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,
One year after the Israelis left Egypt, during the month of March, while they were in the Sinai Desert, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 at Israels Børn skulle holde Paaske paa dens bestemte Tid.
“Tell the Israeli people that they must celebrate the Passover [Festival again].
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.
They must do it on the fourteenth day of this month, early in the evening, and they must obey all the instructions about it [that I gave you previously].”
4 Og Mose sagde til Israels Børn, at de skulde holde Paaske.
So Moses/I told the people what Yahweh had said about celebrating 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.
The people celebrated it, there in the Sinai Desert, in the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
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 some of the Israeli people had touched a corpse, and as a result they had become unfit to celebrate the Passover. So they asked Aaron and Moses/me,
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?
“It is true that we have touched a corpse. But why should that prevent us from celebrating the Passover Festival and offering sacrifices to Yahweh like everyone else [RHQ]?”
8 Og Mose sagde til dem: Venter lidt, og jeg vil høre, hvad Herren vil nyde om eder.
Moses/I replied, “Wait here until I go into the Sacred Tent and find out what Yahweh says about it.”
9 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
[So Moses/I went into the tent and asked Yahweh what he/I should tell the people], and this is what Yahweh said:
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 this to the Israeli people: If any of you or your descendants touch a corpse and as a result become unacceptable to me, or if you are away from home on a long trip [at the time to celebrate the Passover], you will still be permitted to celebrate it.
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.
But you must celebrate it exactly one month later, early in the evening of the fourteenth day of that month. Eat the meat of the lamb for the Passover Festival with bread that is baked without yeast and eat 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.
Do not leave any of it until the next morning. And do not break any of the lamb’s bones. Obey all the regulations about celebrating the Passover.
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 any of you has not done anything that would make you unfit to celebrate the Passover Festival, and you are not away from home on a long trip, and you do not sacrifice to me at the proper time, you will no longer be allowed to associate with my people. (You will be punished/I will punish you).
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.
Foreigners who live among you may also celebrate the Passover Festival, if they obey all my commands concerning it.”
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 Sacred Tent was set up, a cloud covered it. From the time that the sun set until the time that the sun rose [the next day], the cloud resembled a [huge] fire. And that is what happened every day [that we/the Israelis were in the desert].
16 Saaledes skete det stedse, at Skyen skjulte det; og om Natten var det som en Ild at se til.
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 up and started to move [to a new location], we/they followed it. When the cloud stopped, we/the Israelis stopped there and set up their tents.
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.
We/They traveled when Yahweh, [by causing the cloud to move or stop], signaled to us/them when to move and when to stop. When the cloud stayed over the Sacred Tent, we/the Israelis stayed at that place.
19 Og naar Skyen blev over Tabernaklet mange Dage, da toge Israels Børn Vare paa, hvad Herren vilde have varetaget, og rejste ikke.
Sometimes the cloud stayed over the tent for a long time, so when that happened, we/they did not travel.
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 tent for only a few days. We/The people stopped and set up our/their tents as Yahweh commanded us/them, and we/they traveled [to a new location] when Yahweh commanded us/them to do that.
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 stayed in one place for only one day. When that happened, when the cloud rose up [into the sky] the next morning, then we/they traveled. Whenever the cloud moved, during the day or during the night, we/they traveled.
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 over the Sacred Tent for two days, or for a month, or for a year, during that time we/they stayed where we/they were. But when the cloud rose up [into the sky], we/they started to travel.
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.
When Yahweh commanded us/them to [stop and] set up our/their tents, we/they did that. When he told us/them to move, we/they moved. We/They did whatever Yahweh told Moses/me that we/they should do.
