< Deuteronomy 4 >
1 And now O Israel listen to the statutes and to the judgments which I [am] about to teach you to observe so that you may live and you will go and you will take possession of the land which Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your [is] about to give to you.
Og nu, Israel! hør paa de Skikke og de Bud, som jeg lærer eder at holde, paa det I maa leve og komme ind og eje Landet, som Herren eders Fædres Gud vil give eder.
2 Not you must add to the word which I [am] about to command you and not you must diminish from it to keep [the] commandments of Yahweh God your which I [am] about to command you.
I skulle intet lægge til det Ord, som jeg byder eder, og intet tage derfra, at I maa bevare Herren eders Guds Bud, som jeg har budet eder.
3 Own eyes your [are] the [ones which] saw [that] which he did Yahweh at Baal Peor for every person who he walked after Baal Peor he destroyed him Yahweh God your from midst your.
Eders Øjne have set, hvad Herren har gjort for Baal-Peors Skyld; thi hver Mand, som gik efter Baal-Peor, ham har Herren din Gud udslettet af din Midte.
4 And you who were clinging on Yahweh God your [are] alive all of you this day.
Men I, som hængte hardt ved Herren eders Gud, I leve alle paa denne Dag.
5 See - I have taught you statutes and judgments just as he commanded me Yahweh God my to do thus in [the] midst of the land where you [are] about to go there towards to take possession of it.
Se, jeg har lært eder Skikke og Bud, eftersom Herren min Gud befalede mig, at I skulle gøre saaledes midt i Landet, hvorhen I skulle komme for at eje det.
6 And you will take care and you will observe [them] for that [will be] wisdom your and understanding your to [the] eyes of the peoples which they will hear! all the statutes these and they will say certainly [is] a people wise and understanding the nation great this.
Saa holder dem og gører efter dem; thi det skal være eders Visdom og eders Forstand for Folkenes Øjne, som skulle høre om alle disse Skikke, og de skulle sige: Alene dette store Folk er et viist og forstandigt Folk.
7 For who? [is] a nation great which [belongs] to it a god near to it like Yahweh God our in all calling we to him.
Thi hvor er saa stort et Folk, til hvilket Guder holde sig nær, saaledes som Herren vor Gud til os, saa tidt vi kalde paa ham?
8 And who? [is] a nation great which [belongs] to it statutes and judgments righteous like all the law this which I [am] setting before you this day.
Og hvor er saa stort et Folk, som har saa retfærdige Skikke og Bud, som hele denne Lov er, hvilken jeg i Dag lægger for eders Ansigt?
9 Only take heed to yourself and guard self your exceedingly lest you should forget the things which they have seen eyes your and lest they should depart from heart your all [the] days of life your and you will make known them to children your and to [the] children of children your.
Ikkun tag dig i Vare og bevar din Sjæl vel, at du ikke forglemmer de Ting, som dine Øjne have set, og at de ikke vige fra dit Hjerte alle dine Livsdage; men du skal kundgøre dem for dine Børn og for dine Børnebørn:
10 [the] day When you stood before Yahweh God your at Horeb when said Yahweh to me assemble to me the people so I may make hear them words my that they will learn! to fear me all the days which they [will be] alive on the land and children their they will teach!
Den Dag, da du stod for Herren din Guds Ansigt ved Horeb, der Herren sagde til mig: Saml til mig Folket, saa vil jeg lade dem høre mine Ord, som de skulle lære, for at frygte mig alle de Dage, som de leve paa Jorden, og de skulle lære deres Børn dem.
11 And you drew near! and you stood! under the mountain and the mountain [was] burning with fire to [the] heart of the heavens darkness cloud and thick darkness.
Og I kom nær til og stode neden for Bjerget, og Bjerget brændte med Ild indtil midt op i Himmelen, der var Mørke, Sky, ja forfærdeligt Mørke.
12 And he spoke Yahweh to you from [the] middle of the fire a sound of words you [were] hearing and a form not you [were] seeing except a voice.
Og Herren talede til eder midt ud af Ilden; I hørte Ordets Røst, men I saa ingen Skikkelse foruden Røsten.
13 And he declared to you covenant his which he commanded you to observe [the] ten the words and he inscribed them on two tablets of stone.
Og han forkyndte eder sin Pagt, hvilken han bød eder at holde, de ti Ord; og han skrev dem paa to Stentavler.
14 And me he commanded Yahweh at the time that to teach you statutes and judgments to observe you them in the land where you [are] about to pass over there towards to take possession of it.
Og Herren bød mig paa den samme Tid at lære eder Skikke og Bud, at I skulle gøre derefter i det Land, som I drage over til for at eje det.
15 And you will take heed exceedingly to selves your for not you saw any form on [the] day [when] he spoke Yahweh to you at Horeb from [the] middle of the fire.
Saa bevarer eders Sjæle vel, fordi I saa slet ingen Skikkelse paa den Dag, der Herren talede til eder paa Horeb midt ud af Ilden,
16 Lest you should act corruptly! and you will make for yourselves an image of a form of any figure a likeness of a male or a female.
at I ikke skulle handle fordærveligt og gøre eder et udskaaret Billede, en Skikkelse af noget Billede, en Lignelse af Mand eller Kvinde,
17 A likeness of any animal which [is] on the earth a likeness of any bird of wing which it flies in the heavens.
en Lignelse af noget Dyr, som er paa Jorden, en Lignelse af nogen vinget Fugl, som flyver under Himmelen,
18 A likeness of any creeping [thing] on the ground a likeness of any fish which [is] in the waters from under to the earth.
en Lignelse af noget krybende Dyr paa Jorden, en Lignelse af nogen Fisk, som er i Vandet under Jorden;
19 And lest you should lift up eyes your the heavens towards and you will see the sun and the moon and the stars all [the] host of the heavens and you will be drawn aside and you will bow down to them and you will serve them which he has assigned Yahweh God your them to all the peoples under all the heavens.
og at du ikke skal opløfte dine Øjne til Himmelen og se Solen og Maanen og Stjernerne, den ganske Himmelens Hær, og tilskyndes til at tilbede dem og tjene dem, hvilke Herren din Gud har uddelt til alle Folkene under den ganske Himmel.
20 And you he took Yahweh and he brought out you from [the] furnace of iron from Egypt to become for him a people of inheritance as the day this.
Men eder tog Herren og udførte eder af Jernovnen, af Ægypten, for at være hans Arvs Folk, som man ser paa denne Dag.
21 And Yahweh he was angry with me on words your and he swore to not to pass over I the Jordan and to not to go into the land good which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you an inheritance.
Og Herren blev vred paa mig for eders Handelers Skyld og svor, at jeg ikke skulde gaa over Jordanen, ej heller komme ind i det gode Land, som Herren din Gud giver dig til Arv.
22 For I [am] about to die in the land this not I [am] about to pass over the Jordan and you [are] about to pass over and you will take possession of the land good this.
Thi jeg dør i dette Land, jeg gaar ikke over Jordanen; men I skulle gaa over den og eje dette gode Land.
23 Take heed to yourselves lest you should forget [the] covenant of Yahweh God your which he has made with you and you will make for yourselves an image a form of anything which he commanded you Yahweh God your.
Tager eder i Vare, at I ikke forglemme Herren eders Guds Pagt, som han har gjort med eder, saa at I gøre eder et udskaaret Billede, en Skikkelse af nogen som helst Ting, hvad Herren din Gud har forbudet dig.
24 For Yahweh God your [is] a fire consuming he a God jealous.
Thi Herren din Gud, han er en fortærende Ild, en nidkær Gud.
25 For you will father children and children of children and you will grow old in the land and you will act corruptly and you will make an image of a form of anything and you will do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh God your to provoke to anger him.
Naar du avler Børn og Børnebørn, og I blive gamle i Landet, og I handle fordærveligt og gøre et udskaaret Billede, en Skikkelse af nogen som helst Ting, og I gøre det onde for Herren eders Guds Øjne til at opirre ham:
26 I call as witnesses against you this day the heavens and the earth that certainly you will perish! quickly from on the land where you [are] about to pass over the Jordan there towards to take possession of it not you will prolong! days on it for utterly you will be destroyed!
Da tager jeg i Dag Himmelen og Jorden til Vidne imod eder, at I snart skulle udryddes af det Land, til hvilket I nu drage hen over Jordanen for at eje det; I skulle ikke forlænge eders Dage i det, thi I skulle blive aldeles ødelagte.
27 And he will scatter Yahweh you among the peoples and you will be left men of number among the nations where he will drive away Yahweh you there towards.
Og Herren skal adsprede eder iblandt Folkene, saa at I skulle blive som en liden Hob tilovers iblandt Hedningerne, hvor Herren skal føre eder hen.
28 And you will serve there gods [the] work of [the] hands of a human wood and stone which not they see! and not they hear! and not they eat! and not they smell!
Og der skulle I tjene Guder, et Menneskes Hænders Gerning, Træ og Sten, som hverken kunne se eller høre eller æde eller lugte.
29 And you will seek from there Yahweh God your and you will find [him] for you will seek him with all heart your and with all being your.
Og I skulle derfra søge Herren din Gud, og du skal finde ham, naar du leder efter ham af dit ganske Hjerte og af din ganske Sjæl.
30 When it is distress to you and they will come upon you all the things these at [the] end of the days and you will return to Yahweh God your and you will listen to voice his.
Naar du faar Angst, og alle disse Ting ramme dig i de sidste Dage, da skal du omvende dig til Herren din Gud og høre paa hans Røst.
31 For [is] a God compassionate Yahweh God your not he will abandon you and not he will destroy you and not he will forget [the] covenant of ancestors your which he swore to them.
Thi Herren din Gud er en barmhjertig Gud, han skal ikke opgive dig eller ødelægge dig; han skal ikke heller glemme den Pagt med dine Fædre, som han svor dem.
32 That ask please to days former which they were before you from the day when he created God - humankind on the earth and to from [the] end of the heavens and to [the] end of the heavens ¿ has it happened like the thing great this or ¿ has it been heard like it.
Thi spørg, kære, om de forrige Dage, som have været før dig, fra den Dag Gud skabte Menneskene paa Jorden, og fra Himmelens ene Ende og indtil Himmelens anden Ende, om der er sket noget som denne store Ting, eller om der er hørt noget som dette?
33 ¿ Has it heard a people [the] voice of a god speaking from [the] middle of the fire just as you have heard you and has it lived?
Om et Folk har hørt Guds Røst talende midt ud af Ilden, saaledes som du har hørt, og er blevet ved Live?
34 Or - ¿ has it attempted a god to come to take for itself a nation from [the] midst of a nation by trials by signs and by wonders and by battle and by a hand strong and by an arm outstretched and by terrors great like all that he did for you Yahweh God your in Egypt to eyes your.
Eller om Gud har forsøgt at komme for at tage sig et Folk midt ud af Folket, ved Forsøgelser, ved Tegn og ved underlige Gerninger og ved Krig og ved en stærk Haand og ved en udrakt Arm og ved store forfærdelige Gerninger, efter alt det som Herren eders Gud har gjort ved eder i Ægypten for dine Øjne?
35 You you were shown to know that Yahweh he [is] God there not [is] still more from to alone him.
Dig er det blevet vist, for at du skal vide, at Herren han er Gud, ingen uden han alene.
36 From the heavens he caused to hear you voice his to discipline you and on the earth he showed you fire his great and words his you heard from [the] middle of the fire.
Af Himmelen har han ladet dig høre sin Røst for at undervise dig, og paa Jorden har han ladet dig se sin store Ild, og du har hørt hans Ord midt ud af Ilden.
37 And because that he loved ancestors your and he chose offspring his after him and he brought out you by own presence his by power his great from Egypt.
Og fordi han elskede dine Fædre, da udvalgte han deres Sæd efter dem, og han udførte dig af Ægypten ved sit Ansigt, ved sin store Kraft,
38 To dispossess nations great and mighty more than you from before you to bring in you to give to you land their an inheritance as the day this.
for at uddrive for dit Ansigt større og stærkere Folk, end du er, for at føre dig ind og give dig deres Land til Arv, som det ses paa denne Dag.
39 And you will know this day and you will bring back to heart your that Yahweh he [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath there not [is] still more.
Saa skal du vide i Dag og tage dig det til Hjerte, at Herren er Gud i Himmelen oventil og paa Jorden nedentil, der er ingen ydermere.
40 And you will keep statutes his and commandments his which I [am] commanding you this day that it will go well for you and for children your after you and so that you may prolong days on (the land *L(abh)*) which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you all the days.
Og du skal holde hans Skikke og hans Bud, som jeg byder dig i Dag, at det skal gaa dig vel og dine Børn efter dig, og at du maa forlænge Dagene i det Land, som Herren din Gud giver dig alle Dage.
41 Then he set apart Moses three cities on [the] other side of the Jordan [the] rising of towards [the] sun.
Da fraskilte Mose tre Stæder paa denne Side Jordanen, imod Solens Opgang,
42 To flee there towards a killer who he will kill neighbor his with no knowledge and he not [was] hating him from yesterday [the] third day and he will flee to one of the cities these and he will live.
for at en Manddraber, som slaar sin Næste ihjel af Vanvare og uden at han hadede ham tilforn, kunde fly derhen; og at han kunde fly til en af disse Stæder og blive ved Live:
43 Bezer in the wilderness in [the] land of the plain for the Reubenite[s] and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadite[s] and Golan in Bashan for the Manassite[s].
Nemlig Bezer i Ørken, paa det jævne Land, hos Rubeniterne og Ramoth i Gilead hos Gaditerne og Golan i Basan hos Manassiterne.
44 And this [is] the law which he set Moses before [the] people of Israel.
Og dette er Loven, som Mose satte for Israels Børns Ansigt,
45 These [are] the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments which he spoke Moses to [the] people of Israel when came out they from Egypt.
disse ere Vidnesbyrdene og Skikkene og Budene, som Mose forkyndte Israels Børn, der de vare udgangne af Ægypten,
46 On [the] other side of the Jordan in the valley opposite to Beth Peor in [the] land of Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] who [was] dwelling in Heshbon whom he struck down Moses and [the] people of Israel when came out they from Egypt.
paa denne Side Jordanen, i Dalen over for Beth-Peor, i den amoritiske Konge Sihons Land, han, som boede i Hesbon, hvem Mose og Israels Børn sloge, der de vare udgangne af Ægypten.
47 And they took possession of land his and [the] land of - Og [the] king of Bashan [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] who [was] on [the] other side of the Jordan [the] rising of [the] sun.
Og de toge hans Land og Ogs, Kongen af Basans, Land til Eje, de to amoritiske Kongers, som vare paa denne Side Jordanen, mod Solens Opgang,
48 From Aroer which [is] on [the] edge of [the] wadi of Arnon and to [the] mountain of Siyon that [is] Hermon.
fra Arder, som ligger ved Bækken Arnons Bred, og indtil Sions Bjerg, det er Hermon,
49 And all the Arabah [the] other side of the Jordan east-wards and to [the] sea of the Arabah under [the] slopes of Pisgah.
og hele den slette Mark paa denne Side Jordanen mod Østen, og indtil Havet ved den slette Mark neden for Foden af Pisga.
