Deuteronomy 1
1 These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suf, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
Disse ere de Ord, som Mose har talet til al Israel paa hin Side Jordanen, i Ørken paa den slette Mark, over for Suf, imellem Paran og imellem Tofel og Laban og Hazeroth og Di-Sahab,
2 It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea.
elleve Dages Rejse fra Horeb til Seirs Bjerge, indtil Kades-Barnea.
3 In the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that the LORD had given him in commandment to them,
Og det skete i det fyrretyvende Aar, i den ellevte Maaned, paa den første Dag i Maaneden, da talede Mose til Israels Børn, efter alt det som Herren havde budet ham til dem,
4 after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.
efter at han havde slaaet Sihon, Amoriternes Konge, som boede i Hesbon, og Og, Kongen af Basan, som boede i Astharoth ved Edrei.
5 Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,
Paa hin Side Jordanen i Moabiternes Land begyndte Mose at udlægge denne Lov og sagde:
6 “The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, ‘You have lived long enough at this mountain.
Herren vor Gud talede til os ved Horeb og sagde: I have længe nok været ved dette Bjerg.
7 Turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all the places near there: in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the lowland, in the South, by the seashore, in the land of the Canaanites, and in Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
Vender om og rejser, og drager til Amoriternes Bjerg, og til alle deres Naboer paa den slette Mark, paa Bjergene og i Lavlandet, og i Sønden og ved Havets Strand; til Kananiternes Land og til Libanon, indtil den store Flod, den Flod Frat.
8 Behold, I have set the land before you. Go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers—to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob—to give to them and to their offspring after them.’”
Se, jeg har givet det Land for eders Ansigt; kommer og indtager det Land, som Herren har tilsvoret eders Fædre, Abraham, Isak og Jakob at give dem og deres Sæd efter dem.
9 I spoke to you at that time, saying, “I am not able to bear you myself alone.
Da talede jeg til eder paa den samme Tid og sagde: Jeg kan ikke ene bære eder.
10 The LORD your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as the stars of the sky for multitude.
Herren eders Gud har gjort eder mangfoldige, og se, I ere i Dag som Stjernerne paa Himmelen i Mangfoldighed.
11 May the LORD, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are and bless you, as he has promised you!
Herren eders Fædres Gud lægge tusinde Gange flere til eder, end I ere, og han velsigne eder, som han har sagt eder!
12 How can I myself alone bear your problems, your burdens, and your strife?
Hvorledes kan jeg ene bære eders Besvær og eders Byrde og eders Trætte?
13 Take wise men of understanding who are respected amongst your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.”
Forskaffer mig vise og forstandige og forsøgte Mænd af eders Stammer, og jeg vil sætte dem til Høvedsmænd over eder.
14 You answered me, and said, “The thing which you have spoken is good to do.”
Da svarede I mig og sagde: Det er en god Ting, som du siger, at du vil gøre.
15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise and respected men, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, captains of hundreds, captains of fifties, captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.
Saa tog jeg eders Stammers Høvedsmænd, vise og forsøgte Mænd, og satte dem til Høvedsmænd over eder: Til Øverster over Tusinder og Øverster over Hundreder og Øverster over halvtredssindstyve og Øverster over ti og til Fogeder for eders Stammer.
16 I commanded your judges at that time, saying, “Hear cases between your brothers and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him.
Og jeg bød eders Dommere paa samme Tid og sagde: Hører Sagerne imellem eders Brødre og dømmer med Retfærdighed imellem en Mand og hans Broder og imellem den fremmede hos ham.
17 You shall not show partiality in judgement; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgement is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.”
I skulle i Dommen ikke anse Personen, I skulle høre den mindste med den største, I skulle ikke frygte for nogen, thi Dommen hører Gud til; men den Sag, som bliver eder for svar, lader den komme frem til mig, saa vil jeg høre den.
18 I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do.
Da bød jeg eder paa samme Tid alt, hvad I skulle gøre.
19 We travelled from Horeb and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea.
Saa rejste vi fra Horeb og gik igennem hele den store og forfærdelige Ørk, hvilken I saa, ad Vejen til Amoritens Bjerg, som Herren vor Gud befalede os; og vi kom til Kades-Barnea.
20 I said to you, “You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God gives to us.
Da sagde jeg til eder: I ere komne til Amoritens Bjerg, hvilket Herren vor Gud vil give os.
21 Behold, the LORD your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as the LORD the God of your fathers has spoken to you. Don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed.”
Se, Herren din Gud har givet det Land for dit Ansigt; drag op, indtag det, som Herren dine Fædres Gud har sagt dig, frygt ikke og ræddes ikke.
22 You came near to me, everyone of you, and said, “Let’s send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring back to us word of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.”
Da kom I alle frem til mig og sagde: Lader os sende Mænd for vort Ansigt, som kunne udforske os Landet, og de skulle bringe os Svar om, ad hvilken Vej vi skulle drage op, og om de Stæder, som vi skulle komme til.
23 The thing pleased me well. I took twelve of your men, one man for every tribe.
Og de Ord behagede mig, saa jeg tog tolv Mænd af eder, een Mand for hver Stamme.
24 They turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
Og de vendte sig og droge op paa Bjerget og kom til Eskols Bæk, og de bespejdede det.
25 They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, “It is a good land which the LORD our God gives to us.”
Og de toge i deres Haand af Landets Frugt og førte ned til os, og de bragte os Svar og sagde: Det er et godt Land, som Herren vor Gud har givet os.
26 Yet you wouldn’t go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God.
Men I vilde ikke drage op, og I vare genstridige mod Herren eders Guds Mund.
27 You murmured in your tents, and said, “Because the LORD hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us.
Og I knurrede i eders Telte og sagde: Fordi Herren hader os, har han udført os af Ægyptens Land, for at give os i Amoriternes Haand til at ødelægge os.
28 Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart melt, saying, ‘The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to the sky. Moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there!’”
Hvorhen skulle vi drage op? Vore Brødre have mistrøstet vort Hjerte og sagt: Det Folk er større og højere end vi, Stæderne ere store og befæstede op imod Himmelen, dertil med have vi ogsaa set Anakiternes Børn der.
29 Then I said to you, “Don’t be terrified. Don’t be afraid of them.
Da sagde jeg til eder: Lader eder ikke forfærde og frygter ej for dem!
30 The LORD your God, who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
Herren eders Gud, som gaar foran eders Ansigt, han skal stride for eder, ganske som han gjorde med eder i Ægypten for eders Øjne,
31 and in the wilderness where you have seen how that the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place.”
og i Ørken, som du har set, hvor Herren din Gud har baaret dig, ligesom en Mand bærer sin Søn; paa hele den Vej, som I have vandret, indtil I ere komne til dette Sted.
32 Yet in this thing you didn’t believe the LORD your God,
Men uagtet dette Ord troede I ikke paa Herren eders Gud,
33 who went before you on the way, to seek out a place for you to pitch your tents in: in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.
han, som gik for eders Ansigt paa Vejen at opsøge for eder Stedet, hvor I skulde lejre eder, i en Ild om Natten, for at vise eder Vejen, som I skulde gaa paa, og i en Sky om Dagen.
34 The LORD heard the voice of your words and was angry, and swore, saying,
Der Herren hørte eders Ords Røst, da blev han vred og svor og sagde:
35 “Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land which I swore to give to your fathers,
Der skal ingen af disse Mænd, af denne onde Slægt, se det gode Land, som jeg svor at ville give eders Fædre,
36 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it. I will give the land that he has trodden on to him and to his children, because he has wholly followed the LORD.”
uden Kaleb, Jefunne Søn; han skal se det, og ham og hans Børn vil jeg give det Land, som han har traadt paa, fordi han har fuldkommeligen efterfulgt Herren.
37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, “You also shall not go in there.
Herren blev endog vred paa mig for eders Skyld, og sagde: Du skal ikke heller komme derind.
38 Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, shall go in there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Josva, Nuns Søn, som staar for dit Ansigt, han skal komme derhen; styrk ham, thi han skal dele det til Arv iblandt Israel.
39 Moreover your little ones, whom you said would be captured or killed, your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, shall go in there. I will give it to them, and they shall possess it.
Og eders smaa Børn, om hvilke I sagde: De skulle blive til Rov, og eders Sønner, som ikke paa denne Dag forstaa godt eller ondt, de skulle komme derind, og jeg vil give dem det, og de skulle arve det.
40 But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.”
Men I, vender eder og rejser til Ørken ad Vejen til det røde Hav.
41 Then you answered and said to me, “We have sinned against the LORD. We will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us.” Every man of you put on his weapons of war, and presumed to go up into the hill country.
Da svarede I og sagde til mig: Vi have syndet imod Herren, vi ville drage op og stride, ganske som Herren vor Gud befalede os; og I bandt om eder, hver sine Krigsvaaben, og vare letsindige til at drage op paa Bjerget.
42 The LORD said to me, “Tell them, ‘Don’t go up and don’t fight; for I am not amongst you, lest you be struck before your enemies.’”
Da sagde Herren til mig: Sig dem, I skulle ikke drage op, og I skulle ikke stride, thi jeg er ikke midt iblandt eder; at I ikke skulle blive slagne for eders Fjenders Ansigt.
43 So I spoke to you, and you didn’t listen; but you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill country.
Der jeg sagde eder det, da vilde I ikke høre mig; og I vare genstridige imod Herrens Mund, og formastede eder hovmodeligen og droge op paa Bjerget.
44 The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you and chased you as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.
Da droge Amoriterne, som boede paa det samme Bjerg, ud imod eder, og de forfulgte eder, saaledes som Bier gøre, og de knusede eder i Seir, lige til Horma.
45 You returned and wept before the LORD, but the LORD didn’t listen to your voice, nor turn his ear to you.
Der I kom tilbage og græd for Herrens Ansigt, da hørte Herren ikke paa eders Røst og bøjede ikke Øret til eder.
46 So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained.
Saa bleve I i Kades mange Dage, al den Tid, I bleve der.
