5 Mosebog 29

1 Disse ere den Pagts Ord, som Herren befalede Mose at gøre med Israels Børn i Moabs Land, foruden den Pagt, som han gjorde med dem ved Horeb.

These are the words of the covenant which the Lord instructed Moses to form with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, beside that covenant which he struck with them at Horeb.

2 Og Mose kaldte ad al Israel og sagde til dem: I have set alt det, som Herren gjorde for eders Øjne i Ægyptens Land ved Farao og alle hans Tjenere og ved hans ganske Land,

And Moses called all of Israel, and he said to them: “You have seen all the things that the Lord has done in your sight in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to his entire land:

3 de store Forsøgelser, som dine Øjne have set, de Tegn og de store underlige Ting.

the great trials, which your eyes have seen, those immense signs and wonders.

4 Men Herren har ikke givet eder Hjerte til at forstaa eller Øjne til at se med eller Øren til at høre med indtil denne Dag.

But the Lord has not given you an understanding heart, and seeing eyes, and ears that are able to hear, even to this present day.

5 Og fyrretyve Aar har jeg ladet eder vandre i Ørken; eders Klæder bleve ikke opslidte paa eder, og dine Sko bleve ikke opslidte paa din Fod.

He led you for forty years through the desert. Your garments have not been worn out, nor have the shoes on your feet been consumed by age.

6 I have ikke ædet Brød og ej drukket Vin eller stærk Drik, for at I skulle vide, at jeg er Herren eders Gud.

You did not eat bread, nor did you drink wine or liquor, so that you would know that I am the Lord your God.

7 Og der I kom til dette Sted, da uddrog Sihon, Kongen af Hesbon, og Og, Kongen af Basan, imod os til Krig, og vi sloge dem.

And you arrived at this place. And Sihon, the king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, went out to meet us in battle. And we struck them down.

8 Og vi indtoge deres Land, og vi gave Rubeniten og Gaditen og den halve Manasse Stamme det til Arv.

And we took their land and delivered it as a possession to Ruben and to Gad, and to half of the tribe of Manasseh.

9 Saa holder denne Pagts Ord og gører efter dem, at I kunne gøre viseligen alt det, som I skulle gøre.

Therefore, keep the words of this covenant, and fulfill them, so that you may understand all that you are doing.

10 I staa i Dag alle sammen for Herren eders Guds Ansigt, eders Øverster, eders Stammer, eders Ældste og eders Fogeder, hver Mand i Israel,

Today, you all stand in the sight of the Lord your God: your leaders, and tribes, and those greater by birth, and teachers, all the people of Israel,

11 eders smaa Børn, eders Hustruer og din fremmede, som er midt i dine Lejre, baade din Vedhugger og din Vanddrager,

your children and wives, and the new arrival who dwells with you in the camp, aside from those who cut wood, and those who bring water,

12 for at du skal træde over i Herren din Guds Pagt og i hans edelige Forbund, som Herren din Gud gør med dig i Dag;

so that you may cross into the covenant of the Lord your God, and into the oath which the Lord your God strikes with you today.

13 at han maa oprejse dig i Dag sig til et Folk, og han maa være dig til Gud, som han har talet til dig, og som han har tilsvoret dine Fædre, Abraham, Isak og Jakob.

So shall he raise you up as a people to himself, and so shall he be your God, just as he has spoken to you, and just as he swore to your fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

14 Og ikke med eder alene gør jeg denne Pagt og dette edelige Forbund,

And I am not forming this covenant and confirm these oaths with you alone,

15 men med den, som her er og staar i Dag med os for Herren vor Guds Ansigt, og med den, som ikke er her i Dag med os.

but with all those who are present as well as those who are absent.

16 Thi I vide, at vi boede i Ægyptens Land, og at vi droge midt igennem hos Hedningerne, hvor I droge igennem;

For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we passed through the midst of nations. And when passing through them,

17 og I saa deres Vederstyggeligheder og deres stygge Afguder: Træ og Sten, Sølv og Guld, som vare hos dem,

you saw their abominations and filth, that is, their idols of wood and of stone, of silver and of gold, which they worshipped,

18 for at der ikke skal være iblandt eder Mand eller Kvinde eller Slægt eller Stamme, som vender sit Hjerte i Dag fra Herren vor Gud til at gaa bort og tjene disse Hedningers Guder; at der ikke skal være en Rod iblandt eder, som bærer Gift og Malurt;

so that there would not be among you man or woman, family or tribe, whose heart has been turned away this day from the Lord our God, so as to go and serve the gods of those nations. For then there would be among you a root springing forth gall and bitterness.

19 og det skal ske, naar han hører denne Forbandelses Ord, han da velsigner sig i sit Hjerte og siger: Det skal gaa mig vel, endskønt jeg vandrer i mit Hjertets Stivhed, for at det vædede maa rives bort med det tørstige.

And if he were to hear the words of this oath, he would bless himself in his own heart saying: ‘There will be peace for me, and I will walk in the depravity of my heart.’ And so, the one who is inebriated would consume the one who is thirsty.

20 Herren vil ikke forlade ham det; thi Herrens Vrede og hans Nidkærhed skal da ryge imod denne Mand, saa al den Forbandelse, som er skreven i denne Bog, skal ligge paa ham, og Herren skal udslette hans Navn under Himmelen,

But the Lord would not ignore him. Instead, at that time, his fury and zealousness would be very greatly enflamed against that man, and all the curses which have been written in this volume would settle upon him. And the Lord would abolish his name from under heaven,

21 og Herren skal fraskille ham til det onde fra alle Israels Stammer, efter al den Pagts Forbandelser, som er skreven i denne Lovbog.

and consume him unto perdition out of all the tribes of Israel, according to the curses which are contained in the book of this law and in the covenant.

22 Og den følgende Slægt skal sige, ja eders Børn, som skulle opstaa efter eder, og den fremmede, som skal komme fra et langt bortliggende Land, naar de se dette Lands Plager og de Sygdomme, med hvilke Herren har hjemsøgt det,

And the subsequent generation would speak out, along with the sons who will be born afterward. And the sojourners, who will arrive from far away, will see the plagues of that land and the infirmities with which the Lord will have afflicted it,

23 Svovl og Salt, Brand over hele Landet, saa at det ikke kan besaas, ej heller give Grøde, og ingen Urt kan opvokse derudi, ligesom Sodoma og Gomorra, Adma og Zeboim bleve omkastede, hvilke Herren omkastede i sin Vrede og i sin Hastighed;

having burned it with sulphur and molten salt, so that it can no longer be sown. And certainly no greenery would spring up, as in the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord overturned with his wrath and fury.

24 ja, da skulle alle Folk sige: Hvorfor har Herren gjort saaledes imod dette Land? hvad er dette for en stor brændende Vrede?

And so, all the nations would say: ‘Why has the Lord acted this way toward this land? What is this immense wrath of his fury?’

25 Da skal man sige: Fordi de have forladt Herrens, deres Fædres Guds, Pagt, som han gjorde med dem, der han udførte dem af Ægyptens Land;

And they will respond: ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, which he formed with their fathers, when he led them away from the land of Egypt.

26 og de gik bort og tjente andre Guder og tilbade dem, de Guder, som de ikke kendte, og som han ikke havde tildelt dem:

And they have served foreign gods, and adored them, though they did not know them, and though they had not been allotted to them.

27 Derfor er Herrens Vrede optændt imod dette Land, saa at han har ført al den Forbandelse over det, som er skrevet i denne Bog,

For this reason, the fury of the Lord was enraged against this land, so as to lead over it all the curses which have been written in this volume.

28 og Herren har oprykket dem af deres Land i Vrede og i Hastighed og i stor Fortørnelse og bortkastet dem til et andet Land, som det ses paa denne Dag;

And he has cast them out of their own land, with anger and fury, and with a very great indignation, and he has thrown them into a strange land, just as has been proven this day.’

29 de skjulte Ting ere for Herren vor Gud; men de aabenbare ere for os og for vore Børn evindeligen, at vi skulle gøre efter alle denne Lovs Ord.

These hidden things of the Lord our God have been revealed to us and to our sons in perpetuity, so that we may accomplish all the words of this law.”
