Ezekiel 44
1 Og han førte mig tilbage til Helligdommens ydre Port, som vender imod Østen, og den var tillukket.
Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.
2 Og Herren sagde til mig: Denne Port skal være tillukket, den skal ikke oplades, og ingen Mand skal gaa ind ad den, thi Herren, Israels Gud, er gaaet ind ad den, og den skal være tillukket.
Then said YHWH unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because YHWH, the Elohim of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
3 Hvad Fyrsten angaar, saasom han er Fyrste, han skal sidde i den for at æde Brød for Herrens Ansigt; han skal gaa ind ad Vejen til Portens Forhal og gaa ud ad samme Vej.
It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before YHWH; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
4 Og han førte mig til Porten imod Nord foran Huset, og jeg saa og se: Herrens Herlighed fyldte Herrens Hus; og jeg faldt paa mit Ansigt.
Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of YHWH filled the house of YHWH: and I fell upon my face.
5 Og Herren sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! læg det paa Hjerte, og se med dine Øjne, og hør med dine Øren alt det, som jeg taler med dig om alle Herrens Hus's Bestemmelser og om alle dets Love, og lad dit Hjerte agte paa Indgangen til Huset igennem alle Helligdommens Udgange.
And YHWH said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of YHWH, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
6 Og du skal sige til de genstridige, til Israels Hus: Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Lad det være eder nok med alle eders Vederstyggeligheder, Israels Hus!
And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
7 idet I have indført fremmede med uomskaaret Hjerte og uomskaaret Kød til at være i min Helligdom for at vanhellige mit Hus, naar I ofrede mit Brød: Det fede og Blodet, saa at de brøde min Pagt, foruden alle eders Vederstyggeligheder;
In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
8 og I toge ikke Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage i mine Helligdomme, men I satte nogle til at tage Vare paa, hvad jeg vilde have varetaget i min Helligdom, efter eders eget Tykke.
And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
9 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Ingen fremmed med uomskaaret Hjerte og uomskaaret Kød skal komme i min Helligdom, ingen af alle de fremmede, som ere iblandt Israels Børn.
Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
10 Men selv Leviterne, som fjernede sig fra mig, medens Israel for vild, da det forvildede sig fra mig eftej sine Afguder, de skulle bære deres Misgerning.
And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
11 Dog skulle de tjene udi min Helligdom som Opsynsmænd ved Husets Porte og være Tjenere i Huset; de skulle slagte Brændofferet og Slagtofferet for Folket, og de skulle staa for dets Ansigt til at tjene det.
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.
12 Fordi de have tjent dem over for deres Afguder og ere blevne Israels Hus til Anstød, saa det syndede, derfor har! jeg opløftet min Haand imod dem, siger den Herre, Herre, at de skulle bære deres Misgerning.
Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Sovereign YHWH, and they shall bear their iniquity.
13 Og de skulle ikke komme mig nær til at gøre Præstetjeneste for mig eller til at nærme sig nogen af mine hellige Ting, de højhellige Ting; men de skulle bære deres Skam og deres Vederstyggeligheder, som de have gjort.
And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
14 Og jeg vil sætte dem til at tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage i Huset ved alt Arbejde der og ved alt, hvad der skal gøres.
But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
15 Men de Præster af Levi Stamme, som ere af Zadoks Børn, og som toge Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage i min Helligdom, der Israels Børn fore vild fra mig, de skulle komme mig nær til at tjene mig; og de skulle staa for mit Ansigt til at ofre mig det fede og Blodet, siger den Herre, Herre.
But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Sovereign YHWH:
16 De skulle gaa ind i min Helligdom og nærme sig mit Bord til at tjene mig og til at tage Vare paa, hvad jeg vil have varetaget.
They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
17 Og det skal ske, naar de gaa ind ad den indre Forgaards Port, da skulle de føre sig i linnede Klæder; og ingen Uld skal komme paa dem, naar de tjene i den indre Forgaards Porte og indenfor.
And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18 Der skal være linnede Huer paa deres Hoveder, og linnede Underklæder skulle være om deres Lænder; de skulle ikke ombinde sig, saa at de komme i Sved.
They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.
19 Og naar de gaa ud i den ydre Forgaard, i den ydre Forgaard til Folket, skulle de føre sig af deres Klæder, i hvilke de gøre Tjeneste, og lægge dem i de hellige Celler, og de skulle iføre sig andre Klæder, at de ikke skulle hellige Folket med deres Klæder.
And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not mingle among the people with their garments.
20 Og de skulle ikke rage deres Hoved, ikke heller lade Haaret vokse frit; de skulle omhyggeligt klippe jieres Hovedhaar.
Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
21 Og Vin skal ingen af Præsterne drikke, naar de gaa ind i den indre Forgaard.
Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
22 Og de skulle ikke tage sig en Enke eller fraskilt til Hustru; men Jomfruer, af Israels Hus's Sæd, og den Enke, som er Enke efter en Præst, maa de tage.
Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
23 Og de skulle lære mit Folk at gøre Skel imellem det hellige og det vanhellige og kundgøre dem Forskellen imellem det urene og det rene.
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 Og ved en Trætte skulle de staa som Dommere, og efter mine Domme skulle de dømme i den; og mine Love og mine Skikke ved alle mine Højtider skulle de varetage, og mine Sabbater skulle de helligholde.
And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my Sabbaths.
25 Og ingen, af dem skal gaa til et Lig, saa at de blive urene; dog for en Fader og for en Moder og for en Søn og for en Datter, for en Broder i og for en Søster, som ikke har været gift, tør de blive urene.
And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 Men efter hans Renselse skal man tælle ham syv Dage.
And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.
27 Og paa den Dag, han gaar ind i Helligdommen, i den indre Forgaard, for at gøre Tjeneste i Helligdommen, skal han ofre sit Syndoffer, siger den Herre, Herre.
And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
28 Og det skal være deres Arvelod: Jeg er deres Arv; og I skulle ikke give dem Ejendom i Israel: Jeg er deres Ejendom.
And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.
29 Madofferet og Syndofferet og Skyldofferet, dem skulle de æde, og alt bandlyst Gods i Israel skal være deres.
They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 Og det første af al Førstegrøde af alle Slags og al Offergave af alle Slags, af alle eders Offergaver, det skal høre Præsterne til; og det første af eders Dejg skulle I give Præsten, at jeg maa lade Velsignelse hvile over dit Hus.
And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
31 Intet Aadsel og intet sønderrevet, det være sig Fugl eller Dyr, skulle Præsterne æde.
The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
