< Deuteronomy 12 >

1 “These [are] the statutes and the judgments which you observe to do in the land which YHWH, God of your fathers, has given to you to possess it, all the days that you are living on the ground.
Dette er de Anordninger og Lovbud, I omhyggeligt skal handle efter i det Land, HERREN, dine Fædres Gud, giver dig i Eje, så længe I lever på Jorden.
2 You utterly destroy all the places where the nations which you are dispossessing served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the heights, and under every green tree;
I skal i Bund og Grund ødelægge alle de Steder, hvor de Folk, I driver bort, dyrker deres Guder, på de høje Bjerge, på Højene og under alle grønne Træer!
3 and you have broken down their altars, and shattered their standing pillars, and you burn their Asherim with fire, and you cut down carved images of their gods, and have destroyed their name out of that place.
I skal nedbryde deres Altre og sønderslå deres Stenstøtter, I skal opbrænde deres Asjerastøtter og omhugge deres Gudebilleder og udrydde deres Navn fra hvert sådant Sted.
4 You do not do so to your God YHWH;
I må ikke bære eder således ad over for HERREN eders Gud;
5 rather—that you seek after the place which your God YHWH chooses out of all your tribes to put His Name there, for His Dwelling Place, and you have entered there,
men til det Sted, HERREN eders Gud udvælger blandt alle eders Stammer for at stedfæste sit Navn og lade det bo der, skal I søge, og der skal du gå hen;
6 and have brought in there your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the raised-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your free-will offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock;
derhen skal I bringe eders Brændofre og Slagtofre, eders Tiender og Offerydelser, eders Løfteofre og Frivilligofre og de førstefødte af eders Hornkvæg og Småkvæg;
7 and you have eaten there before your God YHWH, and have rejoiced in every putting forth of your hand, you and your households, with which your God YHWH has blessed you.
der skal I holde Måltid for HERREN eders Guds Åsyn og sammen med eders Husstand være glade over alt, hvad I erhverver, hvad HERREN din Gud velsigner dig med.
8 You do not do according to all that we are doing here today—each [doing] anything that is right in his own eyes—
I må ikke bære eder ad, som vi nu for Tiden gør her, hvor enhver gør, hvad han finder for godt;
9 for until now you have not come to the rest and to the inheritance which your God YHWH is giving to you.
thi endnu er I jo ikke kommet til det Hvilested og den Arvelod, HERREN din Gud vil give dig.
10 When you have passed over the Jordan, and have dwelt in the land which your God YHWH is causing you to inherit, and He has given rest to you from all your surrounding enemies, and you have dwelt confidently,
Men når I er gået over Jordan og har fæstet Bo i det Land, HERREN eders Gud vil give eder til Arv, og han får skaffet eder Ro for alle eders Fjender trindt omkring, så I kan bo trygt,
11 then it has been, the place on which your God YHWH fixes to cause His Name to dwell there, there you bring in all that which I am commanding you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the raised-offering of your hand, and all the choice of your vows which you vow to YHWH.
da skal det Sted, HERREN eders Gud udvælger til Bolig for sit Navn, være det, hvorhen I skal bringe alt, hvad jeg pålægger eder, eders Brændofre og Slagtofre, eders Tiender og Offerydelser og alle eders udvalgte Løftofre, som I lover HERREN;
12 And you have rejoiced before your God YHWH, you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your handmaids, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, for he has no part and inheritance with you.
og der skal I være glade for HERREN eders Guds Åsyn sammen med eders Sønner og Døtre, eders Trælle og Trælkvinder og Leviten inden eders Porte; thi han har jo ingen Arvelod og Del som I andre.
13 Take heed to yourself lest you cause your burnt-offerings to ascend in any place which you see;
Vogt dig for at ofre dine Brændofre på et hvilket som helst Sted, dit Øje falder på.
14 rather—that in the place which YHWH chooses in one of your tribes, there you cause your burnt-offerings to ascend, and there you do all that which I am commanding you.
Men på det Sted HERREN udvælger i en af dine Stammer, der skal du ofre dine Brændofre, og der skal du gøre alt, hvad jeg pålægger dig.
15 Nevertheless, you slaughter anything of the desire of your soul, and have eaten [its] flesh according to the blessing of your God YHWH which He has given to you in all your gates; the unclean and the clean eat it, as [if] the roe and as [if] the deer.
Derimod må du, så meget du lyster, slagte Kvæg og nyde Kød rundt om i dine Byer, alt som HERREN din Gud velsigner dig; urene og rene må spise det, som var det Gazeller eller Hjorte.
16 Only, you do not eat the blood—you pour it on the earth as water;
Kun Blodet må ikke nyde; det skal du lade løbe ud på Jorden som Vand.
17 you are not able to eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, and of your new wine, and your oil, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock, and any of your vows which you vow, and your free-will offerings, and a raised-offering of your hand;
Men inden dine Porte må du ikke nyde Tienden af dit Korn, din Most og din Olie eller de førstefødte af dit Hornkvæg og Småkvæg eller noget af dine Løfteofre og Frivilligofre eller nogen af dine Offerydelser;
18 but you eat it before your God YHWH in the place which your God YHWH fixes on, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, and you have rejoiced before your God YHWH in every putting forth of your hand;
men for HERREN din Guds Åsyn, på det Sted, HERREN din Gud udvælger, skal du nyde alt dette sammen med din Søn og Datter, din Træl og Trælkvinde og Leviten inden dine Porte, og du skal være glad for HERREN din Guds Åsyn over alt, hvad du erhverver dig.
19 take heed to yourself lest you forsake the Levite [for] all your days on your ground.
Vogt dig vel for at glemme Leviten, så længe du lever i dit Land!
20 When your God YHWH enlarges your border, as He has spoken to you, and you have said, Let me eat flesh—for your soul desires to eat flesh—you eat flesh of all the desire of your soul.
Når HERREN din Gud udvider dine Landemærker, som han har lovet dig, og du da får Lyst til Kød og siger: "Jeg vil have Kød at spise", så spis kun Kød, så meget du lyster.
21 When the place is far from you [in] which your God YHWH chooses to put His Name there, then you have sacrificed from your herd and from your flock which YHWH has given to you, as I have commanded you, and have eaten within your gates, of all the desire of your soul;
Hvis det Sted, HERREN din Gud udvælger for der at stedfæste sit Navn, ligger langt fra dig, så må du slagte af dit Hornkvæg og Småkvæg, som HERREN giver dig, således som jeg har pålagt dig, og spise det inden dine Porte, så meget du lyster.
22 only, as the roe and the deer is eaten, so do you eat it; the unclean and the clean alike eat it.
Men du skal spise det, som man spiser Gazeller og Hjorte; både urene og rene må spise det.
23 Only, be sure not to eat the blood, for the blood [is] the life, and you do not eat the life with the flesh;
Kun må du ufravigeligt afholde dig fra at nyde Blodet; thi Blodet er Sjælen, og du må ikke nyde Sjælen tillige med Kødet.
24 you do not eat it—you pour it on the earth as water;
Du må ikke nyde det, men du skal lade det løbe ud på Jorden som Vand.
25 you do not eat it, in order that it may be well with you and with your sons after you when you do that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH.
Afhold dig fra at nyde det, for at det kan gå dig og dine Børn efter dig vel, idet du gør, had der er ret i HERRENs Øjne.
26 Only, your holy things which you have, and your vows, you take up, and have gone to the place which YHWH chooses,
Men dine hellige Gaver og Løfteofre skal du komme med til det Sted, HERREN udvælger;
27 and you have made your burnt-offerings—the flesh and the blood—on the altar of your God YHWH; and the blood of your sacrifices is poured out by the altar of your God YHWH, and you eat the flesh.
og du skal bringe dine Brændofre, både Kødet og Blodet, på HERREN din Guds Alter; og Blodet af dine Slagtofre skal udøses på HERREN din Guds Alter, men Kødet må du spise.
28 Observe, and you have obeyed all these words which I am commanding you, in order that it may be well with you and with your sons after you for all time, when you do that which [is] good and right in the eyes of your God YHWH.
Adlyd omhyggeligt alle disse Bud, som jeg i Dag pålægger dig, for at det kan gå dig og dine Børn efter dig vel til evig Tid, idet du gør, hvad der er godt og ret i HERREN din Guds Øjne.
29 When your God YHWH cuts off the nations—to where you are going in to possess them—from your presence, and you have possessed them, and have dwelt in their land—
Når HERREN din Gud udrydder de Folk, du drager hen at drive bort, og du har drevet dem bort og bosat dig i deres Land,
30 take heed to yourself lest you are ensnared after them, after their being destroyed out of your presence, and lest you inquire about their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods, that I also do so?
så vogt dig for at lade dig lokke til at gå i deres Fodspor, efter at de er udryddet foran dig, og for at spørge dig for angående deres Guder, idet du siger: "Hvorledes plejede disse Folkeslag at dyrke deres Guder? Således vil også jeg bære mig ad."
31 You do not do so to your God YHWH; for every abomination that YHWH has hated they have done for their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters with fire for their gods.
Således må du ikke bære dig ad over for HERREN din Gud; thi alt, hvad der er HERREN en Vederstyggelighed, alt, hvad han hader, har de gjort over for deres Guder; ja, de brændte endog deres Sønner og Døtre til Ære for deres Guder!
32 The whole thing which I am commanding you, you observe to do it; you do not add to it, nor diminish from it.”
Alt, hvad jeg pålægger eder, skal I omhyggeligt udføre. Du må hverken lægge noget til eller trække noget fra.
