5.Mose 11 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

1 I skal elske Herren, jeres Gud, og altid adlyde alle hans befalinger og lovbud.

2 Det er til jer, jeg taler, ikke til jeres efterkommere, for de har ikke som jer erfaret Herrens straf, storhed og vældige magt.

3 De så ikke de store undere, han gjorde i Egypten mod kongen og hans folk.

4 De oplevede ikke, hvordan Herren i Det Røde Hav druknede hele den egyptiske hær med alle dens heste og stridsvogne, der var i hælene på jer, så de én gang for alle blev uskadeliggjort.

5 De oplevede ikke på egen krop, hvordan Herren gang på gang tog sig af sit folk under vandringen i ørkenen og helt frem til i dag.

6 De var ikke vidne til, hvordan Datan og Abiram, Eliabs sønner af Rubens stamme, syndede imod ham, så de i folkets påsyn blev opslugt af jordens gab sammen med deres familier, telte, husstande og dyr.

7 Men I, I har hørt om eller selv været vidne til Herrens mægtige indgreb.

8 Derfor skal I omhyggeligt lægge mærke til de bud, som jeg påbyder jer i dag, så I må få styrke til at gå ind og tage landet i besiddelse.

9 Hvis I adlyder hans love, vil I få et langt og godt liv i det land, Herren lovede jeres forfædre og jer, et vidunderligt land, der ‚flyder med mælk og honning’.

10 Det land, som I skal ind og tage i besiddelse, er ikke som det land, jeres forfædre boede i. I Egypten var afgrøderne afhængige af det hårde arbejde ved vandingsanlæggene,

11 men det land, der ligger foran jer, er et frodigt land med bakker og dale, hvor regnen falder fra himlen og vander jorden,

12 et land, som Herren omsorgsfuldt våger over året rundt.

13 Hvis I vil adlyde de lovbud, jeg pålægger jer i dag, hvis I vil elske Herren, jeres Gud, og tjene ham med hele jeres hjerte, alle jeres tanker og hele jeres sjæl,

14 vil han hvert forår og efterår sende den regn, der er behov for, så I får masser af korn, vin og oliven.

15 Han vil sørge for, at der er rigeligt med græs til jeres kvæg og masser af føde til jer selv.

16 Men pas på, at I ikke bliver narret til at vende jer fra Gud og begynde at dyrke andre guder.

17 Gør I det, vil Herrens vrede blusse op imod jer, og han vil lukke for himlens sluser, så høsten slår fejl, og I går til grunde i det dejlige land, han gav jer.

18 Læg derfor omhyggeligt mærke til alle hans befalinger, bind dem om jeres hænder og pander, så I altid husker at adlyde dem.

19 Lær jeres børn dem. Tal om dem ude og hjemme, ved sengetid og om morgenen.

20 Skriv dem på jeres dørstolper,

21 for at I og jeres børn, så længe verden står, kan opleve velsignelse i det land, Herren lovede jeres forfædre.

22 Hvis I omhyggeligt adlyder de befalinger, jeg giver jer, og elsker Herren, jeres Gud, så I følger ham og holder jer til ham,

23 vil Herren jage indbyggerne ud af landet, selv om de er både flere og stærkere end jer.

24 Den jord, I indtager, skal tilhøre jer, fra Negevs ørken i syd til Libanons bjerge i nordvest, og fra Eufratfloden til Middelhavet.

25 Ingen kan holde stand imod jer, for Herren, jeres Gud, har lovet at skabe panik iblandt dem, så de flygter for jer, overalt hvor I rykker frem.

26 I dag stiller jeg jer over for et valg. Det er op til jer, om I vælger at være under Herrens velsignelse eller under hans dom.

27 Velsignelsen får I, hvis I adlyder Herren, jeres Guds, bud, som jeg pålægger jer i dag,

28 men hvis I trodser hans bud og dyrker fremmede guder, vil han dømme jer.

29 Når Herren, jeres Gud, fører jer ind i det land, I skal erobre, vil der blive udråbt velsignelse fra Garizims bjerg og dom fra Ebals bjerg.*

30 (De to bjerge ligger vest for Jordanfloden, ved Moras ege nær Gilgal i kana’anæernes land.)

31 Tiden er nu kommet, hvor I skal gå over Jordanfloden og indtage det land, som Herren har givet jer. Når I slår jer ned i landet,

32 skal I omhyggeligt følge de lovbud, jeg pålægger jer i dag.

English Standard Version

Love and Serve the Lord

1 “You shall therefore love the Lord your God and keep his charge, his statutes, his rules, and his commandments always.

2 And consider today (since I am not speaking to your children who have not known or seen it), consider the discipline* of the Lord your God, his greatness, his mighty hand and his outstretched arm,

3 his signs and his deeds that he did in Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt and to all his land,

4 and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and to their chariots, how he made the water of the Red Sea flow over them as they pursued after you, and how the Lord has destroyed them to this day,

5 and what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place,

6 and what he did to Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, son of Reuben, how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel.

7 For your eyes have seen all the great work of the Lord that he did.

8 “You shall therefore keep the whole commandment that I command you today, that you may be strong, and go in and take possession of the land that you are going over to possess,

9 and that you may live long in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 For the land that you are entering to take possession of it is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated it,* like a garden of vegetables.

11 But the land that you are going over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water by the rain from heaven,

12 a land that the Lord your God cares for. The eyes of the Lord your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

13 “And if you will indeed obey my commandments that I command you today, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

14 he* will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, that you may gather in your grain and your wine and your oil.

15 And he will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full.

16 Take care lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them;

17 then the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and he will shut up the heavens, so that there will be no rain, and the land will yield no fruit, and you will perish quickly off the good land that the Lord is giving you.

18 “You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

19 You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.

20 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,

21 that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.

22 For if you will be careful to do all this commandment that I command you to do, loving the Lord your God, walking in all his ways, and holding fast to him,

23 then the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you.

24 Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours. Your territory shall be from the wilderness to* the Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the western sea.

25 No one shall be able to stand against you. The Lord your God will lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread, as he promised you.

26 “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:

27 the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today,

28 and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way that I am commanding you today, to go after other gods that you have not known.

29 And when the Lord your God brings you into the land that you are entering to take possession of it, you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.

30 Are they not beyond the Jordan, west of the road, toward the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah, opposite Gilgal, beside the oak* of Moreh?

31 For you are to cross over the Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving you. And when you possess it and live in it,

32 you shall be careful to do all the statutes and the rules that I am setting before you today.
