< 5 Mosebog 9 >

1 Hør, Israel! du gaar i Dag over Jordanen for at gaa ind og tage til Eje Folk, som ere større og stærkere end du, Stæder, som ere store og faste indtil Himmelen,
Hear, Israel: you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,
2 et stort Folk og højt af Vækst, Anakiternes Børn, som du kender, og som du har hørt sige om: Hvo kan staa for Anaks Børns Ansigt?
a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, "Who can stand before the sons of Anak?"
3 Saa skal du vide i Dag, at Herren din Gud, han gaar frem for dit Ansigt, en fortærende Ild, han skal udslette dem, og han skal ydmyge dem for dit Ansigt; og du skal fordrive dem og ødelægge dem snarlig, saaledes som Herren har talet til dig.
Know therefore this day, that the LORD your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you: so you shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as the LORD has spoken to you.
4 Naar Herren din Gud har udstødt dem fra dit Ansigt, da skal du ikke sige i dit Hjerte: For min Retfærdigheds Skyld har Herren ført mig ind at eje dette Land; thi for disse Hedningers Ugudeligheds Skyld fordriver Herren dem for dit Ansigt.
Do not say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, "For my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land"; because the LORD drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.
5 Ikke for din Retfærdighed eller for dit Hjertes Oprigtighed kommer du ind for at eje deres Land, men for disse Hedningers Ugudeligheds Skyld fordriver Herren din Gud dem for dit Ansigt og for at stadfæste det Ord, som Herren svor dine Fædre, Abraham, Isak og Jakob.
Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
6 Saa skal du vide, at Herren din Gud ikke for din Retfærdigheds Skyld giver dig dette gode Land til Eje; thi du er et haardnakket Folk.
Know therefore, that the LORD your God doesn't give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.
7 Kom i Hu, glem ikke, at du fortørnede Herren din Gud i Ørken; fra; den Dag, du udgik af Ægyptens Land, indtil I ere komne til dette Sted, have I været genstridige imod Herren.
Remember, do not forget, how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you went forth out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.
8 Og I fortørnede Herren ved Horeb, og Herren blev vred paa eder, saa at han vilde have ødelagt eder.
Also in Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was angry with you to destroy you.
9 Da jeg var opgangen paa Bjerget at modtage Stentavlerne, den Pagts Tavler, hvilken Herren havde sluttet med eder, da blev jeg paa Bjerget fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter, jeg aad ikke Brød og drak ikke Vand;
When I was gone up onto the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant when the LORD made a covenant with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water.
10 og Herren gav mig de to Stentavler, skrevne med Guds Finger, og paa dem alle de Ord, som Herren talede med eder paa Bjerget midt ud af Ilden paa Forsamlingens Dag.
The LORD delivered to me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God; and on them were all the words which the LORD spoke with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
11 Og det skete, der de fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter havde Ende, da gav Herren mig to Stentavler, Pagtens Tavler.
It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant.
12 Og Herren sagde til mig: Gør dig rede, gak hastigen ned herfra; thi dit Folk, som du udførte af Ægypten, har handlet fordærveligt; de ere hastigen afvegne fra den Vej, som jeg bød dem, de have gjort sig et støbt Billede.
The LORD said to me, "Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image."
13 Og Herren sagde til mig: Jeg har set dette Folk, og se, det er et haardnakket Folk.
Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, "I have seen this people, and look, it is a stiff-necked people:
14 Lad af fra mig, og jeg vil ødelægge dem og udslette deres Navn fra at være under Himmelen; og jeg vil gøre dig til et stærkere og større Folk end dette.
let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they."
15 Og jeg vendte mig og gik ned ad Bjerget, og Bjerget brændte med Ild, og jeg havde de to Pagtens Tavler i begge mine Hænder.
So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire: and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
16 Og jeg saa, og se, I havde syndet imod Herren eders Gud, I havde gjort eder en støbt Kalv, I vare hastigen afvegne fra den Vej, som Herren havde budet eder.
I looked, and look, you had sinned against the LORD your God; you had made yourselves a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
17 Da tog jeg fat paa begge Tavlerne og kastede dem ud af begge mine Hænder, og jeg sønderbrød dem for eders Øjne.
I took hold of the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
18 Og jeg faldt ned for Herrens Ansigt som første Gang, fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter, jeg aad ikke Brød og drak ikke Vand, for alle eders Synders Skyld, som I syndede med, da I gjorde det onde for Herrens Øjne til at opirre ham.
I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water; because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
19 Thi jeg gruede for den brændende Vrede, med hvilken Herren var vred paa eder til at ødelægge eder; men Herren hørte mig ogsaa den Gang.
For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which the LORD was angry against you to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me that time also.
20 Men Herren blev ogsaa saare vred paa Aron, saa at han vilde ødelægge ham; men jeg bad og for Aron paa den samme Tid.
The LORD was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
21 Men eders Synd, den Kalv, som I havde gjort, tog jeg og opbrændte den med Ild og stødte den og malede den godt, indtil den blev til fint Støv, og jeg kastede dens Støv i Bækken, som flyder ned ad Bjerget.
I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.
22 Desligeste gjorde I Herren vred i Tabeera og i Massa og i Kibroth-Hattaava.
At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked the LORD to wrath.
23 Og da Herren sendte eder fra Kades-Barnea og sagde: Gaar op og indtager Landet, som jeg har givet eder, da vare I genstridige mod Herren eders Guds Mund og troede ikke paa ham og hørte ikke paa hans Røst.
When the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, "Go up and possess the land which I have given you"; then you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and you did not believe him, nor listen to his voice.
24 I have været genstridige mod Herren, saa længe som jeg har kendt eder.
You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
25 Da faldt jeg ned for Herrens Ansigt de fyrretyve Dage og de fyrretyve Nætter, i hvilke jeg faldt ned; thi Herren havde sagt, at han vilde ødelægge eder.
So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
26 Og jeg bad til Herren og sagde: Herre, Herre! ødelæg ikke dit Folk og din Arv, som du genløste med din store Kraft, og som du udførte af Ægypten med en stærk Haand.
I prayed to God, and said, "Lord GOD, do not destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27 Kom dine Tjenere, Abraham, Isak og Jakob i Hu, vend ikke dit Ansigt til dette Folks Haardhed og til dets Ugudelighed og til dets Synd,
Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin,
28 at Indbyggerne i det Land, af hvilket du udførte os, ikke skulle sige: Fordi Herren ikke kunde føre dem ind i det Land, som han havde tilsagt dem, og fordi han hadede dem, førte han dem ud at slaa dem ihjel i Ørken.
lest the land you brought us out from say, 'Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.'
29 Thi de ere dit Folk og din Arv, og du udførte dem med din store Kraft og med din udrakte Arm.
Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm."
