Deuteronomy 26
1 And it shall be, when you are come in to the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell therein;
Naar du kommer ind i det Land, HERREN din Gud giver dig til Arv, og tager det i Besiddelse og bosætter dig deri,
2 That you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which you shall bring of your land that the LORD your God gives you, and shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose to place his name there.
skal du tage en Del af Førstegrøden af alle de Jordens Frugter, som du høster af det Land, HERREN din Gud giver dig, og lægge dem i en Kurv og begive dig til det Sted, HERREN din Gud udvælger til Bolig for sit Navn.
3 And you shall go to the priest that shall be in those days, and say to him, I profess this day to the LORD your God, that I am come to the country which the LORD swore to our fathers for to give us.
Naar du saa kommer til den Præst, som er der paa den Tid, skal du sige til ham: »Jeg vidner i Dag for HERREN din Gud, at jeg er kommet ind i det Land, HERREN tilsvor vore Fædre at ville give os.«
4 And the priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD your God.
Saa skal Præsten tage Kurven af din Haand og sætte den hen foran HERREN din Guds Alter.
5 And you shall speak and say before the LORD your God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:
Derpaa skal du tage til Orde og sige for HERREN din Guds Aasyn: »En omvankende Aramæer var min Stamfader; han drog ned til Ægypten og boede der som fremmed med nogle faa Mænd, men der blev han til et stort, mægtigt og talrigt Folk.
6 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid on us hard bondage:
Men Ægypterne mishandlede og plagede os og paalagde os haardt Trællearbejde;
7 And when we cried to the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labor, and our oppression:
da raabte vi til HERREN, vore Fædres Gud, og HERREN hørte vor Røst og saa til vor Elendighed, Møje og Trængsel;
8 And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:
og HERREN førte os ud af Ægypten med stærk Haand og udstrakt Arm, med store, forfærdelige Gerninger og med Tegn og Undere;
9 And he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, even a land that flows with milk and honey.
og han førte os til dette Sted og gav os dette Land, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning.
10 And now, behold, I have brought the first fruits of the land, which you, O LORD, have given me. And you shall set it before the LORD your God, and worship before the LORD your God:
Og her bringer jeg nu Førstegrøden af Frugterne af den Jord, du har givet mig, HERRE!« Derpaa skal du stille Kurven hen for HERREN din Guds Aasyn og tilbede for HERREN din Guds Aasyn
11 And you shall rejoice in every good thing which the LORD your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you.
og saa være glad over alt det gode, HERREN din Gud giver dig, sammen med din Husstand, Leviten og den fremmede, der bor i din Midte.
12 When you have made an end of tithing all the tithes of your increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled;
Naar du det tredje Aar, Tiendeaaret, er færdig med at aflevere hele Tienden af din Afgrøde og har givet Leviten, den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken den, saa de kan spise sig mætte inden dine Porte,
13 Then you shall say before the LORD your God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandments which you have commanded me: I have not transgressed your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
da skal du sige for HERREN din Guds Aasyn: »Jeg har leveret det hellige ud fra mit Hus, jeg har ogsaa givet Leviten, den fremmede, den faderløse og Enken det efter alt dit Bud, som du har givet os; jeg har ikke overtraadt noget af dine Bud og intet glemt.
14 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away anything thereof for any unclean use, nor given anything thereof for the dead: but I have listened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that you have commanded me.
Jeg har ikke spist deraf, medens jeg havde Sorg, jeg har ikke været uren, da jeg afleverede det, og jeg har ikke givet en død noget deraf, jeg har adlydt HERREN min Guds Røst, jeg har handlet nøje efter dit Bud.
15 Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the land which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land that flows with milk and honey.
Se derfor ned fra din hellige Bolig, fra Himmelen, og velsign dit Folk Israel og den Jord, du gav os, som du tilsvor vore Fædre, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning!«
16 This day the LORD your God has commanded you to do these statutes and judgments: you shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart, and with all your soul.
I Dag byder HERREN din Gud dig at handle efter disse Anordninger og Lovbud; hold dem derfor omhyggeligt af hele dit Hjerte og hele din Sjæl!
17 You have avouched the LORD this day to be your God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to listen to his voice:
Du har i Dag ladet HERREN tilsige dig, at han vil være din Gud, og at han vil sætte dig højt over alle Folk, som han har skabt, til Pris og Berømmelse og Ære.
18 And the LORD has avouched you this day to be his peculiar people, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments;
Og HERREN har i Dag ladet dig tilsige ham, at du vil være hans Ejendomsfolk, som han har sagt dig, og tage Vare paa alle hans Bud,
19 And to make you high above all nations which he has made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that you may be an holy people to the LORD your God, as he has spoken.
og at du vil gaa paa hans Veje og holde hans Anordninger, Bud og Lovbud og høre hans Røst, og at du vil være HERREN din Gud et helligt Folk, som han har sagt.
