5 Mosebog 28
1 Og det skal ske, om du flitteligen hører paa Herren din Guds Røst, saa at du tager Vare paa at gøre alle hans Bud, som jeg byder dig i Dag, da skal Herren din Gud sætte dig højt over alle Folk paa Jorden.
“If you do what Yahweh our God tells you to do and faithfully obey everything that I am today commanding you to do, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation on the earth.
2 Og alle disse Velsignelser skulle komme over dig og vederfares dig, naar du hører paa Herren din Guds Røst:
If you obey Yahweh, this is what he will do to bless you:
3 Velsignet skal du være i Staden, og velsignet skal du være paa Marken.
He will bless everything that you do when you are in the cities and he will bless everything that you do when you are [working] in the fields.
4 Velsignet skal dit Livs Frugt være og dit Lands Frugt og dit Kvægs Frugt, dine Øksnes Affødning og dit smaa Kvægs Yngel.
He will bless you by giving you many children [IDM] and by giving you abundant crops, and plenty of cattle and sheep.
5 Velsignet skal din Kurv være og dit Dejgtrug.
He will bless you by causing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
6 Velsignet skal du være, naar du gaar ind, og velsignet skal du være, naar du gaar ud.
He will bless you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
7 Herren skal give dine Fjender, som rejse sig imod dig, slagne for dit Ansigt; ad een Vej skulle de drage ud imod dig, og ad syv Veje skulle de fly for dit Ansigt.
Yahweh will enable you to defeat [the armies of] your enemies; they will attack you from one direction, but they will run away from you in seven/many directions.
8 Herren skal byde Velsignelsen at være hos dig i dine Lader og i alt det, som du udrækker din Haand til; og han skal velsigne dig i det Land, som Herren din Gud giver dig.
Yahweh will bless you [by filling] your barns [with grain], and he will bless all the work that you do; he will bless you in the land that he is giving to you.
9 Herren skal oprejse dig til et helligt Folk for sig, som han har tilsvoret dig, naar du holder Herren din Guds Bud og vandrer i hans Veje.
“If you obey all the commandments that Yahweh our God [has given to you] and if you conduct your lives as he wants you to do, you will continue to be his people, which is what he promised.
10 Og alle Folk paa Jorden skulle se, at du er kaldet efter Herrens Navn, og de skulle frygte for dig.
“When all the people-groups on the earth will realize that you belong to [MTY] Yahweh, and they will be afraid of you.
11 Og Herren skal give Overflod, dig til Gode, af dit Livs Frugt og af dit Kvægs Frugt og af dit Lands Frugt i det Land, som Herren tilsvor dine Fædre at give dig.
“And Yahweh will cause you to prosper very much. He will give you many children [IDM], many cattle, and abundant crops in the land that he vowed to our ancestors that he would give to you.
12 Herren skal oplade for dig sit gode Forraadskammer, Himmelen, for at give dit Land Regn i sin Tid og at velsigne al din Haands Gerning, og du skal laane ud til mange Folk, og du skal ikke tage til Laans.
“When rain is needed, Yahweh will send it from where he stores it in the sky, and he will bless all your work, with the result that you [will be able to] lend money to many other nations, but you will not need to borrow [money from them].
13 Og Herren skal sætte dig til Hoved og ikke til Hale, og du skal kun gaa opad og ikke nedad, dersom du vil høre Herren din Guds Bud, hvilke jeg byder dig i Dag at holde og at gøre efter dem,
If you faithfully obey all of the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving you today, Yahweh will cause your nation to be a leader among the nations, not inferior to them; you will always be prosperous and never be needy/poor [IDM].
14 og du ikke viger fra noget af disse Ord, som jeg byder eder i Dag, til højre eller venstre Side, ved at gaa efter andre Guder og tjene dem.
[Yahweh will do all these things for you] if you do not turn away from [obeying] what I am commanding you today, and if you never worship or serve other gods.
15 Og det skal ske, dersom du ikke hører Herren din Guds Røst om at holde og at gøre efter alle hans Bud og hans Skikke, som jeg byder dig i Dag, da skulle alle disse Forbandelser komme over dig og vederfares dig:
But if you do not do what Yahweh our God is telling you to do, and if you do not faithfully obey all his rules and regulations that I am giving to you today, this is what he will do to curse you:
16 Forbandet skal du være i Staden, og forbandet skal du være paa Marken.
He will curse you when you are in the cities and he will curse you when you are [working] in the fields.
17 Forbandet skal din Kurv være og dit Dejgtrug.
He will curse you by not allowing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
18 Forbandet skal dit Livs Frugt være og dit Lands Frugt, dine Øksnes Affødning og dit smaa Kvægs Yngel.
He will curse you by giving you only a few children [IDM], by causing you to have poor crops, and by not enabling you to have many cattle and sheep.
19 Forbandet skal du være, naar du gaar ind, og forbandet skal du være, naar du gaar ud.
He will curse you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
20 Herren skal sende Forbandelsen, Forstyrrelsen og Tugtelsen over dig i alt det, du udrækker din Haand til, som du vil gøre, indtil du bliver ødelagt, og indtil du hastigen gaar til Grunde for dine Gerningers Ondskabs Skyld, fordi du forlod mig.
If you do evil things and reject Yahweh, he will curse you by causing you to (be confused/not know what to do), and to be frustrated in everything that you do, until [your enemies] quickly and completely destroy you {you will be quickly and completely destroyed}.
21 Herren skal lade Pest hænge ved dig, indtil han fuldkommen udsletter dig af Landet, som du drager hen til for at eje det.
Yahweh will cause you to experience terrible diseases, until not one of you remains alive in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
22 Herren skal slaa dig med Svindsot og med Feber og med hidsig Sygdom og med Betændelse og med Sværd og med Brand og Rust i Kornet, og de skulle forfølge dig, indtil du omkommer.
Yahweh will strike/afflict you with diseases that shrivel your bodies, with fever, with inflammation/swelling. It will be extremely hot, and it will not rain. There will be scorching winds, and [Yahweh will cause] your crops to rot. All these things will strike you until you die.
23 Og din Himmel, som er over dit Hoved, skal være som Kobber, og Jorden, som er under dig, som Jern.
There will be no rain [MET], [with the result that] the ground will be [as hard as] iron [MET].
24 Herren skal gøre dit Lands Regn til Sand og Støv; af Himmelen skal det falde ned over dig, indtil du bliver ødelagt.
Instead of sending rain, Yahweh will send strong winds to blow sand and dust over your land, until your land is ruined.
25 Herren skal lade dig slaas for dine Fjenders Ansigt; ad een Vej skal du drage ud imod ham, og ad syv Veje skal du fly for hans Ansigt; og du skal være i Ustadighed iblandt alle Riger paa Jorden.
Yahweh will enable your enemies to defeat you; your soldiers will attack your enemies from one direction, but they will run away from your enemies in seven/many directions, and when the people of other nations see what is happening to you, they will say that it is horrible.
26 Og din døde Krop skal blive alle Fugle under Himmelen og Dyr paa Jorden til Føde, og der skal ingen være, som skræmmer dem.
[You will die], and birds and wild animals will come and eat your corpses, and there will not be anyone to scare/shoo them away.
27 Herren skal slaa dig med ægyptiske Bylder og med Hævelser og med Skurv og med Udslet, for hvilke du ikke skal kunne læges.
Yahweh will cause you to have boils on your skin, like he caused the people of Egypt to have [many years ago]. He will cause you to have tumors, open sores, and your skin will itch, and there will be nothing that will cure those diseases.
28 Herren skal slaa dig med Vanvid og med Blindhed og med Sindsforvirring.
Yahweh will cause [some of] you to become insane; he will cause some of you to become blind, and he will cause [some of] your minds to become confused.
29 Og du skal føle dig for om Middagen, ligesom den blinde føler sig for i Mørket, og du skal ingen Lykke have paa dine Veje, og du skal lide idel Vold og vorde til Rov alle Dage, og ingen skal frelse dig.
[Because you will not be able to see where you are going], at midday you will (grope/feel your way) around with your hands, like people do in the darkness. You will continually be oppressed and robbed, and no one will help you.
30 Du skal trolove dig en Hustru, og en anden Mand skal ligge hos hende; du skal bygge et Hus, men du skal ikke bo derudi; du skal plante en Vingaard, men du skal ikke nyde Frugten af den.
Some of you men will be engaged/promised to marry a young woman, but someone else will rape her. You will build houses, but you will never live in them. You will plant grapevines, but you will not eat the grapes; [someone else will eat them].
31 Din Okse skal slagtes for dine Øjne, og du skal ikke æde deraf; dit Asen skal røves for dit Ansigt og ikke komme tilbage til dig; dit smaa Kvæg skal gives dine Fjender, og du skal ingen have, som frelser dig.
Your enemies will butcher your cattle while you watch them, and you will not get any of the meat to eat. They will drag away your donkeys while you watch them do it, and they will not give them back to you. They will take away your sheep; and no one will help you [rescue them].
32 Dine Sønner og dine Døtre skulle gives til et andet Folk, og dine Øjne skulle se derpaa og hentæres over dem hver Dag; men der skal intet være i din Haands Magt.
While you watch, your sons and daughters will be given to foreigners to become their slaves. Every day you will very sadly watch for your children to return, but (you will watch in vain/they will never return).
33 Dit Lands Frugt og alt, hvad du har arbejdet for, skal et Folk fortære, som du ikke kender, og du skal lide idel Vold og blive knust alle Dage.
People from a foreign nation will take all the crops that you worked hard to produce, and they will constantly treat you harshly and cruelly [DOU].
34 Og du skal blive rasende over det Syn, som dine Øjne skulle se.
The result will be that all these terrible things that you see/experience will cause you to become insane.
35 Herren skal slaa dig med onde Bylder paa Knæerne og paa Laarene, saa at du ikke skal kunne læges fra din Fodsaale og til din Hovedisse.
Yahweh will cause your legs [to be covered with] painful boils that cannot be healed, and you will have boils from the bottoms of your feet to the tops of your heads.
36 Herren skal føre dig og din Konge, som du skal sætte over dig, til et Folk, som hverken du, ej heller dine Fædre have kendt, og der skal du tjene andre Guder, Træ og Sten.
Yahweh will cause your king and the rest of you to be taken to another country, to a place in which you and your ancestors have never lived before, and there you will worship and serve gods that are made of wood or stone.
37 Og du skal blive til en Skræk, til et Ordsprog og til Spot iblandt alle de Folk, til hvilke Herren skal føre dig hen.
When the people-groups in nearby countries see what has happened to you, they will be shocked/horrified; they will make fun [DOU] of you.
38 Du skal udføre megen Sæd paa Marken, men du skal samle lidet ind; thi Græshoppen skal opæde den.
You will plant plenty of seeds in your fields, but you will reap only a small harvest, because locusts will eat the crops.
39 Du skal plante og dyrke Vingaarde, men ikke drikke Vinen og ikke indsamle; thi Ormen skal fortære den.
You will plant grapevines and take care of them, but you will not pick any grapes to make wine, because worms will eat the vines.
40 Du skal have Olietræer inden alle dine Landemærker, men ikke salve dig med Olien; thi dit Olietræ skal oprykkes.
Olive trees will grow everywhere in your land, but you will not get any olive oil to rub on your skin because the olives will drop [on the ground before they are ripe].
41 Du skal avle Sønner og Døtre, men de skulle ikke blive hos dig; thi de skulle gaa i Fangenskab.
You will have sons and daughters, but they will not stay with you, because they will be captured and taken away.
42 Alle dine Træer og dit Lands Frugt skal Græshoppen eje.
Swarms of locusts/insects will eat your crops and [the leaves of] all your trees.
43 Den fremmede, som er midt iblandt dig, skal stige højere og højere op over dig; men du skal stige dybere og dybere ned.
Foreigners who live in your land will become more and more [powerful], and you will become less and less [powerful].
44 Han skal laane dig, og du skal ikke laane ham; han skal være Hoved og du skal være Hale.
They will [have money to] lend to you, but you will not [have any money to] lend to them. They will be superior [IDM] to you, and you will be inferior to them [IDM].
45 Saa skulle alle disse Forbandelser komme over dig og forfølge dig og ramme dig, indtil du bliver ødelagt, fordi du ikke hørte Herren din Guds Røst, saa at du holdt hans Bud og hans Skikke, som han havde budet dig.
“You will experience all these disasters, and you will continue to experience them you until you are destroyed, if you do not do what Yahweh your God told you to do, and do not obey all the rules and regulations that he gave to you.
46 Og de skulle være til et Tegn og til et Vidunder paa dig og paa din Sæd evindeligen,
“These disasters will warn [DOU] you and your descendants forever [about what happens to groups who disobey Yahweh].
47 efterdi du ikke tjente Herren din Gud i Glæde og med Hjertens Lyst, fordi du havde alting i Overflod.
“Because Yahweh blessed you abundantly in many ways, you should have served him very joyfully [DOU], but you did not do that.
48 Og du skal tjene dine Fjender, som Herren skal udsende imod dig, i Hunger og i Tørst, i Nøgenhed og i alle Haande Mangel; og han skal lægge et Jernaag paa din Hals, indtil han ødelægger dig.
“Therefore, you will work for the enemies whom Yahweh will send to attack you. You will be hungry and thirsty; you will not have clothes to wear; and you will lack everything else that you need. And Yahweh will cause you to become slaves [MET] and work hard until he gets rid of you.
49 Herren skal føre et Folk op over dig langt fra, fra Jordens Ende, som Ørnen i Flugt, et Folk, hvis Tungemaal du ikke forstaar,
“Yahweh will cause an army from very far away [HYP] to attack you, whose soldiers speak a language that you do not know/understand. They will swoop down on you [quickly] like an eagle [SIM] attacks its prey.
50 et ublu Folk, som ikke skal agte den gamles Person og ej være den unge naadig.
They will be fierce looking. They will not act mercifully toward anyone, not even young children and old people.
51 Og det skal fortære dit Kvægs Frugt og dit Lands Frugt, indtil du bliver ødelagt, og det skal ikke efterlade dig Korn, ny Vin eller Olie, dine Øksnes Affødning eller dit smaa Kvægs Yngel, indtil det faar dig tilintetgjort.
They will [kill and] eat your livestock, and they will eat your crops, and you will (starve/die because you do not have anything to eat). They will not leave for you any grain or wine or [olive] oil or cattle or sheep; and you will all die [from hunger].
52 Og det skal ængste dig inden alle dine Porte, indtil dine høje og befæstede Mure falde ned, som du forlader dig paa i hele dit Land; ja det skal ængste dig inden alle dine Porte i dit ganske Land, som Herren din Gud har givet dig.
Your enemies will surround your towns throughout the land that Yahweh your God is about to give to you, and they will break down the high and strong walls [around your towns], walls which you trusted/thought would protect you.
53 Og du skal æde dit Livs Frugt, Kødet af dine Sønner og af dine Døtre, som Herren din Gud har givet dig, i Belejring og i Trang, hvormed din Fjende skal trænge dig.
“When your enemies are surrounding [your towns], you will be extremely hungry, with the result that you will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters that Yahweh your God has given to you.
54 Den Mand, som var blødagtig hos dig og saare kræsen, han skal ikke unde sin Broder eller Hustruen i sin Arm eller sine øvrige Sønner, som han har tilbage,
When your enemies have surrounded your towns, even the most gentle and sensitive men among you will want food very desperately, with the result that they will [kill their own children and] eat their flesh, because they will not have anything else to eat. They will not even share any of it with their brothers or wives whom they love very much or with any of their children who are still alive.
55 at give en af dem af sine Sønners Kød, hvilket han æder, fordi intet er levnet ham i den Belejring og Trang, hvormed din Fjende skal trænge dig inden dine Porte.
56 Hun, som har været saa blødagtig og kræsen hos dig, at hun ikke har forsøgt at sætte sin Fodsaale paa Jorden for Kræsenhed og Blødagtighed, skal ikke unde sin Mand i sin Arm eller sin Søn eller sin Datter
Even the most gentle and sensitive/kind women among you, who are very refined/rich with the result that they have never had to walk anywhere [HYP], will do the same thing. When your enemies have surrounded your towns, those women will be extremely hungry, with the result that after they give birth to a baby, they will secretly [kill it and] eat its flesh and also eat its afterbirth. And they will not share any of it with their husbands whom they love very much or with any of their other children.
57 end ikke sit Efterbyrd, som er gaaet fra hende, eller sine Børn, som hun skal føde; thi hun skal æde dem i Skjul af Mangel paa alt, i Belejring og i Trang, hvormed din Fjende skal trænge dig inden dine Porte.
58 Dersom du ikke tager Vare paa at gøre efter alle denne Lovs Ord, som ere skrevne i denne Bog, saa at du frygter dette herlige og forfærdelige Navn, Herren din Gud:
“If you do not faithfully obey all of the laws that I am writing, and if you do not revere Yahweh our glorious God [MTY],
59 Da skal Herren vidunderligen sende Plager paa dig og Plager paa din Sæd, store og vedvarende Plager, og onde og vedvarende Sygdomme.
he will [punish you by] causing you and your descendants to experience great afflictions and plagues which will last for many years.
60 Og han skal gentage alle de ægyptiske Sygdomme over dig, hvilke du gruer for, og de skulle hænge ved dig.
He will cause you to experience the plagues that he sent on the people of Egypt, and you will never be healed.
61 Ja, al Sygdom og al Plage, som ikke er skreven i denne Lovs Bog, den skal Herren lade komme over dig, indtil du ødelægges.
He will also cause you to experience many other sicknesses and diseases that I have not talked about in these laws, until you all will die.
62 Og I skulle blive tilovers som en liden Hob, i det Sted, at I vare som Stjernerne paa Himmelen i Mangfoldighed, fordi du ikke hørte paa Herren din Guds Røst.
You became as numerous as the stars in the sky, but only a few of you will remain alive, if you do not obey Yahweh your God.
63 Og det skal ske, at ligesom Herren glædede sig over eder, ved at gøre vel imod eder og at formere eder, saaledes skal Herren glæde sig over eder, ved at fordærve eder og ødelægge eder; og I skulle udryddes af Landet, som du kommer hen til for at eje det.
Yahweh was very happy to do good things for you and to cause you to become very numerous, but now he will be happy to ruin you and get rid of you. [Those of] you [who do not die from these plagues] will be snatched away from the land that you will soon be entering to possess.
64 Og Herren skal adsprede dig iblandt alle Folk fra den ene Ende af Jorden til den anden Ende af Jorden; og der skal du tjene andre Guder, som hverken du eller dine Fædre kendte, Træ og Sten.
“Yahweh will scatter you among many people-groups, all over the earth, and in those areas/places you will serve other gods that are made of wood or stone, gods which you and your ancestors have never known/worshiped.
65 Og du skal ingen Rolighed have iblandt disse Folk, og din Fodsaale skal ingen Hvile have; og Herren skal give dig der et bævende Hjerte og hentærede Øjne og en bedrøvet Sjæl.
In those places you will be restless. Yahweh will cause you to be constantly worried/anxious, feel hopeless, and discouraged.
66 Og dit Liv skal hænge i et Haar for dig, og du skal ræddes Dag og Nat og ikke være sikker paa dit Liv.
You will always be afraid that your enemies will kill you. You will be very fearful, all day and all night.
67 Om Morgenen skal du sige: Gid det var Aften! og om Aftenen skal du sige: Gid det var Morgen! for dit Hjertes Rædsel, som du skal ræddes med, og for det Syn, dine Øjne skulle se.
Because you will be very fearful/afraid because of the [terrible] things that you see, each morning you will say ‘I wish it were evening already!’ and each evening you will say ‘I wish it were morning already!’
68 Og Herren skal føre dig tilbage til Ægypten igen paa Skibe ad den Vej, om hvilken jeg sagde dig: Du skal ikke ydermere se den; og der skulle I sælge eder selv til dine Fjender som Trælle og som Trælkvinder, og der skal ingen være, som vil købe.
Yahweh will send [some of] you back to Egypt in ships, even though he promised that you would never [be forced to] go there again. There in Egypt you will try to sell yourselves to become slaves of your enemies [in order to have food to eat], but no one will buy you. [All those things will happen to you if you do not obey the laws that Yahweh is giving to you].”
