5 Mosebog 5
1 Moses kaldte hele Israel sammen og sagde til dem: Hør, Israel, de Anordninger og Lovbud, som jeg kundgør eder i Dag! Lær dem og hold dem omhyggeligt.
And Moses summoned all of Israel, and he said to them: “Listen, O Israel, to the ceremonies and judgments, which I am speaking to your ears on this day. Learn them, and fulfill them in deed.
2 HERREN vor Gud sluttede en Pagt med os ved Horeb.
The Lord our God formed a covenant with us at Horeb.
3 Det var ikke med vore Fædre, HERREN sluttede den Pagt, men med os, vi, der i Dag er her til Stede, alle vi, der er i Live.
He did not make the covenant with our fathers, but with us, who are alive and in the present time.
4 Ansigt til Ansigt talede HERREN med eder på Bjerget ud fra Ilden.
He spoke to us face to face on the mountain, from the midst of fire.
5 Jeg stod dengang som Mellemmand mellem HERREN og eder og kundgjorde eder HERRENs Ord; thi I var bange for Ilden og turde ikke stige op på Bjerget.
I was the mediator, for I was in the middle between the Lord and you, at that time, to announce his words to you. For you were afraid of the fire, and so you did not ascend to the mountain. And he said:
6 Han sagde: Jeg er HERREN din Gud, som førte dig ud af Ægypten, af Trællehuset.
‘I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude.
7 Du må ikke have andre Guder end mig.
You shall not have strange gods in my sight.
8 Du må ikke gøre dig noget udskåret Billede eller noget Afbillede af det, som er oppe i Himmelen eller nede på Jorden eller i Vandet under Jorden;
You shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor the likeness of anything, which is in heaven above, or on earth below, or which abides in the waters under the earth.
9 du må ikke tilbede eller dyrke det, thi jeg HERREN din Gud er en nidkær Gud, der indtil tredje og fjerde Led straffer Fædres Brøde på Børn af dem, som hader mig,
You shall not adore and you shall not worship these things. For I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, repaying the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation to those who hate me,
10 men i tusind Led viser Miskundhed mod dem, der elsker mig og holder mine Bud!
and acting with mercy in thousands of ways to those who love me and keep my precepts.
11 Du må ikke misbruge HERREN din Guds Navn, thi HERREN lader ikke den ustraffet, der misbruger hans Navn!
You shall not use the name of the Lord your God in vain. For he will not go unpunished who takes up his name over an unimportant matter.
12 Tag Vare på Hviledagen, så du holder den hellig, således som HERREN din Gud har pålagt dig!
Observe the day of the Sabbath, so that you may sanctify it, just as the Lord your God has instructed you.
13 I seks Dage skal du arbejde og gøre al din Gerning,
For six days, you shall labor and do all your work.
14 men den syvende Dag skal være Hviledag for HERREN din Gud; da må du intet Arbejde udføre, hverken du selv, din Søn eller Datter, din Træl eller Trælkvinde, din Okse eller dit Æsel eller noget af dit Kvæg eller den fremmede inden dine Porte, for at din Træl og Trælkvinde kan hvile ud ligesom du selv.
The seventh is the day of the Sabbath, that is, the rest of the Lord your God. You shall not do any work in it, nor shall your son, nor daughter, nor man servant, nor woman servant, nor ox, nor donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor the sojourner who is within your gates, so that your men and woman servants may rest, just as you do.
15 Kom i Hu, at du selv var Træl i Ægypten, og at HERREN din Gud førte dig ud derfra med stærk Hånd og udstrakt Arm; det er derfor, HERREN din Gud har pålagt dig at fejre Hviledagen!
Remember that you also were servants in Egypt, and the Lord your God led you away from that place with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. Because of this, he has instructed you so that you would observe the Sabbath day.
16 Ær din Fader og din Moder, således som HERREN din Gud har pålagt dig, for at du kan få et langt Liv, og det må gå dig vel i det Land, HERREN din Gud vil give dig.
Honor your father and mother, just as the Lord your God has instructed you, so that you may live a long time, and so that it may be well with you in the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
17 Du må ikke slå ihjel!
You shall not murder.
18 Du må ikke bedrive Hor!
And you shall not commit adultery.
19 Du må ikke stjæle!
And you shall not commit theft.
20 Du må ikke sige falsk Vidnesbyrd imod din Næste!
Neither shall you speak false testimony against your neighbor.
21 Du må ikke begære din Næstes Hustru. Du må ikke attrå din Næstes Hus, hans Mark, hans Træl eller Trælkvinde, hans Okse eller Æsel eller noget, der hører din Næste til!
You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his house, nor his field, nor his man servant, nor his woman servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything out of all that is his.’
22 Disse Ord talede HERREN til hele eders Forsamling på Bjerget ud fra Ilden, Skyen og Mulmet med vældig Røst uden at føje noget til; og han skrev dem op på to Stentavler og gav mig dem.
The Lord spoke these words to the entire multitude of you on the mountain, from the midst of the fire and the cloud and the darkness, with a loud voice, adding nothing more. And he wrote them on two tablets of stone, which he delivered to me.
23 Men da I hørte Røsten, der lød ud fra Mørket, medens Bjerget stod i lys Lue, kom I, alle Overhovederne for eders Stammer og eders Ældste, hen til mig
Then, after you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, and you saw the mountain burning, you approached me, all you leaders of the tribes and those greater by birth. And you said:
24 og sagde: "Se, HERREN vor Gud har ladet os skue sin Herlighed og Storhed, og hans Røst har vi hørt ud fra Ilden; i Dag har vi oplevet, at Gud kan tale med Mennesker, uden at de dør.
‘Behold, the Lord our God has revealed to us his majesty and his greatness. We have heard his voice from the midst of fire, and we have proven today that, though God is speaking with man, man has lived.
25 Men hvorfor skal vi dø? Thi denne vældige Ild vil fortære os; hvis vi skal blive ved at høre på HERREN vor Guds Røst, må vi dø!
Therefore, why should we die, and why should this very great fire devour us? For if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer, we will die.
26 Thi hvilken dødelig har nogen Sinde som vi hørt den levende Guds Røst ud fra Ilden og levet?
What is all flesh, that it would hear the voice of the living God, who speaks from the midst of fire, just as we have heard it, and be able to live?
27 Træd du hen og hør alt, hvad HERREN vor Gud siger; siden skal du så sige os alt, hvad HERREN vor Gud taler til dig, og vi skal høre det og gøre derefter."
Instead, you should approach and listen to all the things that the Lord our God will say to you. And you will speak to us, and we will listen and do these things.’
28 Og da HERREN hørte, hvorledes I talte til mig, sagde han til mig: "Jeg har hørt, hvad dette Folk siger til dig, og alt, hvad de har sagt til dig, er ret;
But when the Lord had heard this, he said to me: ‘I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they spoke to you. All this, they have spoken well.
29 gid de alle Dage må have et sådant Hjerte, at de frygter mig og holder alle mine Bud, for at det må gå dem og deres Børn vel evindelig.
Who will grant to them to have such a mind, so that they may fear me, and may keep all my commandments at all times, so that it may be well with them and with their sons forever?
30 Gå derfor hen og byd dem at vende tilbage til deres Telte;
Go and say to them: Return to your tents.
31 men bliv du stående her hos mig, så skal jeg kundgøre dig alle Budene, Anordningerne og Lovbudene, som du skal lære dem, og som de skal holde i det Land, jeg vil give dem i Eje!"
But as for you, stand here with me, and I will speak to you all my commandments and ceremonies, as well as judgments. These, you shall teach them, so that they may do them in the land, which I will give to them as a possession.
32 Gør derfor omhyggeligt således, som HERREN eders Gud har pålagt eder, uden at vige til højre eller venstre;
And so, keep and do the things which the Lord God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.
33 følg altid den Vej, som HERREN eders Gud har pålagt eder at gå, at I kan blive i Live og få det godt og leve længe i det Land, I skal tage i Besiddelse!
For you shall walk in the way that the Lord your God has instructed, so that you may live, and it may be well with you, and your days may be extended in the land of your possession.’”
