2 Mosebog 34

1 Derpaa sagde HERREN til Moses: »Tilhug dig to Stentavler ligesom de forrige, saa vil jeg paa Tavlerne skrive de samme Ord, som stod paa de forrige Tavler, du slog i Stykker.

And after this he said: Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the former, and I will write upon them the words which were in the tables, which thou brokest.

2 Gør dig saa rede til i Morgen, stig om Morgenen op paa Sinaj Bjerg og stil dig hen og vent paa mig der paa Bjergets Top.

Be ready in the morning, that thou mayst forthwith go up into mount Sinai, and thou shalt stand with me upon the top of the mount.

3 Ingen maa følge med dig derop, og ingen maa vise sig noget Sted paa Bjerget, end ikke Smaakvæg eller Hornkvæg maa græsse i Nærheden af dette Bjerg.«

Let no man go up with thee: and let not any man be seen throughout all the mount: neither let the oxen nor the sheep feed over against it.

4 Da tilhuggede han to Stentavler ligesom de forrige, og tidligt næste Morgen steg Moses op paa Sinaj Bjerg, som Gud havde paalagt ham, og tog de to Stentavler med sig.

Then he cut out two tables of stone, such as had been before: and rising very early he went up into the mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, carrying with him the tables.

5 Da steg HERREN ned i Skyen; og Moses stillede sig hos ham der og paakaldte HERRENS Navn.

And when the Lord was come down in a cloud, Moses stood with him, calling upon the name of the Lord.

6 Og HERREN gik forbi ham og raabte: »HERREN, HERREN, Gud, som er barmhjertig og naadig, langmodig og rig paa Miskundhed og Trofasthed,

And when he passed before him, he said: O the Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, patient and of much compassion, and true,

7 som bevarer Miskundhed mod Tusinder, som tilgiver Brøde, Overtrædelse og Synd, men ikke lader den skyldige ustraffet, som straffer Fædres Brøde paa Børn og Børnebørn, paa dem i tredje og fjerde Led!«

Who keepest mercy unto thousands: who takest away iniquity, and wickedness, and sin, and no man of himself is innocent before thee. Who renderest the iniquity of the fathers to the children, and to the grandchildren, unto the third and fourth generation.

8 Da bøjede Moses sig hastelig til Jorden, tilbad

And Moses making haste, bowed down prostrate unto the earth, and adoring,

9 og sagde: »Har jeg fundet Naade for dine Øjne, Herre, saa drage min Herre med i vor Midte; thi det er et halsstarrigt Folk. Men tilgiv vor Brøde og vor Synd og lad os være din Ejendom!«

Said: If I have found grace in thy sight: O Lord, I beseech thee, that thou wilt go with us, (for it is a stiffnecked people, ) and take away our iniquities and sin, and possess us.

10 Han sagde: »Se, jeg vil slutte en Pagt; i hele dit Folks Paasyn vil jeg gøre Undere, som aldrig før er sket nogensteds paa Jorden og blandt noget Folkeslag, og hele det Folk, i hvis Midte du lever, skal se HERRENS Værk; thi det, jeg vil udføre ved dig, er forfærdeligt.

The Lord answered: I will make a covenant in the sight of all. I will do signs such as were never seen upon the earth, nor in any nation: that this people, in the midst of whom thou art, may see the terrible work of the Lord which I will do.

11 Hold dig det efterrettelig, som jeg i Dag byder dig! Se, jeg vil drive Amoriterne, Kana'anæerne, Hetiterne, Perizziterne, Hivviterne og Jebusiterne bort foran dig!

Observe all things which this day I command thee: I myself will drive out before thy face the Amorrhite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite.

12 Vogt dig vel for at slutte nogen Pagt med Indbyggerne i det Land, du kommer til, for at de ikke skal blive en Snare for dig, naar de lever i din Midte.

Beware thou never join in friendship with the inhabitants of that land, which may be thy ruin:

13 Men I skal nedbryde deres Altre, sønderslaa deres Stenstøtter og omhugge deres Asjerastøtter!

But destroy their altars, break their statues, and cut down their groves:

14 Thi du maa ikke tilbede nogen anden Gud, thi «Nidkær» er HERRENS Navn, nidkær Gud er han.

Adore not any strange god. The Lord his name is Jealous, he is a jealous God.

15 Du maa ikke slutte Pagt med Landets Indbyggere, og naar de boler med deres Guder og ofrer til dem og man indbyder dig til at være med, maa du ikke spise af deres Ofre;

Make no covenant with the men of those countries lest, when they have committed fornication with their gods, and have adored their idols, some one call thee to eat of the things sacrificed.

16 og du maa ikke af deres Døtre tage Hustruer til dine Sønner, saa deres Døtre, naar de boler med deres Guder, faar dine Sønner til ogsaa at bole med dem.

Neither shalt thou take of their daughters a wife for thy son, lest after they themselves have committed fornication, they make thy sons also to commit fornication with their gods.

17 Du maa ikke gøre dig noget støbt Gudebillede.

Thou shalt not make to thyself any molten gods.

18 Du skal lejre de usyrede Brøds Højtid; i syv Dage skal du spise usyret Brød, som jeg har paalagt dig, laa den fastsatte Tid i Abib Maaned, thi i Abib Maaned drog du ud af Ægypten.

Thou shalt keep the feast of the unleavened bread. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee in the time of the month of the new corn: for in the month of the springtime thou camest out from Egypt.

19 Alt førstefødt tilhører mig; af dine Hjorde skal du ofre mig det førstefødte af Handyrene, baade af Okset og smaat Kvæg;

All of the male kind, that openeth the womb, shall be mine. Of all beasts, both of oxen and of sheep, it shall be mine.

20 men de førstefødte Æsler skal du udløse med et Stykke smaat Kvæg, og hvis du ikke udløser det, skal du sønderbryde Halsen derpaa; alle dine førstefødte Sønner skal du udløse. Du maa ikke stedes for mit Aasyn med tomme Hænder.

The firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a sheep: but if thou wilt not give a price for it, it shall be slain. The firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem: neither shalt thou appear before me empty.

21 I seks Dage maa du arbejde, men paa den syvende skal du hvile; i Pløje og Høsttiden skal du holde Hviledag.

Six days shalt thou work, the seventh day thou shalt cease to plough, and to reap.

22 Du skal fejre Ugehøjtid med Førstegrøden af Hvedehøsten og Frugthøsthøjtid ved Jævndøgnstide.

Thou shalt keep the feast of weeks with the firstfruits of the corn of thy wheat harvest, and the feast when the time of the year returneth that all things are laid in.

23 Tre Gange om Aaret skal alle at Mandkøn hos dig stedes for den Herre HERREN Israels Guds Aasyn.

Three times in a year all thy males shall appear in the sight of the Almighty Lord the God of Israel.

24 Thi jeg vil drive Folkeslag bort foran dig og gøre dine Landemærker vide, og ingen skal attraa dit Land, medens du drager hen for at stedes for HERREN din Guds Aasyn tre Gange om Aaret.

For when I shall have taken away the nations from thy face, and shall have enlarged thy borders, no man shall lie in wait against thy land when thou shalt go up, and appear in the sight of the Lord thy God thrice in a year.

25 Du maa ikke ofre Blodet af mit Offer sammen med syret Brød. Paaskehøjtidens Offer maa ikke gemmes til næste Morgen.

Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice upon leaven: neither shall there remain in the morning any thing of the victim of the solemnity of the Lord.

26 Det bedste af din Jords Førstegrøde skal du bringe til HERREN din Guds Hus. Du maa ikke koge et Hid i dets Moders Mælk!«

The first of the fruits of thy ground thou shalt offer in the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.

27 Og HERREN sagde til Moses: »Skriv disse Ord op, thi paa Grundlag af disse Ord slutter jeg Pagt med dig og Israel.«

And the Lord said to Moses: Write these words by which I have made a covenant both with thee and with Israel.

28 Og han blev der hos HERREN fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter uden at spise eller drikke; og han skrev Pagtsordene, de ti Ord, paa Tavlerne.

And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights: he neither ate bread nor drank water, and he wrote upon the tables the ten words of the covenant.

29 Da Moses steg ned fra Sinaj Bjerg med Vidnesbyrdets to Tavler i Haanden, vidste han ikke, at hans Ansigts Hud var kommet til at straale, ved at han talede med ham.

And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord.

30 Men Aron og alle Israeliterne saa Moses, og se, hans Ansigts Hud straalede, og de turde ikke komme ham nær.

And Aaron and the children of Israel seeing the face of Moses horned, were afraid to come near.

31 Men Moses kaldte paa dem, og da vendte Aron og alle Menighedens Øverster tilbage til ham, og Moses talte til dem.

And being called by him, they returned, both Aaron and the rulers of the congregation. And after that he spoke to them.

32 Derpaa kom alle Israeliterne hen til ham, og han paalagde dem alt, hvad HERREN havde talet til ham paa Sinaj Bjerg.

And all the children of Israel came to him: and he gave them in commandment all that he had heard of the Lord in mount Sinai.

33 Men da Moses var færdig med at tale til dem, lagde han et Dække over sit Ansigt.

And having done speaking, he put a veil upon his face.

34 Hver Gang han derefter traadte frem for HERRENS Aasyn for at tale med ham, tog han Sløret af, indtil han kom ud igen; og naar han kom ud, meddelte han Israeliterne, hvad der var blevet ham paabudt.

But when he went in to the Lord, and spoke with him, he took it away until he came forth, and then he spoke to the children of Israel all things that had been commanded him.

35 Da saa Israeliterne, at Moses's Ansigts Hud straalede; og Moses lagde da Dækket over sit Ansigt, indtil han atter gik ind for at tale med ham.

And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out was horned, but he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them.
