4 Mosebog 14
1 Da opløftede hele Menigheden sin Røst og brød ud i Klageråb, og Folket græd Natten igennem.
All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
2 Og alle Israelitterne knurrede imod Moses og Aron, og hele Menigheden sagde til dem: "Gid vi var døde i Ægypten eller her i Ørkenen!
All the children of Israel [God prevails] murmured against Moses [Drawn out] and against Aaron [Light-bringer]. The whole congregation said to them, “We wish that we had died in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], or that we had died in this wilderness!
3 Hvorfor fører HERREN os til dette Land, når vi skal falde for Sværdet og vore Kvinder og Børn blive til Bytte? Var det dog ikke bedre for os at vende tilbage til Ægypten?"
Why does Adonai bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be captured or killed! Wouldn’t it be better for us to teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery]?”
4 Og de sagde til hverandre: "Lad os vælge os en Fører og vende tilbage til Ægypten!"
They said to one another, “Let us make a captain, and let us teshuvah ·completely return· into Egypt [Abode of slavery].”
5 Da faldt Moses og Aron på deres Ansigt foran hele den israelitiske Menigheds Forsamling.
Then Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails].
6 Men Josua, Nuns Søn, og Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn, der havde været med til at undersøge Landet, sønderrev deres Klæder
Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun and Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes.
7 og sagde til hele Israelitternes Menighed: "Landet, vi har rejst igennem og undersøgt, er et såre, såre godt Land.
They spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.
8 Hvis HERREN har Behag i os, vil han føre os til det Land og give os det, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning.
If Adonai delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
9 Gør kun ikke Oprør imod HERREN og frygt ikke for Landets Befolkning, thi dem tager vi som en Bid Brød; deres Skygge er veget fra dem, men med os er HERREN; frygt ikke for dem!"
Only don’t rebel against Adonai, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and Adonai is with us. Don’t fear them.”
10 Hele Menigheden tænkte allerede på at stene dem; men da kom HERRENs Herlighed til Syne for alle Israelitterne ved Åbenbaringsteltet.
But all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. The kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel [God prevails].
11 Og HERREN sagde til Moses: "Hvor længe skal dette Folk håne mig, og hvor længe vil det vægre sig ved at tro på mig, til Trods for alle de Tegn jeg har gjort i det?
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not trust in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?
12 Jeg vil slå det med Pest og udrydde det, men dig vil jeg gøre til et Folk, større og stærkere end det!"
I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”
13 Men Moses sagde til HERREN: "Ægypterne har hørt, at du i din Vælde har ført dette Folk bort fra dem;
Moses [Drawn out] said to Adonai, “Then the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] will sh'ma ·hear obey· it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them.
14 og ligeledes har alle dette Lands Indbyggere hørt, at du, HERRE, er midt iblandt dette Folk, thi du, HERRE, åbenbarer dig synligt, idet din Sky står over dem, og du vandrer foran dem om Dagen i en Skystøtte og om Natten i en Ildstøtte.
They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that you Adonai are in the middle of this people; for you Adonai are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
15 Hvis du nu dræber dette Folk alle som een, vil de Folk, der har hørt dit Ry, sige:
Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the fame of you will speak, saying,
16 Fordi HERREN ikke evnede at føre dette Folk til det Land, han havde tilsvoret dem, lod han dem omkomme i Ørkenen.
‘Because Adonai was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.’
17 Derfor, HERRE, lad din Vælde nu vise sig i sin Storhed, således som du forjættede, da du sagde:
Now please let the power of 'Adonay [Lord] be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
18 HERREN er langmodig og rig på Miskundhed, han forlader Misgerning og Overtrædelse, men han lader ingen ustraffet, og han hjemsøger Fædrenes Brøde på Børnene i tredje og fjerde Led.
‘Adonai is slow to anger, and abundant in chesed ·loving-kindness·, forgiving depravity (moral evil) and rebellious breach of relationship; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the depravity (moral evil) of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.’
19 Så tilgiv nu dette Folk dets Misgerning efter din store Miskundhed, således som du har tilgivet dette Folk hele Vejen fra Ægypten og hertil!"
Please pardon the depravity (moral evil) of this people according to the greatness of your chesed ·loving-kindness·, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt [Abode of slavery] even until now.”
20 Da sagde HERREN: "Jeg tilgiver dem på din Bøn.
Adonai said, “I have pardoned according to your word:
21 Men så sandt jeg lever så sandt hele Jorden skal opfyldes af HERRENs Herlighed:
but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing·;
22 Ingen af de Mænd, der har set min Herlighed og de Tegn, jeg har gjort i Ægypten og i Ørkenen, og dog nu for tiende Gang har fristet mig og ikke villet lyde min Røst,
because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt [Abode of slavery] and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my voice;
23 ingen af dem skal se det Land, jeg tilsvor deres Fædre! Ingen af dem, der har hånet mig, skal få det at se;
surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it.
24 kun min Tjener Kaleb lader jeg komme til det Land, han har været i, og hans Efterkommere skal få det i Eje, fordi han havde en anden Ånd og viste mig fuld Lydighed.
But my servant Caleb [Dog], because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him I will bring into the land into which he went. His offspring shall possess it.
25 Men Amalekiterne og Kana'anæerne bor i Lavlandet. Vend derfor om i Morgen, bryd op og drag ud i Ørkenen ad det røde Hav til!"
Since the Amalekite [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn, and go into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea].”
26 Fremdeles talede HERREN til Moses og Aron og sagde:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], saying,
27 "Hvor længe skal jeg tåle denne onde Menighed, dem, som bestandig knurrer imod mig? Jeg har hørt Israelitternes Knurren, hørt, hvorledes de knurrer imod mig.
“How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the murmurings of the children of Israel [God prevails], which they murmur against me.
28 Sig til dem: Så sandt jeg lever lyder det fra HERREN, som I har råbt mig i Øret, således vil jeg handle med eder!
Tell them, ‘As I live, says Adonai, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you.
29 I Ørkenen her skal eders Kroppe falde, alle I, der blev mønstret, så mange I er fra Tyveårsalderen og opefter, I, som har knurret imod mig.
Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were counted of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,
30 Sandelig, ingen af eder skal komme til det Land, jeg med løftet Hånd svor at ville giver eder at bo i, med Undtagelse af Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn, og Josua, Nuns Søn.
surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun.
31 Eders små Børn, som I sagde vilde blive til Bytte, dem vil jeg lade komme derhen, og de skal tage det Land i Besiddelse, som I har vraget,
But your little ones, that you said should be captured or killed, them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.
32 men eders egne Kroppe skal falde i Ørkenen her,
But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
33 og eders Sønner skal flakke om i Ørkenen i fyrretyve År og undgælde for eders Bolen, indtil eders Kroppe er gået til Grunde i Ørkenen.
Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness.
34 Som I brugte fyrretyve Dage til at undersøge Landet, således skal I undgælde for eders Misgerninger i fyrretyve År, eet År for hver Dag, og således få mit Mishag at føle.
After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your depravities (moral evils), even forty years, and you will know my alienation.’
35 Jeg HERREN har sagt det: Sandelig, således vil jeg handle med hele denne onde Menighed, der har rottet sig sammen imod mig; i Ørkenen her skal de gå til Grunde, i den skal de dø!"
I, Adonai, have spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.”
36 Og de Mænd, Moses havde udsendt for at undersøge Landet, og som efter deres Tilbagekomst havde fået hele Menigheden til at knurre imod ham ved at tale nedsættende om Landet,
The men, whom Moses [Drawn out] sent to spy out the land, who teshuvah ·completely returned·, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
37 de Mænd, der havde talt nedsættende om Landet, fik en brat Død for HERRENs Åsyn:
even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Adonai.
38 kun Josua, Nuns Søn, og Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn, blev i Live af de Mænd, der var draget hen for at undersøge Landet.
But Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun, and Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.
39 Men da Moses forebragte alle Israelitterne disse Ord, grebes Folket af stor Sorg;
Moses [Drawn out] told these words to all the children of Israel [God prevails], and the people mourned greatly.
40 og tidligt næste Morgen drog de op mod det øverste af Bjerglandet og sagde: "Se, vi er rede til at drage op til det Sted, HERREN har talet om, thi vi, har syndet."
They rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Adonai has promised: for we have sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·.”
41 Da sagde Moses: "Hvorfor vil I overtræde HERRENs Bud? Det vil ikke gå godt!
Moses [Drawn out] said, “Why are you disobeying the order of Adonai? You shall not succeed!
42 Drag ikke derop, thi HERREN er ikke iblandt eder; gør I det, bliver I slået af eders Fjender!
Don’t go up, for Adonai is not among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies.
43 Thi Amalekiterne og Kana'anæerne vil møde eder der, og I skal falde for Sværdet; I har jo vendt eder fra HERREN, og HERREN er ikke med eder!"
For there the Amalekite [Descendant of Man who licks up] and the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] are before you, and you shall fall by the sword, because you turned back from following Adonai, therefore Adonai will not be with you.”
44 Alligevel formastede de sig til at drage op mod det øverste af Bjerglandet; men HERRENs Pagts Ark og Moses forlod ikke Lejren.
But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain. Nevertheless, the ark of Adonai’s covenant and Moses [Drawn out] didn’t depart out of the camp.
45 Da steg Amalekiterne og Kana'anæerne, der boede der i Bjerglandet, ned og slog dem og adsplittede dem lige til Horma.
Then the Amalekites [Descendants of Man who licks up] came down, and the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
