Deuteronomy 9
1 “Hear, O Israel: You are passing over the Jordan today to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the heavens,
Hør, Israel! Du drager nu over Jordan for at komme og gøre dig til Herre over Folk, der er større og mægtigere end du selv, over store Byer med himmelhøje Fæstningsværker;
2 a people great and tall, sons of Anakim, whom you have known, and [of whom] you have heard: Who stations himself before sons of Anak?
over et stort Folk, høje som Kæmper, Anakiternes Efterkommere, som du selv kender, og om hvem du selv har hørt sige: Hvem kan holde Stand mod Anakiterne!"
3 And you have known today that your God YHWH [is] He who is passing over before you [as] a consuming fire; He destroys them, and He humbles them before you, and you have dispossessed them, and destroyed them quickly, as YHWH has spoken to you.
Så skal du nu vide, at det er HERREN din Gud, der går foran dig som en fortærende Ild; han vil ødelægge dem, og han vil underku dem for dig, så du kan drive dem bort og ødelægge dem i Hast, således som HERREN har sagt dig.
4 You do not speak in your heart (in your God YHWH’s driving them away from before you), saying, In my righteousness YHWH has brought me in to possess this land; but in YHWH dispossessing these nations from your presence, [it is because of] their being wicked.
Når HERREN din Gud jager dem bort foran dig, tænk så ikke: "For min Retfærdigheds Skyld lod HERREN mig komme ind og tage dette Land i Besiddelse!" Thi det er for disse Folks Ugudeligheds Skyld, at HERREN driver dem bort foran dig!
5 [It is] not in your righteousness and in the uprightness of your heart [that] you are going in to possess their land, but in YHWH dispossessing these nations from your presence, [it is because of] their being wicked, and in order to establish the word which YHWH has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;
Det er ikke for din Retfærdigheds eller dit ædle Hjertes Skyld, du kommer ind og tager deres Land i Besiddelse, nej, det er på Grund af disse Folks Ondskab, at HERREN driver dem bort foran dig, og fordi han vil opfylde det Ord, han tilsvor dine Fædre, Abraham, Isak og Jakob.
6 and you have known that [it is] not in your righteousness [that] your God YHWH is giving this good land to you to possess it, for you [are] a people stiff of neck.
Så vid da, at det ikke er for din Retfærdigheds Skyld, at HERREN din Gud giver dig dette herlige Land i Eje; thi du er et Folk med hårde Halse!
7 Remember [and] do not forget that [with] which you have made your God YHWH angry in the wilderness; from the day that you have come out of the land of Egypt until your coming to this place, you have been rebellious against YHWH;
Kom i Hu, glem ikke, hvorledes du fortørnede HERREN din Gud i Ørkenen! Lige fra den Dag I drog ud af Ægypten, og til I kom til Stedet her, har I været genstridige mod HERREN.
8 even in Horeb you have made YHWH angry, and YHWH shows Himself angry against you—to destroy you.
Ved Horeb fortørnede I HERREN, og HERREN blev vred på eder, så han vilde ødelægge eder.
9 In my going up into the mountain to receive the tablets of stone (tablets of the covenant which YHWH has made with you), then I abide on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I have not eaten bread and I have not drunk water;
Da jeg var steget op på Bjerget for at modtage Stentavlerne, den Pagts Tavler, som HERREN havde sluttet med eder, opholdt jeg mig på Bjerget fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter uden at spise eller drikke,
10 and YHWH gives to me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them [is] according to all the words which YHWH has spoken with you on the mountain, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly.
og HERREN gav mig de to Stentavler, beskrevne med Guds Finger; og på dem stod alle de Ord, HERREN havde talt til eder på Bjerget ud fra Ilden, den Dag I var forsamlet.
11 And it comes to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, YHWH has given the two tablets of stone to me—tablets of the covenant.
Da de fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter var omme, gav HERREN mig de to Stentavler, Pagtens Tavler.
12 Then YHWH says to me, Rise, go down, hurry from here, for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have done corruptly; they have quickly turned aside from the way which I have commanded them—they have made a molten thing for themselves!
Og HERREN sagde til mig: "Stå op og skynd dig ned herfra, thi det Folk, du førte ud af Ægypten, har handlet ilde; hastigt er de veget fra den Vej, jeg foreskrev dem: de har lavet sig et støbt Billede!"
13 And YHWH speaks to me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, it [is] a people stiff of neck.
Og HERREN sagde til mig: "Jeg har set dette Folk, og se, det er et Folk med hårde Halse;
14 Desist from Me, and I destroy them, and blot out their name from under the heavens, and I make you become a nation more mighty and numerous than it.
lad mig i Fred, så jeg kan ødelægge dem og udslette deres Navn under Himmelen; så vil jeg gøre dig til et Folk, mægtigere og større end det!"
15 And I turn and come down from the mountain, and the mountain is burning with fire, and the two tablets of the covenant [are] on my two hands,
Da vendte jeg mig bort og steg ned fra Bjerget med Pagtens to Tavler i mine Hænder, medens Bjerget brændte i lys Lue;
16 and I see, and behold, you have sinned against your God YHWH; you have made a molten calf for yourselves; you have quickly turned aside from the way which YHWH has commanded you.
og jeg så, og se, I havde syndet mod HERREN eders Gud, I havde lavet eder en støbt Tyrekalv; hastigt var I veget fra den Vej, HERREN havde foreskrevet eder.
17 And I lay hold on the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and break them before your eyes,
Da greb jeg de to Tavler og kastede dem ud af mine Hænder og knuste dem for eders Øjne.
18 and I throw myself before YHWH, as at first, [for] forty days and forty nights; I have not eaten bread and I have not drunk water, because of all your sins which you have sinned by doing evil in the eyes of YHWH, to make Him angry.
Og derpå faldt jeg ned for HERRENs Åsyn fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter ligesom forrige Gang, uden at spise eller drikke, for alle eders Synders Skyld, som I havde begået, idet I gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, så I fortørnede ham.
19 For I have been afraid because of the anger and the fury with which YHWH has been angry against you, to destroy you; and YHWH also listens to me at this time.
Thi jeg frygtede for, at HERREN skulde tilintetgøre eder i den Vrede og Harme, som opfyldte ham imod eder. Og HERREN bønhørte mig også den Gang!
20 And YHWH has showed Himself very angry with Aaron, to destroy him, and I also pray for Aaron at that time.
Også på Aron blev HERREN vred, så han vilde tilintetgøre ham; men den Gang gik jeg også i Forbøn for Aron.
21 And I have taken your sin, the calf which you have made, and I burn it with fire, and beat it, grinding well until it [is] small as dust, and I cast its dust into the brook which is going down out of the mountain.
Men eders syndige Værk, Kalven, tog jeg og brændte; og jeg knuste og malede den til fint Støv, og Støvet kastede jeg i Bækken, som løber ned ad Bjerget.
22 And in Taberah, and in Massah, and in Kibroth-Hattaavah, you have been making YHWH angry;
Også i Tabera, Massa og Hibrot Hatta'va fortørnede I HERREN.
23 also in YHWH’s sending you from Kadesh-Barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given to you; then you provoke the mouth of your God YHWH, and have not given credence to Him, nor listened to His voice.
Og da HERREN lod eder rejse fra Kadesj Barnea og bød eder drage op og tage det Land i Besiddelse, som han vilde give eder, trodsede I HERREN eders Guds Befaling, og I troede ikke på ham og adlød ham ikke.
24 You have been rebellious against YHWH from the day of my knowing you.
I har været genstridige mod HERREN, så længe jeg har kendt eder.
25 And I throw myself before YHWH—the forty days and the forty nights when I had thrown myself—because YHWH has commanded to destroy you;
Så faldt jeg ned for HERRENs Åsyn i de fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter, fordi HERREN havde sagt, at han vilde tilintetgøre eder,
26 and I pray to YHWH, and say, Lord YHWH, do not destroy Your people and Your inheritance whom You have ransomed in Your greatness, whom You have brought out of Egypt with a strong hand;
og jeg bad til HERREN og sagde: "Herre, HERRE, ødelæg ikke dit Folk og din Ejendom, som du udløste ved din store Magt og førte ud af Ægypten med stærk Hånd!
27 be mindful of Your servants, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob; do not turn to the stiffness of this people, and to its wickedness, and to its sin,
Kom dine Tjenere i Hu, Abraham, Isak og Jakob; giv ikke Agt på dette Folks Halsstarrighed, på dets Ugudelighed og på dets Synd,
28 lest the land from which You have brought us out says, Because of YHWH’s want of ability to bring them into the land of which He has spoken to them, and because of His hating them, He brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.
for at man ikke skal sige i det Land, du førte os ud fra: Fordi HERREN ikke evnede at føre dem til det Land, han havde lovet dem, og fordi han hadede dem, derfor førte han dem ud for at lade dem omkomme i Ørkenen!
29 And they [are] Your people and Your inheritance, whom You have brought out by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm!”
De er jo dit Folk og din Ejendom, som du førte ud ved din store Kraft og din udstrakte Arm!"
