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.
Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, “Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears today, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.”
2 HERREN vor Gud sluttede en Pagt med os ved Horeb.
The LORD 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.
The LORD didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.
4 Ansigt til Ansigt talede HERREN med eder paa Bjerget ud fra Ilden.
The LORD spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the middle 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 the LORD and you at that time, to show you the LORD’s word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn’t go up onto the mountain) saying,
6 Han sagde: Jeg er HERREN din Gud, som førte dig ud af Ægypten, af Trællehuset.
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7 Du maa ikke have andre Guder end mig.
“You 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;
“You shall not make a carved image for yourself—any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is in 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,
You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and on 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!
“You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
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 the LORD your God commanded you.
13 I seks Dage skal du arbejde og gøre al din Gerning,
You shall labour six days, and do all your 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 the LORD your God, in which you shall not do any work—neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
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!
You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God commanded you 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.
“Honour your father and your mother, as the LORD your God commanded you, that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
17 Du maa ikke slaa ihjel!
“You shall not murder.
18 Du maa ikke bedrive Hor!
“You shall not commit adultery.
19 Du maa ikke stjæle!
“You shall not steal.
20 Du maa ikke sige falsk Vidnesbyrd imod din Næste!
“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour.
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!
“You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbour’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbour’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.
The LORD spoke these words to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice. He added no more. He wrote them on two stone tablets, 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
When you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you 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 you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire. We have seen today that God does speak 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 LORD our God’s voice 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 middle 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 near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say, and tell us all that the LORD our God tells you; 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;
The LORD heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, “I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. 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 children forever!
30 Gaa derfor hen og byd dem at vende tilbage til deres Telte;
“Go tell them, ‘Return 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 you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.”
32 Gør derfor omhyggeligt saaledes, som HERREN eders Gud har paalagt eder, uden at vige til højre eller venstre;
You shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you. You shall not turn away 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!
You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
