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 wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

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

“Let the children of Israel keep the Passover in 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, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season. You shall keep it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances.”

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

Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep 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.

They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.

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.

There were certain men who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and 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?

Those men said to him, “We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season among the children of Israel?”

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

Moses answered them, “Wait, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you.”

9 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:

The LORD spoke to 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.

“Say to the children of Israel, ‘If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still keep 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.

In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it 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 shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep 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 who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn’t offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season, that man shall bear 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 lives among you and desires to keep the Passover to the LORD, then he shall do so according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner and for him who is 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.

On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony. At evening it was over 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 was continually. The cloud covered it, 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.

Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.

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 commandment of the LORD, the children of Israel traveled, and at the commandment of the LORD they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on 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.

When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the LORD’s command, and didn’t 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 was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of the LORD they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of the LORD they traveled.

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 was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled; or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, 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.

Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and didn’t travel; but when it was taken up, they traveled.

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 commandment of the LORD they encamped, and at the commandment of the LORD they traveled. They kept the LORD’s command, at the commandment of the LORD by Moses.
