4 Mosebog 9

1 Og Herren talede til Mose i Sinai Ørk, i det andet Aar, efter at de vare udgangne af Ægyptens Land, i den første Maaned, og sagde,

In the first month of the second year after Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai:

2 at Israels Børn skulle holde Paaske paa dens bestemte Tid.

“The Israelites are to observe the Passover at its appointed time.

3 Paa den fjortende Dag i denne Maaned, imellem de tvende Aftener skulle I holde den paa dens bestemte Tid; efter alle dens Skikke og efter alle dens Bestemmelser skulle I holde den.

You are to observe it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth day of this month, in accordance with its statutes and ordinances.”

4 Og Mose sagde til Israels Børn, at de skulde holde Paaske.

So Moses told the Israelites to observe the Passover,

5 Og de holdt Paaske i den første Maaned, paa den fjortende Dag i Maaneden, imellem de tvende Aftener, i Sinai Ørk; efter alt det, som Herren havde befalet Mose, saaledes gjorde Israels Børn.

and they did so in the Wilderness of Sinai, at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

6 Og det skete, at der var nogle Mænd, som vare blevne urene ved et Menneskes Lig, og de kunde ikke holde Paasken paa den samme Dag; og de gik frem for Mose Ansigt og for Arons Ansigt den samme Dag.

But there were some men who were unclean due to a dead body, so they could not observe the Passover on that day. And they came before Moses and Aaron that same day

7 Og disse Mænd sagde til ham: Vi ere blevne urene ved et Menneskes Lig; hvi skulle vi derfor udelukkes, at vi ej maa ofre Herren Offer paa dets bestemte Tid, midt iblandt Israels Børn?

and said to Moses, “We are unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be excluded from presenting the LORD’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?”

8 Og Mose sagde til dem: Venter lidt, og jeg vil høre, hvad Herren vil nyde om eder.

“Wait here until I find out what the LORD commands concerning you,” Moses replied.

9 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:

Then the LORD said to Moses,

10 Tal til Israels Børn og sig: Naar nogen hos eder eller hos eders Efterkommere er bleven uren ved et Lig, eller er paa en lang Rejse, han skal alligevel holde Herren Paaske.

“Tell the Israelites: ‘When any one of you or your descendants is unclean because of a dead body, or is away on a journey, he may still observe the Passover to the LORD.

11 I den anden Maaned paa den fjortende Dag, imellem de tvende Aftener, skulle de holde den; de skulle æde det med usyrede Brød og beske Urter.

Such people are to observe it at twilight on the fourteenth day of the second month. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs;

12 De skulle ikke lade blive tilovers deraf til om Morgenen og ikke bryde noget Ben paa det, efter al Paaskelammets Skik skulle de gøre med det.

they may not leave any of it until morning or break any of its bones. They must observe the Passover according to all its statutes.

13 Men den, som er ren og ikke er paa Rejse og efterlader at holde Paaske, den Sjæl skal udryddes fra sit Folk, fordi han ikke har ofret Herrens Offer paa dets bestemte Tid; denne Mand skal bære sin Synd.

But if a man who is ceremonially clean and is not on a journey still fails to observe the Passover, he must be cut off from his people, because he did not present the LORD’s offering at its appointed time. That man will bear the consequences of his sin.

14 Og naar en fremmed opholder sig hos eder og holder Herren Paaske, da skal han holde den saa, som Paaskens Skik og som dens Vis er; der skal være een Skik for eder, baade for den fremmede og for den indfødte i Landet.

If a foreigner dwelling among you wants to observe the Passover to the LORD, he is to do so according to the Passover statute and its ordinances. You are to apply the same statute to both the foreigner and the native of the land.’”

15 Og paa den Dag, da Tabernaklet blev oprejst, skjulte Skyen Vidnesbyrdets Pauluns Tabernakel; og om Aftenen var over Tabernaklet som en Ild at se til, indtil om Morgenen.

On the day that the tabernacle, the Tent of the Testimony, was set up, the cloud covered it and appeared like fire above the tabernacle from evening until morning.

16 Saaledes skete det stedse, at Skyen skjulte det; og om Natten var det som en Ild at se til.

It remained that way continually; the cloud would cover the tabernacle by day, and at night it would appear like fire.

17 Og eftersom Skyen hævede sig op fra Paulunet, rejste Israels Børn derefter; og paa det Sted, hvor Skyen blev, der lejrede Israels Børn sig.

Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the Tent, the Israelites would set out, and wherever the cloud settled, there the Israelites would camp.

18 Efter Herrens Mund rejste Israels Børn, og efter Herrens Mund lejrede de sig; alle de Dage, som Skyen boede over Tabernaklet, bleve de liggende.

At the LORD’s command the Israelites set out, and at the LORD’s command they camped. As long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle, they remained encamped.

19 Og naar Skyen blev over Tabernaklet mange Dage, da toge Israels Børn Vare paa, hvad Herren vilde have varetaget, og rejste ikke.

Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, the Israelites kept the LORD’s charge and did not set out.

20 Og det var ligesaa, naar Skyen var faa Dage over Tabernaklet; efter Herrens Mund lejrede de sig, og efter Herrens Mund rejste de.

Sometimes the cloud remained over the tabernacle for only a few days, and they would camp at the LORD’s command and set out at the LORD’s command.

21 Og det var ligesaa, naar Skyen var der fra Aftenen indtil Morgenen, og Skyen hævede sig om Morgenen, da rejste de; eller naar Skyen hævede sig om Dagen eller om Natten, da rejste de.

Sometimes the cloud remained only from evening until morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they would set out. Whether it was by day or by night, when the cloud was taken up, they would set out.

22 Eller naar Skyen blev to Dage eller een Maaned eller eet Aar over Tabernaklet, saa den boede over det, da bleve Israels Børn liggende og rejste ikke; men naar den hævede sig, rejste de.

Whether the cloud lingered for two days, a month, or longer, the Israelites camped and did not set out as long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle; but when it was lifted, they would set out.

23 Efter Herrens Mund lejrede de sig, og efter Herrens Mund rejste de; de toge Vare paa, hvad Herren vilde have varetaget, efter Herrens Mund ved Mose.

They camped at the LORD’s command, and they set out at the LORD’s command; they carried out the LORD’s charge according to His command through Moses.
