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!

Ye shall not make yourselves any idols, and a graven image, or a standing image shall ye not rear up unto you, and any carved stone shall you not place in your land, to bow down upon it; for I am the Eternal your God.

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

My sabbaths shall ye keep, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am the Lord.

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

If in my statutes ye walk, and if my commandments ye keep, and do them:

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

Then will I give you rains in their due season, and the earth shall yield her products, and the tree of the field shall yield its fruit.

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.

And the threshing shall reach with you unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto sowing-time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and ye shall dwell 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.

And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, with none to make you afraid; and I will remove evil beasts out of the land, and the sword shall not pass through your land.

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

And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by 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.

And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

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

And I will turn myself unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you; and I will establish my covenant with you.

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

And ye shall eat very old store, and the old shall ye remove away because of the new.

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

And I will set my dwelling among you; and my soul shall not loath you.

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

And I will walk among you, and I will be to you a God, and ye shall be to me a 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 Eternal your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bond-men; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and caused you to walk upright.

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

But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

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,

And if my statutes ye despise, and if my ordinances your soul loath, so as not to do all my commandments, in that ye break my covenant:

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 will I also do this unto you, and I will inflict on you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart; and ye shall sow in vain your seed, for your enemies shall eat it.

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.

And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be struck down before your enemies: and they that hate you shall bear rule over you; and ye shall flee while there is no one pursuing you.

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

And if with these things even ye will not yet hearken unto me: then will I chastise you yet more, sevenfold for your sins.

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

And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as copper:

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.

And in vain shall your strength be spent; for your land shall not yield her products, and the tree of the land shall not yield its 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.

And if ye walk yet contrary unto me, and if you refuse to hearken unto me: then will I bring more plagues upon you, sevenfold according to 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.

And I will send out against you the beasts of the field, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and diminish yourselves; so that your roads shall be desolate.

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

And if notwithstanding these things ye will not be reformed by me, and walk contrary unto me:

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

Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and I also will punish you, sevenfold 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.

And I will bring over you the sword, avenging the quarrel of my covenant, so that ye shall be gathered together within your cities; and then will I send the pestilence among you, that ye shall deliver yourselves into the hand of the enemy;

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.

When I break unto you the staff of bread; and ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

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

And if notwithstanding this ye will not hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me:

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

Then will I also walk contrary unto you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you, sevenfold for your sins.

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

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

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.

And I will destroy your high-places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols; and my soul shall loath you.

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

And I will render your cities a waste, and I will make desolate your sanctuaries, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.

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

And I will surely make desolate the land: and your enemies who dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

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.

And you will I scatter among the nations, and I will draw out after you the sword; and your land shall be a desolate wild, and your cities shall be a waste.

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;

Then shall the land satisfy its sabbaths, all the days of its desolation, when ye are in the land of your enemies: then shall the land rest, and satisfy its sabbaths.

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

All the days of its desolation shall it rest, the time which it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

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;

And regarding those that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a leaf shaken shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from the sword; and they shall fall with none pursuing.

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.

And they shall stumble one over the other, as before the sword, without one pursuing: and ye shall have no power to stand up before your enemies.

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

And ye shall be lost among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall consume you.

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.

And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in the land of your enemies; and also through the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

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,

And they shall then confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, [that] through their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that [because] they had walked contrary unto 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.

I also had to walk contrary unto them, and to bring them into the land of their enemies; and then shall their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and then shall they satisfy their iniquity.

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.

And I will then remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and the land will I remember.

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 shall be forsaken by them, and shall satisfy its sabbaths, while it lieth desolate without them, and they shall satisfy their iniquity; because, even because my ordinances they despised, and my statutes their soul loathed.

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!

And yet for all that, though they be in the land of their enemies, will I not cast them away, neither will I loath them, to destroy them utterly, to break my covenant with them; for 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!

But I will remember for their sakes the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, that I might be unto them a 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 statutes and ordinances and laws, which the Lord made between him and the children of Israel on mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
