5 Mosebog 33
1 Dette er den Velsignelse, hvormed den Guds Mand Moses velsignede Israel før sin Død
This is the blessing that Moses the man of God pronounced upon the Israelites before his death.
2 Han sagde: HERREN kom fra Sinaj, fra Seir fremstråled han for dem, brød frem i Lysglans fra Parans Bjerge og kom fra Meribat Kadesj. Ved hans højre lued Ild dem i Møde.
He said: “The LORD came from Sinai and dawned upon us from Seir; He shone forth from Mount Paran and came with myriads of holy ones, with flaming fire at His right hand.
3 Visselig, han elsker sit Folk, alle hans hellige er i hans Hænder; og de sætter sig ved din Fod og tager mod Ord fra dig.
Surely You love the people; all the holy ones are in Your hand, and they sit down at Your feet; each receives Your words—
4 En Lov har Moses pålagt os. Hans Eje er Jakobs Forsamling,
the law that Moses gave us, the possession of the assembly of Jacob.
5 og han blev Konge i Jesjurun, da Folkets Høvdinger kom sammen, og Israels Stammer forsamled sig.
So the LORD became King in Jeshurun when the leaders of the people gathered, when the tribes of Israel came together.
6 Måtte Ruben leve og ikke dø, hans Mænd blive dog et Tal!
Let Reuben live and not die, nor his men be few.”
7 Og disse Ord sagde han om Juda: Hør, HERRE, Judas Råb og lad ham komme til sit Folk! Strid for ham med dine Hænder, vær ham en Hjælp mod hans Fjender!
And concerning Judah he said: “O LORD, hear the cry of Judah and bring him to his people. With his own hands he defends his cause, but may You be a help against his foes.”
8 Om Levi sagde han: Giv Levi dine Tummim, din Yndling dine Urim, ham, som du prøved ved Massa og bekæmped ved Meribas Vand,
Concerning Levi he said: “Give Your Thummim to Levi and Your Urim to Your godly one, whom You tested at Massah and contested at the waters of Meribah.
9 som sagde om sin Fader: "Jeg så ham aldrig!" som ikke brød sig om sine Brødre og ikke kendtes ved sine Sønner, thi de holdt dit Ord og holdt fast ved din Pagt.
He said of his father and mother, ‘I do not consider them.’ He disregarded his brothers and did not know his own sons, for he kept Your word and maintained Your covenant.
10 De skal lære Jakob dine Lovbud og Israel din Lov, bringe Offerduft op i din Næse og Helofre på dine Altre.
He will teach Your ordinances to Jacob and Your law to Israel; he will set incense before You and whole burnt offerings on Your altar.
11 Velsign, o HERRE, hans Kraft, find Behag i hans Hænders Værk. Knus Lænderne på hans Fjender, på hans Avindsmænd, så de ej rejser sig mer!
Bless his substance, O LORD, and accept the work of his hands. Smash the loins of those who rise against him, and of his foes so they can rise no more.”
12 Om Benjamin sagde han: Benjamin er HERRENs Yndling, han bor bestandig i Tryghed, den Højeste skærmer ham og bor imellem hans Skrænter.
Concerning Benjamin he said: “May the beloved of the LORD rest secure in Him; God shields him all day long, and upon His shoulders he rests.”
13 Om Josef sagde han: Hans Land er velsignet af HERREN med det kosteligste fra Himlen oventil og fra Dybet, som ruger for neden,
Concerning Joseph he said: “May his land be blessed by the LORD with the precious dew from heaven above and the deep waters that lie beneath,
14 med det kosteligste, Solen frembringer, med det kosteligste, Måneskifterne fremkalder,
with the bountiful harvest from the sun and the abundant yield of the seasons,
15 med det bedste fra de ældgamle Bjerge og det kosteligste fra de evige Høje,
with the best of the ancient mountains and the bounty of the everlasting hills,
16 med det kosteligste af Jorden og dens Fylde og Nåde fra ham, der boede i Tornebusken. Det skal komme over Josefs Hoved, over Issen på ham, som er Hersker blandt sine Brødre.
with the choice gifts of the land and everything in it, and with the favor of Him who dwelt in the burning bush. May these rest on the head of Joseph and crown the brow of the prince of his brothers.
17 Som den unge Okses er hans Højhed, som Vildoksens er hans Horn; med dem nedstøder han Folkene, så vidt som Jorden strækker sig. Sådan er Efraims Titusinder, sådan er Manasses Tusinder!
His majesty is like a firstborn bull, and his horns are like those of a wild ox. With them he will gore the nations, even to the ends of the earth. Such are the myriads of Ephraim, and such are the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 Om Zebulon sagde han: Glæd dig, Zebulon, over din Udfart, du, Issakar, over dine Telte!
Concerning Zebulun he said: “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your journeys, and Issachar, in your tents.
19 Til Bjerget stævner de Folkeslag, der ofrer de Retfærds Ofre, thi Havets Overflod dier de og Havsandets skjulteste Skatte!
They will call the peoples to a mountain; there they will offer sacrifices of righteousness. For they will feast on the abundance of the seas and the hidden treasures of the sand.”
20 Om Gad sagde han: Priset være han, der skaffer Plads for Gad! Han ligger som en Løve og flænger både Arme og Hjerneskal;
Concerning Gad he said: “Blessed is he who enlarges the domain of Gad! He lies down like a lion and tears off an arm or a head.
21 han udså sig en Forlodsdel, thi der tilfaldt hans Lod ham. Og Folkets Høvdinger samled sig. Han fuldbyrdede HERRENs Ret og hans Beslutninger sammen med Israel!
He chose the best land for himself, because a ruler’s portion was reserved for him there. He came with the leaders of the people; he administered the LORD’s justice and His ordinances for Israel.”
22 Om Dan sagde han: Dan er en Løveunge, som springer frem fra Basan.
Concerning Dan he said: “Dan is a lion’s cub, leaping out of Bashan.”
23 Om Naftali sagde han: Naftali er mæt af Nåde og fuld af HERRENs Velsignelse, Søen og Søvejen har han i Eje.
Concerning Naphtali he said: “Naphtali is abounding with favor, full of the blessing of the LORD; he shall take possession of the sea and the south.”
24 Om Aser sagde han: Aser være den velsignede blandt Sønnerne, han være sine Brødres Yndling og dyppe sin Fod i Olie!
And concerning Asher he said: “May Asher be the most blessed of sons; may he be the most favored among his brothers and dip his foot in oil.
25 Dine Portslåer er Jern og Kobber, som dine dage skal din Styrke være.
May the bolts of your gate be iron and bronze, and may your strength match your days.”
26 Der er ingen som Jesjuruns Gud, der farer frem over Himmelen for at hjælpe dig, over Skyerne i sin Højhed!
“There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to your aid, and the clouds in His majesty.
27 Den evige Gud er en Bolig, og hernede er de evige Arme. Fjenden drev han bort for dit Åsyn og sagde: "Tilintetgør dem!"
The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He drives out the enemy before you, giving the command, ‘Destroy him!’
28 Så kom Israel til at bo i Tryghed, Jakobkilden for sig selv, i et Land med Korn og Most, ja, hvis Himmel drypper med Dug.
So Israel dwells securely; the fountain of Jacob lives untroubled in a land of grain and new wine, where even the heavens drip with dew.
29 Held dig, Israel, hvo er som du, et Folk, der får Sejr ved HERREN! Han er din Frelses Skjold, haner din Højheds Sværd. Dine Fjender slesker for dig, over deres Høje skrider du frem.
Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD? He is the shield that protects you, the sword in which you boast. Your enemies will cower before you, and you shall trample their high places.”
