Deuteronomy 5
1 Moses/I summoned all the people of Israel and said to them, “You Israeli people, listen to all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today. Learn them and be sure to obey them.
Og Mose kaldte ad al Israel og sagde til dem: Hør, Israel, de Skikke og de Bud, som jeg taler for eders Øren i Dag, og lærer dem og bevarer dem for at gøre efter dem.
2 When we were at Sinai [Mountain], Yahweh our God made an agreement with us.
Herren vor Gud gjorde en Pagt med os paa Horeb.
3 But this agreement was not only for our ancestors. He made it also for us who are alive now.
Herren har ikke gjort denne Pagt med vore Fædre, men med os, ja med os alle sammen, som her ere i Live paa denne Dag.
4 Yahweh spoke with us face-to-face on that mountain, from the middle of the fire.
Herren talede med eder Ansigt til Ansigt paa Bjerget midt ud af Ilden.
5 On that day, I stood between your ancestors and Yahweh to tell them what he said, because they were afraid of the fire, and they did not climb up the mountain. This is what Yahweh said:
Jeg stod imellem Herren og eder paa den samme Tid, at give eder Herrens Ord til Kende; thi I frygtede for Ilden og gik ikke op paa Bjerget, og han sagde:
6 ‘I am Yahweh your God, the one you [worship]. I am the one who brought you out of the land of Egypt. I am the one who freed you from being slaves [there].
Jeg er Herren din Gud, som udførte dig af Ægyptens Land, af Trælles Hus.
7 [You must worship only] me; you must not worship any other god.
Du skal ikke have andre Guder for mig.
8 You must not carve/make for yourselves any idol that represents anything in the sky or anything that is on the ground or anything that swims in the water.
Du skal intet udskaaret Billede gøre dig eller nogen Lignelse efter det, som er i Himmelen oventil, eller det, som er paa Jorden nedentil, eller det, som er i Vandet, under Jorden.
9 You must not bow down to any idol and worship it, because I am Yahweh God, and I (am very jealous/want you to worship me only). I punish those who sin and hate me. I punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).
Du skal ikke tilbede dem, ej heller tjene dem; thi jeg Herren din Gud er en nidkær Gud, som hjemsøger Fædres Misgerning paa Børn, paa dem i tredje og paa dem i fjerde Led, paa dem, som hade mig;
10 But I will steadfastly love (thousands of generations/all the descendants) of those who love me and obey my commandments (OR, I will love for thousands of generations).
og som gør Miskundhed i tusinde Led mod dem, som elske mig, og mod dem, som holde mine Bud.
11 Do not use/speak my name carelessly (OR, for wrong/evil purposes), because I am Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship], and I will certainly punish those who use/speak my name for wrong/evil purposes [LIT].
Du skal ikke tage Herren din Guds Navn forfængeligen; thi Herren skal ikke lade den være uskyldig, som tager hans Navn forfængeligen.
12 Do not forget that the seventh day [of every week] is mine. Dedicate those days to me just like I, Yahweh your God, am commanding you.
Tag Vare paa Sabbatsdagen, at hellige den, som Herren din Gud har budet dig.
13 There are six days each week for you to do all your work,
Seks Dage skal du arbejde og gøre al din Gerning;
14 but the seventh day is a rest day, a day dedicated to me, Yahweh your God. On that day you must not do any work. You and your sons and daughters and your male and female slaves must not work. You must not even force your livestock to work, and you must not tell foreigners to work, those who are living in your country. You must allow your slaves to rest on that day just like you do.
men den syvende Dag er Sabbat for Herren din Gud, da skal du ingen Gerning gøre, hverken du eller din Søn eller din Datter eller din Svend eller din Pige eller din Okse eller dit Asen eller dit Dyr eller din fremmede, som er i dine Porte, paa det din Svend og din Pige maa hvile ligesom du.
15 Do not forget that you were slaves in Egypt, and that I, Yahweh your God, brought you out from there by my very great power. [DOU, MTY] That is the reason that I am commanding that [all of] you must rest on the seventh/Sabbath day [each week].
Og du skal komme i Hu, at du var en Træl i Ægyptens Land, og at Herren din Gud udførte dig derfra, med en stærk Haand og med en udrakt Arm; derfor har Herren din Gud budet dig at holde Sabbatsdagen.
16 Honor/Respect your fathers and your mothers, just like I, Yahweh your God, am commanding you, in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh your God, will give you, and in order that things will go well for you there.
Ær din Fader og din Moder, som Herren din Gud har budet dig, paa det dine Dage maa forlænges, og at det maa gaa dig vel i Landet, som Herren din Gud giver dig.
17 Do not murder anyone.
Du skal ikke ihjelslaa.
18 Do not (commit adultery/have sex with anyone other than your spouse).
Og du skal ikke bedrive Hor.
19 Do not steal anything.
Og du skal ikke stjæle.
20 Do not tell lies about anyone [when you are speaking in a court].
Og du skal ikke svare imod din Næste som et falsk Vidne.
21 Do not (covet/desire to have) someone else’s wife, someone else’s house, someone else’s fields, someone else’s male slave or female slave, someone else’s livestock, someone else’s donkeys, or anything else that another person owns.’
Og du skal ikke begære din Næstes Hustru; og du skal ikke begære din Næstes Hus, hans Ager eller hans Svend eller hans Pige, hans Okse eller hans Asen eller noget, som hører din Næste til.
22 Those are the commandments that Yahweh spoke to your ancestors. When they were gathered there at [the bottom of] the mountain, he spoke with a very loud voice from the middle of the fire, and there were dark clouds surrounding the mountain. He spoke only those [ten] commandments, no more. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets and gave them to me.
Disse Ord talede Herren til hele eders Forsamling paa Bjerget midt ud af Ilden, Skyen og forfærdeligt Mørke, med høj Røst og lagde intet til; og han skrev dem paa to Stentavler og gav mig dem.
23 After your ancestors heard [Yahweh’s] voice when he spoke to them out of the darkness, while there was a big fire burning on the mountain, their leaders and elders came to me,
Og det skete, der I havde hørt Røsten midt ud fra Mørket og fra Bjerget, som brændte med Ild, da kom I hen til mig, alle Øverster iblandt eders Stammer og eders Ældste,
24 and [one of] them said, ‘Listen to us! Yahweh our God showed us that he is very great and glorious when we heard him speak [MTY] from the fire. Today we have realized that it is possible for us humans to continue to live even though God has spoken to us.
og I sagde: Se, Herren vor Gud har ladet os se sin Herlighed og sin Storhed, og vi have hørt hans Røst midt ud af Ilden; vi have set paa denne Dag, at Gud taler med et Menneske, og det bliver ved Live.
25 But we are afraid that we will die [RHQ] if we hear Yahweh our God speak [MTY] to us again; his terrible fire will destroy/kill us.
Og nu, hvorfor skulle vi dø? thi denne store Ild vil fortære os; dersom vi blive ydermere ved at høre Herren vor Guds Røst, da dø vi.
26 (Who has/Certainly no human has) remained alive after hearing the all-powerful God speak [MTY] to them from a fire.
Thi hvo er der af alt Kød, der, som vi, har hørt den levende Guds Røst, som taler midt ud af Ilden, og dog bliver ved Live?
27 [So Moses], you go [up the mountain] and listen to everything that Yahweh our God will say. Then [come back and] tell us everything that he has said, and we will listen to what he has said and obey it.’
Gak du nær til, og hør alt det, som Herren vor Gud vil sige; og du skal tale til os alt det, som Herren vor Gud vil tale til dig, og vi ville høre og gøre det.
28 Yahweh heard your leaders say that, so [when I went back up the mountain], Yahweh said to me, ‘I have heard what your leaders have said, and what they have said is right/correct.
Og Herren hørte eders Ords Røst, det I talede til mig, og Herren sagde til mig: Jeg har hørt dette Folks Ords Røst, som de have talet til dig, de have talet vel i alt det, de have talet.
29 I surely wish that they would always think like that and revere me and obey all my commandments, in order that things may go well for them and for their descendants forever.
Gid de havde saadant et Hjerte til at frygte mig og til at holde alle mine Bud alle Dage, at det maatte gaa dem og deres Børn vel evindeligen!
30 So go [down] and tell them to return to their tents.
Gak hen, sig til dem: Gaar tilbage til eders Telte.
31 But [then] you [come back up here and] stand near me, and I will give to you all the rules and regulations that I [want them to obey]. Then you can teach them to the people, in order that they will obey them when they are in the land that I am giving to them.’
Og du, staa her hos mig, saa vil jeg sige dig alle Budene og Skikkene og Befalingerne, hvilke du skal lære dem, at de skulle gøre derefter i Landet, som jeg giver dem til at eje.
32 [So I went back down to the people, and I said to them], ‘Be sure that you do everything that Yahweh our God has commanded us to do. Do not disobey any of his laws.
Saa tager Vare paa at gøre, som Herren eders Gud har budet eder; I skulle ikke vige til højre eller venstre Side.
33 Conduct your lives as Yahweh our God has commanded us to do, in order that you may live a long time, and in order that things will go well for you [when you are living] in the land that you will occupy.’”
Paa al den Vej, som Herren eders Gud har budet eder, skulle I gaa, paa det I maa leve, og det maa gaa eder vel, og I maa forlænge eders Dage i det Land, som I skulle eje.
