3 Mosebog 2

1 Og naar nogen vil ofre et Madoffer for Herren, da skal hans Offer være Mel, og han skal øse Olie derpaa og lægge Virak dertil.

‘If you bring to Yahweh an offering of grain, it must consist of finely-ground flour. You must pour olive oil on it, and put some incense on it,

2 Og han skal bære det til Arons Sønner, Præsterne, og een skal tage sin Haand fuld deraf, af Melet med Olien derpaa og dertil al Virakken; og Præsten skal lade Ihukommelsesofret deraf gaa op i Røg paa Alteret; det er et Ildoffer, en sød Lugt for Herren.

and take it to one of the priests. The priest will take a handful of the flour and the oil with the incense and burn it on the altar. That part will symbolize [that all of the offering truly belongs to Yahweh]. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.

3 Men det, som overbliver af Madofret, skal høre Aron og hans Sønner til; det er højhelligt af Herrens Ildofre.

The part of that offering that is not burned will belong to Aaron and his sons. It is a very holy part of the offerings that are given to Yahweh by [burning them] in a fire.

4 Men vil han ofre Madoffer af det, som er bagt i Ovnen, da skal det være usyrede Kager af Mel, æltede med Olie, og usyrede tynde Kager, overstrøgne med Olie.

‘If you bring an offering that is made from grain, something that is baked in an oven, it must be made from finely-ground flour. You may bring loaves made from flour mixed with olive oil but without yeast, or you may bring wafers with olive oil smeared on them, but also made without yeast.

5 Men dersom dit Offer er Madoffer, som er bagt i Pande, da skal det være Mel, blandet med Olie, usyret.

If your offering is cooked (on a griddle/in a shallow pan), it must be made from finely-ground flour mixed with olive oil and without yeast.

6 Du skal bryde det i Stykker, og du skal øse Olie derpaa; det er et Madoffer.

You must crumble it and pour olive oil on it. That will be your offering made from grain.

7 Men er dit Offer et Madoffer, kogt i Kedelen, da skal det laves af Mel med Olie.

If your offering that is made from grain is cooked in a pan, it must be made of finely-ground flour mixed with olive oil.

8 Og du skal fremføre det Madoffer, som laves deraf, for Herren, og man skal føre det hen til Præsten, og han skal bære det frem til Alteret.

Bring to Yahweh your grain offering. Give it to the priest, and he will take it to the altar.

9 Og Præsten skal af samme Madoffer tage dets Ihukommelsesoffer og gøre et Røgoffer deraf paa Alteret; det er et Ildoffer, en sød Lugt for Herren.

He will take a part of it that will symbolize that all the offering belongs to Yahweh. He will burn that part on the altar, and the aroma as it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.

10 Men det, som bliver tilovers af Madofret, skal høre Aron og hans Sønner til; det skal være højhelligt af Herrens Ildofre.

The part that is not burned will belong to Aaron and his sons. It is a very holy part of the offerings given to Yahweh by [burning them] in a fire.

11 Alt det Madoffer, som I ville ofre til Herren, maa ikke tillaves med Surdejg; thi af Surdejg og af Honning skulle I ikke optænde Ildoffer for Herren.

‘Every offering that is made from grain and that you bring to Yahweh must be made without yeast, because you must not put any yeast or honey in any offering to Yahweh that is burned [on the altar].

12 Som en Førstegrødes Offer maa I ofre sligt til Herren; dog maa dette ikke komme paa Alteret til sød Lugt.

You may bring to Yahweh an offering of the first part of your harvest, but that is not to be burned on the altar to produce an aroma that will be pleasing to Yahweh.

13 Og alt dit Madoffer skal du salte med Salt og ikke lade din Guds Pagtes Salt fattes paa dit Madoffer; du skal ofre Salt paa alle dine Ofre.

Put salt on all your offerings that are made from grain. The salt represents the agreement that your God [made with] you, so be sure that you do not forget to put salt on those offerings.

14 Men dersom du vil ofre den Førstegrødes Madoffer for Herren, da skal du ofre Aks, ristede ved Ilden, stødt Korn, til din Førstegrødes Madoffer.

‘If you bring to Yahweh an offering of the first part of your harvest of grain, offer some new grain that has been crushed and roasted in a fire.

15 Og du skal øse Olie derpaa og lægge Virak dertil, det er et Madoffer.

Put olive oil and incense on it, and that will be your offering made from grain.

16 Og Præsten skal lade dets Ihukommelsesoffer af dets stødte Korn og af Olien dertil, samt alt dets Virak gaa op i Røg; det er et Ildoffer for Herren.

The priest will take a part of the flour and oil along with the incense. [That will symbolize that all the offering truly belongs to Yahweh]. He will burn that part on the altar, to be an offering given to Yahweh by [burning it] in a fire.’”
