2 Mosebog 32
1 Men da Folket så, at Moses tøvede med at komme ned fra Bjerget, samlede det sig om Aron, og de sagde til ham: "Kom og lav os en Gud, som kan drage foran os, thi vi ved ikke, hvad der er blevet af denne Moses, der førte os ud af Ægypten!"
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people combined against Aaron, and said to him, Arise and make us gods who shall go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt—we do not know what is become of him.
2 Da sagde Aron til dem: "Riv de Guldringe af, som eders Hustruer, Sønner og Døtre har i Ørene, og bring mig dem!"
And Aaron says to them, Take off the golden ear-rings which are in the ears of your wives and daughters, and bring them to me.
3 Så rev hele Folket deres Guldørenringe af og bragte dem til Aron.
And all the people took off the golden ear-rings that were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
4 Og han modtog dem af deres Hånd, formede Guldet med en Mejsel og lavede en støbt Tyrekalv deraf. Da sagde de: "Her, Israel, er din Gud, som førte dig ud af Ægypten!"
And he received them at their hands, and formed them with a graving tool; and he made them a molten calf, and said, These [are] your gods, O Israel, which have brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
5 Og da Aron så det, byggede han et Alter for den, og Aron lod kundgøre: "I Morgen er det Højtid for HERREN!"
And Aaron having seen it built an altar before it, and Aaron made proclamation saying, To-morrow [is] a feast of the Lord.
6 Tidligt næste Morgen ofrede de så Brændofre og bragte Takofre og Folket satte sig til at spise og drikke, og derpå stod de op for at lege.
And having risen early on the morrow, he offered whole burnt offerings, and offered a peace-offering; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
7 Da sagde HERREN til Moses: "Skynd dig og stig ned, thi dit Folk, som du førte ud af Ægypten, har handlet ilde;
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go quickly, descend hence, for your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have transgressed;
8 hastigt veg de bort fra den Vej jeg bød dem at vandre; de har lavet sig en støbt Tyrekalv og tilbedt den og ofret til den med de Ord: Her, Israel, er din Gud, som førte dig ud af Ægypten!"
they have quickly gone out of the way which you commanded; they have made for themselves a calf, and worshipped it, and sacrificed to it, and said,
9 Og HERREN sagde til Moses: "Jeg har iagttaget dette Folk og set, at det er et halsstarrigt Folk.
These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
10 Lad mig nu råde, at min Vrede kan blusse op imod dem så vil jeg tilintetgøre dem; men dig vil jeg gøre til et stort Folk!"
And now let me alone, and I will be very angry with them and consume them, and I will make you a great nation.
11 Men Moses bønfaldt HERREN sin Gud og sagde: "Hvorfor HERRE skal din Vrede blusse op mod dit Folk, som du førte ud af Ægypten med vældig Kraft og stærk Hånd?
And Moses prayed before the Lord God, and said, Therefore, O Lord, are you very angry with your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with great strength, and with your high arm?
12 Hvorfor skal Ægypterne kunne sige: I ond Hensigt førte han dem ud, for at slå dem ihjel ude mellem Bjergene og udrydde dem af Jorden? Lad din Vredes Glød høre op, og anger den Ulykke, du vilde gøre dit Folk!
[Take heed] lest at any time the Egyptians speak, saying, With evil intent he brought them out to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from off the earth; cease from your wrathful anger, and be merciful to the sin of your people,
13 Kom Abraham, Isak og Israel i Hu, dine Tjenere, hvem du tilsvor ved dig selv: Jeg vil gøre eders Afkom talrigt som Himmelens Stjerner, og jeg vil give eders Afkom hele det Land, hvorom jeg har talet, og de skal eje det evindelig!"
remembering Abraam and Isaac and Jacob your servants, to whom you have sworn by yourself, and have spoken to them, saying, I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of heaven for multitude, and all this land which you spoke of to give to them, so that they shall possess it for ever.
14 Da angrede HERREN den Ulykke han havde truet med at gøre sit Folk.
And the Lord was prevailed upon to preserve his people.
15 Derpå vendte Moses tilbage og steg ned fra Bjerget med Vidnesbyrdets to Tavler i Hånden, Tavler, der var beskrevet på begge Sider, både på Forsiden og Bagsiden var de beskrevet.
And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tables of testimony were in his hands, tables of stone written on both their sides: they were written within and without.
16 Og Tavlerne var Guds Værk, og Skriften var Guds Skrift, ridset ind i Tavlerne.
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing the writing of God written on the tables.
17 Da hørte Josua Støjen af det larmende Folk, og han sagde til Moses: "Der høres Krigslarm i Lejren!"
And Joshua having heard the voice of the people crying, says to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
18 Men han svarede: "Det er ikke sejrendes eller slagnes Skrig, det er Sang, jeg hører!"
And [Moses] says, It is not the voice of them that begin the battle, nor the voice of them that begin [the cry] of defeat, but the voice of them that begin [the banquet] of wine do I hear.
19 Og da Moses nærmede sig Lejren og så Tyrekalven og Dansen, blussede hans Vrede op, og han kastede Tavlerne fra sig og sønderslog dem ved Bjergets Fod.
And when he drew near to the camp, he sees the calf and the dances; and Moses being very angry cast the two tables out of his hands, and broke them to pieces under the mountain.
20 Derpå tog han Tyrekalven, som de havde lavet, brændte den i Ilden og knuste den til Støv, strøde det på Vandet og lod Israeliterne drikke det.
And having taken the calf which they made, he consumed it with fire, and ground it very small, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel to drink it.
21 Og Moses sagde til Aron: "Hvad har dette Folk gjort dig, siden du har bragt så stor en Synd over det?"
And Moses said to Aaron, What has this people done to you, that you have brought upon them a great sin?
22 Aron svarede: "Vredes ikke, Herre! Du ved selv, at Folket ligger i det onde,
And Aaron said to Moses, Be not angry, [my] lord, for you know the impetuosity of this people.
23 og de sagde til mig: Lav os en Gud, som kan drage foran os, thi vi ved ikke, hvad der er blevet af denne Moses, der førte os ud af Ægypten!
For they say to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this man Moses, who brought us out of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him.
24 Da sagde jeg til dem: De, der har Guldsmykker, skal rive dem af! De bragte mig da Guldet, og jeg kastede det i Ilden, og så kom denne Tyrekalv ud deraf!"
And I said to them, If any one has golden ornaments, take them off; and they gave them me, and I cast them into the fire, and there came out this calf.
25 Da Moses nu så, at Folket var tøjlesløst til Skadefryd for deres Fjender, fordi Aron havde givet det fri Tøjler,
And when Moses saw that the people was scattered, —for Aaron [had] scattered them [so as to be] a rejoicing to their enemies, —
26 stillede han sig ved Indgangen til Lejren og sagde: "Hvem der er for HERREN, han komme hid til mig!" Da samlede alle Leviterne sig om ham,
then stood Moses at the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come to me. Then all the sons of Levi came to him.
27 og han sagde til dem: "Så siger HERREN, Israels Gud: Bind alle Sværd om Lænd og gå frem og tilbage fra den ene Indgang i Lejren til den anden og slå ned både Broder, Ven og Frænde!"
And he says to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Put every one his sword on his thigh, and go through and return from gate to gate through the camp, and kill every one his brother, and every one his neighbor, and every one him that is nearest to him.
28 Og Leviterne gjorde, som Moses havde sagt, og på den Dag faldt der af Folket henved 3000 Mand.
And the sons of Levi did as Moses spoke to them, and there fell of the people in that day to the [number of] three thousand men.
29 Og Moses sagde: "Fra i Dag af skal I være Præster for HERREN, thi ingen skånede Søn eller Broder, derfor skal Velsignelse komme over eder i Dag."
And Moses said to them, You have filled your hands this day to the Lord each one on his son or on his brother, so that blessing should be given to you.
30 Næste Dag sagde Moses til Folket: "I har begået en stor Synd; men nu vil jeg stige op til HERREN, måske kan jeg skaffe Soning for eders Synd!"
And it came to pass after the morrow [had begun], that Moses said to the people, You have sinned a great sin; and now I will go up to God, that I may make atonement for your sin.
31 Derpå gik Moses atter til HERREN og sagde: "Ak, dette Folk har begået en stor Synd, de har lavet sig en Gud af Guld.
And Moses returned to the Lord and said, I pray, O Lord, this people has sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves golden gods.
32 Om du dog vilde tilgive dem deres Synd! Hvis ikke, så udslet mig af den Bog, du fører!"
And now if you will forgive their sin, forgive [it]; and if not, blot me out of your book, which you have written.
33 HERREN svarede Moses: "Den, som har syndet imod mig, ham vil jeg udslette af min Bog!
And the Lord said to Moses, If any one has sinned against me, I will blot them out of my book.
34 Men gå nu og før Folket hen, hvor jeg har befalet dig at føre det hen; se, min Engel skal drage foran dig! Men til sin Tid vil jeg straffe dem for deres Synd!"
And now go, descend, and lead this people into the place of which I spoke to you: behold, my angel shall go before your face; and in the day when I shall visit I will bring upon them their sin.
35 Og HERREN slog Folket, fordi de havde lavet Tyrekalven, den, Aron lavede.
And the Lord struck the people for the making the calf, which Aaron made.
