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,
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Leave this place and go with the people whom you led out of Egypt. Go to the land that I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that I would give to their descendants.
2 og jeg vil sende en Engel foran dig, og uddrive Kananiter, Amoriter og Hethiter og Feresiter, Heviter og Jebusiter, —
I will send my angel ahead of you all, and I will expel [from that land] the Canaan, Amor, Heth, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
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.
You will go to a land that will be very good for raising livestock and growing crops [IDM]. But I will not go with you myself, because [if I did that], I might get rid of you while you are traveling, because you are very stubborn [IDM] people.”
4 Der Folket hørte denne svare Tale, da sørgede de, og ingen satte sin Prydelse paa sig.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell the Israeli people, ‘You are very stubborn [IDM]. If I would go with you for even a moment, I would completely (get rid of you/wipe you out). Now take off your jewelry [to show that you are sorry for having sinned]. Then I will decide how I will punish you (OR, if I should punish you).’” So when Moses/I told to the people what God said, they started to mourn, and they all took off their jewelry.
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.
6 Saa aflagde Israels Børn deres Prydelse fra det Bjerg Horeb af.
After the Israeli people left Sinai Mountain, they did not wear jewelry any more.
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.
[When the Israeli people traveled], whenever they stopped and set up their tents, Moses/I had them set up a tent outside the camp, far from the camp. I called it ‘the Sacred Tent where God and I talk together’. Everyone who wanted Yahweh to decide something for them would go out of the camp to the Sacred Tent.
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.
Whenever Moses/I went out to the Sacred Tent, all the people would stand at the entrances of their tents and watch him/me until he/I had entered the Sacred Tent.
9 Og det skete, naar Mose kom til Teltet, kom Skystøtten ned og stod i Teltets Dør, og han talte med Mose.
When Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent, the tall cloud that looked like a fire would come down and stay at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and then Yahweh would talk with Moses/me.
10 Og alt Folket saa Skystøtten staa i Teltets Dør, og alt Folket rejste sig, og de bøjede sig, hver i sit Telts Dør.
When the people saw the tall cloud at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, they would all prostrate themselves on the ground and worship Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh would speak to Moses/me directly, like someone speaks to his friend. Then Moses/I would return to the camp. But his/my young helper, Joshua, the son of Nun, stayed in the Sacred 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.
Moses/I said to Yahweh, “It is true that you have told me, ‘Lead the people to the land [that I will show you],’ and you have said that you know me well and that you are pleased with me, but you have not told me whom you will send with me!
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.
So now, if you are truly pleased with me, I ask you, tell me the things that you intend/plan to do, in order that I will know you [better] and continue to please you. Also, do not forget that the [Israeli] people are the people whom you chose to belong to you.”
14 Og han sagde: Mit Ansigt skal gaa med, og jeg vil skaffe dig Hvile.
Yahweh replied, “I will go with you, and I will give you inner peace.”
15 Men han sagde til ham: Dersom dit Ansigt ikke gaar med os, da lad os ikke drage op herfra.
Moses/I replied, “If you do not go with me, do not force us to leave 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.
The only way that [other] people will know that you are pleased with me and with your people is if you go with us [RHQ]! (If you go with us, [that will show that] we are different from all the other people on the earth./If you do not go with us, what will show that we are different from all the other people on the earth?)” [RHQ]
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.
Yahweh replied to Moses/me, “What you have asked is exactly what I will do, because I know you well and I am pleased with you.”
18 Men han sagde: Kære, lad mig se din Herlighed!
Then Moses/I said, “Please let me see your glorious presence!”
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.
Yahweh replied, “I will let you see how great and glorious I am, and I will tell you clearly that my name is Yahweh. I will act very kindly and be merciful to all those whom I choose.
20 Og han sagde: Du kan ikke se mit Ansigt; thi Mennesket kan ikke se mig og leve.
But you are not allowed to see my face, because anyone who sees my face will (die/not continue to stay alive).
21 Og Herren sagde: Se, her er et Sted hos mig, og du skal staa paa Klippen.
[But look]! Here is a place close to me where you can stand on a [large] 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.
When my glorious presence comes past you, I will put you in a large crevice/opening in the rock, and I will cover your face with my hand until I have passed by.
23 Og naar jeg borttager min Haand, da skal du se mig bagfra; men mit Ansigt kan ikke ses.
Then I will take my hand away, and you will see my back, but you will not see my face.”
