Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
Lyt til, I Himle, lad mig tale, Jorden høre mine Ord!
2 Let my teaching fall like rain and my speech settle like dew, like gentle rain on new grass, like showers on tender plants.
Lad dryppe som Regn min Lære, lad flyde som Dug mit Ord, som Regnskyl på unge Spirer, som Regnens Dråber på Græs.
3 For I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Ascribe greatness to our God!
Thi HERRENs Navn vil jeg forkynde, Ære skal I give vor Gud!
4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect; all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He.
Han er Klippen, fuldkomment hans Værk, thi alle hans Veje er Retfærd! En trofast Gud, uden Svig, retfærdig og sanddru er Han.
5 His people have acted corruptly toward Him; the spot on them is not that of His children, but of a perverse and crooked generation.
Skændselsmennesker sveg ham, en forvent og vanartet Slægt.
6 Is this how you repay the LORD, O foolish and senseless people? Is He not your Father and Creator? Has He not made you and established you?
Er det sådan, I lønner HERREN? Du tåbelige, uvise Folk! Er han ej din Fader og Skaber, den, som gjorde og danned dig?
7 Remember the days of old; consider the years long past. Ask your father, and he will tell you, your elders, and they will inform you.
Kom Fortidens Dage i Hu, agt på henfarne Slægters År; spørg din Fader, han skal berette, dine gamle, de skal fortælle dig!
8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
Da den Højeste gav Folkene Eje, satte Skel mellem Menneskenes Børn, bestemte han Folkenes Grænser efter Tallet på Guds Sønner,
9 But the LORD’s portion is His people, Jacob His allotted inheritance.
men HERRENs Del blev Jakob, Israel hans tilmålte Lod.
10 He found him in a desert land, in a barren, howling wilderness; He surrounded him, He instructed him, He guarded him as the apple of His eye.
Han fandt det i Ørkenlandet, i Ødemarken, blandt Ørkenens Hyl; han værnede det med vågent Øje og vogtede det som sin Øjesten.
11 As an eagle stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, He spread His wings to catch them and carried them on His pinions.
Som Ørnen, der purrer sin Yngel ud og svæver over sine Unger, løftede han det på sit Vingefang og bar det på sine Vinger.
12 The LORD alone led him, and no foreign god was with him.
HERREN var dets eneste Fører, ingen fremmed Gud var hos ham.
13 He made him ride on the heights of the land and fed him the produce of the field. He nourished him with honey from the rock and oil from the flinty crag,
Han lod det færdes over Landets Høje, nærede det med Markens Frugter, lod det suge Honning af Klippen og Olie af Bjergets Flint,
14 with curds from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, with the choicest grains of wheat. From the juice of the finest grapes you drank the wine.
Surmælk fra Køer, Mælk fra Småkvæg, dertil Fedt af Lam og Vædre, af Tyre fra Basan og Bukke og Hvedens Fedme tillige, og Drueblod drak du, Vin.
15 But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked— becoming fat, bloated, and gorged. He abandoned the God who made him and scorned the Rock of his salvation.
Men da Jesjurun blev fed, slog han bagud, du blev fed, du blev tyk, du blev mæsket; da forskød han Gud, sin Skaber, lod hånt om sin Frelses Klippe.
16 They provoked His jealousy with foreign gods; they enraged Him with abominations.
De æggede ham med fremmede, med Vederstyggeligheder tirrede de ham;
17 They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they had not known, to newly arrived gods, which your fathers did not fear.
de ofred til Dæmoner, der ej er Guder, til Guder, de ej før kendte til; til nye, der nys var kommet frem, og som ej eders Fædre frygtede.
18 You ignored the Rock who brought you forth; you forgot the God who gave you birth.
Klippen, der avled dig, slog du af Tanke og glemte den Gud, der fødte dig!
19 When the LORD saw this, He rejected them, provoked to anger by His sons and daughters.
Da HERREN så det, forstødte han dem af Græmmelse over sine Børn
20 He said: “I will hide My face from them; I will see what will be their end. For they are a perverse generation— children of unfaithfulness.
og sagde: "Jeg vil skjule mit Åsyn for dem og se, hvad Ende det tager med dem; thi de er en bundfalsk Slægt, Børn, som er uden Troskab;
21 They have provoked My jealousy by that which is not God; they have enraged Me with their worthless idols. So I will make them jealous by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation without understanding.
de ægged mig med det der ikke er Gud, tirrede mig ved deres tomme Gøgl: Jeg vil ægge dem med det, der ikke er et Folk, tirre dem ved et Folk af Dårer.
22 For a fire has been kindled by My anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol; it consumes the earth and its produce, and scorches the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Thi der flammer en Ild i min Vrede, som brænder til Dødsrigets Dyb; den fortærer Jorden med dens Grøde og antænder Bjergenes Grunde. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will heap disasters upon them; I will spend My arrows against them.
Jeg hober Ulykker over dem og opbruger mine Pile imod dem.
24 They will be wasted from hunger and ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague; I will send the fangs of wild beasts against them, with the venom of vipers that slither in the dust.
De udmagres af Sult og hentæres af Pestglød og giftig Sot; så sender jeg Vilddyrs Tænder og Slangers Gift imod dem.
25 Outside, the sword will take their children, and inside, terror will strike the young man and the young woman, the infant and the gray-haired man.
Ude slår Sværdet Børnene ned og inde i Kamrene Rædselen både Yngling og Jomfru, diende Børn og grånende Mænd.
26 I would have said that I would cut them to pieces and blot out their memory from mankind,
Jeg satte mig for at blæse dem bort og slette deres Minde blandt Mennesker ud,
27 if I had not dreaded the taunt of the enemy, lest their adversaries misunderstand and say: ‘Our own hand has prevailed; it was not the LORD who did all this.’”
men jeg frygtede, at Fjenden skulde volde mig Græmmelse, deres Avindsmænd tage fejl og tænke: Det var vor egen Hånd, der var stærk, ej HERREN, der gjorde alt dette.
28 Israel is a nation devoid of counsel, with no understanding among them.
Thi de er et rådvildt Folk, og i dem er der ikke Forstand.
29 If only they were wise, they would understand it; they would comprehend their fate.
Var de vise, forstod de det og indså, hvad der venter dem selv!
30 How could one man pursue a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?
Hvor skulde een kunne forfølge tusind, og to slå ti Tusind på Flugt, hvis ikke deres klippe havde solgt dem og HERREN givet dem til Pris!
31 For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies concede.
Thi deres Klippe er ikke som vor, det ved vore Fjender bedst selv!
32 But their vine is from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; their clusters are bitter.
Thi fra Sodoma stammer deres Vinstok og fra Gomorras Marker; deres Druer er giftige Druer, og beske er deres Klaser;
33 Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras.
som Dragegift er deres Vin, som Øglers gruelige Edder.
34 “Have I not stored up these things, sealed up within My vaults?
Er ej dette forvaret hos mig, forseglet i mine Gemmer
35 Vengeance is Mine; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; for their day of disaster is near, and their doom is coming quickly.”
til Hævnens og Regnskabets Dag, den Stund, deres Fod skal vakle? Thi deres Undergangs Dag stunder til; hvad der venter dem, kommer i Hast."
36 For the LORD will vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants when He sees that their strength is gone and no one remains, slave or free.
Thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og forbarmer sig over sine Tjenere, thi han ser, deres kraft er brudt, det er ude med hver og en.
37 He will say: “Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
Da spørger han: "Hvor er nu deres Gud, Klippen, på hvem de forlod, sig,
38 which ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you; let them give you shelter!
som åd deres, Slagtofres Fedme og drak deres Drikofres Vin? Lad dem rejse sig og hjælpe eder, lad dem være eder et Skjul!
39 See now that I am He; there is no God besides Me. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal, and there is no one who can deliver from My hand.
Erkend nu, at jeg, jeg er Gud uden anden Gud ved min Side. Jeg døder, jeg gør levende, jeg sårer, og jeg læger, "g ingen kan frelse fra min Hånd.
40 For I lift up My hand to heaven and declare: As surely as I live forever,
Thi jeg løfter min Hånd mod Himlen og siger: Så sandt jeg lever evindelig,
41 when I sharpen My flashing sword, and My hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on My adversaries and repay those who hate Me.
jeg hvæsser mit lynende Sværd, og min Hånd tager fat på Dommen, jeg hævner mig på mine Fjender, øver Gengæld mod mine Avindsmænd.
42 I will make My arrows drunk with blood, while My sword devours flesh— the blood of the slain and captives, the heads of the enemy leaders.”
Mine Pile gør jeg drukne af Blod, og mit Sværd skal svælge i Kød, i faldnes og fangnes Blod og fjendtlige Høvdingers Hoveder!"
43 Rejoice, O heavens, with Him, and let all God’s angels worship Him. Rejoice, O nations, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His children. He will take vengeance on His adversaries and repay those who hate Him; He will cleanse His land and His people.
I Folkeslag, pris hans Folk, thi han hævner sine Tjeneres Blod; han hævner sig på sine Fjender, og skaffer sit Folks Land Soning!
44 Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people.
Og Moses kom og fremsagde hele denne Sang for Folket, han og Josua, Nuns Søn.
45 When Moses had finished reciting all these words to all Israel,
Og da Moses var færdig med at fremsige alle disse Ord for hele Israel,
46 he said to them, “Take to heart all these words I testify among you today, so that you may command your children to carefully follow all the words of this law.
sagde han til dem: "Læg eder alle de Ord på Sinde, som jeg i Dag har vidnet imod eder, for at du kan pålægge dine Sønner dem, at de omhyggeligt må handle efter alle denne Lovs Bud;
47 For they are not idle words to you, because they are your life, and by them you will live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
thi det er ikke tomme Ord uden Betydning for eder, men af dem afhænger eders Liv, og ved at følge det Ord skal I få et langt Liv i det Land, som l skal ind og tage i Besiddelse efter at være gået over Jordan."
48 On that same day the LORD said to Moses,
Selv samme Dag talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
49 “Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab across from Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites as their own possession.
"Stig op på Abarimbjerget der, Nebobjerget i Moabs Land over for Jeriko, og se ud over Kana'ans Land, som jeg vil give Israelitterne i Eje!
50 And there on the mountain that you climb, you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.
Og så skal du dø på det Bjerg, du bestiger, og samles til din Slægt, ligesom din Broder Aron døde på Bjerget Hor og samledes til sin Slægt,
51 For at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you broke faith with Me among the Israelites by failing to treat Me as holy in their presence.
fordi I handlede troløst imod mig iblandt Israelitterne ved Merihat Kadesjs Vand i Zins Ørken, fordi I ikke helligede mig iblandt Israelitterne.
52 Although you shall see from a distance the land that I am giving the Israelites, you shall not enter it.”
Thi her ovre fra skal du se ud over Landet, men du skal ikke komme derind, ind i det Land, jeg vil give Israelitterne!
