5 Mosebog 32
1 Lyt til, I Himle, lad mig tale, Jorden høre mine Ord!
Give ear, you heavens, and let me speak. Let the earth listen to 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 drop down like the rain, let my speech distill like the dew, like the gentle rain on the tender grass, and like the showers on the plants.
3 Thi HERRENS Navn vil jeg forkynde, Ære skal I give vor Gud!
For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh, and 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.
The Rock, his work is perfect; for all his paths are just. He is the faithful God, without iniquity. He is just and upright.
5 Skændselsmennesker sveg ham, en forvendt og vanartet Slægt.
They have acted corruptly against him. They are not his children. It is their disgrace. They are a perverted 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?
Do you reward Yahweh in this way, you foolish and senseless people? Is he not your father, the one who has created you? He 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!
Call to mind the days of ancient times, think about the years of many ages past. Ask your father and he will show you, your elders and they will tell 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 all of mankind, and he set the boundaries of the peoples, as he also fixed the number of their gods.
9 men HERRENS Del blev Jakob, Israel hans tilmaalte Lod.
For Yahweh's portion is his people; Jacob is his apportioned 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, and in the barren and howling wilderness; he shielded him and cared for 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 that guards her nest and flutters over her young, Yahweh spread out his wings and took them, and carried them on his pinions.
12 HERREN var dets eneste Fører, ingen fremmed Gud var hos ham.
Yahweh alone led him; 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 high places of the land, and he fed him the fruits 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.
He ate butter from the herd and drank milk from the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of Bashan and goats, with the finest of the wheat— and you drank foaming wine made from the juice of grapes.
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— you grew fat, you were too fat, and you had eaten your fill— he abandoned the God who made him, and he rejected the Rock of his salvation.
16 De æggede ham med fremmede, med Vederstyggeligheder tirrede de ham;
They made Yahweh jealous by their strange gods; with their abominations they angered him.
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, which are not God— gods they had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your fathers did not fear.
18 Klippen, der avled dig, slog du af Tanke og glemte den Gud, der fødte dig!
You have deserted the Rock, who became your father, and you forgot the God who gave you birth.
19 Da HERREN saa det, forstødte han dem af Græmmelse over sine Børn
Yahweh saw this and he rejected them, because his sons and his daughters provoked him so.
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;
“I will hide my face from them,” he said, “and I will see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation, children who are unfaithful.
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 made me jealous by what is not god and angered me by their worthless things. I will make them envious by those who are not a people; by a foolish nation I will make them angry.
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 is kindled by my anger and is burning to the lowest Sheol; it is devouring the earth and its harvest; it is setting on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Jeg hober Ulykker over dem og opbruger mine Pile imod dem.
I will heap disasters on them; I will shoot all my arrows at 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 by hunger and devoured by burning heat and bitter destruction; I will send on them the teeth of wild animals, with the poison of things that crawl 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 bereave, and in the bedrooms terror will do so. It will destroy both young man and virgin, the nursing baby, and the man of gray hairs.
26 Jeg satte mig for at blæse dem bort og slette deres Minde blandt Mennesker ud,
I said that I would scatter them far away, that I would make the memory of them to cease from among 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.
Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, and that their enemies would judge mistakenly, and that they would say, 'Our hand is exalted,' I would have done all this.
28 Thi de er et raadvildt Folk, og i dem er der ikke Forstand.
For Israel is a nation devoid of wisdom, and there is no understanding in them.
29 Var de vise, forstod de det og indsaa, hvad der venter dem selv!
Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their coming 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 chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had given them up?
31 Thi deres Klippe er ikke som vor, det ved vore Fjender bedst selv!
For our enemies' rock is not like our Rock, just as even our enemies admit.
32 Thi fra Sodoma stammer deres Vinstok og fra Gomorras Marker; deres Druer er giftige Druer, og beske er deres Klaser;
For their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, and from the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of poison; their clusters are bitter.
33 som Dragegift er deres Vin, som Øglers gruelige Edder.
Their wine is the poison of serpents and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Er ej dette forvaret hos mig, forseglet i mine Gemmer
Is not this plan secretly kept by me, sealed up among my treasures?
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 to give, and recompense, at the time when their foot slips; for the day of disaster for them is near, and the things that are to come on them will hurry to happen.”
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 Yahweh will give justice to his people, and he will pity his servants. He will see that their power is gone, and no one remains, either slaves or free people.
37 Da spørger han: »Hvor er nu deres Gud, Klippen, paa hvem de forlod sig,
Then he will say, “Where are their gods, the rock in whom 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!
The gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you; let them be your protection.
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, even I, am God, and that there is no god besides me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal, and there is no one who can save you from my might.
40 Thi jeg løfter min Haand mod Himlen og siger: Saa sandt jeg lever evindelig,
For I lift up my hand to heaven and say, 'As I live forever, I will act.
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 glittering sword, and when my hand begins to bring justice, I will render vengeance on my enemies, and I will pay back 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, and my sword will devour flesh with the blood of the killed and the captives, and from the heads of the leaders of the enemy.'”
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, you nations, with God's people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will render vengeance on his enemies, and he will make atonement for his land, for his people.
44 Og Moses kom og fremsagde hele denne Sang for Folket, han og Josua, Nuns Søn.
Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Joshua son of Nun.
45 Og da Moses var færdig med at fremsige alle disse Ord for hele Israel,
Then Moses 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, “Fix your mind on all the words that I have witnessed to you today, so that you may command your children to keep them, 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 this is no trivial matter for you, because it is your life, and through this thing you will prolong your days in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.”
48 Selv samme Dag talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh spoke to Moses on that same day and said,
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 this range of the mountains of Abarim, up Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho. You will look at the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel as their 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,
You will die on the mountain that you go up, and you will be gathered to your people, as Aaron your fellow Israelite 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.
This will happen because you were unfaithful to me among the people of Israel at the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you did not treat me with honor and respect among the people of Israel.
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!«
For you will see the land before you, but you will not go there, into the land that I am giving to the people of Israel.”
