Deuteronomy 32
1 “Give ear, O heavens, and I speak; And you hear, O earth, sayings of my mouth!
Lyt til, I Himle, lad mig tale, Jorden høre mine Ord!
2 My doctrine drops as rain; My sayings flow as dew; As storms on the tender grass, And as showers on the herb,
Lad dryppe som Regn min Lære, lad flyde som Dug mit Ord, som Regnskyl på unge Spirer, som Regnens Dråber på Græs.
3 For I proclaim the Name of YHWH; Ascribe greatness to our God!
Thi HERRENs Navn vil jeg forkynde, Ære skal I give vor Gud!
4 The Rock—His work [is] perfect, For all His ways [are] just; God of steadfastness, and without iniquity; Righteous and upright [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 It has done corruptly to Him; Their blemish is not of His sons, A generation perverse and crooked!
Skændselsmennesker sveg ham, en forvent og vanartet Slægt.
6 Do you act thus to YHWH, O people foolish and not wise? Is He not your Father—He who bought you? He made you, and establishes you.
Er det sådan, I lønner HERREN? Du tåbelige, uvise Folk! Er han ej din Fader og Skaber, den, som gjorde og danned dig?
7 Remember days of old—Understand the years of many generations—Ask your father, and he tells you; Your elderly, and they say to you:
Kom Fortidens Dage i Hu, agt på henfarne Slægters År; spørg din Fader, han skal berette, dine gamle, de skal fortælle dig!
8 In the Most High causing nations to inherit, In His separating sons of Adam—He sets up the borders of the peoples By the number of the sons of God [[or sons of Israel]].
Da den Højeste gav Folkene Eje, satte Skel mellem Menneskenes Børn, bestemte han Folkenes Grænser efter Tallet på Guds Sønner,
9 For YHWH’s portion [is] His people, Jacob [is] the line of His inheritance.
men HERRENs Del blev Jakob, Israel hans tilmålte Lod.
10 He finds him in a land—a desert, And in a void—a howling wilderness, He turns him around—He causes him to understand—He keeps him as the apple of His eye.
Han fandt det i Ørkenlandet, i Ødemarken, blandt Ørkenens Hyl; han værnede det med vågent Øje og vogtede det som sin Øjesten.
11 As an eagle wakes up its nest, Flutters over its young ones, Spreads its wings [and] takes them, Carries them on its pinions—
Som Ørnen, der purrer sin Yngel ud og svæver over sine Unger, løftede han det på sit Vingefang og bar det på sine Vinger.
12 YHWH alone leads him, And there is no strange god with him.
HERREN var dets eneste Fører, ingen fremmed Gud var hos ham.
13 He makes him ride on high places of earth, And he eats increase of the fields, And He makes him suck honey from a rock, And oil out of the flint of a rock;
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 the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, and rams of sons of Bashan, And male goats, with fat of kidneys of wheat; And of the blood of the grape you drink wine!
Surmælk fra Køer, Mælk fra Småkvæg, dertil Fedt af Lam og Vædre, af Tyre fra Basan og Bukke og Hvedens Fedme tillige, og Drueblod drak du, Vin.
15 And Yeshurun waxes fat, and kicks: You have been fat, you have been thick, You have been covered. And he leaves God who made him, And dishonors the Rock of his salvation.
Men da Jesjurun blev fed, slog han bagud, du blev fed, du blev tyk, du blev mæsket; da forskød han Gud, sin Skaber, lod hånt om sin Frelses Klippe.
16 They make Him zealous with strangers, They make Him angry with abominations.
De æggede ham med fremmede, med Vederstyggeligheder tirrede de ham;
17 They sacrifice to the demons, not God, To gods they have not known, New ones—they came from the vicinity; Your fathers have not feared them!
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 You forget the Rock that begot you, And neglect God who forms you.
Klippen, der avled dig, slog du af Tanke og glemte den Gud, der fødte dig!
19 And YHWH sees and despises—For the provocation of His sons and His daughters.
Da HERREN så det, forstødte han dem af Græmmelse over sine Børn
20 And He says: I hide My face from them, I see what their latter end [is]; For they [are] a contrary generation, Sons in whom is no steadfastness.
og sagde: "Jeg vil skjule mit Åsyn for dem og se, hvad Ende det tager med dem; thi de er en bundfalsk Slægt, Børn, som er uden Troskab;
21 They have made Me jealous by [what is] not God, They made Me angry by their vanities; And I make them jealous by [what is] not a people, I make them angry by 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 Dårer.
22 For a fire has been kindled in My anger, And it burns to the lowest [part] of Sheol, And consumes earth and its increase, And sets on fire [the] foundations of mountains. (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 heap calamities on them, I consume My arrows on them.
Jeg hober Ulykker over dem og opbruger mine Pile imod dem.
24 Exhausted by famine, And consumed by heat and bitter destruction—I also send the teeth of beasts on them, With poison of fearful things of the dust.
De udmagres af Sult og hentæres af Pestglød og giftig Sot; så sender jeg Vilddyrs Tænder og Slangers Gift imod dem.
25 The sword destroys from outside, And out of the inner-chambers—terror, Both youth and virgin, Suckling with man of grey hair.
Ude slår Sværdet Børnene ned og inde i Kamrene Rædselen både Yngling og Jomfru, diende Børn og grånende Mænd.
26 I have said: I blow them away, I cause their remembrance to cease from man;
Jeg satte mig for at blæse dem bort og slette deres Minde blandt Mennesker ud,
27 If I do not fear the anger of an enemy, Lest their adversaries know—Lest they say, Our hand is high, And YHWH has not worked all this.
men jeg frygtede, at Fjenden skulde volde mig Græmmelse, deres Avindsmænd tage fejl og tænke: Det var vor egen Hånd, der var stærk, ej HERREN, der gjorde alt dette.
28 For they [are] a nation lost to counsels, And there is no understanding in them.
Thi de er et rådvildt Folk, og i dem er der ikke Forstand.
29 If only they were wise, They would deal wisely [with] this, They would attend to their latter end!
Var de vise, forstod de det og indså, hvad der venter dem selv!
30 How does one pursue a thousand, And two cause a myriad to flee, If not that their Rock has sold them, And YHWH has shut them up?
Hvor skulde een kunne forfølge tusind, og to slå ti Tusind på Flugt, hvis ikke deres klippe havde solgt dem og HERREN givet dem til Pris!
31 For their rock [is] not as our Rock (And our enemies [are] judges!)
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 fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes [are] grapes of gall—They have bitter clusters;
Thi fra Sodoma stammer deres Vinstok og fra Gomorras Marker; deres Druer er giftige Druer, og beske er deres Klaser;
33 The poison of dragons [is] their wine And the fierce venom of cobras.
som Dragegift er deres Vin, som Øglers gruelige Edder.
34 Is it not laid up with Me? Sealed among My treasures?
Er ej dette forvaret hos mig, forseglet i mine Gemmer
35 Vengeance and retribution [are] Mine, At the due time—their foot slides; For near is a day of their calamity, And things prepared for them have hastened.
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 YHWH judges His people, And gives comfort over His servants. For He sees the going away of power, And none is restrained and left.
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 And He has said, Where [are] their gods—The rock in which they trusted?
Da spørger han: "Hvor er nu deres Gud, Klippen, på hvem de forlod, sig,
38 Who eat the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drink the wine of their drink-offering? Let them arise and help you, Let it be a hiding place for you!
som åd deres, Slagtofres Fedme og drak deres Drikofres Vin? Lad dem rejse sig og hjælpe eder, lad dem være eder et Skjul!
39 See, now, that I [am] He, And there is no god besides Me; I put to death and I keep alive; I have struck and I heal; And there is not a deliverer from My hand,
Erkend nu, at jeg, jeg er Gud uden anden Gud ved min Side. Jeg døder, jeg gør levende, jeg sårer, og jeg læger, "g ingen kan frelse fra min Hånd.
40 For I lift up My hand to the heavens, And have said, I live for all time!
Thi jeg løfter min Hånd mod Himlen og siger: Så sandt jeg lever evindelig,
41 If I have sharpened the brightness of My sword, And My hand lays hold on judgment, I return vengeance to My adversaries, And to those hating Me—I repay!
jeg hvæsser mit lynende Sværd, og min Hånd tager fat på Dommen, jeg hævner mig på mine Fjender, øver Gengæld mod mine Avindsmænd.
42 I make My arrows drunk with blood, And My sword devours flesh, From the blood of the pierced and captive, From the head of the leaders of the enemy.
Mine Pile gør jeg drukne af Blod, og mit Sværd skal svælge i Kød, i faldnes og fangnes Blod og fjendtlige Høvdingers Hoveder!"
43 Sing, O nations, [with] His people, For He avenges the blood of His servants, And He turns back vengeance on His adversaries, And has pardoned His land [and] His people.”
I Folkeslag, pris hans Folk, thi han hævner sine Tjeneres Blod; han hævner sig på sine Fjender, og skaffer sit Folks Land Soning!
44 And Moses comes and speaks all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea son of Nun;
Og Moses kom og fremsagde hele denne Sang for Folket, han og Josua, Nuns Søn.
45 and Moses finishes to speak all these words to all Israel,
Og da Moses var færdig med at fremsige alle disse Ord for hele Israel,
46 and says to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I am testifying against you today, that you command your sons to observe to do all the words of this law,
sagde han til dem: "Læg eder alle de Ord på Sinde, som jeg i Dag har vidnet imod eder, for at du kan pålægge dine Sønner dem, at de omhyggeligt må handle efter alle denne Lovs Bud;
47 for it [is] not a vain thing for you, for it [is] your life, and by this thing you prolong days on the ground to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess 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 få et langt Liv i det Land, som l skal ind og tage i Besiddelse efter at være gået over Jordan."
48 And YHWH speaks to Moses on this very same day, saying,
Selv samme Dag talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
49 “Go up to this Mount Abarim, Mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, which [is] on the front of Jericho, and see the land of Canaan which I am giving to the sons of Israel for a possession;
"Stig op på Abarimbjerget der, Nebobjerget i Moabs Land over for Jeriko, og se ud over Kana'ans Land, som jeg vil give Israelitterne i Eje!
50 and die on the mountain to where you are going up, and be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron has died on Mount Hor and is gathered to his people;
Og så skal du dø på det Bjerg, du bestiger, og samles til din Slægt, ligesom din Broder Aron døde på Bjerget Hor og samledes til sin Slægt,
51 because you trespassed against Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribath-Kadesh, the wilderness of Zin, because you did not sanctify Me in the midst of the sons of Israel.
fordi I handlede troløst imod mig iblandt Israelitterne ved Merihat Kadesjs Vand i Zins Ørken, fordi I ikke helligede mig iblandt Israelitterne.
52 Indeed, you see the land before [you], but you do not go in there to the land which I am giving to the sons 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 Israelitterne!
