5 Mosebog 11
1 Saa elsk da HERREN din Gud og hold hans Forskrifter, hans Anordninger, Lovbud og Bud alle Dage:
Thou shalt therefore love the Lord thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, all the days.
2 jeg taler ikke til eders Børn, der ikke har oplevet det og set det; betænk derfor i Dag HERREN eders Guds Optugtelse, hans Storhed, hans stærke Haand og udstrakte Arm,
And ye shall know this day, that [I speak] not with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatness, his strong hand, and his outstretched arm;
3 hans Tegn og Gerninger, som han gjorde midt i Ægypten mod Farao, Ægypterkongen, og hele hans Land,
And his signs, and his acts, which he displayed in the midst of Egypt, unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
4 og hvad han gjorde ved Ægypternes Hærmagt, deres Heste og Vogne, som han, da de forfulgte eder, lod det røde Havs Vande skylle hen over og tilintetgjorde for stedse,
And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto its horses, and to its chariots; over whom he caused the water of the Red Sea to flow, as they pursued after you, and whom the Lord destroyed unto this day;
5 og hvad han gjorde for eder i Ørkenen, lige til I kom til Stedet her,
And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came unto this place;
6 og hvad han gjorde ved Datan og Abiram, Rubens Søn Eliabs Sønner, hvorledes Jorden aabnede sin Mund og slugte dem tillige med deres Huse og Telte og alt, hvad der var i Ledtog med dem, midt iblandt hele Israel!
And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the living substance that followed them, in the midst of all Israel;
7 Thi med egne Øjne har I set al den Stordaad, HERREN har øvet!
But it is your own eyes which have seen all the great acts of the Lord which he hath done.
8 Saa hold da alle de Bud, jeg i Dag paalægger dig, for at I kan vinde Styrke og komme og tage det Land i Besiddelse, som I skal over og tage i Besiddelse,
Ye shall therefore keep all the commandment which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and take possession of the land, whither ye go over to possess it;
9 og for at I kan faa et langt Liv paa den Jord, HERREN tilsvor eders Fædre at ville give dem og deres Afkom, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning.
And in order that ye may live many days in the land, which the Lord hath sworn unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Thi det Land, du skal ind og tage i Besiddelse, er ikke som Ægypten, hvorfra I drog ud! Naar du der havde saaet din Sæd, maatte du vande Landet med din Fod, som en Urtehave;
For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not like the land of Egypt, from where ye came out, where thou sowest thy seed, and waterest it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs;
11 nej, det Land, I skal over og tage i Besiddelse, er et Land med Bjerge og Dale, der drikker Vand, naar Regnen falder fra Himmelen,
But the land, whither ye go over to possess it, is a land of mountains and valleys, from the rain of heaven doth it drink water.
12 et Land, som HERREN din Gud har Omhu for, og som HERREN din Guds Øjne stadig hviler paa, fra Aarets Begyndelse og til dets Slutning.
A land which the Lord thy God careth for; always are the eyes of the Lord thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
13 Og hvis I nu lyder mine Bud, som jeg i Dag paalægger eder, saa I elsker HERREN eders Gud og tjener ham af hele eders Hjerte og hele eders Sjæl,
And it shall come to pass, if ye will hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14 saa vil jeg give eders Land dets Regn i rette Tid, baade Tidligregn og Sildigregn, saa du kan høste dit Korn, din Most og din Olie;
That I will send rain for your land in its due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil.
15 og jeg vil give Græs paa din Mark til dit Kvæg; og du skal spise dig mæt.
And I will give grass in thy field for thy cattle; and thou shalt eat and be satisfied,
16 Men vogt eder, at ikke eders Hjerte daares, saa I falder fra og dyrker andre Guder og tilbeder dem;
Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
17 thi da vil HERRENS Vrede blusse op imod eder, og han vil lukke Himmelen, saa der ikke falder Regn, og Jorden ikke giver Grøde, og I skal hurtigt udryddes af det herlige Land, HERREN vil give eder.
[For] then the Lord's wrath will be kindled against you, and he will shut up the heavens that there be no rain, and the land will not yield her products; and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth unto you.
18 I skal lægge eder disse mine Ord paa Hjerte og Sinde, binde dem som et Tegn om eders Haand og lade dem være et Erindringsmærke paa eders Pande,
Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
19 og I skal lære eders Børn dem, idet I taler om dem, baade naar du sidder i dit Hus, og naar du vandrer paa Vejen, baade naar du lægger dig, og naar du staar op.
And ye shall teach them to your children, to speak of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
20 Og du skal skrive dem paa Dørstolperne af dit Hus og paa dine Porte,
And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.
21 for at I og eders Børn maa leve i det Land, HERREN tilsvor eders Fædre at ville give dem, saa længe Himmelen er over Jorden.
In order that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord swore unto your fathers to give unto them, as the days of the heavens over the earth.
22 Thi hvis I vogter vel paa alle disse Bud, som jeg i Dag paalægger eder at holde, saa I elsker HERREN eders Gud og vandrer paa alle hans Veje og hænger fast ved ham,
For if ye will diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, in order to do it, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him:
23 saa skal HERREN drive alle disse Folk bort foran eder, og I skal underlægge eder Folk, der er større og mægtigere end I.
Then will the Lord drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall supplant nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
24 Hver Plet, eders Fodsaal betræder, skal tilhøre eder; fra Ørkenen til Libanon og fra den store Flod, Eufratfloden, til Havet i Vest skal eders Landemærker strække sig.
Every place whereon the sole of your foot may tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and the Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the Western Sea shall be your boundary.
25 Ingen skal kunne holde Stand for eder; Skræk og Rædsel for eder skal HERREN eders Gud lade komme over hele det Land, I betræder, saaledes som han lovede eder.
There shall no man be able to stand up before you; the dread of you and the fear of you will the Lord your God lay upon all the land which ye may tread upon, as he hath spoken unto you.
26 Se, jeg forelægger eder i Dag Velsignelse og Forbandelse,
Behold, I lay before you this day a blessing and a curse:
27 Velsignelsen, hvis I lyder HERREN eders Guds Bud, som jeg i Dag paalægger eder,
The blessing, if ye will hearken unto the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day;
28 og Forbandelsen, hvis I ikke lyder HERREN eders Guds Bud, men viger bort fra den Vej, jeg i Dag foreskriver eder, for at holde eder til andre Guder, I ikke før kendte til.
And the curse, if ye will not hearken unto the commandments of the Lord your God, and ye turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye know not.
29 Og naar HERREN din Gud fører dig ind i det Land, du skal ind og tage i Besiddelse, saa skal du lægge Velsignelsen paa Garizims Bjerg og Forbandelsen paa Ebals Bjerg.
And it shall come to pass, when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizzim, and the curse upon mount 'Ebal.
30 De ligger jo hinsides Jordan, bag ved den, mod Vest, i de Kana'anæeres Land, der bor i Arabalavningen, lige over for Gilgal ved Sandsigerens Træ.
Behold, they are on the other side of the Jordan, far away in the direction of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites, who dwell in the plain, opposite Gilgal, near the grove of Moreh.
31 Thi I staar jo nu i Begreb med at overskride Jordan for at gaa ind og tage det Land i Besiddelse, som HERREN eders Gud vil give eder. Naar I da har taget det i Besiddelse og bosat eder der,
For ye are about to pass over the Jordan to go in to take possession of the land which the Lord your God giveth you; and ye will possess it, and dwell therein.
32 skal I omhyggeligt handle efter alle de Anordninger og Lovbud, jeg i Dag forelægger eder!
And ye shall then observe to do all the statutes and ordinances which I set before you this day.
