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!

[Yahweh also said this to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain]: “Do not make idols or set up statues of false gods or sacred stones [to worship other gods]. And do not put on your property a stone that has been shaped [to resemble a false god] and bow down to [worship] it. [You must worship only] me, Yahweh, your God.

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

“Honor the Sabbath days and revere my Sacred Tent, because I, Yahweh, [live there].

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

“If you carefully obey all my commands [DOU],

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

I will send rain for you at the proper/right times, in order that crops will grow on your land and there will be plenty of fruit on your trees.

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.

You will continue [harvesting and] threshing [grain] until it is time to harvest grapes, and you will continue to harvest grapes until it is time to start planting [things in the following year]. And you will have all the food that you want to eat, and you will live safely in your land.

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.

“[If you obey all my laws], there will be peace in your country, and when you lie down [to sleep], nothing will cause you to be afraid. I will get rid of the dangerous animals in your country, and there will no wars [MTY] in your country.

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

You will pursue your enemies and kill them with your swords:

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 you will pursue 100 of them, and 100 of you will pursue 1,000 of them and kill them with your swords.

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

“[If you obey all my laws], I will bless you and cause you to have many children [DOU]. And I will do what I said that I would do in the agreement that I made with you.

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

When you are still eating food from the harvest from the previous year, it will be necessary for you to throw away some of it to make space for the new harvest.

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

I will live among you in my Sacred Tent, and I will never reject you.

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

I will walk among you and continue to be your God, and you will continue to 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 Yahweh your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you would no longer be slaves of the people of Egypt. [When you were there, you were treated as though you were animals that worked for the people of Egypt, but] [MET] I broke the bars of the (yokes/frames that were put around your necks) and enabled you to walk with your heads up.”

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

“But if you will not heed me and obey all these commands,

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,

and if you reject [DOU] my decrees and laws, and do not do [DOU] what I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you,

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.

these are the things that I will do to you: I will suddenly cause there to be disasters that will ruin you. You will have diseases that cannot be cured, and fevers that will cause you to become blind and will slowly kill you. It will be useless for you to plant seeds, because your enemies will eat the crops that grow.

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 reject/abandon you [IDM], with the result that you will be defeated by your enemies. Then those who hate you will rule you, and [you will be so terrified that] you will run away even when no one is pursuing you.

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

“If you still will not heed me after all those things happen to you, I will continue to punish you again and again for the sins that you have committed.

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

I will cause you to no longer be stubborn and proud; I will cause [no rain to fall; it will be as though] [MET] the sky is made of iron; and the ground will be [as hard as] brass [MET].

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.

You will uselessly work very hard [to plant seeds], because crops will not grow in the hard soil in your fields, and fruit will not grow on your trees.

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 continue to oppose me and refuse to heed me, I will cause you to experience disasters again and again, like you deserve to experience because of 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.

I will send wild animals to attack you, and they will kill your little children and destroy your cattle. There will be very few of you who will remain alive, with the result that there will be very few [HYP] people walking on the roads in your country.

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

“When you experience those things that I do to punish you, if you still do not pay attention to me, and if you continue to oppose me,

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

I myself will oppose you, and I will punish you for your sins again and again.

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.

I will send [foreign] [MTY] to punish you for not doing the things that I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you. If you [try to escape from your enemies by] shutting yourselves in your cities [that have walls around them], I will cause you to experience plagues, and I will allow your enemies to capture [IDM] you.

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.

When I cut off your food supply, there will be very little flour with which to make bread. As a result, ten women will be able to bake all their bread in [only] one oven. [When the bread is baked], each woman will divide it [among the members of her family, but there will be very little for each one], and when they have eaten all of it, they will still be hungry.

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

“After all those things happen, if you still do not heed me, if you still oppose me,

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

I will be very angry with you, and I will oppose you, and I myself will punish you for your sins again and again.

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

[You will be extremely hungry, with the result that] you will [kill] your sons and daughters and eat their flesh.

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 cause the shrines [where you worship idols] on hilltops to be destroyed. I will smash the altars where you burn incense [to worship your gods], and I will cause your corpses to be piled on the lifeless statues of your gods. And I will detest you.

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

I will cause your cities to become heaps of ruins, and I will cause the buildings that are dedicated to the worship of your gods to be smashed. And I will not be pleased at all with the aroma of your offerings [that are burned on the altar].

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

I will completely ruin your country, with the result that even your enemies who capture it will be shocked/appalled [when they see it].

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.

I will enable [your enemies to kill you with] their swords, and I will cause the rest of you to be scattered among other nations. Your country will be ruined and your cities will become ruins.

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;

After that happens, as long as you are living in your enemies’ countries, your land will be allowed to rest, like you should have allowed it to rest every seven years.

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

All the time that your land is desolate, it will be able to rest, like you did not enable it to rest during all the years that you lived there.

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;

“As for you people who will remain alive in the countries to which your enemies [will have taken you], I will cause you to become so afraid that when you hear the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, you will run away. You will run like [SIM] you are running from [a man carrying] a sword, and you will fall down, even though no one is pursuing you.

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.

You will stumble over each other. So you will not be able to stand and fight your enemies.

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

Many of you will die in the countries that belong to your enemies [DOU].

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 those of you who remain alive will slowly die and rot in the countries of your enemies because of your sins and because of the sins of your ancestors.

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,

“But your descendants must confess their sins and the sins that their ancestors committed. Their ancestors acted unfaithfully toward me and were hostile to me, with the result that I forced them to go to the countries that belonged to their enemies. But when your descendants humble themselves [SYN] and stop being very stubborn [IDM] and accept being punished for their sins,

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.

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.

I will remember the agreement that I made with [your ancestors] Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and [what I promised them about] this 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.

But [before that happens], you will be forced to leave your land, with the result that the land will be able to rest while it is desolate and while the people are being punished for rejecting my laws and hating my decrees [DOU].

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!

But when that happens, I will still not reject them or hate them and destroy them completely. I will not cancel the agreement that I made with them; for I am still Yahweh 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!

I will (remember/never forget) the agreement that I made with your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, in order that the people of all nations will know that I, Yahweh, [will continue to] be your God.”

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

Those are the decrees, the laws, and the regulations [DOU] that Yahweh established on Sinai Mountain between himself and the Israeli people by [giving them to] Moses/me [to tell to them].
