Exodus 33
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, “Go, ascend from this [place], you and the people, whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I give it to your seed.
HERREN sagde til Moses: »Drag nu bort herfra med Folket, som du førte ud af Ægypten, til det Land, jeg tilsvor Abraham, Isak og Jakob med de Ord: Dit Afkom vil jeg give det! —
2 And I have sent a Messenger before you, and have cast out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Jeg sender en Engel foran dig, og han skal drive Kana'anæerne, Amoriterne, Hetiterne, Perizziterne, Hivviterne og Jebusiterne bort —
3 [Go up] to a land flowing with milk and honey, for I do not go up in your midst, for you [are] a stiff-necked people—lest I consume you in the way.”
til et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning. Men selv vil jeg ikke drage med i din Midte, thi du er et halsstarrigt Folk; drog jeg med, kunde jeg tilintetgøre dig undervejs!«
4 And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none puts his ornaments on him.
Da Folket hørte denne onde Tidende, sørgede de, og ingen tog sine Smykker paa.
5 And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to the sons of Israel: You [are] a stiff-necked people; [in] one moment I could come up into your midst and could have consumed you; and now, put down your ornaments from off you, and I know what I do to you”;
Da sagde HERREN til Moses: »Sig til Israeliterne; I er et halsstarrigt Folk! Vandrede jeg kun et eneste Øjeblik i din Midte, maatte jeg tilintetgøre dig. Tag du dine Smykker af, saa skal jeg tænke over, hvad jeg vil gøre for dig!«
6 and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.
Da aflagde Israeliterne deres Smykker fra Horebs Bjerg af.
7 And Moses takes the tent, and has stretched it out at the outside of the camp, far off from the camp, and has called it, “Tent of Meeting”; and it has come to pass, everyone seeking YHWH goes out to the Tent of Meeting, which [is] at the outside of the camp.
Moses plejede at tage Teltet og slaa det op udenfor Lejren i nogen Afstand derfra; han gav det Navnet »Aabenbaringsteltet«. Enhver som vilde raadspørge HERREN, gik ud til Aabenbaringsteltet uden for Lejren.
8 And it has come to pass, at the going out of Moses to the tent, all the people rise, and have stood, each at the opening of his tent, and have looked expectingly after Moses, until his going into the tent.
Men hver Gang Moses gik ud til Teltet, rejste alt Folket sig op og stillede sig alle ved Indgangen til deres Telte og saa efter Moses, indtil han kom ind i Teltet.
9 And it has come to pass, at the going in of Moses to the tent, the pillar of the cloud comes down, and has stood at the opening of the tent, and He has spoken with Moses;
Og naar Moses kom ind Teltet, sænkede Skystøtten sig og stillede sig ved Indgangen til Teltet; da talede HERREN med Moses.
10 and all the people have seen the pillar of the cloud standing at the opening of the tent, and all the people have risen and bowed themselves, each at the opening of his tent.
Men naar alt Folket saa Skystøtten staa ved Indgangen til Teltet, rejste de sig alle op og tilbad ved Indgangen til deres Telte.
11 And YHWH has spoken to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend; and he has turned back to the camp, and his minister Joshua, son of Nun, a youth, does not depart out of the tent.
Saa talede HERREN med Moses Ansigt til Ansigt, som naar den ene Mand taler med den anden, og derpaa vendte Moses tilbage til Lejren; men hans Medhjælper Josua, Nuns Søn, en ung Mand, veg ikke fra Teltet.
12 And Moses says to YHWH, “See, You are saying to me, Bring up this people, and You have not caused me to know whom You send with me; and You have said, I have known you by name, and you have also found grace in My eyes.
Moses sagde til HERREN: »Se, du siger til mig: Før dette Folk frem! Men du har ikke ladet mig vide, hvem du vil sende med mig; og dog har du sagt: Jeg kender dig ved Navn, og du har fundet Naade for mine Øjne!
13 And now, if, please, I have found grace in Your eyes, please cause me to know Your way, and I know You, so that I find grace in Your eyes, and consider that this nation [is] Your people”;
Hvis jeg nu virkelig har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, saa lær mig dine Veje at kende, at jeg kan kende dig og finde Naade for dine Øjne; tænk dog paa, at dette Folk er dit Folk!«
14 and He says, “My presence goes, and I have given rest to you.”
Han svarede: »Skal mit Aasyn da vandre med, og skal jeg saaledes føre dig til Maalet?«
15 And he says to Him, “If Your presence is not going—do not take us up from this [place];
Da sagde Moses til ham: »Hvis dit Aasyn ikke vandrer med, saa lad os ikke drage herfra!
16 and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in Your eyes—I and Your people—is it not in Your going with us? And we have been distinguished—I and Your people—from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.”
Hvorpaa skal det dog kendes, at jeg har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, jeg og dit Folk? Mon ikke paa, at du vandrer med os, og der saaledes vises os, mig og dit Folk, en Udmærkelse fremfor alle andre Folkeslag paa Jorden?«
17 And YHWH says to Moses, “Even this thing which you have spoken I do; for you have found grace in My eyes, and I know you by name.”
HERREN svarede Moses: »Ogsaa hvad du der siger, vil jeg gøre, thi du har fundet Naade for mine Øjne, og jeg kalder dig ved Navn.«
18 And he says, “Please show me Your glory”;
Da sagde Moses: »Lad mig dog skue din Herlighed!«
19 and He says, “I cause all My goodness to pass before your face, and have called concerning the Name of YHWH before you, and favored him whom I favor, and loved him whom I love.”
Han svarede: »Jeg vil lade al min Rigdom drage forbi dig og udraabe HERRENS Navn foran dig, thi jeg viser Naade, mod hvem jeg vil, og Barmhjertighed, mod hvem jeg vil!«
20 He also says, “You are unable to see My face, for man does not see Me and live”;
Og han sagde: »Du kan ikke skue mit Aasyn, thi intet Menneske kan se mig og leve.«
21 YHWH also says, “Behold, a place [is] by Me, and you have stood on the rock,
Og HERREN sagde: »Se, her er et Sted i min Nærhed, stil dig paa Klippen der!
22 and it has come to pass, in the passing by of My glory, that I have set you in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over you until My passing by,
Naar da min Herlighed drager forbi, vil jeg lade dig staa i Klippehulen, og jeg vil dække dig med min Haand, indtil jeg er kommet forbi.
23 and I have turned aside My hands, and you have seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.”
Saa tager jeg min Haand bort, og da kan du se mig bagfra; men mit Aasyn kan ingen skue!«
