Deuteronomy 1
1 These [are] the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side Jordan in the desert towards the west near the Red Sea, between Pharan Tophol, and Lobon, and Aulon, and the gold works.
Disse ere de Ord, som Mose har talet til al Israel paa hin Side Jordanen, i Ørken paa den slette Mark, over for Suf, imellem Paran og imellem Tofel og Laban og Hazeroth og Di-Sahab,
2 [It is] a journey of eleven days from Choreb to mount Seir as far as Cades Barne.
elleve Dages Rejse fra Horeb til Seirs Bjerge, indtil Kades-Barnea.
3 And it came to pass in the forties year, in the eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, Moses spoke to all the children of Israel, according to all things which the Lord commanded him for them:
Og det skete i det fyrretyvende Aar, i den ellevte Maaned, paa den første Dag i Maaneden, da talede Mose til Israels Børn, efter alt det som Herren havde budet ham til dem,
4 after he had struck Seon king of the Amorites who lived in Esebon, and Og the king of Basan who lived in Astaroth and in Edrain;
efter at han havde slaaet Sihon, Amoriternes Konge, som boede i Hesbon, og Og, Kongen af Basan, som boede i Astharoth ved Edrei.
5 beyond Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,
Paa hin Side Jordanen i Moabiternes Land begyndte Mose at udlægge denne Lov og sagde:
6 The Lord your God spoke to us in Choreb, saying, Let it suffice you to have lived [so long] in this mountain.
Herren vor Gud talede til os ved Horeb og sagde: I have længe nok været ved dette Bjerg.
7 Turn you and depart and enter into the mountain of the Amorites, and [go] to all that dwell near about Araba, to the mountain and the plain and to the south, and the land of the Chananites near the sea, and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
Vender om og rejser, og drager til Amoriternes Bjerg, og til alle deres Naboer paa den slette Mark, paa Bjergene og i Lavlandet, og i Sønden og ved Havets Strand; til Kananiternes Land og til Libanon, indtil den store Flod, den Flod Frat.
8 Behold, [God] has delivered the land before you; go in and inherit the land, which I sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give it to them and to their seed after them.
Se, jeg har givet det Land for eders Ansigt; kommer og indtager det Land, som Herren har tilsvoret eders Fædre, Abraham, Isak og Jakob at give dem og deres Sæd efter dem.
9 And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I shall not be able by myself to bear you.
Da talede jeg til eder paa den samme Tid og sagde: Jeg kan ikke ene bære eder.
10 The Lord your God has multiplied you, and, behold, you are today as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Herren eders Gud har gjort eder mangfoldige, og se, I ere i Dag som Stjernerne paa Himmelen i Mangfoldighed.
11 The Lord God of your fathers add to you a thousand-fold more than you are, and bless you as he has spoken to you.
Herren eders Fædres Gud lægge tusinde Gange flere til eder, end I ere, og han velsigne eder, som han har sagt eder!
12 How shall I alone be able to bear your labour, and your burden, and your gainsayings?
Hvorledes kan jeg ene bære eders Besvær og eders Byrde og eders Trætte?
13 Take to yourselves wise and understanding and prudent men for your tribes, and I will set your leaders over you.
Forskaffer mig vise og forstandige og forsøgte Mænd af eders Stammer, og jeg vil sætte dem til Høvedsmænd over eder.
14 And you answered me and said, The thing which you have told us [is] good to do.
Da svarede I mig og sagde: Det er en god Ting, som du siger, at du vil gøre.
15 So I took of you wise and understanding and prudent men, and I set them to rule over you as rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, and rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and officers to your judges.
Saa tog jeg eders Stammers Høvedsmænd, vise og forsøgte Mænd, og satte dem til Høvedsmænd over eder: Til Øverster over Tusinder og Øverster over Hundreder og Øverster over halvtredssindstyve og Øverster over ti og til Fogeder for eders Stammer.
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [causes] between your brethren, and judge rightly between a man and [his] brother, and the stranger that is with him.
Og jeg bød eders Dommere paa samme Tid og sagde: Hører Sagerne imellem eders Brødre og dømmer med Retfærdighed imellem en Mand og hans Broder og imellem den fremmede hos ham.
17 You shall not have respect to persons in judgement, you shall judge small and great equally; you shall not shrink from before the person of a man, for the judgement is God's; and whatever matter shall be too hard for you, you shall bring it to me, and I will hear it.
I skulle i Dommen ikke anse Personen, I skulle høre den mindste med den største, I skulle ikke frygte for nogen, thi Dommen hører Gud til; men den Sag, som bliver eder for svar, lader den komme frem til mig, saa vil jeg høre den.
18 And I charged upon you at that time all the commands which you shall perform.
Da bød jeg eder paa samme Tid alt, hvad I skulle gøre.
19 And we departed from Choreb, and went through all that great wilderness and terrible, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite, as the Lord our God charged us, and we came as far as Cades Barne.
Saa rejste vi fra Horeb og gik igennem hele den store og forfærdelige Ørk, hvilken I saa, ad Vejen til Amoritens Bjerg, som Herren vor Gud befalede os; og vi kom til Kades-Barnea.
20 And I said to you, You have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to you:
Da sagde jeg til eder: I ere komne til Amoritens Bjerg, hvilket Herren vor Gud vil give os.
21 behold, the Lord your God has delivered to us the land before you: go up and inherit it as the Lord God of your fathers said to you; fear not, neither be afraid.
Se, Herren din Gud har givet det Land for dit Ansigt; drag op, indtag det, som Herren dine Fædres Gud har sagt dig, frygt ikke og ræddes ikke.
22 And you all came to me, and said, Let us send men before us, and let them go up to the land for us; and let them bring back to us a report of the way by which we shall go up, and of the cities into which we shall enter.
Da kom I alle frem til mig og sagde: Lader os sende Mænd for vort Ansigt, som kunne udforske os Landet, og de skulle bringe os Svar om, ad hvilken Vej vi skulle drage op, og om de Stæder, som vi skulle komme til.
23 And the saying pleased me: and I took of you twelve men, one man of a tribe.
Og de Ord behagede mig, saa jeg tog tolv Mænd af eder, een Mand for hver Stamme.
24 And they turned and went up to the mountain, and they came as far as the valley of the cluster, and surveyed it.
Og de vendte sig og droge op paa Bjerget og kom til Eskols Bæk, og de bespejdede det.
25 And they took in their hands of the fruit of the land, and brought it to you, and said, The land is good which the Lord our God gives us.
Og de toge i deres Haand af Landets Frugt og førte ned til os, og de bragte os Svar og sagde: Det er et godt Land, som Herren vor Gud har givet os.
26 Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the words of the Lord our God.
Men I vilde ikke drage op, og I vare genstridige mod Herren eders Guds Mund.
27 And you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Og I knurrede i eders Telte og sagde: Fordi Herren hader os, har han udført os af Ægyptens Land, for at give os i Amoriternes Haand til at ødelægge os.
28 Whither do we go up? and your brethren drew away your heart, saying, [It is a] great nation and populous, and mightier than we; and [there are] cities great and walled up to heaven: moreover we saw there the sons of the giants.
Hvorhen skulle vi drage op? Vore Brødre have mistrøstet vort Hjerte og sagt: Det Folk er større og højere end vi, Stæderne ere store og befæstede op imod Himmelen, dertil med have vi ogsaa set Anakiternes Børn der.
29 And I said to you, Fear not, neither be you afraid of them;
Da sagde jeg til eder: Lader eder ikke forfærde og frygter ej for dem!
30 the Lord your God who goes before your face, he shall fight against them together with you effectually, according to all that he wrought for you in the land of Egypt;
Herren eders Gud, som gaar foran eders Ansigt, han skal stride for eder, ganske som han gjorde med eder i Ægypten for eders Øjne,
31 and in this wilderness which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite; how the Lord your God will bear you as a nursling, as if any man should nurse his child, through all the way which you have gone until you came to this place.
og i Ørken, som du har set, hvor Herren din Gud har baaret dig, ligesom en Mand bærer sin Søn; paa hele den Vej, som I have vandret, indtil I ere komne til dette Sted.
32 And in this matter you believed not the Lord our God,
Men uagtet dette Ord troede I ikke paa Herren eders Gud,
33 who goes before you in the way to choose you a place, guiding you in fire by night, showing you the way by which you go, and a cloud by day.
han, som gik for eders Ansigt paa Vejen at opsøge for eder Stedet, hvor I skulde lejre eder, i en Ild om Natten, for at vise eder Vejen, som I skulde gaa paa, og i en Sky om Dagen.
34 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and being greatly provoked he sware, saying,
Der Herren hørte eders Ords Røst, da blev han vred og svor og sagde:
35 Not one of these men shall see this good land, which I sware to their fathers,
Der skal ingen af disse Mænd, af denne onde Slægt, se det gode Land, som jeg svor at ville give eders Fædre,
36 except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, he shall see it; and to him I will give the land on which he went up, and to his sons, because he attended to the things of the Lord.
uden Kaleb, Jefunne Søn; han skal se det, og ham og hans Børn vil jeg give det Land, som han har traadt paa, fordi han har fuldkommeligen efterfulgt Herren.
37 And the Lord was angry with me for your sake, saying, Neither shall you by any means enter therein.
Herren blev endog vred paa mig for eders Skyld, og sagde: Du skal ikke heller komme derind.
38 Joshua the son of Naue, who stands by you, he shall enter in there; do you strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Josva, Nuns Søn, som staar for dit Ansigt, han skal komme derhen; styrk ham, thi han skal dele det til Arv iblandt Israel.
39 And every young child who this day knows not good or evil, —they shall enter therein, and to them I will give it, and they shall inherit it.
Og eders smaa Børn, om hvilke I sagde: De skulle blive til Rov, og eders Sønner, som ikke paa denne Dag forstaa godt eller ondt, de skulle komme derind, og jeg vil give dem det, og de skulle arve det.
40 And you turned and marched into the wilderness, in the way by the Red Sea.
Men I, vender eder og rejser til Ørken ad Vejen til det røde Hav.
41 And you answered and said, We have sinned before the Lord our God; we will go up and fight according to all that the Lord our God has commanded us: and having taken every one his weapons of war, and being gathered together, you went up to the mountain.
Da svarede I og sagde til mig: Vi have syndet imod Herren, vi ville drage op og stride, ganske som Herren vor Gud befalede os; og I bandt om eder, hver sine Krigsvaaben, og vare letsindige til at drage op paa Bjerget.
42 And the Lord said to me, Tell them, You shall not go up, neither shall you fight, for I am not with you; thus shall you not be destroyed before your enemies.
Da sagde Herren til mig: Sig dem, I skulle ikke drage op, og I skulle ikke stride, thi jeg er ikke midt iblandt eder; at I ikke skulle blive slagne for eders Fjenders Ansigt.
43 And I spoke to you, and you did not listen to me; and you transgressed the commandment of the Lord; and you forced your way and went up into the mountain.
Der jeg sagde eder det, da vilde I ikke høre mig; og I vare genstridige imod Herrens Mund, og formastede eder hovmodeligen og droge op paa Bjerget.
44 And the Amorite who lived in that mountain came out to meet you, and pursued you as bees do, and wounded you from Seir to Herma.
Da droge Amoriterne, som boede paa det samme Bjerg, ud imod eder, og de forfulgte eder, saaledes som Bier gøre, og de knusede eder i Seir, lige til Horma.
45 And you sat down and wept before the Lord our God, and the Lord listened not to your voice, neither did he take heed to you.
Der I kom tilbage og græd for Herrens Ansigt, da hørte Herren ikke paa eders Røst og bøjede ikke Øret til eder.
46 And you lived in Cades many days, as many days as you lived [there].
Saa bleve I i Kades mange Dage, al den Tid, I bleve der.
