Deuteronomy 11
1 'And thou hast loved Jehovah thy God, and kept His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commands, all the days;
Og du skal elske Herren din Gud og tage Vare paa, hvad han vil have varetaget, og paa hans Skikke og hans Befalinger og hans Bud, alle Dage.
2 and ye have known to-day — for it is not your sons who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, His greatness, His strong hand, and His stretched-out arm,
Og I skulle kende i Dag — thi jeg taler ikke med eders Børn, som ikke kende, og som ikke have set det — Herren eders Guds Tugtelse, hans Storhed, hans stærke Haand og hans udrakte Arm
3 and His signs, and His doings, which He hath done in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to all his land;
og hans Tegn og hans Gerninger, som han gjorde midt i Ægypten paa Farao, Kongen i Ægypten, og paa alt hans Land;
4 and that which He hath done to the force of Egypt, to its horses, and to its chariot, when He hath caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow against their faces in their pursuing after them, and Jehovah destroyeth them, unto this day;
og hvad han gjorde paa Ægypternes Hær, paa deres Heste og paa deres Vogne, der han lod Vandet i det røde Hav flyde over dem, medens de forfulgte eder, og Herren lod dem omkomme indtil denne Dag;
5 and that which He hath done to you in the wilderness, till your coming in unto this place;
og hvad han har gjort ved eder i Ørken, indtil I ere komne til dette Sted;
6 and that which He hath done to Dathan, and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, sons of Reuben, when the earth hath opened her mouth and swalloweth them, and their houses, and their tents, and all that liveth, which is at their feet, in the midst of all Israel:
og hvad han gjorde ved Dathan og Abiram, Sønner af Eliab, Rubens Søn, at Jorden oplod sin Mund og opslugte dem og deres Huse og deres Telte og alle Ting, som fulgte med dem, midt iblandt hele Israel.
7 ' — But [it is] your eyes which are seeing all the great work of Jehovah, which He hath done;
Thi eders Øjne have set alle Herrens store Gerninger, som han har gjort.
8 and ye have kept all the command which I am commanding thee to-day, so that ye are strong, and have gone in, and possessed the land whither ye are passing over to possess it,
Derfor skulle I holde alle de Bud, som jeg byder dig i Dag, at I maa blive stærke og komme ind og eje Landet, som I drage over til for at eje det,
9 and so that ye prolong days on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them and to their seed — a land flowing with milk and honey.
og at I maa forlænge eders Dage i det Land, hvilket Herren tilsvor eders Fædre at give dem og deres Sæd, et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning.
10 'For the land whither thou art going in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt whence ye have come out, where thou sowest thy seed, and hast watered with thy foot, as a garden of the green herb;
Thi det Land, som du kommer hen til for at eje det, er ikke som Ægyptens Land, som I ere dragne ud fra, hvor du saaede din Sæd og maatte selv gaa og vande den som en Urtehave.
11 but the land whither ye are passing over to possess it, [is] a land of hills and valleys; of the rain of the heavens it drinketh water;
Men det Land, som I drage over til for at eje det, er et Land med Bjerge og Dale, det drikker Vand af Himmelens Regn,
12 a land which Jehovah thy God is searching; continually [are] the eyes of Jehovah thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the latter end of the year.
et Land, som Herren din Gud har nøje Agt paa; Herren din Guds Øjne se stedse derpaa fra Aarets Begyndelse og indtil Aarets Ende.
13 'And it hath been — if thou hearken diligently unto My commands which I am commanding you to-day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve Him with all your heart, and with all your soul —
Og det skal ske, dersom I høre mine Bud, som jeg byder eder i Dag, at elske Herren eders Gud og at tjene ham af eders ganske Hjerte og af eders ganske Sjæl:
14 that I have given the rain of your land in its season — sprinkling and gathered — and thou hast gathered thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil,
Da vil jeg give eders Land Regn paa sin Tid, tidlig Regn og sildig Regn, at du kan indsamle dit Korn og din nye Vin og din Olie.
15 and I have given herbs in thy field for thy cattle, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied.
Og jeg vil give dit Kvæg Urter paa din Mark, og du skal æde og blive mæt.
16 'Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be enticed, and ye have turned aside, and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them,
Tager eder i Vare, at eders Hjerte ikke bliver bedaaret, saa at I vige af og tjene andre Guder og tilbede dem,
17 and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you, and He hath restrained the heavens, and there is no rain, and the ground doth not give her increase, and ye have perished hastily from off the good land which Jehovah is giving to you.
saa Herrens Vrede optændes imod eder, og han lukker Himmelen til, at der ingen Regn kommer, og Jorden ikke giver sin Grøde, og I snart udryddes fra det gode Land, som Herren giver eder.
18 'And ye have placed these my words on your heart, and on your soul, and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes;
Men I skulle lægge disse mine Ord paa eders Hjerte og paa eders Sjæl og binde dem til et Tegn paa eders Haand, at de kunne være til et Spand imellem eders Øjne.
19 and ye have taught them to your sons, by speaking of them in thy sitting in thy house, and in thy going in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
Og I skulle lære eders Børn dem ved at tale derom, naar du sidder i dit Hus, og naar du gaar paa Vejen, og naar du lægger dig, og naar du staar op,
20 and hast written them on the side-posts of thy house, and on thy gates,
og du skal skrive dem paa Dørstolperne i dit Hus og paa dine Porte;
21 so that your days are multiplied, and the days of your sons, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them, as the days of the heavens on the earth.
at eders Dage og eders Børns Dage maa blive mangfoldige i det Land, som Herren tilsvor eders Fædre at give dem, som Himmelens Dage ere over Jorden.
22 'For, if ye diligently keep all this command which I am commanding you — to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave to Him,
Thi dersom I tage Vare paa alle disse Bud, som jeg byder eder at gøre efter, saa at I elske Herren eders Gud, vandre i alle hans Veje og hænge ved ham:
23 then hath Jehovah dispossessed all these nations from before you, and ye have possessed nations, greater and mightier than you;
Da skal Herren fordrive alle disse Folk fra eders Ansigt, og I skulle eje større og stærkere Folk, end I selv ere.
24 every place on which the sole of your foot treadeth is yours; from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Phrat, even unto the farther sea is your border;
Hvert Sted, som I med eders Fodsaaler skulle træde paa, skal høre eder til: Fra Ørken og Libanon, fra Floden, den Flod Frat, og indtil det yderste Hav skal eders Landemærke være.
25 no man doth station himself in your presence; your dread and your fear doth Jehovah your God put on the face of all the land on which ye tread, as He hath spoken to you.
Der skal ingen Mand kunne staa for eders Ansigt; Herren eders Gud skal lade Rædsel for eder og Frygt for eder komme over alt Landet, som I træde paa, ligesom han har sagt eder.
26 'See, I am setting before you to-day a blessing and a reviling:
Se, jeg lægger i Dag for eders Ansigt Velsignelse og Forbandelse:
27 the blessing, when ye hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you to-day;
Velsignelsen, naar I lyde Herren eders Guds Bud, som jeg byder eder i Dag;
28 and the reviling, if ye do not hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, and have turned aside out of the way which I am commanding you to-day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.
og Forbandelsen, dersom I ikke lyde Herren eders Guds Bud, men vige fra den Vej, som jeg byder eder i Dag, saa at I vandre efter andre Guder, som I ikke kende.
29 'And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it, that thou hast given the blessing on mount Gerizim, and the reviling on mount Ebal;
Og det skal ske, naar Herren din Gud fører dig ind i det Land, som du kommer hen til for at eje det, da skal du lyse Velsignelsen paa det Bjerg Garizim og Forbandelsen paa det Bjerg Ebal.
30 are they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite, who is dwelling in the plain over-against Gilgal, near the oaks of Moreh?
Ere disse ikke paa hin Side Jordanen bag Vejen imod Solens Nedgang, i Kananiternes Land, som bo paa den slette Mark, tværs over for Gilgal ved More Lund?
31 for ye are passing over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you; and ye have possessed it, and dwelt in it,
Thi I gaa over Jordanen for at komme ind at eje Landet, som Herren eders Gud giver eder; og I skulle eje det og bo i det.
32 and observed to do all the statutes and the judgments which I am setting before you to day.
Saa skulle I tage Vare paa at gøre efter alle de Skikke og Bud, som jeg lægger for eders Ansigt paa denne Dag.
