2 Mosebog 20
1 Gud talede alle disse Ord og sagde:
God spoke all these words, saying,
2 Jeg er HERREN din Gud, som førte dig ud af Ægypten, af Trællehuset.
“I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], out of the house of bondage.
3 Du maa ikke have andre Guder end mig.
“You shall have no other elohim ·deities, judges· 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 shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water 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 shall not hawa ·bow low, prostrate· yourself down to them, nor abad ·serve· them, for I, Yahweh [He sustains breathing] your God, am El Kana' [Jealous God], visiting the depravity (moral evil) of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,
6 men i tusind Led viser Miskundhed mod dem, der elsker mig og holder mine Bud!
and showing chesed ·loving-kindness· to thousands of those who 'ahav ·affectionately love· me and keep my mitzvot ·instructions·.
7 Du maa ikke misbruge HERREN din Guds Navn, thi HERREN lader ikke den ustraffet, der misbruger hans Navn!
“You shall not use את the name of Yahweh your God worthlessly, for Adonai will not hold him guiltless את who takes את his name in vain.
8 Kom Hviledagen i Hu, saa du holder den hellig!
“Remember the Shabath ·Intermission· day, to keep it holy.
9 I seks Dage skal du arbejde og gøre al din Gerning,
You shall labor six days, and do 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.
but the seventh day is a Shabath ·Intermission· to Adonai your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger 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 Adonai made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Adonai blessed the Shabath ·Intermission· day, and made it holy.
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 may be long in the land which Adonai your God gives you.
13 Du maa ikke slaa ihjel!
“You shall not murder.
14 Du maa ikke bedrive Hor!
“You shall not commit adultery.
15 Du maa ikke stjæle!
“You shall not steal.
16 Du maa ikke sige falsk Vidnesbyrd imod din Næste!
“You shall not give false witness 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 shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that 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;
All the people perceived the thunder, the lightnings, the sound of the shofar ·ram horn·, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.
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!«
They said to Moses [Drawn out], “Speak with us yourself, and we will sh'ma ·hear obey·; but don’t 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.«
Moses [Drawn out] said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin ·err (the standard goal)·.”
21 Da holdt Folket sig i Frastand medens Moses nærmede sig Mulmet, hvori Gud var.
The people stayed at a distance, and Moses [Drawn out] came near to the thick darkness where God was.
22 HERREN sagde da til Moses: Saaledes skal du sige til Israeliterne: I har selv set, at jeg har talet med eder fra Himmelen!
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “This is what you shall tell the children of Israel [God prevails]: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 I maa ikke gøre eder Guder ved Siden af mig; Guder af Sølv eller Guld maa I ikke gøre eder!
You shall most certainly not make alongside of me deities of silver, or deities of gold 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 shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless 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.
If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
26 Du maa ikke stige op til mit Alter ad Trin, for at ikke din Blusel skal blottes over det.
You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’
