5 Mosebog 29
1 Det er den Pagts Ord, som HERREN bød Moses at slutte med Israeliterne i Moabs Land foruden den Pagt, han havde sluttet med dem ved Horeb.
These are the things that the Israelis were required to do to keep the agreement that Yahweh was making with them. Moses/I commanded them to keep this agreement [when they/we were] in the Moab region [on the east side of the Jordan River]. This was in addition to the agreement that Yahweh had made with them/us at Sinai [Mountain].
2 Og Moses kaldte hele Israel sammen og sagde til dem: I har set alt, hvad HERREN i Ægypten for eders Øjne gjorde ved Farao og alle hans Tjenere og hele hans Land,
Moses/I summoned all the Israeli people and said to them, “You saw [SYN] for yourselves what Yahweh did to the king of Egypt and to his officials and to his entire country.
3 de store Prøvelser, I saa med egne Øjne, disse store Tegn og Undere.
You [SYN] saw all the plagues [that Yahweh caused them to experience], and all the various miracles [DOU] [that Yahweh performed].
4 Men hidindtil har HERREN ikke givet eder Hjerte til at forstaa med eller Øjne til at se med eller Ører til at høre med.
But until now, Yahweh has not enabled you to understand [the meaning of] all that you have seen and heard.
5 I fyrretyve Aar har jeg ført eder om i Ørkenen; eders Klæder blev ikke slidt af Kroppen paa eder, og dine Sko blev ikke slidt af Fødderne paa dig;
For 40 years Yahweh has led you while you traveled/walked through the desert. During that time, your clothes and your sandals have not worn out.
6 Brød fik I ikke at spise, og Vin og stærk Drik fik I ikke at drikke, for at I skulde kende, at jeg er HERREN eders Gud.
You did not have bread to eat or wine or other fermented/strong drinks to drink, but Yahweh [took care of you], in order that you would know that he is your God.
7 Og da I kom til Stedet her, drog Kong Sihon af Hesjbon og Kong Og af Basan ud til Kamp imod os, men vi slog dem
“And when we came to this place, Sihon, the king who ruled in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], came [with their armies] to attack us, but we defeated them.
8 og erobrede deres Land og gav Rubeniterne og Gaditerne og Manasses halve Stamme det til Arvelod.
We took/conquered their land and divided it among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
9 Tag derfor Vare paa denne Pagts Ord og gør efter dem, for at I kan faa Lykke til al eders Gerning.
“So faithfully keep all of this agreement, in order that you will be successful in everything that you do.
10 I staar i Dag alle for HERREN eders Guds Aasyn, eders Stammeoverhoveder, Dommere, Ældste og Tilsynsmænd, hver Mand i Israel,
Today all of us are standing in the presence of Yahweh our God. The leaders of all our tribes, our elders, our officials, all you Israeli men,
11 eders Smaabørn og Hustruer og de fremmede, der opholder sig i din Lejr, baade dine Brændehuggere og Vandbærere,
your wives, your children, and the foreigners who live among you and cut wood for you and carry water for you, are here.
12 for at indtræde i HERREN din Guds Pagt og det Edsforbund, HERREN din Gud i Dag slutter med dig,
[We are here] today to promise to keep this solemn agreement with Yahweh.
13 for at han i Dag kan gøre dig til sit Folk, saa han bliver din Gud, som han lovede dig og tilsvor dine Fædre, Abraham, Isak og Jakob.
[He is making this agreement with you] in order to confirm that you are his people, and that he is your God. This agreement is what he promised you, and which is what he vowed to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
14 Og ikke med eder alene slutter jeg denne Pagt og dette Edsforbund,
This agreement is not only with you.
15 men baade med dem, der i Dag staar her hos os for HERREN vor Guds Aasyn, og med dem, der i Dag ikke er til Stede hos os her.
He is making this agreement with us [who are here today] and also with our descendants who are not yet born.
16 Thi I ved jo selv, at vi boede i Ægypten, og at vi drog igennem de forskellige Folkeslags Lande,
“You remember [the things that our ancestors suffered] in Egypt, and how they traveled through the land that belonged to other nations [after they came out of Egypt].
17 og I saa deres væmmelige Guder og de Afgudsbilleder af Træ og Sten, af Sølv og Guld, som de har.
In those countries they saw those disgusting idols made of wood and stone and [decorated with] silver and gold.
18 Saa lad der da ikke iblandt eder findes nogen Mand eller Kvinde, Slægt eller Stamme, hvis Hjerte i Dag vender sig bort fra HERREN vor Gud, saa de gaar hen og dyrker disse Folks Guder; lad der ikke iblandt eder findes nogen Rod, hvoraf Gift og Malurt vokser op,
So be sure that no man or woman or family or tribe that is here [today] turns away from Yahweh our God, to worship/serve the gods of those nations. Doing that would be like a root [of a plant that would grow] among you and bear poisonous and bitter fruit [MET].
19 saa at han, naar han hører dette Edsforbunds Ord, i sit Hjerte lover sig selv alt godt og tænker: »Det skal nok gaa mig vel, selv om jeg vandrer med genstridigt Hjerte!« Thi saa vil han ødelægge baade frodigt og tørt.
“Be sure that no one here today who hears this agreement thinks, ‘Everything will go well with me, even if I stubbornly do what I want to.’ If you are stubborn like that, the result will be that Yahweh will eventually get rid of all of you, both good people and evil people [MET].
20 HERREN vil ikke tilgive den Mand, nej, hans Vrede og Nidkærhed skal blusse op mod saadan en Mand, og al den Forbandelse, der er optegnet i denne Bog, vil lægge sig paa ham, og HERREN vil udslette hans Navn under Himmelen!
Yahweh will not forgive anyone who is [stubborn] like that. Instead, he will be extremely angry [DOU] with that person, and that person will experience all the curses that I have told you about, until Yahweh gets rid of that person and his family [IDM].
21 HERREN vil udskille ham af alle Israels Stammer og bringe Ulykke over ham i Overensstemmelse med alle de Pagtens Forbandelser, som er skrevet i denne Lovbog.
From all the tribes of Israel, Yahweh will separate that individual. Yahweh will cause him to experience all the disasters that I have listed in the agreement that states the things that Yahweh will do to curse [those who disobey] the laws [that I have written] in this scroll/book.
22 Og naar den kommende Slægt, eders Børn, der kommer efter eder, og de fremmede, der kommer langvejsfra, ser de Plager, der har ramt dette Land, og de Sygdomme, HERREN har hjemsøgt det med,
“In the future, your descendants and people from other countries will see the disasters and the illnesses that Yahweh has caused to happen to you.
23 Svovl og Salt, hele Landet afsvedet, saa det ikke kan tilsaaes og ingen Afgrøde give, og ingen Urter kan gro deri, som dengang Sodoma og Gomorra, Adma og Zebojim blev ødelagt, da HERREN lod dem gaa under i sin Vrede og Harme, da skal de spørge,
They will see that all your land has been ruined by burning sulfur and salt. Nothing will have been planted. Not even weeds will grow there. Your land will resemble Sodom and Gomorrah [cities], and Admah and Zeboiim [cities], which Yahweh destroyed when he was very angry [DOU] [with the people who lived there].
24 og alle Folkeslag skal spørge: »Hvorfor har HERREN handlet saaledes med dette Land? Hvorledes hænger det sammen med denne vældige Vredesglød?«
And the people from those other nations will ask, ‘Why did Yahweh do this to this land? Why was he very angry [with the people who lived here]?’
25 Saa skal man svare: »Det er, fordi de sveg den Pagt, HERREN, deres Fædres Gud, havde sluttet med dem, da han førte dem ud af Ægypten,
“Then other people will reply, ‘It is because they refused to keep the agreement that Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], had made with them when he brought them out of Egypt.
26 og gik hen og dyrkede fremmede Guder og tilbad dem, Guder, som de ikke før havde kendt til, og som han ikke havde tildelt dem;
Instead, they served/worshiped other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that Yahweh had told them not to worship.
27 derfor blussede HERRENS Vrede op imod dette Land, saa han lod al den Forbandelse, som er optegnet i denne Bog, komme over det,
So, Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people in this land, and he caused them to experience all the disasters that their leader warned them about.
28 og derfor oprykkede han dem fra deres Land i Vrede og Harme og heftig Forbitrelse og slængte dem ud i et fremmed Land, som det nu er sket.«
Yahweh became extremely angry [DOU] with them and took/yanked them [MET] out of their land and banished them into another land, and they are still there.’
29 De skjulte Ting er for HERREN vor Gud, men de aabenbare er for os og vore Børn evindelig, at vi maa lære at handle efter alle denne Lovs Ord!
“[There are some] things that Yahweh our God has (kept secret/not revealed), but he has revealed his laws to us, and [he expects] us and our descendants to obey them forever.”
