Psalms 106
1 Praise Yahweh. Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
Halleluja! Lov Herren, thi han er god, thi hans miskundhed varer evindelig!
2 Who can recount the mighty acts of Yahweh or proclaim in full all his praiseworthy deeds?
Hvo kan opregne Herrens vældige gerninger, finde ord til at kundgøre al hans pris?
3 Blessed are those who do what is right, and whose deeds are always just.
Salige de, der holder på ret, som altid øver retfærdighed!
4 Call me to mind, Yahweh, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them.
Husk os, Herre, når dit folk finder nåde, lad os få godt af din frelse,
5 Then I will see the prosperity of your chosen, rejoice in the gladness of your nation, and glory with your inheritance.
at vi må se dine udvalgtes lykke, glæde os ved dit folks glæde og med din arvelod prise vor lykke!
6 We have sinned like our ancestors; we have done wrong, and we have done evil.
Vi syndede som vore Fædre, handlede ilde og gudløst.
7 Our fathers did not appreciate your marvelous deeds in Egypt; they ignored your many acts of covenant faithfulness; they were rebellious at the sea, the Sea of Reeds.
Vore Fædre i Ægypten ænsede ej dine Undere, kom ikke din store Miskundhed i Hu, stod den Højeste imod ved det røde Hav.
8 Nevertheless, he saved them for his name's sake so that he might reveal his power.
Dog frelste han dem for sit Navns Skyld, for at gøre sin Vælde kendt;
9 He rebuked the Sea of Reeds, and it dried up. Then he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
han trued det røde Hav, og det tørrede ud, han førte dem gennem Dybet som gennem en Ørk;
10 He saved them from the hand of those who hated them, and he rescued them from the hand of the enemy.
han fried dem af deres Avindsmænds Hånd og udløste dem fra Fjendens Hånd;
11 But the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived.
Vandet skjulte dem, som trængte dem, ikke een blev tilbage af dem;
12 Then they believed his words, and they sang his praise.
da troede de på hans Ord og kvad en Sang til hans Pris.
13 But they quickly forgot what he had done; they did not wait for his instructions.
Men de glemte snart hans Gerninger, biede ej på hans Råd;
14 They had insatiable cravings in the wilderness, and they challenged God in the desert.
de grebes af Attrå i Ørkenen, i Ødemarken fristed de Gud;
15 So he gave them what they requested, but he sent a horrible disease upon them.
så gav han dem det, de kræved og sendte dem Lede i Sjælen.
16 In the camp they became jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy priest of Yahweh.
De bar Avind mod Moses i Lejren, mod Aron, HERRENs hellige;
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the followers of Abiram.
Jorden åbned sig, slugte Datan, lukked sig over Abirams Flok;
18 Fire broke out among them; the fire consumed the wicked.
Ilden rasede i deres Flok, Luen brændte de gudløse op.
19 They made a calf at Horeb and worshiped a cast metal figure.
De lavede en Kalv ved Horeb og tilbad det støbte Billed;
20 They traded the glory of God for the image of a bull that eats grass.
de byttede deres Herlighed bort for et Billed af en Okse, hvis Føde er Græs;
21 They forgot God their Savior, who had done great deeds in Egypt.
de glemte Gud, deres Frelser, som øvede store Ting i Ægypten,
22 He had done wonderful things in the land of Ham and mighty acts at the Sea of Reeds.
Undere i Kamiternes Land, frygtelige Ting ved det røde Hav.
23 So he said he would destroy them— had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his anger from destroying them.
Da tænkte han på at udrydde dem, men Moses, hans udvalgte Mand, stilled sig i Gabet for hans Åsyn for at hindre, at hans Vrede lagde øde.
24 Then they despised the fruitful land; they did not believe his promise,
De vraged det yndige Land og troede ikke hans Ord,
25 but grumbled in their tents, and did not obey Yahweh.
men knurrede i deres Telte og hørte ikke på HERREN;
26 Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would let them die in the desert,
da løfted han Hånden og svor at lade dem falde i Ørkenen,
27 scatter their descendants among the nations, and scatter them in foreign lands.
splitte deres Sæd blandt Folkene, sprede dem rundt i Landene.
28 They worshiped the Baal of Peor and ate the sacrifices offered to the dead.
De holdt til med Ba'al-Peor og åd af de dødes Ofre;
29 They provoked him to anger with their actions, and a plague broke out among them.
de krænked ham med deres Gerninger, og Plage brød løs iblandt dem.
30 Then Phinehas rose to intervene, and the plague subsided.
Da stod Pinehas frem og holdt Dom, og Plagen blev bragt til at standse,
31 It was counted to him as a righteous deed to all generations forever.
og det regnedes ham til Retfærdighed fra Slægt til Slægt, evindelig.
32 They also angered Yahweh at the waters of Meribah, and Moses suffered because of them.
De vakte hans Vrede ved Meribas Vand, og for deres Skyld gik det Moses ilde;
33 They made Moses bitter, and he spoke rashly.
thi de stod hans Ånd imod, og han talte uoverlagte Ord.
34 They did not destroy the nations as Yahweh had commanded them,
De udryddede ikke de Folk, som HERREN havde sagt, de skulde,
35 but they mingled with the nations and learned their ways
med Hedninger blandede de sig og gjorde deres Gerninger efter;
36 and worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
deres Gudebilleder dyrkede de, og disse blev dem en Snare;
37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
til Dæmonerne ofrede de, og det både Sønner og Døtre;
38 They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, desecrating the land with blood.
de udgød uskyldigt Blod, deres Sønners og Døtres Blod, som de ofred til Kana'ans Guder, og Landet blev smittet ved Blod;
39 They were defiled by their deeds; in their actions they were like prostitutes.
de blev urene ved deres Gerninger, bolede ved deres idrætter.
40 So Yahweh was angry with his people, and he despised his own people.
Da blev HERREN vred på sit Folk og væmmedes ved sin Arv;
41 He gave them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
han gav dem i Folkenes Hånd, deres Avindsmænd blev deres Herrer;
42 Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection to their authority.
deres Fjendervoldte dem Trængsel, de kuedes under deres Hånd.
43 Many times he came to help them, but they kept rebelling and were brought low by their own sin.
Han frelste dem Gang på Gang, men de stod egensindigt imod og sygnede hen i Brøden;
44 Nevertheless, he paid attention to their distress when he heard their cry for help.
dog så han til dem i Trængslen, så snart han hørte dem klage;
45 He called to mind his covenant with them and relented because of his steadfast love.
han kom sin Pagt i Hu og ynkedes efter sin store Miskundhed;
46 He caused all their conquerers to have pity on them.
han lod dem finde Barmhjertighed hos alle, der tog dem til Fange.
47 Save us, Yahweh, our God. Gather us from among the nations so that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praises.
Frels os, HERRE vor Gud, du samle os sammen fra Folkene, at vi må love dit hellige Navn, med Stolthed synge din Pris.
48 May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised from everlasting to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen.” Praise Yahweh.
Lovet være HERREN, Israels Gud, fra Evighed og til Evighed! Og alt Folket svare Amen!
