Deuteronomy 32
1 Hearken, ye heauens, and I will speake: and let the earth heare the words of my mouth.
Lyt til, I Himle, lad mig tale, Jorden høre mine Ord!
2 My doctrine shall drop as the raine, and my speach shall stil as the dew, as the showre vpon the herbes, and as the great raine vpon the grasse.
Lad dryppe som Regn min Lære, lad flyde som Dug mit Ord, som Regnskyl paa unge Spirer, som Regnens Draaber paa Græs.
3 For I will publish the name of the Lord: giue ye glorie vnto our God.
Thi HERRENS Navn vil jeg forkynde, Ære skal I give vor Gud!
4 Perfect is the worke of the mighty God: for all his wayes are iudgement. God is true, and without wickednesse: iust, and righteous is he.
Han er Klippen, fuldkomment hans Værk, thi alle hans Veje er Retfærd! En trofast Gud, uden Svig, retfærdig og sanddru er Han.
5 They haue corrupted them selues towarde him by their vice, not being his children, but a frowarde and crooked generation.
Skændselsmennesker sveg ham, en forvendt og vanartet Slægt.
6 Doe ye so rewarde the Lord, O foolish people and vnwise? is not he thy father, that hath bought thee? he hath made thee, and proportioned thee.
Er det saadan, I lønner HERREN? Du taabelige, uvise Folk! Er han ej din Fader og Skaber, den, som gjorde og danned dig?
7 Remember the dayes of olde: consider the yeeres of so many generations: aske thy father, and he will shewe thee: thine Elders, and they will tell thee.
Kom Fortidens Dage i Hu, agt paa henfarne Slægters Aar; spørg din Fader, han skal berette, dine gamle, de skal fortælle dig!
8 When the most hie God deuided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sonnes of Adam, he appoynted the borders of the people, according to the nomber of the children of Israel.
Da den Højeste gav Folkene Eje, satte Skel mellem Menneskenes Børn, bestemte han Folkenes Grænser efter Tallet paa Guds Sønner,
9 For the Lordes portion is his people: Iaakob is the lot of his inheritance.
men HERRENS Del blev Jakob, Israel hans tilmaalte Lod.
10 He found him in ye land of ye wildernes, in a waste, and roaring wildernes: he led him about, he taught him, and kept him as ye apple of his eye.
Han fandt det i Ørkenlandet, i Ødemarken, blandt Ørkenens Hyl; han værnede det med vaagent Øje og vogtede det som sin Øjesten.
11 As an eagle stereth vp her nest, flootereth ouer her birdes, stretcheth out her wings, taketh them, and beareth them on her wings,
Som Ørnen, der purrer sin Yngel ud og svæver over sine Unger, løftede han det paa sit Vingefang og bar det paa sine Vinger.
12 So the Lord alone led him, and there was no strange god with him.
HERREN var dets eneste Fører, ingen fremmed Gud var hos ham.
13 He caryed him vp to the hie places of the earth, that he might eate the fruites of the fieldes, and he caused him to sucke hony out of the stone, and oyle out of the hard rocke:
Han lod det færdes over Landets Høje, nærede det med Markens Frugter, lod det suge Honning af Klippen og Olie af Bjergets Flint,
14 Butter of kine, and milke of sheepe with fat of the lambes, and rammes fed in Bashan, and goates, with the fat of the graines of wheat, and the red licour of the grape hast thou drunke.
Surmælk fra Køer, Mælk fra Smaakvæg, dertil Fedt af Lam og Vædre, af Tyre fra Basan og Bukke og Hvedens Fedme tillige, og Drueblod drak du, Vin.
15 But he that should haue bene vpright, when he waxed fat, spurned with his heele: thou art fat, thou art grosse, thou art laden with fatnes: therefore he forsooke God that made him, and regarded not the strong God of his saluation.
Men da Jesjurun blev fed, slog han bagud, du blev fed, du blev tyk, du blev mæsket; da forskød han Gud, sin Skaber, lod haant om sin Frelses Klippe.
16 They prouoked him with strange gods: they prouoked him to anger with abominations.
De æggede ham med fremmede, med Vederstyggeligheder tirrede de ham;
17 They offred vnto deuils, not to God, but to gods whome they knew not: new gods that came newly vp, whome their fathers feared not.
de ofred til Dæmoner, der ej er Guder, til Guder, de ej før kendte til; til nye, der nys var kommet frem, og som ej eders Fædre frygtede.
18 Thou hast forgotten the mightie God that begate thee, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
Klippen, der avled dig, slog du af Tanke og glemte den Gud, der fødte dig!
19 The Lord then sawe it, and was angrie, for the prouocation of his sonnes and of his daughters.
Da HERREN saa det, forstødte han dem af Græmmelse over sine Børn
20 And he said, I will hide my face from the: I will see what their ende shalbe: for they are a frowarde generation, children in who is no faith.
og sagde: »Jeg vil skjule mit Aasyn for dem og se, hvad Ende det tager med dem; thi de er en bundfalsk Slægt, Børn, som er uden Troskab;
21 They haue moued me to ielousie with that which is not God: they haue prouoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will moue them to ielousie with those which are no people: I wil prouoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
de ægged mig med det, der ikke er Gud, tirrede mig ved deres tomme Gøgl: Jeg vil ægge dem med det, der ikke er et Folk, tirre dem ved et Folk af Daarer.
22 For fire is kindled in my wrath, and shall burne vnto the bottome of hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountaines. (Sheol h7585)
Thi der flammer en Ild i min Vrede, som brænder til Dødsrigets Dyb; den fortærer Jorden med dens Grøde og antænder Bjergenes Grunde. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will spend plagues vpon them: I will bestowe mine arrowes vpon them.
Jeg hober Ulykker over dem og opbruger mine Pile imod dem.
24 They shalbe burnt with hunger, and consumed with heate, and with bitter destruction: I will also sende the teeth of beastes vpon them, with the venime of serpents creeping in the dust.
De udmagres af Sult og hentæres af Pestglød og giftig Sot; saa sender jeg Vilddyrs Tænder og Slangers Gift imod dem.
25 The sworde shall kill them without, and in the chambers feare: both the yong man and the yong woman, the suckeling with the man of gray heare.
Ude slaar Sværdet Børnene ned og inde i Kamrene Rædselen baade Yngling og Jomfru, diende Børn og graanende Mænd.
26 I haue said, I would scatter them abroade: I would make their remembrance to cease from among men,
Jeg satte mig for at blæse dem bort og slette deres Minde blandt Mennesker ud,
27 Saue that I feared the furie of the enemie, least their aduersaries should waxe proude, and least they should say, Our hie hande and not the Lord hath done all this:
men jeg frygtede, at Fjenden skulde volde mig Græmmelse, deres Avindsmænd tage fejl og tænke: Det var vor egen Haand, der var stærk, ej HERREN, der gjorde alt dette.
28 For they are a nation voide of counsel, neither is there any vnderstanding in them.
Thi de er et raadvildt Folk, og i dem er der ikke Forstand.
29 Oh that they were wise, then they would vnderstand this: they would consider their latter ende.
Var de vise, forstod de det og indsaa, hvad der venter dem selv!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousande to flight, except their strong God had sold the, and the Lord had shut them vp?
Hvor skulde een kunne forfølge tusind, og to slaa ti Tusind paa Flugt, hvis ikke deres Klippe havde solgt dem og HERREN givet dem til Pris!
31 For their god is not as our God, euen our enemies being iudges.
Thi deres Klippe er ikke som vor, det ved vore Fjender bedst selv!
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the vines of Gomorah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters be bitter.
Thi fra Sodoma stammer deres Vinstok og fra Gomorras Marker; deres Druer er giftige Druer, og beske er deres Klaser;
33 Their wine is the poyson of dragons, and the cruel gall of aspes.
som Dragegift er deres Vin, som Øglers gruelige Edder.
34 Is not this laide in store with me, and sealed vp among my treasures?
Er ej dette forvaret hos mig, forseglet i mine Gemmer
35 Vengeance and recompence are mine: their foote shall slide in due time: for the day of their destruction is at hand, and the things that shall come vpon them, make haste.
til Hævnens og Regnskabets Dag, den Stund, deres Fod skal vakle? Thi deres Undergangs Dag stunder til; hvad der venter dem, kommer i Hast.«
36 For the Lord shall iudge his people, and repent towarde his seruants, when hee seeth that their power is gone, and none shut vp in holde nor left abroad.
Thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og forbarmer sig over sine Tjenere, thi han ser, deres Kraft er brudt, det er ude med hver og en.
37 When men shall say, Where are their gods, their mighty God in whome they trusted,
Da spørger han: »Hvor er nu deres Gud, Klippen, paa hvem de forlod sig,
38 Which did eate the fat of their sacrifices, and did drinke the wine of their drinke offring? let them rise vp, and help you: let him be your refuge.
som aad deres Slagtofres Fedme og drak deres Drikofres Vin? Lad dem rejse sig og hjælpe eder, lad dem være eder et Skjul!
39 Behold now, for I, I am he, and there is no gods with me: I kill, and giue life: I wound, and I make whole: neither is there any that can deliuer out of mine hand.
Erkend nu, at jeg, jeg er Gud uden anden Gud ved min Side. Jeg døder, jeg gør levende, jeg saarer, og jeg læger, og ingen kan frelse fra min Haand.
40 For I lift vp mine hand to heauen, and say, I liue for euer.
Thi jeg løfter min Haand mod Himlen og siger: Saa sandt jeg lever evindelig,
41 If I whet my glittering sworde, and mine hand take holde on iudgement, I will execute vengeance on mine enemies, and will rewarde them that hate me.
jeg hvæsser mit lynende Sværd, og min Haand tager fat paa Dommen, jeg hævner mig paa mine Fjender, øver Gengæld mod mine Avindsmænd.
42 I will make mine arrowes drunke with blood, (and my sword shall eate flesh) for the blood of the slaine, and of the captiues, when I beginne to take vengeance of the enemie.
Mine Pile gør jeg drukne af Blod, og mit Sværd skal svælge i Kød, i faldnes og fangnes Blod og fjendtlige Høvdingers Hoveder!«
43 Ye nations, praise his people: for he will auenge the blood of his seruants, and will execute vengeance vpon his aduersaries, and will bee mercifull vnto his lande, and to his people.
I Folkeslag, pris hans Folk, thi han hævner sine Tjeneres Blod; han hævner sig paa sine Fjender, og skaffer sit Folks Land Soning!
44 Then Moses came and spake all ye words of this song in the audience of the people, he and Hoshea the sonne of Nun.
Og Moses kom og fremsagde hele denne Sang for Folket, han og Josua, Nuns Søn.
45 When Moses had made an end of speaking all these wordes to all Israel,
Og da Moses var færdig med at fremsige alle disse Ord for hele Israel,
46 Then hee said vnto them, Set your heartes vnto all the wordes which I testifie against you this day, that ye may commande them vnto your children, that they may obserue and doo all the wordes of this Lawe.
sagde han til dem: »Læg eder alle de Ord paa Sinde, som jeg i Dag har vidnet imod eder, for at du kan paalægge dine Sønner dem, at de omhyggeligt maa handle efter alle denne Lovs Bud;
47 For it is no vaine worde concerning you, but it is your life, and by this worde ye shall prolong your dayes in the land, whither yee go ouer Iorden to possesse it.
thi det er ikke tomme Ord uden Betydning for eder, men af dem afhænger eders Liv, og ved at følge det Ord skal I faa et langt Liv i det Land, som I skal ind og tage i Besiddelse efter at være gaaet over Jordan.«
48 And the Lord spake vnto Moses the selfe same day, saying,
Selv samme Dag talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
49 Goe vp into the mountaine of Abarim, vnto the mount Nebo, which is in the lande of Moab, that is ouer against Iericho: and beholde the lande of Canaan, which I giue vnto the children of Israel for a possession,
»Stig op paa Abarimbjerget der, Nebobjerget i Moabs Land over for Jeriko, og se ud over Kana'ans Land, som jeg vil give Israeliterne i Eje!
50 And die in the mount which thou goest vp vnto, and thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered vnto his people,
Og saa skal du dø paa det Bjerg, du bestiger, og samles til din Slægt, ligesom din Broder Aron døde paa Bjerget Hor og samledes til sin Slægt,
51 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel, at the waters of Meribah, at Kadesh in the wildernesse of Zin: for ye sanctified me not among the children of Israel.
fordi I handlede troløst imod mig iblandt Israeliterne ved Meribat-Kadesj's Vand i Zins Ørken, fordi I ikke helligede mig iblandt Israeliterne.
52 Thou shalt therefore see the lande before thee, but shalt not go thither, I meane, into the land which I giue the children of Israel.
Thi her ovre fra skal du se ud over Landet, men du skal ikke komme derind, ind i det Land, jeg vil give Israeliterne!«
