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 the people see that Moses is delaying to come down from the mountain, and the people assemble against Aaron, and say to him, “Rise, make gods for us, who go before us, for this Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt—we have not known what has happened to 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, “Break off the rings of gold which [are] in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring [them] to me”;
3 Så rev hele Folket deres Guldørenringe af og bragte dem til Aron.
and all the people break off the rings of gold which [are] in their ears, and bring [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 receives [it] from their hand, and fashions it with an engraving tool, and makes it [into] a molten calf, and they say, “These [are] your gods, O Israel, who 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 sees, and builds an altar before it, and Aaron calls, and says, “A festival to YHWH—tomorrow”;
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 they rise early on the next day, and cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and bring peace-offerings near; and the people sit down to eat and to drink, and rise 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Go, descend, for your people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt have done corruptly,
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 turned aside from the way that I have commanded them; they have made a molten calf for themselves, and bow themselves to it, and sacrifice to it, and say, These [are] your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
9 Og HERREN sagde til Moses: "Jeg har iagttaget dette Folk og set, at det er et halsstarrigt Folk.
And YHWH says to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, it [is] a stiff-necked people;
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, leave Me alone, and My anger burns against them, and I consume them, and I make you become 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 appeases the face of his God YHWH and says, “Why, O YHWH, does Your anger burn against Your people, whom You have brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a strong hand?
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!
Why do the Egyptians speak, saying, He brought them out in calamity to slay them among mountains, and to consume them from off the face of the ground? Turn back from the heat of Your anger, and relent from this calamity against 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!"
Be mindful of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, Your servants, to whom You have sworn by Yourself, and to whom You speak: I multiply your seed as stars of the heavens, and all this land, as I have said, I give to your seed, and they have inherited [it] for all time”;
14 Da angrede HERREN den Ulykke han havde truet med at gøre sit Folk.
and YHWH relents from the evil which He has spoken of doing to 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 turns, and goes down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the Testimony [are] in his hand, tablets written on both their sides; they [are] written on this [side] and on that [side];
16 Og Tavlerne var Guds Værk, og Skriften var Guds Skrift, ridset ind i Tavlerne.
and the tablets are the work of God, and the writing is the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
17 Da hørte Josua Støjen af det larmende Folk, og han sagde til Moses: "Der høres Krigslarm i Lejren!"
And Joshua hears the voice of the people in their shouting and says to Moses, “A noise of battle in the camp!”
18 Men han svarede: "Det er ikke sejrendes eller slagnes Skrig, det er Sang, jeg hører!"
And he says, “It is not the voice of the crying of might, nor is it the voice of the crying of weakness—I am hearing a voice of singing.”
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 it comes to pass, when he has drawn near to the camp, that he sees the calf, and the dancing, and the anger of Moses burns, and he casts the tablets out of his hands, and breaks them below 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 he takes the calf which they have made, and burns [it] with fire, and grinds [it] until [it is] small, and scatters [it] on the face of the waters, and causes the sons of Israel to drink.
21 Og Moses sagde til Aron: "Hvad har dette Folk gjort dig, siden du har bragt så stor en Synd over det?"
And Moses says to Aaron, “What has this people done to you, that you have brought in a great sin on it?”
22 Aron svarede: "Vredes ikke, Herre! Du ved selv, at Folket ligger i det onde,
And Aaron says, “Do not let the anger of my lord burn; you have known the people, that it [is beset] with evil;
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!
and they say to me, Make gods for us, who go before us, for this Moses—the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt—we have not known what has happened to 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 say to them, Whoever has gold, let them break [it] off, and they give [it] to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf comes out.”
25 Da Moses nu så, at Folket var tøjlesløst til Skadefryd for deres Fjender, fordi Aron havde givet det fri Tøjler,
And Moses sees the people, that it [is] unbridled, for Aaron has made it unbridled for contempt among its withstanders,
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,
and Moses stands in the gate of the camp and says, “Who [is] for YHWH? [Come] to me!” And all the sons of Levi are gathered 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 said YHWH, God of Israel: Each put his sword by his thigh, pass over and turn back from gate to gate through the camp, and each slay his brother, and each his friend, and each his relation.”
28 Og Leviterne gjorde, som Moses havde sagt, og på den Dag faldt der af Folket henved 3000 Mand.
And the sons of Levi do according to the word of Moses, and there falls of the people on that day about 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 says, “Consecrate your hand to YHWH today, for a man [is] against his son, and against his brother, so as to bring a blessing on you today.”
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 comes to pass, on the next day, that Moses says to the people, “You have sinned a great sin, and now I go up to YHWH, perhaps I can atone 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 turns back to YHWH and says, “Ah, now this people has sinned a great sin, that they make a god of gold for themselves;
32 Om du dog vilde tilgive dem deres Synd! Hvis ikke, så udslet mig af den Bog, du fører!"
and now, if You take away their sin—and if not—please blot me out of Your scroll which You have written.”
33 HERREN svarede Moses: "Den, som har syndet imod mig, ham vil jeg udslette af min Bog!
And YHWH says to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me—I blot him out of My scroll;
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, lead the people wherever I have spoken to you of; behold, My Messenger goes before you, and in the day of my charging—then I have charged their sin on them.”
35 Og HERREN slog Folket, fordi de havde lavet Tyrekalven, den, Aron lavede.
And YHWH plagues the people because they made the calf which Aaron made.
