2 Mosebog 32
1 Men da Folket saa, at Moses tøvede med at komme ned fra Bjerget, samlede det sig om Aron, og de sagde til ham: »Kom og lav os en Gud, som kan drage foran os, thi vi ved ikke, hvad der er blevet af denne Moses, der førte os ud af Ægypten!«
When the people saw that Moses [Drawn out] delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron [Light-bringer], and said to him, “Come, make us deities, which shall lead us; for this Moses [Drawn out], the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], we don’t know what has become of him.”
2 Da sagde Aron til dem: »Riv de Guldringe af, som eders Hustruer, Sønner og Døtre har i Ørene, og bring mig dem!«
Aaron [Light-bringer] said to them, “Take off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.”
3 Saa rev hele Folket deres Guldørenringe af og bragte dem til Aron.
All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron [Light-bringer].
4 Og han modtog dem af deres Haand, formede Guldet med en Mejsel og lavede en støbt Tyrekalv deraf. Da sagde de: »Her, Israel, er din Gud, som førte dig ud af Ægypten!«
He received what they handed him, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said, “These are your deities, Israel [God prevails], which brought you up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].”
5 Og da Aron saa det, byggede han et Alter for den, og Aron lod kundgøre: »I Morgen er det Højtid for HERREN!«
When Aaron [Light-bringer] saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron [Light-bringer] made a proclamation, and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to Adonai.”
6 Tidligt næste Morgen ofrede de saa Brændofre og bragte Takofre og Folket satte sig til at spise og drikke, og derpaa stod de op for at lege.
They rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to pray.
7 Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Skynd dig og stig ned, thi dit Folk, som du førte ud af Ægypten, har handlet ilde;
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], “Go, get down; for your people, who you brought up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], have corrupted themselves!
8 hastigt veg de bort fra den Vej jeg bød dem at vandre; de har lavet sig en støbt Tyrekalv og tilbedt den og ofret til den med de Ord: Her, Israel, er din Gud, som førte dig ud af Ægypten!«
They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I enjoined them. They have made themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, ‘These are your deities, Israel [God prevails], which brought you up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].’”
9 Og HERREN sagde til Moses: »Jeg har iagttaget dette Folk og set, at det er et halsstarrigt Folk.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
10 Lad mig nu raade, at min Vrede kan blusse op imod dem saa vil jeg tilintetgøre dem; men dig vil jeg gøre til et stort Folk!«
Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you a great nation.”
11 Men Moses bønfaldt HERREN sin Gud og sagde: »Hvorfor HERRE skal din Vrede blusse op mod dit Folk, som du førte ud af Ægypten med vældig Kraft og stærk Haand?
Moses [Drawn out] begged Adonai his God, and said, “Adonai, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have brought out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] with great power and with a mighty hand?
12 Hvorfor skal Ægypterne kunne sige: I ond Hensigt førte han dem ud, for at slaa dem ihjel ude mellem Bjergene og udrydde dem af Jorden? Lad din Vredes Glød høre op, og anger den Ulykke, du vilde gøre dit Folk!
Why should the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] speak, saying, ‘He brought them out for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the surface of the earth?’ Turn from your fierce wrath, and teshuvah ·turn repent· of this evil against your people.
13 Kom Abraham, Isak og Israel i Hu, dine Tjenere, hvem du tilsvor ved dig selv: Jeg vil gøre eders Afkom talrigt som Himmelens Stjerner, og jeg vil give eders Afkom hele det Land, hvorom jeg har talet, og de skal eje det evindelig!«
Remember Abraham [Father of a multitude], Isaac [Laughter], and Israel [God prevails], your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’”
14 Da angrede HERREN den Ulykke han havde truet med at gøre sit Folk.
Adonai changed his mind concerning the disaster which he planned for his people.
15 Derpaa vendte Moses tilbage og steg ned fra Bjerget med Vidnesbyrdets to Tavler i Haanden, Tavler, der var beskrevet paa begge Sider, baade paa Forsiden og Bagsiden var de beskrevet.
Moses [Drawn out] turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other they were written.
16 Og Tavlerne var Guds Værk, og Skriften var Guds Skrift, ridset ind i Tavlerne.
The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tables.
17 Da hørte Josua Støjen af det larmende Folk, og han sagde til Moses: »Der høres Krigslarm i Lejren!«
When Joshua [Yah Salvation] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses [Drawn out], “There is the noise of war in the camp.”
18 Men han svarede: »Det er ikke sejrendes eller slagnes Skrig, det er Sang, jeg hører!«
He said, “It is not the voice of those who shout for victory. It is not the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I sh'ma ·hear obey·.”
19 Og da Moses nærmede sig Lejren og saa Tyrekalven og Dansen, blussede hans Vrede op, og han kastede Tavlerne fra sig og sønderslog dem ved Bjergets Fod.
As soon as he came near to the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing. Then Moses [Drawn out]’ anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.
20 Derpaa tog han Tyrekalven, som de havde lavet, brændte den i Ilden og knuste den til Støv, strøede det paa Vandet og lod Israeliterne drikke det.
He took the calf which they had made, and burned it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel [God prevails] drink of it.
21 Og Moses sagde til Aron: »Hvad har dette Folk gjort dig, siden du har bragt saa stor en Synd over det?«
Moses [Drawn out] said to Aaron [Light-bringer], “What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great cause for sacrifice for sin ·missing the goal· on them?”
22 Aron svarede: »Vredes ikke, Herre! Du ved selv, at Folket ligger i det onde,
Aaron [Light-bringer] said, “Don’t let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
23 og de sagde til mig: Lav os en Gud, som kan drage foran os, thi vi ved ikke, hvad der er blevet af denne Moses, der førte os ud af Ægypten!
For they said to me, ‘Make us deities to lead us; for this Moses [Drawn out], the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], we don’t know what has become of him.’
24 Da sagde jeg til dem: De, der har Guldsmykker, skal rive dem af! De bragte mig da Guldet, og jeg kastede det i Ilden, og saa kom denne Tyrekalv ud deraf!«
I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them take it off:’ so they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
25 Da Moses nu saa, at Folket var tøjlesløst til Skadefryd for deres Fjender, fordi Aron havde givet det fri Tøjler,
When Moses [Drawn out] saw that the people had broken loose, (for Aaron [Light-bringer] had let them loose for a derision among their enemies),
26 stillede han sig ved Indgangen til Lejren og sagde: »Hvem der er for HERREN, han komme hid til mig!« Da samlede alle Leviterne sig om ham,
then Moses [Drawn out] stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on Adonai’s side, come to me!” All the sons of Levi [United with] gathered themselves together to him.
27 og han sagde til dem: »Saa siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Bind alle Sværd om Lænd og gaa frem og tilbage fra den ene Indgang i Lejren til den anden og slaa ned baade Broder, Ven og Frænde!«
He said to them, “Adonai says, the God of Israel [God prevails], ‘Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.’”
28 Og Leviterne gjorde, som Moses havde sagt, og paa den Dag faldt der af Folket henved 3000 Mand.
The sons of Levi [United with] did according to the word of Moses [Drawn out]: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
29 Og Moses sagde: »Fra i Dag af skal I være Præster for HERREN, thi ingen skaanede Søn eller Broder, derfor skal Velsignelse komme over eder i Dag.«
Moses [Drawn out] said, “Consecrate yourselves today to Adonai, yes, every man against his son, and against his brother; that he may give you a blessing today.”
30 Næste Dag sagde Moses til Folket: »I har begaaet en stor Synd; men nu vil jeg stige op til HERREN, maaske kan jeg skaffe Soning for eders Synd!«
On the next day, Moses [Drawn out] said to the people, “You have sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)· a great cause for sacrifice for sin ·missing the goal·. Now I will go up to Adonai. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your habitual sin ·missing the mark·.”
31 Derpaa gik Moses atter til HERREN og sagde: »Ak, dette Folk har begaaet en stor Synd, de har lavet sig en Gud af Guld.
Moses [Drawn out] teshuvah ·completely returned· to Adonai, and said, “Oh, this people have sinned a great cause for sacrifice for sin ·missing the goal·, and have made themselves deities of gold.
32 Om du dog vilde tilgive dem deres Synd! Hvis ikke, saa udslet mig af den Bog, du fører!«
Yet now, if you will, forgive their habitual sin ·missing the mark·— and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.”
33 HERREN svarede Moses: »Den, som har syndet imod mig, ham vil jeg udslette af min Bog!
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Whoever has sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)· against me, him will I blot out of my book.
34 Men gaa nu og før Folket hen, hvor jeg har befalet dig at føre det hen; se, min Engel skal drage foran dig! Men til sin Tid vil jeg straffe dem for deres Synd!«
Now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their habitual sin ·missing the mark·.”
35 Og HERREN slog Folket, fordi de havde lavet Tyrekalven, den, Aron lavede.
Adonai struck the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron [Light-bringer] made.
