Deuteronomy 28

1 It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to the LORD your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

Men dersom du adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst og handler efter alle hans Bud, som jeg i Dag pålægger dig, så vil HERREN din Gud sætte dig højt over alle Folk på Jorden;

2 All these blessings will come upon you, and overtake you, if you listen to the LORD your God’s voice.

og alle disse Velsignelser vil komme over dig og nå dig, dersom du adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst:

3 You shall be blessed in the city, and you shall be blessed in the field.

Velsignet skal du være i Staden, og velsignet skal du være på Marken!

4 You shall be blessed in the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the fruit of your animals, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock.

Velsignet dit Livs, din Jords og dit Kvægs Frugt, både Tillægget af dine Okser og dit Småkvægs Yngel!

5 Your basket and your kneading trough shall be blessed.

Velsignet din kurv og dit Dejtrug!

6 You shall be blessed when you come in, and you shall be blessed when you go out.

Velsignet skal du være, når du går ind, og velsignet skal du være, når du går ud!

7 The LORD will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck before you. They will come out against you one way, and will flee before you seven ways.

Når dine Fjender rejser sig imod dig, skal HERREN slå dem på Flugt foran dig; ad een Vej skal de drage ud imod dig, men ad syv skal de flygte for dig.

8 The LORD will command the blessing on you in your barns, and in all that you put your hand to. He will bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives 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 The LORD will establish you for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and walk in his ways.

HERREN skal gøre dig til sit hellige Folk, som han tilsvor dig, når du holder HERREN din Guds Bud og vandrer på hans Veje.

10 All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the LORD’s name, and they will be afraid of you.

Og alle Jordens Folk skal se, at HERRENs Navn er nævnet over dig, og frygte dig.

11 The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you.

HERREN skal give dig Geder 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 The LORD will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You will lend to many nations, and you will not borrow.

HERREN skal åbne dig sit rige Forrådskammer, Himmelen, for at give dit Land Regn i rette Tid og for at velsigne alt, hvad du tager dig for, og du skal låne ud til mange Folk, men selv skal du ikke låne.

13 The LORD will make you the head, and not the tail. You will be above only, and you will not be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today, to observe and to do,

HERREN skal gøre dig til Hoved og ikke til Hale, og det skal stadig gå opad for dig og ikke nedad, når du lytter til HERREN din Guds Bud, som jeg i Dag pålægger dig, og omhyggeligt handler efter dem

14 and shall not turn away from any of the words which I command you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

uden at vige til højre eller venstre fra noget af de Bud, jeg i Dag pålægger eder, ved at holde dig til. andre Guder og dyrke dem.

15 But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the LORD your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you today, that 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 pålægger dig, så skal alle disse Forbandelser komme over dig og nå dig:

16 You will be cursed in the city, and you will be cursed in the field.

Forbandet skal du være i Staden, og forbandet skal du være på Marken!

17 Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.

Forbandet din Kurv og dit Dejgtrug!

18 The fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock will be cursed.

Forbandet dit Livs og din Jords Frugt, Tillægget af dine Okser og dit Småkvægs Yngel!

19 You will be cursed when you come in, and you will be cursed when you go out.

Forbandet skal du være, når du går ind, og forbandet skal du være, når du går ud!

20 The LORD will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you put your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the evil of your doings, by which you 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 går til Grunde for dine onde Gerningers Skyld, fordi du forlod mig.

21 The LORD will make the pestilence cling to you, until he has consumed you from off the land where you go in to possess it.

HERREN skal lade Pesten hænge ved dig, indtil den helt har udryddet dig fra det Land, du skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.

22 The LORD will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with fiery heat, with the sword, with blight, and with mildew. They 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 gået til Grunde.

23 Your sky that is 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 The LORD will make the rain of your land powder and dust. It will come down on you from the sky, 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 The LORD will cause you to be struck before your enemies. You will go out one way against them, and will flee seven ways before them. You will be tossed back and forth amongst all the kingdoms of the earth.

HERREN skal slå 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 på Jorden.

26 Your dead bodies will be food to all birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth; and 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 The LORD will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with the tumours, with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which you can not be healed.

HERREN skal slå dig med Ægyptens Svulster, med Bylder, Skab og Skurv, der ikke kan læges.

28 The LORD will strike you with madness, with blindness, and with astonishment of heart.

HERREN skal slå dig med Vanvid, Blindhed og Vildelse.

29 You will grope at noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways. You will only be oppressed and robbed always, 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 betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her. You will build a house, and you won’t dwell in it. You will plant a vineyard, and not use 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 Vingård, du planter, skal du ikke plukke Druer i;

31 Your ox will be slain before your eyes, and you will not eat any of it. Your donkey will be violently taken away from before your face, and will not be restored to you. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and you will have no one to save you.

din Okse skal slagtes for dine Øjne, men du skal ikke spise deraf; dit Æsel skal røves i dit Påsyn og ikke komme tilbage til dig; dit Småkvæg skal komme i Fjendevold, og ingen skal hjælpe dig;

32 Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people. Your eyes will look and fail with longing for them all day long. There will be no power 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 formår noget.

33 A nation which you don’t know will eat the fruit of your ground and all of your work. You will only be oppressed and crushed always,

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 the sights that you see with your eyes will drive you mad.

du skal blive afsindig ved alt, hvad du må se på.

35 The LORD will strike you in the knees and in the legs with a sore boil, of which you cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head.

HERREN skal slå dig på knæ og Læg med onde Svulster, der ikke kan læges, ja fra Fodsål til Isse.

36 The LORD will bring you, and your king whom you will set over yourselves, to a nation that you have not known, you nor your fathers. There you will serve 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 an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword amongst all the peoples where the LORD will lead you away.

Du skal blive til Rædsel, Spot og Spe for alle de Folk, HERREN fører dig hen til.

38 You will carry much seed out into the field, and will gather little in, for the locust will consume it.

Udsæd i Mængde skal du bringe ud på Marken, men kun høste lidt, thi Græshopperne skal fortære den;

39 You will plant vineyards and dress them, but you will neither drink of the wine, nor harvest, because worms will eat them.

Vingårde 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 throughout all your borders, but you won’t anoint yourself with the oil, for your olives will drop off.

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 father sons and daughters, but they will not be yours, for they will go into captivity.

Sønner og Døtre skal du avle, men du skal ikke beholde dem, thi de skal gå i Fangenskab.

42 Locusts will consume all of your trees and the fruit of your ground.

Alle dine Træer og dit Lands Afgrøde skal Insekterne bemægtige sig.

43 The foreigner who is amongst you will mount up above you higher and higher, and you 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, and you won’t lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail.

De skal låne til dig, men du skal ikke låne til dem; de skal blive Hoved, og du skal blive Hale.

45 All these curses will come on you, and will pursue you and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you didn’t listen to the LORD your God’s voice, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded you.

Alle disse Forbandelser skal komme over dig, forfølge dig og nå dig, til du er lagt øde, fordi du ikke adlød HERREN din Guds Røst, så du holdt hans Bud og Anordninger, som han pålagde dig;

46 They will be for a sign and for a wonder to you and to your offspring forever.

de skal til evig Tid følge dig o: dit Afkom som Tegn og Undere.

47 Because you didn’t serve the LORD your God with joyfulness and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things;

Eftersom du ikke vilde tjene HERREN din Gud med Fryd og Hjertens Glæde, fordi du havde Overflod på alt,

48 therefore you will serve your enemies whom the LORD sends against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in lack of all things. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.

skal du komme til at tjene dine Fjender, som HERREN vil sende imod dig, under Hunger og Tørst, Nøgenhed og Mangel på alt; han skal lægge Jernåg på din Nakke, indtil de har lagt dig øde.

49 The LORD will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies: a nation whose language you will 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 dut ikke forstår,

50 a nation of fierce facial expressions, that doesn’t respect the elderly, nor show favour to the young.

et Folk med hårde Ansigter, der ikke tager Hensyn til de gamle eller viser Skånsel mod de unge;

51 They will eat the fruit of your livestock and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed. They also won’t leave you grain, new wine, oil, the increase of your livestock, or the young 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 Småkvæg, indtil det har tilintetgjort dig;

52 They will besiege you in all your gates until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout all your land. They will besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land which the LORD your God has given you.

det skal belejre dig i alle dine Byer, indtil dine høje, stærke Mure, som du stoler på, 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 the LORD your God has given you, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies will distress 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 amongst you, and very delicate, his eye will be evil towards his brother, towards the wife whom he loves, and towards the remnant of his children whom he has remaining,

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 that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he will eat, because he has nothing left to him, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy will distress you in all your gates.

så 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 amongst you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye will be evil towards the husband that she loves, towards her son, towards her daughter,

Og den mest forvænte og blødagtige af dine Kvinder, som aldrig har prøvet at træde med sin Fod på jorden for Blødagtighed og Forvænthed, skal se skævt til sin Mand, der hviler i hendes Favn, og til sin Søn og Datter,

57 towards her young one who comes out from between her feet, and towards her children whom she bears; for she will eat them secretly for lack of all things in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy will distress you in your gates.

så hun ikke under dem Efterbyrden, der går fra hende, eller de Børn, hun føder; men i Mangel på alt fortærer hun dem selv i Løndom under den Trængsel og Nød, din Fjende bringer over dig inden dine Porte!

58 If you will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD your God,

Hvis du ikke omhyggeligt handler efter alle denne Lovs Ord, som står skrevet i denne Bog, og frygter dette herlige og forfærdelige Navn, HERREN din Gud,

59 then the LORD will make your plagues and the plagues of your offspring fearful, even great plagues, and of long duration, and severe sicknesses, and of long duration.

så 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, which you were afraid of; and 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 every plague which is not written in the book of this law, the LORD will bring them 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, even though you were as the stars of the sky for multitude, because you didn’t listen to the LORD your God’s voice.

Medens I før var talrige som Himmelens Stjerner, skal der kun blive nogle få Mænd tilbage af eder, fordi du ikke adlød HERREN din Guds Røst.

63 It will happen that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so the LORD will rejoice over you to cause you to perish and to destroy you. You will be plucked from the land that you are going in to possess.

Og ligesom HERREN før havde sin Glæde af at gøre vel imod eder og gøre eder mangfoldige, således skal HERREN da have sin Glæde af at tilintetgøre eder og lægge eder øde, og t skal drives bort fra det Land, du nu skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.

64 The LORD will scatter you amongst all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth. There you will serve other gods which you have not known, you nor your fathers, even 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 Amongst these nations you will find no ease, and there will be no rest for the sole of your foot; but the LORD will give you there a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and pining of soul.

og blandt disse Folk skal du ikke få Ro eller finde Hvile for din Fod; thi der skal HERREN give dig et skælvende Hjerte, udtærede Øjne og en vansdsmægtende Sjæl.

66 Your life will hang in doubt before you. You will be afraid night and day, and will have no assurance of your life.

Det skal syne, s dig, som hang dit Liv i en Tråd; du skal ængstes ved Dag og ved Nat og aldrig føle dig sikker på dit Liv.

67 In the morning you will say, “I wish it were evening!” and at evening you will say, “I wish it were morning!” for the fear of your heart which you will fear, and for the sights which your eyes will see.

Om Morgenen skal du sige: "Gid det var Aften!" Og om Aftenen: "Gid det var Morgen!" Sådan Angst skal du gribes af, og så forfærdeligt bliver det, dine Øjne får at se.

68 The LORD will bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I told you that you would never see it again. There you will offer yourselves to your enemies for male and female slaves, and nobody will buy you.

Og HERREN skal føre dig tilbage til Ægypten på Skibe, ad den Vej, som jeg lovede dig, du aldrig mere skulde få 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!
