5 Mosebog 31
1 Og Mose gik frem og talede disse Ord til al Israel.
And so, Moses went out, and he spoke all these words to all of Israel.
2 Og han sagde til dem: Jeg er i Dag hundrede og tyve Aar gammel, jeg kan ikke ydermere gaa ud og gaa ind, og Herren har sagt til mig: Du skal (ikke gaa over denne Jordan.
And he said to them: “Today, I am one hundred and twenty years old. I am no longer able to go out and return, especially since the Lord has also said to me, ‘You shall not cross this Jordan.’
3 Herren din Gud, han gaar over for dit Ansigt, han skal ødelægge disse Folk for dit Ansigt, at du skal eje dem; Josva han skal gaa over for dit Ansigt, som Herren har talet.
Therefore, the Lord your God will go across before you. He himself will abolish all these nations in your sight, and you shall possess them. And this man Joshua shall go across before you, just as the Lord has spoken.
4 Og Herren skal gøre ved dem, som han gjorde imod Sihon og imod Og, de Amoriters Konger, og imod deres Land, hvilket han ødelagde.
And the Lord will do to them just as he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, and he will wipe them away.
5 Og naar Herren giver dem hen for eders Ansigt, da skulle I gøre ved dem efter hvert Bud, som jeg har budet eder.
Therefore, when the Lord will have delivered these to you also, you shall act similarly toward them, just as I have instructed you.
6 Værer frimodige og værer stærke, frygter ikke og forfærdes ikke for deres Ansigt; thi Herren din Gud, han er den, som vandrer med dig, han slipper dig ikke og forlader dig ikke.
Act manfully and be strengthened. Do not be afraid, and do not dread at the sight of them. For the Lord your God himself is your commander, and he will neither dismiss nor abandon you.”
7 Og Mose kaldte Josva og sagde til ham for hele Israels Øjne: Vær frimodig og vær stærk, thi du skal indgaa med dette Folk i det Land, som Herren tilsvor deres Fædre at give dem; og du skal dele det til Arv imellem dem.
And Moses called Joshua, and, before all of Israel, he said to him: ‘Be strong and valiant. For you shall lead this people into the land which the Lord swore that he would give to their fathers, and you shall divide it by lot.
8 Og Herren, han som gaar for dit Ansigt, skal være med dig, han skal ikke slippe dig og ikke forlade dig; frygt ikke og vær ikke ræd!
And the Lord, who is your commander, will himself be with you. He will neither renounce nor abandon you. Do not be afraid, and do not dread.”
9 Og Mose skrev denne Lov og gav den til Præsterne, Levi Sønner, som bare Herrens Pagts Ark, og til alle de Ældste af Israel.
And so, Moses wrote this law, and he handed it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel.
10 Og Mose bød dem og sagde: Naar syv Aar ere til Ende, paa Henstandsaarets bestemte Tid, paa Løvsalernes Højtid,
And he instructed them, saying: “After seven years, in the year of remission, at the solemnity of the Feast of Tabernacles,
11 naar al Israel kommer at lade sig se for Herren din Guds Ansigt paa det Sted, som han skal udvælge, da skal du udraabe denne Lov for al Israel, for deres Øren.
when all of Israel has convened in order to appear in the sight of the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord will choose, you shall read the words of this law before all of Israel, in their hearing.
12 Lad samle Folket, Mændene og Kvinderne og smaa Børn og din fremmede, som er inden dine Porte, at de maa høre, og at de maa lære og frygte Herren eders Gud og tage Vare paa at gøre efter alle Ordene i denne Lov;
And when the people have gathered together, men as well as women and little children, and the new arrivals who are within your gates, they shall listen so that they may learn, and may fear the Lord your God, and may keep and fulfill all the words of this law,
13 og at deres Børn, som ikke kende det, skulle høre og lære at frygte Herren eders Gud alle de Dage, som I leve i det Land, hvorhen I drage over Jordanen til at eje det.
and also so that their sons, who are now ignorant, may be able to listen, and may fear the Lord their God all the days that they live in the land to which you will travel, crossing the Jordan in order to obtain it.”
14 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Se, dine Dage ere komne nær, at du skal dø; kald Josva og fremstiller eder ved Forsamlingens Paulun, saa vil jeg give ham Befaling; og Mose og Josva gik, og de fremstillede sig ved Forsamlingens Paulun.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, the days of your death draw near. Call Joshua, and stand in the tabernacle of the testimony, so that I may instruct him.” Therefore, Moses and Joshua went and stood in the tabernacle of the testimony.
15 Og Herren lod sig se i Paulunet i en Skystøtte, og Skystøtten stod over Paulunets Dør.
And the Lord appeared there, in a pillar of cloud, which stood at the entrance of the tabernacle.
16 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Se, du skal ligge med dine Fædre; og dette Folk skal staa op og bole efter de fremmede Guder i det Land, i hvis Midte det gaar hen, og forlade mig og tilintetgøre min Pagt, som jeg har gjort med det.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will rise up and will fornicate after foreign gods, in the land which they will enter so that they may live in it. In that place, they will forsake me, and they will make void the covenant that I have formed with them.
17 Og min Vrede skal optændes imod det paa den samme Dag, og jeg skal forlade dem og skjule mit Ansigt for dem, saa at de skulle blive fortærede, og mangfoldige Ulykker og Angster skulle ramme det; og det skal sige paa den samme Dag: Have ikke disse onde Ting rammet mig, fordi min Gud ikke er midt iblandt mig?
And my fury will be enraged against them in that day. And I will abandon them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured. Every evil and affliction will find them, so much so that they will say in that day: ‘Truly, it is because God is not with me that these evils have found me.’
18 og jeg vil skjule mit Ansigt paa den samme Dag for alt det ondes Skyld, som det har gjort; thi det har vendt sit Ansigt til andre Guder.
But I will hide myself, and I will conceal my face in that day, because of all the evils that they have done, because they have followed strange gods.
19 Saa skriver eder nu denne Sang, og lær Israels Børn den, læg den i deres Mund, for at denne Sang maa være mig til et Vidne imod Israels Børn.
And so, write this canticle now, and teach it to the sons of Israel, so that they may retain it in memory, and may chant it by mouth, and so that this verse may be a testimony to me among the sons of Israel.
20 Thi jeg vil føre det ind i Landet, som jeg tilsvor dets Fædre, hvilket flyder med Mælk og Honning, og det skal æde og mættes og fede sig; og det skal vende sit Ansigt til andre Guder, og de skulle tjene dem og opirre mig, og de skulle gøre min Pagt til intet.
For I will lead them into the land, about which I swore to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey. And when they have eaten, and have been satiated and fattened, they will turn aside to foreign gods, and they will serve them. And they will disparage me, and they will nullify my covenant.
21 Og det skal ske, naar mangfoldige Ulykker og Angster ramme det, da skal denne Sang lyde imod det som et Vidne, thi den skal ikke glemmes af dets Afkoms Mund; thi jeg kender dets Tanke, som det denne Dag omgaas med, førend jeg fører det ind i Landet, som jeg har svoret.
And after many evils and afflictions have overwhelmed them, this canticle will answer them as a testimony; it shall never pass into oblivion, away from the mouths of their offspring. For I know their thoughts and what they are about to do today, even before I lead them into the land which I have promised to them.”
22 Saa skrev Mose denne Sang paa den samme Dag, og han lærte Israels Børn den.
Therefore, Moses wrote the canticle, and he taught it to the sons of Israel.
23 Og han bød Josva, Nuns Søn, og sagde: Vær frimodig og vær stærk; thi du skal føre Israels Børn ind i det Land, som jeg har tilsvoret dem; og jeg vil være med dig.
And the Lord instructed Joshua, the son of Nun, and he said: “Be strong and valiant. For you shall lead the sons of Israel into the land which I have promised, and I will be with you.”
24 Og det skete, der Mose havde fuldendt at skrive denne Lovs Ord i en Bog, indtil Enden,
Therefore, after Moses had written the words of this law in a volume, and had finished it,
25 da bød Mose Leviterne, som bare Herrens Pagts Ark, og sagde:
he instructed the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying:
26 Tager denne Lovs Bog og lægger den ved Siden af Herren eders Guds Pagts Ark, og den skal være der til et Vidne imod dig.
“Take this book, and place it inside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, so that it may be there as a testimony against you.
27 Thi jeg kender din Genstridighed og din haarde Nakke; se, medens jeg endnu lever hos eder i Dag, have I været genstridige imod Herren, og hvor meget mere da efter min Død.
For I know your contentiousness and your very stiff neck. Even while I am still living and entering with you, you have always acted with contention against the Lord. How much more so when I will be dead?
28 Forsamler til mig alle de ældste af eders Stammer og eders Fogeder, saa vil jeg tale disse Ord for deres Øren, og jeg vil tage Himmelen og Jorden til Vidne imod dem.
Gather to me all those greater by birth throughout your tribes, as well as your teachers, and I will speak these words in their hearing, and I will call heaven and earth as witnesses against them.
29 Thi jeg ved, at efter min Død ville I vist handle fordærveligt og afvige fra den Vej, som jeg har budet eder, saa skal det onde møde eder i de sidste Dage, naar I gøre det onde for Herrens Øjne til at opirre ham med eders Hænders Gerning.
For I know that, after my death, you will act with iniquity, and you will quickly depart from the way that I have instructed to you. And so, evils will meet you in the end time, when you will have done evil in the sight of the Lord so as to provoke him through the works of your hands.”
30 Saa talede Mose denne Sangs Ord for al Israels Forsamlings Øren indtil Enden.
Thus did Moses speak, in the hearing of the entire assembly of Israel, the words of this canticle, and he completed it to its very end.
