Salme 105
1 Priser Herren, paakalder hans Navn, kundgører hans Gerninger iblandt Folkene!
Give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make his deeds known among the peoples.
2 Synger for ham, spiller for ham, taler om alle hans underfulde Gerninger!
Sing to him, sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
3 Roser eder af hans hellige Navn; deres Hjerte glæder sig, som søge Herren!
Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
4 Spørger efter Herren og hans Magt, søger hans Ansigt alle Tider!
Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
5 Ihukommer hans underfulde Gerninger, som han har gjort, hans Jærtegn og hans Munds Domme.
Remember his marvelous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
6 I, hans Tjener Abrahams Sæd! Jakobs Børn, hans udvalgte!
you offspring of Abraham, his servant, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7 Han er Herren vor Gud; hans Domme ere over al Jorden.
He is the LORD, our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
8 Han kommer evindelig sin Pagt i Hu, det Ord, som han har befalet til tusinde Slægter,
He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
9 som han har indgaaet med Abraham, og sin Ed til Isaak,
the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,
10 hvilken han opstillede for Jakob til en Skik, for Israel til en evig Pagt
and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11 sigende: Dig vil jeg give Kanaans Land til eders Arvs Lod;
saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;"
12 der de vare en liden Hob, faa og fremmede deri;
when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
13 og de vandrede fra Folk til Folk, fra et Rige til et andet Folkefærd.
They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
14 Han tillod intet Menneske at gøre dem Vold og revsede Konger for deres Skyld:
He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
15 „Rører ikke mine salvede og gører ikke mine Profeter noget ondt‟.
"Do not touch my anointed ones. Do my prophets no harm."
16 Og han kaldte Hunger over Landet, han formindskede alt Brøds Forraad.
He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.
17 Han sendte en Mand forud for dem; til Træl blev Josef solgt.
He sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, sold as a slave.
18 De plagede hans Fødder i Stokken; han selv kom i Jern
They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,
19 indtil den Tid, da hans Ord traf ind, da Herrens Tale havde lutret ham.
until the time that his word happened, and the LORD's word proved him true.
20 Kongen sendte hen og lod ham løs; han, som herskede over Folkene, gav ham fri.
The king sent and freed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21 Han satte ham til Herre over sit Hus og til Hersker over alt sit Gods,
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions;
22 at han kunde binde hans Fyrster efter sin Villie og lære hans Ældste Visdom.
to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
23 Saa kom Israel til Ægypten og Jakob boede som fremmed i Kams Land.
Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 Men sit Folk gjorde han saare frugtbart og mægtigere end dets Modstandere.
He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.
25 Disses Sind omskiftede han, saa at de hadede hans Folk og handlede træskelig imod hans Tjenere.
He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.
26 Han sendte Mose, sin Tjener, Aron, som han havde udvalgt.
He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27 De kundgjorde hans Tegns Ord iblandt dem og hans Undere i Kams Land.
They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 Han sendte Mørke og lod det blive mørkt, og de vare ikke genstridige imod hans Ord.
He sent darkness, and made it dark, but they rebelled against his words.
29 Han vendte deres Vande om til Blod og dræbte deres Fisk.
He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.
30 Deres Land vrimlede af Frøer lige indtil i deres Kongers Kamre.
Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings.
31 Han talte, saa kom der Utøj, Lus, over hele deres Landemærke.
He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and gnats in all their territory.
32 Han lod deres Regnbyger blive til Hagel, til Ildslue i deres Land.
He gave them hail for rain, flaming fire in their land.
33 Og han slog deres Vinstokke og deres Figentræer og sønderbrød Træerne inden deres Landemærke.
He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.
34 Han talte, saa kom der Græshopper og Høskrækker, og der var ikke Tal paa dem.
He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, without number,
35 Og de aade alle Urter i deres Land, og de aade Frugten paa deres Mark.
ate up every plant in their land; and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 Han slog og alt førstefødt i deres Land, Førstegrøden af al deres Kraft.
He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.
37 Men hine førte han ud med Sølv og Guld, og der var ingen skrøbelig iblandt deres Stammer.
And he brought them out with silver and gold, and there was no one among their tribes who stumbled.
38 Ægypten blev glad, der de droge ud; thi Frygt for dem var falden paa det.
Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.
39 Han udbredte en Sky til Skjul og en Ild til at lyse om Natten.
He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.
40 De bade, saa lod han Vagtler komme og mættede dem med Himmelbrød.
They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
41 Han oplod en Klippe, og der flød Vand, det løb igennem de tørre Steder som en Flod.
He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.
42 Thi han kom sit hellige Ord i Hu og sin Tjener Abraham.
For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
43 Og han førte sit Folk ud med Glæde, sine udvalgte med Frydeskrig.
He brought forth his people with joy, his chosen with singing.
44 Og han gav dem Hedningernes Lande; og de arvede, hvad Folkene havde haft Møje for,
He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
45 paa det de skulde holde hans Skikke og bevare hans Love. Halleluja!
that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the LORD.
