Psalms 105
1 O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.
Pris Herren, påkald hans navn, gør hans Gerninger kendte blandt Folkeslag!
2 Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.
Syng og spil til hans Pris, tal om alle hans Undere;
3 Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
ros jer af hans hellige Navn, eders Hjerte glæde sig, I, som søger HERREN;
4 Seek ye the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.
spørg efter HERREN og hans magt, søg bestandig hans Åsyn;
5 Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;
kom i Hu de Undere, han gjorde, hans Tegn og hans Munds Domme,
6 O ye seed of Abraham His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
I, hans Tjener Abrahams Sæd, hans udvalgte, Jakobs Sønner!
7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
Han, HERREN, er vor Gud, hans Domme når ud over Jorden;
8 He hath remembered His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;
han ihukommer for evigt sin Pagt, i tusind Slægter sit Tilsagn,
9 The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;
Pagten, han slutted med Abraham, Eden, han tilsvor Isak;
10 And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
han holdt den i Hævd som Ret for Jakob, en evig Pagt for Israel,
11 Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.'
idet han sagde: "Dig giver jeg Kana'ans Land som eders Arvelod."
12 When they were but a few men in number. Yea, very few, and sojourners in it,
Da de kun var en liden Hob, kun få og fremmede der,
13 And when they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
og vandrede fra Folk til Folk, fra et Rige til et andet,
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:
tillod han ingen at volde dem Men, men tugted for deres Skyld Konger
15 'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'
"Rør ikke mine Salvede, gør ikke mine Profeter ondt!"
16 And He called a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
Hungersnød kaldte han frem over Landet, hver Brødets Støttestav brød han;
17 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant;
han sendte forud for dem en Mand, Josef solgtes som Træl;
18 His feet they hurt with fetters, his person was laid in iron;
de tvang hans Fødder med Lænker, han kom i Lænker af Jern,
19 Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him.
indtil hans Ord blev opfyldt; ved HERRENs Ord stod han Prøven igennem.
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the peoples, and set him free.
På Kongens Bud blev han fri, Folkenes Hersker lod ham løs:
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions;
han tog ham til Herre for sit Hus, til Hersker over alt sit Gods;
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.
han styred hans Øverster efter sin Vilje og viste hans Ældste til Rette.
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
Og Israel kom til Ægypten, Jakob boede som Gæst i Kamiternes Land.
24 And He increased His people greatly, and made them too mighty for their adversaries.
Han lod sit Folk blive såre frugtbart og stærkere end dets Fjender;
25 He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.
han vendte deres Sind til Had mod sit Folk og til Træskhed imod sine Tjenere.
26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen.
Da sendte han Moses, sin Tjener, og Aron, sin udvalgte Mand;
27 They wrought among them His manifold signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.
han gjorde sine Tegn i Ægypten og Undere i Kamiternes Land;
28 He sent darkness, and it was dark; and they rebelled not against His word.
han sendte Mørke, så blev det mørkt, men de ænsede ikke hans Ord;
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
han gjorde deres Vande til Blod og slog deres Fisk ihjel;
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings.
af Frøer vrimlede Landet, selv i Kongens Sale var de;
31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats in all their borders.
han talede, så kom der Bremser og Myg i alt deres Land;
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
han sendte dem Hagl for Regn og luende Ild i Landet;
33 He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders.
han slog både Vinstok og Figen og splintrede Træerne i deres Land;
34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the canker-worm without number,
han talede, så kom der Græshopper, Springere uden Tal,
35 And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground.
de åd alt Græs i Landet, de åd deres Jords Afgrøde;
36 He smote also all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their strength.
alt førstefødt i Landet slog han, Førstegrøden af al deres Kraft;
37 And He brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was none that stumbled among His tribes.
han førte dem ud med Sølv og Guld, ikke een i hans Stammer snubled
38 Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
Ægypterne glæded sig, da de drog bort, thi de var grebet af Rædsel for dem.
39 He spread a cloud for a screen; and fire to give light in the night.
Han bredte en Sky som Skjul og Ild til at lyse i Natten;
40 They asked, and He brought quails, and gave them in plenty the bread of heaven.
de krævede, han bragte Vagtler, med Himmelbrød mættede han dem;
41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran, a river in the dry places.
han åbnede Klippen, og Vand strømmede ud, det løb som en Flod i Ørkenen.
42 For He remembered His holy word unto Abraham His servant;
Thi han kom sit hellige Ord i Hu til Abraham, sin Tjener;
43 And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.
han lod sit Folk drage ud med Fryd, sine udvalgte under Jubel;
44 And He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took the labour of the peoples in possession;
han gav dem Folkenes Lande, de fik Folkeslags Gods i Eje.
45 That they might keep His statutes, and observe His laws. Hallelujah.
Derfor skulde de holde hans Bud og efterkomme hans Love. Halleluja!
