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!

Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up [any] image of stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I [am] the LORD your God.

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

Ye shall 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 ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

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

Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their 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.

And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

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.

And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make [you] afraid: and I will rid the land of evil beasts, neither shall the sword go through your land.

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

And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

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

And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and 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.

For I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.

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

And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.

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

And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.

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

And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye 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 brought you out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bond-men, and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

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

But if ye will not hearken to me, and will not do all these 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,

And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul shall abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, [but] that ye break 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 this to you, I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

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.

And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you, and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

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

And if ye will not yet for all this hearken to me, then I will punish 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 power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your 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.

And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

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.

And if ye shall walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to 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 also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number, and your [high] -ways shall be desolate.

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

And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary to me;

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

Then will I also walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet 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 a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of [my] covenant: and when ye are gathered within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you: and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

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.

[And] when I have broke the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver [you] your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

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

And if ye will not for all this hearken to me, but walk contrary to me;

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

Then I will walk contrary to you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

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

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

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.

And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses 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.

And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.

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

And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at 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.

And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.

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 its sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye [are] in your enemies' land; [even] then shall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths.

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

As long as it lieth desolate, it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

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 upon them that are left [alive] of you, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall, when none pursueth.

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 fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

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

And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

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 they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

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,

If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary to 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.

And [that] I also have walked contrary to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts shall be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:

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.

Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember 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.

The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

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 shall be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break 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!

But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might 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 statutes, and judgments, and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
