2 Mosebog 12
1 Og Herren talede til Mose og Aron i Ægyptens Land og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
2 Denne Maaned skal være eder Maanedernes Begyndelse, den skal være eder den første iblandt Maanederne i Aaret.
Let this month be to you the first of months, the first month of the year.
3 Taler til al Israels Menighed og siger: Paa den tiende Dag i denne Maaned, da skulle de tage sig hver et Lam for hvert Fædrenehus, eet Lam for hvert Hus.
Say to all the children of Israel when they are come together, In the tenth day of this month every man is to take a lamb, by the number of their fathers' families, a lamb for every family:
4 Og dersom Huset ikke er talrigt nok til et Lam, da skal han og hans Nabo, som er næst ved hans Hus, tage et, efter Antallet paa Personerne; I skulle regne til et Lam, efter hvad enhver kan æde til.
And if the lamb is more than enough for the family, let that family and its nearest neighbour have a lamb between them, taking into account the number of persons and how much food is needed for every man.
5 Det skal være eder et lydeløst, eet Aar gammelt Vædderlam; I skulle tage det af Faarene eller af Gederne.
Let your lamb be without a mark, a male in its first year: you may take it from among the sheep or the goats:
6 Og det skal være hos eder i Forvaring til den fjortende Dag i denne Maaned; og de skulle slagte det, hele Israels Menigheds Forsamling, imellem de tvende Aftener.
Keep it till the fourteenth day of the same month, when everyone who is of the children of Israel is to put it to death between sundown and dark.
7 Og de skulle tage af Blodet og stryge paa begge Dørstolperne og paa det øverste Dørtræ af Husene, i hvilke de æde det.
Then take some of the blood and put it on the two sides of the door and over the door of the house where the meal is to be taken.
8 Og de skulle æde Kødet den samme Nat, stegt ved Ild, og med usyrede Brød til beske Urter skulle de æde det.
And let your food that night be the flesh of the lamb, cooked with fire in the oven, together with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants.
9 I skulle ikke æde noget deraf raat eller kogt i Vand, men stegt ved Ild, med dets Hoved, med dets Skanker og med dets Indvolde.
Do not take it uncooked or cooked with boiling water, but let it be cooked in the oven; its head with its legs and its inside parts.
10 Og I skulle ikke levne noget deraf til om Morgenen; men det, som levnes deraf til om Morgenen, skulle I opbrænde med Ild.
Do not keep any of it till the morning; anything which is not used is to be burned with fire.
11 Og saaledes skulle I æde det: Eders Lænder skulle være ombundne, eders Sko paa eders Fødder og eders Kæp i eders Haand; og I skulle æde det med Hast; det er Paaske for Herren.
And take your meal dressed as if for a journey, with your shoes on your feet and your sticks in your hands: take it quickly: it is the Lord's Passover.
12 Thi jeg vil gaa igennem Ægyptens Land den samme Nat og slaa alle førstefødte i Ægyptens Land, baade af Mennesker og Kvæg, og jeg vil holde Dom over alle Ægypternes Guder; jeg er Herren.
For on that night I will go through the land of Egypt, sending death on every first male child, of man and of beast, and judging all the gods of Egypt: I am the Lord.
13 Og Blodet skal være eder til et Tegn paa Husene, i hvilke I ere, og jeg vil se Blodet og gaa eder forbi; og der skal ingen Plage være iblandt eder til Fordærvelse, naar jeg slaar Ægyptens Land.
And the blood will be a sign on the houses where you are: when I see the blood I will go over you, and no evil will come on you for your destruction, when my hand is on the land of Egypt.
14 Og denne Dag skal være for eder til en Ihukommelse, og den skulle I højtideligholde som Højtid for Herren; hos eders Efterkommere til en evig Skik skulle I højtideligholde den.
And this day is to be kept in your memories: you are to keep it as a feast to the Lord through all your generations, as an order for ever.
15 I skulle æde usyrede Brød syv Dage, paa den første Dag skulle I holde op at bruge Surdejg i eders Huse; thi hver den, som æder syret Brød fra den første Dag indtil den syvende Dag, den Sjæl skal udryddes af Israel.
For seven days let your food be unleavened bread; from the first day no leaven is to be seen in your houses: whoever takes bread with leaven in it, from the first till the seventh day, will be cut off from Israel.
16 Og paa den første Dag skal der være for eder en hellig Sammenkaldelse, og paa den syvende Dag en hellig Sammenkaldelse; der skal ikke gøres noget Arbejde paa dem, alene det, som skal ædes af hver Person, det alene maa tilberedes for eder.
And on the first day there is to be a holy meeting and on the seventh day a holy meeting; no sort of work may be done on those days but only to make ready what is necessary for everyone's food.
17 Og I skulde holde de usyrede Brøds Højtid; thi paa den selvsamme Dag udførte jeg eders Hære af Ægyptens Land; derfor skulle I holde denne Dag hos eders Efterkommere til en evig Skik.
So keep the feast of unleavened bread; for on this very day I have taken your armies out of the land of Egypt: this day, then, is to be kept through all your generations by an order for ever.
18 I den første Maaned paa den fjortende Dag i Maaneden, om Aftenen skulle I æde usyrede Brød, indtil den een og tyvende Dag i Maaneden om Aftenen.
In the first month, from the evening of the fourteenth day, let your food be unleavened bread till the evening of the twenty-first day of the month.
19 Syv Dage skal der ikke findes Surdejg i eders Huse; thi hver den, som æder syret Brød, den Sjæl skal udryddes af Israels Menighed, hvad enten han er fremmed eller en indfødt i Landet.
For seven days no leaven is to be seen in your houses: for whoever takes bread which is leavened will be cut off from the people of Israel, if he is from another country or if he is an Israelite by birth.
20 Intet syret skulle I æde, I skulle æde usyrede Brød i alle eders Boliger.
Take nothing which has leaven in it; wherever you are living let your food be unleavened cakes.
21 Da kaldte Mose ad alle de ældste af Israel og sagde til dem: Henter frem og tager eder smaat Kvæg for eders Slægter og slagter Paaskelammet.
Then Moses sent for the chiefs of Israel, and said to them, See that lambs are marked out for yourselves and your families, and let the Passover lamb be put to death.
22 Og I skulle tage et Knippe Isop og dyppe i Blodet, som er i Bækkenet, og stryge paa det øverste Dørtræ og paa begge Dørstolperne af Blodet, som er i Bækkenet; og ingen af eder skal gaa ud af sit Huses Dør, før om Morgenen.
And take some hyssop and put it in the blood in the basin, touching the two sides and the top of the doorway with the blood from the basin; and let not one of you go out of his house till the morning.
23 Og Herren skal gaa igennem for at slaa Ægypterne, og han skal se Blodet paa det øverste Dørtræ og paa begge Dørstolperne, og Herren skal gaa Døren forbi og ikke tilstede Fordærveren at komme til eders Huse for at slaa.
For the Lord will go through the land, sending death on the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the two sides and the top of the door, the Lord will go over your door and will not let death come in for your destruction.
24 Derfor skulle I varetage dette til en Skik for dig og for dine Børn evindeligen.
And you are to keep this as an order to you and to your sons for ever.
25 Og det skal ske, naar I komme til Landet, som Herren skal give eder, som han har sagt, da skulle I varetage denne Tjeneste.
And when you come into the land which the Lord will make yours, as he gave his word, you are to keep this act of worship.
26 Og det skal ske, naar eders Børn sige til eder: Hvad er dette for en Tjeneste, som I have for?
And when your children say to you, What is the reason of this act of worship?
27 da skulle I sige: Det er Paaskeoffer for Herren, som gik Israels Børns Huse forbi i Ægypten, der han slog Ægypterne og friede vore Huse; saa bøjede Folket sig og tilbad.
Then you will say, This is the offering of the Lord's Passover; for he went over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he sent death on the Egyptians, and kept our families safe. And the people gave worship with bent heads.
28 Og Israels Børn gik hen og gjorde det; efter som Herren havde befalet Mose og Aron, saa gjorde de.
And the children of Israel went and did so; as the Lord had given orders to Moses and Aaron, so they did.
29 Og det skete om Midnatten, da slog Herren alle førstefødte i Ægyptens Land, fra den førstefødte for Farao, som sad paa sin Trone, indtil den førstefødte for den fangne, som var i Fængslets Hus, og alle førstefødte af Kvæget.
And in the middle of the night the Lord sent death on every first male child in the land of Egypt, from the child of Pharaoh on his seat of power to the child of the prisoner in the prison; and the first births of all the cattle.
30 Da stod Farao op samme Nat og alle hans Tjenere og alle Ægypterne, og der blev et stort Skrig i Ægypten; thi der var ikke eet Hus, at der jo var en død deri.
Then Pharaoh got up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians; and a great cry went up from Egypt; for there was not a house where someone was not dead.
31 Og han kaldte Mose og Aron om Natten og sagde: Gører eder rede, gaar ud af mit Folks Midte, baade I, saa og Israels Børn, og gaar, tjener Herren, som I have sagt.
And he sent for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Get up and go out from among my people, you and the children of Israel; go and give worship to the Lord as you have said.
32 Tager baade eders Faar og eders Øksne, som I have sagt, og gaar, og I skulle ogsaa velsigne mig.
And take your flocks and your herds as you have said, and be gone; and give me your blessing.
33 Og Ægypterne trængte haardt paa Folket for hastigen at faa dem ud af Landet; thi de sagde: Vi dø alle.
And the Egyptians were forcing the people on, to get them out of the land quickly; for they said, We are all dead men.
34 Saa tog Folket sin Dejg op, før den blev syret, deres Dejgtruge, indsvøbte i deres Kapper, paa deres Skuldre.
And the people took their bread-paste before it was leavened, putting their basins in their clothing on their backs.
35 Og Israels Børn havde gjort efter Mose Ord og begæret af Ægypterne Sølvkar og Guldkar og Klæder.
And the children of Israel had done as Moses had said; and they got from the Egyptians ornaments of silver and of gold, and clothing:
36 Og Herren havde givet Folket Naade for Ægypternes Øjne, saa at de lode dem faa dem; og de skilte Ægypterne derved.
And the Lord had given the people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians so that they gave them whatever was requested. So they took away all their goods from the Egyptians.
37 Saa rejste Israels Børn fra Raamses til Sukot, henved seks Hundrede Tusinde Mænd til Fods, foruden smaa Børn.
And the children of Israel made the journey from Rameses to Succoth; there were about six hundred thousand men on foot, as well as children.
38 Ja og en stor Hob af alle Haande Folk drog op med dem, og Faar og Øksne, ja saare meget Kvæg.
And a mixed band of people went with them; and flocks and herds in great numbers.
39 Og de bagte af den Dejg, som de førte fra Ægypten, usyrede Kager, thi den var ikke syret; fordi de vare uddrevne af Ægypten og kunde ikke tøve og havde end ikke beredt sig Tæring.
And they made unleavened cakes from the paste which they had taken out of Egypt; it was not leavened, for they had been sent out of Egypt so quickly, that they had no time to make any food ready.
40 Og Israels Børn havde boet udi Ægypten i fire Hundrede Aar og tredive Aar.
Now the children of Israel had been living in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years.
41 Og det skete, der fire Hundrede og tredive Aar vare til Ende, ja det skete lige paa den samme Dag, da udgik alle Herrens Hære af Ægyptens Land.
And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the very day, all the armies of the Lord went out of the land of Egypt.
42 Denne er en Nat, som toges i Agt af Herren for at udføre dem af Ægyptens Land; den samme Nat skal tages i Agt for Herren af alle Israels Børn hos deres Efterkommere.
It is a watch-night before the Lord who took them out of the land of Egypt: this same night is a watch-night to the Lord for all the children of Israel, through all their generations.
43 Og Herren sagde til Mose og Aron: Denne er Paaskens Skik: Ingen fremmed skal æde deraf.
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the Passover: no man who is not an Israelite is to take of it:
44 Men enhver Svend, som hører nogen til, og som er købt for Penge, maa, naar du faar omskaaret ham, æde deraf.
But every man's servant, whom he has got for money, may take of it, when he has had circumcision.
45 Ingen Gæst eller Lejesvend skal æde deraf.
A man from a strange country living among you, and a servant working for payment, may not take part in it.
46 Det skal ædes i eet Hus, du skal ikke udbære af Kødet udenfor Huset; og I skulle ikke bryde Ben derpaa.
It is to be taken in one house; not a bit of the flesh is to be taken out of the house, and no bone of it may be broken.
47 Al Israels Menighed skal gøre det.
All Israel is to keep the feast.
48 Og naar nogen fremmed opholder sig hos dig og vil holde Paaske for Herren, da skal alt hans Mandkøn omskæres, og da maa han have Adgang til at holde den og være som en indfødt i Landet; men ingen, som har Forhud, skal æde deraf.
And if a man from another country is living with you, and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let all the males of his family undergo circumcision, and then let him come near and keep it; for he will then be as one of your people; but no one without circumcision may keep it.
49 Der skal være een Lov for den indfødte og for den fremmede, som opholder sig midt iblandt eder.
The law is the same for him who is an Israelite by birth and for the man from a strange country who is living with you.
50 Og alle Israels Børn gjorde det; som Herren havde befalet Mose og Aron, saa gjorde de.
So the children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses and Aaron.
51 Og det skete lige paa den samme Dag, at Herren udførte Israels Børn af Ægyptens Land med deres Hære.
And on that very day the Lord took the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
