2 Mosebog 30
1 Og du skal gøre et Røgelsealter til Røgelse, af Sithimtræ skal du gøre det;
“[Tell the skilled workers to] make an altar from acacia wood, for burning incense.
2 een Alen langt og een Alen bredt, det skal være firkantet og to Alen højt; dets Horn skulle være ud af eet med det.
It is to be square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It is to be (3 feet/90 cm.) high. [Tell them to] make [a projection that looks like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections must be carved from the same block of wood that the altar [is made from].
3 Og du skal beslaa det med purt Guld, dets Overdel og dets Sider rundt omkring og dets Horn; du skal og gøre en Guldkrans til det trindt omkring.
[They must] cover the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. Put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].
4 Og to Guldringe skal du gøre til det, under dets Krans, paa begge Sidestykkerne deraf, du skal gøre dem paa begge Sider derpaa; og man skal stikke Stænger deri for at bære det med dem.
[They must] make two gold rings for carrying the altar. [They must] attach them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. These rings are for the poles for carrying the altar.
5 Du skal og gøre Stængerne af Sithimtræ og beslaa dem med Guld.
[Tell them to] make these [two] poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold.
6 Og det skal du sætte foran Forhænget, som er for Vidnesbyrdets Ark, foran Naadestolen, som er oven over Vidnesbyrdet, hvor jeg vil komme til dig.
[They must] put this altar outside the curtain that hangs in front of the sacred chest and its lid. That is the place where I will talk with you.
7 Og paa det skal Aron lade røge med Røgelse af kostelige Urter; hver Morgen, naar han tillaver Lamperne, skal han lade røge med den.
Aaron must burn sweet-smelling incense on this altar. He must burn some every morning when he takes care of the lamps,
8 Og naar Aron tænder Lamperne imellem de tvende Aftener, skal han lade røge med den; det skal være en bestandig Røgelse for Herrens Ansigt hos eders Efterkommere.
and he must burn some in the evening when he lights the lamps. The incense must be burned continually, throughout all future generations.
9 I skulle ingen fremmed Røgelse antænde derpaa eller Brændoffer eller Madoffer; og Drikoffer skulle I ikke udgyde derpaa.
The priests must not burn on the altar any incense that I have not told you to burn, or burn any animal on it, or any grain offering for me, or pour any wine on it as an offering.
10 Og Aron skal gøre en Forligelse for dets Horn, een Gang om Aaret; med Forligelsens Syndoffers Blod skal han gøre Forligelse een Gang om Aaret for det, hos eders Efterkommere; det er en højhellig Ting for Herren.
One time every year Aaron must perform the ritual for making this altar pure. He must do it by putting on its four projections some of the blood from the animal that was sacrificed (to remove the guilt of the people’s sins/so that the people would no longer be guilty for sins). This ritual is to be done by Aaron and his descendants throughout all future generations. This altar must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.”
11 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
12 Naar du optager Hovedsummen paa Israels Børn ved deres Tælling, da skal hver give Herren Løsepenge for sin Sjæl, naar man tæller dem, at ingen Plage skal komme paa dem, naar man tæller dem.
“When your [leaders] (take a census of/count) the Israeli people, each man [who is counted] must pay to me a price to save his life. They must do this in order that no disaster will happen to them while the people are being counted.
13 Dette skulle de give, hver som gaar over til de talte: En halv Sekel, efter Helligdommens Sekel; en Sekel gælder tyve Gera, en halv Sekel skal være en Offergave for Herren.
Every man who is counted must pay to me (0.2 ounces/5.7 grams) of silver. They must use the official standard when they weigh the silver.
14 Hver som gaar over til de talte, fra tyve Aar gammel og derover, skal give Herren en Offergave.
All the men who are at least 20 years old must pay this amount to me when the people are counted.
15 Den rige skal ikke give mere og den fattige ikke give mindre end en halv Sekel, for at give Herren en Offergave, til at gøre Forligelse for eders Sjæle.
Rich men must not pay more than this amount, and poor men must not pay less than this amount, when they pay this money to save their lives.
16 Og du skal tage Forligelsens Penge af Israels Børn og give dem til Forsamlingens Pauluns Tjeneste; og det skal være Israels Børn til en Ihukommelse for Herrens Ansigt, til at gøre Forligelse for eders Sjæle.
Your leaders must collect this money from the Israeli people and give it to [those who will] take care of the Sacred Tent. This money is the payment for the lives of those who take care of the Sacred Tent, (to enable me not to forget them/and then I will remember to protect them).”
17 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me,
18 Du skal og gøre en Kedel af Kobber og dens Fod af Kobber, at man kan to sig; og du skal sætte den imellem Forsamlingens Paulun og imellem Alteret og komme Vand derudi.
“[Tell the skilled workers to] make a bronze washbasin and a bronze base for it. [They must] put it between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
19 Og Aron og hans Sønner skulle to deres Hænder og deres Fødder deraf.
Aaron and his sons must ritually wash their hands and their feet with this water
20 Naar de gaa ind i Forsamlingens Paulun, skulle de to sig med Vand, at de ikke skulle dø; eller naar de nærme sig til Alteret for at tjene og at antænde Ildoffer for Herren.
before they enter the Sacred Tent and before they come to the altar to sacrifice offerings that will be burned on it. If [they do that], they will not die [because of disobeying my instructions].
21 Og de skulle to deres Hænder og deres Fødder, at de ikke skulle dø; og det skal være dem en evig Skik, ham og hans Sæd, hos deres Efterkommere.
They must wash their hands and their feet, in order that they will not die. They and the males descended from them must obey this ritual throughout all generations.”
22 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 Tag du dig ogsaa de bedste Urter, af den ædleste Myrra fem Hundrede Sekel, og halvt saa meget vellugtende Kanelbark, to Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Sekel, og vellugtende Kalmus, to Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Sekel,
“[Tell the people to] collect some of the finest spices— (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (liquid myrrh/sweet-smelling sap named myrrh), (6 pounds/3 kg.) of sweet-smelling cinnamon, (6 pounds/3 kg.) of a sweet-smelling cane/reed,
24 og Kasia fem Hundrede Sekel, efter Helligdommens Sekel, og een Hin Olivenolie.
and (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (cassia/a sweet-smelling bark named cassia). [Be sure] that they use the official standard when they weigh these things. Tell an expert perfumer to mix these with (one gallon/four liters) of olive oil
25 Og du skal lave det til en hellig Salveolie, en Salveblanding efter Salvekogerens Kunst; det skal være en hellig Salveolie.
to make sacred oil for anointing.
26 Og dermed skal du salve Forsamlingens Paulun og Vidnesbyrdets Ark
Use this oil for anointing the Sacred Tent, the sacred chest,
27 og Bordet med alt dets Redskab og Lysestagen med dens Redskab og Røgelsealteret
the table and all the things that are used with it, the lampstand and all the things that are used to take care of it, the altar for [burning] incense,
28 og Brændofferets Alter med alt dets Redskab og Kedelen med dens Fod.
and the altar for offering sacrifices that will be burned, along with its bases and the washbasin and all the things that are used with it.
29 Og du skal hellige dem, at de blive højhellige; hver den som rører ved dem, skal være hellig.
Dedicate them by anointing them, in order that they will be completely holy/sacred. Anyone or anything that touches the altar will become taboo.
30 Du skal og salve Aron og hans Sønner og hellige dem til at gøre Præstetjeneste for mig.
And anoint Aaron and his sons. [By doing that], you will dedicate them to serve me [by being] priests.
31 Og du skal tale til Israels Børn og sige: Denne skal være mig den hellige Salvelsesolie hos eders Efterkommere.
And tell the Israeli people, ‘This oil will be my sacred anointing oil that must be used throughout all future generations.
32 Den skal ikke udgydes paa andre Menneskers Legeme, og I skulle ikke berede nogen anden efter dens Maade; den er hellig, den skal være eder hellig.
You must not pour it on the bodies of people who are not priests, and you must not make other oil to be like it by mixing the same amount of those things. This oil is sacred, and you must consider it to be sacred.’
33 Hvo som laver en Salveblanding som den, eller som lader komme deraf paa en uvedkommende, han skal udryddes af sit Folk.
I will consider that anyone who makes ointment like this [for any other purpose], and anyone who puts any of this ointment on someone who is not a priest, no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
34 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Tag dig vellugtende Urter, Stakten og Onyks og Galbane, disse vellugtende Urter og ren Virak; der skal være lige meget af hvert.
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “[Tell the people to] take equal parts of several sweet spices—stacte, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense—
35 Og du skal lave en Røgelse deraf, en Blanding efter Kunstens Regler; den skal være saltet, ren og hellig.
and tell an expert perfumer to mix them together to make some perfume. Add some salt to keep it pure and make it holy.
36 Og du skal støde noget deraf smaat og lægge deraf foran Vidnesbyrdet i Forsamlingens Paulun, hvor jeg vil tale med dig; det skal være eder højhelligt.
Beat some of it into a fine powder. Then take some of it into the Sacred Tent and sprinkle it in front of the sacred chest. You must all consider this incense to be very holy.
37 Og I skulle ikke gøre eder Røgelse, som du kunde gøre efter dennes Maade; det skal være dig helligt for Herren.
The people must not mix the same spices to make incense for themselves. This incense must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.
38 Hvo som gør en lignende for at røge dermed, han skal udryddes af sit Folk.
I will consider that anyone who makes incense like this to use it for perfume will no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
