3 Mosebog 26

1 I må ikke gøre eder Afguder; udskårne Billeder og Stenstøtter må I ikke rejse eder, ej heller må I opstille nogen Sten med Billedværk i eders Land for at tilbede den; thi jeg er HERREN eders Gud!

“Don't make yourselves idols anywhere in your land and bow down to worship them, whether they are images or sacred pillars or stone sculptures. For I am the Lord your God.

2 Mine Sabbater skal I holde, og min Helligdom skal I frygte. Jeg er HERREN!

Keep my Sabbaths and show respect for my sanctuary. I am the Lord.

3 Hvis I følger mine Anordninger og holder mine Bud og handler efter dem,

If you follow my rules and keep my regulations,

4 vil jeg give eder den Regn, I behøver, til sin Tid, Landet skal give sin Afgrøde, og Markens Træer skal give deres Frugt.

I will make sure it rains at the right time so that the ground will grow good crops and the fruit trees will be productive.

5 Tærskning skal hos eder vare til Vinhøst, og Vinhøst skal vare til Såtid. I skal spise eder mætte i eders Brød og bo trygt i eders Land.

Your time of threshing will last right up to the grape harvest, and the grape harvest until the time you have to sow again. You will have more than enough to eat and you will live in safety in your land.

6 Jeg vil give Fred i Landet, så I kan lægge eder til Hvile, uden at nogen skræmmer eder op; jeg vil udrydde de vilde Dyr af Landet, og intet Sværd skal hærge eders Land.

I will make sure your land is at peace. You will be able to sleep without being afraid of anything. I will get rid of dangerous animals from the land, and you will not suffer from any violent enemy attacks.

7 I skal forfølge eders Fjender, og de skal falde for Sværdet foran eder.

You will chase your enemies, and kill them with the sword.

8 Fem af eder skal forfølge hundrede, og hundrede af eder skal forfølge ti Tusinde, og eders, Fjender skal falde for Sværdet foran eder.

Five of you will kill one hundred, and one hundred of you will kill ten thousand. You will destroy your enemies.

9 Jeg vil vende mig til eder, jeg vil gøre eder frugtbare og mangfoldige, og jeg vil stadfæste min Pagt med eder.

I will come to help you, so you will reproduce and increase in numbers, and I will confirm my agreement with you.

10 I skal spise gammelt Korn, til I for det nye Korns Skyld må tømme Laderne for det gamle.

You'll still be eating your old stock of grain when you need to get rid of it so you can store the new grain.

11 Jeg vil opslå min Bolig midt iblandt eder, og min Sjæl skal ikke væmmes ved eder.

I will come and live with you—I certainly won't reject you.

12 Jeg vil vandre iblandt eder og være eders Gud, og I skal være mit Folk.

I shall always be right there with you. I will be your God, and you will be my people.

13 Jeg er HERREN eders Gud, som førte eder ud af Ægypten, for at I ikke mere skulde være deres Trælle; jeg sønderbrød eders Ågstænger og lod eder vandre med rank Nakke.

I am the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt so you wouldn't have to be slaves to the Egyptians any longer. I smashed the yoke that kept you bent down and helped you to stand up straight.

14 Men hvis I ikke adlyder mig og handler efter alle disse Bud,

But if you don't pay attention to me and do what I tell you;

15 hvis I lader hånt om mine Anordninger og væmmes ved mine Lovbud, så I ikke handler efter alle mine Bud, men bryder min Pagt,

if you reject my laws, hate my regulations, and refuse to follow my commandments, and consequently break my agreement,

16 så vil også jeg gøre lige for lige imod eder og hjemsøge eder med skrækkelige Ulykker: Svindsot og Feberglød, så Øjnene sløves og Sjælen vansmægter. Til ingen Nytte sår I eders Sæd, thi eders Fjender skal fortære den.

then this is what I am going to do to you: I will make you panic, and suffer from diseases like tuberculosis and fever that make you blind and drain your life away. It will be pointless for you to sow seed in your fields because your enemies will eat the harvest.

17 Jeg vender mit Åsyn imod eder, så I bliver slået på Flugt for eders Fjender; eders Avindsmænd skal underkue eder, og I skal flygte, selv om ingen forfølger eder.

I will turn against you, and you'll be defeated by your enemies. People who hate you will rule over you, and you'll run away even when there's no one chasing you!

18 Og hvis I alligevel ikke adlyder mig, så vil jeg tugte eder endnu mere, ja syvfold, for eders Synder.

If after all this you still refuse to obey me, I will move to punishing you seven times over for your sins.

19 Jeg vil bryde eders hovmodige Trods, jeg vil gøre eders Himmel som Jern og eders Jord som Kobber.

I will break your self-reliant strength you're so proud of, and make your sky hard as iron and your land hard as bronze.

20 Til ingen Nytte skal I slide eders Kræfter op, thi eders Jord skal ikke give sin Afgrøde, og Landets Træer skal ikke give deres Frugt.

Your strength will be completely wasted because your land won't produce crops, and your trees won't produce fruit.

21 Og hvis I alligevel handler genstridigt imod mig og ikke adlyder mig, så vil jeg slå eder endnu mere, ja syvfold, for eders Synder.

If you go on opposing me and refusing to do what I tell you, I will make your punishments seven times worse, based on your sins.

22 Jeg vil sende Markens vilde Dyr imod eder, for at de skal røve eders Børn fra eder, udrydde eders Kvæg og mindske eders Tal, så eders Veje bliver øde.

I will send wild animals to kill your children, wipe out your livestock, and make you so few in number that there won't be anyone on your roads.

23 Og hvis I alligevel ikke tager mod min Tugt, men handler genstridigt imod mig,

However, if in spite of all this correction you still don't change but go on opposing me,

24 så vil også jeg handle genstridigt imod eder og slå eder syvfold for eders Synder.

then I will take action against you. I will punish you seven times over for your sins.

25 Jeg vil bringe et Hævnens Sværd over eder til Hævn for den brudte Pagt; og søger I Tilflugt i eders Byer, vil jeg sende Pest iblandt eder, så I må overgive eder i Fjendens Hånd.

I will send enemies with swords to attack you in retaliation for breaking the agreement. Even though you retreat into your towns for defense, I will plague you with disease, and you will be handed over to your enemies.

26 Når jeg bryder Brødets Støttestav for eder, skal ti Kvinder bage eders Brød i een Bagerovn og give eder Brødet tilbage efter Vægt, så I ikke han spise eder mætte.

I will send a famine so bread is in short supply. One oven will serve the needs of ten women baking bread. It will be distributed by weight so that you'll eat but won't have enough.

27 Og hvis I alligevel ikke adlyder mig, men handler genstridigt mod mig,

However, if in spite of all this you don't obey me, but go on opposing me,

28 så vil også jeg i Vrede handle genstridigt mod eder og tugte eder syvfold for eders Synder.

then I will take action against you in a rage of fury, and I will punish you myself seven times over for your sins.

29 I skal fortære eders Sønners Kød, og eders Døtres Kød skal I fortære.

You will eat the bodies of your own sons and daughters.

30 Jeg vil lægge eders Offerhøje øde og tilintetgøre eders Solsøjler; jeg vil dynge eders Lig oven på Ligene af eders Afgudsbilleder, og min Sjæl skal væmmes ved eder.

I will destroy your high places of worship, smash your altars of incense, and pile up your dead bodies on what remains of your idols, which also have no life at all. I will really despise you.

31 Jeg vil lægge eders Byer i Ruiner og ødelægge eders Helligdomme og ikke indånde eders liflige Offerduft.

I will demolish your towns and destroy your pagan sanctuaries, and I will refuse to accept your sacrifices.

32 Jeg vil lægge eders Land øde, så eders Fjender, der bor deri, skal blive målløse derover;

I will devastate your land myself, so that your enemies who come and live in it will be horrified at what has happened.

33 og eder selv vil jeg sprede blandt Folkeslagene, og jeg vil gå bag efter eder med draget Sværd. Eders Land skal blive en Ørken, og eders Byer skal lægges i Ruiner.

I'm going to scatter you among the nations. You will be chased out by armies with swords as your land is ruined and your towns are destroyed.

34 Da skal Landet, medens det ligger øde, og I er i eders Fjenders Land, få sine Sabbater godtgjort, da skal Landet hvile og få sine Sabbater godtgjort;

At least then the land will be able to enjoy its Sabbaths all the time it's abandoned while you are in exile in the land of your enemies. The land will finally be able to rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

35 medens det ligger øde, skal det få den Hvile, det ikke fik på eders Sabbater, dengang I boede deri.

The whole time it's abandoned the land will observe the Sabbaths of rest that it wasn't able to do while you were living there.

36 Men dem, der bliver tilbage af eder, over deres Hjerter bringer jeg Modløshed i deres Fjenders Lande, så at Lyden af et raslende Blad kan drive dem på Flugt, så de flygter, som man flygter for Sværdet, og falder, skønt ingen forfølger dem;

I will make those of you who survive so discouraged that as you live in the lands of your enemies even the sound of a leaf blowing in the wind will scare you into running away! You'll run away like you're being chased by someone with a sword, and fall down even though no one is after you.

37 de skal falde over hverandre, som om Sværdet var efter dem, skønt ingen forfølger dem; og I skal ikke holde Stand over for eders Fjender.

You'll trip over each other as you run away from the attack, then though no one's there. You'll have no power to resist your enemies.

38 I skal gå til Grunde blandt Folkeslagene, eders Fjenders Land skal fortære eder.

You'll die in exile and you'll be buried in a foreign country.

39 De, der bliver tilbage af eder, skal sygne hen for deres Misgernings Skyld i eders Fjenders Lande, også for deres Fædres Misgerninger skal de sygne hen ligesom de.

Those of you who do manage to survive in the countries of your enemies will wither away because of their guilt, decaying as they share the sins of their fathers.

40 Da skal de bekende deres Misgerning og deres Fædres Misgerning, den Troløshed, de begik imod mig. Også skal de bekende, at fordi de handlede genstridigt mod mig,

They need to confess their sins and those of their fathers, acting in such an unfaithful way towards me, opposing me.

41 måtte også jeg handle genstridigt mod dem og føre dem bort til deres Fjenders Land; ja, da skal deres uomskårne Hjerter ydmyges, og de skal undgælde for deres Skyld.

Because of this I took action against them and exiled them in the countries of their enemies. However, if they humbly give up their stubborn attitude and accept their punishment for their sins,

42 Da vil jeg komme min Pagt med Jakob i Hu, også min Pagt med Isak, også min Pagt med Abraham vil jeg komme i Hu, og Landet vil jeg komme i Hu.

then I will fulfill the agreement I made with Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham, and I will not forget my promise about the land.

43 Men først må Landet forlades af dem og have sine Sabbater godtgjort, medens det ligger øde og forladt af dem, og de skal undgælde for deres Skyld, fordi, ja, fordi de lod hånt om mine Lovbud og væmmedes ved mine Anordninger.

For the land will be left empty by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths being abandoned. They will pay for their sins, because they rejected my rules and regulations.

44 Men selv da, når de er i deres Fjenders Land, vil jeg ikke lade hånt om dem og ikke væmmes ved dem til deres fuldkomne Undergang, så jeg skulde bryde min Pagt med dem; thi jeg er HERREN deres Gud!

But despite all this, even while they are living in land of their enemies, I will not reject or hate them so much as to destroy them and break my agreement with them, because I am the Lord their God.

45 Jeg vil til deres Bedste ihukomme Pagten med Fædrene, som jeg førte ud af Ægypten for Folkeslagenes Øjne for at være deres Gud. Jeg er HERREN!

Because of them I will renew the agreement I made with their fathers, those I led out of Egypt as the other nations watched, in order that I might be their God. I am the Lord.”

46 Det er de Anordninger, Lovbud og Love, HERREN fastsatte mellem sig og Israeliterne på Sinaj Bjerg ved Moses.

These are the rules, regulations, and laws that the Lord set up between himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
