2 Mosebog 19
1 Iden tredje Maaned, efter at Israels Børn vare udgangne af Ægyptens Land, paa den Dag kom de til Sinai Ørk.
In the third month Sivan ·Walk / Vision, 3· after the children of Israel [God prevails] had gone out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai [Thorn].
2 Thi de droge fra Refidim og kom til Sinai Ørk og lejrede sig i Ørken, og der lejrede Israel sig lige for Bjerget.
When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai [Thorn], they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel [God prevails] encamped before the mountain.
3 Og Mose steg op til Gud, og Herren raabte til ham fra Bjerget og sagde: Saa skal du sige til Jakobs Hus og kundgøre Israels Børn:
Moses [Drawn out] went up to God, and Adonai called to him out of the mountain, saying, “This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob [Supplanter], and tell the children of Israel [God prevails]:
4 I have set, hvad jeg gjorde ved Ægypterne, og jeg bar eder paa Ørnevinger og lod eder komme til mig.
‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.
5 Og nu, dersom I kun ville lyde min Røst og holde min Pagt, da skulle I være mig en Ejendom fremfor alle Folk; thi mig hører al Jorden til.
Now therefore, if you will indeed sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice, and sh'ma ·hear obey· keep my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·, then you shall be my own segulah ·special treasure· from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;
6 Og I skulle blive mig et præsteligt Kongerige og et helligt Folk. Disse ere de Ord, som du skal sige til Israels Børn.
and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel [God prevails].”
7 Og Mose kom og kaldte ad Folkets ældste og forelagde dem alle disse Ord, som Herren havde budet ham.
Moses [Drawn out] came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Adonai enjoined him.
8 Da svarede alt Folket til Hobe og sagde: Alt det som Herren har sagt, ville vi gøre; og Mose bragte igen Folkets Ord for Herren.
All the people answered together, and said, “All that Adonai has spoken we will do.” Moses [Drawn out] reported the words of the people to Adonai.
9 Da sagde Herren til Mose: Se, jeg vil komme til dig i en tyk Sky, paa det Folket maa høre, naar jeg taler med dig, og ligeledes tro paa dig evindelig; og Mose forkyndte Herren Folkets Ord.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may sh'ma ·hear obey· when I speak with you, and may also trust you forever.” Moses [Drawn out] told the words of the people to Adonai.
10 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Gak til Folket, og du skal hellige dem i Dag og i Morgen, og de skulle to deres Klæder.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
11 Og de skulle være rede til den tredje Dag; thi paa den tredje Dag skal Herren nedstige for alt Folkets Øjne paa Sinai Bjerg.
and be ready against the third day; for on the third day Adonai will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai [Thorn].
12 Og du skal sætte Gærde for Folket rundt omkring, sigende: Vogter eder for at gaa op paa Bjerget og at røre ved dets Fod; hver den som rører ved Bjerget, skal visselig dødes.
You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.
13 Ingen Haand skal røre ved ham; men han skal visselig stenes eller skydes, hvad enten det er et Dyr eller et Menneske, da skal det ikke leve; naar Basunen lyder langsomt, skulle de stige op paa Bjerget.
No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain.”
14 Og Mose gik ned ad Bjerget til Folket og helligede Folket, og de toede deres Klæder.
Moses [Drawn out] went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 Og han sagde til Folket: Værer rede til om tre Dage, og holder eder ikke til Kvinder.
He said to the people, “Be ready by the third day. Don’t have sexual relations with a woman.”
16 Og det skete paa den tredje Dag, der det blev Morgen, at der var Torden og Lyn og en tyk Sky paa Bjerget og en saare stærk Basuns Lyd, og det ganske Folk, som var i Lejren, bævede.
On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud shofar ·ram horn·; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.
17 Og Mose førte Folket ud af Lejren mod Gud, og de bleve staaende neden for Bjerget.
Moses [Drawn out] led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.
18 Og hele Sinai Bjerg røg for Herrens Ansigt, som for ned over det i Ilden, og der opgik en Røg af det som Røg af en Ovn, og hele Bjerget bævede saare.
All of Mount Sinai [Thorn] smoked, because Adonai descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
19 Og Basunens Lyd tog til og blev meget stærk; Mose talede, og Gud svarede ham lydelig.
When the sound of the shofar ·ram horn· grew louder and louder, Moses [Drawn out] spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
20 Der Herren var kommen ned over Sinai Bjerg, over Bjergets Top, da kaldte Herren Mose op paa Bjergets Top, og Mose steg op.
Adonai came down on Mount Sinai [Thorn], to the top of the mountain. Adonai called Moses [Drawn out] to the top of the mountain, and Moses [Drawn out] went up.
21 Da sagde Herren til Mose: Stig ned for at vidne for Folket, at de ikke skulle bryde frem til Herren for at se, saa at mange af dem maatte falde.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to Adonai to gaze, and many of them perish.
22 Endog Præsterne, som komme nær til Herren, skulle hellige sig, at Herren ikke skal gøre et Skaar iblandt dem.
Let the priests also, who come near to Adonai, sanctify themselves, lest Adonai break out on them.”
23 Og Mose sagde til Herren: Folket kan ikke stige op paa Sinai Bjerg; thi du vidnede for os og sagde: Sæt Gærde om Bjerget og hellige det.
Moses [Drawn out] said to Adonai, “The people can’t come up to Mount Sinai [Thorn], for you warned us, saying, ‘Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.’”
24 Og Herren sagde til ham: Gak bort, stig ned, og du skal siden stige op, du og Aron med dig; men Præsterne og Folket skulle ikke bryde frem for at stige op til Herren, for at han ikke skal gøre et Skaar paa dem.
Adonai said to him, “Go down! You shall bring Aaron [Light-bringer] up with you, but don’t let the priests and the people break through to come up to Adonai, lest he break out against them.”
25 Og Mose steg ned til Folket og sagde det til dem.
So Moses [Drawn out] went down to the people, and told them.
