Deuteronomy 32
1 “Listen to me, [all you who are in the] heavens, and [all you who are on the] earth, listen to what I say [MTY].
Lyt til, I Himle, lad mig tale, Jorden høre mine Ord!
2 I wish/desire that my teaching will fall on you like rain drops or be like dew on the ground, and be like a gentle rain on the young plants, like showers on the grass.
Lad dryppe som Regn min Lære, lad flyde som Dug mit Ord, som Regnskyl paa unge Spirer, som Regnens Draaber paa Græs.
3 I will praise Yahweh [MTY]. And [all you people should] tell others that our God is very great.
Thi HERRENS Navn vil jeg forkynde, Ære skal I give vor Gud!
4 He is like a rock [MET] [under which we are protected]; [everything] that he does is perfect and completely just/fair [DOU]. He always does what he says that he will do; he never does anything that is wrong.
Han er Klippen, fuldkomment hans Værk, thi alle hans Veje er Retfærd! En trofast Gud, uden Svig, retfærdig og sanddru er Han.
5 “But [you Israeli people] have been very unfaithful to him; because of your sins, you no longer [deserve to] be his children. You are extremely wicked and deceitful [DOU].
Skændselsmennesker sveg ham, en forvendt og vanartet Slægt.
6 You foolish and senseless [DOU] people, (is this the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you]?/this is certainly not the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you].) [RHQ] He is your father; he created you [RHQ]; he caused you to become a nation.
Er det saadan, I lønner HERREN? Du taabelige, uvise Folk! Er han ej din Fader og Skaber, den, som gjorde og danned dig?
7 “Think about [what happened] long ago; consider what happened to your ancestors. Ask your parents, and they will inform you; ask the older people, and they will tell you.
Kom Fortidens Dage i Hu, agt paa henfarne Slægters Aar; spørg din Fader, han skal berette, dine gamle, de skal fortælle dig!
8 When God, who is greater than any other god, long ago divided the people into groups, he assigned to the nations their land. He determined where each people-group should live and (assigned to/chose for) each people-group a god/angel.
Da den Højeste gav Folkene Eje, satte Skel mellem Menneskenes Børn, bestemte han Folkenes Grænser efter Tallet paa Guds Sønner,
9 But Yahweh decided that we would be his people; he chose [us, the descendants of] Jacob, to belong to him.
men HERRENS Del blev Jakob, Israel hans tilmaalte Lod.
10 “He saw [our ancestors] when they were in a desert, wandering in a land (that was desolate/where no people lived). He protected them and took care of them, as every person takes good care of his own eyes. [SIM, IDM]
Han fandt det i Ørkenlandet, i Ødemarken, blandt Ørkenens Hyl; han værnede det med vaagent Øje og vogtede det som sin Øjesten.
11 [Yahweh protected his people] just like an eagle encourages its babies [to fly] and flutters over them [MET], spreading its wings and catching them [if they start to fall].
Som Ørnen, der purrer sin Yngel ud og svæver over sine Unger, løftede han det paa sit Vingefang og bar det paa sine Vinger.
12 Yahweh was the only one who led them; no other foreign god helped him.
HERREN var dets eneste Fører, ingen fremmed Gud var hos ham.
13 “[After they entered the land that Yahweh promised to give to them], Yahweh enabled them to rule the hilly areas; they ate the crops that grew in the fields. They found honey in the rocks, and their olive trees [MTY] grew [even] in stony ground.
Han lod det færdes over Landets Høje, nærede det med Markens Frugter, lod det suge Honning af Klippen og Olie af Bjergets Flint,
14 The cows gave them plenty of curds/yogurt, the goats gave them plenty of milk, they had well-fed sheep and cattle, they had very good wheat, and they made delicious wine from their grapes.
Surmælk fra Køer, Mælk fra Smaakvæg, dertil Fedt af Lam og Vædre, af Tyre fra Basan og Bukke og Hvedens Fedme tillige, og Drueblod drak du, Vin.
15 “The Israeli people became rich and prosperous, but then they rebelled against God; they abandoned him, the one who created them, the one who powerfully saves them.
Men da Jesjurun blev fed, slog han bagud, du blev fed, du blev tyk, du blev mæsket; da forskød han Gud, sin Skaber, lod haant om sin Frelses Klippe.
16 So he abandoned them because they started to worship other/strange gods. Because of their worshiping disgusting idols, he became angry.
De æggede ham med fremmede, med Vederstyggeligheder tirrede de ham;
17 They offered sacrifices to gods who were [really] demons, gods that their ancestors had never known; they offered sacrifices to gods that they had recently found out about, gods whom your ancestors had never revered.
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 They forgot [the true] God, the one who protects them [MET], the one who created them and caused them to live.
Klippen, der avled dig, slog du af Tanke og glemte den Gud, der fødte dig!
19 “When Yahweh saw that [they had abandoned him], he became angry, so he rejected [the Israeli people, who are like] his sons and daughters.
Da HERREN saa det, forstødte han dem af Græmmelse over sine Børn
20 He said, ‘They are very wicked/stubborn people, very unfaithful; so I will no longer help them, and then I will watch and see what happens to them.
og sagde: »Jeg vil skjule mit Aasyn for dem og se, hvad Ende det tager med dem; thi de er en bundfalsk Slægt, Børn, som er uden Troskab;
21 They made me very angry because of their worshiping idols, which are not really gods; they have caused me to be [jealous [MET] because I want them to worship only me]. So now, in order to cause them to become jealous, I will send [to attack them an army of] a nation of worthless and foolish people.
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 Daarer.
22 I will be very angry, and I will destroy them like a fire that will burn on the earth and all the way down to the place where dead people are [MET]; that fire will destroy the earth and everything that grows on it, and it will even burn what is down under the 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 will cause them to experience many disasters; [they will feel as though] [MET] I am shooting all my arrows at them.
Jeg hober Ulykker over dem og opbruger mine Pile imod dem.
24 They will die because of being hungry and because of having hot fevers and because of terrible diseases; I will send wild animals to attack [MTY] them, and poisonous snakes to bite [MTY] them.
De udmagres af Sult og hentæres af Pestglød og giftig Sot; saa sender jeg Vilddyrs Tænder og Slangers Gift imod dem.
25 Outside [their houses, their enemies] will kill them [MTY] with swords, and in their homes, [their enemies will cause] them to be terrified. Their enemies will kill young men and young women, and they will kill infants and old people with gray hair.
Ude slaar Sværdet Børnene ned og inde i Kamrene Rædselen baade Yngling og Jomfru, diende Børn og graanende Mænd.
26 I wanted to scatter the Israeli people to distant countries in order that no one would ever remember them.
Jeg satte mig for at blæse dem bort og slette deres Minde blandt Mennesker ud,
27 But [if I did that], their enemies would wrongly boast that they were the ones who had [gotten rid of my people]; they would say, “We [SYN] are the ones who defeated them; it was not Yahweh who has done all these things.”’
men jeg frygtede, at Fjenden skulde volde mig Græmmelse, deres Avindsmænd tage fejl og tænke: Det var vor egen Haand, der var stærk, ej HERREN, der gjorde alt dette.
28 You Israelis are a nation of people who do not have any sense. None of you is wise.
Thi de er et raadvildt Folk, og i dem er der ikke Forstand.
29 If you were wise, you would understand [why you would be punished]; you would have realized what was going to happen to you.
Var de vise, forstod de det og indsaa, hvad der venter dem selv!
30 [You would have realized] why 1,000 [of your soldiers] would be defeated by only one [of the enemy soldiers], and why two of your enemies would chase away 10,000 [Israeli soldiers]. [You would realize that this would happen] only if God, the one who always defended you [MET], had allowed your enemies to defeat you, because he had abandoned you.
Hvor skulde een kunne forfølge tusind, og to slaa ti Tusind paa Flugt, hvis ikke deres Klippe havde solgt dem og HERREN givet dem til Pris!
31 Your enemies know that their gods are not powerful like Yahweh, our God, [so their gods could not have defeated us Israelis].
Thi deres Klippe er ikke som vor, det ved vore Fjender bedst selv!
32 Your enemies are like [MET] grapevines planted near [the ruins of] Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; the grapes from those vines are bitter and poisonous;
Thi fra Sodoma stammer deres Vinstok og fra Gomorras Marker; deres Druer er giftige Druer, og beske er deres Klaser;
33 the wine [from those grapes] is like the poison of snakes [DOU].
som Dragegift er deres Vin, som Øglers gruelige Edder.
34 [“Yahweh says], ‘I know [RHQ] [what I have planned to do to the Israeli people and to their enemies], and those plans are so secure [that it as though he locked them up] [MET].
Er ej dette forvaret hos mig, forseglet i mine Gemmer
35 I am the one who will get revenge and pay those enemies back for what they have done [to my people], at the right time for them to be punished [IDM]; they will soon experience disasters, and I will punish/destroy them quickly.’
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 “But Yahweh will see that you who are truly his people, who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and he will be merciful to you. And he will see that you are helpless, and that there are very few of you, slaves or free people, who are still alive.
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 Then Yahweh will ask his people, ‘Where are the gods that you thought would protect you [MET]?
Da spørger han: »Hvor er nu deres Gud, Klippen, paa hvem de forlod sig,
38 You gave to those gods the best parts of the animals that you sacrificed, and you poured out wine for them to drink. So, they should begin to help you; they should be the ones who will protect you!
som aad deres Slagtofres Fedme og drak deres Drikofres Vin? Lad dem rejse sig og hjælpe eder, lad dem være eder et Skjul!
39 “But now you will realize that I, only I, am God; there is no other god who is [a real] god. I am the one who can kill people and who can cause people to live; I can wound people, and I can heal people, and there is no one who can prevent me from doing those things.
Erkend nu, at jeg, jeg er Gud uden anden Gud ved min Side. Jeg døder, jeg gør levende, jeg saarer, og jeg læger, og ingen kan frelse fra min Haand.
40 I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly declare that just as sure as I live forever,
Thi jeg løfter min Haand mod Himlen og siger: Saa sandt jeg lever evindelig,
41 that when I sharpen my sword, as I [SYN] prepare to punish people, I will get revenge on my enemies; I will pay back those who hate me.
jeg hvæsser mit lynende Sværd, og min Haand tager fat paa Dommen, jeg hævner mig paa mine Fjender, øver Gengæld mod mine Avindsmænd.
42 I will kill all [of my enemies] with a sword; it will be as though I had arrows that will be covered with their blood. I will kill [MTY] all those whom I capture and cut off their leaders’ heads.’
Mine Pile gør jeg drukne af Blod, og mit Sværd skal svælge i Kød, i faldnes og fangnes Blod og fjendtlige Høvdingers Hoveder!«
43 “You people of all nations, you as well as his people should praise Yahweh, because Yahweh gets revenge on those who kill the people who serve him; and he cleanses his people’s land which has become defiled because of their sins.”
I Folkeslag, pris hans Folk, thi han hævner sine Tjeneres Blod; han hævner sig paa sine Fjender, og skaffer sit Folks Land Soning!
44 Joshua and Moses/I recited the words of that song while the Israeli people were listening.
Og Moses kom og fremsagde hele denne Sang for Folket, han og Josua, Nuns Søn.
45 When they/we finished reciting to the Israeli people the words of this song,
Og da Moses var færdig med at fremsige alle disse Ord for hele Israel,
46 Moses/I said, “Never forget all these commands that I have been giving you today. Teach these laws to your children, in order that they will faithfully obey all of them.
sagde han til dem: »Læg eder alle de Ord paa Sinde, som jeg i Dag har vidnet imod eder, for at du kan paalægge dine Sønner dem, at de omhyggeligt maa handle efter alle denne Lovs Bud;
47 These instructions are very important [LIT]. If [you obey] them, you will live a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
thi det er ikke tomme Ord uden Betydning for eder, men af dem afhænger eders Liv, og ved at følge det Ord skal I faa et langt Liv i det Land, som I skal ind og tage i Besiddelse efter at være gaaet over Jordan.«
48 On that same day, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Selv samme Dag talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
49 “Go to the Abarim Mountain range [here] in the Moab region, across from Jericho. Climb Nebo Mountain, and look [toward the west] to see Canaan land, the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people.
»Stig op paa Abarimbjerget der, Nebobjerget i Moabs Land over for Jeriko, og se ud over Kana'ans Land, som jeg vil give Israeliterne i Eje!
50 You will die on that mountain [EUP, DOU], like your [older] brother Aaron died on Hor Mountain.
Og saa skal du dø paa det Bjerg, du bestiger, og samles til din Slægt, ligesom din Broder Aron døde paa Bjerget Hor og samledes til sin Slægt,
51 You will die because both of you disobeyed me in the presence of the Israeli people, when you all were at Meribah Springs near Kadesh [town] in the Zin Desert. You did not honor and respect me in the presence of the Israeli people in the way that I deserve because I am God.
fordi I handlede troløst imod mig iblandt Israeliterne ved Meribat-Kadesj's Vand i Zins Ørken, fordi I ikke helligede mig iblandt Israeliterne.
52 [When you are on that mountain where I told you to go], you will see in the distance in front of you the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people, but you will not enter it.”
Thi her ovre fra skal du se ud over Landet, men du skal ikke komme derind, ind i det Land, jeg vil give Israeliterne!«
