Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, O heavens, to my voice; let the earth take note of the words of my mouth:
Hører til, I Himle! og jeg vil tale, og Jorden høre min Munds Ord!
2 My teaching is dropping like rain, coming down like dew on the fields; like rain on the young grass and showers on the garden plants:
Min Lærdom skal dryppe som Regnen, min Tale skal flyde som Duggen, som Støvregnen paa Græs og som Regndraaber paa Urter;
3 For I will give honour to the name of the Lord: let our God be named great.
thi jeg vil prædike om Herrens Navn: Giver vor Gud Ære!
4 He is the Rock, complete is his work; for all his ways are righteousness: a God without evil who keeps faith, true and upright is he.
Han er Klippen, hans Gerning er fuldkommen, thi alle hans Veje ere Ret; Gud er Trofasthed og uden Svig; han er retfærdig og oprigtig.
5 They have become false, they are not his children, the mark of sin is on them; they are an evil and hard-hearted generation.
Det har fordærvet sig for ham, det er ikke hans Børn, det er deres Skændsel, — en forvendt og vanartet Slægt.
6 Is this your answer to the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? Is he not your father who has given you life? He has made you and given you your place.
Skulle I gengælde Herren saaledes, du daarlige og uvise Folk? er han ikke din Fader, som har købt dig? han skabte dig og beredte dig.
7 Keep in mind the days of the past, give thought to the years of generations gone by: go to your father and he will make it clear to you, to the old men and they will give you the story.
Kom i Hu de gamle Dage, betragter Aarene fra Slægt til Slægt; spørg din Fader, og han skal kundgøre dig det, og dine Ældste, og de skulle sige dig det.
8 When the Most High gave the nations their heritage, separating into groups the children of men, he had the limits of the peoples marked out, keeping in mind the number of the children of Israel.
Der den Højeste uddelte Arv iblandt Folkene, der han adskilte Menneskenes Børn, da satte han Folkenes Landemærker efter Israels Børns Tal.
9 For the Lord's wealth is his people; Jacob is the land of his heritage.
Thi Herrens Del er hans Folk; Jakob er hans Arvelod.
10 He came to him in the waste land, in the unpeopled waste of sand: putting his arms round him and caring for him, he kept him as the light of his eye.
Han fandt ham i et øde Land og paa tomme Steder, blandt Ørkens Hyl; han værnede om ham, han underviste ham, han bevarede ham som sin Øjesten.
11 As an eagle, teaching her young to make their flight, with her wings outstretched over them, takes them up on her strong feathers:
Som en Ørn, der opvækker sin Rede, svæver over sine Unger, saa udbredte han sine Vinger, tog ham, bar ham paa sine Slagfjedre.
12 So the Lord only was his guide, no other god was with him.
Herren alene ledede ham, og der var ingen fremmed Gud med ham.
13 He put him on the high places of the earth, his food was the increase of the field; honey he gave him out of the rock and oil out of the hard rock;
Han lod ham fare frem over Jordens Høje, at han aad Markens Grøde, og han lod ham suge Honning af Klippen og Olie af den haarde Sten;
14 Butter from his cows and milk from his sheep, with fat of lambs and sheep of Bashan, and goats, and the heart of the grain; and for your drink, wine from the blood of the grape.
han gav ham Smør af Køer og Mælk af Faar med Fedme af Lam og Vædre, fødte i Basan, og Bukke med Hvedens fedeste Marv; og Druens Blod drak du som Vin.
15 But Jeshurun became fat and would not be controlled: you have become fat, you are thick and full of food: then he was untrue to the God who made him, giving no honour to the Rock of his salvation.
Men der Jeskurun blev fed, da slog han ud — du blev fed, blev tyk, fik Huld — og han forlod Gud, som havde skabt ham, og ringeagtede sin Frelses Klippe.
16 The honour which was his they gave to strange gods; by their disgusting ways he was moved to wrath.
De gjorde ham nidkær ved fremmede Guder; med Vederstyggeligheder opirrede de ham.
17 They made offerings to evil spirits which were not God, to gods who were strange to them, which had newly come up, not feared by your fathers.
De ofrede til de Magter, som ikke ere Gud, til Guder, som de ikke kendte, til de nye, som vare opkomne for nylig, hvilke eders Fædre ikke frygtede.
18 You have no thought for the Rock, your father, you have no memory of the God who gave you birth.
Den Klippe, som avlede dig, glemte du, og Gud, som fødte dig, slog du af Tanke.
19 And the Lord saw with disgust the evil-doing of his sons and daughters.
Og Herren saa det og blev vred af Fortørnelse over sine Sønner og sine Døtre.
20 And he said, My face will be veiled from them, I will see what their end will be: for they are an uncontrolled generation, children in whom is no faith.
Og han sagde: Jeg vil skjule mit Ansigt for dem, jeg vil se, hvad Ende det tager med dem; thi en forvendt Slægt ere de, Børn, i hvilke der ikke er Troskab.
21 They have given my honour to that which is not God, moving me to wrath with their false worship: I will give their honour to those who are not a people, moving them to wrath by a foolish nation,
De gjorde mig nidkær ved det, som ikke er Gud, de opirrede mig ved deres Afguder, og jeg vil gøre dem nidkære ved det, som ikke er et Folk, ved et daarligt Folk vil jeg opirre dem.
22 For my wrath is a flaming fire, burning to the deep parts of the underworld, burning up the earth with her increase, and firing the deep roots of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Thi Ild er optændt i min Vrede, og den brænder til Helvedes Dyb, og den fortærer Landet og dets Grøde og stikker Ild paa Bjergenes Grundvold. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will send a rain of troubles on them, my arrows will be showered on them.
Jeg vil hobe Ulykker sammen over dem; jeg vil opbruge mine Pile imod dem.
24 They will be wasted from need of food, and overcome by burning heat and bitter destruction; and the teeth of beasts I will send on them, with the poison of the worms of the dust.
De skulle udmagres af Hunger og fortæres af hidsig Sygdom og bitter Sot; og jeg vil sende Rovdyrs Tænder imod dem, med Gift fra Støvets Kryb.
25 Outside they will be cut off by the sword, and in the inner rooms by fear; death will take the young man and the virgin, the baby at the breast and the grey-haired man.
Udenfor skal Sværd og i Kamrene skal Forfærdelse bortrøve dem, baade unge Karle og Jomfruer, det diende Barn med den graahærdede Mand.
26 I said I would send them wandering far away, I would make all memory of them go from the minds of men:
Jeg havde sagt: Jeg vil adsprede dem, jeg vil udslette deres Ihukommelse iblandt Menneskene,
27 But for the fear that their haters, uplifted in their pride, might say, Our hand is strong, the Lord has not done all this.
dersom jeg ikke befrygtede at blive opirret af Fjenden, at deres Fjender skulde miskende det og sige: Vor Haand er høj, og Herren har ikke gjort alt dette.
28 For they are a nation without wisdom; there is no sense in them.
Thi de ere et raadvildt Folk, og der er ikke Forstand i dem.
29 If only they were wise, if only this was clear to them, and they would give thought to their future!
Gid de vare vise, saa vilde de have Forstand paa dette, de vilde betænke, hvad Ende det vilde tage med dem.
30 How would it be possible for one to overcome a thousand, and two to send ten thousand in flight, if their rock had not let them go, if the Lord had not given them up?
Hvorledes skulde een forfølge Tusinde, og to slaa ti Tusinde paa Flugt, dersom ikke deres Klippe havde solgt dem, og Herren havde overantvordet dem?
31 For their rock is not like our Rock, even our haters themselves being judges.
Thi deres Klippe er ikke som vor Klippe, selv naar vore Fjender ere Dommere.
32 For their vine is the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are the grapes of evil, and the berries are bitter:
Thi deres Vintræ er af Sodomas Vintræ og af Gomorras Agre; deres Druer ere Giftdruer, de have beske Klaser.
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, the cruel poison of snakes.
Deres Vin er Dragegift og grum Øgleedder.
34 Is not this among my secrets, kept safe in my store-house?
Er det ikke gemt hos mig? lagt under Segl i mine Skatkamre?
35 Punishment is mine and reward, at the time of the slipping of their feet: for the day of their downfall is near, sudden will be their fate.
Hævnen og Betalingen hører mig til paa den Tid, da deres Fod skal snuble; thi deres Ulykkes Dag er nær, og hvad der er beredt for dem, skal komme hastelig.
36 For the Lord will be judge of his people, he will have pity for his servants; when he sees that their power is gone, there is no one, shut up or free.
Thi Herren skal dømme sit Folk, og han vil forbarme sig over sine Tjenere, naar han ser, at deres Magt er borte, og at det er forbi baade med den bundne og den løsladte.
37 And he will say, Where are their gods, the rock in which they put their faith?
Og han skal sige: Hvor ere deres Guder, den Klippe, som de forlode sig paa,
38 Who took the fat of their offerings, and the wine of their drink offering? Let them now come to your help, let them be your salvation.
de, som skulle æde deres Slagtofres Fedt, og som skulle drikke deres Drikofres Vin? Lader dem staa op og hjælpe eder, at der kan være et Skjul over eder!
39 See now, I myself am he; there is no other god but me: giver of death and life, wounding and making well: and no one has power to make you free from my hand.
Ser nu, at jeg er, og der er ingen Gud ved Siden af mig; jeg døder og gør levende, jeg saarer og jeg læger, og der er ingen, som redder af min Haand.
40 For lifting up my hand to heaven I say, By my unending life,
Thi jeg opløfter min Haand til Himmelen og siger: Jeg, jeg lever evindeligen.
41 If I make sharp my shining sword, and my hand is outstretched for judging, I will give punishment to those who are against me, and their right reward to my haters.
Naar jeg skærper mit Sværds Lyn, og min Haand griber til Retten, da vil jeg lade Hævnen komme tilbage over mine Fjender, og jeg vil betale dem, som mig hade.
42 I will make my arrows red with blood, my sword will be feasting on flesh, with the blood of the dead and the prisoners, of the long-haired heads of my haters.
Jeg vil gøre mine Pile drukne af Blod, og mit Sværd skal æde Kød, af den ihjelslagnes og fangnes Blod, af Fjendens Fyrsters Hoved.
43 Be glad, O you his people, over the nations; for he will take payment for the blood of his servants, and will give punishment to his haters, and take away the sin of his land, for his people.
Fryder eder, I Hedninger, over hans Folk! thi han skal hævne sine Tjeneres Blod og lade Hævnen komme tilbage over sine Fjender og sone sit Land, sit Folk.
44 So Moses said all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and Hoshea, the son of Nun.
Og Mose kom og talede alle Ordene af denne Sang for Folkets Øren, han og Hosea, Nuns Søn.
45 And after saying all this to the people,
Og da Mose havde fuldendt at tale alle disse Ord til al Israel,
46 Moses said to them, Let the words which I have said to you today go deep into your hearts, and give orders to your children to do every word of this law.
sagde han til dem: Lægger alle de Ord paa eders Hjerte, som jeg vidner for eder i Dag, hvilke I skulle byde eders Børn at tage Vare paa, saa at de gøre efter alle denne Lovs Ord.
47 And this is no small thing for you, but it is your life, and through this you may make your days long in the land which you are going over Jordan to take for your heritage.
Thi det er ikke et ørkesløst Ord for eder; thi det er eders Liv; og ved dette Ord skulle I forlænge eders Dage i det Land, til hvilket I drage over Jordanen for at eje det.
48 That same day the Lord said to Moses,
Og Herren talede til Mose paa samme Dag og sagde:
49 Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo in the land of Moab opposite Jericho; there you may see the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel for their heritage:
Gak op paa dette Abarims Bjerg, paa Nebo Bjerg, som er i Moabs Land, som er lige for Jeriko, og bese det Land Kanaan, hvilket jeg giver Israels Børn til Ejendom,
50 And let death come to you on the mountain where you are going, and be put to rest with your people; as death came to Aaron, your brother, on Mount Hor, where he was put to rest with his people:
og dø paa det Bjerg, som du skal stige op paa, og bliv samlet til dine Folk, ligesom Aron din Broder døde paa det Bjerg Hor og blev samlet til sine Folk,
51 Because of your sin against me before the children of Israel at the waters of Meribath Kadesh in the waste land of Zin; because you did not keep my name holy among the children of Israel.
fordi I forgrebe eder imod mig midt iblandt Israels Børn ved Meribas Vand i Kades, i den Ørk Zin, fordi I ikke helligede mig midt iblandt Israels Børn.
52 So you will see the land before you, but you will not go into the land which I am giving to the children of Israel.
Thi du skal bese Landet tværs over fra, men du skal ikke komme derhen, ind i det Land, som jeg giver Israels Børn.
