Ezekiel 44
1 Og han førte mig tilbage til Helligdommens ydre Port, som vender imod Østen, og den var tillukket.
Then the man brought me back to the outer sanctuary gate that faced east; it was closed tightly.
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.
Yahweh said to me, “This gate has been sealed shut; it will not be opened. No man will go through it, for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has come through it, so it has been closed tightly.
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.
The ruler of Israel will sit in it to eat food before Yahweh. He will enter by way of the gate's portico and go out the same way.”
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 he brought me by way of the northern gate to the front of the temple, and I looked, and behold, the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh, and I fell on 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.
Then Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, set your heart and look with your eyes and listen with your ears to all that I am declaring to you, to all the statutes of the house of Yahweh and all its regulations. Think about the house's entrance and exits.
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!
Then say to the rebellious ones, the house of Israel, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Let all of your disgusting actions be enough for you, house of Israel—
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;
that you brought foreigners with uncircumcised hearts and uncircumcised flesh to be in my sanctuary, profaning my house, while you were offering me food, fat and blood—you have broken my covenant by all your disgusting actions.
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.
You have not carried out your duties regarding my holy things, but you appointed others to take up your duties, and you assigned them to care for my holy place.
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.
The Lord Yahweh says this: No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and flesh, from any of those who live among the people of Israel, may enter my holy place.
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.
Yet the Levites went far from me—they wandered away from me, going after their idols—but they will pay for their sin.
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.
They are servants in my sanctuary, watching the gates of the house and serving in the house and they slaughter the burnt offerings and the people's sacrifices, and they will stand before the people and serve 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.
But because they performed the sacrifices before their idols, they became stumbling blocks for sin for the house of Israel. Therefore I will lift up my hand to swear an oath against them—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—they will bear their punishment.
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.
They will not come near me to act as my priests or to approach any of my holy things, the most holy things. Instead, they will bear their reproach and their guilt for the disgusting actions that they have done.
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 place them as keepers of the work in the house, for all of its duties and everything that is done in it.
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.
Then the Levitical priests, those sons of Zadok who fulfilled the duties of my sanctuary when the people of Israel were wandering away from me—they will come near me to worship me. They will stand before me to offer me the fat and the blood—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
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 will come to my sanctuary; they will approach my table to worship me and to fulfill their duties to me.
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.
So it will be that when they come to the gates of the inner courtyard, they will have to dress in linen clothes, for they must not come in wool inside the gates of the courtyard and its house.
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.
There should be linen turbans on their heads and linen underclothes on their hips. They must not dress in clothes that make them 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.
When they go out to the outer courtyard, to the outer courtyard in order to go to the people, they must take off the clothes they wore when they served; they must take them off and lay them down in a holy room, so they do not make other people holy by contact with their special clothing.
20 Og de skulle ikke rage deres Hoved, ikke heller lade Haaret vokse frit; de skulle omhyggeligt klippe jieres Hovedhaar.
Also they must neither shave their heads nor allow their hair to hang loosely, but they must trim the hair of their heads.
21 Og Vin skal ingen af Præsterne drikke, naar de gaa ind i den indre Forgaard.
No priest may drink wine when he comes to 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.
nor take a widow or a divorced woman as a wife for himself, but only a virgin from the line of the house of Israel or a widow who was previously married to a priest.
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.
For they will teach my people the difference between the holy and the profane; they will make them know the unclean from 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.
In a dispute they will stand to judge with my decrees; they must be just. They will keep my law and my statutes in every feast, and they will celebrate my holy 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.
They will not go to a dead person so as to become unclean, unless it is their father or mother, son or daughter, brother or a sister who has not slept with a man; otherwise, they will become unclean.
26 Men efter hans Renselse skal man tælle ham syv Dage.
After a priest has become unclean, they will count off a period of seven days for him.
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.
On the day he enters the holy place, into the inner courtyard to serve in the holy place, he must bring a sin offering for himself—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
28 Og det skal være deres Arvelod: Jeg er deres Arv; og I skulle ikke give dem Ejendom i Israel: Jeg er deres Ejendom.
This will be their inheritance: I am their inheritance, and you must give them no property in Israel; I will be their property!
29 Madofferet og Syndofferet og Skyldofferet, dem skulle de æde, og alt bandlyst Gods i Israel skal være deres.
They will eat the food offerings, the sin offerings, the guilt offerings, and everything devoted to Yahweh in Israel, will 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.
The best of the firstfruits of all things and every contribution, anything from all of your contributions will belong to the priests, and you will give the best of your meal offerings to the priests so that blessing may rest on your house.
31 Intet Aadsel og intet sønderrevet, det være sig Fugl eller Dyr, skulle Præsterne æde.
The priests will not eat any carcass or animal torn by a beast, whether bird or beast.
