3 Mosebog 4

1 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,

2 Tal til Israels Børn og sig: Naar nogen synder af Vanvare imod noget af Herrens Bud, hvad der ikke skulde ske, og handler imod eet af dem,

“Say this to the Israeli people: This is what must be done if someone sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands.

3 dersom det er den salvede Præst, som synder til Skyld for Folket, da skal han fremføre for sin Synd, som han har syndet, en Tyrekalv, der er uden Lyde, for Herren som Syndoffer.

'If the Supreme [MTY] Priest sins, and that causes all the people to be guilty, he must bring to Yahweh a young bull that has no defects. That will be an offering for the sin that he has committed.

4 Og han skal føre Tyren til Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør for Herrens Ansigt og lægge sin Haand paa Tyrens Hoved og slagte Tyren for Herrens Ansigt.

He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Sacred Tent. He must lay his hands on its head. Then he must slaughter it in front of Yahweh [and drain some of the blood into a bowl].

5 Og Præsten, som er salvet, skal tage af Tyrens Blod og bringe det ind i Forsamlingens Paulun.

Then the Supreme Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.

6 Og Præsten skal dyppe sin Finger i Blodet og stænke af Blodet syv Gange for Herrens Ansigt, lige for Helligdommens Forhæng.

He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].

7 Og Præsten skal komme af Blodet paa Hornene af den vellugtende Røgelses Alter, for Herrens Ansigt, i Forsamlingens Paulun; og alt Tyrens øvrige Blod skal han udøse ved Brændofrets Alters Fod, foran Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør.

Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar where fragrant incense is burned in the Sacred Tent in the presence of Yahweh. The remaining part of the bull’s blood [that is still in the bowl], he must pour out at the base of the altar, where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.

8 Og alt Fedtet af Syndofrets Tyr skal han udtage deraf, nemlig Fedtet, som skjuler Indvoldene, og alt Fedtet, som er paa Indvoldene,

From that offering the Supreme Priest must separate these things from the bull that is to be burned: The fat that covers the inner parts of the bull or which is attached to them—

9 og de to Nyrer og Fedtet, som er paa dem, det som er oven for Lænderne; men han skal udtage Hinden over Leveren tillige med Nyrerne,

the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

10 ligesom det udtages af Takofrets Okse; og Præsten skal gøre et Røgoffer deraf paa Brændofrets Alter.

Then the Supreme Priest must completely burn those things on the altar. That will be just like when the fat is removed from an animal that is sacrificed to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh].

11 Men Huden af Tyren og alt dens Kød, med dens Hoved og med dens Skanker og dens Indvolde og dens Møg,

But all the other parts of the animal—its skin/hide and all its other meat, its head and its legs, its inner parts and the intestines,

12 ja, den hele Tyr skal han bringe uden for Lejren, til et rent Sted, der hvor Asken udslaas, og han skal brænde den paa Veddet i Ilden; den skal opbrændes der, hvor Asken udslaas.

he must take outside the camp and throw them in a place that is acceptable to Yahweh, where the ashes are thrown, and he must burn them in a fire on the pile of ashes.

13 Og dersom al Israels Menighed forser sig, og Gerningen er skjult for Forsamlingens Øjne, at de have gjort noget imod eet af Herrens Bud, hvad der ikke skulde ske, og ere blevne skyldige,

‘If all the Israeli people sin without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands, they will be guilty, even if they do not realize that they have sinned.

14 og Synden, hvormed de have forsyndet sig, siden bliver vitterlig: Da skal Forsamlingen ofre en ung Tyr til Syndoffer, og de skulle føre den frem for Forsamlingens Paulun.

When they realize that they have committed a sin, together they must bring a young bull to be an offering for their sin, to the front of the Sacred Tent.

15 Og de ældste af Menigheden skulle lægge deres Hænder paa Tyrens Hoved for Herrens Ansigt, og man skal slagte Tyren for Herrens Ansigt.

The elders must lay their hands on the bull’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it [and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

16 Og Præsten, som er salvet, skal bringe af Tyrens Blod ind i Forsamlingens Paulun.

Then the Supreme [MTY] Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.

17 Og Præsten skal dyppe sin Finger i Blodet og stænke syv Gange for Herrens Ansigt, foran Forhænget.

‘He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].

18 Og han skal komme af Blodet paa Hornene af Alteret, som staar for Herrens Ansigt, i Forsamlingens Paulun; og alt det øvrige Blod skal han udøse ved Foden af Brændofrets Alter, som staar foran Forsamlingens Pauluns Dør.

Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar that is in the presence of Yahweh in the Sacred Tent. The remaining part of the bull’s blood, he must pour out at the base of the altar where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.

19 Og alt dens Fedt skal han udtage af den og gøre et Røgoffer deraf paa Alteret.

He must remove all the animal’s fat and burn it on the altar.

20 Og han skal gøre ved Tyren, ligesom han gjorde ved Syndofrets Tyr, saa skal han gøre ved den; og Præsten skal gøre Forligelse for dem, saa bliver det dem forladt.

He must do with this bull the same things that he did with the bull that was an offering for his own sins, and they will be forgiven {Yahweh will forgive them}.

21 Og man skal føre Tyren uden for Lejren og opbrænde den, ligesom man opbrændte den første Tyr; det skal være Menighedens Syndoffer.

Then the priest must take [the other parts of] the bull outside the camp and burn them, like he does when he himself has sinned. That will be the offering for the sin that all the people have committed, and they will be forgiven.

22 Dersom en Fyrste synder, og gør noget imod eet af Herrens sin Guds Bud, hvad der ikke skulde ske, af Vanvare, og bliver skyldig:

‘When one of the leaders sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be guilty.

23 Naar hans Synd, med hvilken han syndede, bliver ham tilkendegiven, da skal han fremføre sit Offer, en Gedebuk, en Han uden Lyde.

When he realizes that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a male goat that has no defects.

24 Og han skal lægge sin Haand paa Bukkens Hoved og slagte den paa det Sted, hvor man plejer at slagte Brændoffer for Herrens Ansigt; det er et Syndoffer.

He must lay his hands on the goat’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter {are slaughtered} the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar]. That will be an offering for his sin.

25 Saa skal Præsten tage af Syndofrets Blod paa sin Finger og komme det paa Hornene af Brændofrets Alter og udøse dets øvrige Blod ved Foden af Brændofrets Alter.

Then the priest must put some of the animal’s blood [into a bowl] and dip [one of] his fingers in it and put some of the blood on the corners of the projections of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

26 Men af alt dets Fedt skal han gøre et Røgoffer paa Alteret, ligesom af Fedtet af Takofret; og saa skal Præsten gøre Forligelse for ham, for hans Synd, saa bliver den ham forladt.

Then he must burn all the fat on the altar, as was done with the fat of the offering to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh]. As a result of the priest’s doing that, the leader will no longer be guilty for his sin and he will be forgiven.

27 Men dersom nogen af Folket i Landet synder af Vanvare, saa at han gør noget mod eet af Herrens Bud, hvad der ikke skulde ske, og bliver skyldig:

‘If one of the Israeli people who is not a priest sins without intending to sin, and does something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be guilty.

28 Naar hans Synd, hvormed han syndede, bliver ham tilkendegiven, da skal han fremføre sit Offer, en ung Ged, en Hun uden Lyde, for sin Synd, hvormed han syndede.

When he realizes that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a female goat that has no defects.

29 Og han skal lægge sin Haand paa Syndofrets Hoved og slagte Syndofret paa Brændofrets Sted.

He must lay his hands on the goat’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

30 Og Præsten skal tage af dets Blod paa sin Finger og komme det paa Hornene af Brændofrets Alter og udøse alt det øvrige Blod ved Alterets Fod.

Then the priest must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood, and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

31 Men alt dets Fedt skal han aftage, ligesom Fedtet blev aftaget af Takofret, og Præsten skal gøre det til et Røgoffer paa Alteret, til en behagelig Lugt for Herren; og Præsten skal gøre Forligelse for ham, og det skal forlades ham.

Then he must remove all the goat’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh. As a result of the priest doing that, the person will no longer be guilty for his sin, and he will be forgiven.

32 Men dersom han fører et Lam frem til sit Offer, til Syndoffer, da skal han fremføre en Hun uden Lyde

‘If that person brings a lamb to be his offering for sin, he must bring a female lamb that has no defects.

33 og lægge sin Haand paa Syndofrets Hoved og slagte det til Syndoffer paa det Sted, hvor man slagter Brændoffer.

He must lay his hands on the lamb’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

34 Og Præsten skal tage af Syndofrets Blod paa sin Finger og komme paa Hornene af Brændofrets Alter, og han skal udøse alt dets Blod ved Alterets Fod.

Then the priest must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

35 Men alt dets Fedt skal han aftage deraf, ligesom Fedtet blev aftaget af Takofrets Lam, og Præsten skal gøre et Røgoffer deraf paa Alteret, tillige med Herrens Ildofre; og Præsten skal gøre Forligelse for ham, for hans Synd, hvormed han syndede, og det skal forlades ham.

Then he must remove all the lamb’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. He must burn it on top of the other offerings to Yahweh that are being burned. As a result, the priest will request God to forgive that person for his sin, and he will be forgiven.’”
