5 Mosebog 6
1 Dette er Budet, Anordningerne og Lovbudene, som HERREN eders Gud har påbudt at lære eder at handle efter i det Land, I skal over og tage i Besiddelse,
“These are the commandments and rules and regulations that Yahweh our God commanded me to teach to you. He wants you to obey them in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
2 for at du alle dine Levedage må frygte HERREN din Gud og holde alle hans Anordninger og Bud, som jeg giver dig, du selv, din Søn og din Sønnesøn, og få et langt Liv.
He wants you to revere him, and he wants you and your descendants to always obey all these rules and regulations that I am giving to you, in order that you may live for a long time.
3 Hør derfor, Israel, og gør omhyggeligt efter dem, for at det kan gå dig vel, og for at I må blive overvættes talrige, således som HERREN, dine Fædres Gud, har forjættet dig, i et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning.
So, you Israeli people, listen to them carefully and obey them. If you do that, things will go well with you, and you will become a nation with a very large population when you are living in that very fertile [IDM] land. That is what Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised [would happen].
4 Hør, Israel! HERREN vor Gud, HERREN er een.
“You Israeli people, listen! Only Yahweh is our God.
5 Og du skal elske HERREN din Gud af hele dit Hjerte, af hele din Sjæl og af hele din Styrke.
You must love him with all your inner being and with all that you feel and with all that you do.
6 Disse Bud, som jeg pålægger dig i Dag, skal du tage dig til Hjerte;
Never forget [IDM] these commands that I am giving to you today.
7 og du skal indprente dine Børn dem og tale om dem, både når du sidder i dit Hus, og når du vandrer på Vejen, både når du lægger dig, og når du står op;
Teach them to your children again and again. Talk about them [all the time]: When you are in your houses and when you are walking outside; talk about them when you are lying down and when you are doing things.
8 du skal binde dem som et Tegn om din Hånd, de skal være som et Erindringsmærke på din Pande,
[Write them on tiny scrolls and] fasten them to your arms/wrists, and write them on bands that you fasten to your foreheads [to help you to remember them].
9 og du skal skrive dem på Dørstolperne af dit Hus og på dine Porte.
Write them on the doorposts and on the gates of your houses.
10 Og når 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,
“Yahweh our God vowed to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that he will give you a land that already has in it large and prosperous cities that you did not build.
11 Huse, der er fulde af alt godt, som du ikke har samlet, udhuggede Ciesterner, som du ikke har udhugget, Vingårde og Olivenhaver, som du ikke har plantet, og du spiser dig mæt,
He said that the houses in those cities will already be full of many good things that [others put there]; you did not put them there. There will be wells that others have dug. There will be vineyards and olive trees that others planted. So when Yahweh brings you into that land, and you have all that you want to eat,
12 vogt dig da for at glemme HERREN, som førte dig ud af Ægypten, af Trællehuset;
be sure that you do not forget Yahweh who rescued you from being slaves [in Egypt and gave all these things to you].
13 HERREN din Gud skal du frygte, ham skal du dyrke, og ved hans Navn skal du svælge!
“You must revere Yahweh our God, and you must serve only him and say that he should [MTY] punish you if you do not do what you have promised.
14 I må ikke holde eder til andre Guder, til nogen af de omboende Folks Guder,
You must not worship any other gods, the gods that the people-groups who will live near you worship.
15 thi HERREN din Gud er en nidkær Gud i din Midte; ellers vil HERREN din Guds Vrede blusse op imod dig, så han udrydder dig af Jorden.
Yahweh our God, who lives among you, (will not accept/will punish) people who worship anyone or anything else. So if you worship any other god, Yahweh will be very angry with you, and he will get rid of you completely.
16 I må ikke friste HERREN eders Gud, som I gjorde ved Massa.
Do not do sinful things to find out if you can do them without Yahweh our God punishing you, like your ancestors did at Massah.
17 I skal omhyggeligt holde HERREN eders Guds Bud, Vidnesbyrd og Anordninger, som han har pålagt dig;
Be sure that you always obey all the laws, the commandments, the rules, and the regulations that he has given to you.
18 og du skal gøre, hvad der er ret og godt i HERRENs Øjne, for at det må gå dig vel, og du må komme ind og få det herlige Land i Eje. som HERREN tilsvor dine Fædre,
Do what Yahweh says is right and good. If you do that, things will go well with you. You will be able to enter and occupy the good/fertile land that Yahweh vowed to give to our ancestors.
19 idet han jager alle dine Fjender bort foran dig, som HERREN har sagt!
He will do that by expelling your enemies from that land, just like he promised to do.
20 Når din Søn i Fremtiden spørger dig: "Hvorledes har det sig med de Vidnesbyrd, Anordninger og Lovbud, som HERREN vor Gud gav eder?"
“In the future, when your children ask you, ‘Why did Yahweh our God command us to obey all these rules and regulations?’
21 så skal du svare din Søn således: "Vi var engang Faraos Trælle i Ægypten; men HERREN førte os ud af Ægypten med stærk Hånd.
tell them, ‘Our ancestors were slaves of the king in Egypt, but Yahweh brought them out of Egypt by his great power [MTY].
22 Og HERREN udførte Tegn og store, ødelæggende Undere på Ægypten, på Farao og hele hans Hus, lige for vore Øjne;
They saw him do many kinds of miracles [DOU] and do terrifying things to the people of Egypt and to the king and his officials.
23 men os førte han ud derfra for at føre os ind og give os det Land, han havde tilsvoret vore Fædre.
He rescued our ancestors from Egypt and brought them here to give them this land, just like he vowed that he would do.
24 Dengang pålagde HERREN os at handle efter alle disse Anordninger, idet vi frygter HERREN vor Gud, for at det altid må gå os vel, for at han kan lade os blive i Live, som det hidtil er sket.
And he commanded us to obey all these laws and to revere him, for our own good and in order that he would protect our nation and enable us to prosper, as he is doing now.
25 Og vi skal stå som retfærdige for HERREN vor Guds Ansigt, når vi handler efter alle disse Anordninger, således som han har pålagt os!"
Yahweh our God will (approve of us/consider us to be righteous) if we carefully obey everything that he has commanded us to do.’”
