alle Folkene under den ganske Himmel.
and lest having looked up to the sky, and having seen the sun and the moon and the stars, and all the heavenly bodies, you should go astray and worship them, and serve them, which the Lord your God has distributed to all the nations under heaven.
20 Men eder tog Herren og udførte eder af Jernovnen, af Ægypten, for at være hans Arvs Folk, som man ser paa denne Dag.
But God took you, and led you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as at this day.
21 Og Herren blev vred paa mig for eders Handelers Skyld og svor, at jeg ikke skulde gaa over Jordanen, ej heller komme ind i det gode Land, som Herren din Gud giver dig til Arv.
And the Lord God was angry with me for the things said by you, and sware that I should not go over this Jordan, and that I should not enter into the land, which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.
22 Thi jeg dør i dette Land, jeg gaar ikke over Jordanen; men I skulle gaa over den og eje dette gode Land.
For I am to die in this land, and shall not pass over this Jordan; but you are to pass over, and shall inherit this good land.
23 Tager eder i Vare, at I ikke forglemme Herren eders Guds Pagt, som han har gjort med eder, saa at I gøre eder et udskaaret Billede, en Skikkelse af nogen som helst Ting, hvad Herren din Gud har forbudet dig.
Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord our God, which he made with you, and you transgress, and make to yourselves a graven image of any of the things concerning which the Lord your God commanded you.
24 Thi Herren din Gud, han er en fortærende Ild, en nidkær Gud.
For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
25 Naar du avler Børn og Børnebørn, og I blive gamle i Landet, og I handle fordærveligt og gøre et udskaaret Billede, en Skikkelse af nogen som helst Ting, og I gøre det onde for Herren eders Guds Øjne til at opirre ham:
And when you shall have begotten sons, and shall have sons' sons, and you shall have lived a long time on the land, and shall have transgressed, and made a graven image of any thing, and shall have done wickedly before the Lord your God to provoke him;
26 Da tager jeg i Dag Himmelen og Jorden til Vidne imod eder, at I snart skulle udryddes af det Land, til hvilket I nu drage hen over Jordanen for at eje det; I skulle ikke forlænge eders Dage i det, thi I skulle blive aldeles ødelagte.
I call heaven and earth this day to witness against you, that you shall surely perish from off the land, into which you go across Jordan to inherit it there; you shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall be utterly cut off.
27 Og Herren skal adsprede eder iblandt Folkene, saa at I skulle blive som en liden Hob tilovers iblandt Hedningerne, hvor Herren skal føre eder hen.
And the Lord shall scatter you among all nations, and you shall be left few in number among all the nations, among which the Lord shall bring you.
28 Og der skulle I tjene Guder, et Menneskes Hænders Gerning, Træ og Sten, som hverken kunne se eller høre eller æde eller lugte.
And you shall there serve other gods, the works of the hands of men, wood and stones, which can’t see, nor can they hear, nor eat, nor smell.
29 Og I skulle derfra søge Herren din Gud, og du skal finde ham, naar du leder efter ham af dit ganske Hjerte og af din ganske Sjæl.
And there you shall seek the Lord your God, and you shall find him whenever you shall seek him with all your heart, and with all your soul in your affliction.
30 Naar du faar Angst, og alle disse Ting ramme dig i de sidste Dage, da skal du omvende dig til Herren din Gud og høre paa hans Røst.
And all these things shall come upon you in the last days, and you shall turn to the Lord your God, and shall listen to his voice.
31 Thi Herren din Gud er en barmhjertig Gud, han skal ikke opgive dig eller ødelægge dig; han skal ikke heller glemme den Pagt med dine Fædre, som han svor dem.
Because the Lord your God [is] a God of pity: he will not forsake you, nor destroy you; he will not forget the covenant of your fathers, which the Lord sware to them.
32 Thi spørg, kære, om de forrige Dage, som have været før dig, fra den Dag Gud skabte Menneskene paa Jorden, og fra Himmelens ene Ende og indtil Himmelens anden Ende, om der er sket noget som denne store Ting, eller om der er hørt noget som dette?
Ask of the former days which were before you, from the day when God created man upon the earth, and [beginning] at the [one] end of heaven to the other end of heaven, if there has happened any thing like to this great event, if such a thing has been heard:
33 Om et Folk har hørt Guds Røst talende midt ud af Ilden, saaledes som du har hørt, og er blevet ved Live?
if a nation have heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard and have lived;
34 Eller om Gud har forsøgt at komme for at tage sig et Folk midt ud af Folket, ved Forsøgelser, ved Tegn og ved underlige Gerninger og ved Krig og ved en stærk Haand og ved en udrakt Arm og ved store forfærdelige Gerninger, efter alt det som Herren eders Gud har gjort ved eder i Ægypten for dine Øjne?
if God has assayed to go and take to himself a nation out of the midst of [another] nation with trial, and with signs, and with wonders, and with war, and with a mighty hand, and with a high arm, and with great sights, according to all the things which the Lord our God did in Egypt in your sight.
35 Dig er det blevet vist, for at du skal vide, at Herren han er Gud, ingen uden han alene.
So that you should know that the Lord your God he is God, and there is none beside him.
36 Af Himmelen har han ladet dig høre sin Røst for at undervise dig, og paa Jorden har han ladet dig se sin store Ild, og du har hørt hans Ord midt ud af Ilden.
His voice was made audible from heaven to instruct you, and he showed you upon the earth his great fire, and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire.
37 Og fordi han elskede dine Fædre, da udvalgte han deres Sæd efter dem, og han udførte dig af Ægypten ved sit Ansigt, ved sin store Kraft,
Because he loved your fathers, he also chose you their seed after them, and he brought you himself with his great strength out of Egypt,
38 for at uddrive for dit Ansigt større og stærkere Folk, end du er, for at føre dig ind og give dig deres Land til Arv, som det ses paa denne Dag.
to destroy nations great and stronger than you before your face, to bring you in, to give you their land to inherit, as you have it this day.
39 Saa skal du vide i Dag og tage dig det til Hjerte, at Herren er Gud i Himmelen oventil og paa Jorden nedentil, der er ingen ydermere.
An you shall know this day, and shall consider in your heart, that the Lord your God he [is] God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath, and there is none else but he.
40 Og du skal holde hans Skikke og hans Bud, som jeg byder dig i Dag, at det skal gaa dig vel og dine Børn efter dig, og at du maa forlænge Dagene i det Land, som Herren din Gud giver dig alle Dage.
And keep you his commandments, and his ordinances, all that I command you this day; that it may be well with you, and with your sons after you, that you may be long-lived upon the earth, which the Lord your God gives you for ever.
41 Da fraskilte Mose tre Stæder paa denne Side Jordanen, imod Solens Opgang,
Then Moses separated three cities beyond Jordan on the east,
42 for at en Manddraber, som slaar sin Næste ihjel af Vanvare og uden at han hadede ham tilforn, kunde fly derhen; og at han kunde fly til en af disse Stæder og blive ved Live:
that the slayer might flee there, who should have slain his neighbor unintentionally, and should not have hated him in times past, and he shall flee to one of these cities and live:
43 Nemlig Bezer i Ørken, paa det jævne Land, hos Rubeniterne og Ramoth i Gilead hos Gaditerne og Golan i Basan hos Manassiterne.
Bosor in the wilderness, in the plain country of Ruben, and Ramoth in Galaad [belonging to] Gad, and Gaulon in Basan [belonging to] Manasse.
44 Og dette er Loven, som Mose satte for Israels Børns Ansigt,
This [is] the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.
45 disse ere Vidnesbyrdene og Skikkene og Budene, som Mose forkyndte Israels Børn, der de vare udgangne af Ægypten,
These [are] the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt:
46 paa denne Side Jordanen, i Dalen over for Beth-Peor, i den amoritiske Konge Sihons Land, han, som boede i Hesbon, hvem Mose og Israels Børn sloge, der de vare udgangne af Ægypten.
on the other side of Jordan, in the valley near the house of Phogor, in the land of Seon king of the Amorites, who lived in Esebon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel struck when they came out of the land of Egypt.
47 Og de toge hans Land og Ogs, Kongen af Basans, Land til Eje, de to amoritiske Kongers, som vare paa denne Side Jordanen, mod Solens Opgang,
And they inherited his land, and the land of Og king of Basan, two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan eastward.
48 fra Arder, som ligger ved Bækken Arnons Bred, og indtil Sions Bjerg, det er Hermon,
From Aroer, which is on the border of the brook Arnon, even to the mount of Seon, which is Aermon.
49 og hele den slette Mark paa denne Side Jordanen mod Østen, og indtil Havet ved den slette Mark neden for Foden af Pisga.
All Araba beyond Jordan eastward under Asedoth hewn in the rock.
