Numbers 14
1 That night, all the Israeli people cried loudly.
Da opløftede hele Menigheden sin Røst og brød ud i Klageråb, og Folket græd Natten igennem.
2 The next day they all complained to Aaron and Moses/me. All the men said, “We wish that we had died in Egypt, or in this desert!
Og alle Israelitterne knurrede imod Moses og Aron, og hele Menigheden sagde til dem: "Gid vi var døde i Ægypten eller her i Ørkenen!
3 Why is Yahweh bringing us to this land, where we men will be killed with swords? And our wives and children will be taken away [to be slaves]. [Instead of going to Canaan]. It would be better for us to return to Egypt!”
Hvorfor fører HERREN os til dette Land, når vi skal falde for Sværdet og vore Kvinder og Børn blive til Bytte? Var det dog ikke bedre for os at vende tilbage til Ægypten?"
4 Then [some of] them said to each other, “We should choose a leader who will take us back to Egypt!”
Og de sagde til hverandre: "Lad os vælge os en Fører og vende tilbage til Ægypten!"
5 Then Aaron and Moses/I bowed down [to pray] in front of all the Israeli people who had gathered there.
Da faldt Moses og Aron på deres Ansigt foran hele den israelitiske Menigheds Forsamling.
6 Joshua and Caleb, two of the men who had explored the land, tore their clothes [because they were very dismayed].
Men Josua, Nuns Søn, og Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn, der havde været med til at undersøge Landet, sønderrev deres Klæder
7 They said to the Israeli people, “The land that we explored is very good.
og sagde til hele Israelitternes Menighed: "Landet, vi har rejst igennem og undersøgt, er et såre, såre godt Land.
8 If Yahweh is pleased with us, he will lead us into that very fertile [IDM] land, and he will give it to us.
Hvis HERREN har Behag i os, vil han føre os til det Land og give os det, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning.
9 So do not rebel against Yahweh! And do not be afraid of the people in that land! We will (gobble them up/completely destroy them) [MET]! They do not have anyone who will protect them, but Yahweh will be with us [and help us]. So do not be afraid of them!”
Gør kun ikke Oprør imod HERREN og frygt ikke for Landets Befolkning, thi dem tager vi som en Bid Brød; deres Skygge er veget fra dem, men med os er HERREN; frygt ikke for dem!"
10 Then all the Israeli people talked about [killing Caleb and Joshua by] throwing stones at them. But [suddenly] Yahweh’s glory appeared to them at the Sacred Tent.
Hele Menigheden tænkte allerede på at stene dem; men da kom HERRENs Herlighed til Syne for alle Israelitterne ved Åbenbaringsteltet.
11 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “How long will these people reject me [RHQ]? I am tired of them not believing in what I [can do], in spite of all the miracles I have performed among them [RHQ]!
Og HERREN sagde til Moses: "Hvor længe skal dette Folk håne mig, og hvor længe vil det vægre sig ved at tro på mig, til Trods for alle de Tegn jeg har gjort i det?
12 So I will cause a (plague/widespread sickness) to strike them and get rid of them. But I will cause your [descendants] to become a great nation. They will be a nation that is much greater and stronger than these people are.”
Jeg vil slå det med Pest og udrydde det, men dig vil jeg gøre til et Folk, større og stærkere end det!"
13 But Moses/I replied to Yahweh, “[Please do not do that, because] the people of Egypt will hear about it! You brought these Israeli people from Egypt by your great power,
Men Moses sagde til HERREN: "Ægypterne har hørt, at du i din Vælde har ført dette Folk bort fra dem;
14 and the people of Egypt will tell that to the [descendants of Canaan] who live in this land. Yahweh, they have already heard about you. They know that you have (been with/helped) these people and that they have seen you face-to-face. They have heard that your cloud is like a huge pillar that stays over them, and by using that cloud you lead them during the day, and the cloud becomes like a fire at night [to give them light].
og ligeledes har alle dette Lands Indbyggere hørt, at du, HERRE, er midt iblandt dette Folk, thi du, HERRE, åbenbarer dig synligt, idet din Sky står over dem, og du vandrer foran dem om Dagen i en Skystøtte og om Natten i en Ildstøtte.
15 If you kill these people all at one time, the people-groups who have heard about your [power] will say,
Hvis du nu dræber dette Folk alle som een, vil de Folk, der har hørt dit Ry, sige:
16 ‘Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land that he promised to give to them, so he killed them in the desert.’
Fordi HERREN ikke evnede at føre dette Folk til det Land, han havde tilsvoret dem, lod han dem omkomme i Ørkenen.
17 “So Yahweh, now show that you are very powerful. You said,
Derfor, HERRE, lad din Vælde nu vise sig i sin Storhed, således som du forjættede, da du sagde:
18 ‘I do not quickly become angry; instead, I love people very much, and I forgive people for having sinned and having disobeyed my laws. But I will always punish [LIT] people who are guilty of doing what is wrong. When parents sin, I will punish them, but I will also punish their children and their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren and their great-great-grandchildren.’
HERREN er langmodig og rig på Miskundhed, han forlader Misgerning og Overtrædelse, men han lader ingen ustraffet, og han hjemsøger Fædrenes Brøde på Børnene i tredje og fjerde Led.
19 So, because you love people like that, forgive these people for the sins that they have committed, just like you have continued to forgive them ever since they left Egypt.”
Så tilgiv nu dette Folk dets Misgerning efter din store Miskundhed, således som du har tilgivet dette Folk hele Vejen fra Ægypten og hertil!"
20 Then Yahweh replied, “I have forgiven them, as you requested me to.
Da sagde HERREN: "Jeg tilgiver dem på din Bøn.
21 But, just as certainly as I live and that people all over the world [can see] my (glory/glorious power), [I solemnly declare this: ]
Men så sandt jeg lever så sandt hele Jorden skal opfyldes af HERRENs Herlighed:
22 All these people saw my glory and all the miracles that I performed in Egypt and in the desert, but they disobeyed me, and many times they tested [whether they could continue to do evil things without my punishing them].
Ingen af de Mænd, der har set min Herlighed og de Tegn, jeg har gjort i Ægypten og i Ørkenen, og dog nu for tiende Gang har fristet mig og ikke villet lyde min Røst,
23 Because of that, not one of them will see the land that I promised their ancestors [that I would give to them]. No one who rejected me will see that land.
ingen af dem skal se det Land, jeg tilsvor deres Fædre! Ingen af dem, der har hånet mig, skal få det at se;
24 But Caleb, who serves me [well], is different from the others. He obeys me completely. So I will bring him into that land that he has already seen, and his descendants will inherit/possess some of it.
kun min Tjener Kaleb lader jeg komme til det Land, han har været i, og hans Efterkommere skal få det i Eje, fordi han havde en anden Ånd og viste mig fuld Lydighed.
25 So, since the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who are living in the valleys [in Canaan are very strong], when you leave here tomorrow, [instead of traveling toward Canaan], go back along the road through the desert towards the Red Sea.”
Men Amalekiterne og Kana'anæerne bor i Lavlandet. Vend derfor om i Morgen, bryd op og drag ud i Ørkenen ad det røde Hav til!"
26 Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Fremdeles talede HERREN til Moses og Aron og sagde:
27 “How long will the wicked people of this nation keep complaining about me [RHQ]? I have heard everything that they have grumbled/complained against me.
"Hvor længe skal jeg tåle denne onde Menighed, dem, som bestandig knurrer imod mig? Jeg har hørt Israelitternes Knurren, hørt, hvorledes de knurrer imod mig.
28 So now tell them this: ‘Just as certainly as I, Yahweh, live, I will do exactly what you said would happen.
Sig til dem: Så sandt jeg lever lyder det fra HERREN, som I har råbt mig i Øret, således vil jeg handle med eder!
29 [I will cause] all of you to die here in this desert! Because you grumbled about me, none of you who are more than 20 years old and who were counted when Moses counted everyone
I Ørkenen her skal eders Kroppe falde, alle I, der blev mønstret, så mange I er fra Tyveårsalderen og opefter, I, som har knurret imod mig.
30 will enter the land that I solemnly promised to give to you. Only Caleb and Joshua will enter that land.
Sandelig, ingen af eder skal komme til det Land, jeg med løftet Hånd svor at ville giver eder at bo i, med Undtagelse af Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn, og Josua, Nuns Søn.
31 You said that your children would be taken from you [to become slaves], but I will take them into the land, and they will enjoy living in the land that you (rejected/said that you could not conquer).
Eders små Børn, som I sagde vilde blive til Bytte, dem vil jeg lade komme derhen, og de skal tage det Land i Besiddelse, som I har vraget,
32 But as for you [adults], you will die here in this desert.
men eders egne Kroppe skal falde i Ørkenen her,
33 And like shepherds [wander around in the desert as they take care of their sheep], your children will wander around in this desert for 40 years. Because you adults were not loyal/faithful to me, your children will suffer until you all die in the desert.
og eders Sønner skal flakke om i Ørkenen i fyrretyve År og undgælde for eders Bolen, indtil eders Kroppe er gået til Grunde i Ørkenen.
34 You will suffer for your sins for 40 years. That will be one year for each of the 40 days that the twelve men explored Canaan land. And I will be like an enemy to you.’
Som I brugte fyrretyve Dage til at undersøge Landet, således skal I undgælde for eders Misgerninger i fyrretyve År, eet År for hver Dag, og således få mit Mishag at føle.
35 [This will certainly happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it! I will do these things to every one in this group who conspired against me. They (conspired against/decided together to reject) me here in the desert, and they will all die right here in this desert!”
Jeg HERREN har sagt det: Sandelig, således vil jeg handle med hele denne onde Menighed, der har rottet sig sammen imod mig; i Ørkenen her skal de gå til Grunde, i den skal de dø!"
36 Then the ten men [who had explored Canaan and] who had urged the people to rebel against Yahweh by giving reports that discouraged the people
Og de Mænd, Moses havde udsendt for at undersøge Landet, og som efter deres Tilbagekomst havde fået hele Menigheden til at knurre imod ham ved at tale nedsættende om Landet,
37 were immediately struck with a plague/disease that Yahweh sent, and they died.
de Mænd, der havde talt nedsættende om Landet, fik en brat Død for HERRENs Åsyn:
38 Of the twelve men who had explored Canaan, only Joshua and Caleb remained alive.
kun Josua, Nuns Søn, og Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn, blev i Live af de Mænd, der var draget hen for at undersøge Landet.
39 When Moses/I reported to the Israeli people what Yahweh had said, many of them were very sad.
Men da Moses forebragte alle Israelitterne disse Ord, grebes Folket af stor Sorg;
40 So the people got up early the next morning and started to go toward the hilly area in Canaan. They said, “[We know that] we have sinned, but now we [are ready to] enter the land that Yahweh promised to give to us.”
og tidligt næste Morgen drog de op mod det øverste af Bjerglandet og sagde: "Se, vi er rede til at drage op til det Sted, HERREN har talet om, thi vi, har syndet."
41 But Moses/I said, “Yahweh commanded you [to return to the desert, so] why are you now disobeying him [RHQ]? It will not (succeed/be possible).
Da sagde Moses: "Hvorfor vil I overtræde HERRENs Bud? Det vil ikke gå godt!
42 Do not try to enter the land now! [If you try], your enemies will defeat you, because Yahweh will not (be with/help) you.
Drag ikke derop, thi HERREN er ikke iblandt eder; gør I det, bliver I slået af eders Fjender!
43 When you begin to fight the descendants of Amalek and Canaan, they will slaughter you! Yahweh will abandon you, because you have abandoned him.”
Thi Amalekiterne og Kana'anæerne vil møde eder der, og I skal falde for Sværdet; I har jo vendt eder fra HERREN, og HERREN er ikke med eder!"
44 But even though Moses/I did not leave the camp, and the sacred chest that contained the Ten Commandments was not taken from the camp, the people began to go towards the hilly area in Canaan.
Alligevel formastede de sig til at drage op mod det øverste af Bjerglandet; men HERRENs Pagts Ark og Moses forlod ikke Lejren.
45 Then the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who lived in that hilly area came down and attacked them and chased them as far [south] as [the town of] Hormah.
Da steg Amalekiterne og Kana'anæerne, der boede der i Bjerglandet, ned og slog dem og adsplittede dem lige til Horma.
