Deuteronomy 6
1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go to possess 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 you might fear the LORD your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.
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 it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you, in the land that flows with milk and honey.
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 you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
Og du skal elske HERREN din Gud af hele dit Hjerte, af hele din Sjæl og af hele din Styrke.
6 And these words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart:
Disse Bud, som jeg paalægger dig i Dag, skal du tage dig til Hjerte;
7 And you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise 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 you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
du skal binde dem som et Tegn om din Haand, de skal være som et Erindringsmærke paa din Pande,
9 And you shall write them on the posts of your house, and on your gates.
og du skal skrive dem paa Dørstolperne af dit Hus og paa dine Porte.
10 And it shall be, when the LORD your God shall have brought you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and goodly cities, which you built not,
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 And houses full of all good things, which you filled not, and wells dig, which you digged not, vineyards and olive trees, which you planted not; when you shall have eaten and be full;
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 Then beware lest you forget the LORD, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
vogt dig da for at glemme HERREN, som førte dig ud af Ægypten, af Trællehuset;
13 You shall fear the LORD your God, and serve him, and shall swear by his name.
HERREN din Gud skal du frygte, ham skal du dyrke, og ved hans Navn skal du sværge!
14 You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;
I maa ikke holde eder til andre Guder, til nogen af de omboende Folks Guder,
15 (For the LORD your God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and destroy you 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 You shall not tempt the LORD your God, as you tempted him in Massah.
I maa ikke friste HERREN eders Gud, som I gjorde ved Massa.
17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
I skal omhyggeligt holde HERREN eders Guds Bud, Vidnesbyrd og Anordninger, som han har paalagt dig;
18 And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore 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 cast out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken.
idet han jager alle dine Fjender bort foran dig, som HERREN har sagt!
20 And when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God has commanded you?
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 you shall say to your son, We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
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 showed signs and wonders, great and sore, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his household, before our eyes:
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 from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore 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 commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this 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 it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments 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!«
