5 Mosebog 5
1 Moses kaldte hele Israel sammen og sagde til dem: Hør, Israel, de Anordninger og Lovbud, som jeg kundgør eder i Dag! Lær dem og hold dem omhyggeligt.
And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and observe to do them.
2 HERREN vor Gud sluttede en Pagt med os ved Horeb.
Jehovah our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 Det var ikke med vore Fædre, HERREN sluttede den Pagt, men med os, vi, der i Dag er her til Stede, alle vi, der er i Live.
Jehovah did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
4 Ansigt til Ansigt talede HERREN med eder paa Bjerget ud fra Ilden.
Jehovah spoke with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire
5 Jeg stod dengang som Mellemmand mellem HERREN og eder og kundgjorde eder HERRENS Ord; thi I var bange for Ilden og turde ikke stige op paa Bjerget.
(I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, to show you the word of Jehovah, for ye were afraid because of the fire, and did not go up onto the mount), saying,
6 Han sagde: Jeg er HERREN din Gud, som førte dig ud af Ægypten, af Trællehuset.
I am Jehovah thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7 Du maa ikke have andre Guder end mig.
Thou shall have no other gods before me.
8 Du maa ikke gøre dig noget udskaaret Billede eller noget Afbillede af det, som er oppe i Himmelen eller nede paa Jorden eller i Vandet under Jorden;
Thou shall not make to thee a graven image: any likeness that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
9 du maa ikke tilbede eller dyrke det, thi jeg HERREN din Gud er en nidkær Gud, der indtil tredje og fjerde Led straffer Fædres Brøde paa Børn af dem, som hader mig,
Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them, for I, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me,
10 men i tusind Led viser Miskundhed mod dem, der elsker mig og holder mine Bud!
and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
11 Du maa ikke misbruge HERREN din Guds Navn, thi HERREN lader ikke den ustraffet, der misbruger hans Navn!
Thou shall not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain, for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
12 Tag Vare paa Hviledagen, saa du holder den hellig, saaledes som HERREN din Gud har paalagt dig!
Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Jehovah thy God commanded thee.
13 I seks Dage skal du arbejde og gøre al din Gerning,
Six days thou shall labor, and do all thy work,
14 men den syvende Dag skal være Hviledag for HERREN din Gud; da maa du intet Arbejde udføre, hverken du selv, din Søn eller Datter, din Træl eller Trælkvinde, din Okse eller dit Æsel eller noget af dit Kvæg eller den fremmede inden dine Porte, for at din Træl og Trælkvinde kan hvile ud ligesom du selv.
but the seventh day is a sabbath to Jehovah thy God: thou shall not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor thy donkey, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates, that thy man-servant and thy maid-servant may rest as well as thou.
15 Kom i Hu, at du selv var Træl i Ægypten, og at HERREN din Gud førte dig ud derfra med stærk Haand og udstrakt Arm; det er derfor, HERREN din Gud har paalagt dig at fejre Hviledagen!
And thou shall remember that thou were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God brought thee out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm, therefore Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
16 Ær din Fader og din Moder, saaledes som HERREN din Gud har paalagt dig, for at du kan faa et langt Liv, og det maa gaa dig vel i det Land, HERREN din Gud vil give dig.
Honor thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy God commanded thee, that thy days may be long, and that it may go well with thee in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee.
17 Du maa ikke slaa ihjel!
Thou shall not murder.
18 Du maa ikke bedrive Hor!
Neither shall thou commit adultery.
19 Du maa ikke stjæle!
Neither shall thou steal.
20 Du maa ikke sige falsk Vidnesbyrd imod din Næste!
Neither shall thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.
21 Du maa ikke begære din Næstes Hustru. Du maa ikke attraa din Næstes Hus, hans Mark, hans Træl eller Trælkvinde, hans Okse eller Æsel eller noget, der hører din Næste til!
Neither shall thou covet thy neighbor's wife. Neither shall thou desire thy neighbor's house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is thy neighbor's.
22 Disse Ord talede HERREN til hele eders Forsamling paa Bjerget ud fra Ilden, Skyen og Mulmet med vældig Røst uden at føje noget til; og han skrev dem op paa to Stentavler og gav mig dem.
These words Jehovah spoke to all your assembly on the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice, and he added no more. And he wrote them upon two tablets of stone, and gave them to me.
23 Men da I hørte Røsten, der lød ud fra Mørket, medens Bjerget stod i lys Lue, kom I, alle Overhovederne for eders Stammer og eders Ældste, hen til mig
And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that ye came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders.
24 og sagde: »Se, HERREN vor Gud har ladet os skue sin Herlighed og Storhed, og hans Røst har vi hørt ud fra Ilden; i Dag har vi oplevet, at Gud kan tale med Mennesker, uden at de dør.
And ye said, Behold, Jehovah our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man, and he lives.
25 Men hvorfor skal vi dø? Thi denne vældige Ild vil fortære os; hvis vi skal blive ved at høre paa HERREN vor Guds Røst, maa vi dø!
Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more, then we shall die.
26 Thi hvilken dødelig har nogen Sinde som vi hørt den levende Guds Røst ud fra Ilden og levet?
For who is there of all flesh, who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27 Træd du hen og hør alt, hvad HERREN vor Gud siger; siden skal du saa sige os alt, hvad HERREN vor Gud taler til dig, og vi skal høre det og gøre derefter.«
Go thou near, and hear all that Jehovah our God shall say. And speak thou to us all that Jehovah our God shall speak to thee, and we will hear it, and do it.
28 Og da HERREN hørte, hvorledes I talte til mig, sagde han til mig: »Jeg har hørt, hvad dette Folk siger til dig, og alt, hvad de har sagt til dig, er ret;
And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke to me. And Jehovah said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to thee. They have well said all that they have spoken.
29 gid de alle Dage maa have et saadant Hjerte, at de frygter mig og holder alle mine Bud, for at det maa gaa dem og deres Børn vel evindelig.
Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their sons forever!
30 Gaa derfor hen og byd dem at vende tilbage til deres Telte;
Go say to them, Return ye to your tents.
31 men bliv du staaende her hos mig, saa skal jeg kundgøre dig alle Budene, Anordningerne og Lovbudene, som du skal lære dem, og som de skal holde i det Land, jeg vil give dem i Eje!«
But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak to thee all the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which thou shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
32 Gør derfor omhyggeligt saaledes, som HERREN eders Gud har paalagt eder, uden at vige til højre eller venstre;
Ye shall observe to do therefore as Jehovah your God has commanded you. Ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
33 følg altid den Vej, som HERREN eders Gud har paalagt eder at gaa, at I kan blive i Live og faa det godt og leve længe i det Land, I skal tage i Besiddelse!
Ye shall walk in all the way which Jehovah your God has commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
