4 Mosebog 18
1 Og Herren sagde til Aron: Du og dine Sønner og din Faders Hus med dig, I skulle bære Skylden for, hvad der forses mod Helligdommen; og du og dine Sønner med dig, I skulle bære Skylden for, hvad I forse eder imod eders Præstedømme.
And the Lord said to Aaron, You and your sons and your father's family are to be responsible for all wrongdoing in relation to the holy place: and you and your sons are to be responsible for the errors which come about in your work as priests.
2 Og før ogsaa dine Brødre, Levi Stamme, din Faders Stamme, frem tillige med dig, og de skulle slutte sig til dig og tjene dig; men du og dine Sønner med dig, I skulle være foran Vidnesbyrdets Paulun.
Let your brothers, the family of Levi, come near with you, so that they may be joined with you and be your servants: but you and your sons with you are to go in before the ark of witness.
3 Og de skulle tage Vare paa, hvad du vil have varetaget, og paa hvad der ved det ganske Paulun er at varetage; dog skulle de ikke nærme sig Helligdommens Redskaber eller Alteret, at ikke baade de og I skulle dø.
They are to do your orders and be responsible for the work of the Tent; but they may not come near the vessels of the holy place or the altar, so that death may not overtake them or you.
4 Men de skulle slutte sig til dig og tage Vare paa, hvad der ved Forsamlingens Paulun er at varetage i al Paulunets Tjeneste; men en uvedkommende skal ikke holde sig nær til eder.
They are to be joined with you in the care of the Tent of meeting, doing whatever is needed for the Tent: and no one of any other family may come near you.
5 Saa tager Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Helligdommen, og paa hvad der er at varetage ved Alteret, at der ikke ydermere skal komme en Vrede over Israels Børn.
You are to be responsible for the holy place and the altar, so that wrath may never again come on the children of Israel.
6 Og jeg, se, jeg har taget eders Brødre, Leviterne, midt ud af Israels Børn; de ere givne eder som en Gave for Herren, til at besørge Forsamlingens Pauluns Tjeneste.
Now, see, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel: they are given to you and to the Lord, to do the work of the Tent of meeting.
7 Men du, og dine Sønner med dig, skulle tage Vare paa eders Præstedømme, i al den Gerning, som hører til Alteret og inden for Forhænget, og I skulle tjene der; jeg giver eder eders Præstedømme som Tjeneste, der er en Gave; men den uvedkommende, som nærmer sig, skal dødes.
And you and your sons with you are to be responsible as priests for the altar and everything on it, and everything inside the veil; you are to do the work of priests; I have given you your position as priests; and any other man who comes near will be put to death.
8 Og Herren talede til Aron: Jeg, se, jeg har givet dig Varetægten over mine Offergaver; alle de Ting, som Israels Børn hellige, har jeg givet dig for din Salvelses Skyld og dine Børn til en evig Rettighed.
And the Lord said to Aaron, See, I have given into your care my lifted offerings; even all the holy things of the children of Israel I have given to you and to your sons as your right for ever, because you have been marked with the holy oil.
9 Dette skal høre dig til af det højhellige, af Ildofrene: Alle deres Ofre af alle deres Madofre og af alle deres Syndofre og af alle deres Skyldofre, som de skulle betale mig, det skal være dig og dine Sønner højhelligt.
This is to be yours of the most holy things, out of the fire offerings; every offering of theirs, every meal offering and sin-offering, and every offering which they make on account of error, is to be most holy for you and your sons.
10 Paa et højhelligt Sted skal du æde det; alt Mandkøn skal æde deraf, det skal være dig en Hellighed.
As most holy things they are to be your food: let every male have them for food; it is to be holy to you.
11 Og dette hører dig til: Deres Offergave af alle Israels Børns Rørelsesofre; dig har jeg givet dem og dine Sønner og dine Døtre med dig til en evig Rettighed; hver som er ren i dit Hus, maa æde det.
And this is yours: the lifted offering which they give and all the wave offerings of the children of Israel I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters as your right for ever: everyone in your house who is clean may have them for food.
12 Alt det bedste af Olie og alt det bedste af ny Vin og Korn, deres Førstegrøde, som de skulle give Herren, det har jeg givet dig.
All the best of the oil and the wine and the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give to the Lord, to you have I given them.
13 Førstegrøden af alt det, som er i deres Land, som de skulle føre frem for Herren, skal høre dig til; hver som er ren i dit Hus, skal æde deraf.
The earliest produce from their land which they take to the Lord is to be yours; everyone in your house who is clean may have it for his food.
14 Alt det, som er lyst i Band i Israel, skal høre dig til.
Everything given by oath to the Lord in Israel is to be yours.
15 Alt det, som aabner Moders Liv, af alt Kød, som de skulle bringe frem for Herren, af Mennesker eller af Dyr, det skal være dit; dog skal du løse de førstefødte af Menneskene og løse det førstefødte af urene Dyr.
The first birth of every living thing which is offered to the Lord, of man or beast, is to be yours; but for the first sons of man payment is to be made, and for the first young of unclean beasts.
16 Og det, som skal løses deraf, det skal du løse, fra det er en Maaned gammelt, efter din Vurdering for fem Sekel Sølv efter Helligdommens Sekel: Den er tyve Gera.
Payment is to be made for these when they are a month old, at the value fixed by you, a price of five shekels by the scale of the holy place, that is, twenty gerahs to the shekel.
17 Men det førstefødte af Øksne eller det førstefødte af Faar eller det førstefødte af Geder skal du ikke løse, de ere hellige; deres Blod skal du stænke paa Alteret, og du skal gøre et Røgoffer af deres Fedt, et Ildoffer til en behagelig Lugt for Herren.
But no such payment may be made for the first birth of an ox or a sheep or a goat; these are holy: their blood is to be dropped on the altar, and their fat burned for an offering made by fire, a sweet smell to the Lord.
18 Og deres Kød skal høre dig til; ligesom Rørelsens Bryst og som den højre Bov skal det høre dig til.
Their flesh is to be yours; like the breast of the wave offering and the right leg, it is to be yours.
19 Alle Gaver af de hellige Ting, som Israels Børn skulle bringe Herren, har jeg givet dig og dine Sønner og dine Døtre med dig til en evig Rettighed; det skal være en evig Saltpagt for Herrens Ansigt, for dig og for din Sæd med dig.
All the lifted offerings of the holy things which the children of Israel give to the Lord, I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters as a right for ever. This is an agreement made with salt before the Lord, to you and to your seed for ever.
20 Og Herren sagde til Aron: Du skal ikke arve i deres Land, og du skal ikke have Del midt iblandt dem; jeg er din Del og din Arv midt iblandt Israels Børn.
And the Lord said to Aaron, You will have no heritage in their land, or any part among them; I am your part and your heritage among the children of Israel.
21 Men se, jeg har givet Levi Børn al Tienden i Israel til en Arv, folderes Tjeneste, som de besørge, nemlig Tjenesten ved Forsamlingens Paulun.
And to the children of Levi I have given as their heritage all the tenths offered in Israel, as payment for the work they do, the work of the Tent of meeting.
22 Og Israels Børn maa ikke ydermere nærme sig Forsamlingens Paulun, at de ikke skulle paadrage sig Synd og dø.
In future the children of Israel are not to come near the Tent of meeting, so that death may not come to them because of sin.
23 Men Leviten, han skal besørge Tjenesten ved Forsamlingens Paulun, og de skulle bære Skyld for, hvad de forse sig; dette skal være en evig Skik hos eders Efterkommere, og de skulle intet Arvegods arve midt iblandt Israels Børn.
But the Levites are to do the work of the Tent of meeting, and be responsible for errors in connection with it: this is a law for ever through all your generations; and among the children of Israel they will have no heritage.
24 Thi Israels Børns Tiende, som de skulle yde Herren til en Gave, har jeg givet Leviterne til Arv; derfor har jeg sagt til dem, at de skulle intet Arvegods arve midt iblandt Israels Børn.
For the tenths which the children of Israel give as a lifted offering to the Lord I have given to the Levites as their heritage. and so I have said to them, Among the children of Israel they will have no heritage.
25 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses,
26 Og til Leviterne skal du tale og sige til dem: Naar I tage den Tiende af Israels Børn, som jeg har givet eder af dem til eders Arv, da skulle I yde Herren en Gave deraf, nemlig den tiende Del af Tienden.
Say to the Levites, When you take from the children of Israel the tenth which I have given to you from them as your heritage, a tenth part of that tenth is to be offered as an offering lifted up before the Lord.
27 Og Gaven, der er ydet eder, skal regnes eder ligesom Kornet af Loen og ligesom Fylden af Persen.
And this lifted offering is to be put to your credit as if it was grain from the grain-floor and wine from the vines.
28 Saaledes skulle ogsaa I yde en Gave til Herren af alle eders Tiender, som I skulle tage af Israels Børn, og I skulle give Aron, Præsten, Gaven til Herren deraf.
So you are to make an offering lifted up to the Lord from all the tenths which you get from the children of Israel, giving out of it the Lord's lifted offering to Aaron the priest.
29 Af alle Gaver til eder skulle I yde den hele Gave til Herren, af alt det bedste deraf, den ham helligede Del deraf.
From everything given to you, let the best of it, the holy part of it, be offered as a lifted offering to the Lord.
30 Og du skal sige til dem: Naar I yde det bedste deraf, da skal det regnes Leviterne ligesom en Indkomst af Loen og ligesom en Indkomst af Persen.
Say to them, then, When the best of it is lifted up on high, it is to be put to the account of the Levites as the increase of the grain-floor and of the place where the grapes are crushed.
31 Og I maa æde det paa alle Steder, I og eders Hus; thi det er eders Løn for eders Tjeneste ved Forsamlingens Paulun.
It is to be your food, for you and your families in every place: it is your reward for your work in the Tent of meeting.
32 Saa skulle I ikke paadrage eder Synd for den Sags Skyld, naar I yde det bedste deraf; og I skulle ikke vanhellige Israels Børns hellige Ting, at I ikke skulle dø.
And no sin will be yours on account of it, when the best of it has been lifted up on high; you are not to make a wrong use of the holy things of the children of Israel, so that death may not overtake you.
