2 Mosebog 20
1 Gud talede alle disse Ord og sagde:
And God speaks all these words, saying,
2 Jeg er HERREN din Gud, som førte dig ud af Ægypten, af Trællehuset.
“I [am] your God YHWH, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.
3 Du maa ikke have andre Guder end mig.
You have no other Gods before Me.
4 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 do not make a carved image for yourself, or any likeness which [is] in the heavens above, or which [is] in the earth beneath, or which [is] in the waters under the earth.
5 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 do not bow yourself to them, nor serve them: for I, your God YHWH, [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third and on a fourth [generation] of those hating Me,
6 men i tusind Led viser Miskundhed mod dem, der elsker mig og holder mine Bud!
and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.
7 Du maa ikke misbruge HERREN din Guds Navn, thi HERREN lader ikke den ustraffet, der misbruger hans Navn!
You do not take up the Name of your God YHWH for a vain thing, for YHWH does not acquit him who takes up His Name for a vain thing.
8 Kom Hviledagen i Hu, saa du holder den hellig!
Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it;
9 I seks Dage skal du arbejde og gøre al din Gerning,
six days you labor and have done all your work,
10 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, dit Kvæg eller den fremmede inden dine Porte.
and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to your God YHWH; you do not do any work, you, and your son, and your daughter, your manservant, and your handmaid, and your livestock, and your sojourner who is within your gates—
11 Thi i seks Dage gjorde HERREN Himmelen, Jorden og Havet med alt, hvad der er i dem, og paa den syvende Dag hvilede han; derfor har HERREN velsignet Hviledagen og helliget den.
for [in] six days YHWH has made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and rests in the seventh day; therefore YHWH has blessed the Sabbath day and sanctifies it.
12 Ær din Fader og din Moder, for at du kan faa et langt Liv i det Land, HERREN din Gud vil give dig!
Honor your father and your mother, so that your days are prolonged on the ground which your God YHWH is giving to you.
13 Du maa ikke slaa ihjel!
You do not murder.
14 Du maa ikke bedrive Hor!
You do not commit adultery.
15 Du maa ikke stjæle!
You do not steal.
16 Du maa ikke sige falsk Vidnesbyrd imod din Næste!
You do not answer [with] a false testimony against your neighbor.
17 Du maa ikke begære din Næstes Hus! Du maa ikke begære din Næstes Hustru, hans Træl eller Trælkvinde, hans Okse eller Æsel eller noget, der hører din Næste til!
You do not desire the house of your neighbor, you do not desire the wife of your neighbor, or his manservant, or his handmaid, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything which [is] your neighbor’s.”
18 Men da hele Folket fornam Tordenen, Lynene og Stødene i Hornene og saa det rygende Bjerg forfærdedes Folket og holdt sig skælvende i Frastand;
And all the people are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking; and the people see, and move, and stand far off,
19 og de sagde til Moses: »Tal du med os, saa vil vi lytte til; men lad ikke Gud tale med os, at vi ikke skal dø!«
and say to Moses, “Speak with us, and we hear, and do not let God speak with us, lest we die.”
20 Men Moses svarede Folket: »Frygt ikke, thi Gud er kommet for at prøve eder, og for at I kan lære at frygte for ham, saa I ikke synder.«
And Moses says to the people, “Do not fear, for God has come to try you, and in order that His fear may be before your faces—that you do not sin.”
21 Da holdt Folket sig i Frastand medens Moses nærmede sig Mulmet, hvori Gud var.
And the people stand far off, and Moses has drawn near to the thick darkness where God [is].
22 HERREN sagde da til Moses: Saaledes skal du sige til Israeliterne: I har selv set, at jeg har talet med eder fra Himmelen!
And YHWH says to Moses, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken with you from the heavens;
23 I maa ikke gøre eder Guder ved Siden af mig; Guder af Sølv eller Guld maa I ikke gøre eder!
you do not make gods of silver and gods of gold [to be] with Me—you do not make [any idol] for yourselves.
24 Du skal bygge mig et Alter af Jord, og paa det skal du ofre dine Brændofre og Takofre, dit Smaakvæg og dit Hornkvæg; paa ethvert Sted, hvor jeg lader mit Navn ihukomme, vil jeg komme til dig og velsigne dig.
You make an altar of earth for Me, and you have sacrificed on it your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings, your flock and your herd; in every place where I cause My Name to be remembered I come to you, and have blessed you.
25 Men hvis du opfører mig Altre af Sten, maa du ikke bygge dem af tilhugne Sten, thi naar du svinger dit Værktøj derover, vanhelliger du dem.
And if you make an altar of stones for Me, you do not build them of hewn work; when you have waved your tool over it, then you defile it;
26 Du maa ikke stige op til mit Alter ad Trin, for at ikke din Blusel skal blottes over det.
neither do you go up by steps on My altar, that your nakedness is not revealed on it.
