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!

“You must make no idols, and you must not lift up a carved figure or a sacred stone pillar, and you must not place any carved stone image in your land to which you bow down, for I am Yahweh your God.

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

You must keep my Sabbaths and honor my sanctuary. I am Yahweh.

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

If you walk in my laws and keep my commandments and obey 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 I will give you rain in its season; the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will yield their 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.

Your threshing will continue to the time of the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will extend to the planting season. You will eat your bread to the full and live safely where you make your home in the 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 give peace in the land; you will lie down with nothing to make you afraid. I will take the dangerous animals away from the land, and the sword will not pass through your land.

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

You will chase your enemies, and they will 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.

Five of you will chase away a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand; your enemies will 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.

I will look at you with favor and make you fruitful and multiply you; 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.

You will eat food stored a long time. You will have to bring out the stored food because you will need the room for the new harvest.

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

I will place my tabernacle among you, and I will not detest you.

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

I will walk among you and 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 Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, so that you would not be their slaves. I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you to walk standing up straight.

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

But if you will not listen to me, and will not obey 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 you reject my decrees and detest my laws, so that you will not obey all my commandments, but 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.

—if you do these things, then I will do this to you: I will inflict terror on you, diseases and fever that will destroy the eyes and will drain away your life. You will plant your seeds for nothing, because your enemies will eat their produce.

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 set my face against you, and you will be overpowered by your enemies. Men who hate you will rule over you, and you will run away, even when no one is 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 do not listen to me, then I will punish you seven times as severely 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 pride in your power. I will make the sky over you like iron and your land like 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 used up for nothing, because your land will not produce its harvest, and your trees in the land will not produce their 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 walk against me and will not listen to me, I will bring seven times more blows on you, in proportion 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.

I will send dangerous animals against you, which will steal your children, destroy your cattle, and make you few in number. So your roads will become deserted.

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

If in spite of these things you still do not accept my correction and you continue to walk in opposition to me,

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

then I will also walk in opposition to you, and I myself will punish you seven times because of 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 bring a sword on you that will execute vengeance for breaking the covenant. You will be gathered together inside your cities, and I will send a disease among you there, and then you will be delivered into the hand of your 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 cut off your food supply, ten women will be able to bake your bread in one oven, and they will distribute your bread by weight. You will eat but not be satisfied.

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

If you do not listen to me despite these things, but continue to walk against me,

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

then I will walk against you in anger, and I will punish you even seven more times as much for your sins.

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

You will eat the flesh of your sons; you will eat the flesh of your 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, cut down your incense altars, and throw your corpses on the corpses of your idols, and I myself will abhor you.

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

I will turn your cities into ruins and destroy your sanctuaries. I will not be pleased with the aroma of your offerings.

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

I will devastate the land. Your enemies who will live there will be shocked at the devastation.

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 will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out my sword and follow you. Your land will be abandoned, and your cities will be ruined.

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 the land will enjoy its Sabbaths for as long as it lies abandoned and you are in your enemies' lands. During that time, the land will 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.

As long as it lies abandoned, it will have rest, which will be the rest that it did not have with your Sabbaths, when you lived in 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;

As for those of you who are left in your enemies' lands, I will send fear into your hearts so that even the sound of a leaf blowing in the wind will startle you, and you will flee as though you were fleeing from the sword. You will fall, even when no one is chasing 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 will stumble over each other as though you were running from the sword, even though no one is chasing you. You will have no power to stand before your enemies.

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

You will perish among the nations, and your enemies' land will itself devour 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.

Those who are left among you will waste away in their sins, there in your enemies' lands, and because of their fathers' sins they will waste away as well.

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,

Yet if they confess their sins and their fathers' sin, and their treason by which they were unfaithful to me, and also their walking against 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.

which caused me to turn against them and I brought them into the land of their enemies—if their uncircumcised hearts become humbled, and if they accept the 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 will I call to mind my covenant with Jacob, my covenant with Isaac, and my covenant with Abraham; also, I will call the land to mind.

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.

The land will be abandoned by them, so it will be pleased with its Sabbaths while it lies abandoned without them. They will have to pay the penalty for their sins because they themselves rejected my decrees and detested my laws.

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!

Yet despite all this, when they are in their enemies' land, I will not reject them, neither will I detest them so as to completely destroy them and do away with my covenant with them, for I am Yahweh 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 for their sakes I will call to mind the covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, so that I might be their God. I am Yahweh.”

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

These are the commandments, decrees, and laws that Yahweh made between himself and the people of Israel at Mount Sinai through Moses.
