Deuteronomy 6

1 And these [are] the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment to teach you to do so in the land on which ye enter to inherit it.

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,

2 That ye may fear the Lord your God, keep ye all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command thee to-day, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, all the days of thy life, that ye may live many days.

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.

3 Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of thy fathers said that he would give thee a land flowing with milk and honey: and these [are] the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt.

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.

4 Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord.

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

5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, and with all thy soul, and all thy strength.

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

6 And these words, all that I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart and in thy soul.

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

7 And thou shalt teach them to thy children, and thou shalt speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.

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;

8 And thou shalt fasten them for a sign upon thy hand, and it shall be immoveable before thine eyes.

du skal binde dem som et Tegn om din Haand, de skal være som et Erindringsmærke paa din Pande,

9 And ye shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates.

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

10 And it shall come to pass when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware to thy fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and beautiful cities which thou didst not build,

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,

11 houses full of all good things which thou didst not fill, wells dug in the rock which thou didst not dig, vineyards and oliveyards which thou didst not plant, then having eaten and been filled,

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,

12 beware lest thou forget the Lord thy God that brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

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

13 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve; and thou shalt cleave to him, and by his name thou shalt swear.

HERREN din Gud skal du frygte, ham skal du dyrke, og ved hans Navn skal du sværge!

14 Go ye not after other gods of the gods of the nations round about you;

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

15 for the Lord thy God in the midst of thee [is] a jealous God, lest the Lord thy God be very angry with thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

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.

16 Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, as ye tempted him in the temptation.

I maa ikke friste HERREN eders Gud, som I gjorde ved Massa.

17 Thou shalt by all means keep the commands of the Lord thy God, the testimonies, and the ordinances, which he commanded thee.

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

18 And thou shalt do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord thy God, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and inherit the good land, which the Lord sware to your fathers,

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,

19 to chase all thine enemies from before thy face, as the Lord said.

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

20 And it shall come to pass when thy son shall ask thee at a future time, saying, What are the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord our God has commanded us?

Naar din Søn i Fremtiden spørger dig: »Hvorledes har det sig med de Vidnesbyrd, Anordninger og Lovbud, som HERREN vor Gud gav eder?«

21 Then shalt thou say to thy son, We were slaves to Pharao in the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought us forth thence with a mighty hand, and with a high arm.

saa skal du svare din Søn saaledes: »Vi var engang Faraos Trælle i Ægypten; men HERREN førte os ud af Ægypten med stærk Haand.

22 And the Lord wrought signs and great and grievous wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and on his house before us.

Og HERREN udførte Tegn og store, ødelæggende Undere paa Ægypten, paa Farao og hele hans Hus, lige for vore Øjne;

23 And he brought us out thence to give us this land, which he sware to give to our fathers.

men os førte han ud derfra for at føre os ind og give os det Land, han havde tilsvoret vore Fædre.

24 And the Lord charged us to observe all these ordinances; to fear the Lord our God, that it may be well with us for ever, that we may live, as even to-day.

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.

25 And there shall be mercy to us, if we take heed to keep all these commands before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.

Og vi skal staa som retfærdige for HERREN vor Guds Ansigt, naar vi handler efter alle disse Anordninger, saaledes som han har paalagt os!«
