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,

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 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 vil komme over dig og nå dig, dersom du adlyder 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 på 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 dit Livs, din Jords og dit Kvægs Frugt, både Tillægget af dine Okser og dit Småkvægs Yngel!

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

Velsignet din kurv og dit Dejtrug!

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

Velsignet skal du være, når du går ind, og velsignet skal du være, når du går 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.

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 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 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 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 gøre dig til sit hellige Folk, som han tilsvor dig, når du holder HERREN din Guds Bud og vandrer på 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 Jordens Folk skal se, at HERRENs Navn er nævnet over dig, og frygte 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.

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 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 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 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,

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 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.

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 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:

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

Forbandet skal du være i Staden, og forbandet skal du være på Marken!

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

Forbandet din Kurv 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 dit Livs og din Jords Frugt, Tillægget af dine Okser og dit Småkvægs Yngel!

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

Forbandet skal du være, når du går ind, og forbandet skal du være, når du går 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, 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 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 Pesten hænge ved dig, indtil den helt har udryddet dig fra det Land, du skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.

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

Himmelen over dit Hoved skal blive som Kobber, Jorden 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.

Regnen over dit Land skal HERREN forvandle til Sand og Støv, som falder ned over dig fra Himmelen, indtil du er 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 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 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.

Dine Lig skal blive Føde for alle Himmelens Fugle og Jordens vilde Dyr, og ingen skal skræmme dem bort.

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 slå dig med Ægyptens Svulster, med Bylder, Skab og Skurv, der ikke kan læges.

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

HERREN skal slå dig med Vanvid, Blindhed og Vildelse.

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.

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 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;

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 [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, 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 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 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 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;

Frugten af dit Land og af al din Møje skal fortæres af et Folk, du ikke kender; du skal kues og mishandles alle Dage;

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

du skal blive afsindig ved alt, hvad du må se på.

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 slå dig på knæ og Læg med onde Svulster, der ikke kan læges, ja fra Fodsål til Isse.

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;

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

Du skal blive til Rædsel, Spot og Spe for alle de Folk, HERREN fører dig hen til.

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

Udsæd i Mængde skal du bringe ud på Marken, men kun høste lidt, thi Græshopperne skal fortære den;

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

Vingårde skal du plante og dyrke, men Vin skal du ikke komme til at drikke eller oplagre, thi Ormene skal opæde Druen;

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

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

Sønner og Døtre skal du avle, men du skal ikke beholde dem, thi de skal gå i Fangenskab.

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

Alle dine Træer og dit Lands Afgrøde skal Insekterne bemægtige sig.

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

Den fremmede, som er hos dig, skal hæve sig op over dig, højere og højere, men du skal synke dybere og dybere.

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

De skal låne til dig, men du skal ikke låne til dem; de skal blive Hoved, og du skal blive 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;

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

de skal til evig Tid følge dig o: dit Afkom som Tegn og Undere.

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

Eftersom du ikke vilde tjene HERREN din Gud med Fryd og Hjertens Glæde, fordi du havde Overflod på alt,

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.

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

et Folk med hårde Ansigter, der ikke tager Hensyn til de gamle eller viser Skånsel mod de unge;

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.

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 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.

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 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 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 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,

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 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.

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 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,

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 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.

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 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—

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 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.

så skal HERREN sende uhørte Plager over dig og dit Afkom, svare og vedholdende Plager og ondartede, vedholdende 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 lade alle Ægyptens Sygdomme, som du gruer for, komme over dig, og de skal 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 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 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.

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 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 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 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.

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 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 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 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;

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 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: "Gid det var Morgen!" Sådan Angst skal du gribes af, og så forfærdeligt bliver det, dine Øjne får at 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 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!
