Fimmta bók Móse 12
Icelandic Bible
12 Þetta eru lög þau og ákvæði, sem þér skuluð gæta að breyta eftir í landi því, sem Drottinn, Guð feðra þinna, gefur þér til eignar, alla þá daga sem þér lifið á jörðinni.
2 Þér skuluð gjöreyða alla þá staði, þar sem þjóðirnar, er þér leggið undir yður, hafa dýrkað guði sína, á háum fjöllum, á hæðum og undir hverju grænu tré.
3 Þér skuluð rífa niður ölturu þeirra, brjóta í sundur merkissteina þeirra, brenna asérur þeirra í eldi, höggva sundur skurðlíkneski guða þeirra og afmá nafn þeirra úr þeim stað.
4 Eigi skuluð þér svo breyta við Drottin Guð yðar,
5 heldur skuluð þér leita til þess staðar, sem Drottinn Guð yðar mun til velja úr öllum kynkvíslum yðar til þess að láta nafn sitt búa þar, og þangað skalt þú fara.
6 Þangað skuluð þér færa brennifórnir yðar og sláturfórnir, tíundir yðar og það, sem þér færið að fórnargjöf, heitfórnir yðar og sjálfviljafórnir, og frumburði nautgripa yðar og sauðfénaðar.
7 Og þar skuluð þér halda fórnarmáltíð frammi fyrir Drottni Guði yðar og gleðja yður ásamt fjölskyldum yðar yfir öllu því, er þér hafið aflað, yfir því, sem Drottinn Guð þinn hefir blessað þig með.
8 Þér megið ekki hegða yður þá eins og vér hegðum oss hér nú, er hver gjörir það, sem honum gott þykir,
9 því að þér eruð ekki enn komnir á hvíldarstaðinn né til arfleifðarinnar, sem Drottinn Guð þinn gefur þér.
10 En þegar þér eruð komnir yfir Jórdan og hafið setst að í landinu, sem Drottinn Guð yðar lætur yður fá til eignar, og þegar hann hefir veitt yður frið fyrir öllum óvinum yðar allt í kring og þér búið óhultir,
11 þá skal sá staður, er Drottinn Guð yðar velur til þess að láta nafn sitt búa þar, vera staðurinn, sem þér færið til allt sem ég býð yður: brennifórnir yðar og sláturfórnir, tíundir yðar og það sem þér færið að fórnargjöf og allar útvaldar heitfórnir yðar, er þér heitið Drottni.
12 Og þér skuluð gleðjast frammi fyrir Drottni Guði yðar, þér og synir yðar og dætur, þrælar yðar og ambáttir, ásamt levítunum, sem eru innan borgarhliða yðar, því að þeir hafa eigi hlutskipti né óðal með yður.
13 Gæt þín, að þú fórnir ekki brennifórnum þínum á hverjum þeim stað, er þér ræður við að horfa,
14 heldur á þeim stað, er Drottinn velur í einhverri af kynkvíslum þínum. Þar skalt þú fórna brennifórnum þínum og þar skalt þú gjöra allt það, sem ég býð þér.
15 Þó mátt þú slátra og eta kjöt eftir eigin vild þinni innan allra borgarhliða þinna, eftir þeirri blessun, er Drottinn Guð þinn gefur þér. Bæði óhreinn maður og hreinn mega eta það, sem væri það skógargeit eða hjörtur.
16 Aðeins megið þér ekki eta blóðið; þú skalt hella því á jörðina sem vatni.
17 Þú mátt eigi eta innan borgarhliða þinna tíund af korni þínu, aldinlegi þínum og olíu þinni, né frumburði nautgripa þinna og sauðfénaðar, né nokkuð af heitfórnum þínum, er þú hefir heitið, né sjálfviljafórnir þínar, né nokkuð, sem þú færir að fórnargjöf,
18 heldur skalt þú eta það frammi fyrir Drottni Guði þínum, á þeim stað, sem Drottinn Guð þinn velur, þú og sonur þinn og dóttir þín og þræll þinn og ambátt þín og levítinn, sem er innan borgarhliða þinna, og þú skalt gleðjast frammi fyrir Drottni Guði þínum yfir öllu því, sem þú hefir aflað.
19 Gæt þín, að þú setjir ekki levítana hjá alla þá daga, sem þú lifir í landi þínu.
20 Þegar Drottinn Guð þinn færir út landamerki þín, eins og hann hefir heitið þér, og þú segir: "Ég vil eta kjöt!" af því að þig lystir að eta kjöt, þá mátt þú eta kjöt, eins og þig lystir.
21 Ef sá staður, sem Drottinn Guð þinn velur til þess að láta nafn sitt búa þar, er mjög langt í burtu frá þér, þá skalt þú slátra af nautum þínum og sauðum, sem Drottinn hefir gefið þér, eins og ég hefi fyrir þig lagt, og þú skalt eta það innan borgarhliða þinna eins og þig lystir.
22 Aðeins skalt þú eta það eins og menn eta skógargeit eða hjört; bæði óhreinn maður og hreinn mega eta það.
23 Þó skalt þú varast það grandgæfilega að neyta blóðsins, því að blóðið er lífið, og þú skalt ekki eta lífið með kjötinu.
24 Þú skalt ekki neyta þess, þú skalt hella því á jörðina sem vatni.
25 Þú skalt ekki neyta þess, svo að þér vegni vel og börnum þínum eftir þig, er þú gjörir það sem rétt er í augum Drottins.
26 En helgigjafir þínar, þær er þér ber að færa, og heitfórnir þínar skalt þú taka og fara með þær til þess staðar, sem Drottinn velur.
27 Og þú skalt fram bera brennifórnir þínar, kjötið og blóðið, á altari Drottins Guðs þíns, og blóðinu úr sláturfórnum þínum skal hella á altari Drottins Guðs þíns, en kjötið skalt þú eta.
28 Varðveit þú og hlýð þú öllum þessum boðorðum, sem ég legg fyrir þig, svo að þér vegni vel og börnum þínum eftir þig ævinlega, er þú gjörir það, sem gott er og rétt í augum Drottins Guðs þíns.
29 Þegar Drottinn Guð þinn upprætir þær þjóðir fyrir þér, er þú heldur nú til, til þess að leggja þær undir þig, og er þú hefir lagt þær undir þig og ert setstur að í landi þeirra,
30 þá gæt þín, að þú freistist ekki til þess að taka upp siðu þeirra, eftir að þeir eru eyddir burt frá þér, og að þú farir ekki að spyrjast fyrir um guði þeirra og segja: "Hvernig dýrkuðu þessar þjóðir guði sína, svo að ég geti og farið eins að?"
31 Þú skalt eigi breyta svo við Drottin Guð þinn, því að allt sem andstyggilegt er Drottni, það er hann hatar, hafa þær gjört til heiðurs guðum sínum, því að jafnvel sonu sína og dætur hafa þær brennt í eldi til heiðurs guðum sínum.
32 Þér skuluð gæta þess að halda öll þau boðorð, sem ég legg fyrir yður. Þú skalt engu auka við þau né heldur draga nokkuð undan.

The One Place of Worship
12 These are the decrees(A) and laws you must be careful to follow in the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given you to possess—as long as you live in the land.(B) 2 Destroy completely all the places on the high mountains,(C) on the hills and under every spreading tree,(D) where the nations you are dispossessing worship their gods. 3 Break down their altars, smash(E) their sacred stones and burn(F) their Asherah(G) poles in the fire; cut down the idols of their gods and wipe out their names(H) from those places.
4 You must not worship the Lord your God in their way.(I) 5 But you are to seek the place the Lord your God will choose from among all your tribes to put his Name(J) there for his dwelling.(K) To that place you must go; 6 there bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes(L) and special gifts, what you have vowed(M) to give and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.(N) 7 There, in the presence(O) of the Lord your God, you and your families shall eat and shall rejoice(P) in everything you have put your hand to, because the Lord your God has blessed you.
8 You are not to do as we do here today, everyone doing as they see fit,(Q) 9 since you have not yet reached the resting place(R) and the inheritance(S) the Lord your God is giving you. 10 But you will cross the Jordan and settle in the land the Lord your God is giving(T) you as an inheritance, and he will give you rest(U) from all your enemies around you so that you will live in safety. 11 Then to the place the Lord your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name(V)—there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice possessions you have vowed to the Lord.(W) 12 And there rejoice(X) before the Lord your God—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites(Y) from your towns who have no allotment or inheritance(Z) of their own. 13 Be careful not to sacrifice your burnt offerings anywhere you please.(AA) 14 Offer them only at the place the Lord will choose(AB) in one of your tribes, and there observe everything I command you.
15 Nevertheless, you may slaughter your animals in any of your towns and eat as much of the meat as you want, as if it were gazelle or deer,(AC) according to the blessing the Lord your God gives you. Both the ceremonially unclean and the clean may eat it. 16 But you must not eat the blood;(AD) pour(AE) it out on the ground like water.(AF) 17 You must not eat in your own towns the tithe(AG) of your grain and new wine and olive oil,(AH) or the firstborn of your herds and flocks, or whatever you have vowed to give,(AI) or your freewill offerings or special gifts.(AJ) 18 Instead, you are to eat(AK) them in the presence of the Lord your God at the place the Lord your God will choose(AL)—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites from your towns—and you are to rejoice(AM) before the Lord your God in everything you put your hand to. 19 Be careful not to neglect the Levites(AN) as long as you live in your land.(AO)
20 When the Lord your God has enlarged your territory(AP) as he promised(AQ) you, and you crave meat(AR) and say, “I would like some meat,” then you may eat as much of it as you want. 21 If the place where the Lord your God chooses to put his Name(AS) is too far away from you, you may slaughter animals from the herds and flocks the Lord has given you, as I have commanded you, and in your own towns you may eat as much of them as you want.(AT) 22 Eat them as you would gazelle or deer.(AU) Both the ceremonially unclean and the clean may eat. 23 But be sure you do not eat the blood,(AV) because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat.(AW) 24 You must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground like water.(AX) 25 Do not eat it, so that it may go well(AY) with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is right(AZ) in the eyes of the Lord.
26 But take your consecrated things and whatever you have vowed to give,(BA) and go to the place the Lord will choose. 27 Present your burnt offerings(BB) on the altar of the Lord your God, both the meat and the blood. The blood of your sacrifices must be poured beside the altar of the Lord your God, but you may eat(BC) the meat. 28 Be careful to obey all these regulations I am giving you, so that it may always go well(BD) with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God.
29 The Lord your God will cut off(BE) before you the nations you are about to invade and dispossess. But when you have driven them out and settled in their land,(BF) 30 and after they have been destroyed before you, be careful not to be ensnared(BG) by inquiring about their gods, saying, “How do these nations serve their gods? We will do the same.”(BH) 31 You must not worship the Lord your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the Lord hates.(BI) They even burn their sons(BJ) and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.(BK)
32 See that you do all I command you; do not add(BL) to it or take away from it.[a]

Deuteronomy 12
King James Version
Deuteronomy 12
King James Version
12 These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
3 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
4 Ye shall not do so unto the Lord your God.
5 But unto the place which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
6 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:
7 And there ye shall eat before the Lord your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the Lord thy God hath blessed thee.
8 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the Lord your God giveth you.
10 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the Lord your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
11 Then there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the Lord:
12 And ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:
14 But in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
16 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
18 But thou must eat them before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.
19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
20 When the Lord thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
21 If the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the Lord hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
22 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
24 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
25 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.
26 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the Lord shall choose:
27 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the Lord thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the Lord thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the Lord thy God.
29 When the Lord thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31 Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
