< 2 Mosebog 12 >

1 Derpaa talede HERREN til Moses og Aron i Ægypten og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt:
2 »Denne Maaned skal hos eder være Begyndelsesmaaneden, den skal hos eder være den første af Aarets Maaneder.
This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first in the months of the year.
3 Tal til hele Israels Menighed og sig: Paa den tiende Dag i denne Maaned skal hver Familiefader tage et Lam, et Lam for hver Familie.
Speak ye to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, and say to them: On the tenth day of this month let every man take a lamb by their families and houses.
4 Og dersom en Familie er for lille til et Lam, skal han sammen med sin nærmeste Nabo tage et Lam, svarende til Personernes Antal; hvor mange der skal være om et Lam, skal I beregne efter, hvad hver enkelt kan spise.
But if the number be less than may suffice to eat the lamb, he shall take unto him his neighbour that joineth to his house, according to the number of souls which may be enough to eat the lamb.
5 Det skal være et lydefrit, aargammelt Handyr, og I kan tage det enten blandt Faarene eller Gederne.
And it shall be a lamb without blemish, a male, of one year: according to which rite also you shall take a kid.
6 I skal have det gaaende til den fjortende Dag i denne Maaned, og hele Israels Menigheds Forsamling skal slagte det ved Aftenstid.
And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month: and the whole multitude of the children of Israel shall sacrifice it in the evening.
7 Og de skal tage noget af Blodet og stryge det paa de to Dørstolper og Overliggeren i de Huse, hvor I spiser det.
And they shall take of the blood thereof, and put it upon both the side posts, and on the upper door posts of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
8 I skal spise Kødet samme Nat, stegt over Ilden, og I skal spise usyret Brød og bitre Urter dertil.
And they shall eat the flesh that night roasted at the fire, and unleavened bread with wild lettuce.
9 I maa ikke spise noget deraf raat eller kogt i Vand, men kun stegt over Ilden, og Hoved, Ben og Indmad maa ikke være skilt fra.
You shall not eat thereof any thing raw, nor boiled in water, but only roasted at the fire: you shall eat the head with the feet and entrails thereof.
10 I maa intet levne deraf til næste Morgen, men hvad der bliver tilovers deraf til næste Morgen, skal I brænde.
Neither shall there remain any thing of it until morning. If there be any thing left, you shall burn it with fire.
11 Og naar I spiser det, skal I have Bælte om Lænden, Sko paa Fødderne og Stav i Haanden, og I skal spise det i største Hast. Det er Paaske for HERREN.
And thus you shall eat it: you shall gird your reins, and you shall have shoes on your feet, holding staves in your hands, and you shall eat in haste: for it is the Phase (that is the Passage) of the Lord.
12 I denne Nat vil jeg drage igennem Ægypten og ihjelslaa alt det førstefødte i Ægypten baade blandt Folk og Fæ; og over alle Ægyptens Guder vil jeg holde Dom. Jeg er HERREN!
And I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and will kill every firstborn in the land of Egypt both man and beast: and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord.
13 Men for eder skal Blodet paa Husene, hvor I er, tjene som Tegn, og jeg vil se Blodet og gaa eder forbi; intet ødelæggende Slag skal ramme eder, naar jeg slaar Ægypten.
And the blood shall be unto you for a sign in the houses where you shall be: and I shall see the blood, and shall pass over you: and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I shall strike the land of Egypt.
14 Denne Dag skal være eder en Mindedag, og I skal fejre den som en Højtid for HERREN, Slægt efter Slægt; som en evig gyldig Ordning skal I fejre den.
And this day shall be for a memorial to you: and you shall keep it a feast to the Lord in your generations with an everlasting observance.
15 I syv Dage skal I spise usyret Brød. Straks den første Dag skal I skaffe al Surdejg bort af eders Huse; thi hver den, som spiser noget syret fra den første til den syvende Dag, det Menneske skal udryddes af Israel.
Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread: in the first day there shall be no leaven in your houses: whosoever shall eat any thing leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall perish out of Israel.
16 Paa den første Dag skal I holde Højtidsstævne og ligeledes paa den syvende Dag. Intet Arbejde maa udføres paa dem; kun det, enhver behøver til Føde, det og intet andet maa I tilberede.
The first day shall be holy and solemn, and the seventh day shall be kept with the like solemnity: you shall do no work in them, except those things that belong to eating.
17 I skal holde det usyrede Brøds Højtid, thi paa denne selv samme Dag førte jeg eders Hærskarer ud af Ægypten, derfor skal I højtideligholde denne Dag i alle kommende Slægtled som en evig gyldig Ordning.
And you shall observe the feast of the unleavened bread: for in this same day I will bring forth your army out of the land of Egypt, and you shall keep this day in your generations by a perpetual observance.
18 Paa den fjortende Dag i den første Maaned om Aftenen skal I spise usyret Brød og vedblive dermed indtil Maanedens en og tyvende Dag om Aftenen.
The first month, the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the same month in the evening.
19 I syv Dage maa der ikke findes Surdejg i eders Huse, thi hver den, som spiser noget syret, det Menneske skal udryddes af Israels Menighed, de fremmede saa vel som de indfødte i Landet.
Seven days there shall not be found any leaven in your houses: he that shall eat leavened bread, his soul shall perish out of the assembly of Israel, whether he be a stranger or born in the land.
20 I maa ikke nyde noget som helst syret; hvor I end bor, skal I spise usyret Brød.«
You shall not eat any thing leavened: in all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread.
21 Da kaldte Moses alle Israels Ældste sammen og sagde til dem: »Gaa ud og hent eder Smaakvæg til eders Familier og slagt Paaskeofferet;
And Moses called all the ancients of the children of Israel, and said to them: Go take a lamb by your families, and sacrifice the Phase.
22 og tag eder Ysopkoste, dyp dem i Blodet i Fadet og stryg noget deraf paa Overliggeren og de to Dørstolper; og ingen af eder maa gaa ud af sin Husdør før i Morgen.
And dip a bunch of hyssop in the blood that is at the door, and sprinkle the transom of the door therewith, and both the door cheeks: let none of you go out of the door of his house till morning.
23 Thi HERREN vil gaa omkring og slaa Ægypterne, og naar han da ser Blodet paa Overliggeren og de to Dørstolper, vil han gaa Døren forbi og ikke give Ødelæggeren Adgang til eders Huse for at slaa eder.
For the Lord will pass through striking the Egyptians: and when he shall see the blood on the transom, and on both the posts, he will pass over the door of the house, and not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses and to hurt you.
24 Dette skal I varetage som en Anordning, der gælder for dig og dine Børn til evig Tid.
Thou shalt keep this thing as a law for thee and thy children for ever.
25 Og naar I kommer til det Land, HERREN vil give eder, saaledes som han har forjættet, saa skal I overholde denne Skik.
And when you have entered into the land which the Lord will give you as he hath promised, you shall observe these ceremonies.
26 Naar da eders Børn spørger eder: Hvad betyder den Skik, I der har?
And when your children shall say to you: What is the meaning of this service?
27 saa skal I svare: Det er Paaskeoffer for HERREN, fordi han gik Israeliternes Huse forbi i Ægypten, dengang han slog Ægypterne, men lod vore Huse urørte!« Da bøjede Folket sig og tilbad.
You shall say to them: It is the victim of the passage of the Lord, when he passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, striking the Egyptians, and saving our houses. And the people bowing themselves, adored.
28 Og Israeliterne gik hen og gjorde, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses og Aron.
And the children of Israel going forth did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.
29 Men ved Midnatstid ihjelslog HERREN alle de førstefødte i Ægypten lige fra Faraos førstefødte, der skulde arve hans Trone, til den førstefødte hos Fangen, der sad i Fangehullet, og alt det førstefødte af Kvæget.
And it came to pass at midnight, the Lord slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharao, who sat on his throne, unto the firstborn of the captive woman that was in the prison, and all the firstborn of cattle.
30 Da stod Farao op om Natten tillige med alle sine Tjenere og alle Ægypterne, og der lød et højt Klageskrig i Ægypten, thi der var intet Hus, hvor der ikke fandtes en død.
And Pharao arose in the night, and all his servants, and all Egypt: for there was not a house wherein there lay not one dead.
31 Og han lod Moses og Aron kalde om Natten og sagde: »Bryd op og drag bort fra mit Folk, I selv og alle Israeliterne, og drag ud og dyrk HERREN, som I har forlangt.
And Pharao calling Moses and Aaron, in the night, said: Arise and go forth from among my people, you and the children of Israel: go, sacrifice to the Lord as you say.
32 Tag ogsaa eders Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg med, som I har forlangt, og drag bort; og bed ogsaa om Velsignelse for mig!«
Your sheep and herds take along with you, as you demanded, and departing, bless me.
33 Og Ægypterne trængte paa Folket for at paaskynde deres Afrejse fra Landet, thi de sagde: »Vi mister alle Livet!«
And the Egyptians pressed the people to go forth out of the land speedily, saying: We shall all die.
34 Og Folket tog deres Dejg med sig, før den var syret, og de bar Dejgtrugene paa Skulderen, indsvøbte i deres Kapper.
The people therefore took dough before it was leavened: and tying it in their cloaks, put it on their shoulders.
35 Men Israeliterne havde gjort, som Moses havde sagt, og bedt Ægypterne om Sølv og Guldsmykker og om Klæder;
And the children of Israel did as Moses had commanded: and they asked of the Egyptians vessels of silver and gold, and very much raiment.
36 og HERREN havde stemt Ægypterne gunstigt mod Folket, saa de havde givet dem, hvad de bad om. Saaledes tog de Bytte fra Ægypterne.
And the Lord gave favour to the people in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them: and they stripped the Egyptians.
37 Saa brød Israeliterne op fra Ra'meses til Sukkot, henved 600 000 Mand til Fods foruden Kvinder og Børn.
And the children of Israel set forward from Ramesse to Socoth, being about six hundred thousand men on foot, beside children.
38 Desuden fulgte en stor Hob sammenløbet Folk med og dertil Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg, en vældig Mængde Kvæg.
And a mixed multitude without number went up also with them, sheep and herds and beasts of divers kinds, exceeding many.
39 Og af den Dejg, de havde bragt med fra Ægypten, bagte de usyret Brød; den var nemlig ikke syret, de var jo drevet ud af Ægypten uden at faa Tid til noget; de havde ikke engang tilberedt sig Tæring til Rejsen.
And they baked the meal, which a little before they had brought out of Egypt, in dough: and they made earth cakes unleavened: for it could not be leavened, the Egyptians pressing them to depart, and not suffering them to make any stay: neither did they think of preparing any meat.
40 Den Tid, Israeliterne havde boet i Ægypten, udgjorde 430 Aar.
And the abode of the children of Israel that they made in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
41 Netop paa den Dag da de 430 Aar var til Ende, drog alle HERRENS Hærskarer ud af Ægypten.
Which being expired, the same day all the army of the Lord went forth out of the land of Egypt.
42 En Vaagenat var det for HERREN, i hvilken han vilde føre dem ud af Ægypten. Den Nat er viet HERREN, en Vaagenat for alle Israeliterne, Slægt efter Slægt.
This is the observable night of the Lord, when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: this night all the children of Israel must observe in their generations.
43 HERREN sagde til Moses og Aron: »Dette er Ordningen angaaende Paaskelammet: Ingen fremmed maa spise deraf.
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: This is the service of the Phase: No foreigner shall eat of it.
44 Men enhver Træl, der er købt for Penge, maa spise deraf, saafremt du har faaet ham omskaaret.
But every bought servant shall be circumcised, and so shall eat.
45 Ingen indvandret eller Daglejer maa spise deraf.
The stranger and the hireling shall not eat thereof.
46 Det skal spises i et og samme Hus, og intet af Kødet maa bringes ud af Huset; I maa ikke sønderbryde dets Ben.
In one house shall it be eaten, neither shall you carry forth of the flesh thereof out of the house, neither shall you break a bone thereof.
47 Hele Israels Menighed skal fejre Paasken.
All the assembly of the children of Israel shall keep it.
48 Dersom en fremmed bor som Gæst hos dig og vil fejre Paaske for HERREN, da skal alle af Mandkøn hos ham omskæres; saa maa han være med til at fejre den, og han skal være ligestillet med den indfødte i Landet; men ingen uomskaaren maa spise deraf.
And if any stranger be willing to dwell among you, and to keep the Phase of the Lord, all his males shall first be circumcised, and then shall he celebrate it according to the manner: and he shall be as he that is born in the land: but if any man be uncircumcised, he shall not eat thereof.
49 En og samme Lov skal gælde for den indfødte i Landet og for den fremmede, der bor som Gæst hos eder.«
The same law shall be to him that is born in the land, and to the proselyte that sojourneth with you.
50 Og Israeliterne gjorde, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses og Aron.
And all the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.
51 Paa denne selv samme Dag førte HERREN Israeliterne ud af Ægypten, Hærskare for Hærskare.
And the same day the Lord brought forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their companies.
