5 Mosebog 33
1 Dette er den Velsignelse, hvormed den Guds Mand Moses velsignede Israel før sin Død.
And this [is] the blessing [with] which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death,
2 Han sagde: HERREN kom fra Sinaj, fra Se'ir fremstraaled han for dem, brød frem i Lysglans fra Parans Bjerge og kom fra Meribat-Kadesj. Ved hans højre lued Ild dem i Møde.
and he says: “YHWH has come from Sinai, And has risen from Seir for them; He has shone from Mount Paran, And has come [with] myriads of holy ones; At His right hand [came] a fiery law [[or a flaming fire]] for them.
3 Visselig, han elsker sit Folk, alle hans hellige er i hans Hænder; og de sætter sig ved din Fod og tager mod Ord fra dig.
Indeed, He [is] loving the peoples; All His holy ones [are] in Your hand, And they sat down at Your foot, [Each] lifts up Your words.
4 En Lov har Moses paalagt os. Hans Eje er Jakobs Forsamling,
Moses has commanded a law for us, A possession of the assembly of Jacob.
5 og han blev Konge i Jesjurun, da Folkets Høvdinger kom sammen, og Israels Stammer forsamled sig.
And He is King in Yeshurun, In the heads of the people gathering together, The tribes of Israel!
6 Maatte Ruben leve og ikke dø, hans Mænd blive dog et Tal!
Let Reuben live, and not die, And let his men be an [incalculable] number.
7 Og disse Ord sagde han om Juda: Hør, HERRE, Judas Raab og lad ham komme til sit Folk! Strid for ham med dine Hænder, vær ham en Hjælp mod hans Fjender!
And this [is] for Judah, and he says: Hear, O YHWH, the voice of Judah, And You bring him in to his people; His hand has striven for him, And You are a help from his adversaries.
8 Om Levi sagde han: Giv Levi dine Tummim, din Yndling dine Urim, ham, som du prøved ved Massa og bekæmped ved Meribas Vand,
And of Levi he said: Your Perfections and your Lights [are] for your pious one, Whom You have tried in Massah, You strive with him at the waters of Meribah;
9 som sagde om sin Fader: »Jeg saa ham aldrig!« som ikke brød sig om sine Brødre og ikke kendtes ved sine Sønner, thi de holdt dit Ord og holdt fast ved din Pagt.
Who is saying of his father and his mother, I have not seen him; And he has not discerned his brothers, And he has not known his sons; For they have observed Your saying, And they keep Your covenant.
10 De skal lære Jakob dine Lovbud og Israel din Lov, bringe Offerduft op i din Næse og Helofre paa dine Altre.
They teach Your judgments to Jacob, And Your law to Israel; They put incense in Your nose, And whole burnt-offering on Your altar.
11 Velsign, o HERRE, hans Kraft, find Behag i hans Hænders Værk. Knus Lænderne paa hans Fjender, paa hans Avindsmænd, saa de ej rejser sig mer!
Bless, O YHWH, his strength, And accept the work of his hands, Strike the loins of his withstanders, And of those hating him—that they do not rise!
12 Om Benjamin sagde han: Benjamin er HERRENS Yndling, han bor bestandig i Tryghed, den Højeste skærmer ham og bor imellem hans Skrænter.
Of Benjamin he said: The beloved of YHWH dwells confidently by Him, Covering him over every day; Indeed, he dwells between His shoulders.
13 Om Josef sagde han: Hans Land er velsignet af HERREN med det kosteligste fra Himlen oventil og fra Dybet, som ruger forneden,
And of Joseph he said: His land [is] blessed [by] YHWH, By a precious thing of the heavens, By dew, and by the deep crouching beneath,
14 med det kosteligste, Solen frembringer, med det kosteligste, Maaneskifterne fremkalder,
And by a precious thing—fruits of the sun, And by a precious thing—cast forth by the months,
15 med det bedste fra de ældgamle Bjerge og det kosteligste fra de evige Høje,
And by a chief thing—of the ancient mountains, And by a precious thing—of the continuous heights,
16 med det kosteligste af Jorden og dens Fylde og Naade fra ham, der boede i Tornebusken. Det skal komme over Josefs Hoved, over Issen paa ham, som er Hersker blandt sine Brødre.
And by a precious thing—of earth and its fullness, And the good pleasure of Him who is dwelling in the bush; Let it come for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of him [who is] separate from his brothers.
17 Som den unge Okses er hans Højhed, som Vildoksens er hans Horn; med dem nedstøder han Folkene, saa vidt som Jorden strækker sig. Saadan er Efraims Titusinder, saadan er Manasses Tusinder!
His splendor [is] a firstling of his ox, And his horns [are] horns of a wild ox; With them he pushes the peoples Altogether to the ends of the earth; And they [are] the myriads of Ephraim, And they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.
18 Om Zebulon sagde han: Glæd dig, Zebulon, over din Udfart, du, Issakar, over dine Telte!
And of Zebulun he said: Rejoice, O Zebulun, in your going out, And, O Issachar, in your tents;
19 Til Bjerget stævner de Folkeslag, der ofrer de Retfærds Ofre, thi Havets Overflod dier de og Havsandets skjulteste Skatte!
They call peoples [to] the mountain, There they sacrifice righteous sacrifices; For they suck up the abundance of the seas, And hidden things hidden in the sand.
20 Om Gad sagde han: Priset være han, der skaffer Plads for Gad! Han ligger som en Løve og flænger baade Arme og Hjerneskal;
And of Gad he said: Blessed is he who is enlarging Gad, He dwells as a lioness, And has torn the arm—also the crown!
21 han udsaa sig en Forlodsdel, thi der tilfaldt hans Lod ham. Og Folkets Høvdinger samled sig. Han fuldbyrdede HERRENS Ret og hans Beslutninger sammen med Israel!
And he provides the first part for himself, For there the portion of the lawgiver is covered, And he comes [with] the heads of the people; He has done the righteousness of YHWH, And His judgments with Israel.
22 Om Dan sagde han: Dan er en Løveunge, som springer frem fra Basan.
And of Dan he said: Dan [is] a lion’s whelp; He leaps from Bashan.
23 Om Naftali sagde han: Naftali er mæt af Naade og fuld af HERRENS Velsignelse, Søen og Søvejen har han i Eje.
And of Naphtali he said: O Naphtali, satisfied with pleasure, And full of the blessing of YHWH, Possess [the] west and [the] south.
24 Om Aser sagde han: Aser være den velsignede blandt Sønnerne, han være sine Brødres Yndling og dyppe sin Fod i Olie!
And of Asher he said: Asher [is] blessed with sons, Let him be accepted by his brothers, And dipping his foot in oil.
25 Dine Portslaaer er Jern og Kobber, som dine Dage skal din Styrke være.
Iron and bronze [are] your shoes, And as your days—your strength.
26 Der er ingen som Jesjuruns Gud, der farer frem over Himmelen for at hjælpe dig, over Skyerne i sin Højhed!
[There is] none like the God of Yeshurun, Riding the heavens to your help, And in His excellence the skies.
27 Den evige Gud er en Bolig, og hernede er de evige Arme. Fjenden drev han bort for dit Aasyn og sagde: »Tilintetgør dem!«
The eternal God [is] a habitation, And beneath [are] continuous arms. And He casts out the enemy from your presence and says, Destroy!
28 Saa kom Israel til at bo i Tryghed, Jakobkilden for sig selv, i et Land med Korn og Most, ja, hvis Himmel drypper med Dug.
And Israel dwells [in] confidence alone; The eye of Jacob [is] to a land of grain and wine; Also His heavens drop down dew.
29 Held dig, Israel, hvo er som du, et Folk, der faar Sejr ved HERREN! Han er din Frelses Skjold, haner din Højheds Sværd. Dine Fjender slesker for dig, over deres Høje skrider du frem.
O your blessedness, O Israel! Who is like you? A people saved by YHWH, The shield of your help, And He who [is] the sword of your excellence! And your enemies are subdued for you, And you tread on their high places.”
