Deuteronomy 12
1 These are the statutes and the judgments which you shall observe to do in the land which Adonai, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess it, all the days that you live on the earth.
Dette er de Anordninger og Lovbud, I omhyggeligt skal handle efter i det Land, HERREN, dine Fædres Gud, giver dig i Eje, saa længe I lever paa Jorden.
2 You shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that you shall dispossess abad ·served· their deities, on the high mountains, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
I skal i Bund og Grund ødelægge alle de Steder, hvor de Folk, I driver bort, dyrker deres Guder, paa de høje Bjerge, paa Højene og under alle grønne Træer!
3 You shall break down their altars, and dash their pillars in pieces, and burn their Asherah poles with fire. You shall cut down the engraved images of their deities. You shall destroy their name out of that place.
I skal nedbryde deres Altre og sønderslaa deres Stenstøtter, I skal opbrænde deres Asjerastøtter og omhugge deres Gudebilleder og udrydde deres Navn fra hvert saadant Sted.
4 You shall not do so to Adonai your God.
I maa ikke bære eder saaledes ad over for HERREN eders Gud;
5 But to the place which Adonai your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, you shall seek his habitation, and there you shall come.
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 gaa hen;
6 There you shall bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the wave offering of your hand, your vows, your free will offerings, and the firstborn 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 Smaakvæg;
7 There you shall eat before Adonai your God, and you shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, in which Adonai your God has blessed you.
der skal I holde Maaltid for HERREN eders Guds Aasyn og sammen med eders Husstand være glade over alt, hvad I erhverver, hvad HERREN din Gud velsigner dig med.
8 You shall not do after all the things that we do here today, every man whatever is right in his own eyes;
I maa ikke bære eder ad, som vi nu for Tiden gør her, hvor enhver gør, hvad han finder for godt;
9 for you haven’t yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which Adonai your God gives you.
thi endnu er I jo ikke kommet til det Hvilested og den Arvelod, HERREN din Gud vil give dig.
10 But when you go over the Jordan [Descender], and dwell in the land which Adonai your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies around you, so that you dwell in safety;
Men naar I er gaaet over Jordan og har fæstet Bo i det Land, HERREN eders Gud vil give eder til Arv, og han faar skaffet eder Ro for alle eders Fjender trindt omkring, saa I kan bo trygt,
11 then it shall happen that to the place which Adonai your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, there you shall bring all that I enjoin you: your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the wave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which you vow to Adonai.
da skal det Sted, HERREN eders Gud udvælger til Bolig for sit Navn, være det, hvorhen I skal bringe alt, hvad jeg paalægger eder, eders Brændofre og Slagtofre, eders Tiender og Offerydelser og alle eders udvalgte Løfteofre, som I lover HERREN;
12 You shall rejoice before Adonai your God, you, and your sons, your daughters, your male servants, your female servants, and the Levite [Descendant of United with] who is within your gates, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you.
og der skal I være glade for HERREN eders Guds Aasyn 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 Be careful that you don’t offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see;
Vogt dig for at ofre dine Brændofre paa et hvilket som helst Sted, dit Øje falder paa.
14 but in the place which Adonai chooses in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I enjoin you.
Men paa det Sted HERREN udvælger i en af dine Stammer, der skal du ofre dine Brændofre, og der skal du gøre alt, hvad jeg paalægger dig.
15 Notwithstanding, you may kill and eat meat within all your gates, after all the desire of your soul, according to Adonai your God’s blessing which he has given you. The unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle, and as of the deer.
Derimod maa du, saa meget du lyster, slagte Kvæg og nyde Kød rundt om i dine Byer, alt som HERREN din Gud velsigner dig; urene og rene maa spise det, som var det Gazeller eller Hjorte.
16 Only you shall not eat the blood. You shall pour it out on the earth like water.
Kun Blodet maa I ikke nyde; det skal du lade løbe ud paa Jorden som Vand.
17 You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, or of your new wine, or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your free will offerings, nor the wave offering of your hand;
Men inden dine Porte maa du ikke nyde Tienden af dit Korn, din Most og din Olie eller de førstefødte af dit Hornkvæg og Smaakvæg eller noget af dine Løfteofre og Frivilligofre eller nogen af dine Offerydelser;
18 but you shall eat them before Adonai your God in the place which Adonai your God shall choose, you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, and the Levite [Descendant of United with] who is within your gates. You shall rejoice before Adonai your God in all that you put your hand to.
men for HERREN din Guds Aasyn, paa 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 Aasyn over alt, hvad du erhverver dig.
19 Be careful that you don’t forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.
Vogt dig vel for at glemme Leviten, saa længe du lever i dit Land!
20 When Adonai your God enlarges your border, as he has promised you, and you shall say, “I want to eat meat,” because your soul desires to eat meat; you may eat meat, after all the desire of your soul.
Naar HERREN din Gud udvider dine Landemærker, som han har lovet dig, og du da faar Lyst til Kød og siger: »Jeg vil have Kød at spise«, saa spis kun Kød, saa meget du lyster.
21 If the place which Adonai your God shall choose, to put his name there, is too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which Adonai has given you, as I have enjoined you; and you may eat within your gates, after all the desire of your soul.
Hvis det Sted, HERREN din Gud udvælger for der at stedfæste sit Navn, ligger langt fra dig, saa maa du slagte af dit Hornkvæg og Smaakvæg, som HERREN giver dig, saaledes som jeg har paalagt dig, og spise det inden dine Porte, saa meget du lyster.
22 Even as the gazelle and as the deer is eaten, so you shall eat of it. The unclean and the clean may eat of it alike.
Men du skal spise det, som man spiser Gazeller og Hjorte; baade urene og rene maa spise det.
23 Only be sure that you don’t eat the blood; for the blood is the life. You shall not eat the life with the meat.
Kun maa du ufravigeligt afholde dig fra at nyde Blodet; thi Blodet er Sjælen, og du maa ikke nyde Sjælen tillige med Kødet.
24 You shall not eat it. You shall pour it out on the earth like water.
Du maa ikke nyde det, men du skal lade det løbe ud paa Jorden som Vand.
25 You shall not eat it; that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, when you shall do that which is right in Adonai’s eyes.
Afhold dig fra at nyde det, for at det kan gaa dig og dine Børn efter dig vel, idet du gør, hvad der er ret i HERRENS Øjne.
26 Only your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take, and go to the place which Adonai shall choose.
Men dine hellige Gaver og Løfteofre skal du komme med til det Sted, HERREN udvælger;
27 You shall offer your burnt offerings, the meat and the blood, on Adonai your God’s altar; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on Adonai your God’s altar; and you shall eat the meat.
og du skal bringe dine Brændofre, baade Kødet og Blodet, paa HERREN din Guds Alter; og Blodet af dine Slagtofre skal udøses paa HERREN din Guds Alter, men Kødet maa du spise.
28 Observe and sh'ma ·hear obey· all these words which I enjoin you, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in Adonai your God’s eyes.
Adlyd omhyggeligt alle disse Bud, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig, for at det kan gaa 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 Adonai your God cuts off the nations from before you, where you go in to dispossess them, and you dispossess them, and dwell in their land;
Naar 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 be careful that you are not ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before you; and that you not inquire after their deities, saying, “How do these nations abad ·serve· their deities? I will do likewise.”
saa vogt dig for at lade dig lokke til at gaa i deres Fodspor, efter at de er udryddet foran dig, og for at spørge dig for angaaende deres Guder, idet du siger: »Hvorledes plejede disse Folkeslag at dyrke deres Guder? Saaledes vil ogsaa jeg bære mig ad.«
31 You shall not do so to Adonai your God; for every abomination to Adonai, which he hates, have they done to their deities; for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their deities.
Saaledes maa 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 Whatever thing I enjoin you, that you shall observe to do. You shall not add to it, nor take away from it.
Alt, hvad jeg paalægger eder, skal I omhyggeligt udføre. Du maa hverken lægge noget til eller trække noget fra.
