2 Mosebog 33

1 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Gaa, drag op herfra, du og Folket, som du førte op af Ægyptens Land, til det Land, som jeg tilsvor Abraham, Isak og Jakob, — sigende: Din Sæd vil jeg give det,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, “Go, ascend from this [place], you and the people, whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I give it to your seed.

2 og jeg vil sende en Engel foran dig, og uddrive Kananiter, Amoriter og Hethiter og Feresiter, Heviter og Jebusiter, —

And I have sent a Messenger before you, and have cast out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

3 til et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning; men jeg vil ikke drage op med dig, thi du er et haardnakket Folk, at jeg ikke skal fortære dig paa Vejen.

[Go up] to a land flowing with milk and honey, for I do not go up in your midst, for you [are] a stiff-necked people—lest I consume you in the way.”

4 Der Folket hørte denne svare Tale, da sørgede de, og ingen satte sin Prydelse paa sig.

And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none puts his ornaments on him.

5 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Sig til Israels Børn: I ere et haardnakket Folk; drog jeg et Øjeblik midt op iblandt dig, saa maatte jeg fortære dig; og læg nu din Prydelse af dig, at jeg kan vide, hvad jeg skal gøre ved dig.

And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to the sons of Israel: You [are] a stiff-necked people; [in] one moment I could come up into your midst and could have consumed you; and now, put down your ornaments from off you, and I know what I do to you”;

6 Saa aflagde Israels Børn deres Prydelse fra det Bjerg Horeb af.

and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.

7 Men Mose tog Teltet og slog sig det ud udenfor Lejren, langt fra Lejren, og kaldte det Forsamlingens Telt; og det skete, at hver som vilde adspørge Herren, maatte gaa ud til Forsamlingens Telt, som var udenfor Lejren.

And Moses takes the tent, and has stretched it out at the outside of the camp, far off from the camp, and has called it, “Tent of Meeting”; and it has come to pass, everyone seeking YHWH goes out to the Tent of Meeting, which [is] at the outside of the camp.

8 Og det skete, naar Mose gik ud til Teltet, da rejste alt Folket sig, og de stode hver i sit Telts Dør, og de saa efter Mose, indtil han kom til Teltet.

And it has come to pass, at the going out of Moses to the tent, all the people rise, and have stood, each at the opening of his tent, and have looked expectingly after Moses, until his going into the tent.

9 Og det skete, naar Mose kom til Teltet, kom Skystøtten ned og stod i Teltets Dør, og han talte med Mose.

And it has come to pass, at the going in of Moses to the tent, the pillar of the cloud comes down, and has stood at the opening of the tent, and He has spoken with Moses;

10 Og alt Folket saa Skystøtten staa i Teltets Dør, og alt Folket rejste sig, og de bøjede sig, hver i sit Telts Dør.

and all the people have seen the pillar of the cloud standing at the opening of the tent, and all the people have risen and bowed themselves, each at the opening of his tent.

11 Men Herren talede til Mose, Ansigt til Ansigt, ligesom en Mand taler med sin Næste; og han vendte om til Lejren, men hans Tjener Josva, Nims Søn, den unge Karl, veg ikke fra Teltet.

And YHWH has spoken to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend; and he has turned back to the camp, and his minister Joshua, son of Nun, a youth, does not depart out of the tent.

12 Og Mose sagde til Herren: Se, du siger til mig: Før dette Folk op, og du har ikke ladet mig vide, hvem du vil sende med mig; enddog du har sagt: Jeg kender dig ved Navn, og du har ogsaa fundet Naade for mine Øjne.

And Moses says to YHWH, “See, You are saying to me, Bring up this people, and You have not caused me to know whom You send with me; and You have said, I have known you by name, and you have also found grace in My eyes.

13 Og nu, kære, dersom jeg har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, da vis mig, kære, dine Veje, at jeg kan kende dig, paa det jeg maa finde Naade for dine Øjne; og se, dette Folk er dit Folk.

And now, if, please, I have found grace in Your eyes, please cause me to know Your way, and I know You, so that I find grace in Your eyes, and consider that this nation [is] Your people”;

14 Og han sagde: Mit Ansigt skal gaa med, og jeg vil skaffe dig Hvile.

and He says, “My presence goes, and I have given rest to you.”

15 Men han sagde til ham: Dersom dit Ansigt ikke gaar med os, da lad os ikke drage op herfra.

And he says to Him, “If Your presence is not going—do not take us up from this [place];

16 Og hvorpaa skulde det dog kendes, at jeg har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, jeg og dit Folk? mon ikke derpaa, at du gaar med os? at vi, jeg og dit Folk, udmærkes frem for hvert Folk, som er paa Jorderiges Kreds.

and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in Your eyes—I and Your people—is it not in Your going with us? And we have been distinguished—I and Your people—from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.”

17 Da sagde Herren til Mose: Jeg vil ogsaa gøre dette Ord, som du har talet; thi du har fundet Naade for mine Øjne, og jeg kender dig ved Navn.

And YHWH says to Moses, “Even this thing which you have spoken I do; for you have found grace in My eyes, and I know you by name.”

18 Men han sagde: Kære, lad mig se din Herlighed!

And he says, “Please show me Your glory”;

19 Og han sagde: Jeg vil lade al min Godhed drage forbi for dit Ansigt, og jeg vil ved Navn udraabe: Herren! for dit Ansigt; og jeg vil være den naadig, hvem jeg er naadig, og forbarme mig over den, hvem jeg forbarmer mig over.

and He says, “I cause all My goodness to pass before your face, and have called concerning the Name of YHWH before you, and favored him whom I favor, and loved him whom I love.”

20 Og han sagde: Du kan ikke se mit Ansigt; thi Mennesket kan ikke se mig og leve.

He also says, “You are unable to see My face, for man does not see Me and live”;

21 Og Herren sagde: Se, her er et Sted hos mig, og du skal staa paa Klippen.

YHWH also says, “Behold, a place [is] by Me, and you have stood on the rock,

22 Og det skal ske, naar min Herlighed gaar forbi, da vil jeg lade dig staa i Kløften paa Klippen, og jeg vil dække med min Haand over dig, indtil jeg er gaaet forbi.

and it has come to pass, in the passing by of My glory, that I have set you in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over you until My passing by,

23 Og naar jeg borttager min Haand, da skal du se mig bagfra; men mit Ansigt kan ikke ses.

and I have turned aside My hands, and you have seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.”
