4 Mosebog 31
1 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Hævn Israels Børn paa Midianiterne; derefter skal du samles til dit Folk.
Execute the vengeance of the children of Israel on the Midianites, after which thou shalt be gathered unto thy people.
3 Da talede Mose til Folket og sagde: Lader Mænd iblandt eder væbne sig til Strid, og de skulle drage imod Midianiterne at udføre Herrens Hævn paa Midianiterne;
And Moses spoke unto the people, saying, Arm from yourselves some men for the army, and let them go against the Midianites, to execute the vengeance of the Lord on Midian.
4 et Tusinde af hver Stamme, af alle Israels Stammer, skulle I sende til Striden.
A thousand each for every tribe, of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the army.
5 Og der udtoges af Israels Tusinder et Tusinde for hver Stamme, tolv Tusinde væbnede til Strid.
And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for the army.
6 Og Mose sendte dem, tusinde for hver Stamme, til Striden, dem og Pinehas, Præsten Eleasars Søn, til Striden, og de hellige Redskaber og Klangbasunerne vare i hans Haand.
And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the army; them and Phinehas the son of Elazar the priest, to the army, with the holy vessels, and the trumpets for blowing the alarm in his hand.
7 Og de strede imod Midianiterne, som Herren havde befalet Mose, og de ihjelsloge alt Mandkøn.
And they marched out against the Midianites, as the Lord had commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
8 Tillige med de øvrige ihjelslagne sloge de og Midianiternes Konger ihjel, nemlig Evi og Rekem og Zur og Hur og Reba, fem midianitiske Konger; ogsaa sloge de Bileam, Beors Søn, ihjel med Sværdet.
And the kings of Midian they slew, besides the rest of their men that were slain; namely, Evi and Rekem, and Zur, and Chur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian; and Bil'am the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9 Og Israels Børn toge Midianiternes Hustruer og deres smaa Børn fangne; og alle deres Lastdyr og alt deres Kvæg og al deres Formue røvede de.
And the children of Israel took captives the women of Midian, and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took as spoil.
10 Og alle deres Stæder, som de boede udi, og alle deres Byer opbrændte de med Ild.
And all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their castles they burnt with fire.
11 Og de toge alt Byttet og alt Rovet af Mennesker og Dyr.
And they took all the spoil, and all the booty, both of men and of cattle.
12 Og de førte til Mose og til Præsten Eleasar og til Israels Børns Menighed Fangerne og Rovet og Byttet til Lejren paa Moabiternes slette Marker, som ere ved Jordanen over for Jeriko.
And they brought unto Moses, and to Elazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, the captives, and the booty, and the spoil, unto the camp, to the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan opposite Jericho.
13 Og Mose og Eleasar, Præsten, og alle Menighedens Fyrster gik dem i Møde uden for Lejren.
And Moses, and Elazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them, to without the camp.
14 Og Mose blev vred paa dem, som vare beskikkede over Hæren, paa Fyrsterne over Tusinderne og Fyrsterne over Hundrederne, de som kom fra Krigstoget.
And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains over the thousands, and the captains over the hundreds, who had come from the war-campaign.
15 Og Mose sagde til dem: Have I ladet Kvinderne leve?
And Moses said unto them, Have ye allowed all the females to live?
16 Se, disse bleve paa Bileams Ord Anledning for Israels Børn til Troløshed mod Herren formedelst Sagen med Peor; hvorfor Plagen kom over Herrens Menighed.
Behold, these chiefly were the cause unto the children of Israel, through the counsel of Bil'am, to commit the gross trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor; through which there was the plague among the congregation of the Lord.
17 Og nu, slaar alt Mandkøn ihjel iblandt smaa Børn, og slaar hver Kvinde ihjel, som har kendt Mand, ved at ligge hos Mandkøn;
And now kill ye every male among the little ones, and every woman that hath known man by lying with him shall ye kill.
18 men lader alle smaa Børn af Kvindekønnet, som ikke have kendt Mandkøns Samkvem, leve for eder.
But all among the women-children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19 Og I, lejrer eder uden for Lejren syv Dage; hver af eder, som har slaaet nogen ihjel, og hver af eder, som har rørt ved en ihjelslagen, I skulle rense eder for Synden paa den tredje Dag og paa den syvende Dag, I og eders Fanger.
But ye, —you must abide without the camp seven days: all ye who have killed any person, and all who have touched any one slain, shall purify yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day; both you and your captives.
20 Og hvert Klædebon og alt Tøj af Skind og alt, hvad der er gjort af Gedehaar, og alle Haande Trækar skulle I rense for Synd.
And every garment, and whatever is made of skins, and every work of goats' hair, and every vessel made of wood, shall ye purify unto yourselves.
21 Og Eleasar, Præsten, sagde til Stridsmændene, de, som vare dragne i Krigen: Dette er Lovens Bud, som Herren har befalet Mose:
And Elazar the priest said unto the men of the army who had gone to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord hath commanded Moses:
22 Ikkun Guldet og Sølvet, Kobberet, Jernet, Tinnet og Blyet,
Nevertheless the gold, and the silver, the copper, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 al den Ting, som taaler Ilden, skulle I lade gaa igennem Ilden, saa er den ren; dog skal den renses for Synd ved Renselsesvandet; men alt det, som ikke taaler Ilden, skulle I lade gaa igennem Vandet.
Every thing that cometh into the fire shall ye make go through the fire, and it shall be clean; only it shall be purified with the waters of sprinkling: and whatsoever doth not come into the fire shall ye cause to go through the water.
24 Og I skulle to eders Klæder paa den syvende Dag, saa blive I rene; og derefter maa I komme i Lejren.
And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and after that may ye come into the camp.
25 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
And the Lord said unto Moses, as followeth,
26 Tag Hovedsum paa det bortførte Rov af Mennesker og af Dyr, du og Eleasar, Præsten, og de Øverste af Menighedens Fædrenehuse.
Take the sum of the booty of the captives, both of man and of cattle, thou, with Elazar the priest, and the chiefs of the families of the congregation:
27 Og du skal halvdele Rovet imellem dem, som have taget Del i Krigen, dem, som vare uddragne i Striden, og imellem hele Menigheden.
And thou shalt divide the booty, between those that carried on the war, who went out to the army, and between all the congregation.
28 Og du skal hæve som Afgift til Herren fra Krigsmændene, som vare dragne i Striden, een Sjæl af hvert fem Hundrede, baade af Mennesker og af stort Kvæg og af Asener og af smaat Kvæg.
And thou shalt levy a tribute unto the Lord from the men of war who went out to the army, one individual from every five hundred, of the persons, and of the beef-cattle, and of the asses, and of the sheep;
29 Af den Halvdel, som er tilfalden dem, skulle I tage det; og du skal give Eleasar, Præsten, Gaven til Herren.
From their half shall ye take it; and thou shalt give it unto Elazar the priest, for a heave-offering of the Lord.
30 Og af den Halvdel, som er tilfalden Israels Børn, skal du tage een ud af hvert halvtredsindstyve, baade af Mennesker og af stort Kvæg og af Asener og af smaat Kvæg, af alt Kvæget; og du skal give dem til Leviterne, som tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Herrens Tabernakel.
And from the half of the children of Israel, shalt thou take one individual, as it may come, from any fifty, of the persons, of beef-cattle, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of cattle; and thou shalt give the same unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.
31 Og Mose og Eleasar, Præsten, gjorde, som Herren havde befalet Mose.
And Moses with Elazar the priest did, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
32 Og Rovet, nemlig hvad der var tilbage af Rovet, som Stridsfolket havde røvet, var: Smaat Kvæg seks Hundrede Tusinde og halvfjerdsindstyve Tusinde og fem Tusinde;
And the booty, being the rest of the spoil which the men of the army had taken, was of sheep and goats, six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand,
33 og stort Kvæg to og halvfjerdsindstyve Tusinde;
And of beef-cattle, seventy and two thousand,
34 og Asener een og tresindstyve Tusinde;

35 og de Personer af Kvindfolk, som ikke havde kendt Mandkøns Samkvem, alle disse vare to og tredive Tusinde.
And of human persons, of women that had not known men by lying with him, in all thirty and two thousand.
36 Og Halvdelen, som var tilfalden dem, der vare udgangne til Striden, var i Tallet: Smaat Kvæg tre Hundrede Tusinde og tredive Tusinde og syv Tusinde og fem Hundrede.
And the half, the portion of those who had gone out in the army, was, in the number of sheep and goats, three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred.

41 Og Mose gav Afgiften som en Gave for Herren til Eleasar, Præsten, som Herren havde befalet Mose.
And Moses gave the tribute, the Lord's heave-offering, unto Elazar the priest, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
42 Og af den Halvdel, som tilfaldt Israels Børn, den Halvdel, som Mose tog fra Mændene, som havde stridt; —
And from the half of the children of Israel, which Moses divided off from the men that had gone forth in the army, —
43 men Menighedens Halvdel var af smaat Kvæg: Tre Hundrede Tusinde og tredive Tusinde, syv Tusinde og fem Hundrede;
(Now the half of the congregation was, of sheep and goats three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred.

45 og af Asener var den tredive Tusinde og fem Hundrede;

47 af denne Halvdel, som tilfaldt Israels Børn, tog Mose een ud af hvert halvtredsindstyve, baade af Mennesker og af Dyr, og han gav dem til Leviterne, som toge Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage ved Herrens Tabernakel, saaledes som Herren havde befalet Mose.
And Moses took from this half of the children of Israel, as it came, one from every fifty, of man and of cattle, and gave the same unto the Levites, who kept the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
48 Og de gik frem til Mose, de som vare satte over Tusinderne i Hæren, Fyrsterne over Tusinderne og Fyrsterne over Hundrederne,
And there came near unto Moses the officers who had been over the thousands of the army, the captains of the thousands, and the captains of the hundreds.
49 og de sagde til Mose: Dine Tjenere have taget Hovedsum paa Krigsmændene, som vare under vore Hænder, og der fattedes ikke een Mand af os i Tallet.
And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who have been under our command, and there lacketh not one man of us.
50 Derfor ofre vi, som Offer til Herren, enhver hvad han har fundet af Guldsager: Armsmykker og Armbaand, Fingerringe, Ørenringe og Kæder, til at gøre Forligelse for vore Sjæle for Herrens Ansigt.
We have therefore brought an oblation unto the Lord, each what he hath gotten of vessels of gold, chains, and bracelets, finger-rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the Lord.
51 Og Mose og Eleasar, Præsten, toge Guldet af dem, ja alle Haande forarbejdede Sager.
And Moses with Elazar the priest took the gold from them, all kinds of wrought articles.
52 Og alt Guldet, som de ydede Herren i Gave, var seksten Tusinde, syv Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Sekel, nemlig fra Fyrsterne over Tusinderne og fra Fyrsterne over Hundrederne.
And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the Lord, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from the captains of the thousands, and from the captains of the hundreds.
53 Stridsmændene havde gjort Bytte hver for sig.
The men of the army had taken spoil, every man for himself.

And Moses and Elazar the priest took the gold from the captains of the thousands and of the hundreds, and they brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, as a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord.
