5 Mosebog 5
1 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.
And Moses called all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
2 HERREN vor Gud sluttede en Pagt med os ved Horeb.
The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 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.
The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
4 Ansigt til Ansigt talede HERREN med eder paa Bjerget ud fra Ilden.
The LORD talked with you face to face on the mount from the midst of the fire,
5 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 paa Bjerget.
(I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up upon the mount; ) saying,
6 Han sagde: Jeg er HERREN din Gud, som førte dig ud af Ægypten, af Trællehuset.
I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
7 Du maa ikke have andre Guder end mig.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
8 Du maa ikke gøre dig noget udskaaret Billede eller noget Afbillede af det, som er oppe i Himmelen eller nede paa Jorden eller i Vandet under Jorden;
Thou shalt not make for thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
9 du maa ikke tilbede eller dyrke det, thi jeg HERREN din Gud er en nidkær Gud, der indtil tredje og fjerde Led straffer Fædres Brøde paa Børn af dem, som hader mig,
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
10 men i tusind Led viser Miskundhed mod dem, der elsker mig og holder mine Bud!
And showing mercy to thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
11 Du maa ikke misbruge HERREN din Guds Navn, thi HERREN lader ikke den ustraffet, der misbruger hans Navn!
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
12 Tag Vare paa Hviledagen, saa du holder den hellig, saaledes som HERREN din Gud har paalagt dig!
Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.
13 I seks Dage skal du arbejde og gøre al din Gerning,
Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
14 men den syvende Dag skal være Hviledag for HERREN din Gud; da maa 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.
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy male servant, nor thy female servant, nor thy ox, nor thy donkey, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy male servant and thy female servant may rest as well as thou.
15 Kom i Hu, at du selv var Træl i Ægypten, og at HERREN din Gud førte dig ud derfra med stærk Haand og udstrakt Arm; det er derfor, HERREN din Gud har paalagt dig at fejre Hviledagen!
And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out from there with a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
16 Ær din Fader og din Moder, saaledes som HERREN din Gud har paalagt dig, for at du kan faa et langt Liv, og det maa gaa dig vel i det Land, HERREN din Gud vil give dig.
Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may be well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
17 Du maa ikke slaa ihjel!
Thou shalt not kill.
18 Du maa ikke bedrive Hor!
Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
19 Du maa ikke stjæle!
Neither shalt thou steal.
20 Du maa ikke sige falsk Vidnesbyrd imod din Næste!
Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
21 Du maa ikke begære din Næstes Hustru. Du maa ikke attraa din Næstes Hus, hans Mark, hans Træl eller Trælkvinde, hans Okse eller Æsel eller noget, der hører din Næste til!
Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour’s wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
22 Disse Ord talede HERREN til hele eders Forsamling paa Bjerget ud fra Ilden, Skyen og Mulmet med vældig Røst uden at føje noget til; og han skrev dem op paa to Stentavler og gav mig dem.
These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly on the mount from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them to me.
23 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
And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire, ) that ye came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
24 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.
And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice from the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.
25 Men hvorfor skal vi dø? Thi denne vældige Ild vil fortære os; hvis vi skal blive ved at høre paa HERREN vor Guds Røst, maa vi dø!
Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.
26 Thi hvilken dødelig har nogen Sinde som vi hørt den levende Guds Røst ud fra Ilden og levet?
For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27 Træd du hen og hør alt, hvad HERREN vor Gud siger; siden skal du saa sige os alt, hvad HERREN vor Gud taler til dig, og vi skal høre det og gøre derefter.«
Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou to us all that the LORD our God shall speak to thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
28 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;
And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoke to thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
29 gid de alle Dage maa have et saadant Hjerte, at de frygter mig og holder alle mine Bud, for at det maa gaa dem og deres Børn vel evindelig.
O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
30 Gaa derfor hen og byd dem at vende tilbage til deres Telte;
Go say to them, Return to your tents again.
31 men bliv du staaende her hos mig, saa 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!«
But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak to thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
32 Gør derfor omhyggeligt saaledes, som HERREN eders Gud har paalagt eder, uden at vige til højre eller venstre;
Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
33 følg altid den Vej, som HERREN eders Gud har paalagt eder at gaa, at I kan blive i Live og faa det godt og leve længe i det Land, I skal tage i Besiddelse!
Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
