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,

It shall be, when you have come in to the land which Adonai your God gives you for an inheritance, 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 you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that Adonai your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Adonai your 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.«

You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess today to Adonai your God, that I have come to the land which Adonai 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.

The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before Adonai your God’s altar.

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.

You shall answer and say before Adonai your God, “My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt [Abode of slavery], and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.

6 Men Ægypterne mishandlede og plagede os og paalagde os haardt Trællearbejde;

The Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] mistreated us, afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us.

7 da raabte vi til HERREN, vore Fædres Gud, og HERREN hørte vor Røst og saa til vor Elendighed, Møje og Trængsel;

Then we cried to Adonai, the God of our fathers. Adonai sh'ma ·hear obey· our voice, and saw our affliction, 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;

Adonai brought us out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, 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

Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, Adonai, have given me.” You shall set it down before Adonai your God, and hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship before Adonai your 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.

You shall rejoice in all the good which Adonai your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite [Descendant of United with], and the foreigner who is among you.

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 you have finished tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite [Descendant of United with], to the foreigner, to the orphan, and to the widow, that they may eat within your 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.

You shall say before Adonai your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all your mitzvot ·instructions· which you have enjoined me. I have not transgressed any of your mitzvot ·instructions·, 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 vain striving of iniquity mourning, neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· Adonai my God’s voice. I have done according to all that you have enjoined 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 your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel [God prevails], and the ground which you have given us, as you 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!

Today Adonai your God enjoins to you to do these statutes and judgments. You shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart and with all your 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.

You have declared today that Adonai is your God, and that you would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his mitzvot ·instructions·, and his judgments, and sh'ma ·hear obey· 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,

Adonai has declared today that you are le'am segulah ·people of special treasure· for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his mitzvot ·instructions·.

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.

He will make you high above all nations that he has made, in tehilah ·praise song·, in name, and in honor; and that you may be a holy people to Adonai your God, as he has spoken.
