Deuteronomy 33
1 This is the blessing, with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
Dette er den Velsignelse, hvormed den Guds Mand Moses velsignede Israel før sin Død.
2 He said, "YHWH came from Sinai, and dawned from Seir upon us. He shone forth from Mount Paran. He came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.
Han sagde: HERREN kom fra Sinaj, fra Se'ir fremstraaled han for dem, brød frem i Lysglans fra Parans Bjerge og kom fra Meribat-Kadesj. Ved hans højre lued Ild dem i Møde.
3 Yes, he loves the people. All his holy ones are in your hand. They sat down at your feet; each receives 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 commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
En Lov har Moses paalagt os. Hans Eje er Jakobs Forsamling,
5 He was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
og han blev Konge i Jesjurun, da Folkets Høvdinger kom sammen, og Israels Stammer forsamled sig.
6 "Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few."
Maatte Ruben leve og ikke dø, hans Mænd blive dog et Tal!
7 This is for Judah. He said, "Hear, YHWH, the voice of Judah. Bring him in to his people. With his hands he contended for himself. You shall be a help against his adversaries."
Og disse Ord sagde han om Juda: Hør, HERRE, Judas Raab og lad ham komme til sit Folk! Strid for ham med dine Hænder, vær ham en Hjælp mod hans Fjender!
8 Of Levi he said, "Give to Levi your Thummim and your Urim to your faithful one, whom you proved at Massah, with whom you strove 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 said of his father, and of his mother, 'I have not seen him;' Neither did he acknowledge his brothers, Nor did he know his own children: For they have observed your word, and keep your covenant.
som sagde om sin Fader: »Jeg saa 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 shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, 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 paa dine Altre.
11 YHWH, bless his substance. Accept the work of his hands. Strike the loins of those who rise against him, of those who hate him, that they not rise again."
Velsign, o HERRE, hans Kraft, find Behag i hans Hænders Værk. Knus Lænderne paa hans Fjender, paa hans Avindsmænd, saa de ej rejser sig mer!
12 Of Benjamin he said, "The beloved of YHWH shall dwell in safety by him. He covers him all the day long. 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 Of Joseph he said, "His land is blessed by YHWH, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,
Om Josef sagde han: Hans Land er velsignet af HERREN med det kosteligste fra Himlen oventil og fra Dybet, som ruger forneden,
14 with the choices fruits of the sun, and the bounteous yield of the months,
med det kosteligste, Solen frembringer, med det kosteligste, Maaneskifterne fremkalder,
15 with the finest produce of the ancient mountains, and the abundance of the everlasting hills,
med det bedste fra de ældgamle Bjerge og det kosteligste fra de evige Høje,
16 with the choice things of the earth and its fullness, the good will of him who lived in the bush. Let this come on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.
med det kosteligste af Jorden og dens Fylde og Naade fra ham, der boede i Tornebusken. Det skal komme over Josefs Hoved, over Issen paa ham, som er Hersker blandt sine Brødre.
17 A firstborn bull, majesty is his. His horns are the horns of the wild ox. With them he shall push all of the peoples, to the farthest parts of the earth. They are the ten thousands of Ephraim. They are the thousands of Manasseh."
Som den unge Okses er hans Højhed, som Vildoksens er hans Horn; med dem nedstøder han Folkene, saa vidt som Jorden strækker sig. Saadan er Efraims Titusinder, saadan er Manasses Tusinder!
18 Of Zebulun he said, "Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and Issachar, in your tents.
Om Zebulon sagde han: Glæd dig, Zebulon, over din Udfart, du, Issakar, over dine Telte!
19 They shall call the peoples to the mountain. There they will offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they shall draw out the abundance of the seas, the hidden treasures of the sand."
Til Bjerget stævner de Folkeslag, der ofrer de Retfærds Ofre, thi Havets Overflod dier de og Havsandets skjulteste Skatte!
20 Of Gad he said, "He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm, yes, the crown of the head.
Om Gad sagde han: Priset være han, der skaffer Plads for Gad! Han ligger som en Løve og flænger baade Arme og Hjerneskal;
21 He provided the first part for himself, for there was the lawgiver's portion reserved. He came with the heads of the people. He executed the righteousness of YHWH, his ordinances with Israel."
han udsaa 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 Of Dan he said, "Dan is a lion's cub that leaps out of Bashan."
Om Dan sagde han: Dan er en Løveunge, som springer frem fra Basan.
23 Of Naphtali he said, "Naphtali, satisfied with favor, full of the blessing of YHWH, Possess the west and the south."
Om Naftali sagde han: Naftali er mæt af Naade og fuld af HERRENS Velsignelse, Søen og Søvejen har han i Eje.
24 Of Asher he said, "Asher is blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip 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 Your bars shall be iron and bronze. As your days, so your strength will be.
Dine Portslaaer er Jern og Kobber, som dine Dage skal din Styrke være.
26 "There is none like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, In his majesty through the skies.
Der er ingen som Jesjuruns Gud, der farer frem over Himmelen for at hjælpe dig, over Skyerne i sin Højhed!
27 The God of old is a dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, 'Destroy.'
Den evige Gud er en Bolig, og hernede er de evige Arme. Fjenden drev han bort for dit Aasyn og sagde: »Tilintetgør dem!«
28 Israel dwells in safety; the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.
Saa 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 You are happy, Israel. Who is like you, a people saved by YHWH, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency. Your enemies shall submit themselves to you. You shall tread on their high places."
Held dig, Israel, hvo er som du, et Folk, der faar Sejr ved HERREN! Han er din Frelses Skjold, haner din Højheds Sværd. Dine Fjender slesker for dig, over deres Høje skrider du frem.
