5 Moseboken 8

Glöm inte Herren
8 Håll troget alla de lagar som jag idag ger dig, för att ni ska få leva och föröka er och lägga under er det land som Herren lovade era förfäder. 2 Kom ihåg hur Herren, din Gud, ledde dig genom öknen i fyrtio år, hur han ödmjukade och prövade dig för att se om du tänkte följa hans bud eller inte. 3 Han ödmjukade dig genom att låta dig gå hungrig för att sedan mätta dig med manna, något som varken du eller dina förfäder kände till. Han ville få dig att inse att människan inte lever bara av bröd utan av alla de ord som utgår ur Herrens mun. 4 Under dessa fyrtio år blev inte dina kläder slitna och dina fötter svullnade aldrig. 5 Du ska inse att Herren, din Gud, fostrar dig som en far fostrar sin son.
6 Lyd Herrens, din Guds, bud! Vandra på hans vägar, frukta honom 7 för Herren, din Gud, leder dig in i ett gott land, ett land med bäckar och källor med friskt vatten som flödar fram i dalar och på höjder; 8 ett land där det finns vete och korn, druvor och fikon, granatäpplen, oliver och honung. 9 Det är ett land där det finns gott om mat och där ingenting saknas. Det är ett land där det finns järn i stenarna och koppar i bergen.
10 När du har mat i överflöd, ska du tacka Herren, din Gud, för det goda land han har gett dig. 11 Se till att du inte glömmer Herren, din Gud! Glöm inte att följa alla de bud, lagar och föreskrifter som jag idag ger dig. 12 När du äter dig mätt och bygger fina hus att bo i, 13 när din boskap och dina hjordar blir stora och du samlar silver och guld på hög och får mer av allting, 14 se då till att du inte blir högmodig och glömmer bort Herren, din Gud, som förde dig ut ur slaveriet i Egypten! 15 Han ledde dig genom den stora och fruktansvärda öknen med dess farliga ormar och skorpioner och brist på vatten. Han gav dig vatten från den hårda klippan, 16 han mättade dig med manna i öknen, något som dina förfäder inte kände till. Allt detta gjorde han för att fostra och pröva dig, så att det till sist skulle gå bra för dig. 17 Tro inte att det var din egen kraft och skicklighet som gav dig din rikedom. 18 Kom ihåg att det är Herren, din Gud, som ger dig förmågan att bli rik och både då och nu gör han det för att upprätthålla det förbund han med ed ingick med dina förfäder. 19 Men om du glömmer Herren, din Gud, och istället börjar tillbe och tjäna andra gudar, då kommer ni – försäkrar jag – att utplånas. 20 På samma sätt som Herren utplånar andra folk för er räkning, kommer ni att utplånas om ni inte lyder Herren, er Gud.

Do Not Forget Yahweh Your God
8 “The entire commandment that I am commanding you today you shall be careful to do, that you (A)may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to give to your fathers. 2 (B)And you shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has (C)led you in the wilderness these forty years, that He might humble you, (D)testing you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. 3 And He humbled you and let you be hungry and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that (E)man does not live by bread alone, but by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh. 4 (F)Your clothing did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. 5 (G)Thus you shall know in your heart that Yahweh your God was disciplining you just as a man disciplines his son. 6 So you shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in His ways and to [a]fear Him. 7 For (H)Yahweh your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills; 8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; 9 a land where you will eat food without scarcity, in which you will not lack anything; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper. 10 And so (I)you will eat and be satisfied, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which He has given you.
11 “[b]Beware lest you (J)forget Yahweh your God by not keeping His commandments and His judgments and His statutes which I am commanding you today; 12 lest (K)you eat and are satisfied and build good houses and live in them, 13 and your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and gold multiply, and all that you have multiplies, 14 and your heart becomes [c]lifted up and you (L)forget Yahweh your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, out of the house of [d]slavery. 15 He led you through (M)the great and fearsome wilderness, with its (N)fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water; He (O)brought water for you out of the rock of flint. 16 In the wilderness He fed you manna (P)which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might (Q)test you, to do good for you [e]in the end, 17 lest (R)you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand made me this wealth.’ 18 But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for (S)it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. 19 Now it will be, if you ever forget Yahweh your God and walk after other gods and serve them and worship them, (T)I testify against you today that you will surely perish. 20 Like the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, so (U)you shall perish, because you would not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.

Deuteronomy 8
New King James Version
Remember the Lord Your God
8 “Every commandment which I command you today (A)you must [a]be careful to observe, that you may live and (B)multiply,[b] and go in and possess the land of which the Lord [c]swore to your fathers. 2 And you shall remember that the Lord your God (C)led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and (D)test you, (E)to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. 3 So He humbled you, (F)allowed you to hunger, and (G)fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall (H)not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. 4 (I)Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. 5 (J)You should [d]know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the Lord your God chastens you.
6 “Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, (K)to walk in His ways and to fear Him. 7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, (L)a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; 8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; 9 a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. 10 (M)When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you.
11 “Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today, 12 (N)lest—when you have eaten and are [e]full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; 13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are [f]multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; 14 (O)when your heart [g]is lifted up, and you (P)forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 15 who (Q)led you through that great and terrible wilderness, (R)in which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; (S)who brought water for you out of the flinty rock; 16 who fed you in the wilderness with (T)manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, (U)to do you good in the end— 17 then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’
18 “And you shall remember the Lord your God, (V)for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, (W)that He may [h]establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. 19 Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the Lord your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, (X)I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. 20 As the nations which the Lord destroys before you, (Y)so you shall perish, because you would not be obedient to the voice of the Lord your God.
