5 Mosebog 10

1 Ved denne Tid sagde HERREN til mig: »Tilhug dig to Stentavler ligesom de forrige og stig op til mig paa Bjerget; lav dig ogsaa en Ark af Træ!

“At that time, the Lord said to me: ‘Hew for yourself two tablets of stone, like those that were before, and ascend to me on the mountain. And you shall make an ark of wood.

2 Saa vil jeg paa Tavlerne skrive de Ord, der stod paa de forrige Tavler, som du knuste, og du skal lægge dem ned i Arken!«

And I will write on the tablets the words which were on those that you broke before, and you shall place them in the ark.’

3 Da lavede jeg en Ark af Akacietræ og tilhuggede to Stentavler ligesom de forrige og steg op paa Bjerget med de to Tavler i Haanden.

And so, I made an ark of setim wood. And when I had hewn two tablets of stone like the former, I ascended onto the mountain, having them in my hands.

4 Og han skrev paa Tavlerne det samme, som var skrevet første Gang, de ti Ord, som HERREN havde talt til eder paa Bjerget ud fra Ilden, den Dag I var forsamlet. Og HERREN overgav mig dem.

And he wrote on the tablets, according to that which he had written before, the ten words, which the Lord spoke to you on the mountain from the midst of fire, when the people were assembled. And he gave them to me.

5 Saa vendte jeg mig bort og steg ned fra Bjerget og lagde Tavlerne i den Ark, jeg havde lavet, og der blev de liggende, som HERREN havde paalagt mig.

And returning from the mountain, I descended and placed the tablets in the ark, which I had made, and they are still there even now, just as the Lord instructed me.

6 Og Israeliterne drog fra Be'erot-bene-Ja'akan til Mosera. Der døde Aron, og der blev han jordet, og hans Søn Eleazar blev Præst i hans Sted.

Then the sons of Israel moved their camp, from Beeroth among the sons of Jaakan, into Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried, and where his son Eleazar was installed in the priesthood in his place.

7 Derfra drog de til Gudgoda og fra Gudgoda til Jotbata, en Egn med Vandløb.

From there, they went into Gudgodah. From that place, they set out and camped at Jotbathah, in a land of waters and torrents.

8 Paa den Tid udskilte HERREN Levis Stamme til at bære HERRENS Pagts Ark og til at staa for HERRENS Aasyn og tjene ham og velsigne i hans Navn, som det sker den Dag i Dag.

At that time, he separated the tribe of Levi, so that he would carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and stand before him in the ministry, and speak blessings in his name, even to the present day.

9 Derfor fik Levi ikke Arvelod og Del sammen med sine Brødre; HERREN selv er hans Arvelod, som HERREN din Gud lovede ham.

As a result, Levi has no portion or possession with his brothers. For the Lord himself is his possession, just as the Lord your God promised him.

10 Men jeg blev paa Bjerget lige saa længe som forrige Gang, fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter, og HERREN bønhørte mig ogsaa denne Gang; HERREN vilde ikke tilintetgøre dig.

Then I stood on the mountain, as before, for forty days and nights. And the Lord heeded me at this time also, and he was not willing to destroy you.

11 Da sagde HERREN til mig: »Rejs dig og bryd op i Spidsen for Folket, for at de kan komme og tage det Land i Besiddelse, jeg tilsvor deres Fædre at ville give dem!«

And he said to me: ‘Go forth and walk before the people, so that they may enter and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers that I would deliver to them.’

12 Og nu, Israel! Hvad andet kræver HERREN din Gud af dig, end at du skal frygte HERREN din Gud, saa du vandrer paa alle hans Veje, og at du skal elske ham og tjene HERREN din Gud af hele dit Hjerte og hele din Sjæl,

And now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? Only that you fear the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and love him, and serve the Lord your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul,

13 saa du holder HERRENS Bud og Anordninger, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig, for at det maa gaa dig vel.

and that you keep the commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies, which I am instructing to you this day, so that it may be well with you.

14 Se, Himmelen og Himlenes Himle og Jorden med alt, hvad der er paa den, tilhører HERREN din Gud;

Lo, heaven belongs to the Lord your God, and the heaven of heaven, and the earth, and all the things that are within these.

15 men kun til dine Fædre fattede han Velbehag, saa han elskede dem, og eder, deres Afkom, udvalgte han af alle Folkeslag, som det nu er kendeligt.

Now the Lord was closely joined to your fathers, and he loved them, and he chose their offspring after them, that is, you yourselves, out of all the nations, just as is being proven today.

16 Saa omskær nu eders Hjerters Forhud og gør ikke mer eders Nakker stive!

Therefore, circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and no longer stiffen your neck.

17 Thi HERREN eders Gud er Gudernes Gud og Herrernes Herre, den store, vældige, forfærdelige Gud, som ikke viser Personsanseelse eller lader sig købe,

For the Lord your God himself is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, a God great and powerful and terrible, who favors no person and accepts no bribe.

18 som skaffer den faderløse og Enken Ret og elsker den fremmede og giver ham Brød og klæder.

He accomplishes judgment for the orphan and the widow. He loves the sojourner, and he gives him food as well as clothing.

19 Derfor skal I elske den fremmede, thi I var selv fremmede i Ægypten.

Therefore, you also should love sojourners, for you also were new arrivals in the land of Egypt.

20 HERREN din Gud skal du frygte: ham skal du tjene, ved ham skal du holde fast, og ved hans Navn skal du sværge!

You shall fear the Lord your God, and him alone shall you serve. You shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.

21 Han er din Lovsang, og han er din Gud, han, som har gjort disse store og forfærdelige Ting imod dig, som du med egne Øjne har set!

He is your praise and your God. He has done for you these great and terrible things, which your eyes have seen.

22 Halvfjerdsindstyve i Tal drog dine Fædre ned til Ægypten, og nu har HERREN din Gud gjort dig talrig som Himmelens Stjerner!

As seventy souls, your fathers descended into Egypt. And now, behold, the Lord your God has multiplied you to be like the stars of heaven.”
