4 Mosebog 14
1 Da opløftede og hævede al Menigheden sin Røst, og Folket græd den samme Nat.
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!
All the children of Israel [God prevails] murmured against Moses [Drawn out] and against Aaron [Light-bringer]. The whole congregation said to them, “We wish that we had died in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], or that 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?
Why does Adonai bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be captured or killed! Wouldn’t it be better for us to teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery]?”
4 Og den ene sagde til den anden: Lader os indsætte en Høvedsmand og vende tilbage til Ægypten.
They said to one another, “Let us make a captain, and let us teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery].”
5 Men Mose og Aron faldt ned paa deres Ansigter, for Israels Børns hele Menigheds Forsamling.
Then Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails].
6 Og Josva, Nuns Søn, og Kaleb, Jefunne Søn, der vare blandt dem, der havde bespejdet Landet, de sønderreve deres Klæder.
Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun and Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore 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.
They spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, 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 Adonai delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to 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 don’t rebel against Adonai, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and Adonai is with us. Don’t fear them.”
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 threatened to stone them with stones. The kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel [God prevails].
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?
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not trust in me, for all the signs which I have worked 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 nation greater 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.
Moses [Drawn out] said to Adonai, “Then the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] will sh'ma ·hear obey· 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.
They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that you Adonai are in the middle of this people; for you Adonai are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, 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 killed this people as one man, then the nations which have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· 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 Adonai was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to 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:
Now please let the power of 'Adonay [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.
‘Adonai is slow to anger, and abundant in chesed ·loving-kindness·, forgiving depravity (moral evil) and rebellious breach of relationship; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the depravity (moral evil) of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the 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
Please pardon the depravity (moral evil) of this people according to the greatness of your chesed ·loving-kindness·, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt [Abode of slavery] even until now.”
20 Og Herren sagde: Jeg har forladt det efter dit Ord.
Adonai 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 in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing·;
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 who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt [Abode of slavery] and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not sh'ma ·heard obeyed· 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 to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised 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 [Dog], because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him I will bring into the land into which he went. His offspring 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.
Since the Amalekite [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn, and go into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea].”
26 Og Herren talede til Mose og Aron og sagde:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], 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, that murmur against me? I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the murmurings of the children of Israel [God prevails], 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.
Tell them, ‘As I live, says Adonai, surely as you have spoken in my 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 dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were counted of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who 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.
surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua [Yah Salvation] 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, that you said should be captured or killed, them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.
32 Men eders døde Kroppe, de skulle falde i denne Ørk.
But as for you, your dead bodies 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.
Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed 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 you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your depravities (moral evils), even forty years, and you will know my alienation.’
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, Adonai, have spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation, who 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,
The men, whom Moses [Drawn out] sent to spy out the land, who teshuvah ·completely returned·, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
37 ja de Mænd døde, som havde ført ondt Rygte ud om Landet, ved Plagen for Herrens Ansigt.
even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Adonai.
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 [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun, and Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.
39 Og Mose talede disse Ord til alle Israels Børn; da sørgede Folket saare.
Moses [Drawn out] told these words to all the children of Israel [God prevails], 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.
They rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Adonai has promised: for we have sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·.”
41 Men Mose sagde: Hvorfor overtræde I Herrens Befaling? det skal ikke lykkes.
Moses [Drawn out] said, “Why are you disobeying the order of Adonai? You shall not succeed!
42 Drager ikke op, thi Herren er ikke midt iblandt eder, at I ikke skulle blive slagne for eders Fjenders Ansigt.
Don’t go up, for Adonai is not among you; that you not be struck down 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 there the Amalekite [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] are before you, and you shall fall by the sword, because you turned back from following Adonai, therefore Adonai 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 to the top of the mountain. Nevertheless, the ark of Adonai’s covenant and Moses [Drawn out] didn’t depart 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 [Descendants of Man who licks up] came down, and the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
