Deuteronomy 28
1 If you truly obey what the Lord your God tells you, and carefully follow all his commandments that I'm giving you today, then the Lord your God will place you high above all the nations of the earth.
Men dersom du adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst og handler efter alle hans Bud, som jeg i Dag pålægger dig, så vil HERREN din Gud sætte dig højt over alle Folk på Jorden;
2 You will have all the following blessings and even more, if you do what the Lord your God says.
og alle disse Velsignelser vil komme over dig og nå dig, dersom du adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst:
3 You will be blessed when you're in the town; you will be blessed when you're in the countryside.
Velsignet skal du være i Staden, og velsignet skal du være på Marken!
4 You will be blessed with many children. You will be blessed with good harvests. You will be blessed with livestock—your cattle will have many calves, and your sheep will have many lambs.
Velsignet dit Livs, din Jords og dit Kvægs Frugt, både Tillægget af dine Okser og dit Småkvægs Yngel!
5 You will be blessed with plenty of bread.
Velsignet din kurv og dit Dejtrug!
6 You will be blessed wherever you go and in everything you do.
Velsignet skal du være, når du går ind, og velsignet skal du være, når du går ud!
7 The Lord will defeat the enemies who come to attack you. They will come at you from one direction, but they will scatter seven different ways.
Når dine Fjender rejser sig imod dig, skal HERREN slå dem på Flugt foran dig; ad een Vej skal de drage ud imod dig, men ad syv skal de flygte for dig.
8 The Lord will bless your income and everything you do. The Lord your God will bless you in the country he is giving you.
HERREN skal byde sin Velsignelse være med dig i dine Lader og i alt, hvad du tager dig for, og velsigne dig i det Land, HERREN din Gud giver dig.
9 The Lord will make you his holy people, just as he promised you, if you obey the Lord your God's commandments and follow his ways.
HERREN skal gøre dig til sit hellige Folk, som han tilsvor dig, når du holder HERREN din Guds Bud og vandrer på hans Veje.
10 Then everyone on earth will see that the Lord has chosen you to be his, and they will be afraid of you.
Og alle Jordens Folk skal se, at HERRENs Navn er nævnet over dig, og frygte dig.
11 The Lord will make you very prosperous. You will have many children, your livestock will produce plenty of young, and your land will grow good harvests—all this in the country the Lord promised your forefathers he would give you.
HERREN skal give dig Geder i Overflod, Frugt af dit Moderliv, Frugt af dit kvæg og Frugt af din Jord i det Land, HERREN tilsvor dine Fædre at ville give dig.
12 The Lord will provide rain for your land at the right time from his heavenly storehouse to bless all your work growing crops. You will lend money to many nations but you won't need to borrow from any of them.
HERREN skal åbne dig sit rige Forrådskammer, Himmelen, for at give dit Land Regn i rette Tid og for at velsigne alt, hvad du tager dig for, og du skal låne ud til mange Folk, men selv skal du ikke låne.
13 The Lord will put you in first place, not the last. You will only go up, never down, as long as you listen to and follow carefully the commandments of the Lord your God that I'm giving you today.
HERREN skal gøre dig til Hoved og ikke til Hale, og det skal stadig gå opad for dig og ikke nedad, når du lytter til HERREN din Guds Bud, som jeg i Dag pålægger dig, og omhyggeligt handler efter dem
14 Don't deviate from any of my instructions today. Don't go and worship other gods.
uden at vige til højre eller venstre fra noget af de Bud, jeg i Dag pålægger eder, ved at holde dig til. andre Guder og dyrke dem.
15 But if you don't obey the Lord your God by following carefully all his commandments and regulations I'm giving you today, then you will experience all the following curses and more:
Men hvis du ikke adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst og omhyggeligt handler efter alle hans Bud og Anordninger, som jeg i Dag pålægger dig, så skal alle disse Forbandelser komme over dig og nå dig:
16 You will be cursed when you're in the town; you will be cursed when you're in the countryside.
Forbandet skal du være i Staden, og forbandet skal du være på Marken!
17 You will be cursed by not having bread.
Forbandet din Kurv og dit Dejgtrug!
18 You will be cursed by not having children, and by not having good harvests, and by your cattle not having calves, and your sheep not having lambs.
Forbandet dit Livs og din Jords Frugt, Tillægget af dine Okser og dit Småkvægs Yngel!
19 You will be cursed wherever you go and in everything you do.
Forbandet skal du være, når du går ind, og forbandet skal du være, når du går ud!
20 The Lord will send you curses, making you confused and frustrated in everything you do, until you are brought down and die quickly because of the evil that you've done by abandoning him.
HERREN skal sende Forbandelsen, Rædselen og Truselen over dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for, indtil du i en Hast bliver tilintetgjort og går til Grunde for dine onde Gerningers Skyld, fordi du forlod mig.
21 The Lord will give you infectious diseases until he has wiped you out from the country you are entering town.
HERREN skal lade Pesten hænge ved dig, indtil den helt har udryddet dig fra det Land, du skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.
22 Then Lord will hit you with sickness that makes you waste away, with a severe fever and swelling like you're burning up, while your crops are damaged by drought and blight and mildew. These will attack you until you die.
HERREN skal ramme dig med Svindsot, Feberglød, Betændelse og Hede, med Tørke, Kornbrand og Rust, og de skal forfølge dig, indtil du er gået til Grunde.
23 The sky above you will be like bronze, and the earth beneath you will be like iron.
Himmelen over dit Hoved skal blive som Kobber, Jorden under dig som Jern.
24 The Lord will change the rain of your land into dust and sand; it will fall from the sky on you until you're destroyed.
Regnen over dit Land skal HERREN forvandle til Sand og Støv, som falder ned over dig fra Himmelen, indtil du er ødelagt.
25 The Lord will have your enemies defeat you. You will attack them from one direction, but you will scatter seven different ways. Everyone on earth will be horrified at what happens to you.
HERREN skal slå dig foran dine Fjender; ad een Vej skal du drage ud imod dem, men ad syv skal du flygte for dem, og du skal blive en Skræmsel for alle Riger på Jorden.
26 Your dead bodies will be food for birds of prey and wild animals, and there won't be anyone to scare them away.
Dine Lig skal blive Føde for alle Himmelens Fugle og Jordens vilde Dyr, og ingen skal skræmme dem bort.
27 The Lord will give you boils like he did to the Egyptians, with swellings and scabs and skin rashes that can't be cured.
HERREN skal slå dig med Ægyptens Svulster, med Bylder, Skab og Skurv, der ikke kan læges.
28 The Lord will send you mad and make you blind and confused,
HERREN skal slå dig med Vanvid, Blindhed og Vildelse.
29 so that even at noon you will be groping around like a blind man in the dark. You won't be successful in what you do. You'll be persecuted and robbed the whole time, and no one will come and save you.
Ved højlys Dag skal du famle dig frem, som den blinde famler sig frem i Mørket; alt, hvad du tager dig for, skal mislykkes for dig, du skal kues og plyndres alle Dage, og ingen skal frelse dig.
30 You will be engaged to marry a woman, but another man will sleep with her. You will build a house but you won't live in it. You will plant a vineyard but won't benefit from any harvest.
Den Kvinde, du trolover dig med, skal en anden favne; det Hus, du bygger dig, skal du ikke komme til at bo i; den Vingård, du planter, skal du ikke plukke Druer i;
31 Your ox will be slaughtered right in front of you, but you won't eat any of it. Your donkey will be taken away and won't be returned to you. Your sheep will be taken by your enemies, and no one will come and save you.
din Okse skal slagtes for dine Øjne, men du skal ikke spise deraf; dit Æsel skal røves i dit Påsyn og ikke komme tilbage til dig; dit Småkvæg skal komme i Fjendevold, og ingen skal hjælpe dig;
32 Your sons and daughters will be taken away as slaves to other nations while you watch, and you'll wear your eyes out crying over them, but there won't be anything you can do about it.
dine Sønner og Døtre skal prisgives et fremmed Folk, og med egne Øjne skal du se det og vansmægte af Længsel efter dem Dagen lang, uden at du formår noget.
33 A foreign nation you've never heard of will eat all the crops you worked so hard to grow. You will be continually persecuted and downtrodden.
Frugten af dit Land og af al din Møje skal fortæres af et Folk, du ikke kender; du skal kues og mishandles alle Dage;

du skal blive afsindig ved alt, hvad du må se på.
35 The Lord will give you painful boils that can't be cured on your knees and thighs, in fact from head to toe.
HERREN skal slå dig på knæ og Læg med onde Svulster, der ikke kan læges, ja fra Fodsål til Isse.
36 The Lord will exile you and your chosen king you to a foreign nation that neither you nor your forefathers had ever heard of. There you will worship other gods, idols made of wood and stone.
Dig og din Konge, som du sætter over dig, skal HERREN føre til et Folk, som hverken du eller dine Fædre før kendte til, og der skal du dyrke fremmede Guder, Træ og Sten.
37 You will be something that horrifies all the nations where you've been exiled by the Lord. They will laugh at you and ridicule you.
Du skal blive til Rædsel, Spot og Spe for alle de Folk, HERREN fører dig hen til.
38 You will sow a lot of seed in the field, but harvest very little because the locusts will destroy it.

39 You will plant and vineyards and care for them, but you won't harvest the grapes or drink the wine, because they'll be eaten by maggots.
Vingårde skal du plante og dyrke, men Vin skal du ikke komme til at drikke eller oplagre, thi Ormene skal opæde Druen;
40 You will have olive trees all over the country but you won't have any olive oil to use, because the olives will drop early from the trees.
Oliventræer skal du have overalt i dit Land, men med Olie skal du ikke komme til at salve dig, thi dine Oliven skal falde. af.
41 You will have sons and daughters, but you won't have them for long, because they will be taken off into captivity as slaves.

42 Locust swarms will destroy all your trees and crops.
Alle dine Træer og dit Lands Afgrøde skal Insekterne bemægtige sig.
43 Foreigners who live with you will rise higher and higher in status above you, while you sink lower and lower.
Den fremmede, som er hos dig, skal hæve sig op over dig, højere og højere, men du skal synke dybere og dybere.
44 They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the first, and you will be the last.
De skal låne til dig, men du skal ikke låne til dem; de skal blive Hoved, og du skal blive Hale.
45 All these curses will come down on you. They will chase after you and attack you until you die because you did not obey the Lord your God and keep the commandments and regulations he gave you.
Alle disse Forbandelser skal komme over dig, forfølge dig og nå dig, til du er lagt øde, fordi du ikke adlød HERREN din Guds Røst, så du holdt hans Bud og Anordninger, som han pålagde dig;
46 They will be lasting evidence, visible signs of what happened to you and your descendants.
de skal til evig Tid følge dig o: dit Afkom som Tegn og Undere.
47 Because you did not serve the Lord your God with happiness and with a joyful attitude,
Eftersom du ikke vilde tjene HERREN din Gud med Fryd og Hjertens Glæde, fordi du havde Overflod på alt,
48 you will serve your enemies that the Lord sends to attack you with hunger, thirst, nakedness, and poverty. He will tie an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
skal du komme til at tjene dine Fjender, som HERREN vil sende imod dig, under Hunger og Tørst, Nøgenhed og Mangel på alt; han skal lægge Jernåg på din Nakke, indtil de har lagt dig øde.
49 The Lord will bring a nation to attack you from a long way off, from the ends of the earth. They will swoop down upon you like an eagle, this nation whose language you won't understand.
HERREN skal opbyde imod dig et Folk fra det fjerne, fra Jordens yderste Ende, et Folk med Ørnens Flugt, et Folk, hvis Sprog dut ikke forstår,
50 They are a ruthless nation who don't respect for the old and have no mercy on the young.
et Folk med hårde Ansigter, der ikke tager Hensyn til de gamle eller viser Skånsel mod de unge;
51 They will eat your lambs and calves and the crops you've grown until you are destroyed. They won't leave you any grain or new wine or olive oil, no calves from your herds or lambs from your flocks, so you'll die of starvation.
det skal opæde dit Kvægs og din Jords Frugt, indtil du er lagt øde; det skal ikke levne dig Korn, Most eller Olie, tillæg af dine Okser eller Yngel af dit Småkvæg, indtil det har tilintetgjort dig;
52 They will besiege all the towns in your country, until the high, fortified walls that you trust in have fallen. They will besiege all your towns in your country that the Lord your God has given you.
det skal belejre dig i alle dine Byer, indtil dine høje, stærke Mure, som du stoler på, er styrtet sammen overalt i dit Land; det skal besejre dig overalt inden dine Porte overalt i dit Land, som HERREN din Gud giver dig.
53 You'll end up eating your children, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God gave you, because of the siege and the suffering that your enemy will cause you.
Og du skal fortære din Livsfrugt, Kødet af dine Sønner og Døtre, som HERREN din Gud giver dig, under den Trængsel og Nød, din Fjende bringer over dig;
54 The kindest and most sensitive man among you will refuse to share his food with his brother, the wife he loves, and those of his own children who are left.
selv den mest forvænte og blødagtige af dine Mænd skal se skævt til sin Broder, til sin Hustru, der hviler i hans Favn, og til de sidste Sønner, han har tilbage,
55 He will refuse to share with any of them the flesh of his children that he's forced to eat because he doesn't have anything else because of the siege and suffering your enemy has caused you in all your towns.
så han ikke under en eneste af dem Kødet af sine Børn, som han fortærer, fordi der ikke er levnet ham noget under den Trængsel og Nød, din Fjende bringer over dig overalt inden dine Porte.
56 The kindest and most sensitive woman among you, so kind and sensitive she wouldn't ever go barefoot on the ground, will refuse to share her food, a baby and its afterbirth, with the husband she loves and her own son and daughter.
Og den mest forvænte og blødagtige af dine Kvinder, som aldrig har prøvet at træde med sin Fod på jorden for Blødagtighed og Forvænthed, skal se skævt til sin Mand, der hviler i hendes Favn, og til sin Søn og Datter,
57 She will even secretly eat her the babies she gives birth to and the afterbirth, since she doesn't have anything else because of the siege and suffering your enemy has caused you in all your towns,
så hun ikke under dem Efterbyrden, der går fra hende, eller de Børn, hun føder; men i Mangel på alt fortærer hun dem selv i Løndom under den Trængsel og Nød, din Fjende bringer over dig inden dine Porte!
58 If you don't carefully observe all these laws written down in this book so that you may show respect for this glorious and awesome Lord your God,
Hvis du ikke omhyggeligt handler efter alle denne Lovs Ord, som står skrevet i denne Bog, og frygter dette herlige og forfærdelige Navn, HERREN din Gud,
59 he will bring down on you and your descendants unbelievable disasters, intense and long-lasting diseases, and terrible and incurable sicknesses.
så skal HERREN sende uhørte Plager over dig og dit Afkom, svare og vedholdende Plager og ondartede, vedholdende Sygdomme,
60 He will give you all the diseases you were terrified of in Egypt, and they will stay with you.
og lade alle Ægyptens Sygdomme, som du gruer for, komme over dig, og de skal hænge ved dig;
61 The Lord will also give you every sickness and disease, even those not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.
ja endog alle mulige Sygdomme og Plager, som der ikke er skrevet om i denne Lovbog, skal HERREN lade komme over dig, til du er lagt øde.
62 You who grew as numerous as the stars in the sky will end up as only a few, because you would not obey what Lord your God told you.
Medens I før var talrige som Himmelens Stjerner, skal der kun blive nogle få Mænd tilbage af eder, fordi du ikke adlød HERREN din Guds Røst.
63 In the same way as he wanted to make you prosperous and increase in number, so now he will wipe you out and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the country you are going in to own.
Og ligesom HERREN før havde sin Glæde af at gøre vel imod eder og gøre eder mangfoldige, således skal HERREN da have sin Glæde af at tilintetgøre eder og lægge eder øde, og t skal drives bort fra det Land, du nu skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.
64 The Lord will scatter you among the nations all over the earth, and there you will worship other gods, gods made of wood and stone, which you and your fathers had never heard of.
HERREN skal adsplitte dig blandt alle Folkeslagene fra den ene Ende af Jorden til den anden, og der skal du dyrke fremmede Guder, som hverken du eller dine Fædre før kendte til, Træ og Sten;
65 You won't find any place to rest among those nations, no place of your own. The Lord will make you anxious, with failing eyesight and a mind full of despair.
og blandt disse Folk skal du ikke få Ro eller finde Hvile for din Fod; thi der skal HERREN give dig et skælvende Hjerte, udtærede Øjne og en vansdsmægtende Sjæl.
66 You will see your life hanging in the balance as you doubt. You will be afraid day and night, terrified you won't survive.
Det skal syne, s dig, som hang dit Liv i en Tråd; du skal ængstes ved Dag og ved Nat og aldrig føle dig sikker på dit Liv.
67 In the morning you'll say, “I wish it was evening!” and in the evening you'll say, “I wish it was morning!” because you're so frightened by the terrifying things you see.
Om Morgenen skal du sige: "Gid det var Aften!" Og om Aftenen: "Gid det var Morgen!" Sådan Angst skal du gribes af, og så forfærdeligt bliver det, dine Øjne får at se.
68 The Lord will send you back to Egypt in ships to a place that I said you weren't ever meant to see again. You will put yourselves on sale there to your enemies as male and female slaves, but nobody will want to buy you.
Og HERREN skal føre dig tilbage til Ægypten på Skibe, ad den Vej, som jeg lovede dig, du aldrig mere skulde få at se; og der skal I stille eder til Salg for eders Fjender som Trælle og Trælkvinder, men der skal ingen være, som vil købe eder!
