Deuteronomy 6
1 “These are the commandments and rules and regulations that Yahweh our God commanded me to teach to you. He wants you to obey them in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
Og dette er det Bud, de Skikke og de Befalinger, som Herren eders Gud har budet at lære eder, for at I skulle gøre derefter i Landet, som I drage over til for at eje det;
2 He wants you to revere him, and he wants you and your descendants to always obey all these rules and regulations that I am giving to you, in order that you may live for a long time.
paa det du skal frygte Herren din Gud ved at holde alle hans Skikke og hans Bud, som jeg byder dig, du og din Søn og din Sønnesøn, alle dine Livsdage, og paa det at dine Dage maa forlænges.
3 So, you Israeli people, listen to them carefully and obey them. If you do that, things will go well with you, and you will become a nation with a very large population when you are living in that very fertile [IDM] land. That is what Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised [would happen].
Og, Israel! du skal høre og bevare dette og gøre derefter, at det maa gaa dig vel, og I maa blive saare mangfoldige, som Herren dine Fædres Gud har sagt dig, i et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning.
4 “You Israeli people, listen! Only Yahweh is our God.
Hør, Israel! Herren vor Gud, Herren er een.
5 You must love him with all your inner being and with all that you feel and with all that you do.
Og du skal elske Herren din Gud af dit ganske Hjerte og af din ganske Sjæl og af al din Formue.
6 Never forget [IDM] these commands that I am giving to you today.
Og disse Ord, som jeg byder dig i Dag, skulle være paa dit Hjerte.
7 Teach them to your children again and again. Talk about them [all the time]: When you are in your houses and when you are walking outside; talk about them when you are lying down and when you are doing things.
Og du skal indskærpe dine Børn dem og tale om dem, naar du sidder i dit Hus, og naar du gaar paa Vejen, og naar du lægger dig, og naar du staar op.
8 [Write them on tiny scrolls and] fasten them to your arms/wrists, and write them on bands that you fasten to your foreheads [to help you to remember them].
Og du skal binde dem til et Tegn paa din Haand, og de skulle være dig til Spand imellem dine Øjne.
9 Write them on the doorposts and on the gates of your houses.
Og du skal skrive dem paa Dørstolperne af dit Hus og paa dine Porte.
10 “Yahweh our God vowed to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that he will give you a land that already has in it large and prosperous cities that you did not build.
Og det skal ske, naar Herren din Gud fører dig ind i det Land, som han har tilsvoret dine Fædre, Abraham, Isak og Jakob, at ville give dig, store og gode Stæder, som du ikke har bygget,
11 He said that the houses in those cities will already be full of many good things that [others put there]; you did not put them there. There will be wells that others have dug. There will be vineyards and olive trees that others planted. So when Yahweh brings you into that land, and you have all that you want to eat,
og Huse, fulde af alt godt, hvilke du ikke har fyldt, og udhugne Brønde, som du ikke har udhugget, Vingaarde og Oliegaarde, som du ikke har plantet, og du æder og bliver mæt:
12 be sure that you do not forget Yahweh who rescued you from being slaves [in Egypt and gave all these things to you].
Saa tag dig i Vare, at du ikke forglemmer Herren, som udførte dig af Ægyptens Land, af Trælles Hus.
13 “You must revere Yahweh our God, and you must serve only him and say that he should [MTY] punish you if you do not do what you have promised.
Du skal frygte Herren din Gud og tjene ham, og ved hans Navn skal du sværge.
14 You must not worship any other gods, the gods that the people-groups who will live near you worship.
I skulle ikke gaa efter andre Guder, af de Folks Guder, som ere trindt omkring eder;
15 Yahweh our God, who lives among you, (will not accept/will punish) people who worship anyone or anything else. So if you worship any other god, Yahweh will be very angry with you, and he will get rid of you completely.
thi Herren din Gud er en nidkær Gud midt iblandt dig; at Herren din Guds Vrede ikke skal optændes imod dig, og han skal udslette dig fra Jordens Kreds.
16 Do not do sinful things to find out if you can do them without Yahweh our God punishing you, like your ancestors did at Massah.
I skulle ikke friste Herren eders Gud, saaledes som I fristede ham i Massa.
17 Be sure that you always obey all the laws, the commandments, the rules, and the regulations that he has given to you.
I skulle flitteligen holde Herren eders Guds Bud og hans Vidnesbyrd og hans Skikke, som han har budet dig.
18 Do what Yahweh says is right and good. If you do that, things will go well with you. You will be able to enter and occupy the good/fertile land that Yahweh vowed to give to our ancestors.
Og du skal gøre det, som er ret og godt for Herrens Øjne, for at det skal gaa dig vel, og du skal komme ind og eje det gode Land, hvilket Herren har tilsvoret dine Fædre,
19 He will do that by expelling your enemies from that land, just like he promised to do.
at han skal udstøde alle dine Fjender for dit Ansigt, som Herren har sagt.
20 “In the future, when your children ask you, ‘Why did Yahweh our God command us to obey all these rules and regulations?’
Naar din Søn spørger dig herefter og siger: Hvad er det for Vidnesbyrd og Skikke og Befalinger, som Herren vor Gud har budet eder?
21 tell them, ‘Our ancestors were slaves of the king in Egypt, but Yahweh brought them out of Egypt by his great power [MTY].
da skal du sige til din Søn: Vi vare Faraos Trælle i Ægypten, og Herren udførte os af Ægypten med en stærk Haand,
22 They saw him do many kinds of miracles [DOU] and do terrifying things to the people of Egypt and to the king and his officials.
og Herren gjorde Tegn og store og fordærvelige Vidundere i Ægypten paa Farao og paa alt hans Hus for vore Øjne,
23 He rescued our ancestors from Egypt and brought them here to give them this land, just like he vowed that he would do.
og han udførte os derfra, paa det han vilde føre os ind for at give os det Land, som han havde tilsvoret vore Fædre.
24 And he commanded us to obey all these laws and to revere him, for our own good and in order that he would protect our nation and enable us to prosper, as he is doing now.
Og Herren havde budet os at gøre alle disse Skikke, at frygte Herren vor Gud, at det maa gaa os vel alle Dage, og at han maa holde os ved Live, som det ses paa denne Dag.
25 Yahweh our God will (approve of us/consider us to be righteous) if we carefully obey everything that he has commanded us to do.’”
Og det skal være vor Retfærdighed, naar vi tage Vare paa at gøre efter alle disse Bud for Herren vor Guds Ansigt, som han har budet os.
