Deuteronomy 11
1 Therefore you shall love the Lord your God, and shall observe his appointments, and his ordinances, and his commandments, and his judgments, always.
Og du skal elske Herren din Gud og tage Vare paa, hvad han vil have varetaget, og paa hans Skikke og hans Befalinger og hans Bud, alle Dage.
2 And you shall know this day; for [I speak] not to your children, who know not and have not seen the discipline of the Lord your God, and his wonderful works, and his strong hand, and his high arm,
Og I skulle kende i Dag — thi jeg taler ikke med eders Børn, som ikke kende, og som ikke have set det — Herren eders Guds Tugtelse, hans Storhed, hans stærke Haand og hans udrakte Arm
3 and his miracles, and his wonders, which he wrought in the midst of Egypt on Pharao king of Egypt, and all his land;
og hans Tegn og hans Gerninger, som han gjorde midt i Ægypten paa Farao, Kongen i Ægypten, og paa alt hans Land;
4 and what he did to the host of the Egyptians, and to their chariots, and their cavalry, and their host; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overwhelm the face of them as they pursued after you, and the Lord destroyed them until this day;
og hvad han gjorde paa Ægypternes Hær, paa deres Heste og paa deres Vogne, der han lod Vandet i det røde Hav flyde over dem, medens de forfulgte eder, og Herren lod dem omkomme indtil denne Dag;
5 and all the things which he did to you in the wilderness until you came into this place;
og hvad han har gjort ved eder i Ørken, indtil I ere komne til dette Sted;
6 and all the things that he did to Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab the son of Ruben, whom the earth opening her mouth swallowed up, and their houses, and their tents, and all their substance that was with them, in the midst of all Israel:
og hvad han gjorde ved Dathan og Abiram, Sønner af Eliab, Rubens Søn, at Jorden oplod sin Mund og opslugte dem og deres Huse og deres Telte og alle Ting, som fulgte med dem, midt iblandt hele Israel.
7 for your eyes have seen all the mighty works of the Lord, which he wrought among you today.
Thi eders Øjne have set alle Herrens store Gerninger, som han har gjort.
8 And you shall keep all his commandments, as many as I command you today, that you may live, and be multiplied, and that you may go in and inherit the land, into which you go across Jordan to inherit it:
Derfor skulle I holde alle de Bud, som jeg byder dig i Dag, at I maa blive stærke og komme ind og eje Landet, som I drage over til for at eje det,
9 that you may live long upon the land, which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, and to their seed after them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
og at I maa forlænge eders Dage i det Land, hvilket Herren tilsvor eders Fædre at give dem og deres Sæd, et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning.
10 For the land into which you go to inherit it, is not as the land of Egypt, whence you came out, whenever they sow the seed, and water it with their feet, as a garden of herbs:
Thi det Land, som du kommer hen til for at eje det, er ikke som Ægyptens Land, som I ere dragne ud fra, hvor du saaede din Sæd og maatte selv gaa og vande den som en Urtehave.
11 but the land into which you go to inherit it, is a land of mountains and plains; it shall drink water of the rain of heaven.
Men det Land, som I drage over til for at eje det, er et Land med Bjerge og Dale, det drikker Vand af Himmelens Regn,
12 A land which the Lord your God surveys continually, the eyes of the Lord your God are upon it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
et Land, som Herren din Gud har nøje Agt paa; Herren din Guds Øjne se stedse derpaa fra Aarets Begyndelse og indtil Aarets Ende.
13 Now if you will indeed listen to all the commands which I charge you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul,
Og det skal ske, dersom I høre mine Bud, som jeg byder eder i Dag, at elske Herren eders Gud og at tjene ham af eders ganske Hjerte og af eders ganske Sjæl:
14 then he shall give to your land the early and latter rain in its season, and you shall bring in your corn, and your wine, and your oil.
Da vil jeg give eders Land Regn paa sin Tid, tidlig Regn og sildig Regn, at du kan indsamle dit Korn og din nye Vin og din Olie.
15 And he shall give food in your fields to your cattle; and when you have eaten and are full,
Og jeg vil give dit Kvæg Urter paa din Mark, og du skal æde og blive mæt.
16 take heed to yourself that your heart be not puffed up, and you transgress, and serve other gods, and worship them:
Tager eder i Vare, at eders Hjerte ikke bliver bedaaret, saa at I vige af og tjene andre Guder og tilbede dem,
17 and the Lord be angry with you, and restrain the heaven; and there shall not be rain, and the earth shall not yield its fruit, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land, which the Lord has given you.
saa Herrens Vrede optændes imod eder, og han lukker Himmelen til, at der ingen Regn kommer, og Jorden ikke giver sin Grøde, og I snart udryddes fra det gode Land, som Herren giver eder.
18 And you shall store these words in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and it shall be fixed before your eyes.
Men I skulle lægge disse mine Ord paa eders Hjerte og paa eders Sjæl og binde dem til et Tegn paa eders Haand, at de kunne være til et Spand imellem eders Øjne.
19 And you shall teach them to your children, so as to speak about them when you sit in the house, and when you walk by the way, and when you sleep, and when you rise up.
Og I skulle lære eders Børn dem ved at tale derom, naar du sidder i dit Hus, og naar du gaar paa Vejen, og naar du lægger dig, og naar du staar op,
20 And you shall write them on the lintels of your houses, and on your gates;
og du skal skrive dem paa Dørstolperne i dit Hus og paa dine Porte;
21 that your days may be long, and the days of your children, upon the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
at eders Dage og eders Børns Dage maa blive mangfoldige i det Land, som Herren tilsvor eders Fædre at give dem, som Himmelens Dage ere over Jorden.
22 And it shall come to pass that if you will indeed listen to all these commands, which I charge you to observe this day, to love the Lord our God, and to walk in all his ways, and to cleave close to him;
Thi dersom I tage Vare paa alle disse Bud, som jeg byder eder at gøre efter, saa at I elske Herren eders Gud, vandre i alle hans Veje og hænge ved ham:
23 then the Lord shall cast out all these nations before you, and you shall inherit great nations and stronger than yourselves.
Da skal Herren fordrive alle disse Folk fra eders Ansigt, og I skulle eje større og stærkere Folk, end I selv ere.
24 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be your; from the wilderness and Antilibanus, and from the great river, the river Euphrates, even as far as the west sea shall be your coasts.
Hvert Sted, som I med eders Fodsaaler skulle træde paa, skal høre eder til: Fra Ørken og Libanon, fra Floden, den Flod Frat, og indtil det yderste Hav skal eders Landemærke være.
25 No one shall stand before you; and the Lord your God will put the fear of you and the dread of you on the face of all the land, on which you shall tread, as he told you.
Der skal ingen Mand kunne staa for eders Ansigt; Herren eders Gud skal lade Rædsel for eder og Frygt for eder komme over alt Landet, som I træde paa, ligesom han har sagt eder.
26 Behold, I set before you this day the blessing and the curse;
Se, jeg lægger i Dag for eders Ansigt Velsignelse og Forbandelse:
27 the blessing, if you listen to the commands of the Lord your God, all that I command you this day;
Velsignelsen, naar I lyde Herren eders Guds Bud, som jeg byder eder i Dag;
28 and the curse, if you do not listen to the commands of the Lord our God, as many as I command you this day, and you wander from the way which I have commanded you, having gone to serve other gods, which you know not.
og Forbandelsen, dersom I ikke lyde Herren eders Guds Bud, men vige fra den Vej, som jeg byder eder i Dag, saa at I vandre efter andre Guder, som I ikke kende.
29 And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land into which you go over to inherit it, then you shall put blessing on mount Garizin, and the curse upon mount Gaebal.
Og det skal ske, naar Herren din Gud fører dig ind i det Land, som du kommer hen til for at eje det, da skal du lyse Velsignelsen paa det Bjerg Garizim og Forbandelsen paa det Bjerg Ebal.
30 Behold! are not these beyond Jordan, behind, westward in the land of Chanaan, which lies westward near Golgol, by the high oak?
Ere disse ikke paa hin Side Jordanen bag Vejen imod Solens Nedgang, i Kananiternes Land, som bo paa den slette Mark, tværs over for Gilgal ved More Lund?
31 For you are passing over Jordan, to go in and inherit the land, which the Lord our God gives you to inherit always, and you shall dwell in it.
Thi I gaa over Jordanen for at komme ind at eje Landet, som Herren eders Gud giver eder; og I skulle eje det og bo i det.
32 And you shall take heed to do all his ordinances, and these judgments, as many as I set before you today.
Saa skulle I tage Vare paa at gøre efter alle de Skikke og Bud, som jeg lægger for eders Ansigt paa denne Dag.
