2 Mosebog 33
1 HERREN sagde til Moses: »Drag nu bort herfra med Folket, som du førte ud af Ægypten, til det Land, jeg tilsvor Abraham, Isak og Jakob med de Ord: Dit Afkom vil jeg give det! —
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Leave this place and go with the people whom you led out of Egypt. Go to the land that I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that I would give to their descendants.
2 Jeg sender en Engel foran dig, og han skal drive Kana'anæerne, Amoriterne, Hetiterne, Perizziterne, Hivviterne og Jebusiterne bort —
I will send my angel ahead of you all, and I will expel [from that land] the Canaan, Amor, Heth, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
3 til et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning. Men selv vil jeg ikke drage med i din Midte, thi du er et halsstarrigt Folk; drog jeg med, kunde jeg tilintetgøre dig undervejs!«
You will go to a land that will be very good for raising livestock and growing crops [IDM]. But I will not go with you myself, because [if I did that], I might get rid of you while you are traveling, because you are very stubborn [IDM] people.”
4 Da Folket hørte denne onde Tidende, sørgede de, og ingen tog sine Smykker paa.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell the Israeli people, ‘You are very stubborn [IDM]. If I would go with you for even a moment, I would completely (get rid of you/wipe you out). Now take off your jewelry [to show that you are sorry for having sinned]. Then I will decide how I will punish you (OR, if I should punish you).’” So when Moses/I told to the people what God said, they started to mourn, and they all took off their jewelry.
5 Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Sig til Israeliterne; I er et halsstarrigt Folk! Vandrede jeg kun et eneste Øjeblik i din Midte, maatte jeg tilintetgøre dig. Tag du dine Smykker af, saa skal jeg tænke over, hvad jeg vil gøre for dig!«
6 Da aflagde Israeliterne deres Smykker fra Horebs Bjerg af.
After the Israeli people left Sinai Mountain, they did not wear jewelry any more.
7 Moses plejede at tage Teltet og slaa det op udenfor Lejren i nogen Afstand derfra; han gav det Navnet »Aabenbaringsteltet«. Enhver som vilde raadspørge HERREN, gik ud til Aabenbaringsteltet uden for Lejren.
[When the Israeli people traveled], whenever they stopped and set up their tents, Moses/I had them set up a tent outside the camp, far from the camp. I called it ‘the Sacred Tent where God and I talk together’. Everyone who wanted Yahweh to decide something for them would go out of the camp to the Sacred Tent.
8 Men hver Gang Moses gik ud til Teltet, rejste alt Folket sig op og stillede sig alle ved Indgangen til deres Telte og saa efter Moses, indtil han kom ind i Teltet.
Whenever Moses/I went out to the Sacred Tent, all the people would stand at the entrances of their tents and watch him/me until he/I had entered the Sacred Tent.
9 Og naar Moses kom ind Teltet, sænkede Skystøtten sig og stillede sig ved Indgangen til Teltet; da talede HERREN med Moses.
When Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent, the tall cloud that looked like a fire would come down and stay at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and then Yahweh would talk with Moses/me.
10 Men naar alt Folket saa Skystøtten staa ved Indgangen til Teltet, rejste de sig alle op og tilbad ved Indgangen til deres Telte.
When the people saw the tall cloud at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, they would all prostrate themselves on the ground and worship Yahweh.
11 Saa talede HERREN med Moses Ansigt til Ansigt, som naar den ene Mand taler med den anden, og derpaa vendte Moses tilbage til Lejren; men hans Medhjælper Josua, Nuns Søn, en ung Mand, veg ikke fra Teltet.
Yahweh would speak to Moses/me directly, like someone speaks to his friend. Then Moses/I would return to the camp. But his/my young helper, Joshua, the son of Nun, stayed in the Sacred Tent.
12 Moses sagde til HERREN: »Se, du siger til mig: Før dette Folk frem! Men du har ikke ladet mig vide, hvem du vil sende med mig; og dog har du sagt: Jeg kender dig ved Navn, og du har fundet Naade for mine Øjne!
Moses/I said to Yahweh, “It is true that you have told me, ‘Lead the people to the land [that I will show you],’ and you have said that you know me well and that you are pleased with me, but you have not told me whom you will send with me!
13 Hvis jeg nu virkelig har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, saa lær mig dine Veje at kende, at jeg kan kende dig og finde Naade for dine Øjne; tænk dog paa, at dette Folk er dit Folk!«
So now, if you are truly pleased with me, I ask you, tell me the things that you intend/plan to do, in order that I will know you [better] and continue to please you. Also, do not forget that the [Israeli] people are the people whom you chose to belong to you.”
14 Han svarede: »Skal mit Aasyn da vandre med, og skal jeg saaledes føre dig til Maalet?«
Yahweh replied, “I will go with you, and I will give you inner peace.”
15 Da sagde Moses til ham: »Hvis dit Aasyn ikke vandrer med, saa lad os ikke drage herfra!
Moses/I replied, “If you do not go with me, do not force us to leave this place.
16 Hvorpaa skal det dog kendes, at jeg har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, jeg og dit Folk? Mon ikke paa, at du vandrer med os, og der saaledes vises os, mig og dit Folk, en Udmærkelse fremfor alle andre Folkeslag paa Jorden?«
The only way that [other] people will know that you are pleased with me and with your people is if you go with us [RHQ]! (If you go with us, [that will show that] we are different from all the other people on the earth./If you do not go with us, what will show that we are different from all the other people on the earth?)” [RHQ]
17 HERREN svarede Moses: »Ogsaa hvad du der siger, vil jeg gøre, thi du har fundet Naade for mine Øjne, og jeg kalder dig ved Navn.«
Yahweh replied to Moses/me, “What you have asked is exactly what I will do, because I know you well and I am pleased with you.”
18 Da sagde Moses: »Lad mig dog skue din Herlighed!«
Then Moses/I said, “Please let me see your glorious presence!”
19 Han svarede: »Jeg vil lade al min Rigdom drage forbi dig og udraabe HERRENS Navn foran dig, thi jeg viser Naade, mod hvem jeg vil, og Barmhjertighed, mod hvem jeg vil!«
Yahweh replied, “I will let you see how great and glorious I am, and I will tell you clearly that my name is Yahweh. I will act very kindly and be merciful to all those whom I choose.
20 Og han sagde: »Du kan ikke skue mit Aasyn, thi intet Menneske kan se mig og leve.«
But you are not allowed to see my face, because anyone who sees my face will (die/not continue to stay alive).
21 Og HERREN sagde: »Se, her er et Sted i min Nærhed, stil dig paa Klippen der!
[But look]! Here is a place close to me where you can stand on a [large] rock.
22 Naar da min Herlighed drager forbi, vil jeg lade dig staa i Klippehulen, og jeg vil dække dig med min Haand, indtil jeg er kommet forbi.
When my glorious presence comes past you, I will put you in a large crevice/opening in the rock, and I will cover your face with my hand until I have passed by.
23 Saa tager jeg min Haand bort, og da kan du se mig bagfra; men mit Aasyn kan ingen skue!«
Then I will take my hand away, and you will see my back, but you will not see my face.”
