5 Mosebog 1
1 Disse ere de Ord, som Mose har talet til al Israel paa hin Side Jordanen, i Ørken paa den slette Mark, over for Suf, imellem Paran og imellem Tofel og Laban og Hazeroth og Di-Sahab,
These are the words which Moses [Drawn out] spoke to all Israel [God prevails] beyond the Jordan [Descender] in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suf, between Paran, Tophel, Laban [White], Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 elleve Dages Rejse fra Horeb til Seirs Bjerge, indtil Kades-Barnea.
It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb [Desert] by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea [Consecrated Son-inconstant].
3 Og det skete i det fyrretyvende Aar, i den ellevte Maaned, paa den første Dag i Maaneden, da talede Mose til Israels Børn, efter alt det som Herren havde budet ham til dem,
In the fortieth year, in the eleventh month Shevat ·Staff / Rod / Royal scepter·, on the first day of the month, Moses [Drawn out] spoke to the children of Israel [God prevails], according to all that Adonai had given Moses [Drawn out], words of enjoinings to them;
4 efter at han havde slaaet Sihon, Amoriternes Konge, som boede i Hesbon, og Og, Kongen af Basan, som boede i Astharoth ved Edrei.
after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.
5 Paa hin Side Jordanen i Moabiternes Land begyndte Mose at udlægge denne Lov og sagde:
Beyond the Jordan [Descender], in the land of Moab [From father], Moses [Drawn out] began to declare this Torah ·Teaching·, saying,
6 Herren vor Gud talede til os ved Horeb og sagde: I have længe nok været ved dette Bjerg.
“Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] spoke to us in Horeb [Desert], saying, ‘You have lived long enough at this mountain.
7 Vender om og rejser, og drager til Amoriternes Bjerg, og til alle deres Naboer paa den slette Mark, paa Bjergene og i Lavlandet, og i Sønden og ved Havets Strand; til Kananiternes Land og til Libanon, indtil den store Flod, den Flod Frat.
Turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], and to all the places near there, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the seashore, the land of the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled], and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates [Fruitful].
8 Se, jeg har givet det Land for eders Ansigt; kommer og indtager det Land, som Herren har tilsvoret eders Fædre, Abraham, Isak og Jakob at give dem og deres Sæd efter dem.
Behold, I have set the land before you. Go in and possess the land which Adonai swore to your fathers, to Abraham [Father of a multitude], to Isaac [Laughter], and to Jacob [Supplanter], to give to them and to their offspring after them.’”
9 Da talede jeg til eder paa den samme Tid og sagde: Jeg kan ikke ene bære eder.
I spoke to you at that time, saying, “I am not able to bear you myself alone.
10 Herren eders Gud har gjort eder mangfoldige, og se, I ere i Dag som Stjernerne paa Himmelen i Mangfoldighed.
Adonai your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as the stars of the sky for multitude.
11 Herren eders Fædres Gud lægge tusinde Gange flere til eder, end I ere, og han velsigne eder, som han har sagt eder!
Adonai, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!
12 Hvorledes kan jeg ene bære eders Besvær og eders Byrde og eders Trætte?
How can I myself alone bear your problems, your burdens, and your strife?
13 Forskaffer mig vise og forstandige og forsøgte Mænd af eders Stammer, og jeg vil sætte dem til Høvedsmænd over eder.
Take wise men of understanding and well known according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.”
14 Da svarede I mig og sagde: Det er en god Ting, som du siger, at du vil gøre.
You answered me, and said, “The thing which you have spoken is good to do.”
15 Saa tog jeg eders Stammers Høvedsmænd, vise og forsøgte Mænd, og satte dem til Høvedsmænd over eder: Til Øverster over Tusinder og Øverster over Hundreder og Øverster over halvtredssindstyve og Øverster over ti og til Fogeder for eders Stammer.
So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.
16 Og jeg bød eders Dommere paa samme Tid og sagde: Hører Sagerne imellem eders Brødre og dømmer med Retfærdighed imellem en Mand og hans Broder og imellem den fremmede hos ham.
I enjoined your judges at that time, saying, “Sh'ma ·Hear obey· cases between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him.
17 I skulle i Dommen ikke anse Personen, I skulle høre den mindste med den største, I skulle ikke frygte for nogen, thi Dommen hører Gud til; men den Sag, som bliver eder for svar, lader den komme frem til mig, saa vil jeg høre den.
You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall sh'ma ·hear obey· the small and the great alike. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will sh'ma ·hear obey· it.”
18 Da bød jeg eder paa samme Tid alt, hvad I skulle gøre.
I enjoined you at that time all the things which you should do.
19 Saa rejste vi fra Horeb og gik igennem hele den store og forfærdelige Ørk, hvilken I saa, ad Vejen til Amoritens Bjerg, som Herren vor Gud befalede os; og vi kom til Kades-Barnea.
We traveled from Horeb [Desert], and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], as Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] enjoined us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea [Consecrated Son-inconstant].
20 Da sagde jeg til eder: I ere komne til Amoritens Bjerg, hvilket Herren vor Gud vil give os.
I said to you, “You have come to the hill country of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], which Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] gives to us.
21 Se, Herren din Gud har givet det Land for dit Ansigt; drag op, indtag det, som Herren dine Fædres Gud har sagt dig, frygt ikke og ræddes ikke.
Behold, Adonai your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as Adonai, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you. Don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed.”
22 Da kom I alle frem til mig og sagde: Lader os sende Mænd for vort Ansigt, som kunne udforske os Landet, og de skulle bringe os Svar om, ad hvilken Vej vi skulle drage op, og om de Stæder, som vi skulle komme til.
You came near to me, everyone of you, and said, “Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.”
23 Og de Ord behagede mig, saa jeg tog tolv Mænd af eder, een Mand for hver Stamme.
The thing pleased me well. I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe.
24 Og de vendte sig og droge op paa Bjerget og kom til Eskols Bæk, og de bespejdede det.
They turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
25 Og de toge i deres Haand af Landets Frugt og førte ned til os, og de bragte os Svar og sagde: Det er et godt Land, som Herren vor Gud har givet os.
They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, “It is a good land which Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] gives to us.”
26 Men I vilde ikke drage op, og I vare genstridige mod Herren eders Guds Mund.
Yet you wouldn’t go up, but rebelled against the order of Adonai your God.
27 Og I knurrede i eders Telte og sagde: Fordi Herren hader os, har han udført os af Ægyptens Land, for at give os i Amoriternes Haand til at ødelægge os.
You murmured in your tents, and said, “Because Adonai hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], to destroy us.
28 Hvorhen skulle vi drage op? Vore Brødre have mistrøstet vort Hjerte og sagt: Det Folk er større og højere end vi, Stæderne ere store og befæstede op imod Himmelen, dertil med have vi ogsaa set Anakiternes Børn der.
Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart melt, saying, ‘The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to the sky. Moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there!’”
29 Da sagde jeg til eder: Lader eder ikke forfærde og frygter ej for dem!
Then I said to you, “Don’t dread, neither be afraid of them.
30 Herren eders Gud, som gaar foran eders Ansigt, han skal stride for eder, ganske som han gjorde med eder i Ægypten for eders Øjne,
Adonai your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt [Abode of slavery] before your eyes,
31 og i Ørken, som du har set, hvor Herren din Gud har baaret dig, ligesom en Mand bærer sin Søn; paa hele den Vej, som I have vandret, indtil I ere komne til dette Sted.
and in the wilderness, where you have seen how that Adonai your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place.”
32 Men uagtet dette Ord troede I ikke paa Herren eders Gud,
Yet in this thing you didn’t trust Adonai your God,
33 han, som gik for eders Ansigt paa Vejen at opsøge for eder Stedet, hvor I skulde lejre eder, i en Ild om Natten, for at vise eder Vejen, som I skulde gaa paa, og i en Sky om Dagen.
who went before you on the way, to seek out a place for you to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.
34 Der Herren hørte eders Ords Røst, da blev han vred og svor og sagde:
Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,
35 Der skal ingen af disse Mænd, af denne onde Slægt, se det gode Land, som jeg svor at ville give eders Fædre,
“Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,
36 uden Kaleb, Jefunne Søn; han skal se det, og ham og hans Børn vil jeg give det Land, som han har traadt paa, fordi han har fuldkommeligen efterfulgt Herren.
except Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it. I will give the land that he has trodden on to him, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Adonai.”
37 Herren blev endog vred paa mig for eders Skyld, og sagde: Du skal ikke heller komme derind.
Also Adonai was angry with me for your sakes, saying, “You also shall not go in there.
38 Josva, Nuns Søn, som staar for dit Ansigt, han skal komme derhen; styrk ham, thi han skal dele det til Arv iblandt Israel.
Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun, who stands before you, shall go in there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel [God prevails] to inherit it.
39 Og eders smaa Børn, om hvilke I sagde: De skulle blive til Rov, og eders Sønner, som ikke paa denne Dag forstaa godt eller ondt, de skulle komme derind, og jeg vil give dem det, og de skulle arve det.
Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be captured or killed, and your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and I will give it to, and they shall possess it.
40 Men I, vender eder og rejser til Ørken ad Vejen til det røde Hav.
But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea].”
41 Da svarede I og sagde til mig: Vi have syndet imod Herren, vi ville drage op og stride, ganske som Herren vor Gud befalede os; og I bandt om eder, hver sine Krigsvaaben, og vare letsindige til at drage op paa Bjerget.
Then you answered and said to me, “We have sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)· against Adonai, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] enjoined us.” Every man of you put on his weapons of war, and presumed to go up into the hill country.
42 Da sagde Herren til mig: Sig dem, I skulle ikke drage op, og I skulle ikke stride, thi jeg er ikke midt iblandt eder; at I ikke skulle blive slagne for eders Fjenders Ansigt.
Adonai said to me, “Tell them, ‘Don’t go up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest you be struck before your enemies.’”
43 Der jeg sagde eder det, da vilde I ikke høre mig; og I vare genstridige imod Herrens Mund, og formastede eder hovmodeligen og droge op paa Bjerget.
So I spoke to you, and you didn’t sh'ma ·hear obey·; but you rebelled against the order of Adonai, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill country.
44 Da droge Amoriterne, som boede paa det samme Bjerg, ud imod eder, og de forfulgte eder, saaledes som Bier gøre, og de knusede eder i Seir, lige til Horma.
The Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], who lived in that hill country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.
45 Der I kom tilbage og græd for Herrens Ansigt, da hørte Herren ikke paa eders Røst og bøjede ikke Øret til eder.
You made teshuvah ·complete return· and wept before Adonai; but Adonai didn’t sh'ma ·hear obey· unto your voice, nor turn his ear to you.
46 Saa bleve I i Kades mange Dage, al den Tid, I bleve der.
So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained.
