5 Mosebog 28
1 Men dersom du adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst og handler efter alle hans Bud, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig, saa vil HERREN din Gud sætte dig højt over alle Folk paa Jorden;
And it shall come to pass, if you will indeed hear the voice of the Lord your God, to observe and do all these commands, which I charge you this day, that the Lord your God shall set you on high above all the nations of the earth;
2 og alle disse Velsignelser vil komme over dig og naa dig, dersom du adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst:
and all these blessings shall come upon you, and shall find you. If you will indeed hear the voice of the Lord your God,
3 Velsignet skal du være i Staden, og velsignet skal du være paa Marken!
blessed [shall] you [be] in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field.
4 Velsignet dit Livs, din Jords og dit Kvægs Frugt, baade Tillægget af dine Okser og dit Smaakvægs Yngel!
Blessed shall be the offspring of your body, and the fruits of your land, and the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep.
5 Velsignet din Kurv og dit Dejgtrug!
Blessed shall be your barns, and your stores.
6 Velsignet skal du være, naar du gaar ind, og velsignet skal du være, naar du gaar ud!
Blessed shall you be in your coming in, and blessed shall you be in your going out.
7 Naar dine Fjender rejser sig imod dig, skal HERREN slaa dem paa Flugt foran dig; ad een Vej skal de drage ud imod dig, men ad syv skal de flygte for dig.
The Lord deliver your enemies that withstand you utterly broken before your face: they shall come out against you one way, and they shall flee seven ways from before you.
8 HERREN skal byde sin Velsignelse være med dig i dine Lader og i alt, hvad du tager dig for, og velsigne dig i det Land, HERREN din Gud giver dig.
The Lord send upon you his blessing in your barns, and on all on which you shall put your hand, in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
9 HERREN skal gøre dig til sit hellige Folk, som han tilsvor dig, naar du holder HERREN din Guds Bud og vandrer paa hans Veje.
The Lord raise you up for himself a holy people, as he sware to your fathers; if you will hear the voice of the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways.
10 Og alle Jordens Folk skal se, at HERRENS Navn er nævnet over dig, og frygte dig.
And all the nations of the earth shall see you, that the name of the Lord is called upon you, and they shall stand in awe of you.
11 HERREN skal give dig Goder i Overflod, Frugt af dit Moderliv, Frugt af dit Kvæg og Frugt af din Jord i det Land, HERREN tilsvor dine Fædre at ville give dig.
And the Lord your God shall multiply you for good in the offspring of your body, and in the offspring of your cattle, and in the fruits of your land, on your land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to you.
12 HERREN skal aabne dig sit rige Forraadskammer, Himmelen, for at give dit Land Regn i rette Tid og for at velsigne alt, hvad du tager dig for, og du skal laane ud til mange Folk, men selv skal du ikke laane.
May the Lord open to you his good treasure, the heaven, to give rain to your land in season: may he bless all the works of your hands: so shall you lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.
13 HERREN skal gøre dig til Hoved og ikke til Hale, og det skal stadig gaa opad for dig og ikke nedad, naar du lytter til HERREN din Guds Bud, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig, og omhyggeligt handler efter dem
The Lord your God make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall then be above and you shall not be below, if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, in all things that I charge you this day to observe.
14 uden at vige til højre eller venstre fra noget af de Bud, jeg i Dag paalægger eder, ved at holde dig til andre Guder og dyrke dem.
You shall not turn aside from any of the commandments, which I charge you this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15 Men hvis du ikke adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst og omhyggeligt handler efter alle hans Bud og Anordninger, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig, saa skal alle disse Forbandelser komme over dig og naa dig:
But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, to observe all his commandments, as many as I charge you this day, then all these curses shall come on you, and overtake you.
16 Forbandet skal du være i Staden, og forbandet skal du være paa Marken!
Cursed [shall] you [be] in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field.
17 Forbandet din Kurv og dit Dejgtrug!
Cursed shall be your barns and your stores.
18 Forbandet dit Livs og din Jords Frugt, Tillægget af dine Okser og dit Smaakvægs Yngel!
Cursed shall be the offspring of your body, and the fruits of your land, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep.
19 Forbandet skal du være, naar du gaar ind, og forbandet skal du være, naar du gaar ud!
Cursed shall you be in your coming in, and cursed shall you be in your going out.
20 HERREN skal sende Forbandelsen, Rædselen og Truselen over dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for, indtil du i en Hast bliver tilintetgjort og gaar til Grunde for dine onde Gerningers Skyld, fordi du forlod mig.
The Lord send upon you lack, and famine, and consumption of all things on which you shall put your hand, until he shall have utterly destroyed you, and until he shall have consumed you quickly because of your evil devices, because you have forsaken me.
21 HERREN skal lade Pesten hænge ved dig, indtil den helt har udryddet dig fra det Land, du skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.
The Lord cause the pestilence to cleave to you, until he shall have consumed you off the land into which you go to inherit it.
22 HERREN skal ramme dig med Svindsot, Feberglød, Betændelse og Hede, med Tørke, Kornbrand og Rust, og de skal forfølge dig, indtil du er gaaet til Grunde.
The Lord strike you with distress, and fever, and cold, and inflammation, and blighting, and paleness, and they shall pursue you until they have destroyed you.
23 Himmelen over dit Hoved skal blive som Kobber, Jorden under dig som Jern.
And you shall have over your head a sky of brass, and the earth under you shall be iron.
24 Regnen over dit Land skal HERREN forvandle til Sand og Støv, som falder ned over dig fra Himmelen, indtil du er ødelagt.
The Lord your God make the rain of your land dust; and dust shall come down from heaven, until it shall have destroyed you, and until it shall have quickly consumed you.
25 HERREN skal slaa dig foran dine Fjender; ad een Vej skal du drage ud imod dem, men ad syv skal du flygte for dem, og du skal blive en Skræmsel for alle Riger paa Jorden.
The Lord give you up for slaughter before your enemies: you shall go out against them one way, and flee from their face seven ways; and you shall be a dispersion in all the kingdoms of the earth.
26 Dine Lig skal blive Føde for alle Himmelens Fugle og Jordens vilde Dyr, og ingen skal skræmme dem bort.
And your dead men shall be food to the birds of the sky, and to the beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to scare them away.
27 HERREN skal slaa dig med Ægyptens Svulster, med Bylder, Skab og Skurv, der ikke kan læges.
The Lord strike you with the botch of Egypt in the seat, and with a malignant scab, and itch, so that you can not be healed.
28 HERREN skal slaa dig med Vanvid, Blindhed og Vildelse.
The Lord strike you with insanity, and blindness, and astonishment of mind.
29 Ved højlys Dag skal du famle dig frem, som den blinde famler sig frem i Mørket; alt, hvad du tager dig for, skal mislykkes for dig, du skal kues og plyndres alle Dage, og ingen skal frelse dig.
And you shall grope at mid-day, as a blind man would grope in the darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways; and then you shall be unjustly treated, and plundered continually, and there shall be no helper.
30 Den Kvinde, du trolover dig med, skal en anden favne; det Hus, du bygger dig, skal du ikke komme til at bo i; den Vingaard, du planter, skal du ikke plukke Druer i;
you shall take a wife, and another man shall have her; you shall build a house, and you shall not dwell in it; you shall plant a vineyard, and shall not gather the grapes of it.
31 din Okse skal slagtes for dine Øjne, men du skal ikke spise deraf; dit Æsel skal røves i dit Paasyn og ikke komme tilbage til dig; dit Smaakvæg skal komme i Fjendevold, og ingen skal hjælpe dig;
Your calf [shall be] slain before you, and you shall not eat of it; your ass shall be violently taken away from you, and shall not be restored to you: your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have no helper.
32 dine Sønner og Døtre skal prisgives et fremmed Folk, og med egne Øjne skal du se det og vansmægte af Længsel efter dem Dagen lang, uden at du formaar noget.
Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another nation, and your eyes wasting away shall look for them: your hand shall have no strength.
33 Frugten af dit Land og af al din Møje skal fortæres af et Folk, du ikke kender; du skal kues og mishandles alle Dage;
A nation which you know not shall eat the produce of your land, and all your labors; and you shall be injured and crushed always.
34 du skal blive afsindig ved alt, hvad du maa se paa.
And you shall be distracted, because of the sights of your eyes which you shall see.
35 HERREN skal slaa dig paa Knæ og Læg med onde Svulster, der ikke kan læges, ja fra Fodsaal til Isse.
The Lord strike you with an evil sore, on the knees and the legs, so that you shall not be able to be healed from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head.
36 Dig og din Konge, som du sætter over dig, skal HERREN føre til et Folk, som hverken du eller dine Fædre før kendte til, og der skal du dyrke fremmede Guder, Træ og Sten.
The Lord carry away you and your princes, whom you shall set over you, to a nation which neither you nor your fathers know; and you shall there serve other gods, wood and stone.
37 Du skal blive til Rædsel, Spot og Spe for alle de Folk, HERREN fører dig hen til.
An you shall be there for a wonder, and a parable, and a tale, among all the nations, to which the Lord your God shall carry you away.
38 Udsæd i Mængde skal du bringe ud paa Marken, men kun høste lidt, thi Græshopperne skal fortære den;
You shall carry forth much seed into the field, and you shall bring in little, because the locust shall devour it.
39 Vingaarde skal du plante og dyrke, men Vin skal du ikke komme til at drikke eller oplagre, thi Ormene skal opæde Druen;
You shall plant a vineyard, and dress it, and shall not drink the wine, neither shall you delight yourself with it, because the worm shall devour it.
40 Oliventræer skal du have overalt i dit Land, men med Olie skal du ikke komme til at salve dig, thi dine Oliven skal falde af.
You shall have olive trees in all your borders, and you shall not anoint you with oil, because your olive shall utterly cast [its fruit].
41 Sønner og Døtre skal du avle, men du skal ikke beholde dem, thi de skal gaa i Fangenskab.
You shall beget sons and daughters, and they shall not be [your], for they shall depart into captivity.
42 Alle dine Træer og dit Lands Afgrøde skal Insekterne bemægtige sig.
All your trees and the fruits of your land shall the blight consume.
43 Den fremmede, som er hos dig, skal hæve sig op over dig, højere og højere, men du skal synke dybere og dybere.
The stranger that is within you shall get up very high, and you shall come down very low.
44 De skal laane til dig, men du skal ikke laane til dem; de skal blive Hoved, og du skal blive Hale.
He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him: he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.
45 Alle disse Forbandelser skal komme over dig, forfølge dig og naa dig, til du er lagt øde, fordi du ikke adlød HERREN din Guds Røst, saa du holdt hans Bud og Anordninger, som han paalagde dig;
And all these curses shall come upon you, and shall pursue you, and shall overtake you, until he shall have consumed you, and until he shall have destroyed you; because you did not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commands, and his ordinances which he has commanded you.
46 de skal til evig Tid følge dig og dit Afkom som Tegn og Undere.
And [these things] shall be signs in you, and wonders among your seed for ever;
47 Eftersom du ikke vilde tjene HERREN din Gud med Fryd og Hjertens Glæde, fordi du havde Overflod paa alt,
because you did not serve the Lord your God with gladness and a good heart, because of the abundance of all things.
48 skal du komme til at tjene dine Fjender, som HERREN vil sende imod dig, under Hunger og Tørst, Nøgenhed og Mangel paa alt; han skal lægge Jernaag paa din Nakke, indtil de har lagt dig øde.
And you shall serve your enemies, which the Lord will send forth against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in the lack of all things; and you shall wear upon your neck a yoke of iron until he shall have destroyed you.
49 HERREN skal opbyde imod dig et Folk fra det fjerne, fra Jordens yderste Ende, et Folk med Ørnens Flugt, et Folk, hvis Sprog du ikke forstaar,
The Lord shall bring upon you a nation from the extremity of the earth, like the swift flying of an eagle, a nation whose voice you shall not understand;
50 et Folk med haarde Ansigter, der ikke tager Hensyn til de gamle eller viser Skaansel mod de unge;
a nation bold in countenance, which shall not respect the person of the aged and shall not pity the young.
51 det skal opæde dit Kvægs og din Jords Frugt, indtil du er lagt øde; det skal ikke levne dig Korn, Most eller Olie, tillæg af dine Okser eller Yngel af dit Smaakvæg, indtil det har tilintetgjort dig;
And it shall eat up the young of your cattle, and the fruits of your land, so as not to leave to you corn, wine, oil, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep, until it shall have destroyed you;
52 det skal belejre dig i alle dine Byer, indtil dine høje, stærke Mure, som du stoler paa, er styrtet sammen overalt i dit Land; det skal besejre dig overalt inden dine Porte overalt i dit Land, som HERREN din Gud giver dig.
and have utterly crushed you in your cities, until the high and strong walls be destroyed, in which you trust, in all your land; and it shall afflict you in your cities, which he has given to you.
53 Og du skal fortære din Livsfrugt, Kødet af dine Sønner og Døtre, som HERREN din Gud giver dig, under den Trængsel og Nød, din Fjende bringer over dig;
And you shall eat the fruit of your body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, all that he has given you, in your straitness and your affliction, with which your enemy shall afflict you.
54 selv den mest forvænte og blødagtige af dine Mænd skal se skævt til sin Broder, til sin Hustru, der hviler i hans Favn, og til de sidste Sønner, han har tilbage,
He that is tender and very delicate within you shall look with an evil eye upon his brother, and the wife in his bosom, and the children that are left, which may have been left to him;
55 saa han ikke under en eneste af dem Kødet af sine Børn, som han fortærer, fordi der ikke er levnet ham noget under den Trængsel og Nød, din Fjende bringer over dig overalt inden dine Porte.
so as [not] to give to one of them of the flesh of his children, whom he shall eat, because of his having nothing left him in your straitness, and in your affliction, with which your enemies shall afflict you in all your cities.
56 Og den mest forvænte og blødagtige af dine Kvinder, som aldrig har prøvet at træde med sin Fod paa Jorden for Blødagtighed og Forvænthed, skal se skævt til sin Mand, der hviler i hendes Favn, og til sin Søn og Datter,
And she that is tender and delicate among you, whose foot has not assayed to go upon the earth for delicacy and tenderness, shall look with an evil eye on her husband in her bosom, and her son and her daughter,
57 saa hun ikke under dem Efterbyrden, der gaar fra hende, eller de Børn, hun føder; men i Mangel paa alt fortærer hun dem selv i Løndom under den Trængsel og Nød, din Fjende bringer over dig inden dine Porte!
and her offspring that comes out between her feet, and the child which she shall bear; for she shall eat them because of the lack of all things, secretly in your straitness, and in your affliction, with which your enemy shall afflict you in your cities.
58 Hvis du ikke omhyggeligt handler efter alle denne Lovs Ord, som staar skrevet i denne Bog, og frygter dette herlige og forfærdelige Navn, HERREN din Gud,
If you will not listen to do all the words of this law, which have been written in this book, to fear this glorious and wonderful name, the Lord your God;
59 saa skal HERREN sende uhørte Plager over dig og dit Afkom, svare og vedholdende Plager og ondartede, vedholdende Sygdomme,
then the Lord shall magnify your plagues, and the plagues of your seed, great and wonderful plagues, and evil and dwelling diseases.
60 og lade alle Ægyptens Sygdomme, som du gruer for, komme over dig, og de skal hænge ved dig;
And he shall bring upon you all the evil pain of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cleave to you.
61 ja endog alle mulige Sygdomme og Plager, som der ikke er skrevet om i denne Lovbog, skal HERREN lade komme over dig, til du er lagt øde.
And the Lord shall bring upon you every sickness, and every plague that is not written, and every one that is written in the book of this law, until he shall have destroyed you.
62 Medens I før var talrige som Himmelens Stjerner, skal der kun blive nogle faa Mænd tilbage af eder, fordi du ikke adlød HERREN din Guds Røst.
And you shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of the sky in multitude; because you did not listen to the voice of the Lord your God.
63 Og ligesom HERREN før havde sin Glæde af at gøre vel imod eder og gøre eder mangfoldige, saaledes skal HERREN da have sin Glæde af at tilintetgøre eder og lægge eder øde, og I skal drives bort fra det Land, du nu skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.
And it shall come to pass that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you; and you shall be quickly removed from the land, into which you go to inherit it.
64 HERREN skal adsplitte dig blandt alle Folkeslagene fra den ene Ende af Jorden til den anden, og der skal du dyrke fremmede Guder, som hverken du eller dine Fædre før kendte til, Træ og Sten;
And the Lord your God shall scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other; and you shall there serve other gods, wood and stone, which you have not known, nor your fathers.
65 og blandt disse Folk skal du ikke faa Ro eller finde Hvile for din Fod; thi der skal HERREN give dig et skælvende Hjerte, udtærede Øjne og en vansmægtende Sjæl.
Moreover among those nations he will not give you quiet, neither by any means shall the sole of your foot have rest; and the Lord shall give you there another and a misgiving heart, and failing eyes, and a wasting soul.
66 Det skal synes dig, som hang dit Liv i en Traad; du skal ængstes ved Dag og ved Nat og aldrig føle dig sikker paa dit Liv.
And your life shall be in suspense before your eyes; and you shall be afraid by day and by night, and you shall have no assurance of your life.
67 Om Morgenen skal du sige: »Gid det var Aften!« Og om Aftenen: »Gid det var Morgen!« Saadan Angst skal du gribes af, og saa forfærdeligt bliver det, dine Øjne faar at se.
In the morning you shall say, Would it were evening! and in the evening you shall say, Would it were morning! for the fear of your heart with which you shall fear, and for the sights of your eyes which you shall see.
68 Og HERREN skal føre dig tilbage til Ægypten paa Skibe, ad den Vej, som jeg lovede dig, du aldrig mere skulde faa at se; og der skal I stille eder til Salg for eders Fjender som Trælle og Trælkvinder, men der skal ingen være, som vil købe eder!
And the Lord shall bring you back to Egypt in ships, by the way of which I said, You shall not see it again; and you shall be sold there to your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and none shall buy you.
