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 do not make to yourselves idols; and graven image or standing image ye do not set up to yourselves; and a stone of imagery ye do not put in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I [am] Jehovah your God.

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

'My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I [am] Jehovah.

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

'If in My statutes ye walk, and My commands ye keep, and have done 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 have given your rains in their season, and the land hath given her produce, and the tree of the field doth give 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 reached to you hath the threshing, the gathering, and the gathering doth reach the sowing -[time]; and ye have eaten your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently 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 have given peace in the land, and ye have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword doth not pass over into your land.

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

'And ye have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen 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 have pursued a hundred, and a hundred of you do pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen 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 have turned unto you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established 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 have eaten old [store], and the old because of the new ye bring out.

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

'And I have given My tabernacle in your midst, and My soul doth not loathe you;

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

and I have walked habitually in your midst, and have become your God, and ye — ye are become 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] Jehovah your God, who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break the bars of your yoke, and cause you to go erect.

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

'And if ye do not hearken to Me, and do not all these commands;

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 at My statutes ye kick, and if My judgments your soul loathe, so as not to do all My commands — to your breaking 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.

I also do this to you, and I have appointed over you trouble, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and your seed in vain ye have sowed, and your enemies have eaten 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 have set My face against you, and ye have been smitten before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and ye have fled, and there is none pursuing you.

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

'And if unto these ye hearken not to Me, — then I have added to chastise you seven times for your sins;

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

and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as brass;

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 consumed hath been your strength in vain, and your land doth not give her produce, and the tree of the land doth not give 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 with Me [in] opposition, and are not willing to hearken to Me, then I have added to you a plague seven times, 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 sent against you the beast of the field, and it hath bereaved you; and I have cut off your cattle, and have made you few, and your ways have been desolate.

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

'And if by these ye are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,

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

then I have walked — I also — with you in opposition, and have smitten you, even I, seven times 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 have brought in on you a sword, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and ye have been gathered unto your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and ye have been given into the hand of an 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.

'In My breaking to you the staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and ye have eaten, and are not satisfied.

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

'And if for this ye hearken not to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,

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

then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have chastised you, even I, seven times for your sins.

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

'And ye have eaten the flesh of your sons; even flesh of your daughters ye do 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 have destroyed your high places, and cut down your images, and have put your carcases on the carcases of your idols, and My soul hath loathed you;

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

and I have made your cities a waste, and have made desolate your sanctuaries, and I smell not at your sweet fragrances;

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

and I have made desolate the land, and your enemies, who are dwelling in it, have been 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 I scatter among nations, and have drawn out after you a sword, and your land hath been a desolation, and your cities are 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 doth the land enjoy its sabbaths — all the days of the desolation, and ye in the land of your enemies — then doth the land rest, and hath enjoyed 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 the desolation it resteth that which it hath not rested in your sabbaths in your dwelling on 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 those who are left of you — I have also brought a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a leaf driven away hath pursued them, and they have fled — flight from a sword — and they have fallen, and there is 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 have stumbled one on another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and ye have no standing before your enemies,

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

and ye have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies hath consumed 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 those who are left of you — they consume away in their iniquity, in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, with them they consume away.

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 have confessed their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they have trespassed against Me, and also, that they have walked with Me, in opposition,

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.

also I walk to them in opposition, and have brought them into the land of their enemies — or then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and then they accept the punishment of 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.

then I have remembered My covenant [with] Jacob, and also My covenant [with] Isaac, and also My covenant [with] Abraham I remember, and the land 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.

'And — the land is left of them, and doth enjoy its sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, against My judgments they have kicked, and My statutes hath 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 also even this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I have not rejected them, nor have I loathed them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them; for I [am] Jehovah 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!

then I have remembered for them the covenant of the ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations to become their God; I [am] Jehovah.'

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

These [are] the statutes, and the judgments, and the laws, which Jehovah hath given between Him and the sons of Israel, in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
