5 Mosebog 16

1 Tag Vare paa Abib Maaned og hold Paaske for HERREN din Gud; thi i Abib Maaned førte HERREN din Gud dig ved Nattetide ud af Ægypten.

You are to observe the month of Abib and to celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God, because it was in the month of Abib that the Lord your God led you out of Egypt by night.

2 Og som Paaskeoffer til HERREN din Gud skal du slagte Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg paa det Sted, HERREN din Gud udvælger til Bolig for sit Navn.

The Passover sacrifice from your herd or flock must be offered to the Lord your God in the place where the Lord will choose to live with you.

3 Du maa ikke spise syret Brød dertil. I syv Dage skal du spise usyret Brød dertil, Trængselsbrød — thi i største Hast drog du ud af Ægypten — for at du kan ihukomme den Dag, du drog ud af Ægypten, saa længe du lever.

Don't eat ordinary bread with it. For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast with it, the bread of hardship, because you had to leave Egypt in such a hurry. This way you'll remember day you left Egypt for the rest of your lives.

4 Hele syv Dage maa der ikke findes Surdejg nogetsteds inden for dine Landemærker. Af Kødet, som du slagter om Aftenen den første Dag maa intet ligge Natten over til næste Morgen.

Don't have yeast anywhere in your country for seven days. Don't keep any of the meat that you sacrifice on the evening of the first day until the morning.

5 Du har ingensteds Lov at slagte Paaskeofferet inden dine Porte, som HERREN din Gud giver dig;

Don't sacrifice the Passover animal in any of the towns that the Lord your God is giving you.

6 men paa det Sted, HERREN din Gud udvælger til Bolig for sit Navn, der skal du slagte Paaskeofferet om Aftenen ved Solnedgang, paa det Tidspunkt du drog ud af Ægypten.

The Passover sacrifice must be offered by you only at the place where the Lord your God will choose to live with you. You are to do this in the evening at sunset-the same time you left Egypt.

7 Og du skal koge det og spise det paa det Sted, HERREN din Gud udvælger, og næste Morgen skal du vende hjemad og drage til dine Boliger.

Cook it and eat it in the place the Lord your God will choose. Then in the morning go back to your tents.

8 I seks Dage skal du spise usyrede Brød, og paa den syvende skal der være festlig Samling for HERREN din Gud, du maa intet Arbejde udføre.

Eat bread without yeast for six days, and the on the seventh day you are to have a holy meeting to honor the Lord your God. You are not to do any work.

9 Syv Uger skal du tælle frem; den Dag du sætter Seglen til Kornet, skal du begynde at tælle.

Count off seven weeks from when you start the grain harvest.

10 Saa skal du fejre Ugefesten for HERREN din Gud med saa mange frivillige Gaver, du vil give, efter som HERREN din Gud velsigner dig.

Then celebrate the Festival of Weeks to honor him the Lord your God by giving him a freewill offering, depending on just how much the Lord your God has blessed you.

11 Og du skal være glad for HERREN din Guds Aasyn paa det Sted, HERREN din Gud udvælger til Bolig for sit Navn, sammen med din Søn og Datter, din Træl og Trælkvinde, Leviten inden dine Porte, den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken, som bor hos dig.

You will celebrate in the Lord's presence in the place where he will choose to live with you. This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female slaves, and the Levites who live in your towns, as well as the foreigners, orphans, and widows among you.

12 Og du skal komme i Hu, at du var Træl i Ægypten, og omhyggeligt holde disse Anordninger.

Don't forget that you were once slaves in Egypt, and be careful to follow these regulations.

13 Løvhyttefesten skal du fejre i syv Dage, naar du har indsamlet Udbyttet fra din Tærskeplads og din Perse;

Celebrate the Festival of Shelters for seven days once you have finished threshing your grain and pressing your grapes.

14 og du skal være glad paa din Højtid sammen med din Søn og Datter, din Træl og Trælkvinde, Leviten, den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken inden dine Porte.

Enjoy your feast—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female slaves, and the Levites who live in your towns, as well as the foreigners, orphans, and widows among you.

15 Syv Dage skal du holde Højtid for HERREN din Gud, paa det Sted HERREN udvælger, thi HERREN din Gud vil velsigne dig i alt, hvad du avler, og alt, hvad du arbejder med; derfor skal du kun være glad.

Celebrate this Festival for seven days to honor the Lord your God in the place he will choose, because the Lord your God will bless your whole harvest and everything you do, so you will be really happy.

16 Tre Gange om Aaret skal alle af Mandkøn hos dig stedes for HERREN din Guds Aasyn, paa det Sted han udvælger, paa de usyrede Brøds Fest, Ugefesten og Løvhyttefesten; og man maa ikke stedes for HERRENS Aasyn med tomme Hænder;

All your men must come before the Lord your God in the place He will choose three times every year: the Festival of Bread without Yeast, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters. No one should come before the Lord without an offering.

17 men enhver skal komme med, hvad han kan give efter den Velsignelse, HERREN din Gud giver dig.

Each of you is to bring whatever gift you can, depending on how much the Lord your God has blessed you.

18 Dommere og Tilsynsmænd skal du indsætte dig overalt inden dine Porte, som HERREN din Gud vil give dig, rundt om i dine Stammer, og de skal dømme Folket paa retfærdig Vis.

Choose judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town that the Lord your God is giving you. They must judge the people fairly.

19 Du maa ikke bøje Retten, ikke vise Personsanseelse og ikke tage imod Bestikkelse; thi Bestikkelse gør Vismænd blinde og forplumrer de retfærdiges Sag.

Don't pervert justice or show favoritism. Don't take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the wise and twists the words of the truthful.

20 Ret, kun Ret skal du stræbe efter, for at du kan leve og beholde det Land, som HERREN din Gud vil give dig.

Always do what is right and just, so that you may go on living, occupying the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

21 Du maa ikke plante dig nogen Asjerastøtte, noget som helst Træ ved Siden af det Alter, du rejser for HERREN din Gud.

Don't ever set up a wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you build for the Lord your God,

22 Heller ikke maa du rejse dig nogen Stenstøtte; dem hader HERREN din Gud.

and don't make for yourselves an idolatrous stone pillar, which the Lord your God hates.
