< Exodus 33 >

1 And the Lord said to Moses, Go forward, go up hence, you and your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, into the land which I swore to Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Gaa, drag op herfra, du og Folket, som du førte op af Ægyptens Land, til det Land, som jeg tilsvor Abraham, Isak og Jakob, — sigende: Din Sæd vil jeg give det,
2 And I will send at the same time my angel before your face, and he shall cast out the Amorite and the Chettite, and the Pherezite and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and Chananite.
og jeg vil sende en Engel foran dig, og uddrive Kananiter, Amoriter og Hethiter og Feresiter, Heviter og Jebusiter, —
3 And I will bring you into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up with you, because you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you by the way.
til et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning; men jeg vil ikke drage op med dig, thi du er et haardnakket Folk, at jeg ikke skal fortære dig paa Vejen.
4 And the people having heard this grievous saying, mourned in mourning apparel.
Der Folket hørte denne svare Tale, da sørgede de, og ingen satte sin Prydelse paa sig.
5 For the Lord said to the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people; take heed lest I bring on you another plague, and destroy you: now then put off your glorious apparel, and [your] ornaments, and I will show you what I will do to you.
Og Herren sagde til Mose: Sig til Israels Børn: I ere et haardnakket Folk; drog jeg et Øjeblik midt op iblandt dig, saa maatte jeg fortære dig; og læg nu din Prydelse af dig, at jeg kan vide, hvad jeg skal gøre ved dig.
6 So the sons of Israel took off their ornaments and their array at the mount of Choreb.
Saa aflagde Israels Børn deres Prydelse fra det Bjerg Horeb af.
7 And Moses took his tabernacle and pitched it without the camp, at a distance from the camp; and it was called the Tabernacle of Testimony: and it came to pass [that] every one that sought the Lord went forth to the tabernacle which was without the camp.
Men Mose tog Teltet og slog sig det ud udenfor Lejren, langt fra Lejren, og kaldte det Forsamlingens Telt; og det skete, at hver som vilde adspørge Herren, maatte gaa ud til Forsamlingens Telt, som var udenfor Lejren.
8 And whenever Moses went into the tabernacle without the camp, all the people stood every one watching by the doors of his tent; and when Moses departed, they took notice until he entered into the tabernacle.
Og det skete, naar Mose gik ud til Teltet, da rejste alt Folket sig, og de stode hver i sit Telts Dør, og de saa efter Mose, indtil han kom til Teltet.
9 And when Moses entered into the tabernacle, the pillar of the cloud descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and [God] talked to Moses.
Og det skete, naar Mose kom til Teltet, kom Skystøtten ned og stod i Teltets Dør, og han talte med Mose.
10 And all the people saw the pillar of the cloud standing by the door of the tabernacle, and all the people stood and worshipped every one at the door of his tent.
Og alt Folket saa Skystøtten staa i Teltets Dør, og alt Folket rejste sig, og de bøjede sig, hver i sit Telts Dør.
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as if one should speak to his friend; and he retired into the camp: but his servant Joshua the son of Naue, a young man, departed not forth from the tabernacle.
Men Herren talede til Mose, Ansigt til Ansigt, ligesom en Mand taler med sin Næste; og han vendte om til Lejren, men hans Tjener Josva, Nims Søn, den unge Karl, veg ikke fra Teltet.
12 And Moses said to the Lord, Behold! you say to me, Lead on this people; but you have not showed me whom you will send with me, but you have said to me, I know you above all, and you have favour with me.
Og Mose sagde til Herren: Se, du siger til mig: Før dette Folk op, og du har ikke ladet mig vide, hvem du vil sende med mig; enddog du har sagt: Jeg kender dig ved Navn, og du har ogsaa fundet Naade for mine Øjne.
13 If then I have found favour in your sight, reveal yourself to me, that I may evidently see you; that I may find favour in your sight, and that I may know that this great nation [is] your people.
Og nu, kære, dersom jeg har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, da vis mig, kære, dine Veje, at jeg kan kende dig, paa det jeg maa finde Naade for dine Øjne; og se, dette Folk er dit Folk.
14 And he says, I myself will go before you, and give you rest.
Og han sagde: Mit Ansigt skal gaa med, og jeg vil skaffe dig Hvile.
15 And he says to him, If you go not up with us yourself, bring me not up hence.
Men han sagde til ham: Dersom dit Ansigt ikke gaar med os, da lad os ikke drage op herfra.
16 And how shall it be surely known, that both I and this people have found favour with you, except only if you go with us? So both I and your people shall be glorified beyond all the nations, as many as are upon the earth.
Og hvorpaa skulde det dog kendes, at jeg har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, jeg og dit Folk? mon ikke derpaa, at du gaar med os? at vi, jeg og dit Folk, udmærkes frem for hvert Folk, som er paa Jorderiges Kreds.
17 And the Lord said to Moses, I will also do for you this thing, which you have spoken; for you have found grace before me, and I know you above all.
Da sagde Herren til Mose: Jeg vil ogsaa gøre dette Ord, som du har talet; thi du har fundet Naade for mine Øjne, og jeg kender dig ved Navn.
18 And [Moses] says, Manifest yourself to me.
Men han sagde: Kære, lad mig se din Herlighed!
19 And [God] said, I will pass by before you with my glory, and I will call by my name, the Lord, before you; and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and will have pity on whom I will have pity.
Og han sagde: Jeg vil lade al min Godhed drage forbi for dit Ansigt, og jeg vil ved Navn udraabe: Herren! for dit Ansigt; og jeg vil være den naadig, hvem jeg er naadig, og forbarme mig over den, hvem jeg forbarmer mig over.
20 And [God] said, You shall not be able to see my face; for no man shall see my face, and live.
Og han sagde: Du kan ikke se mit Ansigt; thi Mennesket kan ikke se mig og leve.
21 And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: you shall stand upon the rock;
Og Herren sagde: Se, her er et Sted hos mig, og du skal staa paa Klippen.
22 and when my glory shall pass by, then I will put you into a hole of the rock; and I will cover you over with my hand, until I shall have passed by.
Og det skal ske, naar min Herlighed gaar forbi, da vil jeg lade dig staa i Kløften paa Klippen, og jeg vil dække med min Haand over dig, indtil jeg er gaaet forbi.
23 And I will remove my hand, and then shall you see my back parts; but my face shall not appear to you.
Og naar jeg borttager min Haand, da skal du se mig bagfra; men mit Ansigt kan ikke ses.
