5 Mosebog 32
1 Lyt til, I Himle, lad mig tale, Jorden høre mine Ord!
'Give ear, O heavens, and I speak; And thou dost hear, O earth, sayings 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.
Drop as rain doth My doctrine; Flow as dew doth My sayings; As storms on the tender grass, And as showers on the herb,
3 Thi HERRENS Navn vil jeg forkynde, Ære skal I give vor Gud!
For the Name of Jehovah I proclaim, Ascribe ye 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! — perfect [is] His work, For all His ways [are] just; God of stedfastness, and without iniquity: Righteous and upright [is] He.
5 Skændselsmennesker sveg ham, en forvendt og vanartet Slægt.
It hath done corruptly to Him; Their blemish is not His sons', A generation perverse and crooked!
6 Er det saadan, I lønner HERREN? Du taabelige, uvise Folk! Er han ej din Fader og Skaber, den, som gjorde og danned dig?
To Jehovah do ye act thus, O people foolish and not wise? Is not He thy father — thy possessor? He made thee, and doth establish thee.
7 Kom Fortidens Dage i Hu, agt paa henfarne Slægters Aar; spørg din Fader, han skal berette, dine gamle, de skal fortælle dig!
Remember days of old — Understand the years of many generations — Ask thy father, and he doth tell thee; Thine elders, and they say to thee:
8 Da den Højeste gav Folkene Eje, satte Skel mellem Menneskenes Børn, bestemte han Folkenes Grænser efter Tallet paa Guds Sønner,
In the Most High causing nations to inherit, In His separating sons of Adam — He setteth up the borders of the peoples By the number of the sons of Israel.
9 men HERRENS Del blev Jakob, Israel hans tilmaalte Lod.
For Jehovah's portion [is] His people, Jacob [is] the line of His 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 findeth him in a land — a desert, And in a void — a howling wilderness, He turneth him round — He causeth him to understand — He keepeth 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 waketh up its nest, Over its young ones fluttereth, Spreadeth its wings — taketh them, Beareth them on its pinions; —
12 HERREN var dets eneste Fører, ingen fremmed Gud var hos ham.
Jehovah alone doth lead him, And there is no strange god 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 maketh him ride on high places of earth, And he eateth increase of the fields, And He maketh him suck honey from a rock, And oil out of the flint of a rock;
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.
Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, and rams, sons of Bashan, And he-goats, with fat of kidneys of wheat; And of the blood of the grape thou dost drink 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.
And Jeshurun waxeth fat, and doth kick: Thou hast been fat — thou hast been thick, Thou hast been covered. And he leaveth God who made him, And dishonoureth the Rock of his salvation.
16 De æggede ham med fremmede, med Vederstyggeligheder tirrede de ham;
They make Him zealous with strangers, With abominations they make Him angry.
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 sacrifice to demons — no god! Gods they have not known — New ones — from the vicinity they came; Not feared them have your fathers!
18 Klippen, der avled dig, slog du af Tanke og glemte den Gud, der fødte dig!
The Rock that begat thee thou forgettest, And neglectest God who formeth thee.
19 Da HERREN saa det, forstødte han dem af Græmmelse over sine Børn
And Jehovah seeth and despiseth — For the provocation of His sons and His 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;
And He saith: I hide My face from them, I see what [is] their latter end; For a froward generation [are] they, Sons in whom is no stedfastness.
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 zealous by 'no-god,' They made Me angry by their vanities; And I make them zealous by 'no-people,' By a foolish nation I 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 hath been kindled in Mine anger, And it burneth unto Sheol — the lowest, And consumeth earth and its increase, And setteth on fire foundations of mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Jeg hober Ulykker over dem og opbruger mine Pile imod dem.
I gather upon them evils, Mine arrows I consume upon them.
24 De udmagres af Sult og hentæres af Pestglød og giftig Sot; saa sender jeg Vilddyrs Tænder og Slangers Gift imod dem.
Exhausted by famine, And consumed by heat, and bitter destruction. And the teeth of beasts I send upon them, With poison of fearful things of the dust.
25 Ude slaar Sværdet Børnene ned og inde i Kamrene Rædselen baade Yngling og Jomfru, diende Børn og graanende Mænd.
Without bereave doth the sword, And at the inner-chambers — fear, Both youth and virgin, Suckling with man of grey hair.
26 Jeg satte mig for at blæse dem bort og slette deres Minde blandt Mennesker ud,
I have said: I blow them away, I cause their remembrance to cease from man;
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 not — the anger of an enemy I fear, Lest their adversaries know — Lest they say, Our hand is high, And Jehovah hath not wrought all this.
28 Thi de er et raadvildt Folk, og i dem er der ikke Forstand.
For a nation lost to counsels [are] they, And there is no understanding in them.
29 Var de vise, forstod de det og indsaa, hvad der venter dem selv!
If they were wise — They deal wisely [with] this; They attend to their latter end:
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 doth one pursue a thousand, And two cause a myriad to flee! If not — that their rock hath sold them, And Jehovah hath shut them up?
31 Thi deres Klippe er ikke som vor, det ved vore Fjender bedst selv!
For not as our Rock [is] their rock, (And our enemies [are] judges!)
32 Thi fra Sodoma stammer deres Vinstok og fra Gomorras Marker; deres Druer er giftige Druer, og beske er deres Klaser;
For of the vine of Sodom their vine [is], And of the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes [are] grapes of gall — They have bitter clusters;
33 som Dragegift er deres Vin, som Øglers gruelige Edder.
The poison of dragons [is] their wine And the fierce venom of asps.
34 Er ej dette forvaret hos mig, forseglet i mine Gemmer
Is it not laid up with Me? Sealed 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.«
Mine [are] vengeance and recompense, At the due time — doth their foot slide; For near is a day of their calamity, And haste do things prepared for them.
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 Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants doth repent Himself. For He seeth — the going away of power, And none is restrained and left.
37 Da spørger han: »Hvor er nu deres Gud, Klippen, paa hvem de forlod sig,
And He hath said, Where [are] their gods — The rock in which they trusted;
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 the fat of their sacrifices do eat, They drink the wine of their libation! Let them arise and help you, Let it be for you a hiding-place!
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 ye, now, that I — I [am] He, And there is no god with Me: I put to death, and I keep alive; I have smitten, and I heal; And there is not from My hand a deliverer,
40 Thi jeg løfter min Haand mod Himlen og siger: Saa sandt jeg lever evindelig,
For I lift up unto the heavens My hand, And have said, I live — to the age!
41 jeg hvæsser mit lynende Sværd, og min Haand tager fat paa Dommen, jeg hævner mig paa mine Fjender, øver Gengæld mod mine Avindsmænd.
If I have sharpened the brightness of My sword, And My hand doth lay hold on judgment, I turn back vengeance to Mine adversaries, And to those hating Me — I repay!
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 make drunk Mine arrows with blood, And My sword devoureth flesh, From the blood of the pierced and captive, From the head of the freemen 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!
Sing ye nations — [with] his people, For the blood of His servants He avengeth, And vengeance He turneth back on His adversaries, And hath pardoned His land — His people.'
44 Og Moses kom og fremsagde hele denne Sang for Folket, han og Josua, Nuns Søn.
And Moses cometh and speaketh all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea son of Nun;
45 Og da Moses var færdig med at fremsige alle disse Ord for hele Israel,
and Moses finisheth to speak all these words unto 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;
and saith unto them, 'Set your heart to all the words which I am testifying against you to-day, that ye command your sons to observe to do 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 it [is] not a vain thing for you, for it [is] your life, and by this thing ye prolong days on the ground whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it.'
48 Selv samme Dag talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in this self-same day, saying,
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 unto this mount Abarim, mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, which [is] on the front of Jericho, and see the land of Canaan which I am giving to the sons of Israel for a 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 die in the mount whither thou art going up, and be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother hath died in the mount Hor, and is gathered unto 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.
'Because ye trespassed against me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribath-Kadesh, the wilderness of Zin — because ye sanctified Me not in the midst of the sons 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!«
but over-against thou seest the land, and thither thou dost not go in, unto the land which I am giving to the sons of Israel.'
