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!
“Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Cut two stone tablets like the first ones. And make a wooden chest to put them in. Then [bring the tablets] up to me on this 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 on those tablets the same words that I wrote on the first tablets, the ones that you broke. Then you can put them in the chest.’
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.
“So I made a chest. I used wood from an acacia tree to make it. Then I cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I went up the mountain carrying the tablets.
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.
There Yahweh wrote on the tablets the [same] Ten Commandments [that he had written on the first tablet]. They are the commandments that he told to your ancestors from the middle of the fire on the mountain, when they were gathered [at the bottom of the mountain]. Then Yahweh gave the tablets 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 turned and went down the mountain. Then, just as he had commanded, I put them in the chest that I had made. And they are still there.”
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, from the wells that belonged to the people of Jaakan, the Israeli people traveled to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and his son Eleazar took his place and became the Supreme Priest.
7 Derfra drog de til Gudgoda og fra Gudgoda til Jotbata, en Egn med Vandløb.
From there, the Israelis traveled to Gudgodah, and from there to Jotbathah, which was a place 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 that time, Yahweh (set apart/appointed) the tribe of Levi to carry the chest that contained [the tablets on which were written] the Ten Commandments, and to stand in Yahweh’s presence [in the sacred tent], to offer sacrifices, and to pray for Yahweh to bless [the people. They are still doing those things] at the present time.
9 Derfor fik Levi ikke Arvelod og Del sammen med sine Brødre; HERREN selv er hans Arvelod, som HERREN din Gud lovede ham.
That is the reason that the tribe of Levi did not receive any land like the other tribes did. What they received was the work/privilege of being Yahweh’s [priests], which is what he said that they should do.)
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 stayed on the mountain 40 days and nights, just like I did the first time. [I prayed to] Yahweh, and he (answered my prayers/did what I requested) again and said that he would not destroy your ancestors.
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 Yahweh said to me, ‘Continue your journey, going in front of the people, to occupy the land that I vowed your ancestors that I would give to you.’”
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,
“Now, you Israeli people, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what Yahweh our God requires/demands that you do. He requires you to revere him, to conduct your lives as he wants you to, to love him, and to serve him wholeheartedly [DOU],
13 saa du holder HERRENS Bud og Anordninger, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig, for at det maa gaa dig vel.
and to obey all of his commandments [DOU] which I am giving to you today for your benefit.
14 Se, Himmelen og Himlenes Himle og Jorden med alt, hvad der er paa den, tilhører HERREN din Gud;
“Do not forget that Yahweh our God owns even the sky and everything that is in it. He also owns the earth and everything that is on it.
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 [in spite of owning all those things], Yahweh loved your ancestors, and from all the people-groups [on the earth] he chose us, their descendants, and we are still his people.
16 Saa omskær nu eders Hjerters Forhud og gør ikke mer eders Nakker stive!
So you must stop sinning [MET] and stop being stubborn [IDM]!
17 Thi HERREN eders Gud er Gudernes Gud og Herrernes Herre, den store, vældige, forfærdelige Gud, som ikke viser Personsanseelse eller lader sig købe,
Yahweh our God is greater than all gods, and he is greater than all rulers. He is very powerful [DOU] and awesome. He (is impartial/does not do things that favor one (group/person) more than others), and he does not accept 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 are treated fairly. He loves even (foreigners/people from other countries) who live among us Israeli people, and he gives them food and clothes.
19 Derfor skal I elske den fremmede, thi I var selv fremmede i Ægypten.
So you must love those foreigners too, because you were once foreigners when you were living 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!
Revere Yahweh our God and worship only him. (Be faithful to/Have a close relationship with) him, and say that he should punish you if you do not do what you promise.
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 whom you must praise. He is our God, and we have seen the great and amazing things that he has done for us.
22 Halvfjerdsindstyve i Tal drog dine Fædre ned til Ægypten, og nu har HERREN din Gud gjort dig talrig som Himmelens Stjerner!
When our ancestors, [Jacob and his family], went down to Egypt, there were only seventy of them. But now Yahweh our God has caused us to be as numerous as the stars in the sky.”
