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,
The Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai desert in the first month of the second year after Israel had left Egypt. He told him,
2 at Israels Børn skulle holde Paaske paa dens bestemte Tid.
“The Israelites are to keep the Passover at its designated 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.
Observe it at the time required—in the evening after sunset on the fourteenth day of this month, and do so in accordance with its rules and regulations.”
4 Og Mose sagde til Israels Børn, at de skulde holde Paaske.
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.
So they kept the Passover in the Sinai desert, beginning in the evening after sunset on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites followed all the instructions the Lord had given to 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.
However, there were some men who were unclean because they had been contact with a dead body, so they could not keep the Passover on that day. They went to see Moses and Aaron the 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 explained to Moses, “We are unclean because of a dead body, but why should that mean we're prevented from giving our offering to the Lord with the other Israelites at the appropriate time?”
8 Og Mose sagde til dem: Venter lidt, og jeg vil høre, hvad Herren vil nyde om eder.
“Stay here while I find out what the Lord's instructions are concerning you,” Moses responded.
9 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
The Lord told 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: ‘If you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body, or are away traveling, you can still keep the Lord's Passover.
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.
You are to observe it in the evening after sunset on the fourteenth day of the second month. You are to eat the lamb with the bread made without yeast, and the 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.
You must not leave any of it until the following morning and you must not break any of its bones. You must observe the Passover according to all the regulations.
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.
However, anyone ceremonially clean and not away traveling who neglects to observe the Passover must be expelled from their people, because they didn't present the Lord's offering at the appropriate time. They will bear the responsibility for the consequences of their 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.
Any foreigners living among you who want to observe the Lord's Passover can do so following the Passover rules and regulations. The same rules apply to the foreigners as they do to you.’”
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.
The cloud covered the Tent of the Testimony (the Tabernacle) on the day that it was set up, and looked like fire above it from evening until the morning.
16 Saaledes skete det stedse, at Skyen skjulte det; og om Natten var det som en Ild at se til.
It was always like this. The cloud covered the Tabernacle during the day and at night it looked 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.
When the cloud rose from over the Tent, the Israelites would move on, and where the cloud stopped, the Israelites would set up camp there.
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.
The Israelites moved on when the Lord told them to, and set up camp when the Lord told them to. While the cloud stayed over the Tabernacle, they remained camped there.
19 Og naar Skyen blev over Tabernaklet mange Dage, da toge Israels Børn Vare paa, hvad Herren vilde have varetaget, og rejste ikke.
Even if the cloud didn't move for a long time, the Israelites did what the Lord told them and didn't move on.
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 only stayed over the Tabernacle for a few days. As always they followed the Lord's command as to whether to camp or to move on.
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 only stayed overnight, so when it rose in the morning they would move on. Whenever the cloud rose, day or night, they would leave.
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.
If the cloud stayed in one place for two days, or a month, or longer, the Israelites stayed where they were and didn't leave as long as the cloud remained over the Tabernacle. However, once it rose, they would leave.
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 when the Lord told them to, and left when he told them to. They followed the Lord's instructions that he gave to Moses.
