Deuteronomy 28

1 “And it has been, if you listen diligently to the voice of your God YHWH, to observe to do all His commands which I am commanding you today, that your God YHWH has made you highest above all the nations of the earth,

Og det skal ske, om du flitteligen hører paa Herren din Guds Røst, saa at du tager Vare paa at gøre alle hans Bud, som jeg byder dig i Dag, da skal Herren din Gud sætte dig højt over alle Folk paa Jorden.

2 and all these blessings have come on you and overtaken you, because you listen to the voice of your God YHWH:

Og alle disse Velsignelser skulle komme over dig og vederfares dig, naar du hører paa Herren din Guds Røst:

3 Blessed [are] you in the city, and blessed [are] you in the field.

Velsignet skal du være i Staden, og velsignet skal du være paa Marken.

4 Blessed [is] the fruit of your womb, and the fruit of your ground, and the fruit of your livestock, the increase of your oxen, and the wealth of your flock.

Velsignet skal dit Livs Frugt være og dit Lands Frugt og dit Kvægs Frugt, dine Øksnes Affødning og dit smaa Kvægs Yngel.

5 Blessed [is] your basket and your kneading-trough.

Velsignet skal din Kurv være og dit Dejgtrug.

6 Blessed [are] you in your coming in, and blessed [are] you in your going out.

Velsignet skal du være, naar du gaar ind, og velsignet skal du være, naar du gaar ud.

7 YHWH makes your enemies, who are rising up against you, to be struck before your face; in one way they come out to you, and in seven ways they flee before you.

Herren skal give dine Fjender, som rejse sig imod dig, slagne for dit Ansigt; ad een Vej skulle de drage ud imod dig, og ad syv Veje skulle de fly for dit Ansigt.

8 YHWH commands the blessing with you in your storehouses, and in every putting forth of your hand, and has blessed you in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you.

Herren skal byde Velsignelsen at være hos dig i dine Lader og i alt det, som du udrækker din Haand til; og han skal velsigne dig i det Land, som Herren din Gud giver dig.

9 YHWH establishes you to Himself for a holy people, as He has sworn to you, when you keep the commands of your God YHWH and have walked in His ways;

Herren skal oprejse dig til et helligt Folk for sig, som han har tilsvoret dig, naar du holder Herren din Guds Bud og vandrer i hans Veje.

10 and all the peoples of the land have seen that the Name of YHWH is called by you, and they have been afraid of you.

Og alle Folk paa Jorden skulle se, at du er kaldet efter Herrens Navn, og de skulle frygte for dig.

11 And YHWH has made you abundant in good, in the fruit of the womb, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, on the ground which YHWH has sworn to your fathers to give to you.

Og Herren skal give Overflod, dig til Gode, af dit Livs Frugt og af dit Kvægs Frugt og af dit Lands Frugt i det Land, som Herren tilsvor dine Fædre at give dig.

12 YHWH opens his good treasure to you—the heavens—to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand, and you have lent to many nations, and you do not borrow.

Herren skal oplade for dig sit gode Forraadskammer, Himmelen, for at give dit Land Regn i sin Tid og at velsigne al din Haands Gerning, og du skal laane ud til mange Folk, og du skal ikke tage til Laans.

13 And YHWH has set you for head and not for tail; and you have been only above, and are not beneath, for you listen to the commands of your God YHWH, which I am commanding you today, to keep and to do,

Og Herren skal sætte dig til Hoved og ikke til Hale, og du skal kun gaa opad og ikke nedad, dersom du vil høre Herren din Guds Bud, hvilke jeg byder dig i Dag at holde og at gøre efter dem,

14 and you do not turn aside from all the words which I am commanding you today [to] the right or left, to go after other gods, to serve them.

og du ikke viger fra noget af disse Ord, som jeg byder eder i Dag, til højre eller venstre Side, ved at gaa efter andre Guder og tjene dem.

15 And it has been, if you do not listen to the voice of your God YHWH, to observe to do all His commands and His statutes which I am commanding you today, that all these revilings have come on you and overtaken you:

Og det skal ske, dersom du ikke hører Herren din Guds Røst om at holde og at gøre efter alle hans Bud og hans Skikke, som jeg byder dig i Dag, da skulle alle disse Forbandelser komme over dig og vederfares dig:

16 Cursed [are] you in the city, and cursed [are] you in the field.

Forbandet skal du være i Staden, og forbandet skal du være paa Marken.

17 Cursed [is] your basket and your kneading-trough.

Forbandet skal din Kurv være og dit Dejgtrug.

18 Cursed [is] the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your land, the increase of your oxen, and the wealth of your flock.

Forbandet skal dit Livs Frugt være og dit Lands Frugt, dine Øksnes Affødning og dit smaa Kvægs Yngel.

19 Cursed [are] you in your coming in, and cursed [are] you in your going out.

Forbandet skal du være, naar du gaar ind, og forbandet skal du være, naar du gaar ud.

20 YHWH sends the curse, the trouble, and the rebuke on you, in every putting forth of your hand which you do, until you are destroyed, and until you perish quickly, because of the evil of your doings [by] which you have forsaken Me.

Herren skal sende Forbandelsen, Forstyrrelsen og Tugtelsen over dig i alt det, du udrækker din Haand til, som du vil gøre, indtil du bliver ødelagt, og indtil du hastigen gaar til Grunde for dine Gerningers Ondskabs Skyld, fordi du forlod mig.

21 YHWH causes the pestilence to cleave to you until He consumes you from off the ground to where you are going in to possess it.

Herren skal lade Pest hænge ved dig, indtil han fuldkommen udsletter dig af Landet, som du drager hen til for at eje det.

22 YHWH strikes you with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with extreme burning, and with sword, and with blasting, and with mildew, and they have pursued you until you perish

Herren skal slaa dig med Svindsot og med Feber og med hidsig Sygdom og med Betændelse og med Sværd og med Brand og Rust i Kornet, og de skulle forfølge dig, indtil du omkommer.

23 And your heavens which [are] over your head have been bronze, and the earth which [is] under you iron;

Og din Himmel, som er over dit Hoved, skal være som Kobber, og Jorden, som er under dig, som Jern.

24 YHWH gives dust and ashes [for] the rain of your land; it comes down on you from the heavens until you are destroyed.

Herren skal gøre dit Lands Regn til Sand og Støv; af Himmelen skal det falde ned over dig, indtil du bliver ødelagt.

25 YHWH makes you struck before your enemies; in one way you go out to them, and in seven ways you flee before them, and you have been for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth;

Herren skal lade dig slaas for dine Fjenders Ansigt; ad een Vej skal du drage ud imod ham, og ad syv Veje skal du fly for hans Ansigt; og du skal være i Ustadighed iblandt alle Riger paa Jorden.

26 and your carcass has been for food for every bird of the heavens and for the beast of the earth, and there is none causing [them] to tremble.

Og din døde Krop skal blive alle Fugle under Himmelen og Dyr paa Jorden til Føde, og der skal ingen være, som skræmmer dem.

27 YHWH strikes you with the ulcer of Egypt, and with lumps, and with scurvy, and with itch, of which you are not able to be healed.

Herren skal slaa dig med ægyptiske Bylder og med Hævelser og med Skurv og med Udslet, for hvilke du ikke skal kunne læges.

28 YHWH strikes you with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart;

Herren skal slaa dig med Vanvid og med Blindhed og med Sindsforvirring.

29 and you have been groping at noon, as the blind gropes in darkness; and you do not cause your ways to prosper; and you have been only oppressed and plundered [for] all the days, and there is no savior.

Og du skal føle dig for om Middagen, ligesom den blinde føler sig for i Mørket, og du skal ingen Lykke have paa dine Veje, og du skal lide idel Vold og vorde til Rov alle Dage, og ingen skal frelse dig.

30 You betroth a woman, and another man lies with her; you build a house, and do not dwell in it; you plant a vineyard, and do not make it common;

Du skal trolove dig en Hustru, og en anden Mand skal ligge hos hende; du skal bygge et Hus, men du skal ikke bo derudi; du skal plante en Vingaard, men du skal ikke nyde Frugten af den.

31 your ox [is] slaughtered before your eyes, and you do not eat of it; your donkey [is] violently taken away from before you, and it is not given back to you; your sheep [are] given to your enemies, and there is no savior for you.

Din Okse skal slagtes for dine Øjne, og du skal ikke æde deraf; dit Asen skal røves for dit Ansigt og ikke komme tilbage til dig; dit smaa Kvæg skal gives dine Fjender, og du skal ingen have, som frelser dig.

32 Your sons and your daughters [are] given to another people, and your eyes are looking and consumed for them all the day, but your hand is not to God!

Dine Sønner og dine Døtre skulle gives til et andet Folk, og dine Øjne skulle se derpaa og hentæres over dem hver Dag; men der skal intet være i din Haands Magt.

33 A people whom you have not known eat the fruit of your ground and all your labor; and you have been only oppressed and bruised [for] all the days;

Dit Lands Frugt og alt, hvad du har arbejdet for, skal et Folk fortære, som du ikke kender, og du skal lide idel Vold og blive knust alle Dage.

34 and you have been mad because of the sight of your eyes which you see.

Og du skal blive rasende over det Syn, som dine Øjne skulle se.

35 YHWH strikes you with a severe ulcer on the knees and on the legs (of which you are not able to be healed), from the sole of your foot even to your crown.

Herren skal slaa dig med onde Bylder paa Knæerne og paa Laarene, saa at du ikke skal kunne læges fra din Fodsaale og til din Hovedisse.

36 YHWH causes you and your king whom you raise up over you to go to a nation which you have not known, you and your fathers, and you have served other gods there—wood and stone;

Herren skal føre dig og din Konge, som du skal sætte over dig, til et Folk, som hverken du, ej heller dine Fædre have kendt, og der skal du tjene andre Guder, Træ og Sten.

37 and you have been for an astonishment, for an allegory, and for a byword among all the peoples to where YHWH leads you.

Og du skal blive til en Skræk, til et Ordsprog og til Spot iblandt alle de Folk, til hvilke Herren skal føre dig hen.

38 You take much seed out into the field, and you gather little in, for the locust consumes it;

Du skal udføre megen Sæd paa Marken, men du skal samle lidet ind; thi Græshoppen skal opæde den.

39 you plant vineyards and have labored, but you do not drink wine, nor gather [grapes], for the worm consumes it;

Du skal plante og dyrke Vingaarde, men ikke drikke Vinen og ikke indsamle; thi Ormen skal fortære den.

40 olives are yours in all your border, but you do not pour out oil, for your olive falls off.

Du skal have Olietræer inden alle dine Landemærker, men ikke salve dig med Olien; thi dit Olietræ skal oprykkes.

41 You beget sons and daughters, but they are not with you, for they go into captivity;

Du skal avle Sønner og Døtre, men de skulle ikke blive hos dig; thi de skulle gaa i Fangenskab.

42 the locust possesses all your trees and the fruit of your ground;

Alle dine Træer og dit Lands Frugt skal Græshoppen eje.

43 the sojourner who [is] in your midst goes up very high above you, and you go down very low;

Den fremmede, som er midt iblandt dig, skal stige højere og højere op over dig; men du skal stige dybere og dybere ned.

44 he lends [to] you, and you do not lend [to] him; he is for head and you are for tail.

Han skal laane dig, og du skal ikke laane ham; han skal være Hoved og du skal være Hale.

45 And all these curses have come on you, and pursued you, and overtaken you, until you are destroyed, because you have not listened to the voice of your God YHWH, to keep His commands and His statutes which he has commanded you;

Saa skulle alle disse Forbandelser komme over dig og forfølge dig og ramme dig, indtil du bliver ødelagt, fordi du ikke hørte Herren din Guds Røst, saa at du holdt hans Bud og hans Skikke, som han havde budet dig.

46 and they have been on you for a sign and for a wonder, also on your seed—for all time.

Og de skulle være til et Tegn og til et Vidunder paa dig og paa din Sæd evindeligen,

47 Because that you have not served your God YHWH with joy and with gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things—

efterdi du ikke tjente Herren din Gud i Glæde og med Hjertens Lyst, fordi du havde alting i Overflod.

48 you have served your enemies, whom YHWH sends against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in lack of all things; and He has put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.

Og du skal tjene dine Fjender, som Herren skal udsende imod dig, i Hunger og i Tørst, i Nøgenhed og i alle Haande Mangel; og han skal lægge et Jernaag paa din Hals, indtil han ødelægger dig.

49 YHWH lifts up a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth—it flies as the eagle—a nation whose tongue you have not heard,

Herren skal føre et Folk op over dig langt fra, fra Jordens Ende, som Ørnen i Flugt, et Folk, hvis Tungemaal du ikke forstaar,

50 a nation of fierce countenance, which does not accept the face of the aged and does not favor the young;

et ublu Folk, som ikke skal agte den gamles Person og ej være den unge naadig.

51 and it has eaten the fruit of your livestock and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed; which does not leave to you grain, new wine, and oil, the increase of your oxen, and the wealth of your flock, until it has destroyed you.

Og det skal fortære dit Kvægs Frugt og dit Lands Frugt, indtil du bliver ødelagt, og det skal ikke efterlade dig Korn, ny Vin eller Olie, dine Øksnes Affødning eller dit smaa Kvægs Yngel, indtil det faar dig tilintetgjort.

52 And it has laid siege to you in all your gates until your walls come down—the high and the fortified ones in which you are trusting, in all your land; indeed, it has laid siege to you in all your gates, in all your land which your God YHWH has given to you.

Og det skal ængste dig inden alle dine Porte, indtil dine høje og befæstede Mure falde ned, som du forlader dig paa i hele dit Land; ja det skal ængste dig inden alle dine Porte i dit ganske Land, som Herren din Gud har givet dig.

53 And you have eaten the fruit of your body, [the] flesh of your sons and your daughters (whom your God YHWH has given to you), in the siege and in the constriction with which your enemies constrict you.

Og du skal æde dit Livs Frugt, Kødet af dine Sønner og af dine Døtre, som Herren din Gud har givet dig, i Belejring og i Trang, hvormed din Fjende skal trænge dig.

54 The man who is tender in you, and who [is] very delicate—his eye is evil against his brother, and against the wife of his bosom, and against the remnant of his sons whom he leaves,

Den Mand, som var blødagtig hos dig og saare kræsen, han skal ikke unde sin Broder eller Hustruen i sin Arm eller sine øvrige Sønner, som han har tilbage,

55 against giving to one of them of the flesh of his sons whom he eats, because he has nothing left for himself in the siege and in the constriction with which your enemy constricts you in all your gates.

at give en af dem af sine Sønners Kød, hvilket han æder, fordi intet er levnet ham i den Belejring og Trang, hvormed din Fjende skal trænge dig inden dine Porte.

56 The tender woman in you, and the delicate, who has not tried the sole of her foot to place on the ground because of delicateness and because of tenderness—her eye is evil against the husband of her bosom, and against her son, and against her daughter,

Hun, som har været saa blødagtig og kræsen hos dig, at hun ikke har forsøgt at sætte sin Fodsaale paa Jorden for Kræsenhed og Blødagtighed, skal ikke unde sin Mand i sin Arm eller sin Søn eller sin Datter

57 and against her seed which comes out from between her feet, even against her sons whom she bears, for she eats them in secret, in the lacking of everything, in the siege and in the constriction with which your enemy constricts you within your gates.

end ikke sit Efterbyrd, som er gaaet fra hende, eller sine Børn, som hun skal føde; thi hun skal æde dem i Skjul af Mangel paa alt, i Belejring og i Trang, hvormed din Fjende skal trænge dig inden dine Porte.

58 If you do not observe to do all the words of this law which are written in this scroll, to fear this honored and fearful Name—your God YHWH—

Dersom du ikke tager Vare paa at gøre efter alle denne Lovs Ord, som ere skrevne i denne Bog, saa at du frygter dette herlige og forfærdelige Navn, Herren din Gud:

59 then YHWH has made your strokes extraordinary, and the strokes [against] your seed [are] great strokes that are persisting and severe sicknesses that are persisting.

Da skal Herren vidunderligen sende Plager paa dig og Plager paa din Sæd, store og vedvarende Plager, og onde og vedvarende Sygdomme.

60 And He has brought back all the diseases of Egypt on you, from the presence of which you have been afraid, and they have cleaved to you.

Og han skal gentage alle de ægyptiske Sygdomme over dig, hvilke du gruer for, og de skulle hænge ved dig.

61 Also every sickness and every stroke which is not written in the scroll of this law—YHWH causes them to go up on you until you are destroyed,

Ja, al Sygdom og al Plage, som ikke er skreven i denne Lovs Bog, den skal Herren lade komme over dig, indtil du ødelægges.

62 and you have been left with few men, whereas that you would have been as stars of the heavens for multitude, for you have not listened to the voice of your God YHWH.

Og I skulle blive tilovers som en liden Hob, i det Sted, at I vare som Stjernerne paa Himmelen i Mangfoldighed, fordi du ikke hørte paa Herren din Guds Røst.

63 And it has been, as YHWH has rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you, so YHWH rejoices over you to destroy you and to lay you waste; and you have been pulled away from off the ground to where you are going in to possess it;

Og det skal ske, at ligesom Herren glædede sig over eder, ved at gøre vel imod eder og at formere eder, saaledes skal Herren glæde sig over eder, ved at fordærve eder og ødelægge eder; og I skulle udryddes af Landet, som du kommer hen til for at eje det.

64 and YHWH has scattered you among all the peoples, from the end of the earth even to the [other] end of the earth; and you have served other gods there which you have not known, you and your fathers—wood and stone.

Og Herren skal adsprede dig iblandt alle Folk fra den ene Ende af Jorden til den anden Ende af Jorden; og der skal du tjene andre Guder, som hverken du eller dine Fædre kendte, Træ og Sten.

65 And you do not rest among those nations, indeed, there is no resting place for the sole of your foot, and YHWH has given to you a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and grief of soul there;

Og du skal ingen Rolighed have iblandt disse Folk, og din Fodsaale skal ingen Hvile have; og Herren skal give dig der et bævende Hjerte og hentærede Øjne og en bedrøvet Sjæl.

66 and your life has been hanging in suspense before you, and you have been afraid by night and by day, and you do not have assurance in your life;

Og dit Liv skal hænge i et Haar for dig, og du skal ræddes Dag og Nat og ikke være sikker paa dit Liv.

67 in the morning you say, O that it were evening! And in the evening you say, O that it were morning! (From the fear of your heart, with which you are afraid, and from the sight of your eyes which you see.)

Om Morgenen skal du sige: Gid det var Aften! og om Aftenen skal du sige: Gid det var Morgen! for dit Hjertes Rædsel, som du skal ræddes med, og for det Syn, dine Øjne skulle se.

68 And YHWH has brought you back to Egypt in ships, by the way of which I said to you, You do not add to see it anymore; and you have sold yourselves to your enemies there, for menservants and for maidservants, and there is no buyer.”

Og Herren skal føre dig tilbage til Ægypten igen paa Skibe ad den Vej, om hvilken jeg sagde dig: Du skal ikke ydermere se den; og der skulle I sælge eder selv til dine Fjender som Trælle og som Trælkvinder, og der skal ingen være, som vil købe.
