5 Mosebog 11
1 Saa elsk da HERREN din Gud og hold hans Forskrifter, hans Anordninger, Lovbud og Bud alle Dage:
Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.
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 know ye this day: for [I speak] not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
3 hans Tegn og Gerninger, som han gjorde midt i Ægypten mod Farao, Ægypterkongen, og hele hans Land,
and his signs, and his works, which he did 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 their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them 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 every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel:
7 Thi med egne Øjne har I set al den Stordaad, HERREN har øvet!
but your eyes have seen all the great work of the LORD which he did.
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,
Therefore shall ye keep all the commandment which I command thee this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess 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 that ye may prolong your days upon the land, which the LORD sware 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 as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst 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 hills and valleys, [and] drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
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; the eyes of the LORD thy God are always 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 shall 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 give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine 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 fields for thy cattle, and thou shalt eat and be full.
16 Men vogt eder, at ikke eders Hjerte daares, saa I falder fra og dyrker andre Guder og tilbeder dem;
Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be 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.
and the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth 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 for 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 your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thine 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 thine 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.
that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, upon the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above 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 shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, 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 possess 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 shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall be your border.
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 before you: the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath spoken unto you.
26 Se, jeg forelægger eder i Dag Velsignelse og Forbandelse,
Behold, I set 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 shall 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 shall not hearken unto the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
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 bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt set the blessing upon mount Gerizim, 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.
Are they not beyond Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites which dwell in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks 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 to pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.
32 skal I omhyggeligt handle efter alle de Anordninger og Lovbud, jeg i Dag forelægger eder!
And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and the judgments which I set before you this day.
