5 Mosebog 32
1 Hører til, I Himle! og jeg vil tale, og Jorden høre min Munds Ord!
Attend, O heaven, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words out of my mouth.
2 Min Lærdom skal dryppe som Regnen, min Tale skal flyde som Duggen, som Støvregnen paa Græs og som Regndraaber paa Urter;
Let my speech be looked for as the rain, and my words come down as dew, as the shower upon the herbage, and as snow upon the grass.
3 thi jeg vil prædike om Herrens Navn: Giver vor Gud Ære!
For I have called on the name of the Lord: assign you greatness to our God.
4 Han er Klippen, hans Gerning er fuldkommen, thi alle hans Veje ere Ret; Gud er Trofasthed og uden Svig; han er retfærdig og oprigtig.
[As for God], his works [are] true, and all his ways [are] judgment: God [is] faithful, and there is no unrighteousness [in him]; just and holy [is] the Lord.
5 Det har fordærvet sig for ham, det er ikke hans Børn, det er deres Skændsel, — en forvendt og vanartet Slægt.
They have sinned, not [pleasing] him; spotted children, a froward and perverse generation.
6 Skulle I gengælde Herren saaledes, du daarlige og uvise Folk? er han ikke din Fader, som har købt dig? han skabte dig og beredte dig.
Do you thus recompense the Lord? [is the] people thus foolish and unwise? did not he himself your father purchase you, and make you, and form you?
7 Kom i Hu de gamle Dage, betragter Aarene fra Slægt til Slægt; spørg din Fader, og han skal kundgøre dig det, og dine Ældste, og de skulle sige dig det.
Remember the days of old, consider the years for past ages: ask your father, and he shall relate to you, your elders, and they shall tell you.
8 Der den Højeste uddelte Arv iblandt Folkene, der han adskilte Menneskenes Børn, da satte han Folkenes Landemærker efter Israels Børns Tal.
When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God.
9 Thi Herrens Del er hans Folk; Jakob er hans Arvelod.
And his people Jacob became the portion of the Lord, Israel was the line of his inheritance.
10 Han fandt ham i et øde Land og paa tomme Steder, blandt Ørkens Hyl; han værnede om ham, han underviste ham, han bevarede ham som sin Øjesten.
He maintained him in the wilderness, in burning thirst and a dry land: he led him about and instructed him, and kept him as the apple of an eye.
11 Som en Ørn, der opvækker sin Rede, svæver over sine Unger, saa udbredte han sine Vinger, tog ham, bar ham paa sine Slagfjedre.
As an eagle would watch over his brood, and yearns over his young, receives them having spread his wings, and takes them up on his back:
12 Herren alene ledede ham, og der var ingen fremmed Gud med ham.
the Lord alone led them, there was no strange god with them.
13 Han lod ham fare frem over Jordens Høje, at han aad Markens Grøde, og han lod ham suge Honning af Klippen og Olie af den haarde Sten;
He brought them up on the strength of the land; he fed them with the fruits of the fields; they sucked honey out of the rock, and oil out of the solid rock.
14 han gav ham Smør af Køer og Mælk af Faar med Fedme af Lam og Vædre, fødte i Basan, og Bukke med Hvedens fedeste Marv; og Druens Blod drak du som Vin.
Butter of cows, and milk of sheep, with the fat of lambs and rams, of calves and kids, with fat of kidneys of wheat; and he drank wine, the blood of the grape.
15 Men der Jeskurun blev fed, da slog han ud — du blev fed, blev tyk, fik Huld — og han forlod Gud, som havde skabt ham, og ringeagtede sin Frelses Klippe.
So Jacob ate and was filled, and the beloved one kicked; he grew fat, he became thick and broad: then he forsook the God that made him, and departed from God his Saviour.
16 De gjorde ham nidkær ved fremmede Guder; med Vederstyggeligheder opirrede de ham.
They provoked me to anger with strange gods; with their abominations they bitterly angered me.
17 De ofrede til de Magter, som ikke ere Gud, til Guder, som de ikke kendte, til de nye, som vare opkomne for nylig, hvilke eders Fædre ikke frygtede.
They sacrificed to devils, and not to God; to gods whom they knew not: new and fresh [gods] came in, whom their fathers knew not.
18 Den Klippe, som avlede dig, glemte du, og Gud, som fødte dig, slog du af Tanke.
You have forsaken God that begot you, and forgotten God who feeds you.
19 Og Herren saa det og blev vred af Fortørnelse over sine Sønner og sine Døtre.
And the Lord saw, and was jealous; and was provoked by the anger of his sons and daughters,
20 Og han sagde: Jeg vil skjule mit Ansigt for dem, jeg vil se, hvad Ende det tager med dem; thi en forvendt Slægt ere de, Børn, i hvilke der ikke er Troskab.
and said, I will turn away my face from them, and will show what shall happen to them in the last days; for it is a perverse generation, sons in whom is no faith.
21 De gjorde mig nidkær ved det, som ikke er Gud, de opirrede mig ved deres Afguder, og jeg vil gøre dem nidkære ved det, som ikke er et Folk, ved et daarligt Folk vil jeg opirre dem.
They have provoked me to jealousy with [that which is] not God, they have exasperated me with their idols; and I will provoke them to jealousy with them that are no nation, I will anger them with a nation void of understanding.
22 Thi Ild er optændt i min Vrede, og den brænder til Helvedes Dyb, og den fortærer Landet og dets Grøde og stikker Ild paa Bjergenes Grundvold. (Sheol h7585)
For a fire has been kindled out of my wrath, it shall burn to hell below; it shall devour the land, and the fruits of it; it shall set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Jeg vil hobe Ulykker sammen over dem; jeg vil opbruge mine Pile imod dem.
I will gather evils upon them, and will fight with my weapons against them.
24 De skulle udmagres af Hunger og fortæres af hidsig Sygdom og bitter Sot; og jeg vil sende Rovdyrs Tænder imod dem, med Gift fra Støvets Kryb.
[They shall be] consumed with hunger and the devouring of birds, and there shall be irremediable destruction: I will send forth against them the teeth of wild beasts, with the rage of [serpents] creeping on the ground.
25 Udenfor skal Sværd og i Kamrene skal Forfærdelse bortrøve dem, baade unge Karle og Jomfruer, det diende Barn med den graahærdede Mand.
Without, the sword shall bereave them of children, and terror [shall issue] out of the secret chambers; the young man shall perish with the virgin, the suckling with him who has grown old.
26 Jeg havde sagt: Jeg vil adsprede dem, jeg vil udslette deres Ihukommelse iblandt Menneskene,
I said, I will scatter them, and I will cause their memorial to cease from among men.
27 dersom jeg ikke befrygtede at blive opirret af Fjenden, at deres Fjender skulde miskende det og sige: Vor Haand er høj, og Herren har ikke gjort alt dette.
Were it not for the wrath of the enemy, lest they should live long, lest their enemies should combine against them; lest they should say, Our own high arm, and not the Lord, has done all these things.
28 Thi de ere et raadvildt Folk, og der er ikke Forstand i dem.
It is a nation that has lost counsel, neither is there understanding in them.
29 Gid de vare vise, saa vilde de have Forstand paa dette, de vilde betænke, hvad Ende det vilde tage med dem.
They had not sense to understand: let them reserve these things against the time to come.
30 Hvorledes skulde een forfølge Tusinde, og to slaa ti Tusinde paa Flugt, dersom ikke deres Klippe havde solgt dem, og Herren havde overantvordet dem?
How should one pursue a thousand, and two rout tens of thousands, if God had not sold them, and the Lord delivered them up?
31 Thi deres Klippe er ikke som vor Klippe, selv naar vore Fjender ere Dommere.
For their gods are not as our God, but our enemies [are] void of understanding.
32 Thi deres Vintræ er af Sodomas Vintræ og af Gomorras Agre; deres Druer ere Giftdruer, de have beske Klaser.
For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and their vine-branch of Gomorrha: their grape [is] a grape of gall, their cluster [is] one of bitterness.
33 Deres Vin er Dragegift og grum Øgleedder.
Their wine [is] the rage of serpents, and the incurable rage of asps.
34 Er det ikke gemt hos mig? lagt under Segl i mine Skatkamre?
Behold! are not these things stored up by me, and sealed among my treasures?
35 Hævnen og Betalingen hører mig til paa den Tid, da deres Fod skal snuble; thi deres Ulykkes Dag er nær, og hvad der er beredt for dem, skal komme hastelig.
In the day of vengeance I will recompense, whenever their foot shall be tripped up; for the day of their destruction [is] near to them, and the judgments at hand are close upon you.
36 Thi Herren skal dømme sit Folk, og han vil forbarme sig over sine Tjenere, naar han ser, at deres Magt er borte, og at det er forbi baade med den bundne og den løsladte.
For the Lord shall judge his people, and shall be comforted over his servants; for he saw that they were utterly weakened, and failed in the hostile invasion, and were become feeble:
37 Og han skal sige: Hvor ere deres Guder, den Klippe, som de forlode sig paa,
and the Lord said, Where are their gods on whom they trusted?
38 de, som skulle æde deres Slagtofres Fedt, og som skulle drikke deres Drikofres Vin? Lader dem staa op og hjælpe eder, at der kan være et Skjul over eder!
the fat of whose sacrifices you ate, and you drank the wine of their drink-offerings? let them arise and help you, and be your protectors.
39 Ser nu, at jeg er, og der er ingen Gud ved Siden af mig; jeg døder og gør levende, jeg saarer og jeg læger, og der er ingen, som redder af min Haand.
Behold, behold that I am [he], and there is no god beside me: I kill, and I will make to live: I will strike, and I will heal; and there is none who shall deliver out of my hands.
40 Thi jeg opløfter min Haand til Himmelen og siger: Jeg, jeg lever evindeligen.
For I will lift up my hand to heaven, and swear by my right hand, and I will say, I live for ever.
41 Naar jeg skærper mit Sværds Lyn, og min Haand griber til Retten, da vil jeg lade Hævnen komme tilbage over mine Fjender, og jeg vil betale dem, som mig hade.
For I will sharpen my sword like lightning, and my hand shall take hold of judgment; and I will render judgment to my enemies, and will recompense them that hate me.
42 Jeg vil gøre mine Pile drukne af Blod, og mit Sværd skal æde Kød, af den ihjelslagnes og fangnes Blod, af Fjendens Fyrsters Hoved.
I will make my weapons drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh, [it shall glut itself] with the blood of the wounded, and from the captivity of the heads of [their] enemies that rule over them.
43 Fryder eder, I Hedninger, over hans Folk! thi han skal hævne sine Tjeneres Blod og lade Hævnen komme tilbage over sine Fjender og sone sit Land, sit Folk.
Rejoice, you heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him; rejoice you Gentiles, with his people, and let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in him; for he will avenge the blood of his sons, and he will render vengeance, and recompense justice to his enemies, and will reward them that hate him; and the Lord shall purge the land of his people.
44 Og Mose kom og talede alle Ordene af denne Sang for Folkets Øren, han og Hosea, Nuns Søn.
And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel; and Moses went in and spoke all the words of this law in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the [son] of Naue.
45 Og da Mose havde fuldendt at tale alle disse Ord til al Israel,
And Moses finished speaking to all Israel.
46 sagde han til dem: Lægger alle de Ord paa eders Hjerte, som jeg vidner for eder i Dag, hvilke I skulle byde eders Børn at tage Vare paa, saa at de gøre efter alle denne Lovs Ord.
And he said to them, Take heed with your heart to all these words, which I testify to you this day, which you shall command your sons, to observe and do all the words of this law.
47 Thi det er ikke et ørkesløst Ord for eder; thi det er eders Liv; og ved dette Ord skulle I forlænge eders Dage i det Land, til hvilket I drage over Jordanen for at eje det.
For this [is] no vain word to you; for it [is] your life, and because of this word you shall live long upon the land, into which you go over Jordan to inherit it.
48 Og Herren talede til Mose paa samme Dag og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses in this day, saying,
49 Gak op paa dette Abarims Bjerg, paa Nebo Bjerg, som er i Moabs Land, som er lige for Jeriko, og bese det Land Kanaan, hvilket jeg giver Israels Børn til Ejendom,
Go up to the mount Abarim, this mountain Nabau which is in the land of Moab over against Jericho, and behold the land of Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel:
50 og dø paa det Bjerg, som du skal stige op paa, og bliv samlet til dine Folk, ligesom Aron din Broder døde paa det Bjerg Hor og blev samlet til sine Folk,
and die in the mount whither you go up, and be added to your people; as Aaron your brother died in mount Or, and was added to his people.
51 fordi I forgrebe eder imod mig midt iblandt Israels Børn ved Meribas Vand i Kades, i den Ørk Zin, fordi I ikke helligede mig midt iblandt Israels Børn.
Because you disobeyed my word among the children of Israel, at the waters of strife of Cades in the wilderness of Sin; because you sanctified me not among the sons of Israel.
52 Thi du skal bese Landet tværs over fra, men du skal ikke komme derhen, ind i det Land, som jeg giver Israels Børn.
You shall see the land before [you], but you shall not enter into it.
