5 Mosebog 30

1 Men naar alt dette kommer over dig, baade Velsignelsen og Forbandelsen, som jeg har forelagt dig, og du lægger dig det paa Sinde ude blandt alle de Folkeslag, HERREN din Gud forstøder dig hen iblandt,

“And it has been, when all these things come on you, the blessing and the reviling, which I have set before you, and you have brought [them] back to your heart among all the nations to where your God YHWH has driven you away,

2 og tillige med dine Børn af hele dit Hjerte og hele din Sjæl omvender dig til HERREN din Gud og adlyder hans Røst i alt, hvad jeg i Dag byder dig,

and have turned back to your God YHWH and listened to His voice, according to all that I am commanding you today, you and your sons, with all your heart and with all your soul—

3 saa vil HERREN din Gud vende din Skæbne og forbarme sig over dig og samle dig fra alle de Folk, HERREN din Gud spreder dig iblandt.

then your God YHWH has turned back [to] your captivity and pitied you, indeed, He has turned back and gathered you out of all the peoples to where your God YHWH has scattered you.

4 Om saa dine forstødte befinder sig ved Himmelens Ende, vil HERREN din Gud samle dig sammen og hente dig derfra.

If your outcast is in the extremity of the heavens, your God YHWH gathers you from there and He takes you from there;

5 Og HERREN din Gud vil føre dig ind i det Land, dine Fædre havde i Eje, og du skal faa det i Eje, og han vil gøre dig endnu lykkeligere og talrigere end dine Fædre.

and your God YHWH has brought you into the land which your fathers have possessed, and you have inherited it, and He has done you good, and multiplied you above your fathers.

6 Og HERREN din Gud vil omskære dit Hjerte og dit Afkoms Hjerte, saa du elsker HERREN din Gud af hele dit Hjerte og hele din Sjæl, for at du maa leve.

And your God YHWH has circumcised your heart and the heart of your seed, to love your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul, for the sake of your life;

7 Og HERREN din Gud vil bringe alle dine Forbandelser over dine Fjender og Avindsmænd, der har forfulgt dig.

and your God YHWH has put all this oath on your enemies and on those hating you, who have pursued you.

8 Da skal du omvende dig og adlyde HERREN din Guds Røst og handle efter alle hans Bud, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig.

And you turn back, and have listened to the voice of YHWH, and have done all His commands which I am commanding you today;

9 Og HERREN din Gud vil give dig Overflod i alt, hvad du tager dig for, Overflod af dit Livs, dit Kvægs og din Jords Frugt; thi HERREN skal atter komme til at glæde sig over dig til dit Bedste, som han glædede sig over dine Fædre,

and your God YHWH has made you abundant in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, for good; for YHWH turns back to rejoice over you for good, as He rejoiced over your fathers,

10 fordi du adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst og holder hans Bud og Anordninger, der er optegnet i denne Lovbog, fordi du af hele dit Hjerte og hele din Sjæl omvender dig til HERREN din Gud.

for you listen to the voice of your God YHWH, to keep His commands and His statutes which are written in the scroll of this law, for you turn back to your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul.

11 Thi Budet, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig, er dig ikke ufatteligt og er heller ikke langt borte.

For this command which I am commanding you today, it is not too wonderful for you, nor [is] it far off.

12 Det er ikke i Himmelen, saa du maatte sige: »Hvem skal stige op til Himmelen for os og hente det ned til os og kundgøre os det, saa vi kan handle derefter?«

It is not in the heavens, saying, Who goes up into the heavens for us, and takes it for us, and causes us to hear it, that we may do it?

13 Ikke heller er det hinsides Havet, saa du maatte sige: »Hvem skal drage over Havet for os og hente det til os og kundgøre os det, saa vi kan handle derefter?«

And it [is] not beyond the sea, saying, Who passes over beyond the sea for us, and takes it for us, and causes us to hear it, that we may do it?

14 Nej, Ordet er dig ganske nær, i din Mund og i dit Hjerte, saa du kan handle derefter.

For the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart—to do it.

15 Se, jeg forelægger dig i Dag Livet og Lykken, Døden og Ulykken!

See, today I have set before you life and good, and death and evil,

16 Hvis du lyder HERREN din Guds Bud, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig, saa at du elsker HERREN din Gud og vandrer paa hans Veje og holder hans Bud, Anordninger og Lovbud, saa skal du leve og blive mangfoldig, og HERREN din Gud vil velsigne dig i det Land, du skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.

in that today I am commanding you to love your God YHWH, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments; and you have lived and multiplied, and your God YHWH has blessed you in the land to where you are going in to possess it.

17 Men hvis dit Hjerte vender sig bort, og du ikke er lydig, men lader dig forføre til at tilbede fremmede Guder og dyrke dem,

And if your heart turns, and you do not listen, and have been drawn away, and have bowed yourself to other gods and served them,

18 saa kundgør jeg eder i Dag, at I visselig skal gaa til Grunde; I skal ikke komme til at leve længe i det Land, du skal ind og tage i Besiddelse efter at være gaaet over Jordan.

I have declared to you this day that you certainly perish, you do not prolong days on the ground which you are passing over the Jordan to go in there to possess it.

19 Jeg tager i Dag Himmelen og Jorden til Vidne mod eder paa, at jeg har forelagt eder Livet og Døden, Velsignelsen og Forbandelsen. Saa vælg da Livet, for at du og dit Afkom maa leve,

I have caused the heavens and the earth to testify against you today—I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the reviling, and you have fixed on life, so that you live, you and your seed,

20 idet du elsker HERREN din Gud og adlyder hans Røst og hænger ved ham; thi deraf afhænger dit Liv og Tallet paa de Dage, du kommer til at bo i det Land, HERREN svor at ville give dine Fædre, Abraham, Isak og Jakob.

to love your God YHWH, to listen to His voice, and to cleave to Him (for He [is] your life and the length of your days), to dwell on the ground which YHWH has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.”
