< 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.
Moses kaldte hele Israel sammen og sagde til dem: Hør, Israel, de Anordninger og Lovbud, som jeg kundgør eder i Dag! Lær dem og hold dem omhyggeligt.
2 When we were at Sinai [Mountain], Yahweh our God made an agreement with us.
HERREN vor Gud sluttede en Pagt med os ved Horeb.
3 But this agreement was not only for our ancestors. He made it also for us who are alive now.
Det var ikke med vore Fædre, HERREN sluttede den Pagt, men med os, vi, der i Dag er her til Stede, alle vi, der er i Live.
4 Yahweh spoke with us face-to-face on that mountain, from the middle of the fire.
Ansigt til Ansigt talede HERREN med eder på Bjerget ud fra 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 dengang som Mellemmand mellem HERREN og eder og kundgjorde eder HERRENs Ord; thi I var bange for Ilden og turde ikke stige op på Bjerget.
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].
Han sagde: Jeg er HERREN din Gud, som førte dig ud af Ægypten, af Trællehuset.
7 [You must worship only] me; you must not worship any other god.
Du må ikke have andre Guder end 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 må ikke gøre dig noget udskåret Billede eller noget Afbillede af det, som er oppe i Himmelen eller nede på Jorden eller 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 må ikke tilbede eller dyrke det, thi jeg HERREN din Gud er en nidkær Gud, der indtil tredje og fjerde Led straffer Fædres Brøde på Børn af dem, som hader 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).
men i tusind Led viser Miskundhed mod dem, der elsker mig og holder 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 må ikke misbruge HERREN din Guds Navn, thi HERREN lader ikke den ustraffet, der misbruger hans Navn!
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 på Hviledagen, så du holder den hellig, således som HERREN din Gud har pålagt dig!
13 There are six days each week for you to do all your work,
I 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 skal være Hviledag for HERREN din Gud; da må du intet Arbejde udføre, hverken du selv, din Søn eller Datter, din Træl eller Trælkvinde, din Okse eller dit Æsel eller noget af dit Kvæg eller den fremmede inden dine Porte, for at din Træl og Trælkvinde kan hvile ud ligesom du selv.
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].
Kom i Hu, at du selv var Træl i Ægypten, og at HERREN din Gud førte dig ud derfra med stærk Hånd og udstrakt Arm; det er derfor, HERREN din Gud har pålagt dig at fejre Hviledagen!
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, således som HERREN din Gud har pålagt dig, for at du kan få et langt Liv, og det må gå dig vel i det Land, HERREN din Gud vil give dig.
18 Do not (commit adultery/have sex with anyone other than your spouse).
Du må ikke bedrive Hor!
19 Do not steal anything.
Du må ikke stjæle!
20 Do not tell lies about anyone [when you are speaking in a court].
Du må ikke sige falsk Vidnesbyrd imod din Næste!
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.’
Du må ikke begære din Næstes Hustru. Du må ikke attrå din Næstes Hus, hans Mark, hans Træl eller Trælkvinde, hans Okse eller Æsel eller noget, der 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 på Bjerget ud fra Ilden, Skyen og Mulmet med vældig Røst uden at føje noget til; og han skrev dem op på 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,
Men da I hørte Røsten, der lød ud fra Mørket, medens Bjerget stod i lys Lue, kom I, alle Overhovederne for eders Stammer og eders Ældste, hen til mig
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 sagde: "Se, HERREN vor Gud har ladet os skue sin Herlighed og Storhed, og hans Røst har vi hørt ud fra Ilden; i Dag har vi oplevet, at Gud kan tale med Mennesker, uden at de dør.
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.
Men hvorfor skal vi dø? Thi denne vældige Ild vil fortære os; hvis vi skal blive ved at høre på HERREN vor Guds Røst, må vi dø!
26 (Who has/Certainly no human has) remained alive after hearing the all-powerful God speak [MTY] to them from a fire.
Thi hvilken dødelig har nogen Sinde som vi hørt den levende Guds Røst ud fra Ilden og levet?
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.’
Træd du hen og hør alt, hvad HERREN vor Gud siger; siden skal du så sige os alt, hvad HERREN vor Gud taler til dig, og vi skal høre det og gøre derefter."
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 da HERREN hørte, hvorledes I talte til mig, sagde han til mig: "Jeg har hørt, hvad dette Folk siger til dig, og alt, hvad de har sagt til dig, er ret;
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 alle Dage må have et sådant Hjerte, at de frygter mig og holder alle mine Bud, for at det må gå dem og deres Børn vel evindelig.
30 So go [down] and tell them to return to their tents.
Gå derfor hen og byd dem at vende tilbage til deres 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.’
men bliv du stående her hos mig, så skal jeg kundgøre dig alle Budene, Anordningerne og Lovbudene, som du skal lære dem, og som de skal holde i det Land, jeg vil give dem i 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.
Gør derfor omhyggeligt således, som HERREN eders Gud har pålagt eder, uden at vige til højre eller venstre;
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.’”
følg altid den Vej, som HERREN eders Gud har pålagt eder at gå, at I kan blive i Live og få det godt og leve længe i det Land, I skal tage i Besiddelse!
