3 Mosebog 26

1 Iskulle ikke gøre eder Afguder, I skulle ikke heller oprejse eder noget udskaaret Billede eller Støtte, og Stene med Billeder paa skulle I ikke sætte i eders Land, at tilbede ved dem; thi jeg er Herren eders Gud.

[Yahweh also said this to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain]: “Do not make idols or set up statues of false gods or sacred stones [to worship other gods]. And do not put on your property a stone that has been shaped [to resemble a false god] and bow down to [worship] it. [You must worship only] me, Yahweh, your God.

2 Holder mine Sabbater, og frygter for min Helligdom; jeg er Herren.

“Honor the Sabbath days and revere my Sacred Tent, because I, Yahweh, [live there].

3 Dersom I vandre i mine Skikke og holde mine Bud og gøre dem,

“If you carefully obey all my commands [DOU],

4 da vil jeg give eder Regn i sin Tid, og Jorden skal give sin Grøde, og Træer paa Marken skulle bære deres Frugt.

I will send rain for you at the proper/right times, in order that crops will grow on your land and there will be plenty of fruit on your trees.

5 Og Tærsketiden skal vare for eder til Vinhøsten, og Vinhøsten skal vare til Kornsæden, og I skulle æde eders Brød, at I vorde mætte, og I skulle bo tryggelig i eders Land.

You will continue [harvesting and] threshing [grain] until it is time to harvest grapes, and you will continue to harvest grapes until it is time to start planting [things in the following year]. And you will have all the food that you want to eat, and you will live safely in your land.

6 Og jeg vil give Fred i Landet, at I maa hvile i Ro, og ingen skal forfærde eder; og jeg vil lade de vilde Dyr forsvinde af Landet, og Sværdet skal ikke gaa igennem eders Land.

“[If you obey all my laws], there will be peace in your country, and when you lie down [to sleep], nothing will cause you to be afraid. I will get rid of the dangerous animals in your country, and there will no wars [MTY] in your country.

7 Og I skulle forfølge eders Fjender, og de skulle falde for eders Ansigt ved Sværdet.

You will pursue your enemies and kill them with your swords:

8 Og fem af eder skulle forfølge Hundrede, og Hundrede af eder skulle forfølge Titusinde; og eders Fjender skulle falde for eders Ansigt ved Sværdet.

Five of you will pursue 100 of them, and 100 of you will pursue 1,000 of them and kill them with your swords.

9 Og jeg vil vende mig til eder og gøre eder frugtbare og gøre eder mangfoldige, og jeg vil stadfæste min Pagt med eder.

“[If you obey all my laws], I will bless you and cause you to have many children [DOU]. And I will do what I said that I would do in the agreement that I made with you.

10 Og I skulle æde det gamle, som er blevet gammelt; og I skulle skaffe det gamle bort for det nyes Skyld.

When you are still eating food from the harvest from the previous year, it will be necessary for you to throw away some of it to make space for the new harvest.

11 Og jeg vil sætte min Bolig midt iblandt eder, og min Sjæl skal ikke væmmes ved eder.

I will live among you in my Sacred Tent, and I will never reject you.

12 Og jeg vil vandre midt iblandt eder og vil være eders Gud, og I, I skulle være mig til et Folk.

I will walk among you and continue to be your God, and you will continue to be my people.

13 Jeg er Herren eders Gud, som udførte eder af Ægyptens Land, at I ikke skulle være deres Trælle, og jeg har brudt eders Aags Stænger og ladet eder gaa oprejste.

I am Yahweh your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you would no longer be slaves of the people of Egypt. [When you were there, you were treated as though you were animals that worked for the people of Egypt, but] [MET] I broke the bars of the (yokes/frames that were put around your necks) and enabled you to walk with your heads up.”

14 Men dersom I ikke ville lyde mig og ikke gøre alle disse Bud,

“But if you will not heed me and obey all these commands,

15 og dersom I ville foragte mine Skikke, og dersom eders Sjæl væmmes ved mine Befalinger, saa at I ikke gøre efter alle mine Bud, men tilintetgøre min Pagt,

and if you reject [DOU] my decrees and laws, and do not do [DOU] what I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you,

16 da vil jeg ogsaa gøre eder dette: Jeg vil hjemsøge eder med Forfærdelse, Svindsot og hidsig Feber, som skal fortære eders Øjne og bedrøve eders Sjæl; og I skulle saa eders Sæd forgæves, og eders Fjender skulle opæde den.

these are the things that I will do to you: I will suddenly cause there to be disasters that will ruin you. You will have diseases that cannot be cured, and fevers that will cause you to become blind and will slowly kill you. It will be useless for you to plant seeds, because your enemies will eat the crops that grow.

17 Og jeg vil sætte mit Ansigt mod eder, og I skulle blive slagne for eders Fjenders Ansigt, og de, som eder hade, skulle regere over eder, og I skulle fly, skønt ingen forfølger eder.

I will reject/abandon you [IDM], with the result that you will be defeated by your enemies. Then those who hate you will rule you, and [you will be so terrified that] you will run away even when no one is pursuing you.

18 Og ville I ikke endda formedelst disse Ting lyde mig, da vil jeg lægge syv Gange mere til for at tugte eder for eders Synder.

“If you still will not heed me after all those things happen to you, I will continue to punish you again and again for the sins that you have committed.

19 Og jeg vil bryde eders Styrkes Hovmod, og jeg vil gøre eders Himmel som Jern og eders Jord som Kobber.

I will cause you to no longer be stubborn and proud; I will cause [no rain to fall; it will be as though] [MET] the sky is made of iron; and the ground will be [as hard as] brass [MET].

20 Og eders Kraft skal fortæres forgæves, og eders Jord skal ikke give sin Grøde, og Træer i Landet skulle ikke give deres Frugt.

You will uselessly work very hard [to plant seeds], because crops will not grow in the hard soil in your fields, and fruit will not grow on your trees.

21 Og dersom I endda vandre modvillig med mig og ikke ville lyde mig, da vil jeg lægge syv Gange mere til over eder med Slag, efter eders Synder.

“If you continue to oppose me and refuse to heed me, I will cause you to experience disasters again and again, like you deserve to experience because of your sins.

22 Og jeg vil sende vilde Dyr iblandt eder, og de skulle berøve eder eders Børn og ødelægge eders Kvæg og formindske eder, og eders Veje skulle blive øde.

I will send wild animals to attack you, and they will kill your little children and destroy your cattle. There will be very few of you who will remain alive, with the result that there will be very few [HYP] people walking on the roads in your country.

23 Og dersom I ved disse Ting ikke ville lade eder tugte af mig, men I ville vandre med mig modvillig,

“When you experience those things that I do to punish you, if you still do not pay attention to me, and if you continue to oppose me,

24 da vil jeg og vandre med eder modvillig, og jeg, ja jeg vil slaa eder syv Gange mere for eders Synders Skyld.

I myself will oppose you, and I will punish you for your sins again and again.

25 Og jeg vil føre over eder et hævnende Sværd, som skal hævne min Pagt, og I skulle samle eder i eders Stæder, og jeg vil sende Pest midt iblandt eder, og I skulle gives i eders Fjenders Haand.

I will send [foreign] [MTY] to punish you for not doing the things that I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you. If you [try to escape from your enemies by] shutting yourselves in your cities [that have walls around them], I will cause you to experience plagues, and I will allow your enemies to capture [IDM] you.

26 Naar jeg formindsker for eders Brøds Forraad, saa skulle ti Kvinder bage eders Brød i een Ovn og give eders Brød igen efter Vægt; og I skulle æde og ikke mættes.

When I cut off your food supply, there will be very little flour with which to make bread. As a result, ten women will be able to bake all their bread in [only] one oven. [When the bread is baked], each woman will divide it [among the members of her family, but there will be very little for each one], and when they have eaten all of it, they will still be hungry.

27 Og dersom I ved disse Ting ikke ville lyde mig, men vandre med mig modvillig,

“After all those things happen, if you still do not heed me, if you still oppose me,

28 da vil jeg og vandre med eder i Vrede modvillig, og jeg, ja jeg vil tugte eder syv Gange mere for eders Synders Skyld.

I will be very angry with you, and I will oppose you, and I myself will punish you for your sins again and again.

29 Og I skulle æde eders Sønners Kød og æde eders Døtres Kød.

[You will be extremely hungry, with the result that] you will [kill] your sons and daughters and eat their flesh.

30 Og jeg vil ødelægge eders Høje og udrydde eders Solbilleder og kaste eders døde Kroppe oven paa eders stygge Afguders Kroppe, og min Sjæl skal væmmes ved eder.

I will cause the shrines [where you worship idols] on hilltops to be destroyed. I will smash the altars where you burn incense [to worship your gods], and I will cause your corpses to be piled on the lifeless statues of your gods. And I will detest you.

31 Og jeg vil gøre eders Stæder til en Ørk og lægge eders Helligdomme øde, og jeg vil ikke lugte til eders Ofres søde Lugt.

I will cause your cities to become heaps of ruins, and I will cause the buildings that are dedicated to the worship of your gods to be smashed. And I will not be pleased at all with the aroma of your offerings [that are burned on the altar].

32 Og jeg vil gøre Landet øde, at eders Fjender, som bo i det, skulle grue derfor.

I will completely ruin your country, with the result that even your enemies who capture it will be shocked/appalled [when they see it].

33 Men eder vil jeg sprede iblandt Hedningerne og drage Sværdet ud efter eder, og eders Land skal vorde øde, og eders Stæder skulle vorde en Ørk.

I will enable [your enemies to kill you with] their swords, and I will cause the rest of you to be scattered among other nations. Your country will be ruined and your cities will become ruins.

34 Da skal Landet faa nok af sine Sabbater, alle de Dage, det ligger øde, og I ere i eders Fjenders Land; da skal Landet hvile og faa nok af sine Sabbater;

After that happens, as long as you are living in your enemies’ countries, your land will be allowed to rest, like you should have allowed it to rest every seven years.

35 alle de Dage, det ligger øde, skal det hvile, fordi det ikke hvilede paa eders Sabbater, da I boede deri.

All the time that your land is desolate, it will be able to rest, like you did not enable it to rest during all the years that you lived there.

36 Og dem, som blive tilovers af eder, dem vil jeg gøre saa blødhjertede i deres Fjenders Lande, at et rystet Blads Lyd skal jage dem, og de skulle fly, som man flyr for Sværd, og falde, skønt ingen forfølger dem.

“As for you people who will remain alive in the countries to which your enemies [will have taken you], I will cause you to become so afraid that when you hear the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, you will run away. You will run like [SIM] you are running from [a man carrying] a sword, and you will fall down, even though no one is pursuing you.

37 Og den ene skal falde over den anden som for et Sværd, enddog ingen forfølger dem; og I skulle ikke kunne holde Stand for eders Fjenders Ansigt.

You will stumble over each other. So you will not be able to stand and fight your enemies.

38 Og I skulle omkomme iblandt Hedningerne, og eders Fjenders Land skal fortære eder.

Many of you will die in the countries that belong to your enemies [DOU].

39 Men de, der blive tilovers af eder, de skulle svinde hen ved deres Misgerninger, i eders Fjenders Lande; ja de skulle og svinde hen ved deres Fædres Misgerninger, som hvile paa dem.

And those of you who remain alive will slowly die and rot in the countries of your enemies because of your sins and because of the sins of your ancestors.

40 Men naar de bekende deres Misgerning og deres Fædres Misgerning, efter deres Forgribelse, med hvilken de have forgrebet sig imod mig, og i hvilken de have vandret modvillig med mig,

“But your descendants must confess their sins and the sins that their ancestors committed. Their ancestors acted unfaithfully toward me and were hostile to me, with the result that I forced them to go to the countries that belonged to their enemies. But when your descendants humble themselves [SYN] and stop being very stubborn [IDM] and accept being punished for their sins,

41 saa at ogsaa jeg vandrede med dem modvillig og førte dem i deres Fjenders. Land; eller naar deres uomskaarne Hjerter faa ydmyget sig, og de da finde sig i deres Misgerningers Straf:

42 Saa vil jeg ihukomme min Pagt med Jakob, ja og min Pagt med Isak, saa og min Pagt med Abraham vil jeg ihukomme, og Landet vil jeg ihukomme.

I will remember the agreement that I made with [your ancestors] Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and [what I promised them about] this land.

43 Men Landet skal forlades af dem og faa nok i sine Sabbater, medens det er øde for dem, og de skulle finde sig i deres Misgernings Straf, fordi, ja fordi de foragtede mine Bud og deres Sjæl væmmedes ved mine Skikke.

But [before that happens], you will be forced to leave your land, with the result that the land will be able to rest while it is desolate and while the people are being punished for rejecting my laws and hating my decrees [DOU].

44 Og selv naar de ere i deres Fjenders Land, vil jeg ikke foragte dem og ikke væmmes saa ved dem, at jeg vil gøre en Ende med dem og tilintetgøre min Pagt med dem; thi jeg er Herren deres Gud.

But when that happens, I will still not reject them or hate them and destroy them completely. I will not cancel the agreement that I made with them; for I am still Yahweh their God.

45 Og jeg vil ihukomme dem til gode den Pagt med Forfædrene, der jeg udførte dem af Ægyptens Land for Hedningernes Øjne, for at være deres Gud, jeg ef Herren.

I will (remember/never forget) the agreement that I made with your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, in order that the people of all nations will know that I, Yahweh, [will continue to] be your God.”

46 Disse ere de Skikke og de Bud og de Love, som Herren gav imellem sig og imellem Israels Børn paa Sinai Bjerg ved Mose.

Those are the decrees, the laws, and the regulations [DOU] that Yahweh established on Sinai Mountain between himself and the Israeli people by [giving them to] Moses/me [to tell to them].
