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,

And the Lord spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the second year after their coming out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying,

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

That the children of Israel shall prepare the passover-lamb at its appointed season.

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.

On the fourteenth day of this month, toward evening, shall ye prepare it at its appointed season: according to all its ordinances, and according to all its prescribed rules, shall ye prepare it.

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

And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, that they should prepare the passover-lamb.

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 prepared the passover-lamb on the fourteenth day of the first month toward evening in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

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 certain men, who had been defiled by the dead body of a man, and they could not prepare the passover-lamb on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that 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 these men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore shall we be kept back, so as not to offer the sacrifice of the Lord at its appointed season in the midst of the [other] children of Israel?

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

And Moses said unto them, Wait ye, and I will hear what the Lord will command concerning you.

9 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

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.

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man whatever should be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be on a distant journey, among you or your posterity: yet shall he prepare the passover-lamb unto 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.

In the second month on the fourteenth day toward evening shall they prepare it, with unleavened bread and bitter herbs shall they eat it.

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 shall leave none of it until morning, and no bone shall they break on it: according to the whole ordinance of the passover-lamb shall they prepare it.

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 the man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to prepare the passover-lamb, even that same soul shall be cut off from his people; because the offering of the Lord hath he not brought at its appointed season, his sin shall that man bear.

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.

And if a stranger sojourn among you, and will prepare the passover-lamb unto the Lord: according to the ordinance of the passover-lamb, and according to its prescribed rule, so shall he prepare it; one statute shall be for you, both for the stranger, and for the native born in 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.

And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle of the tent of the testimony: and in the evening there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.

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

So it used to be always: the cloud covered it [by day], and the appearance of fire by night.

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.

And as the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that did the children of Israel journey forward: and in the place where the cloud halted, there did the children of Israel encamp.

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 order of the Lord did the children of Israel journey forward, and at the order of the Lord they encamped: all the days that the cloud abode upon the tabernacle did they remain in camp.

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

And when the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle many days, then did the children of Israel keep the charge of the Lord, and journeyed not forward.

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

And at times it was, that the cloud remained but a few days upon the tabernacle; at the order of the Lord they abode in camp, and at the order of the Lord they journeyed forward.

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.

And at times it was, that the cloud remained from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they journeyed forward; or a day and a night, and when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed forward;

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.

Or two days, or a month, or a year; so long as the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, to remain thereon, did the children of Israel remain encamped, and journeyed not forward; but when it was taken up, they journeyed forward.

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.

At the order of the Lord they remained in camp, and at the order of the Lord they journeyed forward: the charge of the Lord they kept, at the order of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
