3 Mosebog 26

1 I maa ikke gøre eder Afguder; udskaarne Billeder og Stenstøtter maa I ikke rejse eder, ej heller maa I opstille nogen Sten med Billedværk i eders Land for at tilbede den; thi jeg er HERREN eders Gud!

I am the Lord your God: you shall not make to yourselves any idol or graven thing, neither shall you erect pillars, nor set up a remarkable stone in your land, to adore it: for I am the Lord your God.

2 Mine Sabbater skal I holde, og min Helligdom skal I frygte. Jeg er HERREN!

Keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.

3 Hvis I følger mine Anordninger og holder mine Bud og handler efter dem,

If you walk in my precepts, and keep my commandments, and do them, I will give you rein in due seasons.

4 vil jeg give eder den Regn, I behøver, til sin Tid, Landet skal give sin Afgrøde, og Markens Træer skal give deres Frugt.

And the ground shall bring forth its increase, and the trees shall be filled with fruit.

5 Tærskning skal hos eder vare til Vinhøst, og Vinhøst skal vare til Saatid. I skal spise eder mætte i eders Brød og bo trygt i eders Land.

The threshing of your harvest shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land without fear.

6 Jeg vil give Fred i Landet, saa I kan lægge eder til Hvile, uden at nogen skræmmer eder op; jeg vil udrydde de vilde Dyr af Landet, og intet Sværd skal hærge eders Land.

I will give peace in your coasts: you shall sleep, and there shall be none to make you afraid. I will take away evil beasts: and the sword shall not pass through your quarters.

7 I skal forfølge eders Fjender, og de skal falde for Sværdet foran eder.

You shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you.

8 Fem af eder skal forfølge hundrede, og hundrede af eder skal forfølge ti Tusinde, og eders, Fjender skal falde for Sværdet foran eder.

Five of yours shall pursue a hundred others, and a hundred of you ten thousand: your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

9 Jeg vil vende mig til eder, jeg vil gøre eder frugtbare og mangfoldige, og jeg vil stadfæste min Pagt med eder.

I will look on you, and make you increase: you shell be multiplied, and I will establish my covenant with you.

10 I skal spise gammelt Korn, til I for det nye Korns Skyld maa tømme Laderne for det gamle.

You shall eat the oldest of the old store, and, new coming on, you shall cast away the old.

11 Jeg vil opslaa min Bolig midt iblandt eder, og min Sjæl skal ikke væmmes ved eder.

I will set my tabernacle in the midst of you, and my soul shall not cast you off.

12 Jeg vil vandre iblandt eder og være eders Gud, og I skal være mit Folk.

I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people.

13 Jeg er HERREN eders Gud, som førte eder ud af Ægypten, for at I ikke mere skulde være deres Trælle; jeg sønderbrød eders Aagstænger og lod eder vandre med rank Nakke.

I am the Lord your God: who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, that you should not serve them, and who have broken the chains of your necks, that you might go upright.

14 Men hvis I ikke adlyder mig og handler efter alle disse Bud,

But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments,

15 hvis I lader haant om mine Anordninger og væmmes ved mine Lovbud, saa I ikke handler efter alle mine Bud, men bryder min Pagt,

If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant:

16 saa vil ogsaa jeg gøre lige for lige imod eder og hjemsøge eder med skrækkelige Ulykker: Svindsot og Feberglød, saa Øjnene sløves og Sjælen vansmægter. Til ingen Nytte saar I eders Sæd, thi eders Fjender skal fortære den.

I also will do these things to you: I will quickly visit you with poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your enemies.

17 Jeg vender mit Aasyn imod eder, saa I bliver slaaet paa Flugt for eders Fjender; eders Avindsmænd skal underkue eder, og I skal flygte, selv om ingen forfølger eder.

I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before your enemies, and shall be made subject to them that hate you, you shall flee when no man pursueth you.

18 Og hvis I alligevel ikke adlyder mig, saa vil jeg tugte eder endnu mere, ja syvfold, for eders Synder.

But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you seven times more for your sins,

19 Jeg vil bryde eders hovmodige Trods, jeg vil gøre eders Himmel som Jern og eders Jord som Kobber.

And I will break the pride of your stubbornness, and I will make to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass:

20 Til ingen Nytte skal I slide eders Kræfter op, thi eders Jord skal ikke give sin Afgrøde, og Landets Træer skal ikke give deres Frugt.

Your labour shall be spent in vain, the ground shall not bring forth her increase, nor the trees yield their fruit.

21 Og hvis I alligevel handler genstridigt imod mig og ikke adlyder mig, saa vil jeg slaa eder endnu mere, ja syvfold, for eders Synder.

If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins:

22 Jeg vil sende Markens vilde Dyr imod eder, for at de skal røve eders Børn fra eder, udrydde eders Kvæg og mindske eders Tal, saa eders Veje bliver øde.

And I will send in upon you the beasts of the held, to destroy you and your cattle, and make you few in number, and that your highways may be desolate.

23 Og hvis I alligevel ikke tager mod min Tugt, men handler genstridigt imod mig,

And if even so you will not amend, but will walk contrary to me:

24 saa vil ogsaa jeg handle genstridigt imod eder og slaa eder syvfold for eders Synder.

I also will walk contrary to you, and will strike you seven times for your sins.

25 Jeg vil bringe et Hævnens Sværd over eder til Hævn for den brudte Pagt; og søger I Tilflugt i eders Byer, vil jeg sende Pest iblandt eder, saa I maa overgive eder i Fjendens Haand.

And I will bring in upon you the sword that shall avenge my covenant. And when you shall flee into the cities, I will send the pestilence in the midst of you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies,

26 Naar jeg bryder Brødets Støttestav for eder, skal ti Kvinder bage eders Brød i een Bagerovn og give eder Brødet tilbage efter Vægt, saa I ikke han spise eder mætte.

After I shall have broken the staff of your bread: so that ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and give it out by weight: and you shall eat, and shall not be filled.

27 Og hvis I alligevel ikke adlyder mig, men handler genstridigt mod mig,

But if you will not for all this hearken to me, but will walk against me:

28 saa vil ogsaa jeg i Vrede handle genstridigt mod eder og tugte eder syvfold for eders Synder.

I will also go against you with opposite fury, and I will chastise you with seven plagues for your sins,

29 I skal fortære eders Sønners Kød, og eders Døtres Kød skal I fortære.

So that you shall eat the flesh of your sons and of your daughters.

30 Jeg vil lægge eders Offerhøje øde og tilintetgøre eders Solsøjler; jeg vil dynge eders Lig oven paa Ligene af eders Afgudsbilleder, og min Sjæl skal væmmes ved eder.

I will destroy your high places, and break your idols. You shall fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

31 Jeg vil lægge eders Byer i Ruiner og ødelægge eders Helligdomme og ikke indaande eders liflige Offerduft.

Insomuch that I will bring your cities to be a wilderness, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and will receive no more your sweet odours.

32 Jeg vil lægge eders Land øde, saa eders Fjender, der bor deri, skal blive maalløse derover;

And I will destroy your land, and your enemies shall be astonished at it, when they shall be the inhabitants thereof.

33 og eder selv vil jeg sprede blandt Folkeslagene, og jeg vil gaa bag efter eder med draget Sværd. Eders Land skal blive en Ørken, og eders Byer skal lægges i Ruiner.

And I will scatter you among the Gentiles, and I will draw out the sword after you, and your land shall be desert, and your cities destroyed.

34 Da skal Landet, medens det ligger øde, og I er i eders Fjenders Land, faa sine Sabbater godtgjort, da skal Landet hvile og faa sine Sabbater godtgjort;

Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths all the days of her desolation: when you shall be

35 medens det ligger øde, skal det faa den Hvile, det ikke fik paa eders Sabbater, dengang I boede deri.

In the enemy’s land, she shall keep a sabbath, and rest in the sabbaths of her desolation, because she did not rest in your sabbaths when you dwelt therein.

36 Men dem, der bliver tilbage af eder, over deres Hjerter bringer jeg Modløshed i deres Fjenders Lande, saa at Lyden af et raslende Blad kan drive dem paa Flugt, saa de flygter, som man flygter for Sværdet, og falder, skønt ingen forfølger dem;

And as to them that shall remain of you I will send fear in their hearts in the countries of their enemies, the sound of a flying leaf shall terrify them, and they shall flee as it were from the sword: they shall fall, when no man pursueth them,

37 de skal falde over hverandre, som om Sværdet var efter dem, skønt ingen forfølger dem; og I skal ikke holde Stand over for eders Fjender.

And they shall every one fall upon their brethren as fleeing from wars, none of you shall dare to resist your enemies.

38 I skal gaa til Grunde blandt Folkeslagene, eders Fjenders Land skal fortære eder.

You shall perish among the Gentiles, and an enemy’s land shall consume you.

39 De, der bliver tilbage af eder, skal sygne hen for deres Misgernings Skyld i eders Fjenders Lande, ogsaa for deres Fædres Misgerninger skal de sygne hen ligesom de.

And if of them also some remain, they shall pine away in their iniquities, in the land of their enemies, and they shall be afflicted for the sins of their fathers, and their own:

40 Da skal de bekende deres Misgerning og deres Fædres Misgerning, den Troløshed, de begik imod mig. Ogsaa skal de bekende, at fordi de handlede genstridigt mod mig,

Until they confess their iniquities and the iniquities of their ancestors, whereby they have transgressed me, and walked contrary unto me.

41 maatte ogsaa jeg handle genstridigt mod dem og føre dem bort til deres Fjenders Land; ja, da skal deres uomskaarne Hjerter ydmyges, og de skal undgælde for deres Skyld.

Therefore I also will walk them, and bring them into their enemies’ land until their uncircumcised mind be ashamed: then shall they pray for their sins.

42 Da vil jeg komme min Pagt med Jakob i Hu, ogsaa min Pagt med Isak, ogsaa min Pagt med Abraham vil jeg komme i Hu, og Landet vil jeg komme i Hu.

And I will remember my covenant, that I made with Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham. I will remember also the land:

43 Men først maa Landet forlades af dem og have sine Sabbater godtgjort, medens det ligger øde og forladt af dem, og de skal undgælde for deres Skyld, fordi, ja, fordi de lod haant om mine Lovbud og væmmedes ved mine Anordninger.

Which when she shall be left by them, shall enjoy her sabbaths, being desolate for them. But they shall pray for their sins, because they rejected my judgments, and despised my laws.

44 Men selv da, naar de er i deres Fjenders Land, vil jeg ikke lade haant om dem og ikke væmmes ved dem til deres fuldkomne Undergang, saa jeg skulde bryde min Pagt med dem; thi jeg er HERREN deres Gud!

And yet for all that when they were in the land of their enemies, I did not cast them off altogether, neither did I so despise them that they should be quite consumed, and I should make void my covenant with them. For I am the Lord their God.

45 Jeg vil til deres Bedste ihukomme Pagten med Fædrene, som jeg førte ud af Ægypten for Folkeslagenes Øjne for at være deres Gud. Jeg er HERREN!

And I will remember my former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, to be their God. I am the Lord.

46 Det er de Anordninger, Lovbud og Love, HERREN fastsatte mellem sig og Israeliterne paa Sinaj Bjerg ved Moses.

These are the judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the Lord gave between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
