5 Mosebog 32
1 Lyt til, I Himle, lad mig tale, Jorden høre mine Ord!
Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 Lad dryppe som Regn min Lære, lad flyde som Dug mit Ord, som Regnskyl på unge Spirer, som Regnens Dråber på Græs.
My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as heavy rains upon the grass, and as showers upon herbs.
3 Thi HERRENs Navn vil jeg forkynde, Ære skal I give vor Gud!
When I call on the name of the Lord, ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 Han er Klippen, fuldkomment hans Værk, thi alle hans Veje er Retfærd! En trofast Gud, uden Svig, retfærdig og sanddru er Han.
He is the Rock, his work is perfect; for all his ways are just: the God of truth and without iniquity, just and upright is he.
5 Skændselsmennesker sveg ham, en forvent og vanartet Slægt.
The corruption is not his, it is the defect of his children, of the perverse and crooked generation.
6 Er det sådan, I lønner HERREN? Du tåbelige, uvise Folk! Er han ej din Fader og Skaber, den, som gjorde og danned dig?
Will ye thus requite the Lord, O people, worthless and unwise? is he not thy father who hath bought thee? is it not he who hath made thee, and established thee?
7 Kom Fortidens Dage i Hu, agt på henfarne Slægters År; spørg din Fader, han skal berette, dine gamle, de skal fortælle dig!
Remember the days of old, consider the years of former generations; ask thy father, and he will tell thee; thy elders, and they will say it unto thee:
8 Da den Højeste gav Folkene Eje, satte Skel mellem Menneskenes Børn, bestemte han Folkenes Grænser efter Tallet på Guds Sønner,
When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of man: he set the bounds of the tribes according to the number of the sons of Israel.
9 men HERRENs Del blev Jakob, Israel hans tilmålte Lod.
For the portion of the Lord is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 Han fandt det i Ørkenlandet, i Ødemarken, blandt Ørkenens Hyl; han værnede det med vågent Øje og vogtede det som sin Øjesten.
He found him in a desert land, and in the waste of the howling of the wilderness; he encircled him, he watched him, he guarded him as the apple of his eye.
11 Som Ørnen, der purrer sin Yngel ud og svæver over sine Unger, løftede han det på sit Vingefang og bar det på sine Vinger.
As an eagle stirreth up his nest, fluttereth over his young, spreadeth abroad his wings, seizeth them, beareth them aloft on his pinions:
12 HERREN var dets eneste Fører, ingen fremmed Gud var hos ham.
So did the Lord alone lead him, and there was not with him a stranger god.
13 Han lod det færdes over Landets Høje, nærede det med Markens Frugter, lod det suge Honning af Klippen og Olie af Bjergets Flint,
He caused him to stride on the high places of the earth, and he ate the products of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty stone;
14 Surmælk fra Køer, Mælk fra Småkvæg, dertil Fedt af Lam og Vædre, af Tyre fra Basan og Bukke og Hvedens Fedme tillige, og Drueblod drak du, Vin.
Cream of cows, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of wheat; and of the blood of the grape thou drunkest unmixed wine.
15 Men da Jesjurun blev fed, slog han bagud, du blev fed, du blev tyk, du blev mæsket; da forskød han Gud, sin Skaber, lod hånt om sin Frelses Klippe.
Thus did Yeshurun grow fat, and he kicked; [thou art grown fat, thick, fleshy; ] and then he forsook the God who made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 De æggede ham med fremmede, med Vederstyggeligheder tirrede de ham;
They incensed him with strange gods, with abominations they provoked him to anger.
17 de ofred til Dæmoner, der ej er Guder, til Guder, de ej før kendte til; til nye, der nys var kommet frem, og som ej eders Fædre frygtede.
They sacrificed unto evil spirits, things that are not god, gods that they know not, new ones lately come up, which your fathers dreaded not.
18 Klippen, der avled dig, slog du af Tanke og glemte den Gud, der fødte dig!
Of the Rock that begat thee thou wast unmindful, and forgottest the God that had brought thee forth.
19 Da HERREN så det, forstødte han dem af Græmmelse over sine Børn
And the Lord saw this, and he was angry; because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters.
20 og sagde: "Jeg vil skjule mit Åsyn for dem og se, hvad Ende det tager med dem; thi de er en bundfalsk Slægt, Børn, som er uden Troskab;
And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end will be; for a perverse generation are they, children in whom there is no faith.
21 de ægged mig med det der ikke er Gud, tirrede mig ved deres tomme Gøgl: Jeg vil ægge dem med det, der ikke er et Folk, tirre dem ved et Folk af Dårer.
They have moved me to wrath with things that are not god; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities; and I too will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a worthless nation.
22 Thi der flammer en Ild i min Vrede, som brænder til Dødsrigets Dyb; den fortærer Jorden med dens Grøde og antænder Bjergenes Grunde. (Sheol h7585)
For a fire is kindled in my anger, and it burneth unto the lowest deep; and it consumeth the earth with her products, and it setteth on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Jeg hober Ulykker over dem og opbruger mine Pile imod dem.
I will heap upon them miseries; all my arrows will I spend upon them.
24 De udmagres af Sult og hentæres af Pestglød og giftig Sot; så sender jeg Vilddyrs Tænder og Slangers Gift imod dem.
They shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter deadly disease; also the tooth of beasts will I let loose against them, with the poison of serpents that crawl in the dust.
25 Ude slår Sværdet Børnene ned og inde i Kamrene Rædselen både Yngling og Jomfru, diende Børn og grånende Mænd.
Without shall the sword destroy, and terror within the chambers, both the young man and the virgin, the suckling with the man of gray hairs.
26 Jeg satte mig for at blæse dem bort og slette deres Minde blandt Mennesker ud,
I said, I would drive them into one corner, I would cause their remembrance to cease from among men:
27 men jeg frygtede, at Fjenden skulde volde mig Græmmelse, deres Avindsmænd tage fejl og tænke: Det var vor egen Hånd, der var stærk, ej HERREN, der gjorde alt dette.
Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their oppressors should mistake the truth, lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not wrought all this.
28 Thi de er et rådvildt Folk, og i dem er der ikke Forstand.
For a nation void of counsel are they, and there is no understanding in them.
29 Var de vise, forstod de det og indså, hvad der venter dem selv!
If they were but wise, they would understand this, they would consider their latter end!
30 Hvor skulde een kunne forfølge tusind, og to slå ti Tusind på Flugt, hvis ikke deres klippe havde solgt dem og HERREN givet dem til Pris!
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had delivered them up?
31 Thi deres Klippe er ikke som vor, det ved vore Fjender bedst selv!
For not as our Rock is their rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 Thi fra Sodoma stammer deres Vinstok og fra Gomorras Marker; deres Druer er giftige Druer, og beske er deres Klaser;
For from the vine of Sodom is their vine, and from the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of gall, they bear bitter clusters.
33 som Dragegift er deres Vin, som Øglers gruelige Edder.
The poison of serpents is their wine, and the deadly venom of asps.
34 Er ej dette forvaret hos mig, forseglet i mine Gemmer
Behold! this is laid up in store with me, it is sealed up among my treasures!
35 til Hævnens og Regnskabets Dag, den Stund, deres Fod skal vakle? Thi deres Undergangs Dag stunder til; hvad der venter dem, kommer i Hast."
Mine are vengeance and recompense, at the time that their foot shall slip; for nigh draweth the day of their calamity, and the future speedeth along for them.
36 Thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og forbarmer sig over sine Tjenere, thi han ser, deres kraft er brudt, det er ude med hver og en.
For the Lord will espouse the cause of his people, and bethink himself concerning his servants: when he seeth that their power is gone, and the guarded and fortified axe no more.
37 Da spørger han: "Hvor er nu deres Gud, Klippen, på hvem de forlod, sig,
Then will he say, Where are their gods, the rock in whom they trusted,
38 som åd deres, Slagtofres Fedme og drak deres Drikofres Vin? Lad dem rejse sig og hjælpe eder, lad dem være eder et Skjul!
They that ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink-offerings? let them arise and help you, let them be a protection over you.
39 Erkend nu, at jeg, jeg er Gud uden anden Gud ved min Side. Jeg døder, jeg gør levende, jeg sårer, og jeg læger, "g ingen kan frelse fra min Hånd.
See now that I, even I, am he, ard there is no god with me: I alone kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; and no one can deliver out of my hand.
40 Thi jeg løfter min Hånd mod Himlen og siger: Så sandt jeg lever evindelig,
For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41 jeg hvæsser mit lynende Sværd, og min Hånd tager fat på Dommen, jeg hævner mig på mine Fjender, øver Gengæld mod mine Avindsmænd.
When I whet my glittering sword, and my hand taketh hold on judgment: I will render vengeance unto my enemies, and those that hate me will I requite.
42 Mine Pile gør jeg drukne af Blod, og mit Sværd skal svælge i Kød, i faldnes og fangnes Blod og fjendtlige Høvdingers Hoveder!"
I will make my arrows drunken with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; from the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the crushed head of the enemy.
43 I Folkeslag, pris hans Folk, thi han hævner sine Tjeneres Blod; han hævner sig på sine Fjender, og skaffer sit Folks Land Soning!
Speak aloud, O ye nations, the praises of his people; for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and vengeance will he render to his adversaries, and forgive his land, and people.
44 Og Moses kom og fremsagde hele denne Sang for Folket, han og Josua, Nuns Søn.
And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 Og da Moses var færdig med at fremsige alle disse Ord for hele Israel,
And when Moses had made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
46 sagde han til dem: "Læg eder alle de Ord på Sinde, som jeg i Dag har vidnet imod eder, for at du kan pålægge dine Sønner dem, at de omhyggeligt må handle efter alle denne Lovs Bud;
He said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify against you this day, so that ye may command them your children, to observe to do all the words of this law.
47 thi det er ikke tomme Ord uden Betydning for eder, men af dem afhænger eders Liv, og ved at følge det Ord skal I få et langt Liv i det Land, som l skal ind og tage i Besiddelse efter at være gået over Jordan."
For it is not a vain word for you; on the contrary, it is your life; and through this word shall ye live many days in the land, whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it.
48 Selv samme Dag talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses on that self-same day, saying,
49 "Stig op på Abarimbjerget der, Nebobjerget i Moabs Land over for Jeriko, og se ud over Kana'ans Land, som jeg vil give Israelitterne i Eje!
Get thee up into this mountain of 'Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is in front of Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession;
50 Og så skal du dø på det Bjerg, du bestiger, og samles til din Slægt, ligesom din Broder Aron døde på Bjerget Hor og samledes til sin Slægt,
And die on the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died on mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people;
51 fordi I handlede troløst imod mig iblandt Israelitterne ved Merihat Kadesjs Vand i Zins Ørken, fordi I ikke helligede mig iblandt Israelitterne.
Because ye trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of contention at Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52 Thi her ovre fra skal du se ud over Landet, men du skal ikke komme derind, ind i det Land, jeg vil give Israelitterne!
For from afar shalt thou see the land; but thither shalt thou not go unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
