5 Mosebog 26
1 Naar du kommer ind i det Land, HERREN din Gud giver dig til Arv, og tager det i Besiddelse og bosætter dig deri,
And it shall be, when thou have come in to the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell in it,
2 skal du tage en Del af Førstegrøden af alle de Jordens Frugter, som du høster af det Land, HERREN din Gud giver dig, og lægge dem i en Kurv og begive dig til det Sted, HERREN din Gud udvælger til Bolig for sit Navn.
that thou shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shall bring in from thy land that Jehovah thy God gives thee, and thou shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
3 Naar du saa kommer til den Præst, som er der paa den Tid, skal du sige til ham: »Jeg vidner i Dag for HERREN din Gud, at jeg er kommet ind i det Land, HERREN tilsvor vore Fædre at ville give os.«
And thou shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and say to him, I profess this day to Jehovah thy God, that I have come to the land which Jehovah swore to our fathers to give us.
4 Saa skal Præsten tage Kurven af din Haand og sætte den hen foran HERREN din Guds Alter.
And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of Jehovah thy God.
5 Derpaa skal du tage til Orde og sige for HERREN din Guds Aasyn: »En omvankende Aramæer var min Stamfader; han drog ned til Ægypten og boede der som fremmed med nogle faa Mænd, men der blev han til et stort, mægtigt og talrigt Folk.
And thou shall answer and say before Jehovah thy God, My father was a Syrian ready to perish, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number. And he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.
6 Men Ægypterne mishandlede og plagede os og paalagde os haardt Trællearbejde;
And the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage.
7 da raabte vi til HERREN, vore Fædres Gud, og HERREN hørte vor Røst og saa til vor Elendighed, Møje og Trængsel;
And we cried to Jehovah, the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression.
8 og HERREN førte os ud af Ægypten med stærk Haand og udstrakt Arm, med store, forfærdelige Gerninger og med Tegn og Undere;
And Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders.
9 og han førte os til dette Sted og gav os dette Land, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning.
And he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Og her bringer jeg nu Førstegrøden af Frugterne af den Jord, du har givet mig, HERRE!« Derpaa skal du stille Kurven hen for HERREN din Guds Aasyn og tilbede for HERREN din Guds Aasyn
And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which thou, O Jehovah, have given me. And thou shall set it down before Jehovah thy God, and worship before Jehovah thy God.
11 og saa være glad over alt det gode, HERREN din Gud giver dig, sammen med din Husstand, Leviten og den fremmede, der bor i din Midte.
And thou shall rejoice in all the good which Jehovah thy God has given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the sojourner who is in the midst of thee.
12 Naar du det tredje Aar, Tiendeaaret, er færdig med at aflevere hele Tienden af din Afgrøde og har givet Leviten, den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken den, saa de kan spise sig mætte inden dine Porte,
When thou have made an end of tithing all the tithe of thine increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then thou shall give it to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled.
13 da skal du sige for HERREN din Guds Aasyn: »Jeg har leveret det hellige ud fra mit Hus, jeg har ogsaa givet Leviten, den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken det efter alt dit Bud, som du har givet os; jeg har ikke overtraadt noget af dine Bud og intet glemt.
And thou shall say before Jehovah thy God, I have put away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
14 Jeg har ikke spist deraf, medens jeg havde Sorg, jeg har ikke været uren, da jeg afleverede det, og jeg har ikke givet en død noget deraf, jeg har adlydt HERREN min Guds Røst, jeg har handlet nøje efter dit Bud.
I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I put away from it, being unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God. I have done according to all that thou have commanded me.
15 Se derfor ned fra din hellige Bolig, fra Himmelen, og velsign dit Folk Israel og den Jord, du gav os, som du tilsvor vore Fædre, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning!«
Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the ground which thou have given us, as thou swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
16 I Dag byder HERREN din Gud dig at handle efter disse Anordninger og Lovbud; hold dem derfor omhyggeligt af hele dit Hjerte og hele din Sjæl!
This day Jehovah thy God commands thee to do these statutes and ordinances. Thou shall therefore keep and do them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
17 Du har i Dag ladet HERREN tilsige dig, at han vil være din Gud, og at han vil sætte dig højt over alle Folk, som han har skabt, til Pris og Berømmelse og Ære.
Thou have avouched Jehovah this day to be thy God, and that thou would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and hearken to his voice.
18 Og HERREN har i Dag ladet dig tilsige ham, at du vil være hans Ejendomsfolk, som han har sagt dig, og tage Vare paa alle hans Bud,
And Jehovah has avouched thee this day to be a people for his own possession, as he has promised thee, and that thou should keep all his commandments,
19 og at du vil gaa paa hans Veje og holde hans Anordninger, Bud og Lovbud og høre hans Røst, og at du vil være HERREN din Gud et helligt Folk, som han har sagt.
and to make thee high above all nations that he has made, in praise, and in name, and in honor, and that thou may be a holy people to Jehovah thy God, as he has spoken.
