2 Mosebog 32
1 Og Folket saa, at Mose tøvede med at komme ned ad Bjerget; og Folket forsamledes om Aron, og de sagde til ham: Staa op, gør os Guder, som kunne gaa foran os; thi denne Mose, Manden, som førte os op af Ægyptens Land, vide vi ikke, hvad der er vederfaret.
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people assembled themselves together around Aaron, and they said unto him, Up, make us gods, that shall go before us; for of this man Moses, who hath brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
2 Og Aron sagde til dem: Afriver de Guldsmykker, som ere i eders Hustruers, eders Sønners og eders Døtres Øren, og bærer dem til mig.
And Aaron said unto them, Take out the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3 Saa afrev alt Folket de Guldsmykker, som vare i deres Øren, og de bare dem til Aron.
And all the people took out the golden earrings, which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
4 Og han tog det af deres Haand og dannede det med Mejselen og gjorde en støbt Kalv deraf, og de sagde: Israel! disse ere dine dine Guder, som førte dig op af Ægyptens Land.
And he took them from their hand, and fashioned it in a mould, and he made of it a molten calf; and they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5 Der Aron saa det, byggede han et Alter for den; og Aron raabte og sagde: I Morgen er det Herrens Højtid.
And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron called out, and said, A feast unto the Lord is tomorrow.
6 Og de stode aarle op den anden Dag og ofrede Brændofre og fremførte Takofre; og Folket satte sig ned til at æde og drikke og stod op at lege.
And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought near peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
7 Da sagde Herren til Mose: Gaa, stig ned; thi dit Folk, som du førte op af Ægyptens Land, har handlet fordærveligt.
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, hath become corrupt:
8 De vege snart fra den Vej, som jeg bød dem, de have gjort sig en støbt Kalv, og de have tilbedet den og ofret til den og sagt: Israel! disse ere dine Guder, som førte dig op af Ægyptens Land.
They have turned aside quickly from the way which I have commanded them; they have made themselves a molten calf: and they have bowed themselves to it, and have sacrificed unto it, and have said, These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Jeg har set dette Folk, og se, det er et haardnakket Folk.
And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people.
10 Og lad mig nu fare frem, at min Vrede maa optændes mod dem, og jeg maa fortære dem; og jeg vil gøre dig til et stort Folk.
And now let me alone, and my wrath shall wax hot against them, and I will make an end of them; and I will make of thee a great nation.
11 Og Mose bad ydmygelig for Herrens, sin Guds Ansigt og sagde: Herre, hvorfor skal din Vrede optændes imod dit Folk, som du udførte af Ægyptens Land med stor Kraft og med en stærk Haand?
Thereupon Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Why, O Lord, shall thy wrath wax hot against thy people, that thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt, with great power and with a mighty hand?
12 Hvorfor skulle Ægypterne tale og sige: Han har udført dem til Ulykke, for at ihjelslaa dem paa Bjergene og ødelægge dem af Jorderige? Vend om fra din grumme Vrede, og lad det onde mod dit Folk fortryde dig!
Wherefore should the Egyptians say thus, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to destroy them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent thee of the evil decreed against thy people.
13 Kom dine Tjenere, Abraham, Isak og Israel i Hu, hvilke du har tilsvoret ved dig selv og tilsagt: Jeg vil gøre eders Sæd mangfoldig, som Stjernerne paa Himmelen; og alt det Land, som jeg har sagt, vil jeg give eders Sæd, og de skulle eje det evindelig.
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou didst swear by thy own self, and speak unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven; and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.
14 Saa fortrød Herren det onde, som han havde talet om at ville gøre sit Folk.
And the Lord bethought himself of the evil which he had spoken to do unto his people.
15 Og Mose vendte sig og gik ned ad Bjerget og havde to Vidnesbyrdets Tavler i sin Haand, Tavler beskrevne paa begge Sider, de vare skrevne baade paa den ene og den anden Side.
And Moses turned about, and went down from the mount with the two tables of the testimony in his hand: tables inscribed on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they inscribed.
16 Og Tavlerne vare Guds Arbejde; og Skriften var Guds Skrift, indgravet i Tavlerne.
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved upon the tables.
17 Der Josva I hørte Lyden af Folket, som raabte, da sagde han til Mose: Der er en Krigslyd i Lejren.
And Joshua heard the noise of the people in its shouting, and he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
18 Men denne sagde: Det er ikke en Lyd af dem, som raabe, naar de sejre, og ikke en Lyd af dem, som raabe, naar de tabe; men jeg hører en Lyd af Sang.
And he said, It is not the voice of a shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of a cry for defeat; the noise of singing do I hear.
19 Og det skete, der han kom nær til Lejren og saa Kalven og Dansen, da optændtes Mose Vrede, og han kastede Tavlerne af sine Hænder og sønderbrød dem neden for Bjerget.
And it came to pass, when he came nigh unto the camp, and he saw the calf, and the dancing: that the anger of Moses waxed hot, and he cast from his hands the tables, and broke them at the foot of the mount.
20 Og han tog Kalven, som de havde gjort, og opbrændte den med Ild og malede den til Støv og strøede det oven paa Vandet og gav Israels Børn det at drikke.
And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in fire, and ground it to a powder, and he strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
21 Og Mose sagde til Aron: Hvad har dette Folk gjort dig, at du har ført en saa stor Synd over det?
And Moses said unto Aaron, What hath this people done unto thee, that thou hast brought upon it so great a sin?
22 Og Aron svarede: Min Herres Vrede forhaste sig ikke; du kender Folket, at det ligger i det onde.
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my Lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that it is bent on mischief.
23 Og de sagde til mig: Gør os Guder, som kunne gaa foran os; thi denne Mose, Manden, som førte os op af Ægyptens Land, vide vi ikke, hvad der er vederfaret.
And they said unto me, Make us gods that shall go before us; for of this man Moses, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath become of him.
24 Da sagde jeg til dem: Hvo som har Guld, de maa rive det af, og de gave mig det; og jeg kastede det i i Ilden, saa kom denne Kalv ud.
And I said unto them, Who hath any gold? They took it off themselves and gave it to me, and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
25 Der Mose saa Folket, at det var tøjleløst, — thi Aron havde givet det Tøjlen til en Spot for deres Modstandere, —
And Moses saw the people that it had become unruly; for Aaron had made it unruly for a disgrace among their opponents.
26 da stillede Mose sig i Lejrens Port og sagde: Hvo der hører Herren til, han komme til mig; da forsamlede alle Levi Børn sig til ham.
Moses then placed himself in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoever is on the Lord's side, let him come unto me! and there assembled themselves unto him all the sons of Levi.
27 Og han sagde til dem: Saa siger Herren, Israels Gud: Hver binde sit Sværd ved sin Side; gaar frem og tilbage, fra den ene Port i Lejren til den anden, og ihjelslaar hver sin Broder og hver sin Ven og hver sin Næste.
And he said unto them, Thus hath said the Eternal, the God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword by his side, and go ye hither and thither, from gate to gate in the camp, and slay ye every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his relative.
28 Og Levi Børn gjorde, som Mose havde sagt, og der faldt af Folket paa den samme Dag henved tre Tusinde Mænd.
And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people on that day about three thousand men.
29 Og Mose sagde: Fylder eders Haand i Dag for Herren, at enhver er imod sin Søn og imod sin Broder, og det for at bringe Velsignelse over eder i Dag.
And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, yea even every man on his son, and on his brother; and to bestow upon you this day a blessing.
30 Og det skete den anden Dag, da sagde Mose til Folket: I have syndet en stor Synd, dog nu vil jeg opstige til Herren, om jeg maaske kan gøre Forligelse for eders Synd.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the Lord; peradventure I may obtain an atonement for your sin.
31 Der Mose kom igen til Herren, sagde han: Ak! dette Folk har syndet en stor Synd, og de have gjort sig Guder af Guld.
And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people hath sinned a great sin, and they have made themselves gods of gold.
32 Og nu, gid du vilde forlade dem deres Synd; men hvis ikke, da udslet mig nu af din Bog, som du har skrevet!
Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—; but if not, blot me out, I pray thee, from thy book which thou hast written.
33 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Hver den som synder imod mig, den vil jeg udslette af min Bog.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out from my book.
34 Og nu gaa, før Folket didhen, som jeg sagde dig: Se, min Engel skal gaa for dit Ansigt; men paa min Hjemsøgelses Dag vil jeg hjemsøge deres Synd over dem.
And now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee; behold, my angel shall go before thee; but on the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
35 Og Herren slog Folket, fordi de havde gjort Kalven, som Aron havde gjort.
And the Lord sent a plague among the people, because that they had made the calf which Aaron made.
