Deuteronomy 12
1 “(I will now tell you again/These, [again], are) the rules and regulations that you must faithfully obey in the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to you to occupy. You must obey these laws all the time that you are alive.
Desse äro de bud och rätter, som I hålla skolen, så att I gören derefter uti landena, som Herren dina fäders Gud dig gifvit hafver till att intaga, så länge I på jordene lefven.
2 You must destroy all the places where the people-groups that you will expel worship their gods, on the tops of mountains and hills and under big green trees.
Förgörer all de rum, der Hedningarna, som I intagen, sina gudar tjent hafva, vare sig på hög berg, på backar, eller under grön trä;
3 You must tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars. Completely burn the statues of their goddess Asherah in fires, and chop down their wooden idols, in order that no one will ever worship them [MTY] in those places again.
Och bryter neder deras altare, och slår sönder deras stodar; och deras lundar uppbränner med eld, och deras afgudabeläte kaster bort, och tager bort deras namn utu det rummet.
4 “Do not worship Yahweh like [the people in Canaan worship their gods].
I skolen icke så göra Herranom edrom Gud;
5 Instead, you must go to the place that Yahweh will choose. It will be in the area where one of your tribes will live. That is where you must go to worship Yahweh.
Utan på det rum, som Herren edar Gud utväljer af allom edrom slägtom, att han vill låta sitt Namn der bo, der skolen I fråga, och dit komma;
6 That is the place where you must bring your sacrifices that will be completely burned on the altar, and your other sacrifices, (your tithes/ten percent of all of your crops), other offerings that you decide to give, and the firstborn animals from your cattle and sheep.
Och göra edart bränneoffer, och edor annor offer, och edor tiond, och edra händers häfoffer, och edor löfte, och edor friviljoga offer, och förstfödningena af edart fä och får.
7 There, in the presence of Yahweh our God, who has [greatly] blessed you, you and your families will eat the good things that you have worked to produce, and you will be happy.
Och der skolen I äta för Herranom edrom Gud, och vara glade öfver allt det I och edor hus förvärfven, der Herren din Gud dig uti välsignat hafver.
8 “[When you are in that land], you must not do some of the things that we have been doing. Until now, you have all been worshiping [Yahweh] the way you wanted to,
I skolen intet göra af det vi i dag här görom, hvar och en som honom tycker rätt vara;
9 because you have not yet arrived in the land which Yahweh is giving to you, where you will be able to live peacefully.
Ty I ären ännu härtilldags icke komne till ro, eller till arfvedelen, som Herren din Gud dig gifva skall;
10 But when you cross the Jordan [River], you will start to live in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you. He will protect you from all your enemies that will surround you, and you will live peacefully/safely.
Men I måsten gå öfver Jordan, och bo i de landena, som Herren edar Gud eder till arfs utskiftandes varder; och han skall låta eder få ro för alla edra fiendar omkring eder, och I skolen bo trygge.
11 “Yahweh will choose one place where he wants you to worship him. That is the place to which you must bring all the offerings that I command you to bring: The sacrifices that must be completely burned [on the altar], your other sacrifices, other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, (your tithes/ten percent of all your crops), and all the special offerings that you will solemnly promise to give to Yahweh.
När nu Herren din Gud utväljer ett rum, att hans Namn der bo skall, dit skolen I bära allt det jag bjuder eder: edart bränneoffer, edor annor offer, edor tiond, edra händers häfoffer, och all edor fri löfte, som I Herranom lofven;
12 Rejoice there in the presence of Yahweh, along with your children, your male and female servants, and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns. Do not forget that the descendants of Levi will not have their own land, like you will have.
Och skolen vara glade för Herranom edrom Gud, I och edre söner, och edra döttrar, och edre tjenare, och edra tjenarinnor, och Leviterna, som i edra portar äro; förty de hafva ingen lott eller arfvedel med eder.
13 Be sure that you do not offer sacrifices anywhere you want to.
Tag dig vara, att du icke offrar ditt bränneoffer i all de rum som du ser;
14 You must offer them only in the place that Yahweh will choose for you, in an area that belongs to one of your tribes. That is the only place where he wants you to offer sacrifices that will be completely burned [on the altar], and to do the other things that I am commanding you to do [when you worship him].
Utan i det rum, som Herren utväljer, uti någro af dina slägter, der skall du offra ditt bränneoffer, och göra allt det jag bjuder dig.
15 “However, you will be permitted to kill and eat the meat of your animals in the places where you live. As often as you want to, you may eat the meat of the animals that Yahweh our God will bless you by giving them to you. Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God and those who have not done things like that may all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
Dock må du slagta, och äta kött i alla dina portar, efter all dine själs begärelse, efter Herrans dins Guds välsignelse, som han dig gifvit hafver; både rene och orene måga det äta, såsom en rå eller en hjort.
16 But you must not eat the blood [of any animals]; you must let the blood drain onto the ground [before you cook the meat].
Men blodet skall du icke äta; utan gjuta det på jordena såsom vatten.
17 In the places where you live, you must not eat the things that you are offering [to Yahweh]: You must not eat the (tithes/ten percent) of your grain or of your wine, or of your [olive] oil, or the firstborn of your cattle and sheep, or the offerings that you yourselves decide to give to Yahweh, or any other offerings.
Men icke må du äta i dina portar utaf tionden af din säd, dino vine, dine oljo, ej heller af den förstfödning af dino fä, af din får, eller af något ditt löfte, som du lofvat hafver, eller af ditt friviljoge offer, eller af dine hands häfoffer;
18 Instead, you and your children and your male and female servants and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns must go to the place that he has chosen and eat those things there in the presence of Yahweh. And you should rejoice in the presence of Yahweh about everything that you do.
Utan för Herranom dinom Gud skall du sådant äta på de rumme, som Herren din Gud utväljer, du och dine söner, dina döttrar, dine tjenare, dina tjenarinnor, och Leviten, som i dina portar är; och skall vara glad för Herranom dinom Gud, öfver allt det du dig företager.
19 Be sure that you take care of the descendants of Levi all during the time that you live in your land.
Och tag dig vara, att du icke öfvergifver Leviten, så länge du lefver på jordene.
20 “When Yahweh our God gives you much more land [than you will have when you first occupy it], which is what he has promised to do, and you say ‘I would like some meat to eat’ because you are craving/wanting some meat, you will be permitted to eat meat whenever you want to.
När nu Herren din Gud varder förvidgandes dina landsändar, såsom han dig sagt hafver, och du säger: Jag vill äta kött; efter din själ lyster äta kött, så ät kött efter alla dine själs begärelse.
21 If the place that Yahweh our God chooses to be the place for you to worship him is far [from where you live], you are permitted to kill some of your cattle or sheep that Yahweh has given to you, and you may eat that meat at the places where you live, just like I have told you to do.
Är rummet långt ifrå dig, som Herren din Gud utvalt hafver, att han der vill låta bo sitt Namn, så slagta af ditt fä eller får, som Herren dig gifvit hafver, såsom jag dig budit hafver, och ät det i dinom portom, efter all dine själs begärelse.
22 Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God, and those who have not done things like that, are all permitted to all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
Såsom man äter en rå eller en hjort, må du ätat; både rene och orene måga lika väl ätat.
23 But be sure that you do not eat the blood [of any animal], because it is the blood that sustains life in living beings, and so you must not eat the life along with the meat.
Allenast vakta, att du icke äter blodet; ty blodet är själen, derföre skall du icke äta själena med köttet;
24 Do not eat the blood; instead, let it drain onto the ground.
Utan skall gjuta det på jordena såsom vatten;
25 If you obey this command and do what Yahweh says is right [for you to do], things will go well for you and for your descendants.
Och skall fördenskull icke ätat, att dig må väl gå, och dinom barnom efter dig, deraf att du gjort hafver det som rätt är för Herranom.
26 “But the sacred offerings that Yahweh has told you to give and the other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, you must take to the place that Yahweh will choose.
Men när du helgar något det ditt är, eller lofvar, så skall du tagat, och bära till det rum, som Herren utvalt hafver;
27 You must offer there the sacrifices that will be completely burned [on Yahweh’s altar]. You must also offer there the sacrifices from which you may eat some of meat after you [kill the animals and] drain out the blood and some of it is thrown on the [sides of the] altar.
Och göra ditt bränneoffer, med kött och blod, på Herrans dins Guds altare; blodet af ditt offer skall du gjuta på Herrans dins Guds altare, och äta köttet.
28 Faithfully obey all these things that I have commanded you. If you do that, things will go well forever for you and your descendants, because you will be doing what Yahweh our God says is right [for you to do] and what pleases him.
Se till, och hör alla dessa orden, som jag bjuder dig; på det dig må väl gå, och dinom barnom efter dig till evig tid, deraf att du gjort hafver det rätt är, och Herranom dinom Gud behageligit.
29 “When you enter the land that you will occupy, as you advance, Yahweh our God will get rid of the people-groups that live there.
När Herren din Gud utrotar Hedningarna för dig, der du inkommer till att intaga dem, och du dem intagit hafver, och bor i deras land;
30 After he does that, be sure that you do not [worship the gods] that they have been worshiping, because if you do that, you will be caught in the same trap [that they were caught in] [MET]. Do not ask anyone about those gods, saying, ‘Tell me how they worshiped their gods, in order that I can [worship them] also.’
Så tag dig vara, att du icke faller i snarona efter dem, sedan de fördrefne äro för dig; och att du intet söker efter deras gudar, och säger: Såsom detta folk hafver tjent deras gudar, så vill jag ock göra.
31 Do not try to worship Yahweh our God like they have worshiped their gods, because when they worship them, they do disgusting things, things that Yahweh hates. [The worst thing that they do is] that they sacrifice their own children and burn them [on their altars].
Du skall icke således göra Herranom dinom Gud; förty de hafva gjort sinom gudom allt det Herranom stygges vid, och det han hatar; ty de hafva ock uppbränt i elde sina söner och döttrar till sina gudar.
32 “Be sure to do everything that I have commanded you to do. Do not add anything to these commands, and do not take anything away from them.”
Allt det jag bjuder eder, det skolen I hålla, så att I gören derefter. I skolen intet lägga dertill, och intet taga derifrå.
