4 Mosebog 23

1 Og Bileam sagde til Balak: "Byg mig syv Altre her og skaf mig syv unge Tyre og syv Vædre herhen!"

And he said Balaam to Balak build for me in this [place] seven altars and prepare for me in this [place] seven young bulls and seven rams.

2 Balak gjorde, som Bileam sagde, og Balak og Bileam ofrede en Tyr og en Væder på hvert Alter.

And he did Balak just as he had spoken Balaam and he offered up Balak and Balaam a young bull and a ram on the altar.

3 Derpå sagde Bileam til Balak: "Bliv stående her ved dit Brændoffer, så vil jeg gå hen og se, om HERREN mulig kommer mig i Møde. Hvad han da lader mig skue, skal jeg lade dig vide." Så gik han op på en nøgen Klippetop.

And he said Balaam to Balak take your stand with burnt offering your so let me go perhaps he will meet Yahweh to meet me and [the] word of whatever he will show me and I will tell to you and he went a bare height.

4 Da kom Gud Bileam i Møde. Og han sagde til ham: "Jeg har gjort de syv Altre i Stand og ofret en Tyr og en Væder på hvert."

And he met God Balaam and he said to him [the] seven the altars I have arranged and I have offered up a young bull and a ram on the altar.

5 Og Gud lagde Bileam Ord i Munden og sagde: "Vend tilbage til Balak og tal således til ham!"

And he put Yahweh a word in [the] mouth of Balaam and he said return to Balak and thus you will speak.

6 Da vendte han tilbage til ham, og se, han stod ved sit Brændoffer sammen med alle Moabs Høvdinger.

And he returned to him and there! [he was] standing with burnt offering his he and all [the] leaders of Moab.

7 Og han fremsatte sit Sprog: Fra Aram lod Balak mig hente, Moabs Konge fra Østens Bjerge: "Kom og forband mig Jakob, kom og kald Vrede ned over Isrrael!"

And he lifted up oracle his and he said from Aram he led me Balak [the] king of Moab from [the] mountains of [the] east come! curse! for me Jacob and come! denounce! Israel.

8 Hvor kan jeg forbande, når Gud ej forbander, nedkalde Vrede, når HERREN ej vreds!

What? will I curse [one whom] not he has cursed him God and what? will I denounce [one whom] not he has denounced Yahweh.

9 Jeg ser det fra Klippernes Top, fra Højderne skuer jeg det, et Folk, der bor for sig selv og ikke regner sig til Hedningefolkene.

For from [the] top of [the] rocks I see him and from [the] hills I observe him there! a people [which] alone it dwells and among the nations not it reckons itself.

10 Hvem kan måle Jakobs Sandskorn, hvem kan tælle Israels Støvgran? Min Sjæl dø de oprigtiges Død, og mit Endeligt vorde som deres!

Who? has he counted [the] dust of Jacob and a number [the] fourth part of Israel let it die self my [the] death of upright [people] and let it be end my like his.

11 Da sagde Balak til Bileam: "Hvad har du gjort imod mig! Jeg lod dig hente, for at du skulde forbande mine Fjender, og se, du har velsignet dem!"

And he said Balak to Balaam what? have you done to me to curse enemies my I took you and here! you have blessed actually.

12 Men han svarede: "Skal jeg ikke omhyggeligt sige, hvad HERREN Iægger mig i Munden?"

And he answered and he said ¿ not [that] which he will put Yahweh in mouth my it will I take care to speak.

13 Da sagde Balak til ham: "Følg med mig til et andet Sted, hvorfra du kan se Folket, dog kun den yderste Del deraf og ikke det hele, og forband mig det så fra det Sted!"

And he said to him Balak (come there! *QK) please with me to a place another where you will see it from there only outskirt[s] its you will see and all of it not you will see and curse it for me from there.

14 Og han tog ham med til Udkigsmarken på Toppen af Pisga og rejste der syv Altre og ofrede en Tyr og en Væder på hvert.

And he took him [the] field of Zophim to [the] top of Pisgah and he built seven altars and he offered up a young bull and a ram on the altar.

15 Derpå sagde Bileam til Balak: "Bliv stående her ved dit Brændoffer, medens jeg ser efter, om der møder mig noget!"

And he said to Balak take your stand thus with burnt offering your and I I will meet thus.

16 Da kom Gud Bileam i Møde og lagde ham Ord i Munden og sagde: "Vend tilbage til Balak og tal således!"

And he met Yahweh Balaam and he put a word in mouth his and he said return to Balak and thus you will speak.

17 Så kom han hen til ham, og se, han stod ved sit Brændoffer sammen med Moabs Høvdinger; og Balak spurgte ham: "Hvad har HERREN sagt?"

And he went to him and there he [was] standing with burnt offering his and [the] leaders of Moab [were] with him and he said to him Balak what? has he spoken Yahweh.

18 Da fremsatte han sit Sprog: Rejs dig, Balak, og hør, lyt til mig, Zippors Søn!

And he lifted up oracle his and he said arise O Balak and hear give ear! to me [O] son his Zippor.

19 Gud er ikke et Menneske, at han skulde lyve, et Menneskebarn, at han skulde angre; mon han siger noget uden at gøre det, mon han taler uden at fuldbyrde det?

Not [is] a human God so he may lie and a son of humankind so he may change his mind ¿ he has he said and not will he act? and has he spoken? and not will he fulfill? it.

20 Se, at velsigne er mig givet, så velsigner jeg og tager intet tilbage!

Here! [surely] blessing I have received and he has blessed and not I will turn back it.

21 Man skuer ej Nød i Jakob, ser ej Trængsel i Israel; HERREN dets Gud er med det, og Kongejubel lyder hos det.

Not he has looked at disaster in Jacob and not he has seen trouble in Israel Yahweh God his [is] with him and a shout of a king [is] among him.

22 Gud førte det ud af Ægypten, det har en Vildokses Horn.

God [is] bringing out them from Egypt like [the] horns of a wild ox [belong] to him.

23 Thi mod Jakob hjælper ej Galder, Trolddom ikke mod Israel. Nu siger man om Jakob og om Israel: "Hvad har Gud gjort?"

For not enchantment [is] in Jacob and not divination [is] in Israel about this time it will be said of Jacob and of Israel what! has he done God.

24 Se, et Folk, der står op som en Løvinde, rejser sig som en Løve! Det lægger sig først, når det har ædt Rov og drukket de dræbtes Blod.

There! a people like a lion it rises and like a lion it lifts itself up not it will lie down until it will devour prey and [the] blood of [those] slain it will drink.

25 Da sagde Balak til Bileam: "Vil du ikke forbande det, så velsign det i alt Fald ikke!"

And he said Balak to Balaam neither at all not you will curse it nor at all not you will bless it.

26 Men Bileam svarede og sagde til Balak: "Har jeg ikke sagt dig, at alt, hvad HERREN siger, det gør jeg!"

And he answered Balaam and he said to Balak ¿ not did I speak to you saying all that he will speak Yahweh it I will do.

27 Da sagde Balak til Bileam: "Kom, jeg vil tage dig med til et andet Sted, måske det vil behage Gud, at du forbander mig det fra det Sted."

And he said Balak to Balaam come! please let me take you to a place another perhaps it will be pleasing in [the] eyes of God and you will curse it for me from there.

28 Og Balak førte Bileam op på Toppen af Peor, der rager op over Ørkenen.

And he took Balak Balaam [the] top of Peor which looks down over [the] face of the desolate place.

29 Så sagde Bileam til Balak: "Byg mig syv Altre her og skaf mig syv unge Tyre og syv Vædre herhen!"

And he said Balaam to Balak build for me in this [place] seven altars and prepare for me in this [place] seven young bulls and seven rams.

30 Balak gjorde, som Bileam sagde, og ofrede en Tyr og en Væder på hvert Alter.

And he did Balak just as he had said Balaam and he offered up a young bull and a ram on the altar.
