4 Mosebog 14
1 Da opløftede og hævede al Menigheden sin Røst, og Folket græd den samme Nat.
And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
2 Og alle Israels Børn knurrede imod Mose og imod Aron, og al Menigheden sagde til dem: Gid vi vare døde i Ægyptens Land, eller gid vi vare døde i denne Ørk!
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
3 Og hvorfor fører Herren os til dette Land til at falde ved Sværdet? vore Hustruer og vore smaa Børn maa blive til Rov; er det os ikke bedst at vende tilbage til Ægypten?
And wherefore has the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
4 Og den ene sagde til den anden: Lader os indsætte en Høvedsmand og vende tilbage til Ægypten.
And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
5 Men Mose og Aron faldt ned paa deres Ansigter, for Israels Børns hele Menigheds Forsamling.
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
6 Og Josva, Nuns Søn, og Kaleb, Jefunne Søn, der vare blandt dem, der havde bespejdet Landet, de sønderreve deres Klæder.
And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
7 Og de sagde til al Israels Børns Menighed, sigende: Det Land, som vi vandrede igennem til at bespejde det, er et saare, ja saare godt Land.
And they spoke unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
8 Dersom Herren har Behagelighed til os, da fører han os ind i dette Land og giver os det, et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning.
If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
9 Men værer kun ikke genstridige imod Herren, og I, frygter ikke Folket i det Land, thi dem tage vi som en Bid Brød; deres Værn er veget fra dem; men med os er Herren, frygter ikke for dem.
Only rebel not all of you against the LORD, neither fear all of you the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
10 Da sagde den ganske Menighed, at man skulde stene dem med Stene, og Herrens Herlighed blev set i Forsamlingens Paulun for alle Israels Børn.
But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
11 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Hvor længe skal dette Folk opirre mig? og hvor længe ville de ikke tro paa mig, uagtet alle de Tegn, som jeg har gjort midt iblandt dem?
And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be before they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them?
12 Jeg vil slaa dem med Pest og udrydde dem; og jeg vil gøre dig til et større og stærkere Folk, end dette er.
I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a greater nation and mightier than they.
13 Da sagde Mose til Herren: Ægypterne have hørt, at du har ført dette Folk med din Kraft ud af deres Midte.
And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for you brought up this people in your might from among them; )
14 Og de have sagt det til dette Lands Indbyggere; de have hørt, at du, Herre! er midt iblandt dette Folk, for hvilket du, Herre! ses øjensynlig, og at din Sky staar over dem, og at du gaar for deres Ansigt i en Skystøtte om Dagen og i en Ildstøtte om Natten.
And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that you LORD are among this people, that you LORD are seen face to face, and that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
15 Men slog du dette Folk ihjel som een Mand, da skulle Hedningerne, naar de høre det Rygte om dig, sige saaledes:
Now if you shall kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
16 Fordi Herren ikke formaaede at føre dette Folk ind i det Land, som han havde tilsvoret dem, derfor har han slaaet dem ned i Ørken.
Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore unto them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.
17 Og nu, lad dog Herrens Kraft vise sig stor, som du har talet og sagt:
And now, I plead to you, let the power of my LORD be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
18 Herren er langmodig og af megen Miskundhed, som forlader Misgerning og Overtrædelse, og som aldeles ikke skal holde den skyldige for uskyldig, som hjemsøger Fædrenes Misgerning paa Børnene, paa dem i tredje og paa dem i fjerde Led.
The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
19 Kære, forlad dette Folk dets Misgerning efter din store Miskundhed, og ligesom du har tilgivet dette Folk, fra Ægypten af og hidindtil
Pardon, I plead to you, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of your mercy, and as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
20 Og Herren sagde: Jeg har forladt det efter dit Ord.
And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to your word:
21 Men sandelig, saa vist som jeg lever, da skal alt Landet opfyldes med Herrens Herlighed;
But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
22 thi alle de Mænd, som have set min Herlighed og mine Tegn, som jeg gjorde i Ægypten og i Ørken, og nu have fristet mig ti Gange og ikke hørt paa min Røst,
Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
23 de skulle ikke se det Land, som jeg har tilsvoret deres Fædre, ja ingen af dem, som have opirret mig, skal se det.
Surely they shall not see the land which I swore unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
24 Men min Tjener Kaleb, fordi der er en anden Aand med ham, og han har fuldkommelig efterfulgt mig, ham vil jeg føre til det Land, hvor han var kommen hen, og hans Sæd skal eje det.
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into where he went; and his seed shall possess it.
25 Men Amalekiten og Kananiten bor i Dalen; vender eder i Morgen og rejser i Ørken ad Vejen til det røde Hav.
(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
26 Og Herren talede til Mose og Aron og sagde:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
27 Hvor længe skal jeg se til denne onde Menighed, dem, som knurre imod mig? jeg har hørt Israels Børns megen Knur, hvormed de knurre imod mig.
How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
28 Sig til dem: Saa sandt som jeg lever, siger Herren, ligesom I have talet for mine Øren, saaledes vil jeg gøre ved eder.
Say unto them, As truly as I live, says the LORD, as all of you have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
29 Eders døde Kroppe skulle falde i denne Ørk, og alle eders talte efter alt eders Tal, fra tyve Aar gamle og derover, I som have knurret imod mig.
Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
30 I skulle ikke komme ind i det Land, om hvilket jeg har opløftet min Haand og svoret at ville lade eder bo deri, uden Kaleb, Jefunne Søn, og Josva, Nuns Søn.
Doubtless all of you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
31 Og eders smaa Børn, om hvilke I sagde, de skulle blive til Rov, ja dem vil jeg føre derind, at de skulle kende det Land, som I have foragtet.
But your little ones, which all of you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which all of you have despised.
32 Men eders døde Kroppe, de skulle falde i denne Ørk.
But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.
33 Og eders Børn skulle være Hyrder i Ørken fyrretyve Aar og bøde for eders Bolen, indtil I alle ere blevne til døde Kroppe i denne Ørk.
And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.
34 Efter de Dages Tal, i hvilke I have bespejdet Landet, fyrretyve Dage, et Aar for hver Dag, skulle I bære eders Misgerninger fyrretyve Aar, og I skulle fornemme, at jeg har vendt mig bort.
After the number of the days in which all of you searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall all of you bear your iniquities, even forty years, and all of you shall know my breach of promise.
35 Jeg Herren har sagt: Jeg vil visselig gøre dette ved hele denne onde Menighed, som har forsamlet sig imod mig; de skulle faa Ende i denne Ørk og dø der.
I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
36 Og de Mænd, som Mose havde sendt til at bespejde Landet, og som vare komne igen og havde bragt al Menigheden til at knurre imod ham, idet de førte ondt Rygte ud om Landet,
And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,
37 ja de Mænd døde, som havde ført ondt Rygte ud om Landet, ved Plagen for Herrens Ansigt.
Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
38 Men Josva, Nuns Søn, og Kaleb, Jefunne Søn, de bleve i Live af de Mænd, som vare gangne til at bespejde Landet.
But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
39 Og Mose talede disse Ord til alle Israels Børn; da sørgede Folket saare.
And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
40 Og om Morgenen stode de tidlig op og gik oven paa Bjerget og sagde: Se, her ere vi, og vi ville drage op til det Sted, som Herren har talet om; thi vi have syndet.
And they rose up early in the morning, and got them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD has promised: for we have sinned.
41 Men Mose sagde: Hvorfor overtræde I Herrens Befaling? det skal ikke lykkes.
And Moses said, Wherefore now do all of you transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
42 Drager ikke op, thi Herren er ikke midt iblandt eder, at I ikke skulle blive slagne for eders Fjenders Ansigt.
Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that all of you be not smitten before your enemies.
43 Thi Amalekiterne og Kananiterne ere der for eders Ansigt, og I skulle falde ved Sværdet; thi fordi I have vendt eder bort fra Herren, skal Herren ikke være med eder.
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and all of you shall fall by the sword: because all of you are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
44 Men de formastede sig hovmodelig til at drage op oven paa Bjerget; men Herrens Pagtes Ark og Mose, de vege ikke ud af Lejren.
But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
45 Da kom Amalekiten og Kananiten ned, som boede paa det samme Bjerg, og de sloge dem og sønderknusede dem indtil Horma.
Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and stroke them, and humiliated them, even unto Hormah.
