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 this is the mitzvot ·instructions·, the statutes, and the judgments, which Adonai your God enjoined to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go over 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 Adonai your God, to keep all his statutes and his mitzvot ·instructions·, which I enjoin 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.

Sh'ma ·Hear understand obey· therefore, Israel [God prevails], and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as Adonai, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

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

Sh'ma ·Hear obey·, Israel [God prevails]: Yahweh is our God. Yahweh is echad ·one, one unity·.

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

You shall את 'ahav ·affectionately love· Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

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

These words, which I enjoin you today, shall be on 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 to 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,

You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

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

You shall write them on the door 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,

It shall be, when Adonai your God brings you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham [Father of a multitude], to Isaac [Laughter], and to Jacob [Supplanter], to give you, great and goodly cities, which you didn’t 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,

and houses full of all good things, which you didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out, which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you didn’t plant, and you shall eat and be full;

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

then beware lest you forget Adonai, who brought you out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], 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 Adonai your God; and you shall abad ·serve· him, and shall swear by his name.

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

You shall not go after other deities, of the deities of the peoples who are around 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 Adonai your God among you is El Kana' [Jealous God]; lest the anger of Adonai your God be kindled against you, and he 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 Adonai your God, as you tempted him in Massah [Testing].

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

You shall diligently keep the mitzvot ·instructions· of Adonai your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has enjoined 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,

You shall do that which is right and good in Adonai’s sight; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which Adonai swore to your fathers,

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

to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Adonai 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?«

Some day when your child asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the judgments, which Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] has enjoined you mean?”

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 tell your child, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt [Abode of slavery]. Adonai brought us out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] 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 Adonai showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt [Abode of slavery], on Pharaoh, and on all his house, 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 there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore 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.

Adonai enjoined us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God], for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as we are 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!«

It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this mitzvot ·instructions· before Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God], as he has enjoined us.”
