Deuteronomy 30
1 “Now when all these things will have fallen over you, the blessing or the curse that I have set forth in your sight, and you will have been led to repentance in your heart among all the nations to which the Lord your God will have dispersed you,
Men når alt dette kommer over dig, både Velsignelser og Forbandelsen, som jeg har forelagt dig, og du lægger dig det på Sinde ude blandt alle de Folkeslag, HERREN din Gud forstøder dig hen iblandt,
2 and when you will have returned to him, so as to obey his commandments, just as I have instructed you this day, with your sons, with your whole heart and with your whole soul,
og tillige med dine Børn af hele dit Hjerte og hele din Sjæl omvender dig til HERREN din Gud og adlyder hans Røst i alt, hvad jeg i. Dag byder dig,
3 then the Lord your God will lead you away from your captivity, and he will take pity on you, and he will gather you again from all the nations to which he had dispersed you before.
så vil HERREN din Gud vende din Skæbne og forbarme sig over dig og samle dig fra alle de Folk, HERREN din Gud, spreder dig iblandt.
4 Even if you will have been scattered as far as the poles of the heavens, the Lord your God will retrieve you from there.
Om så dine forstødte befinder sig ved Himmelens Ende, vil HERREN din Gud samle dig sammen og hente dig derfra.
5 And he will take you up and lead you into the land which your fathers had possessed, and you shall obtain it. And in blessing you, he will make you greater in number than your fathers ever were.
Og HERREN din Gud vil føre dig ind i det Land, dine Fædre havde i Eje, og du skal få det i Eje, og han vil gøre dig endnu lykkeligere og talrigere end dine Fædre.
6 The Lord your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, so that you may love the Lord your God with your entire heart and with your entire soul, so that you may be able to live.
Og HERREN din Gud vil omskære dit Hjerte og dit Afkoms Hjerte, så du elsker HERREN din Gud" af hele dit Hjerte og hele din Sjæl, for at du må leve.
7 And he will turn all these curses upon your enemies, and upon those who hate and persecute you.
Og HERREN din Gud vil bringe alle dine Forbandelser over dine Fjender og Avindsmænd, der har forfulgt dig.
8 But you shall return, and you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God. And you shall carry out all the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day.
Da skal du omvende dig og adlyde HERREN din Guds Røst og handle efter alle hans Bud, som jeg i Dag pålægger dig.
9 And the Lord your God will cause you to abound in all the works of your hands, in the progeny of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, in the fertility of your land, and with an abundance of all things. For the Lord will return, so that he may rejoice over you in all good things, just as he rejoiced in your fathers:
Og HERREN din Gud vil give dig Overflod i alt, hvad du tager dig for, Overflod af dit Livs, dit Kvægs og din Jords Frugt; thi HERREN skal atter komme til at glæde sig over dig til dit Bedste, som han glædede sig over dine Fædre,
10 but only if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which have been written in this law, and only if you return to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
fordi du adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst og holder hans Bud og Anordninger, der er optegnet i denne Lovbog, fordi du af hele dit Hjerte og hele din Sjæl omvender dig til HERREN din Gud.
11 This commandment, which I entrust to you today, is not high above you, nor has it been placed far away.
Thi Budet, som jeg i Dag pålægger dig, er dig ikke ufatteligt og er heller ikke langt borte.
12 Nor is it in heaven, so that you would be able to say, ‘Which of us can ascend to heaven, so as to carry it back to us, and so that we may hear it and fulfill it in deed?’
Det er ikke i Himmelen, så du måtte sige: "Hvem skal stige op til Himmelen for os og hente det ned til os og kundgøre os det, så vi kan handle derefter?"
13 Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you would excuse yourself by saying, ‘Which of us is able to cross the sea, and to carry it back to us, so that we may be able to hear and to do what has been instructed?’
Ikke heller er det hinsides Havet, så du måtte sige: "Hvem skal drage over Havet for os og hente det til os og kundgøre os det, så vi kan handle derefter?"
14 Instead, the word is near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.
Nej, Ordet er dig ganske nær, i din Mund og i dit Hjerte, så du kan handle derefter.
15 Consider what I have set forth in your sight this day, life and good, or, on the opposite side, death and evil,
Se, jeg forelægger dig i Dag Livet og Lykken, Døden og Ulykken!
16 so that you may love the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and so that you may live, and he may multiply you and bless you in the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.
Hvis du lyder HERREN din Guds Bud, som jeg i Dag pålægger dig, så at du elsker HERREN din Gud og vandrer på hans Veje og holder hans Bud, Anordninger og Lovbud, så skal du leve og blive mangfoldig, og HERREN din Gud vil velsigne dig i det Land, du skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.
17 But if your heart will have been turned aside, so that you are not willing to listen, and, having been deceived by error, you adore strange gods and serve them,
Men hvis dit Hjerte vender sig bort, og: du ikke er lydig, men lader dig forføre til at tilbede fremmede Guder og dyrke dem,
18 then I predict to you this day that you will perish, and you will remain for only a short time in the land, for which you shall cross the Jordan, and which you shall enter in order to possess.
så kundgør jeg eder i Dag, at I visselig skal gå til Grunde; I skal ikke komme til at leve længe i det Land, du skal ind og tage i Besiddelse efter at være gået over Jordan.
19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your offspring may live,
Jeg tager i Dag Himmelen og Jorden til Vidne mod eder på, at jeg har forelagt eder Livet og Døden, Velsignelsen og Forbandelsen. Så vælg da Livet, for at du og dit Afkom må leve,
20 and so that you may love the Lord your God, and obey his voice, and cling to him, (for he is your life and the length of your days) and so that you may live in the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them.”
idet du elsker HERREN din Gud og adlyder hans Røst og hænger ved ham; thi deraf afhænger dit Liv og Tallet på de Dage, du kommer til at bo i det Land, HERREN svor at ville give dine Fædre, Abraham, Isak og Jakob.
