4 Mosebog 15
1 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
Then Yahweh told Moses/me,
2 Tal til Israels Børn, og du skal sige til dem: Naar I komme til det Land, som I skulle bo udi, hvilket jeg vil give eder,
“Tell this to the Israeli people: When you arrive in the land that I am giving to you,
3 og I ville gøre Herren et Ildoffer, Brændoffer eller Slagtoffer, for at indfri et særligt Løfte, eller som et frivilligt Offer, eller paa eders bestemte Tider, for at berede Herren en behagelig Lugt, af stort Kvæg eller smaat Kvæg:
you must offer to me special sacrifices which will be pleasing to me [when the priest burns them on the altar]. Some of them may be offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar]. Some of them may be to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Some of them may be offerings that you yourselves have decided to make. Some of them may be offerings at one of the festivals that you celebrate each year. These offerings may be taken from your herds [of cattle] or from your flocks [of sheep and goats].
4 Da skal den, som ofrer sit Offer, ofre til Herren et Madoffer af en tiende Part Mel, blandet med en fjerde Part af en Hin Olie;
When you give these offerings, you must also bring to me a grain offering of two quarts/liters of nice flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil.
5 og en fjerde Part af en Hin Vin til et Drikoffer skal du befede, tillige med Brændofret eller Slagtofret, til hvert Lam.
When you offer a lamb to be a sacrifice to be completely burned, you must also pour on the altar one quart/liter of wine.
6 Eller er det til en Væder, saa skal du lave Madoffer af tvende tiende Parter Mel, blandet med en tredje Part af en Hin Olie;
‘When you offer a ram to be a sacrifice, you must also bring an offering of four quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of [olive] oil.
7 og Vin til et Drikoffer, en tredje Part af en Hin, skal du ofre til en behagelig Lugt for Herren.
And also pour on the altar (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of wine. While they are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.
8 Og naar du vil lave en ung Tyr til et Brændoffer eller Slagtoffer, for at indfri et særligt Løfte eller gøre et Takoffer for Herren,
‘Sometimes you will offer a young bull to be completely burned on the altar. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to maintain fellowship with me.
9 da skal man ofre tillige med den unge Tyr som Madoffer tre tiende Parter Mel, blandet med en halv Hin Olie.
When you offer these sacrifices, you must also offer a grain offering of six quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with two quarts/liters of [olive] oil.
10 Og du skal ofre Vin til Drikofret, en halv Hin; det er et Ildoffer, en behagelig Lugt for Herren.
Also pour on the altar two quarts/liters of wine to be an offering. While those special gifts are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.
11 Paa denne Maade skal det ske med een Okse eller med een Væder eller med eet Lam af Faarene eller af Gederne;
Each time someone offers a bull or a ram or a male lamb or a young goat to be a sacrifice, it must be done that way.
12 efter det Tal, som I skulle bringe, skulle I lave det paa denne Maade, for ethvert efter deres Tal.
You must obey these instructions for each animal that you bring to me for an offering.
13 Hver indfødt skal gøre disse Ting paa denne Maade for at ofre et Ildoffer, en behagelig Lugt for Herren.
‘All of you people who have been Israelis all of your lives must obey these regulations when you offer sacrifices that will be pleasing to me when they are burned on the altar.
14 Og om en fremmed opholder sig hos eder, eller en, som er midt iblandt eder hos eders Efterkommere, og han vil gøre et Ildoffer, en behagelig Lugt for Herren, saa skal han gøre, ligesom I skulle gøre.
If any foreigners visit you or live among you, if they also want to bring a sacrifice that will be pleasing to me when it is burned on the altar, they must obey these same instructions.
15 Du Menighed! der skal være een Skik for eder og for den fremmede, som opholder sig hos eder, det er en evig Skik hos eders Efterkommere; som det er for eder, saa skal det være for den fremmede, for Herrens Ansigt.
I consider that those who have always been Israelis and those who are foreigners are equal, and so they must all obey the same instructions. All of your descendants must also continue to obey these instructions.
16 Een Lov og een Ret skal være for eder og for den fremmede, som opholder sig hos eder.
You Israelis and the foreigners who live among you must all obey the same instructions.”
17 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
18 Tal til Israels Børn, og du skal sige til dem: Naar I komme i det Land, hvorhen jeg vil føre eder,
“Tell these instructions to the Israeli people: [Yahweh says this]: ‘When you arrive in the land to which I am taking you,
19 da skal det ske, naar I æde af Landets Brød, at I skulle bringe en Offergave for Herren.
and you eat the crops that are growing there, you must set some of them aside to be a sacred offering to me.
20 Det første af eders Dejg, nemlig en Kage, skulle I bringe til en Gave, ligesom Gaven fra Loen, saaledes skulle I bringe den.
[Each year] set aside some of the first grain that you gather after you have threshed it. Bake a loaf of bread from the first flour that you grind and bring it to me to be a sacred offering.
21 Af det første af eders Dejg skulle I give Herren en Gave, hos eders Efterkommere.
Every year, you and your descendants must continue to make and bring to me [a loaf of bread baked] [MTY] [with flour] from the first part of the grain that you harvest.’”
22 Og naar I forse eder og ikke gøre alle disse Bud, som Herren har talet til Mose,
“‘There may be times when you Israelis do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell you, but not because you intended to disobey them.
23 alt det, som Herren har budet eder ved Mose, fra den Dag af, da Herren har befalet det, og derefter, hos eders Efterkommere:
There may be times when some of your descendants do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell to you.
24 Da skal det ske, om noget er skjult for Menighedens Øjne og er gjort af Vanvare, at den ganske Menighed skal lave en ung Tyr til Brændoffer, til en behagelig Lugt for Herren, og dens Madoffer og dens Drikoffer efter vanlig Vis, og een Gedebuk til Syndoffer.
If you or they sin [by forgetting to obey these instructions] and none of the Israeli people realize that they were doing that, one young bull as an offering for all the people [must be brought to the priest]. That will be pleasing to me [when it is burned on the altar]. They must also bring to me a grain offering and an offering of wine, and a male goat, to be sacrificed to enable me to forgive them for the sins they have committed.
25 Saa skal Præsten gøre Forligelse for al Israels Børns Menighed, og det bliver dem forladt; thi det er af Vanvare, og de skulle føre deres Offer frem til et Ildoffer for Herren, og deres Syndoffer for Herrens Ansigt for deres Vanvares Skyld,
[By offering these sacrifices], the priest will make atonement for all of you Israeli people. Then, as a result of their bringing to me an offering to be burned [on the altar], (you will be forgiven/I will forgive you), because you sinned without realizing that you were sinning.
26 og det bliver al Israels Børns Menighed og den fremmede, som opholder sig midt iblandt dem, forladt, efterdi det er vederfaret det ganske Folk af Vanvare.
You Israeli people and the foreigners who are living among you will all be forgiven.
27 Men naar en enkelt synder af Vanvare, da skal han ofre en aargammel Ged til et Syndoffer.
If one person commits a sin without realizing that he was sinning, that person must bring to me a female goat to be an offering to enable me to forgive that person for the sins that person has committed.
28 Og Præsten skal gøre Forligelse for ham, som har forset sig og syndede af Vanvare, for Herrens Ansigt; han skal gøre Forligelse for ham, saa bliver det ham forladt.
The priest will offer it to be a sacrifice to remove the guilt of that person, and that person will be forgiven.
29 For den indfødte blandt Israels Børn og for den fremmede, som opholder sig midt iblandt dem, hos eder skal være een Lov for den, som gør noget af Vanvare.
You Israelis and all the foreigners who live among you must obey these same instructions.
30 Men den Person, som gør noget af Trodsighed, være sig en indfødt eller en fremmed, han har forhaanet Herren, og den Sjæl skal udryddes midt ud af sit Folk;
But those who disobey my commands (deliberately/because they want to), both Israelis and the foreigners who live among you, have sinned against me [by doing that]. So (they must be expelled/you must expel them) from your camp.
31 thi han har foragtet Herrens Ord og gjort hans Bud til intet; den Sjæl skal udryddes, hans Misgerning skal være paa ham.
They have despised my commands and deliberately disobeyed them, so they must be punished for their sin by not being allowed to live among you any more.’”
32 Og Israels Børn vare i Ørken, og de fandt en Mand, som sankede Ved paa en Sabbatsdag.
One day, while the Israelis were in the desert, some of them saw a man who was gathering firewood on the Sabbath/rest day.
33 Og de, som fandt ham sanke Ved, førte ham frem til Mose og til Aron og til al Menigheden.
Those who saw him doing that brought him to Aaron and Moses/me and the rest of the Israeli people.
34 Og de satte ham i Forvaring; thi det var ikke forklaret, hvad der skulde gøres ved ham.
They guarded him carefully, because they did not know what to do [to punish] him.
35 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Den Mand skal visselig dødes; den ganske Menighed skal stene ham med Stene uden for Lejren.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The man must be executed. All of you must [kill him by throwing] stones at him outside the camp.”
36 Da førte al Menigheden ham ud uden for Lejren, og de stenede ham med Stene, og han døde; saasom Herren havde befalet Mose.
So they all took the man outside the camp and killed him by throwing stones at him, as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me that they should do.
37 Og Herren talte til Mose og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
38 Tal til Israels Børn, og du skal sige til dem, at de skulle gøre sig Kvaster paa Fligene af deres Klæder, hos deres Efterkommere, og de skulle sætte en blaa ulden Snor paa hver Fligs Kvast.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: You and all your descendants must [twist threads together to] make tassels, and then attach them with blue cords to the bottom edges of your clothes.
39 Og den skulle I have ved hver Kvast, for at I skulle se den og ihukomme alle Herrens Bud og gøre dem; og I skulle ikke søge noget efter eders eget Hjerte og efter eders Øjne, som I bole efter,
When you look at the tassels, you will remember all the instructions that I gave to you, and you will obey them, instead of doing what you desire and as a result causing yourselves to become unacceptable to me.
40 paa det I skulle ihukomme og gøre alle mine Bud; og I skulle være hellige for eders Gud.
Seeing those tassels will help you to remember that you must obey all my commands and that you must be (my holy people/dedicated to me).
41 Jeg er Herren eders Gud, som har udført eder af Ægyptens Land for at være eder en Gud; jeg er Herren eders Gud.
Do not forget that I am Yahweh, your God. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you might belong to me. I am Yahweh, your God.”
