5 Mosebog 8
1 Iskulle holde alle de Bud, som jeg byder dig i Dag, saa at I gøre derefter, at I maa leve og formeres og komme ind og eje det Land, som Herren har tilsvoret eders Fædre.
“All the command which I am commanding you today you observe to do, so that you live, and have multiplied, and gone in, and possessed the land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers;
2 Og du skal ihukomme al den Vej, som Herren din Gud har ladet dig gaa disse fyrretyve Aar i Ørken for at ydmyge dig, for at forsøge dig, for at fornemme, hvad der var i dit Hjerte, om du vilde holde hans Bud eller ej.
and you have remembered all the way which your God YHWH has caused you to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble you to try you, to know that which [is] in your heart, whether you keep His commands or not.
3 Og han ydmygede dig og lod dig hungre og gav dig Man at æde, hvilket du ikke kendte, og dine Fædre ej kendte, for at lade dig vide, at Mennesket lever ikke ved Brødet alene, men Mennesket lever ved alt det, som udgaar af Herrens Mund.
And He humbles you, and causes you to hunger, and causes you to eat the manna (which you have not known, even your fathers have not known), in order to cause you to know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything proceeding [from] the mouth of YHWH.
4 Dit Klædebon blev ikke gammelt paa dig, og din Fod blev ikke hoven disse fyrretyve Aar.
Your raiment has not worn out from off you, and your foot has not swelled these forty years,
5 Saa kan du kende i dit Hjerte, at ligesom en Mand tugter sin Søn, har Herren din Gud tugtet dig.
and you have known with your heart that as a man disciplines his son, your God YHWH is disciplining you,
6 Saa hold Herren din Guds Bud, at du vandrer i hans Veje og frygter ham.
and you have kept the commands of your God YHWH, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.
7 Thi Herren din Gud fører dig ind i et godt Land, et Land med Vandbække, Kilder og dybe Brønde, som udvælde i Dalene og paa Bjergene;
For your God YHWH is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain;
8 et Land med Hvede og Byg og Vintræer og Figentræer og Granatæbletræer, et Land med Olietræer og Honning,
a land of wheat, and barley, and vine, and fig, and pomegranate; a land of oil olive and honey;
9 et Land, hvor du ikke skal æde Brød i Armod, hvor du ikke skal fattes noget; et Land, hvis Stene ere Jern, og af hvis Bjerge du kan udhugge Kobber.
a land in which you eat bread without scarcity—you do not lack anything in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and you dig bronze out of its mountains.
10 Og du skal æde og blive mæt og love Herren din Gud for det gode Land, som han har givet dig.
And you have eaten and been satisfied, and have blessed your God YHWH on the good land which he has given to you.
11 Vogt dig, at du ikke forglemmer Herren din Gud, saa at du ikke holder hans Bud og hans Befalinger og hans Skikke, som jeg byder dig i Dag;
Take heed to yourself lest you forget your God YHWH so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding you today;
12 at du ikke skal æde og blive mæt og bygge gode Huse og bo deri,
lest you eat and have been satisfied, and build good houses and have inhabited [them],
13 og dit store Kvæg og dit smaa Kvæg skal formeres, og Sølv og Guld skal formeres for dig, og alt det, som du har, formeres,
and your herd and your flock are multiplied, and silver and gold are multiplied to you, and all that is yours is multiplied,
14 og dit Hjerte skulde ophøje sig, og du skulde glemme Herren din Gud, som udførte dig af Ægyptens Land, af Trælles Hus;
and your heart has been high, and you have forgotten your God YHWH who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
15 ham, som ledte dig igennem den store og forfærdelige Ørk, hvor der var giftige Slanger og Skorpioner og Tørhed, hvor der ikke var Vand; ham, som lod Vand udflyde til dig af en haard Stenklippe;
who is causing you to go in the great and the terrible wilderness [with] burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirst—where there is no water; who is bringing out waters to you from the flinty rock;
16 ham, som gav dig Man at æde i Ørken, hvilket dine Fædre ikke kendte, for at ydmyge dig og for at forsøge dig og at gøre vel imod dig i den sidste Tid;
who is causing you to eat manna in the wilderness, which your fathers have not known, in order to humble you, and in order to try you, to do you good in your latter end;
17 og du skulde sige i dit Hjerte: Min Kraft og min Haands Styrke har skaffet mig denne Vælde.
and you have said in your heart, My power and the might of my hand have made this wealth for me.
18 Men du skal komme Herren din Gud i Hu, thi han er den, som giver dig Kraft til at skaffe dig Vælde, for at stadfæste sin Pagt, som han svor dine Fædre, som det ses paa denne Dag.
And you have remembered your God YHWH, for it [is] He who is giving power to you to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He has sworn to your fathers, as [at] this day.
19 Og det skal ske, om du glemmer Herren din Gud og vandrer efter andre Guder og tjener og tilbeder dem, da vidner jeg over eder i Dag, at I skulle omkomme.
And it has been, if you really forget your God YHWH, and have gone after other gods, and served them, and bowed yourself to them, I have testified against you today that you utterly perish.
20 Ligesom Hedningerne, hvilke Herren lader omkomme for eders Ansigt, saaledes skulle I omkomme, fordi I ikke vilde høre Herren eders Guds Røst.
As the nations whom YHWH is destroying from your presence, so you perish, because you do not listen to the voice of your God YHWH.”
