Deuteronomy 28
1 If you listen carefully to the voice of Yahweh your God so as to keep all his commandments that I am commanding you today, Yahweh your God will set you above all the other nations of the earth.
Men dersom du adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst og handler efter alle hans Bud, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig, saa vil HERREN din Gud sætte dig højt over alle Folk paa Jorden;
2 All these blessings will come on you and overtake you, if you listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
og alle disse Velsignelser vil komme over dig og naa dig, dersom du adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst:
3 Blessed will you be in the city, and blessed will you be in the field.
Velsignet skal du være i Staden, og velsignet skal du være paa Marken!
4 Blessed will be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground, and the fruit of your beasts, the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.
Velsignet dit Livs, din Jords og dit Kvægs Frugt, baade Tillægget af dine Okser og dit Smaakvægs Yngel!
5 Blessed will be your basket and your kneading trough.
Velsignet din Kurv og dit Dejgtrug!
6 Blessed will you be when you come in, and blessed will you be when you go out.
Velsignet skal du være, naar du gaar ind, og velsignet skal du være, naar du gaar ud!
7 Yahweh will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck down before you; they will come out against you one way but will flee before you seven ways.
Naar dine Fjender rejser sig imod dig, skal HERREN slaa dem paa Flugt foran dig; ad een Vej skal de drage ud imod dig, men ad syv skal de flygte for dig.
8 Yahweh will command the blessing to come on you in your barns and in all that you put your hand to; he will bless you in the land that he is giving you.
HERREN skal byde sin Velsignelse være med dig i dine Lader og i alt, hvad du tager dig for, og velsigne dig i det Land, HERREN din Gud giver dig.
9 Yahweh will establish you as a people that is set apart for himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and walk in his ways.
HERREN skal gøre dig til sit hellige Folk, som han tilsvor dig, naar du holder HERREN din Guds Bud og vandrer paa hans Veje.
10 All the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the name of Yahweh, and they will be afraid of you.
Og alle Jordens Folk skal se, at HERRENS Navn er nævnet over dig, og frygte dig.
11 Yahweh will make you very prosperous in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your cattle, in the fruit of your ground, in the land that he swore to your fathers to give you.
HERREN skal give dig Goder i Overflod, Frugt af dit Moderliv, Frugt af dit Kvæg og Frugt af din Jord i det Land, HERREN tilsvor dine Fædre at ville give dig.
12 Yahweh will open to you his storehouse of the heavens to give the rain for your land at the right time, and to bless all the work of your hand; you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow.
HERREN skal aabne dig sit rige Forraadskammer, Himmelen, for at give dit Land Regn i rette Tid og for at velsigne alt, hvad du tager dig for, og du skal laane ud til mange Folk, men selv skal du ikke laane.
13 Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail; you will be only above, and you will never be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God that I am commanding you today, so as to observe and to do them,
HERREN skal gøre dig til Hoved og ikke til Hale, og det skal stadig gaa opad for dig og ikke nedad, naar du lytter til HERREN din Guds Bud, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig, og omhyggeligt handler efter dem
14 and if you do not turn away from any of the words that I am commanding you today, to the right hand or to the left, so as to go after other gods to serve them.
uden at vige til højre eller venstre fra noget af de Bud, jeg i Dag paalægger eder, ved at holde dig til andre Guder og dyrke dem.
15 But if you do not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, so as to keep all his commandments and his statutes that I am commanding you today, then all these curses will come on you and overtake you.
Men hvis du ikke adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst og omhyggeligt handler efter alle hans Bud og Anordninger, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig, saa skal alle disse Forbandelser komme over dig og naa dig:
16 Cursed will you be in the city, and cursed will you be in the field.
Forbandet skal du være i Staden, og forbandet skal du være paa Marken!
17 Cursed will be your basket and your kneading trough.
Forbandet din Kurv og dit Dejgtrug!
18 Cursed will be the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.
Forbandet dit Livs og din Jords Frugt, Tillægget af dine Okser og dit Smaakvægs Yngel!
19 Cursed will you be when you come in, and cursed will you be when you go out.
Forbandet skal du være, naar du gaar ind, og forbandet skal du være, naar du gaar ud!
20 Yahweh will send on you curses, confusion, and rebukes in all that you put your hand to, until you are destroyed, and until you perish quickly because of your wicked actions by which you will have forsaken me.
HERREN skal sende Forbandelsen, Rædselen og Truselen over dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for, indtil du i en Hast bliver tilintetgjort og gaar til Grunde for dine onde Gerningers Skyld, fordi du forlod mig.
21 Yahweh will make the plague cling to you until he destroys you from off the land that you are going in to possess.
HERREN skal lade Pesten hænge ved dig, indtil den helt har udryddet dig fra det Land, du skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.
22 Yahweh will attack you with infectious diseases, with fever, with inflammation, and with drought and blistering heat, and with scorching winds and mildew. These will pursue you until you perish.
HERREN skal ramme dig med Svindsot, Feberglød, Betændelse og Hede, med Tørke, Kornbrand og Rust, og de skal forfølge dig, indtil du er gaaet til Grunde.
23 Your skies that are over your head will be bronze, and the earth that is under you will be iron.
Himmelen over dit Hoved skal blive som Kobber, Jorden under dig som Jern.
24 Yahweh will make the rain of your land into powder and dust; from the heavens will it come down on you, until you are destroyed.
Regnen over dit Land skal HERREN forvandle til Sand og Støv, som falder ned over dig fra Himmelen, indtil du er ødelagt.
25 Yahweh will cause you to be struck down before your enemies; you will go out one way against them but will flee before them seven ways. You will be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth.
HERREN skal slaa dig foran dine Fjender; ad een Vej skal du drage ud imod dem, men ad syv skal du flygte for dem, og du skal blive en Skræmsel for alle Riger paa Jorden.
26 Your dead body will be food to all the birds of the heavens and to the beasts of the earth; there will be no one to frighten them away.
Dine Lig skal blive Føde for alle Himmelens Fugle og Jordens vilde Dyr, og ingen skal skræmme dem bort.
27 Yahweh will attack you with the boils of Egypt and with ulcers, scurvy, and itch, from which you cannot be healed.
HERREN skal slaa dig med Ægyptens Svulster, med Bylder, Skab og Skurv, der ikke kan læges.
28 Yahweh will attack you with madness, with blindness, and with mental confusion.
HERREN skal slaa dig med Vanvid, Blindhed og Vildelse.
29 You will grope about at noonday like the blind grope in the darkness, and you will not prosper in your ways; you will be always oppressed and robbed, and there will be no one to save you.
Ved højlys Dag skal du famle dig frem, som den blinde famler sig frem i Mørket; alt, hvad du tager dig for, skal mislykkes for dig, du skal kues og plyndres alle Dage, og ingen skal frelse dig.
30 You will become engaged to a woman, but another man will seize her and rape her. You will build a house but not live in it; you will plant a vineyard but not enjoy its fruit.
Den Kvinde, du trolover dig med, skal en anden favne; det Hus, du bygger dig, skal du ikke komme til at bo i; den Vingaard, du planter, skal du ikke plukke Druer i;
31 Your ox will be slain before your eyes, but you will not eat its meat; your donkey will be forcibly taken away from before you and will not be restored to you. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and you will have no one to aid you.
din Okse skal slagtes for dine Øjne, men du skal ikke spise deraf; dit Æsel skal røves i dit Paasyn og ikke komme tilbage til dig; dit Smaakvæg skal komme i Fjendevold, og ingen skal hjælpe dig;
32 Your sons and your daughters will be given to other peoples; your eyes will look for them the entire day, but will fail with longing for them. There will be no strength in your hand.
dine Sønner og Døtre skal prisgives et fremmed Folk, og med egne Øjne skal du se det og vansmægte af Længsel efter dem Dagen lang, uden at du formaar noget.
33 The harvest of your land and of all your labors—a nation that you do not know will eat it up; you will always be oppressed and crushed,
Frugten af dit Land og af al din Møje skal fortæres af et Folk, du ikke kender; du skal kues og mishandles alle Dage;
34 so that you will become insane by what you have to see happen.
du skal blive afsindig ved alt, hvad du maa se paa.
35 Yahweh will attack you in the knees and legs with severe boils from which you cannot be cured, from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head.
HERREN skal slaa dig paa Knæ og Læg med onde Svulster, der ikke kan læges, ja fra Fodsaal til Isse.
36 Yahweh will take you and the king whom you will place over yourself to a nation that you have not known, neither you nor your ancestors; there you will worship other gods of wood and stone.
Dig og din Konge, som du sætter over dig, skal HERREN føre til et Folk, som hverken du eller dine Fædre før kendte til, og der skal du dyrke fremmede Guder, Træ og Sten.
37 You will become a source of horror, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where Yahweh will lead you away.
Du skal blive til Rædsel, Spot og Spe for alle de Folk, HERREN fører dig hen til.
38 You will take much seed out into the field, but will gather little seed in, for the locusts will consume it.
Udsæd i Mængde skal du bringe ud paa Marken, men kun høste lidt, thi Græshopperne skal fortære den;
39 You will plant vineyards and cultivate them, but you will neither drink any of the wine, nor even gather in the grapes, for worms will eat them.
Vingaarde skal du plante og dyrke, men Vin skal du ikke komme til at drikke eller oplagre, thi Ormene skal opæde Druen;
40 You will have olive trees within all your territory, but you will not rub any of the oil on yourself, for your olive trees will drop their fruit.
Oliventræer skal du have overalt i dit Land, men med Olie skal du ikke komme til at salve dig, thi dine Oliven skal falde af.
41 You will have sons and daughters, but they will not remain yours, for they will go into captivity.
Sønner og Døtre skal du avle, men du skal ikke beholde dem, thi de skal gaa i Fangenskab.
42 All your trees and the fruit of your ground—the locusts will take them over.
Alle dine Træer og dit Lands Afgrøde skal Insekterne bemægtige sig.
43 The foreigner who is among you will rise up above you higher and higher; you yourself will come down lower and lower.
Den fremmede, som er hos dig, skal hæve sig op over dig, højere og højere, men du skal synke dybere og dybere.
44 He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him; he will be the head, and you will be the tail.
De skal laane til dig, men du skal ikke laane til dem; de skal blive Hoved, og du skal blive Hale.
45 All these curses will come on you and will pursue and overtake you until you are destroyed. This will happen because you did not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, so as to keep his commandments and his regulations that he commanded you.
Alle disse Forbandelser skal komme over dig, forfølge dig og naa dig, til du er lagt øde, fordi du ikke adlød HERREN din Guds Røst, saa du holdt hans Bud og Anordninger, som han paalagde dig;
46 These curses will be on you as signs and wonders, and on your descendants forever.
de skal til evig Tid følge dig og dit Afkom som Tegn og Undere.
47 Because you did not worship Yahweh your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart when you were in prosperity,
Eftersom du ikke vilde tjene HERREN din Gud med Fryd og Hjertens Glæde, fordi du havde Overflod paa alt,
48 therefore will you serve the enemies that Yahweh will send against you; you will serve them in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in poverty. He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until he destroys you.
skal du komme til at tjene dine Fjender, som HERREN vil sende imod dig, under Hunger og Tørst, Nøgenhed og Mangel paa alt; han skal lægge Jernaag paa din Nakke, indtil de har lagt dig øde.
49 Yahweh will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle flies to its victim, a nation whose language you do not understand;
HERREN skal opbyde imod dig et Folk fra det fjerne, fra Jordens yderste Ende, et Folk med Ørnens Flugt, et Folk, hvis Sprog du ikke forstaar,
50 a nation with a fierce face that does not respect the aged and does not show favor to the young.
et Folk med haarde Ansigter, der ikke tager Hensyn til de gamle eller viser Skaansel mod de unge;
51 They will eat the young of your cattle and the fruit of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave for you no grain, new wine, or oil, no young of your cattle or of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.
det skal opæde dit Kvægs og din Jords Frugt, indtil du er lagt øde; det skal ikke levne dig Korn, Most eller Olie, tillæg af dine Okser eller Yngel af dit Smaakvæg, indtil det har tilintetgjort dig;
52 They will besiege you in all your city gates, until your high and fortified walls come down everywhere in your land, walls in which you had trusted. They will besiege you within all your city gates throughout all the land that Yahweh your God had given you.
det skal belejre dig i alle dine Byer, indtil dine høje, stærke Mure, som du stoler paa, er styrtet sammen overalt i dit Land; det skal besejre dig overalt inden dine Porte overalt i dit Land, som HERREN din Gud giver dig.
53 You will eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, whom Yahweh your God gave you, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies will put upon you.
Og du skal fortære din Livsfrugt, Kødet af dine Sønner og Døtre, som HERREN din Gud giver dig, under den Trængsel og Nød, din Fjende bringer over dig;
54 The man who is tender and very delicate among you—he will be envious of his brother and his own dear wife, and of whatever children he has left.
selv den mest forvænte og blødagtige af dine Mænd skal se skævt til sin Broder, til sin Hustru, der hviler i hans Favn, og til de sidste Sønner, han har tilbage,
55 So he will not give to any of them the flesh of his own children that he is going to eat, because he will have nothing left for himself in the siege and in the distress which your enemy will put upon you within all your city gates.
saa han ikke under en eneste af dem Kødet af sine Børn, som han fortærer, fordi der ikke er levnet ham noget under den Trængsel og Nød, din Fjende bringer over dig overalt inden dine Porte.
56 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to put the bottom of her foot on the ground for delicateness and tenderness—she will be envious of her own dear husband, of her son, and of her daughter,
Og den mest forvænte og blødagtige af dine Kvinder, som aldrig har prøvet at træde med sin Fod paa Jorden for Blødagtighed og Forvænthed, skal se skævt til sin Mand, der hviler i hendes Favn, og til sin Søn og Datter,
57 and of her own newborn that comes out from between her legs, and of the children whom she will bear. She will eat them in private for lack of anything else, during the siege and in the distress which your enemy will put upon you within your city gates.
saa hun ikke under dem Efterbyrden, der gaar fra hende, eller de Børn, hun føder; men i Mangel paa alt fortærer hun dem selv i Løndom under den Trængsel og Nød, din Fjende bringer over dig inden dine Porte!
58 If you do not keep all the words of this law that are written in this book, so as to honor this glorious and fearful name, Yahweh your God,
Hvis du ikke omhyggeligt handler efter alle denne Lovs Ord, som staar skrevet i denne Bog, og frygter dette herlige og forfærdelige Navn, HERREN din Gud,
59 then Yahweh will make your plagues terrible, and those of your descendants; they will be great plagues, of long duration, and severe diseases, of long duration.
saa skal HERREN sende uhørte Plager over dig og dit Afkom, svare og vedholdende Plager og ondartede, vedholdende Sygdomme,
60 He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt that you were afraid of; they will cling to you.
og lade alle Ægyptens Sygdomme, som du gruer for, komme over dig, og de skal hænge ved dig;
61 Also every sickness and plague that is not written in the book of this law, those also Yahweh will bring on you until you are destroyed.
ja endog alle mulige Sygdomme og Plager, som der ikke er skrevet om i denne Lovbog, skal HERREN lade komme over dig, til du er lagt øde.
62 You will be left few in number, although you were like the stars of the heavens in number, because you did not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
Medens I før var talrige som Himmelens Stjerner, skal der kun blive nogle faa Mænd tilbage af eder, fordi du ikke adlød HERREN din Guds Røst.
63 As Yahweh once rejoiced over you in doing you good, and in multiplying you, so he will rejoice over you in making you perish and in destroying you. You will be plucked off the land that you are going into to possess.
Og ligesom HERREN før havde sin Glæde af at gøre vel imod eder og gøre eder mangfoldige, saaledes skal HERREN da have sin Glæde af at tilintetgøre eder og lægge eder øde, og I skal drives bort fra det Land, du nu skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.
64 Yahweh will scatter you among all peoples from the one end of the earth to the other end of the earth; there you will worship other gods that you have not known, neither you nor your ancestors, gods of wood and stone.
HERREN skal adsplitte dig blandt alle Folkeslagene fra den ene Ende af Jorden til den anden, og der skal du dyrke fremmede Guder, som hverken du eller dine Fædre før kendte til, Træ og Sten;
65 Among these nations will you find no ease, and there will be no rest for the bottoms of your feet; instead, Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, failing eyes, and a soul that mourns.
og blandt disse Folk skal du ikke faa Ro eller finde Hvile for din Fod; thi der skal HERREN give dig et skælvende Hjerte, udtærede Øjne og en vansmægtende Sjæl.
66 Your life will hang in doubt before you; you will fear every night and day and will have no certainty at all in your life.
Det skal synes dig, som hang dit Liv i en Traad; du skal ængstes ved Dag og ved Nat og aldrig føle dig sikker paa dit Liv.
67 In the morning you will say, 'I wish it were evening!' and in the evening you will say, 'I wish it were morning!' because of the fear in your hearts and the things your eyes will have to see.
Om Morgenen skal du sige: »Gid det var Aften!« Og om Aftenen: »Gid det var Morgen!« Saadan Angst skal du gribes af, og saa forfærdeligt bliver det, dine Øjne faar at se.
68 Yahweh will bring you into Egypt again by ships, by the route about which I had said to you, 'You will not see Egypt again.' There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will purchase you.”
Og HERREN skal føre dig tilbage til Ægypten paa Skibe, ad den Vej, som jeg lovede dig, du aldrig mere skulde faa at se; og der skal I stille eder til Salg for eders Fjender som Trælle og Trælkvinder, men der skal ingen være, som vil købe eder!
