Deuteronomy 28
1 Now if you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep with care all these orders which I have given you today, then the Lord your God will put you high over all the nations of the earth:
Men dersom du adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst og handler efter alle hans Bud, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig, saa vil HERREN din Gud sætte dig højt over alle Folk paa Jorden;
2 And all these blessings will come on you and overtake you, if your ears are open to the voice of the Lord your God.
og alle disse Velsignelser vil komme over dig og naa dig, dersom du adlyder HERREN din Guds Røst:
3 A blessing will be on you in the town, and a blessing in the field.
Velsignet skal du være i Staden, og velsignet skal du være paa Marken!
4 A blessing will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herd, and the young of your flock.
Velsignet dit Livs, din Jords og dit Kvægs Frugt, baade Tillægget af dine Okser og dit Smaakvægs Yngel!
5 A blessing will be on your basket and on your bread-basin.
Velsignet din Kurv og dit Dejgtrug!
6 A blessing will be on your coming in and on your going out.
Velsignet skal du være, naar du gaar ind, og velsignet skal du være, naar du gaar ud!
7 By the power of the Lord, those who take arms against you will be overcome before you: they will come out against you one way, and will go in flight from you seven ways.
Naar dine Fjender rejser sig imod dig, skal HERREN slaa dem paa Flugt foran dig; ad een Vej skal de drage ud imod dig, men ad syv skal de flygte for dig.
8 The Lord will send his blessing on your store-houses and on everything to which you put your hand: his blessing will be on you in the land which the Lord your God is giving 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 keep you as a people holy to himself, as he has said to you in his oath, if you keep the orders of the Lord your God and go on walking in his ways.
HERREN skal gøre dig til sit hellige Folk, som han tilsvor dig, naar du holder HERREN din Guds Bud og vandrer paa hans Veje.
10 And all the peoples of the earth will see that the name of the Lord is on you, and they will go in fear of you.
Og alle Jordens Folk skal se, at HERRENS Navn er nævnet over dig, og frygte dig.
11 And the Lord will make you fertile in every good thing, in the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your fields, in the land which the Lord, by his oath to your fathers, said he would give you.
HERREN skal give dig Goder 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 Opening his store-house in heaven, the Lord will send rain on your land at the right time, blessing all the work of your hands: other nations will make use of your wealth, and you will have no need of theirs.
HERREN skal aabne dig sit rige Forraadskammer, Himmelen, for at give dit Land Regn i rette Tid og for at velsigne alt, hvad du tager dig for, og du skal laane ud til mange Folk, men selv skal du ikke laane.
13 The Lord will make you the head and not the tail; and you will ever have the highest place, if you give ear to the orders of the Lord your God which I give you today, to keep and to do them;
HERREN skal gøre dig til Hoved og ikke til Hale, og det skal stadig gaa opad for dig og ikke nedad, naar du lytter til HERREN din Guds Bud, som jeg i Dag paalægger dig, og omhyggeligt handler efter dem
14 Not turning away from any of the orders which I give you today, to the right hand or to the left, or going after any other gods to give them worship.
uden at vige til højre eller venstre fra noget af de Bud, jeg i Dag paalægger eder, ved at holde dig til andre Guder og dyrke dem.
15 But if you do not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and take care to do all his orders and his laws which I give you today, then 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 paalægger dig, saa skal alle disse Forbandelser komme over dig og naa dig:
16 You will be cursed in the town and cursed in the field.
Forbandet skal du være i Staden, og forbandet skal du være paa Marken!
17 A curse will be on your basket and on your bread-basin.
Forbandet din Kurv og dit Dejgtrug!
18 A curse will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.
Forbandet dit Livs og din Jords Frugt, Tillægget af dine Okser og dit Smaakvægs Yngel!
19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
Forbandet skal du være, naar du gaar ind, og forbandet skal du være, naar du gaar ud!
20 The Lord will send on you cursing and trouble and punishment in everything to which you put your hand, till sudden destruction overtakes you; because of your evil ways in which you have been false to 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 gaar til Grunde for dine onde Gerningers Skyld, fordi du forlod mig.
21 The Lord will send disease after disease on you, till you have been cut off by death from the land to which you are going.
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 send wasting disease, and burning pain, and flaming heat against you, keeping back the rain till your land is waste and dead; so will it be till your destruction is complete.
HERREN skal ramme dig med Svindsot, Feberglød, Betændelse og Hede, med Tørke, Kornbrand og Rust, og de skal forfølge dig, indtil du er gaaet til Grunde.
23 And the heaven over your heads will be brass, and the earth under you hard as 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, sending it down on you from heaven till your destruction is complete.
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 let you be overcome by your haters: you will go out against them one way, and you will go in flight before them seven ways: you will be the cause of fear among all the kingdoms of the earth.
HERREN skal slaa 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 paa Jorden.
26 Your bodies will be meat for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth; there will be no one to send 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 send on you the disease of Egypt, and other sorts of skin diseases which nothing will make well.
HERREN skal slaa dig med Ægyptens Svulster, med Bylder, Skab og Skurv, der ikke kan læges.
28 He will make your minds diseased, and your eyes blind, and your hearts wasted with fear:
HERREN skal slaa dig med Vanvid, Blindhed og Vildelse.
29 You will go feeling your way when the sun is high, like a blind man for whom all is dark, and nothing will go well for you: you will be crushed and made poor for ever, and you will have no saviour.
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 take a wife, but another man will have the use of her: the house which your hands have made will never be your resting-place: you will make a vine-garden, and never take the fruit of it.
Den Kvinde, du trolover dig med, skal en anden favne; det Hus, du bygger dig, skal du ikke komme til at bo i; den Vingaard, du planter, skal du ikke plukke Druer i;
31 Your ox will be put to death before your eyes, but its flesh will not be your food: your ass will be violently taken away before your face, and will not be given back to you: your sheep will be given to your haters, and there will be no saviour for you.
din Okse skal slagtes for dine Øjne, men du skal ikke spise deraf; dit Æsel skal røves i dit Paasyn og ikke komme tilbage til dig; dit Smaakvæg skal komme i Fjendevold, og ingen skal hjælpe dig;
32 Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people, and your eyes will be wasted away with looking and weeping for them all the day: and you will have no power to do anything.
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 formaar noget.
33 The fruit of your land and all the work of your hands will be food for a nation which is strange to you and to your fathers; you will only be crushed down and kept under for ever:
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 things which your eyes have to see will send you out of your minds.
du skal blive afsindig ved alt, hvad du maa se paa.
35 The Lord will send a skin disease, attacking your knees and your legs, bursting out from your feet to the top of your head, so that nothing will make you well.
HERREN skal slaa dig paa Knæ og Læg med onde Svulster, der ikke kan læges, ja fra Fodsaal til Isse.
36 And you, and the king whom you have put over you, will the Lord take away to a nation strange to you and to your fathers; there you will be servants to 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 And you will become a wonder and a name of shame among all the nations where the Lord will take you.
Du skal blive til Rædsel, Spot og Spe for alle de Folk, HERREN fører dig hen til.
38 You will take much seed out into the field, and get little in; for the locust will get it.
Udsæd i Mængde skal du bringe ud paa Marken, men kun høste lidt, thi Græshopperne skal fortære den;
39 You will put in vines and take care of them, but you will get no wine or grapes from them; for they will be food for worms.
Vingaarde skal du plante og dyrke, men Vin skal du ikke komme til at drikke eller oplagre, thi Ormene skal opæde Druen;
40 Your land will be full of olive-trees, but there will be no oil for the comfort of your body; for your olive-tree will give no fruit.
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 have sons and daughters, but they will not be yours; for they will go away prisoners into a strange land.
Sønner og Døtre skal du avle, men du skal ikke beholde dem, thi de skal gaa i Fangenskab.
42 All your trees and the fruit of your land will be the locust's.
Alle dine Træer og dit Lands Afgrøde skal Insekterne bemægtige sig.
43 The man from a strange land who is living among you will be lifted up higher and higher over you, while you go 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 let you have his wealth at interest, and will have no need of yours: he will be the head and you the tail.
De skal laane til dig, men du skal ikke laane til dem; de skal blive Hoved, og du skal blive Hale.
45 And all these curses will come after you and overtake you, till your destruction is complete; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, or keep his laws and his orders which he gave you:
Alle disse Forbandelser skal komme over dig, forfølge dig og naa dig, til du er lagt øde, fordi du ikke adlød HERREN din Guds Røst, saa du holdt hans Bud og Anordninger, som han paalagde dig;
46 These things will come on you and on your seed, to be a sign and a wonder for ever;
de skal til evig Tid følge dig og dit Afkom som Tegn og Undere.
47 Because you did not give honour to the Lord your God, worshipping him gladly, with joy in your hearts on account of all your wealth of good things;
Eftersom du ikke vilde tjene HERREN din Gud med Fryd og Hjertens Glæde, fordi du havde Overflod paa alt,
48 For this cause you will become servants to those whom the Lord your God will send against you, without food and drink and clothing, and in need of all things: and he will put a yoke of iron on your neck till he has put an end to you.
skal du komme til at tjene dine Fjender, som HERREN vil sende imod dig, under Hunger og Tørst, Nøgenhed og Mangel paa alt; han skal lægge Jernaag paa din Nakke, indtil de har lagt dig øde.
49 The Lord will send a nation against you from the farthest ends of the earth, coming with the flight of an eagle; a nation whose language is strange to you;
HERREN skal opbyde imod dig et Folk fra det fjerne, fra Jordens yderste Ende, et Folk med Ørnens Flugt, et Folk, hvis Sprog du ikke forstaar,
50 A hard-faced nation, who will have no respect for the old or mercy for the young:
et Folk med haarde Ansigter, der ikke tager Hensyn til de gamle eller viser Skaansel mod de unge;
51 He will take the fruit of your cattle and of your land till death puts an end to you: he will let you have nothing of your grain or wine or oil or any of the increase of your cattle or the young of your flock, till he has made your destruction complete.
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 Smaakvæg, indtil det har tilintetgjort dig;
52 Your towns will be shut in by his armies, till your high walls, in which you put your faith, have come down: his armies will be round your towns, through 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 paa, 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 And your food will be the fruit of your body, the flesh of the sons and daughters which the Lord your God has given you; because of your bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters.
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 That man among you who is soft and used to comfort will be hard and cruel to his brother, and to his dear wife, and to of those his children who are still living;
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 And will not give to any of them the flesh of his children which will be his food because he has no other; in the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.
saa 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 most soft and delicate of your women, who would not so much as put her foot on the earth, so delicate is she, will be hard-hearted to her husband and to her son and to her daughter;
Og den mest forvænte og blødagtige af dine Kvinder, som aldrig har prøvet at træde med sin Fod paa Jorden for Blødagtighed og Forvænthed, skal se skævt til sin Mand, der hviler i hendes Favn, og til sin Søn og Datter,
57 And to her baby newly come to birth, and to the children of her body; for having no other food, she will make a meal of them secretly, because of her bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.
saa hun ikke under dem Efterbyrden, der gaar fra hende, eller de Børn, hun føder; men i Mangel paa 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 take care to do all the words of this law, recorded in this book, honouring that name of glory and of fear, THE LORD YOUR GOD;
Hvis du ikke omhyggeligt handler efter alle denne Lovs Ord, som staar skrevet i denne Bog, og frygter dette herlige og forfærdelige Navn, HERREN din Gud,
59 Then the Lord your God will make your punishment, and the punishment of your seed, a thing to be wondered at; great punishments and cruel diseases stretching on through long years.
saa skal HERREN sende uhørte Plager over dig og dit Afkom, svare og vedholdende Plager og ondartede, vedholdende Sygdomme,
60 He will send on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which were a cause of fear to you, and they will take you in their grip.
og lade alle Ægyptens Sygdomme, som du gruer for, komme over dig, og de skal hænge ved dig;
61 And all the diseases and the pains not recorded in the book of this law will the Lord send on you till your destruction is complete.
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 And you will become a very small band, though your numbers were like the stars of heaven; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.
Medens I før var talrige som Himmelens Stjerner, skal der kun blive nogle faa Mænd tilbage af eder, fordi du ikke adlød HERREN din Guds Røst.
63 And as the Lord took delight in doing you good and increasing you, so the Lord will take pleasure in cutting you off and causing your destruction, and you will be uprooted from the land which you are about to take as your heritage.
Og ligesom HERREN før havde sin Glæde af at gøre vel imod eder og gøre eder mangfoldige, saaledes skal HERREN da have sin Glæde af at tilintetgøre eder og lægge eder øde, og I skal drives bort fra det Land, du nu skal ind og tage i Besiddelse.
64 And the Lord will send you wandering among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other: there you will be servants to other gods, of wood and stone, gods of which you and your fathers had no knowledge.
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 And even among these nations there will be no peace for you, and no rest for your feet: but the Lord will give you there a shaking heart and wasting eyes and weariness of soul:
og blandt disse Folk skal du ikke faa Ro eller finde Hvile for din Fod; thi der skal HERREN give dig et skælvende Hjerte, udtærede Øjne og en vansmægtende Sjæl.
66 Your very life will be hanging in doubt before you, and day and night will be dark with fears, and nothing in life will be certain:
Det skal synes dig, som hang dit Liv i en Traad; du skal ængstes ved Dag og ved Nat og aldrig føle dig sikker paa dit Liv.
67 In the morning you will say, If only it was evening! And at evening you will say, If only morning would come! Because of the fear in your hearts and the things which your eyes will see.
Om Morgenen skal du sige: »Gid det var Aften!« Og om Aftenen: »Gid det var Morgen!« Saadan Angst skal du gribes af, og saa forfærdeligt bliver det, dine Øjne faar at se.
68 And the Lord will take you back to Egypt again in ships, by the way of which I said to you, You will never see it again: there you will be offering yourselves as men-servants and women-servants to your haters for a price, and no man will take you.
Og HERREN skal føre dig tilbage til Ægypten paa Skibe, ad den Vej, som jeg lovede dig, du aldrig mere skulde faa 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!
