Deuteronomy 10

1 “At that time, the Lord said to me: ‘Hew for yourself two tablets of stone, like those that were before, and ascend to me on the mountain. And you shall make an ark of wood.

Ved denne Tid sagde HERREN til mig: Tilhug dig to Stentavler ligesom de forrige og stig op til mig på Bjerget; lav dig også en Ark af Træ!

2 And I will write on the tablets the words which were on those that you broke before, and you shall place them in the ark.’

Så vil jeg på Tavlerne skrive de Ord, der stod på de forrige Tavler, som du knuste, og du skal lægge dem ned i Arken!"

3 And so, I made an ark of setim wood. And when I had hewn two tablets of stone like the former, I ascended onto the mountain, having them in my hands.

Da lavede jeg en Ark af Akacietræ og tilhuggede to Stentavler ligesom de forrige og steg op på Bjerget med de to Tavler i Hånden.

4 And he wrote on the tablets, according to that which he had written before, the ten words, which the Lord spoke to you on the mountain from the midst of fire, when the people were assembled. And he gave them to me.

Og han skrev på Tavlerne det samme, som var skrevet første Gang, de ti Ord, som HERREN havde talt til eder på Bjerget ud fra Ilden, den Dag I var forsamlet. Og HERREN overgav mig dem.

5 And returning from the mountain, I descended and placed the tablets in the ark, which I had made, and they are still there even now, just as the Lord instructed me.

Så vendte jeg mig bort og steg ned fra Bjerget og lagde Tavlerne i den Ark, jeg havde lavet, og der blev de liggende, som HERREN havde pålagt mig.

6 Then the sons of Israel moved their camp, from Beeroth among the sons of Jaakan, into Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried, and where his son Eleazar was installed in the priesthood in his place.

Og Israelitterne drog fra Be'erotbene-Ja'akan til Mosera. Der døde Aron, og der blev han jordet, og hans Søn Eleazar blev Præst i hans Sted.

7 From there, they went into Gudgodah. From that place, they set out and camped at Jotbathah, in a land of waters and torrents.

Derfra drog de til Gudgoda og fra Gudgoda til Jotbata, en Egn med Vandløb.

8 At that time, he separated the tribe of Levi, so that he would carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and stand before him in the ministry, and speak blessings in his name, even to the present day.

På den Tid udskilte HERREN Levis Stamme til at bære HERRENs Pagts Ark og til at stå for HERRENs Åsyn og tjene ham og velsigne i hans Navn, som det sker den Dag i Dag.

9 As a result, Levi has no portion or possession with his brothers. For the Lord himself is his possession, just as the Lord your God promised him.

Derfor fik Levi ikke Arvelod og Del sammen med sine Brødre; HERREN selv er hans Arvelod, som HERREN din Gud lovede ham.

10 Then I stood on the mountain, as before, for forty days and nights. And the Lord heeded me at this time also, and he was not willing to destroy you.

Men jeg blev på Bjerget lige så længe som forrige Gang, fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter, og HERREN bønhørte mig også denne Gang; HERREN vilde ikke tilintetgøre dig.

11 And he said to me: ‘Go forth and walk before the people, so that they may enter and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers that I would deliver to them.’

Da sagde HERREN til mig: "Rejs dig og bryd op i Spidsen for Folket, for at de kan komme og tage det Land i Besiddelse, jeg tilsvor deres Fædre at ville give dem!"

12 And now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? Only that you fear the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and love him, and serve the Lord your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul,

Og nu, Israel! Hvad andet kræver HERREN din Gud af dig, end at du skal frygte HERREN din Gud, så du vandrer på alle hans Veje, og at du skal elske ham og tjene HERREN din Gud af hele dit Hjerte og hele din Sjæl,

13 and that you keep the commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies, which I am instructing to you this day, so that it may be well with you.

så du holder HERRENs Bud og Anordninger, som jeg i Dag pålægger dig, for at det må gå dig vel.

14 Lo, heaven belongs to the Lord your God, and the heaven of heaven, and the earth, and all the things that are within these.

Se, Himmelen og Himlenes Himle og Jorden med alt, hvad der er på den, tilhører HERREN din Gud;

15 Now the Lord was closely joined to your fathers, and he loved them, and he chose their offspring after them, that is, you yourselves, out of all the nations, just as is being proven today.

men kun til dine Fædre fattede han Velbehag, så han elskede dem, og eder, deres Afkom, udvalgte han af alle Folkeslag, som det nu er kendeligt.

16 Therefore, circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and no longer stiffen your neck.

Så omskær nu eders Hjerters Forhud og gør ikke mer eders Nakker stive!

17 For the Lord your God himself is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, a God great and powerful and terrible, who favors no person and accepts no bribe.

Thi HERREN eders Gud er Gudernes Gud og Herrernes Herre, den store, vældige, forfærdelige Gud, som ikke viser Personsanseelse eller lader sig købe,

18 He accomplishes judgment for the orphan and the widow. He loves the sojourner, and he gives him food as well as clothing.

som skaffer den faderløse og Enken Ret og elsker den fremmede og giver ham Brød og klæder.

19 Therefore, you also should love sojourners, for you also were new arrivals in the land of Egypt.

Derfor skal I elske den fremmede, thi I var selv fremmede i Ægypten.

20 You shall fear the Lord your God, and him alone shall you serve. You shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.

HERREN din Gud skal du frygte: ham skal du tjene, ved ham skal du holde fast, og ved hans Navn skal du sværge!

21 He is your praise and your God. He has done for you these great and terrible things, which your eyes have seen.

Han er din Lovsang, og han er din Gud, han, som har gjort disse store og forfærdelige Ting imod dig, som du med egne Øjne har set!

22 As seventy souls, your fathers descended into Egypt. And now, behold, the Lord your God has multiplied you to be like the stars of heaven.”

Halvfjerdsindstyve i Tal drog dine Fædre ned til Ægypten, og nu har HERREN din Gud gjort dig talrig som Himmelens Stjerner!
