Deuteronomy 33
1 And this [is] the blessing [with] which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death,
Dette er den Velsignelse, hvormed den Guds Mand Moses velsignede Israel før sin Død
2 and he says: “YHWH has come from Sinai, And has risen from Seir for them; He has shone from Mount Paran, And has come [with] myriads of holy ones; At His right hand [came] a fiery law [[or a flaming fire]] for them.
Han sagde: HERREN kom fra Sinaj, fra Seir fremstråled han for dem, brød frem i Lysglans fra Parans Bjerge og kom fra Meribat Kadesj. Ved hans højre lued Ild dem i Møde.
3 Indeed, He [is] loving the peoples; All His holy ones [are] in Your hand, And they sat down at Your foot, [Each] lifts up Your words.
Visselig, han elsker sit Folk, alle hans hellige er i hans Hænder; og de sætter sig ved din Fod og tager mod Ord fra dig.
4 Moses has commanded a law for us, A possession of the assembly of Jacob.
En Lov har Moses pålagt os. Hans Eje er Jakobs Forsamling,
5 And He is King in Yeshurun, In the heads of the people gathering together, The tribes of Israel!
og han blev Konge i Jesjurun, da Folkets Høvdinger kom sammen, og Israels Stammer forsamled sig.
6 Let Reuben live, and not die, And let his men be an [incalculable] number.
Måtte Ruben leve og ikke dø, hans Mænd blive dog et Tal!
7 And this [is] for Judah, and he says: Hear, O YHWH, the voice of Judah, And You bring him in to his people; His hand has striven for him, And You are a help from his adversaries.
Og disse Ord sagde han om Juda: Hør, HERRE, Judas Råb og lad ham komme til sit Folk! Strid for ham med dine Hænder, vær ham en Hjælp mod hans Fjender!
8 And of Levi he said: Your Perfections and your Lights [are] for your pious one, Whom You have tried in Massah, You strive with him at the waters of Meribah;
Om Levi sagde han: Giv Levi dine Tummim, din Yndling dine Urim, ham, som du prøved ved Massa og bekæmped ved Meribas Vand,
9 Who is saying of his father and his mother, I have not seen him; And he has not discerned his brothers, And he has not known his sons; For they have observed Your saying, And they keep Your covenant.
som sagde om sin Fader: "Jeg så ham aldrig!" som ikke brød sig om sine Brødre og ikke kendtes ved sine Sønner, thi de holdt dit Ord og holdt fast ved din Pagt.
10 They teach Your judgments to Jacob, And Your law to Israel; They put incense in Your nose, And whole burnt-offering on Your altar.
De skal lære Jakob dine Lovbud og Israel din Lov, bringe Offerduft op i din Næse og Helofre på dine Altre.
11 Bless, O YHWH, his strength, And accept the work of his hands, Strike the loins of his withstanders, And of those hating him—that they do not rise!
Velsign, o HERRE, hans Kraft, find Behag i hans Hænders Værk. Knus Lænderne på hans Fjender, på hans Avindsmænd, så de ej rejser sig mer!
12 Of Benjamin he said: The beloved of YHWH dwells confidently by Him, Covering him over every day; Indeed, he dwells between His shoulders.
Om Benjamin sagde han: Benjamin er HERRENs Yndling, han bor bestandig i Tryghed, den Højeste skærmer ham og bor imellem hans Skrænter.
13 And of Joseph he said: His land [is] blessed [by] YHWH, By a precious thing of the heavens, By dew, and by the deep crouching beneath,
Om Josef sagde han: Hans Land er velsignet af HERREN med det kosteligste fra Himlen oventil og fra Dybet, som ruger for neden,
14 And by a precious thing—fruits of the sun, And by a precious thing—cast forth by the months,
med det kosteligste, Solen frembringer, med det kosteligste, Måneskifterne fremkalder,
15 And by a chief thing—of the ancient mountains, And by a precious thing—of the continuous heights,
med det bedste fra de ældgamle Bjerge og det kosteligste fra de evige Høje,
16 And by a precious thing—of earth and its fullness, And the good pleasure of Him who is dwelling in the bush; Let it come for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of him [who is] separate from his brothers.
med det kosteligste af Jorden og dens Fylde og Nåde fra ham, der boede i Tornebusken. Det skal komme over Josefs Hoved, over Issen på ham, som er Hersker blandt sine Brødre.
17 His splendor [is] a firstling of his ox, And his horns [are] horns of a wild ox; With them he pushes the peoples Altogether to the ends of the earth; And they [are] the myriads of Ephraim, And they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.
Som den unge Okses er hans Højhed, som Vildoksens er hans Horn; med dem nedstøder han Folkene, så vidt som Jorden strækker sig. Sådan er Efraims Titusinder, sådan er Manasses Tusinder!
18 And of Zebulun he said: Rejoice, O Zebulun, in your going out, And, O Issachar, in your tents;
Om Zebulon sagde han: Glæd dig, Zebulon, over din Udfart, du, Issakar, over dine Telte!
19 They call peoples [to] the mountain, There they sacrifice righteous sacrifices; For they suck up the abundance of the seas, And hidden things hidden in the sand.
Til Bjerget stævner de Folkeslag, der ofrer de Retfærds Ofre, thi Havets Overflod dier de og Havsandets skjulteste Skatte!
20 And of Gad he said: Blessed is he who is enlarging Gad, He dwells as a lioness, And has torn the arm—also the crown!
Om Gad sagde han: Priset være han, der skaffer Plads for Gad! Han ligger som en Løve og flænger både Arme og Hjerneskal;
21 And he provides the first part for himself, For there the portion of the lawgiver is covered, And he comes [with] the heads of the people; He has done the righteousness of YHWH, And His judgments with Israel.
han udså sig en Forlodsdel, thi der tilfaldt hans Lod ham. Og Folkets Høvdinger samled sig. Han fuldbyrdede HERRENs Ret og hans Beslutninger sammen med Israel!
22 And of Dan he said: Dan [is] a lion’s whelp; He leaps from Bashan.
Om Dan sagde han: Dan er en Løveunge, som springer frem fra Basan.
23 And of Naphtali he said: O Naphtali, satisfied with pleasure, And full of the blessing of YHWH, Possess [the] west and [the] south.
Om Naftali sagde han: Naftali er mæt af Nåde og fuld af HERRENs Velsignelse, Søen og Søvejen har han i Eje.
24 And of Asher he said: Asher [is] blessed with sons, Let him be accepted by his brothers, And dipping his foot in oil.
Om Aser sagde han: Aser være den velsignede blandt Sønnerne, han være sine Brødres Yndling og dyppe sin Fod i Olie!
25 Iron and bronze [are] your shoes, And as your days—your strength.
Dine Portslåer er Jern og Kobber, som dine dage skal din Styrke være.
26 [There is] none like the God of Yeshurun, Riding the heavens to your help, And in His excellence the skies.
Der er ingen som Jesjuruns Gud, der farer frem over Himmelen for at hjælpe dig, over Skyerne i sin Højhed!
27 The eternal God [is] a habitation, And beneath [are] continuous arms. And He casts out the enemy from your presence and says, Destroy!
Den evige Gud er en Bolig, og hernede er de evige Arme. Fjenden drev han bort for dit Åsyn og sagde: "Tilintetgør dem!"
28 And Israel dwells [in] confidence alone; The eye of Jacob [is] to a land of grain and wine; Also His heavens drop down dew.
Så kom Israel til at bo i Tryghed, Jakobkilden for sig selv, i et Land med Korn og Most, ja, hvis Himmel drypper med Dug.
29 O your blessedness, O Israel! Who is like you? A people saved by YHWH, The shield of your help, And He who [is] the sword of your excellence! And your enemies are subdued for you, And you tread on their high places.”
Held dig, Israel, hvo er som du, et Folk, der får Sejr ved HERREN! Han er din Frelses Skjold, haner din Højheds Sværd. Dine Fjender slesker for dig, over deres Høje skrider du frem.
