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 gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, Arise, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us 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 to them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.
3 Saa afrev alt Folket de Guldsmykker, som vare i deres Øren, og de bare dem til Aron.
And all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to 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 received them at their hand, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee 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 it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
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 early on the next morning, and offered burnt offerings, and brought 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 said to Moses, Go, go down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
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 commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee 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 to 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.
Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may burn against them, and that I may consume 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?
And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath burn against thy people, which thou hast brought forth from 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!
Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, For evil did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil 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 sworest by thine own self, and saidst to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give to 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 repented of the evil which he thought to do to 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, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
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 when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to 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 them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing 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, as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger burned, and he cast the tables from his hands, and broke them beneath 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 the fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered 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 to Aaron, What did this people to thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
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 burn: thou knowest the people, that they are set on evil.
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.
For they said to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is 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 to them, Whoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it to me: then 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 when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked to their shame among their enemies: )
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.
Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD’S side? let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
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 to them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
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 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.
For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
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 next day, that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I shall make 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 to the LORD, and said, O, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them 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 --; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of 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 to Moses, Whoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of 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.
Therefore now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to thee: behold, my angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in 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 afflicted the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
