Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, you heavens, and let me speak. Let the earth listen to the words of my mouth.
Hører til, I Himle! og jeg vil tale, og Jorden høre min Munds Ord!
2 Let my teaching drop down like the rain, let my speech distill like the dew, like the gentle rain on the tender grass, and like the showers on the plants.
Min Lærdom skal dryppe som Regnen, min Tale skal flyde som Duggen, som Støvregnen paa Græs og som Regndraaber paa Urter;
3 For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh, and ascribe greatness to our God.
thi jeg vil prædike om Herrens Navn: Giver vor Gud Ære!
4 The Rock, his work is perfect; for all his paths are just. He is the faithful God, without iniquity. He is just and upright.
Han er Klippen, hans Gerning er fuldkommen, thi alle hans Veje ere Ret; Gud er Trofasthed og uden Svig; han er retfærdig og oprigtig.
5 They have acted corruptly against him. They are not his children. It is their disgrace. They are a perverted and crooked generation.
Det har fordærvet sig for ham, det er ikke hans Børn, det er deres Skændsel, — en forvendt og vanartet Slægt.
6 Do you reward Yahweh in this way, you foolish and senseless people? Is he not your father, the one who has created you? He made you and established you.
Skulle I gengælde Herren saaledes, du daarlige og uvise Folk? er han ikke din Fader, som har købt dig? han skabte dig og beredte dig.
7 Call to mind the days of ancient times, think about the years of many ages past. Ask your father and he will show you, your elders and they will tell you.
Kom i Hu de gamle Dage, betragter Aarene fra Slægt til Slægt; spørg din Fader, og han skal kundgøre dig det, og dine Ældste, og de skulle sige dig det.
8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance— when he divided all of mankind, and he set the boundaries of the peoples, as he also fixed the number of their gods.
Der den Højeste uddelte Arv iblandt Folkene, der han adskilte Menneskenes Børn, da satte han Folkenes Landemærker efter Israels Børns Tal.
9 For Yahweh's portion is his people; Jacob is his apportioned inheritance.
Thi Herrens Del er hans Folk; Jakob er hans Arvelod.
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the barren and howling wilderness; he shielded him and cared for him, he guarded him as the apple of his eye.
Han fandt ham i et øde Land og paa tomme Steder, blandt Ørkens Hyl; han værnede om ham, han underviste ham, han bevarede ham som sin Øjesten.
11 As an eagle that guards her nest and flutters over her young, Yahweh spread out his wings and took them, and carried them on his pinions.
Som en Ørn, der opvækker sin Rede, svæver over sine Unger, saa udbredte han sine Vinger, tog ham, bar ham paa sine Slagfjedre.
12 Yahweh alone led him; no foreign god was with him.
Herren alene ledede ham, og der var ingen fremmed Gud med ham.
13 He made him ride on high places of the land, and he fed him the fruits of the field; he nourished him with honey from the rock, and oil from the flinty crag.
Han lod ham fare frem over Jordens Høje, at han aad Markens Grøde, og han lod ham suge Honning af Klippen og Olie af den haarde Sten;
14 He ate butter from the herd and drank milk from the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of Bashan and goats, with the finest of the wheat— and you drank foaming wine made from the juice of grapes.
han gav ham Smør af Køer og Mælk af Faar med Fedme af Lam og Vædre, fødte i Basan, og Bukke med Hvedens fedeste Marv; og Druens Blod drak du som Vin.
15 But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked— you grew fat, you were too fat, and you had eaten your fill— he abandoned the God who made him, and he rejected the Rock of his salvation.
Men der Jeskurun blev fed, da slog han ud — du blev fed, blev tyk, fik Huld — og han forlod Gud, som havde skabt ham, og ringeagtede sin Frelses Klippe.
16 They made Yahweh jealous by their strange gods; with their abominations they angered him.
De gjorde ham nidkær ved fremmede Guder; med Vederstyggeligheder opirrede de ham.
17 They sacrificed to demons, which are not God— gods they had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your fathers did not fear.
De ofrede til de Magter, som ikke ere Gud, til Guder, som de ikke kendte, til de nye, som vare opkomne for nylig, hvilke eders Fædre ikke frygtede.
18 You have deserted the Rock, who became your father, and you forgot the God who gave you birth.
Den Klippe, som avlede dig, glemte du, og Gud, som fødte dig, slog du af Tanke.
19 Yahweh saw this and he rejected them, because his sons and his daughters provoked him so.
Og Herren saa det og blev vred af Fortørnelse over sine Sønner og sine Døtre.
20 “I will hide my face from them,” he said, “and I will see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation, children who are unfaithful.
Og han sagde: Jeg vil skjule mit Ansigt for dem, jeg vil se, hvad Ende det tager med dem; thi en forvendt Slægt ere de, Børn, i hvilke der ikke er Troskab.
21 They have made me jealous by what is not god and angered me by their worthless things. I will make them envious by those who are not a people; by a foolish nation I will make them angry.
De gjorde mig nidkær ved det, som ikke er Gud, de opirrede mig ved deres Afguder, og jeg vil gøre dem nidkære ved det, som ikke er et Folk, ved et daarligt Folk vil jeg opirre dem.
22 For a fire is kindled by my anger and is burning to the lowest Sheol; it is devouring the earth and its harvest; it is setting on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Thi Ild er optændt i min Vrede, og den brænder til Helvedes Dyb, og den fortærer Landet og dets Grøde og stikker Ild paa Bjergenes Grundvold. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will heap disasters on them; I will shoot all my arrows at them;
Jeg vil hobe Ulykker sammen over dem; jeg vil opbruge mine Pile imod dem.
24 They will be wasted by hunger and devoured by burning heat and bitter destruction; I will send on them the teeth of wild animals, with the poison of things that crawl in the dust.
De skulle udmagres af Hunger og fortæres af hidsig Sygdom og bitter Sot; og jeg vil sende Rovdyrs Tænder imod dem, med Gift fra Støvets Kryb.
25 Outside the sword will bereave, and in the bedrooms terror will do so. It will destroy both young man and virgin, the nursing baby, and the man of gray hairs.
Udenfor skal Sværd og i Kamrene skal Forfærdelse bortrøve dem, baade unge Karle og Jomfruer, det diende Barn med den graahærdede Mand.
26 I said that I would scatter them far away, that I would make the memory of them to cease from among mankind.
Jeg havde sagt: Jeg vil adsprede dem, jeg vil udslette deres Ihukommelse iblandt Menneskene,
27 Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, and that their enemies would judge mistakenly, and that they would say, 'Our hand is exalted,' I would have done all this.
dersom jeg ikke befrygtede at blive opirret af Fjenden, at deres Fjender skulde miskende det og sige: Vor Haand er høj, og Herren har ikke gjort alt dette.
28 For Israel is a nation devoid of wisdom, and there is no understanding in them.
Thi de ere et raadvildt Folk, og der er ikke Forstand i dem.
29 Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their coming fate!
Gid de vare vise, saa vilde de have Forstand paa dette, de vilde betænke, hvad Ende det vilde tage med dem.
30 How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had given them up?
Hvorledes skulde een forfølge Tusinde, og to slaa ti Tusinde paa Flugt, dersom ikke deres Klippe havde solgt dem, og Herren havde overantvordet dem?
31 For our enemies' rock is not like our Rock, just as even our enemies admit.
Thi deres Klippe er ikke som vor Klippe, selv naar vore Fjender ere Dommere.
32 For their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, and from the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of poison; their clusters are bitter.
Thi deres Vintræ er af Sodomas Vintræ og af Gomorras Agre; deres Druer ere Giftdruer, de have beske Klaser.
33 Their wine is the poison of serpents and the cruel venom of asps.
Deres Vin er Dragegift og grum Øgleedder.
34 Is not this plan secretly kept by me, sealed up among my treasures?
Er det ikke gemt hos mig? lagt under Segl i mine Skatkamre?
35 Vengeance is mine to give, and recompense, at the time when their foot slips; for the day of disaster for them is near, and the things that are to come on them will hurry to happen.”
Hævnen og Betalingen hører mig til paa den Tid, da deres Fod skal snuble; thi deres Ulykkes Dag er nær, og hvad der er beredt for dem, skal komme hastelig.
36 For Yahweh will give justice to his people, and he will pity his servants. He will see that their power is gone, and no one remains, either slaves or free people.
Thi Herren skal dømme sit Folk, og han vil forbarme sig over sine Tjenere, naar han ser, at deres Magt er borte, og at det er forbi baade med den bundne og den løsladte.
37 Then he will say, “Where are their gods, the rock in whom they took refuge?—
Og han skal sige: Hvor ere deres Guder, den Klippe, som de forlode sig paa,
38 The gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you; let them be your protection.
de, som skulle æde deres Slagtofres Fedt, og som skulle drikke deres Drikofres Vin? Lader dem staa op og hjælpe eder, at der kan være et Skjul over eder!
39 See now that I, even I, am God, and that there is no god besides me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal, and there is no one who can save you from my might.
Ser nu, at jeg er, og der er ingen Gud ved Siden af mig; jeg døder og gør levende, jeg saarer og jeg læger, og der er ingen, som redder af min Haand.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven and say, 'As I live forever, I will act.
Thi jeg opløfter min Haand til Himmelen og siger: Jeg, jeg lever evindeligen.
41 When I sharpen my glittering sword, and when my hand begins to bring justice, I will render vengeance on my enemies, and I will pay back those who hate me.
Naar jeg skærper mit Sværds Lyn, og min Haand griber til Retten, da vil jeg lade Hævnen komme tilbage over mine Fjender, og jeg vil betale dem, som mig hade.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword will devour flesh with the blood of the killed and the captives, and from the heads of the leaders of the enemy.'”
Jeg vil gøre mine Pile drukne af Blod, og mit Sværd skal æde Kød, af den ihjelslagnes og fangnes Blod, af Fjendens Fyrsters Hoved.
43 Rejoice, you nations, with God's people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will render vengeance on his enemies, and he will make atonement for his land, for his people.
Fryder eder, I Hedninger, over hans Folk! thi han skal hævne sine Tjeneres Blod og lade Hævnen komme tilbage over sine Fjender og sone sit Land, sit Folk.
44 Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Joshua son of Nun.
Og Mose kom og talede alle Ordene af denne Sang for Folkets Øren, han og Hosea, Nuns Søn.
45 Then Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel.
Og da Mose havde fuldendt at tale alle disse Ord til al Israel,
46 He said to them, “Fix your mind on all the words that I have witnessed to you today, so that you may command your children to keep them, all the words of this law.
sagde han til dem: Lægger alle de Ord paa eders Hjerte, som jeg vidner for eder i Dag, hvilke I skulle byde eders Børn at tage Vare paa, saa at de gøre efter alle denne Lovs Ord.
47 For this is no trivial matter for you, because it is your life, and through this thing you will prolong your days in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.”
Thi det er ikke et ørkesløst Ord for eder; thi det er eders Liv; og ved dette Ord skulle I forlænge eders Dage i det Land, til hvilket I drage over Jordanen for at eje det.
48 Yahweh spoke to Moses on that same day and said,
Og Herren talede til Mose paa samme Dag og sagde:
49 “Go up into this range of the mountains of Abarim, up Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho. You will look at the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel as their possession.
Gak op paa dette Abarims Bjerg, paa Nebo Bjerg, som er i Moabs Land, som er lige for Jeriko, og bese det Land Kanaan, hvilket jeg giver Israels Børn til Ejendom,
50 You will die on the mountain that you go up, and you will be gathered to your people, as Aaron your fellow Israelite died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.
og dø paa det Bjerg, som du skal stige op paa, og bliv samlet til dine Folk, ligesom Aron din Broder døde paa det Bjerg Hor og blev samlet til sine Folk,
51 This will happen because you were unfaithful to me among the people of Israel at the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you did not treat me with honor and respect among the people of Israel.
fordi I forgrebe eder imod mig midt iblandt Israels Børn ved Meribas Vand i Kades, i den Ørk Zin, fordi I ikke helligede mig midt iblandt Israels Børn.
52 For you will see the land before you, but you will not go there, into the land that I am giving to the people of Israel.”
Thi du skal bese Landet tværs over fra, men du skal ikke komme derhen, ind i det Land, som jeg giver Israels Børn.
