5 Mosebog 11
1 Saa elsk da HERREN din Gud og hold hans Forskrifter, hans Anordninger, Lovbud og Bud alle Dage:
'And thou hast loved Jehovah thy God, and kept His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commands, 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 have known to-day — for it is not your sons who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, His greatness, His strong 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 doings, which He hath done in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to 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 that which He hath done to the force of Egypt, to its horses, and to its chariot, when He hath caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow against their faces in their pursuing after them, and Jehovah destroyeth them, unto this day;
5 og hvad han gjorde for eder i Ørkenen, lige til I kom til Stedet her,
and that which He hath done to you in the wilderness, till your coming in 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 that which He hath done to Dathan, and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, sons of Reuben, when the earth hath opened her mouth and swalloweth them, and their houses, and their tents, and all that liveth, which is at their feet, in the midst of all Israel:
7 Thi med egne Øjne har I set al den Stordaad, HERREN har øvet!
' — But [it is] your eyes which are seeing all the great work of Jehovah, 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,
and ye have kept all the command which I am commanding thee to-day, so that ye are strong, and have gone in, and possessed the land whither ye are passing 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 so that ye prolong days on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to 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 art going in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt whence ye have come out, where thou sowest thy seed, and hast watered with thy foot, as a garden of the green herb;
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 are passing over to possess it, [is] a land of hills and valleys; of the rain of the heavens it drinketh 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 Jehovah thy God is searching; continually [are] the eyes of Jehovah thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the latter 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 hath been — if thou hearken diligently unto My commands which I am commanding you to-day, to love Jehovah 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 have given the rain of your land in its season — sprinkling and gathered — and thou hast gathered thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil,
15 og jeg vil give Græs paa din Mark til dit Kvæg; og du skal spise dig mæt.
and I have given herbs in thy field for thy cattle, and thou hast eaten, and been 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, lest your heart be enticed, and ye have turned aside, and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to 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 Jehovah hath burned against you, and He hath restrained the heavens, and there is no rain, and the ground doth not give her increase, and ye have perished hastily from off the good land which Jehovah is giving to 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,
'And ye have placed these my words on your heart, and on your soul, and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been 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 have taught them to your sons, by speaking of them in thy sitting in thy house, and in thy going in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
20 Og du skal skrive dem paa Dørstolperne af dit Hus og paa dine Porte,
and hast written them on the side-posts of thy house, and on 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.
so that your days are multiplied, and the days of your sons, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them, as the days of the heavens on 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 diligently keep all this command which I am commanding you — to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave to 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 hath Jehovah dispossessed all these nations from before you, and ye have possessed nations, greater and mightier than you;
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 on which the sole of your foot treadeth is yours; from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Phrat, even unto the farther sea is 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.
no man doth station himself in your presence; your dread and your fear doth Jehovah your God put on the face of all the land on which ye tread, as He hath spoken to you.
26 Se, jeg forelægger eder i Dag Velsignelse og Forbandelse,
'See, I am setting before you to-day a blessing and a reviling:
27 Velsignelsen, hvis I lyder HERREN eders Guds Bud, som jeg i Dag paalægger eder,
the blessing, when ye hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you to-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 reviling, if ye do not hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, and have turned aside out of the way which I am commanding you to-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 hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it, that thou hast given the blessing on mount Gerizim, and the reviling on 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 the Jordan, behind the way of the going in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite, who is dwelling in the plain over-against Gilgal, near 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 passing over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you; and ye have possessed it, and dwelt in it,
32 skal I omhyggeligt handle efter alle de Anordninger og Lovbud, jeg i Dag forelægger eder!
and observed to do all the statutes and the judgments which I am setting before you to day.
