5 Mosebog 9
1 Hør, Israel! Du drager nu over Jordan for at komme og gøre dig til Herre over Folk, der er større og mægtigere end du selv, over store Byer med himmelhøje Fæstningsværker;
Hear, O Israel: You are to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
2 over et stort Folk, høje som Kæmper, Anakiternes Efterkommere, som du selv kender, og om hvem du selv har hørt sige: Hvem kan holde Stand mod Anakiterne!"
A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
3 Så skal du nu vide, at det er HERREN din Gud, der går foran dig som en fortærende Ild; han vil ødelægge dem, og han vil underku dem for dig, så du kan drive dem bort og ødelægge dem i Hast, således som HERREN har sagt dig.
Understand therefore this day, that the LORD your God is he which goes over before you; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before your face: so shall you drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD has said to you.
4 Når HERREN din Gud jager dem bort foran dig, tænk så ikke: "For min Retfærdigheds Skyld lod HERREN mig komme ind og tage dette Land i Besiddelse!" Thi det er for disse Folks Ugudeligheds Skyld, at HERREN driver dem bort foran dig!
Speak not you in your heart, after that the LORD your God has cast them out from before you, saying, For my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD does drive them out from before you.
5 Det er ikke for din Retfærdigheds eller dit ædle Hjertes Skyld, du kommer ind og tager deres Land i Besiddelse, nej, det er på Grund af disse Folks Ondskab, at HERREN driver dem bort foran dig, og fordi han vil opfylde det Ord, han tilsvor dine Fædre, Abraham, Isak og Jakob.
Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may perform the word which the LORD swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6 Så vid da, at det ikke er for din Retfærdigheds Skyld, at HERREN din Gud giver dig dette herlige Land i Eje; thi du er et Folk med hårde Halse!
Understand therefore, that the LORD your God gives you not this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff necked people.
7 Kom i Hu, glem ikke, hvorledes du fortørnede HERREN din Gud i Ørkenen! Lige fra den Dag I drog ud af Ægypten, og til I kom til Stedet her, har I været genstridige mod HERREN.
Remember, and forget not, how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you did depart out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.
8 Ved Horeb fortørnede I HERREN, og HERREN blev vred på eder, så han vilde ødelægge eder.
Also in Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.
9 Da jeg var steget op på Bjerget for at modtage Stentavlerne, den Pagts Tavler, som HERREN havde sluttet med eder, opholdt jeg mig på Bjerget fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter uden at spise eller drikke,
When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I stayed in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
10 og HERREN gav mig de to Stentavler, beskrevne med Guds Finger; og på dem stod alle de Ord, HERREN havde talt til eder på Bjerget ud fra Ilden, den Dag I var forsamlet.
And the LORD delivered to me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spoke with you in the mount out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly.
11 Da de fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter var omme, gav HERREN mig de to Stentavler, Pagtens Tavler.
And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
12 Og HERREN sagde til mig: "Stå op og skynd dig ned herfra, thi det Folk, du førte ud af Ægypten, har handlet ilde; hastigt er de veget fra den Vej, jeg foreskrev dem: de har lavet sig et støbt Billede!"
And the LORD said to me, Arise, get you down quickly from hence; for your people which you have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
13 Og HERREN sagde til mig: "Jeg har set dette Folk, og se, det er et Folk med hårde Halse;
Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff necked people:
14 lad mig i Fred, så jeg kan ødelægge dem og udslette deres Navn under Himmelen; så vil jeg gøre dig til et Folk, mægtigere og større end det!"
Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.
15 Da vendte jeg mig bort og steg ned fra Bjerget med Pagtens to Tavler i mine Hænder, medens Bjerget brændte i lys Lue;
So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
16 og jeg så, og se, I havde syndet mod HERREN eders Gud, I havde lavet eder en støbt Tyrekalv; hastigt var I veget fra den Vej, HERREN havde foreskrevet eder.
And I looked, and, behold, you had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
17 Da greb jeg de to Tavler og kastede dem ud af mine Hænder og knuste dem for eders Øjne.
And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
18 Og derpå faldt jeg ned for HERRENs Åsyn fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter ligesom forrige Gang, uden at spise eller drikke, for alle eders Synders Skyld, som I havde begået, idet I gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, så I fortørnede ham.
And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which you sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
19 Thi jeg frygtede for, at HERREN skulde tilintetgøre eder i den Vrede og Harme, som opfyldte ham imod eder. Og HERREN bønhørte mig også den Gang!
For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me at that time also.
20 Også på Aron blev HERREN vred, så han vilde tilintetgøre ham; men den Gang gik jeg også i Forbøn for Aron.
And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
21 Men eders syndige Værk, Kalven, tog jeg og brændte; og jeg knuste og malede den til fint Støv, og Støvet kastede jeg i Bækken, som løber ned ad Bjerget.
And I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
22 Også i Tabera, Massa og Hibrot Hatta'va fortørnede I HERREN.
And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, you provoked the LORD to wrath.
23 Og da HERREN lod eder rejse fra Kadesj Barnea og bød eder drage op og tage det Land i Besiddelse, som han vilde give eder, trodsede I HERREN eders Guds Befaling, og I troede ikke på ham og adlød ham ikke.
Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and you believed him not, nor listened to his voice.
24 I har været genstridige mod HERREN, så længe jeg har kendt eder.
You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
25 Så faldt jeg ned for HERRENs Åsyn i de fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter, fordi HERREN havde sagt, at han vilde tilintetgøre eder,
Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
26 og jeg bad til HERREN og sagde: "Herre, HERRE, ødelæg ikke dit Folk og din Ejendom, som du udløste ved din store Magt og førte ud af Ægypten med stærk Hånd!
I prayed therefore to the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not your people and your inheritance, which you have redeemed through your greatness, which you have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27 Kom dine Tjenere i Hu, Abraham, Isak og Jakob; giv ikke Agt på dette Folks Halsstarrighed, på dets Ugudelighed og på dets Synd,
Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
28 for at man ikke skal sige i det Land, du førte os ud fra: Fordi HERREN ikke evnede at føre dem til det Land, han havde lovet dem, og fordi han hadede dem, derfor førte han dem ud for at lade dem omkomme i Ørkenen!
Lest the land from where you brought us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
29 De er jo dit Folk og din Ejendom, som du førte ud ved din store Kraft og din udstrakte Arm!"
Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your mighty power and by your stretched out arm.
