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!
After that the Lord told me, “Cut out two stone tablets just like the first ones, make an Ark out of wood, and come up to me on the mountain.
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!«
I will write same the words on the tablets that were on the first ones, which you broke. Then put 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.
I made an Ark out of acacia wood, cut out two stone tablets like the first ones, and went up the mountain carrying them.
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.
The Lord wrote what he had before on the tablets, the Ten Commandments that he'd told you when he spoke from the fire on the mountain when we were all assembled there. The Lord 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 I went back down the mountain and put them in the Ark I'd made following the Lord's instructions. They have been there ever since.
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.
The Israelites went from the wells of the people of Jaakan to Moserah. Aaron died there and was buried, and Eleazar his son took over as priest.
7 Derfra drog de til Gudgoda og fra Gudgoda til Jotbata, en Egn med Vandløb.
From there they moved on to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land that had many streams.
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 this time the Lord put the tribe of Levi in charge of carrying the Ark of the Lord's Agreement, as well as serving the Lord by standing in his presence, and of pronouncing blessings in his name, as they continue to do to this day.
9 Derfor fik Levi ikke Arvelod og Del sammen med sine Brødre; HERREN selv er hans Arvelod, som HERREN din Gud lovede ham.
That's why the tribe of Levi has no land allowance or share among the other tribes. The Lord provides what they need, just as the Lord your God promised.
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.
I remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights as before, and during that time the Lord listened to my prayers once more and agreed not 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!«
Then the Lord told me, “Get ready and continue your journey leading the people so they may enter and take over the land that I promised their forefathers to give 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,
People of Israel, what does the Lord your God want from you? He wants you to respect the Lord your God by following all his ways. He wants you to love him. He wants you to worship the Lord your God with all your mind and with all your being,
13 saa du holder HERRENS Bud og Anordninger, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig, for at det maa gaa dig vel.
He wants you to keep the commandments and regulations of the Lord that I am giving you today for your own good.
14 Se, Himmelen og Himlenes Himle og Jorden med alt, hvad der er paa den, tilhører HERREN din Gud;
Look! Everything belongs to the Lord your God: the heavens, the highest heavens, and the earth and all that is there.
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.
But Lord was attracted to your forefathers and he loved them. He has also chosen you, their descendants, above any other people, even up till today.
16 Saa omskær nu eders Hjerters Forhud og gør ikke mer eders Nakker stive!
Dedicate yourselves to God. Don't be stubborn and hard-hearted anymore.
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 is God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great, powerful, and awesome God. He shows no favoritism and accepts no bribes.
18 som skaffer den faderløse og Enken Ret og elsker den fremmede og giver ham Brød og klæder.
He makes sure that orphans and widows receive justice, and he loves the foreigners, providing them with food and clothing.
19 Derfor skal I elske den fremmede, thi I var selv fremmede i Ægypten.
You too must love the foreigner because you yourselves were once foreigners in 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 must respect the Lord your God and worship him. Hold onto him and make your promises in 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 the one you should praise and he is your God, who has carried out for you these incredible and awesome miracles that you've seen with your own eyes.
22 Halvfjerdsindstyve i Tal drog dine Fædre ned til Ægypten, og nu har HERREN din Gud gjort dig talrig som Himmelens Stjerner!
When your forefathers went to Egypt there were only seventy of them in total, but now God has increased your numbers so much that there are as many of you as there are stars in the sky.
