Fimmta bók Móse 32-34
Icelandic Bible
32 Hlustið, þér himnar, því að nú mun ég mæla, og jörðin hlýði á mál munns míns!
2 Kenning mín streymi sem regn, ræða mín drjúpi sem dögg, eins og gróðrarskúrir á grængresið og sem þungaregn á jurtirnar.
3 Ég vil kunngjöra nafn Drottins: Gefið Guði vorum dýrðina!
4 Bjargið _ fullkomin eru verk hans, því að allir vegir hans eru réttlæti. Trúfastur Guð og tállaus, réttlátur og réttvís er hann.
5 Synir hans eru spilltir orðnir, blettur er á þeim, rangsnúin og rammspillt kynslóð.
6 Ætlið þér að launa Drottni þannig, þú heimska og óvitra þjóð? Er hann ekki faðir þinn, sá er skóp þig, sá er gjörði þig og myndaði?
7 Minnstu fyrri tíða, hyggið að árum liðinna alda! Spyr föður þinn, að hann megi fræða þig, gamalmenni þín, að þau megi segja þér frá!
8 Þá er hinn hæsti skipti óðulum meðal þjóðanna, þá er hann greindi í sundur mannanna börn, þá skipaði hann löndum þjóðflokkanna eftir tölu Ísraels sona.
9 Því að hlutskipti Drottins er lýður hans, Jakob úthlutuð arfleifð hans.
10 Hann fann hann í eyðimerkurlandi og í óbyggðum, innan um öskrið á öræfunum. Hann verndaði hann, hugði að honum, hann varðveitti hann sem sjáaldur auga síns.
11 Eins og örn, sem vekur upp hreiður sitt og svífur yfir ungum sínum, svo útbreiddi hann vængi sína, tók hann upp og bar hann á flugfjöðrum sínum.
12 Drottinn einn leiddi hann, og enginn annar guð var með honum.
13 Hann lét hann fram bruna á hæðum landsins og lét hann njóta ávaxtar akursins. Hann lét hann sjúga hunang úr klettunum og olífuolíu úr tinnusteinunum.
14 Hann ól hann á kúarjóma og sauðamjólk, ásamt feitu kjöti af dilkum og hrútum. Hann gaf honum Basan-uxa og kjarnhafra, ásamt nýrnafeiti hveitisins. Þrúgnablóð drakkst þú sem kostavín.
15 En Jesjúrún varð feitur og sparkaði aftur undan sér, _ feitur varðst þú, digur og sællegur! Þá hafnaði hann Guði, skapara sínum, og fyrirleit bjarg hjálpræðis síns.
16 Þeir vöktu vandlæti hans með útlendum guðum, egndu hann til reiði með andstyggðum.
17 Þeir færðu fórnir vættum, sem ekki eru Guð, guðum, sem þeir höfðu eigi þekkt, nýjum guðum, nýlega upp komnum, er feður yðar höfðu engan beyg af.
18 Um bjargið, sem þig hafði getið, hirtir þú ekki og gleymdir þeim Guði, sem þig hafði alið.
19 Drottinn sá það og hafnaði þeim af gremju við sonu sína og dætur.
20 Og hann sagði: Ég vil byrgja auglit mitt fyrir þeim, ég ætla að sjá, hver afdrif þeirra verða. Því að þeir eru rangsnúin kynslóð, börn, sem engin tryggð er í.
21 Þeir hafa vakið vandlæti mitt með því, sem ekki er Guð, egnt mig til reiði með hinum fánýtu goðum sínum. Nú mun ég vekja vandlæti þeirra með því, sem ekki er þjóð, egna þá til reiði með heiðnum lýð.
22 Því að eldur kviknaði í nösum mér, og hann logar lengst niður í undirheima, eyðir jörðina og ávöxtu hennar og kveikir í undirstöðum fjallanna.
23 Ég vil hrúga yfir þá margs konar böli, eyða á þá öllum örvum mínum.
24 Þótt þeir séu megraðir af hungri og tærðir af sýki og eitraðri sótt, þá mun ég hleypa tönnum villidýranna á þá, ásamt eitri þeirra, er í duftinu skríða.
25 Sverðið mun eyða þeim úti fyrir, en hræðslan í húsum inni, bæði yngismönnum og meyjum, brjóstmylkingum og gráhærðum öldungum.
26 Ég mundi segja: Ég vil blása þeim burt, afmá minning þeirra meðal mannanna! _
27 ef ég óttaðist ekki, að mér mundi gremjast við óvinina, að mótstöðumenn þeirra mundu leggja það út á annan veg, að þeir mundu segja: Hönd vor var á lofti, og það var ekki Drottinn, sem gjörði allt þetta!
28 Því að þeir eru ráðþrota þjóð, og hjá þeim eru engin hyggindi.
29 Ef þeir væru vitrir, þá mundu þeir sjá þetta, hyggja að, hver afdrif þeirra munu verða.
30 Hvernig gæti einn maður elt þúsund og tveir rekið tíu þúsundir á flótta, ef bjarg þeirra hefði ekki selt þá, ef Drottinn hefði ekki ofurselt þá?
31 Því að bjarg þeirra er ekki eins og vort bjarg _ um það geta óvinir vorir dæmt.
32 Því að vínviður þeirra er af vínviði Sódómu, af akurlöndum Gómorru. Vínber þeirra eru eitruð vínber, þrúgur þeirra beiskar.
33 Vín þeirra er höggormsólyfjan og banvænt nöðrueitur.
34 Er þetta ekki geymt hjá mér, innsiglað í forðabúrum mínum?
35 Mín er hefndin og mitt að endurgjalda, þá er þeir gjörast valtir á fótum. Því að glötunardagur þeirra er nálægur, og það ber óðfluga að, er fyrir þeim liggur.
36 Drottinn mun rétta hluta þjóðar sinnar og aumkast yfir þjóna sína, þá er hann sér, að öll hjálp er úti og enginn er framar til, þræll né frelsingi.
37 Þá mun hann segja: Hvar eru nú guðir þeirra, bjargið, er þeir leituðu hælis hjá,
38 sem átu feiti fórna þeirra og drukku vín dreypifórna þeirra? Rísi þeir nú upp og hjálpi yður, veri þeir yður nú hlíf!
39 Sjáið nú, að ég, ég er hann, og að enginn guð er til nema ég! Ég deyði og ég lífga, ég særi og ég græði, og enginn getur frelsað af minni hendi.
40 Því að ég lyfti hendi minni til himins og segi: Svo sannarlega sem ég lifi eilíflega, _
41 þegar ég hefi hvesst mitt blikandi sverð, og ég legg hönd á dóminn, þá mun ég efna hefnd við mótstöðumenn mína og endurgjalda þeim, er hata mig!
42 Ég vil gjöra örvar mínar drukknar af blóði, og sverð mitt skal hold eta _ af blóði veginna manna og hertekinna, af höfði fyrirliða óvinanna.
43 Vegsamið, þjóðir, lýð hans! því að hann hefnir blóðs þjóna sinna. Hann efnir hefnd við mótstöðumenn sína og friðþægir fyrir land síns lýðs.
44 Móse kom og flutti lýðnum öll orð þessa kvæðis í heyranda hljóði, hann og Hósea Núnsson.
45 Og er Móse hafði lokið að mæla öll þessi orð til alls Ísraels,
46 sagði hann við þá: "Hugfestið öll þau orð, sem ég flyt yður í dag, til þess að þér getið brýnt þau fyrir börnum yðar, svo að þau gæti þess að halda öll orð þessa lögmáls.
47 Því að það er ekkert hégómamál fyrir yður, heldur er það líf yðar, og fyrir þetta orð munuð þér lifa langa ævi í landinu, sem þér haldið nú inn í yfir Jórdan til þess að taka það til eignar."
48 Þann hinn sama dag talaði Drottinn við Móse og sagði:
49 "Far þú þarna upp á Abarímfjall, upp á Nebófjall, sem er í Móabslandi gegnt Jeríkó, og lít yfir Kanaanland, sem ég gef Ísraelsmönnum til eignar.
50 Og þú skalt deyja á fjallinu, er þú fer upp á, og safnast til þíns fólks, eins og Aron bróðir þinn dó á Hórfjalli og safnaðist til síns fólks,
51 af því að þið sýnduð mér ótrúmennsku mitt á meðal Ísraelsmanna hjá Meríbavötnum við Kades í Síneyðimörk, af því að þið helguðuð mig ekki meðal Ísraelsmanna.
52 Því að handan yfir skalt þú fá að líta landið, en inn í landið, sem ég gef Ísraelsmönnum, skalt þú ekki komast."
33 Þessi er blessunin, er guðsmaðurinn Móse blessaði með Ísraelsmenn, áður en hann andaðist:
2 Drottinn kom frá Sínaí og rann upp fyrir þeim á Seír. Hann lét ljós sitt skína frá Paranfjöllum og kom frá hinum helgu tíu þúsundum, eldingarnar í hægri hendi hans voru þeim til varnar.
3 Já, hann elskar sinn lýð, allir hans heilögu eru í hans hendi. Og þeir fara eftir leiðsögu þinni, sérhver þeirra meðtekur af orðum þínum.
4 Móse setti oss lögmál, óðal Jakobs safnaðar.
5 Og Drottinn varð konungur í Jesjúrún, þá er höfðingjar lýðsins söfnuðust saman, ættkvíslir Ísraels allar samt.
6 Lifi Rúben og deyi ekki, þannig að menn hans verði fáir að tölu.
7 Og þetta er blessunin um Júda: Heyr, Drottinn, bænir Júda, og leið hann aftur til þjóðar sinnar, _ með höndum sínum hefir hann barist fyrir hana _ og ver þú honum hjálp gegn fjendum hans.
8 Og um Leví sagði hann: Túmmím þín og úrím heyra mönnum hollvinar þíns, þess er þú reyndir hjá Massa og barðist gegn hjá Meríbavötnum,
9 _ heyra þeim, er sagði um föður og móður: Ég sá þau ekki, er eigi kannaðist við bræður sína og leit eigi við börnum sínum. Því að þeir varðveittu orð þitt og héldu sáttmála þinn.
10 Þeir kenna Jakob dóma þína og Ísrael lögmál þitt, þeir bera reykelsi fyrir vit þín og alfórn á altari þitt.
11 Blessa, Drottinn, styrkleik hans, og lát þér þóknast verk handa hans. Myl sundur lendar óvina hans og þeirra er hata hann, svo að þeir fái eigi risið upp aftur.
12 Um Benjamín sagði hann: Ljúflingur Drottins býr óhultur hjá honum. Hann verndar hann alla daga og hefir tekið sér bólfestu milli hálsa hans.
13 Um Jósef sagði hann: Blessað af Drottni er land hans með himinsins dýrmætustu gjöf, dögginni, og með djúpinu, er undir hvílir,
14 með hinu dýrmætasta, er sólin framleiðir, og með hinu dýrmætasta, sem tunglin láta spretta,
15 með hinu besta á hinum eldgömlu fjöllum og með hinu dýrmætasta á hinum eilífu hæðum,
16 með hinu dýrmætasta af jörðinni og öllu því, sem á henni er, og með þóknun hans, sem bjó í þyrnirunninum. Þetta komi yfir höfuð Jósefs og í hvirfil hans, sem er höfðingi meðal bræðra sinna!
17 Prýðilegur er frumgetinn uxi hans, og horn hans eru sem horn vísundarins. Með þeim rekur hann þjóðir undir, allt til endimarka jarðarinnar. Þetta eru tíu þúsundir Efraíms, og þetta eru þúsundir Manasse!
18 Um Sebúlon sagði hann: Gleðst þú, Sebúlon, yfir sæförum þínum, og þú, Íssakar, yfir tjöldum þínum!
19 Þjóðflokkum bjóða þeir til fjallsins, þar fórna þeir réttum fórnum, því að þeir munu sjúga í sig nægtir hafsins og hina huldustu fjársjóðu sandsins.
20 Um Gað sagði hann: Blessaður sé sá, sem veitir Gað landrými! Hann hefir lagst niður sem ljónynja, og rífur sundur arm og hvirfil.
21 Hann valdi sér landið, er fyrst var tekið, því að þar var landshluti geymdur ætthöfðingja. Og hann kom með höfðingjum lýðsins, hann framkvæmdi réttlæti Drottins og dóma hans ásamt Ísrael.
22 Um Dan sagði hann: Dan er ljónshvolpur, sem kemur stökkvandi frá Basan.
23 Um Naftalí sagði hann: Naftalí, saddur velþóknunar og fullur af blessun Drottins, tak þú sjó og Suðurland til eignar!
24 Um Asser sagði hann: Blessaðastur af sonunum sé Asser! Veri hann eftirlæti bræðra sinna og vökvi fót sinn í olíu!
25 Slár þínar séu af járni og eir, og afl þitt réni eigi fyrr en ævina þrýtur!
26 Enginn er sem Guð Jesjúrúns, er ekur yfir himininn til hjálpar þér og á skýjunum í tign sinni!
27 Hæli er hinn eilífi Guð, og hið neðra eru eilífir armar. Hann stökkti óvinum þínum undan þér og sagði: Gjöreyð!
28 Og síðan bjó Ísrael óhultur, lind Jakobs ein sér, í landi korns og vínlagar, þar sem himinninn lætur dögg drjúpa.
29 Heill þér, Ísrael! Hver er sem þú? _ lýður, sigursæll fyrir hjálp Drottins! Hann er skjöldur þíns fulltingis, og hann er sverð tignar þinnar. Óvinir þínir munu smjaðra fyrir þér, og þú munt fram bruna á hæðum þeirra.
34 Og Móse gekk neðan af Móabsheiðum upp á Nebófjall, Pisgatind, sem er gegnt Jeríkó. Þaðan sýndi Drottinn honum gjörvallt landið: Gíleað allt til Dan,
2 allt Naftalí og Efraímsland og Manasse, og allt Júdaland allt til vesturhafsins,
3 og Suðurlandið og Jórdan-sléttlendið, dalinn hjá Jeríkó, pálmaborginni, allt til Sóar.
4 Og Drottinn sagði við hann: "Þetta er landið, sem ég sór Abraham, Ísak og Jakob, er ég sagði: ,Niðjum þínum vil ég gefa það!` Ég hefi látið þig líta það eigin augum, en yfir um þangað skalt þú ekki komast."
5 Móse, þjónn Drottins, dó þar í Móabslandi, eins og Drottinn hafði sagt,
6 og hann var grafinn í dalnum í Móabslandi, gegnt Bet Peór, en enginn maður veit enn til þessa dags, hvar gröf hans er.
7 Og Móse var hundrað og tuttugu ára gamall, er hann andaðist. Eigi glapnaði honum sýn, og eigi þvarr þróttur hans.
8 Ísraelsmenn grétu Móse á Móabsheiðum í þrjátíu daga, þá enduðu sorgargrátsdagarnir eftir Móse.
9 En Jósúa Núnsson var fullur vísdómsanda, því að Móse hafði lagt hendur sínar yfir hann, og Ísraelsmenn hlýddu honum og gjörðu svo sem Drottinn hafði boðið Móse.
10 En eigi reis framar upp í Ísrael annar eins spámaður og Móse, er Drottinn umgekkst augliti til auglitis,
11 þegar litið er til allra þeirra tákna og undra, er Drottinn hafði sent hann til að gjöra í Egyptalandi á Faraó og öllum þjónum hans og öllu landi hans,
Deuteronomy 32-34
New International Version
Deuteronomy 32-34
New International Version
32 Listen,(A) you heavens,(B) and I will speak;
hear, you earth, the words of my mouth.(C)
2 Let my teaching fall like rain(D)
and my words descend like dew,(E)
like showers(F) on new grass,
like abundant rain on tender plants.
3 I will proclaim(G) the name of the Lord.(H)
Oh, praise the greatness(I) of our God!
4 He is the Rock,(J) his works are perfect,(K)
and all his ways are just.
A faithful God(L) who does no wrong,
upright(M) and just is he.(N)
5 They are corrupt and not his children;
to their shame they are a warped and crooked generation.(O)
6 Is this the way you repay(P) the Lord,
you foolish(Q) and unwise people?(R)
Is he not your Father,(S) your Creator,[a]
who made you and formed you?(T)
7 Remember the days of old;(U)
consider the generations long past.(V)
Ask your father and he will tell you,
your elders, and they will explain to you.(W)
8 When the Most High(X) gave the nations their inheritance,
when he divided all mankind,(Y)
he set up boundaries(Z) for the peoples
according to the number of the sons of Israel.[b](AA)
9 For the Lord’s portion(AB) is his people,
Jacob his allotted inheritance.(AC)
10 In a desert(AD) land he found him,
in a barren and howling waste.(AE)
He shielded(AF) him and cared for him;
he guarded him as the apple of his eye,(AG)
11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest
and hovers over its young,(AH)
that spreads its wings to catch them
and carries them aloft.(AI)
12 The Lord alone led(AJ) him;(AK)
no foreign god was with him.(AL)
13 He made him ride on the heights(AM) of the land
and fed him with the fruit of the fields.
He nourished him with honey from the rock,(AN)
and with oil(AO) from the flinty crag,
14 with curds and milk from herd and flock
and with fattened lambs and goats,
with choice rams of Bashan(AP)
and the finest kernels of wheat.(AQ)
You drank the foaming blood of the grape.(AR)
15 Jeshurun[c](AS) grew fat(AT) and kicked;
filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.
They abandoned(AU) the God who made them
and rejected the Rock(AV) their Savior.
16 They made him jealous(AW) with their foreign gods
and angered(AX) him with their detestable idols.
17 They sacrificed(AY) to false gods,(AZ) which are not God—
gods they had not known,(BA)
gods that recently appeared,(BB)
gods your ancestors did not fear.
18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;
you forgot(BC) the God who gave you birth.
19 The Lord saw this and rejected them(BD)
because he was angered by his sons and daughters.(BE)
20 “I will hide my face(BF) from them,” he said,
“and see what their end will be;
for they are a perverse generation,(BG)
children who are unfaithful.(BH)
21 They made me jealous(BI) by what is no god
and angered me with their worthless idols.(BJ)
I will make them envious by those who are not a people;
I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.(BK)
22 For a fire will be kindled by my wrath,(BL)
one that burns down to the realm of the dead below.(BM)
It will devour(BN) the earth and its harvests(BO)
and set afire the foundations of the mountains.(BP)
23 “I will heap calamities(BQ) on them
and spend my arrows(BR) against them.
24 I will send wasting famine(BS) against them,
consuming pestilence(BT) and deadly plague;(BU)
I will send against them the fangs of wild beasts,(BV)
the venom of vipers(BW) that glide in the dust.(BX)
25 In the street the sword will make them childless;
in their homes terror(BY) will reign.(BZ)
The young men and young women will perish,
the infants and those with gray hair.(CA)
26 I said I would scatter(CB) them
and erase their name from human memory,(CC)
27 but I dreaded the taunt of the enemy,
lest the adversary misunderstand(CD)
and say, ‘Our hand has triumphed;
the Lord has not done all this.’”(CE)
28 They are a nation without sense,
there is no discernment(CF) in them.
29 If only they were wise and would understand this(CG)
and discern what their end will be!(CH)
30 How could one man chase a thousand,
or two put ten thousand to flight,(CI)
unless their Rock had sold them,(CJ)
unless the Lord had given them up?(CK)
31 For their rock is not like our Rock,(CL)
as even our enemies concede.(CM)
32 Their vine comes from the vine of Sodom(CN)
and from the fields of Gomorrah.
Their grapes are filled with poison,(CO)
and their clusters with bitterness.(CP)
33 Their wine is the venom of serpents,
the deadly poison of cobras.(CQ)
34 “Have I not kept this in reserve
and sealed it in my vaults?(CR)
35 It is mine to avenge;(CS) I will repay.(CT)
In due time their foot will slip;(CU)
their day of disaster is near
and their doom rushes upon them.(CV)”
36 The Lord will vindicate his people(CW)
and relent(CX) concerning his servants(CY)
when he sees their strength is gone
and no one is left, slave(CZ) or free.[d]
37 He will say: “Now where are their gods,
the rock they took refuge in,(DA)
38 the gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offerings?(DB)
Let them rise up to help you!
Let them give you shelter!
39 “See now that I myself am he!(DC)
There is no god besides me.(DD)
I put to death(DE) and I bring to life,(DF)
I have wounded and I will heal,(DG)
and no one can deliver out of my hand.(DH)
40 I lift my hand(DI) to heaven and solemnly swear:
As surely as I live forever,(DJ)
41 when I sharpen my flashing sword(DK)
and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance(DL) on my adversaries
and repay those who hate me.(DM)
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,(DN)
while my sword devours flesh:(DO)
the blood of the slain and the captives,
the heads of the enemy leaders.”
43 Rejoice,(DP) you nations, with his people,[e][f]
for he will avenge the blood of his servants;(DQ)
he will take vengeance on his enemies(DR)
and make atonement for his land and people.(DS)
44 Moses came with Joshua[g](DT) son of Nun and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people. 45 When Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel, 46 he said to them, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day,(DU) so that you may command(DV) your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. 47 They are not just idle words for you—they are your life.(DW) By them you will live long(DX) in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
Moses to Die on Mount Nebo
48 On that same day the Lord told Moses,(DY) 49 “Go up into the Abarim(DZ) Range to Mount Nebo(EA) in Moab, across from Jericho,(EB) and view Canaan,(EC) the land I am giving the Israelites as their own possession. 50 There on the mountain that you have climbed you will die(ED) and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died(EE) on Mount Hor(EF) and was gathered to his people. 51 This is because both of you broke faith with me in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh(EG) in the Desert of Zin(EH) and because you did not uphold my holiness among the Israelites.(EI) 52 Therefore, you will see the land only from a distance;(EJ) you will not enter(EK) the land I am giving to the people of Israel.”
Moses Blesses the Tribes(EL)
33 This is the blessing(EM) that Moses the man of God(EN) pronounced on the Israelites before his death. 2 He said:
“The Lord came from Sinai(EO)
and dawned over them from Seir;(EP)
he shone forth(EQ) from Mount Paran.(ER)
He came with[h] myriads of holy ones(ES)
from the south, from his mountain slopes.[i]
3 Surely it is you who love(ET) the people;
all the holy ones are in your hand.(EU)
At your feet they all bow down,(EV)
and from you receive instruction,
4 the law that Moses gave us,(EW)
the possession of the assembly of Jacob.(EX)
5 He was king(EY) over Jeshurun[j](EZ)
when the leaders of the people assembled,
along with the tribes of Israel.
7 And this he said about Judah:(FB)
“Hear, Lord, the cry of Judah;
bring him to his people.
With his own hands he defends his cause.
Oh, be his help against his foes!”
8 About Levi(FC) he said:
“Your Thummim and Urim(FD) belong
to your faithful servant.(FE)
You tested(FF) him at Massah;
you contended with him at the waters of Meribah.(FG)
9 He said of his father and mother,(FH)
‘I have no regard for them.’
He did not recognize his brothers
or acknowledge his own children,
but he watched over your word
and guarded your covenant.(FI)
10 He teaches(FJ) your precepts to Jacob
and your law to Israel.(FK)
He offers incense before you(FL)
and whole burnt offerings on your altar.(FM)
11 Bless all his skills, Lord,
and be pleased with the work of his hands.(FN)
Strike down those who rise against him,
his foes till they rise no more.”
12 About Benjamin(FO) he said:
“Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him,(FP)
for he shields him all day long,(FQ)
and the one the Lord loves(FR) rests between his shoulders.(FS)”
13 About Joseph(FT) he said:
“May the Lord bless his land
with the precious dew from heaven above
and with the deep waters that lie below;(FU)
14 with the best the sun brings forth
and the finest the moon can yield;
15 with the choicest gifts of the ancient mountains(FV)
and the fruitfulness of the everlasting hills;
16 with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness
and the favor of him who dwelt in the burning bush.(FW)
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,
on the brow of the prince among[l] his brothers.(FX)
17 In majesty he is like a firstborn bull;
his horns(FY) are the horns of a wild ox.(FZ)
With them he will gore(GA) the nations,
even those at the ends of the earth.
Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim;(GB)
such are the thousands of Manasseh.(GC)”
18 About Zebulun(GD) he said:
“Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
and you, Issachar,(GE) in your tents.
19 They will summon peoples to the mountain(GF)
and there offer the sacrifices of the righteous;(GG)
they will feast on the abundance of the seas,(GH)
on the treasures hidden in the sand.”
20 About Gad(GI) he said:
“Blessed is he who enlarges Gad’s domain!(GJ)
Gad lives there like a lion,
tearing at arm or head.
21 He chose the best land for himself;(GK)
the leader’s portion was kept for him.(GL)
When the heads of the people assembled,
he carried out the Lord’s righteous will,(GM)
and his judgments concerning Israel.”
22 About Dan(GN) he said:
“Dan is a lion’s cub,
springing out of Bashan.”
23 About Naphtali(GO) he said:
“Naphtali is abounding with the favor of the Lord
and is full of his blessing;
he will inherit southward to the lake.”
24 About Asher(GP) he said:
“Most blessed of sons is Asher;
let him be favored by his brothers,
and let him bathe his feet in oil.(GQ)
25 The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze,(GR)
and your strength will equal your days.(GS)
26 “There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,(GT)
who rides(GU) across the heavens to help you(GV)
and on the clouds(GW) in his majesty.(GX)
27 The eternal(GY) God is your refuge,(GZ)
and underneath are the everlasting(HA) arms.
He will drive out your enemies before you,(HB)
saying, ‘Destroy them!’(HC)
28 So Israel will live in safety;(HD)
Jacob will dwell[m] secure
in a land of grain and new wine,
where the heavens drop dew.(HE)
29 Blessed are you, Israel!(HF)
Who is like you,(HG)
a people saved by the Lord?(HH)
He is your shield and helper(HI)
and your glorious sword.
Your enemies will cower before you,
and you will tread on their heights.(HJ)”
The Death of Moses
34 Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo(HK) from the plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah,(HL) across from Jericho.(HM) There the Lord showed(HN) him the whole land—from Gilead to Dan,(HO) 2 all of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea,(HP) 3 the Negev(HQ) and the whole region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms,(HR) as far as Zoar.(HS) 4 Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised on oath(HT) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(HU) when I said, ‘I will give it(HV) to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross(HW) over into it.”
5 And Moses the servant of the Lord(HX) died(HY) there in Moab, as the Lord had said. 6 He buried him[n] in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor,(HZ) but to this day no one knows where his grave is.(IA) 7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old(IB) when he died, yet his eyes were not weak(IC) nor his strength gone.(ID) 8 The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab(IE) thirty days,(IF) until the time of weeping and mourning(IG) was over.
9 Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit[o] of wisdom(IH) because Moses had laid his hands on him.(II) So the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord had commanded Moses.
10 Since then, no prophet(IJ) has risen in Israel like Moses,(IK) whom the Lord knew face to face,(IL) 11 who did all those signs and wonders(IM) the Lord sent him to do in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his officials(IN) and to his whole land. 12 For no one has(IO) ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds(IP) that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.

King James Version
32 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12 So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19 And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35 To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
44 And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
46 And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
48 And the Lord spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
49 Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:
50 And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:
51 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52 Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
33 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.
4 Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
6 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.
7 And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.
8 And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
9 Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
11 Bless, Lord, his substance, and accept the work of his hands; smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
12 And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
19 They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.
20 And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.
21 And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the Lord, and his judgments with Israel.
22 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the Lord: possess thou the west and the south.
24 And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
26 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
29 Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
34 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the Lord shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
3 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
4 And the Lord said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
5 So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.
6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses.
10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
11 In all the signs and the wonders, which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.

91 Sæll er sá, er situr í skjóli Hins hæsta, sá er gistir í skugga Hins almáttka,
2 sá er segir við Drottin: "Hæli mitt og háborg, Guð minn, er ég trúi á!"
3 Hann frelsar þig úr snöru fuglarans, frá drepsótt glötunarinnar,
4 hann skýlir þér með fjöðrum sínum, undir vængjum hans mátt þú hælis leita, trúfesti hans er skjöldur og verja.
5 Eigi þarft þú að óttast ógnir næturinnar, eða örina, sem flýgur um daga,
6 drepsóttina, er reikar um í dimmunni, eða sýkina, er geisar um hádegið.
7 Þótt þúsund falli þér við hlið og tíu þúsund þér til hægri handar, þá nær það ekki til þín.
8 Þú horfir aðeins á með augunum, sér hversu óguðlegum er endurgoldið.
9 Þitt hæli er Drottinn, þú hefir gjört Hinn hæsta að athvarfi þínu.
10 Engin ógæfa hendir þig, og engin plága nálgast tjald þitt.
11 Því að þín vegna býður hann út englum sínum til þess að gæta þín á öllum vegum þínum.
12 Þeir munu bera þig á höndum sér, til þess að þú steytir ekki fót þinn við steini.
13 Þú skalt stíga ofan á höggorma og nöðrur, troða fótum ljón og dreka.
14 "Af því að hann leggur ást á mig, mun ég frelsa hann, ég bjarga honum, af því að hann þekkir nafn mitt.
15 Ákalli hann mig, mun ég bænheyra hann, ég er hjá honum í neyðinni, ég frelsa hann og gjöri hann vegsamlegan.
16 Ég metta hann með fjöld lífdaga og læt hann sjá hjálpræði mitt."

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter(A) of the Most High
will rest in the shadow(B) of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge(C) and my fortress,(D)
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare(E)
and from the deadly pestilence.(F)
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;(G)
his faithfulness will be your shield(H) and rampart.
5 You will not fear(I) the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.(J)
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm(K) will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels(L) concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;(M)
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.(N)
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.(O)

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
