5 Mosebog 6

1 Dette er Budet, Anordningerne og Lovbudene, som HERREN eders Gud har paabudt at lære eder at handle efter i det Land, I skal over og tage i Besiddelse,

Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that all of you might do them in the land where all of you go to possess it:

2 for at du alle dine Levedage maa frygte HERREN din Gud og holde alle hans Anordninger og Bud, som jeg giver dig, du selv, din Søn og din Sønnesøn, og faa et langt Liv.

That you might fear the LORD your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

3 Hør derfor, Israel, og gør omhyggeligt efter dem, for at det kan gaa dig vel, og for at I maa blive overvættes talrige, saaledes som HERREN, dine Fædres Gud, har forjættet dig, i et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning.

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that all of you may increase mightily, as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you, in the land that flows with milk and honey.

4 Hør, Israel! HERREN vor Gud, HERREN er een.

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

5 Og du skal elske HERREN din Gud af hele dit Hjerte, af hele din Sjæl og af hele din Styrke.

And you shall love the LORD your God with all of your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

6 Disse Bud, som jeg paalægger dig i Dag, skal du tage dig til Hjerte;

And these words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart:

7 og du skal indprente dine Børn dem og tale om dem, baade naar du sidder i dit Hus, og naar du vandrer paa Vejen, baade naar du lægger dig, og naar du staar op;

And you shall teach them diligently unto your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

8 du skal binde dem som et Tegn om din Haand, de skal være som et Erindringsmærke paa din Pande,

And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

9 og du skal skrive dem paa Dørstolperne af dit Hus og paa dine Porte.

And you shall write them upon the posts of your house, and on your gates.

10 Og naar HERREN din Gud fører dig ind i det Land, han tilsvor dine Fædre Abraham, Isak og Jakob at ville give dig, store og smukke Byer, som du ikke har bygget,

And it shall be, when the LORD your God shall have brought you into the land which he swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and goodly cities, which you builded not,

11 Huse, der er fulde af alt godt, som du ikke har samlet, udhuggede Cisterner, som du ikke har udhugget, Vingaarde og Olivenhaver, som du ikke har plantet, og du spiser dig mæt,

And houses full of all good things, which you filled not, and wells dug, which you dug not, vineyards and olive trees, which you planted not; when you shall have eaten and be full;

12 vogt dig da for at glemme HERREN, som førte dig ud af Ægypten, af Trællehuset;

Then beware lest you forget the LORD, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

13 HERREN din Gud skal du frygte, ham skal du dyrke, og ved hans Navn skal du sværge!

You shall fear the LORD your God, and serve him, and shall swear by his name.

14 I maa ikke holde eder til andre Guder, til nogen af de omboende Folks Guder,

All of you shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;

15 thi HERREN din Gud er en nidkær Gud i din Midte; ellers vil HERREN din Guds Vrede blusse op imod dig, saa han udrydder dig af Jorden.

(For the LORD your God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

16 I maa ikke friste HERREN eders Gud, som I gjorde ved Massa.

All of you shall not tempt the LORD your God, as all of you tempted him in Massah.

17 I skal omhyggeligt holde HERREN eders Guds Bud, Vidnesbyrd og Anordninger, som han har paalagt dig;

All of you shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.

18 og du skal gøre, hvad der er ret og godt i HERRENS Øjne, for at det maa gaa dig vel, og du maa komme ind og faa det herlige Land i Eje, som HERREN tilsvor dine Fædre,

And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore unto your fathers.

19 idet han jager alle dine Fjender bort foran dig, som HERREN har sagt!

To cast out all of your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken.

20 Naar din Søn i Fremtiden spørger dig: »Hvorledes har det sig med de Vidnesbyrd, Anordninger og Lovbud, som HERREN vor Gud gav eder?«

And when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God has commanded you?

21 saa skal du svare din Søn saaledes: »Vi var engang Faraos Trælle i Ægypten; men HERREN førte os ud af Ægypten med stærk Haand.

Then you shall say unto your son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:

22 Og HERREN udførte Tegn og store, ødelæggende Undere paa Ægypten, paa Farao og hele hans Hus, lige for vore Øjne;

And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:

23 men os førte han ud derfra for at føre os ind og give os det Land, han havde tilsvoret vore Fædre.

And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore unto our fathers.

24 Dengang paalagde HERREN os at handle efter alle disse Anordninger, idet vi frygter HERREN vor Gud, for at det altid maa gaa os vel, for at han kan lade os blive i Live, som det hidtil er sket.

And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

25 Og vi skal staa som retfærdige for HERREN vor Guds Ansigt, naar vi handler efter alle disse Anordninger, saaledes som han har paalagt os!«

And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.
