5 Mosebog 32
1 Lyt til, I Himle, lad mig tale, Jorden høre mine Ord!
Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 Lad dryppe som Regn min Lære, lad flyde som Dug mit Ord, som Regnskyl paa unge Spirer, som Regnens Draaber paa Græs.
Let my teaching fall like rain and my speech settle like dew, like gentle rain on new grass, like showers on tender plants.
3 Thi HERRENS Navn vil jeg forkynde, Ære skal I give vor Gud!
For I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Ascribe greatness to our God!
4 Han er Klippen, fuldkomment hans Værk, thi alle hans Veje er Retfærd! En trofast Gud, uden Svig, retfærdig og sanddru er Han.
He is the Rock, His work is perfect; all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He.
5 Skændselsmennesker sveg ham, en forvendt og vanartet Slægt.
His people have acted corruptly toward Him; the spot on them is not that of His children, but of a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Er det saadan, I lønner HERREN? Du taabelige, uvise Folk! Er han ej din Fader og Skaber, den, som gjorde og danned dig?
Is this how you repay the LORD, O foolish and senseless people? Is He not your Father and Creator? Has He not made you and established you?
7 Kom Fortidens Dage i Hu, agt paa henfarne Slægters Aar; spørg din Fader, han skal berette, dine gamle, de skal fortælle dig!
Remember the days of old; consider the years long past. Ask your father, and he will tell you, your elders, and they will inform you.
8 Da den Højeste gav Folkene Eje, satte Skel mellem Menneskenes Børn, bestemte han Folkenes Grænser efter Tallet paa Guds Sønner,
When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
9 men HERRENS Del blev Jakob, Israel hans tilmaalte Lod.
But the LORD’s portion is His people, Jacob His allotted inheritance.
10 Han fandt det i Ørkenlandet, i Ødemarken, blandt Ørkenens Hyl; han værnede det med vaagent Øje og vogtede det som sin Øjesten.
He found him in a desert land, in a barren, howling wilderness; He surrounded him, He instructed him, He guarded him as the apple of His eye.
11 Som Ørnen, der purrer sin Yngel ud og svæver over sine Unger, løftede han det paa sit Vingefang og bar det paa sine Vinger.
As an eagle stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, He spread His wings to catch them and carried them on His pinions.
12 HERREN var dets eneste Fører, ingen fremmed Gud var hos ham.
The LORD alone led him, and no foreign god was with him.
13 Han lod det færdes over Landets Høje, nærede det med Markens Frugter, lod det suge Honning af Klippen og Olie af Bjergets Flint,
He made him ride on the heights of the land and fed him the produce of the field. He nourished him with honey from the rock and oil from the flinty crag,
14 Surmælk fra Køer, Mælk fra Smaakvæg, dertil Fedt af Lam og Vædre, af Tyre fra Basan og Bukke og Hvedens Fedme tillige, og Drueblod drak du, Vin.
with curds from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, with the choicest grains of wheat. From the juice of the finest grapes you drank the wine.
15 Men da Jesjurun blev fed, slog han bagud, du blev fed, du blev tyk, du blev mæsket; da forskød han Gud, sin Skaber, lod haant om sin Frelses Klippe.
But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked— becoming fat, bloated, and gorged. He abandoned the God who made him and scorned the Rock of his salvation.
16 De æggede ham med fremmede, med Vederstyggeligheder tirrede de ham;
They provoked His jealousy with foreign gods; they enraged Him with abominations.
17 de ofred til Dæmoner, der ej er Guder, til Guder, de ej før kendte til; til nye, der nys var kommet frem, og som ej eders Fædre frygtede.
They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they had not known, to newly arrived gods, which your fathers did not fear.
18 Klippen, der avled dig, slog du af Tanke og glemte den Gud, der fødte dig!
You ignored the Rock who brought you forth; you forgot the God who gave you birth.
19 Da HERREN saa det, forstødte han dem af Græmmelse over sine Børn
When the LORD saw this, He rejected them, provoked to anger by His sons and daughters.
20 og sagde: »Jeg vil skjule mit Aasyn for dem og se, hvad Ende det tager med dem; thi de er en bundfalsk Slægt, Børn, som er uden Troskab;
He said: “I will hide My face from them; I will see what will be their end. For they are a perverse generation— children of unfaithfulness.
21 de ægged mig med det, der ikke er Gud, tirrede mig ved deres tomme Gøgl: Jeg vil ægge dem med det, der ikke er et Folk, tirre dem ved et Folk af Daarer.
They have provoked My jealousy by that which is not God; they have enraged Me with their worthless idols. So I will make them jealous by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation without understanding.
22 Thi der flammer en Ild i min Vrede, som brænder til Dødsrigets Dyb; den fortærer Jorden med dens Grøde og antænder Bjergenes Grunde. (Sheol h7585)
For a fire has been kindled by My anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol; it consumes the earth and its produce, and scorches the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Jeg hober Ulykker over dem og opbruger mine Pile imod dem.
I will heap disasters upon them; I will spend My arrows against them.
24 De udmagres af Sult og hentæres af Pestglød og giftig Sot; saa sender jeg Vilddyrs Tænder og Slangers Gift imod dem.
They will be wasted from hunger and ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague; I will send the fangs of wild beasts against them, with the venom of vipers that slither in the dust.
25 Ude slaar Sværdet Børnene ned og inde i Kamrene Rædselen baade Yngling og Jomfru, diende Børn og graanende Mænd.
Outside, the sword will take their children, and inside, terror will strike the young man and the young woman, the infant and the gray-haired man.
26 Jeg satte mig for at blæse dem bort og slette deres Minde blandt Mennesker ud,
I would have said that I would cut them to pieces and blot out their memory from mankind,
27 men jeg frygtede, at Fjenden skulde volde mig Græmmelse, deres Avindsmænd tage fejl og tænke: Det var vor egen Haand, der var stærk, ej HERREN, der gjorde alt dette.
if I had not dreaded the taunt of the enemy, lest their adversaries misunderstand and say: ‘Our own hand has prevailed; it was not the LORD who did all this.’”
28 Thi de er et raadvildt Folk, og i dem er der ikke Forstand.
Israel is a nation devoid of counsel, with no understanding among them.
29 Var de vise, forstod de det og indsaa, hvad der venter dem selv!
If only they were wise, they would understand it; they would comprehend their fate.
30 Hvor skulde een kunne forfølge tusind, og to slaa ti Tusind paa Flugt, hvis ikke deres Klippe havde solgt dem og HERREN givet dem til Pris!
How could one man pursue a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?
31 Thi deres Klippe er ikke som vor, det ved vore Fjender bedst selv!
For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies concede.
32 Thi fra Sodoma stammer deres Vinstok og fra Gomorras Marker; deres Druer er giftige Druer, og beske er deres Klaser;
But their vine is from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; their clusters are bitter.
33 som Dragegift er deres Vin, som Øglers gruelige Edder.
Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras.
34 Er ej dette forvaret hos mig, forseglet i mine Gemmer
“Have I not stored up these things, sealed up within My vaults?
35 til Hævnens og Regnskabets Dag, den Stund, deres Fod skal vakle? Thi deres Undergangs Dag stunder til; hvad der venter dem, kommer i Hast.«
Vengeance is Mine; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; for their day of disaster is near, and their doom is coming quickly.”
36 Thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og forbarmer sig over sine Tjenere, thi han ser, deres Kraft er brudt, det er ude med hver og en.
For the LORD will vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants when He sees that their strength is gone and no one remains, slave or free.
37 Da spørger han: »Hvor er nu deres Gud, Klippen, paa hvem de forlod sig,
He will say: “Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
38 som aad deres Slagtofres Fedme og drak deres Drikofres Vin? Lad dem rejse sig og hjælpe eder, lad dem være eder et Skjul!
which ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you; let them give you shelter!
39 Erkend nu, at jeg, jeg er Gud uden anden Gud ved min Side. Jeg døder, jeg gør levende, jeg saarer, og jeg læger, og ingen kan frelse fra min Haand.
See now that I am He; there is no God besides Me. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal, and there is no one who can deliver from My hand.
40 Thi jeg løfter min Haand mod Himlen og siger: Saa sandt jeg lever evindelig,
For I lift up My hand to heaven and declare: As surely as I live forever,
41 jeg hvæsser mit lynende Sværd, og min Haand tager fat paa Dommen, jeg hævner mig paa mine Fjender, øver Gengæld mod mine Avindsmænd.
when I sharpen My flashing sword, and My hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on My adversaries and repay those who hate Me.
42 Mine Pile gør jeg drukne af Blod, og mit Sværd skal svælge i Kød, i faldnes og fangnes Blod og fjendtlige Høvdingers Hoveder!«
I will make My arrows drunk with blood, while My sword devours flesh— the blood of the slain and captives, the heads of the enemy leaders.”
43 I Folkeslag, pris hans Folk, thi han hævner sine Tjeneres Blod; han hævner sig paa sine Fjender, og skaffer sit Folks Land Soning!
Rejoice, O heavens, with Him, and let all God’s angels worship Him. Rejoice, O nations, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His children. He will take vengeance on His adversaries and repay those who hate Him; He will cleanse His land and His people.
44 Og Moses kom og fremsagde hele denne Sang for Folket, han og Josua, Nuns Søn.
Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people.
45 Og da Moses var færdig med at fremsige alle disse Ord for hele Israel,
When Moses had finished reciting all these words to all Israel,
46 sagde han til dem: »Læg eder alle de Ord paa Sinde, som jeg i Dag har vidnet imod eder, for at du kan paalægge dine Sønner dem, at de omhyggeligt maa handle efter alle denne Lovs Bud;
he said to them, “Take to heart all these words I testify among you today, so that you may command your children to carefully follow all the words of this law.
47 thi det er ikke tomme Ord uden Betydning for eder, men af dem afhænger eders Liv, og ved at følge det Ord skal I faa et langt Liv i det Land, som I skal ind og tage i Besiddelse efter at være gaaet over Jordan.«
For they are not idle words to you, because they are your life, and by them you will live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
48 Selv samme Dag talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
On that same day the LORD said to Moses,
49 »Stig op paa Abarimbjerget der, Nebobjerget i Moabs Land over for Jeriko, og se ud over Kana'ans Land, som jeg vil give Israeliterne i Eje!
“Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab across from Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites as their own possession.
50 Og saa skal du dø paa det Bjerg, du bestiger, og samles til din Slægt, ligesom din Broder Aron døde paa Bjerget Hor og samledes til sin Slægt,
And there on the mountain that you climb, you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.
51 fordi I handlede troløst imod mig iblandt Israeliterne ved Meribat-Kadesj's Vand i Zins Ørken, fordi I ikke helligede mig iblandt Israeliterne.
For at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you broke faith with Me among the Israelites by failing to treat Me as holy in their presence.
52 Thi her ovre fra skal du se ud over Landet, men du skal ikke komme derind, ind i det Land, jeg vil give Israeliterne!«
Although you shall see from a distance the land that I am giving the Israelites, you shall not enter it.”
