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,
And these [are] the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment to teach you to do so in the land on which you enter to inherit 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 may fear the Lord your God, keep you all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command you today, you, and your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your life, that you may live many days.
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 them, that it may be well with you, and that you may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of your fathers said that he would give you a land flowing with milk and honey: and these [are] the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt.
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 your mind, and with all your soul, and all your strength.
6 Disse Bud, som jeg paalægger dig i Dag, skal du tage dig til Hjerte;
And these words, all that I command you this day, shall be in your heart and in your soul.
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 to your children, and you shall speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.
8 du skal binde dem som et Tegn om din Haand, de skal være som et Erindringsmærke paa din Pande,
And you shall fasten them for a sign upon your hand, and it shall be immoveable before your eyes.
9 og du skal skrive dem paa Dørstolperne af dit Hus og paa dine Porte.
And you shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of 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 come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land which he sware to your fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and beautiful cities which you did not build,
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,
houses full of all good things which you did not fill, wells dug in the rock which you did not dig, vineyards and olive yards which you did not plant, then having eaten and been filled,
12 vogt dig da for at glemme HERREN, som førte dig ud af Ægypten, af Trællehuset;
beware lest you forget the Lord your God that brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of 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 him only shall you serve; and you shall cleave to him, and by his name you shall swear.
14 I maa ikke holde eder til andre Guder, til nogen af de omboende Folks Guder,
Go you not after other gods of the gods of the nations 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 in the midst of you [is] a jealous God, lest the Lord your God be very angry with you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.
16 I maa ikke friste HERREN eders Gud, som I gjorde ved Massa.
You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in the temptation.
17 I skal omhyggeligt holde HERREN eders Guds Bud, Vidnesbyrd og Anordninger, som han har paalagt dig;
You shall by all means keep the commands of the Lord your God, the testimonies, and the ordinances, which he 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 pleasing and good before the Lord your God, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and inherit the good land, which the Lord sware to your fathers,
19 idet han jager alle dine Fjender bort foran dig, som HERREN har sagt!
to chase all your enemies from before your face, as the Lord said.
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 it shall come to pass when your son shall ask you at a future time, saying, What are the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord our God has commanded us?
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 shall you say to your son, We were slaves to Pharao in the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought us forth thence with a mighty hand, and with a high arm.
22 Og HERREN udførte Tegn og store, ødelæggende Undere paa Ægypten, paa Farao og hele hans Hus, lige for vore Øjne;
And the Lord wrought signs and great and grievous wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and on his house before us.
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 thence to give us this land, which he sware to give to 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 charged us to observe all these ordinances; to fear the Lord our God, that it may be well with us for ever, that we may live, as even today.
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 there shall be mercy to us, if we take heed to keep all these commands before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.
