Deuteronomy 6
1 Now these are the commandments, statutes, and decrees that Yahweh your God has commanded me to teach you, so that you might keep them in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess;
Dette er Budet, Anordningerne og Lovbudene, som HERREN eders Gud har paabudt at lære eder at handle efter i det Land, I skal over og tage i Besiddelse,
2 so that you might honor Yahweh your God, so as to keep all his statutes and commandments that I am commanding you—you, your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your lives, so that your days may be prolonged.
for at du alle dine Levedage maa frygte HERREN din Gud og holde alle hans Anordninger og Bud, som jeg giver dig, du selv, din Søn og din Sønnesøn, og faa et langt Liv.
3 Therefore listen to them, Israel, and keep them, so that it may go well with you, so that you may greatly multiply, in a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you would do.
Hør derfor, Israel, og gør omhyggeligt efter dem, for at det kan gaa dig vel, og for at I maa blive overvættes talrige, saaledes som HERREN, dine Fædres Gud, har forjættet dig, i et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning.
4 Listen, Israel: Yahweh our God is one.
Hør, Israel! HERREN vor Gud, HERREN er een.
5 You will love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.
Og du skal elske HERREN din Gud af hele dit Hjerte, af hele din Sjæl og af hele din Styrke.
6 The words that I am commanding you today will be in your heart;
Disse Bud, som jeg paalægger dig i Dag, skal du tage dig til Hjerte;
7 and you will diligently teach them to your children; you will talk about them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up.
og du skal indprente dine Børn dem og tale om dem, baade naar du sidder i dit Hus, og naar du vandrer paa Vejen, baade naar du lægger dig, og naar du staar op;
8 You will tie them as a sign upon your hand, and they will serve as frontlets between your eyes.
du skal binde dem som et Tegn om din Haand, de skal være som et Erindringsmærke paa din Pande,
9 You will write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
og du skal skrive dem paa Dørstolperne af dit Hus og paa dine Porte.
10 When Yahweh your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, that he would give you, with large and very good cities that you did not build,
Og naar HERREN din Gud fører dig ind i det Land, han tilsvor dine Fædre Abraham, Isak og Jakob at ville give dig, store og smukke Byer, som du ikke har bygget,
11 and houses full of all kinds of good things that you did not make, cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant, you will eat and be satisfied—
Huse, der er fulde af alt godt, som du ikke har samlet, udhuggede Cisterner, som du ikke har udhugget, Vingaarde og Olivenhaver, som du ikke har plantet, og du spiser dig mæt,
12 then be careful so that you do not forget Yahweh, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
vogt dig da for at glemme HERREN, som førte dig ud af Ægypten, af Trællehuset;
13 You will honor Yahweh your God; him you will worship, and you will swear by his name.
HERREN din Gud skal du frygte, ham skal du dyrke, og ved hans Navn skal du sværge!
14 You will not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are all around you—
I maa ikke holde eder til andre Guder, til nogen af de omboende Folks Guder,
15 for Yahweh your God in the midst of you is a jealous God—if you do, the anger of Yahweh your God will be kindled against you and he will destroy you from the surface of the earth.
thi HERREN din Gud er en nidkær Gud i din Midte; ellers vil HERREN din Guds Vrede blusse op imod dig, saa han udrydder dig af Jorden.
16 You will not test Yahweh your God as you tested him at Massah.
I maa ikke friste HERREN eders Gud, som I gjorde ved Massa.
17 You will diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, his solemn commands, and his statutes, that he has commanded you.
I skal omhyggeligt holde HERREN eders Guds Bud, Vidnesbyrd og Anordninger, som han har paalagt dig;
18 You will do what is right and good in the sight of Yahweh, that it may go well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land that Yahweh swore to your fathers,
og du skal gøre, hvad der er ret og godt i HERRENS Øjne, for at det maa gaa dig vel, og du maa komme ind og faa det herlige Land i Eje, som HERREN tilsvor dine Fædre,
19 to drive out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has said.
idet han jager alle dine Fjender bort foran dig, som HERREN har sagt!
20 When your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What are the covenant decrees, the statutes, and the other decrees that Yahweh our God commanded you?'
Naar din Søn i Fremtiden spørger dig: »Hvorledes har det sig med de Vidnesbyrd, Anordninger og Lovbud, som HERREN vor Gud gav eder?«
21 then you will say to your son, 'We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt; Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand,
saa skal du svare din Søn saaledes: »Vi var engang Faraos Trælle i Ægypten; men HERREN førte os ud af Ægypten med stærk Haand.
22 and he displayed signs and wonders, great and severe, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
Og HERREN udførte Tegn og store, ødelæggende Undere paa Ægypten, paa Farao og hele hans Hus, lige for vore Øjne;
23 and he brought us out from there, so that he might bring us in, to give us the land that he swore to our fathers.
men os førte han ud derfra for at føre os ind og give os det Land, han havde tilsvoret vore Fædre.
24 Yahweh commanded us to always keep all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God for our good, so that he might keep us alive, as we are today.
Dengang paalagde HERREN os at handle efter alle disse Anordninger, idet vi frygter HERREN vor Gud, for at det altid maa gaa os vel, for at han kan lade os blive i Live, som det hidtil er sket.
25 If we keep all these commands before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us, this will be our righteousness.'
Og vi skal staa som retfærdige for HERREN vor Guds Ansigt, naar vi handler efter alle disse Anordninger, saaledes som han har paalagt os!«
