2 Mosebog 12
1 Derpaa talede HERREN til Moses og Aron i Ægypten og sagde:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 »Denne Maaned skal hos eder være Begyndelsesmaaneden, den skal hos eder være den første af Aarets Maaneder.
This month shall be unto you the chief of months: the first shall it be unto you of 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 unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, On the tenth day of this month they shall take to themselves every man a lamb for every family, a lamb for every house:
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.
And if the household be too small for a lamb, then shall he take it with his neighbor who is next unto his house, according to the number of the souls; every man according to what he eateth shall ye make a count for the lamb.
5 Det skal være et lydefrit, aargammelt Handyr, og I kan tage det enten blandt Faarene eller Gederne.
A lamb without blemish, a male of the first year shall ye have; from the sheep, or from the goats may ye take it.
6 I skal have det gaaende til den fjortende Dag i denne Maaned, og hele Israels Menigheds Forsamling skal slagte det ved Aftenstid.
And ye shall have it in keeping until the fourteenth day of the same month; and then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it toward 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, and put it on the two side-posts and on the upper door-post, in 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 in that night, roasted by the fire, with unleavened bread; together with bitter herbs shall they eat it.
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 of it raw, nor in any wise sodden with water; but roasted by the fire; its head with its legs, and with its entrails.
10 I maa intet levne deraf til næste Morgen, men hvad der bliver tilovers deraf til næste Morgen, skal I brænde.
And ye shall not let any thing of it remain until morning; and that which remaineth of it until morning ye shall burn 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 shall ye eat it, With your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste, it is passover unto 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 in this night, and I will smite every first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt will I 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 to you for a token upon the houses where ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and there shall be no plague against you to destroy, when I smite [others] in 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 unto you for a memorial; and ye shall celebrate it as a feast unto the Lord; throughout your generations, as an ordinance for ever shall ye celebrate it.
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 ye eat unleavened bread; but on the first day ye shall have put away leaven out of your houses; for whosoever eateth leavened bread, that soul shall be cut off from Israel, from the first day until the seventh day.
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.
And on the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done on them, save what is eaten by every man, that only may be prepared by you.
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 ye shall observe the unleavened bread; for on this selfsame day have I brought forth your armies out of the land of Egypt; therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations as an ordinance for ever.
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.
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, shall ye eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at 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 no leaven shall be found in your houses; for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or one born in the land.
20 I maa ikke nyde noget som helst syret; hvor I end bor, skal I spise usyret Brød.«
Nothing that is leavened shall ye eat; in all your habitations shall ye 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 for the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take for yourselves lambs according to your families, and kill the passover sacrifice.
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 ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out frown the door of his house until the 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.
And the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite.
24 Dette skal I varetage som en Anordning, der gælder for dig og dine Børn til evig Tid.
And ye shall observe this thing, as an ordinance for thee and for thy sons 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 it shall come to pass, when ye be come into the land which the Lord will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
26 Naar da eders Børn spørger eder: Hvad betyder den Skik, I der har?
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by 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.
That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the passover unto the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and our houses he spared; and the people bent the head and bowed themselves.
28 Og Israeliterne gik hen og gjorde, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses og Aron.
And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
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, that the Lord smote every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh that was to sit on his throne unto the first-born of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the first-born 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 Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not some 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 he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Eternal, as ye have spoken.
32 Tag ogsaa eders Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg med, som I har forlangt, og drag bort; og bed ogsaa om Velsignelse for mig!«
Also your flocks and your herds take, as ye have spoken, and be gone; and bless me also.
33 Og Ægypterne trængte paa Folket for at paaskynde deres Afrejse fra Landet, thi de sagde: »Vi mister alle Livet!«
And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to make haste to send them away out of the land; for they said, We are all dying.
34 Og Folket tog deres Dejg med sig, før den var syret, og de bar Dejgtrugene paa Skulderen, indsvøbte i deres Kapper.
And the people took up their dough before it was yet leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes upon 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 had done according to the word of Moses; and they had asked of the Egyptians vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments.
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 had given the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, so that they gave unto them what they required; and they emptied out Egypt.
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 journeyed from Ra'meses to Succoth, 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 also went up with them; and flocks, and herds, a very large amount of cattle.
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 of the dough, which they had brought forth out of Egypt, unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared any provisions for themselves.
40 Den Tid, Israeliterne havde boet i Ægypten, udgjorde 430 Aar.
Now the time of the residence of the children of Israel, which they dwelt 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.
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, and it happened even on the selfsame day, that all the armies of the Lord went out from 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.
A night to be observed was this unto the Lord to bring them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night holy to the Lord, to be observed by all the children of Israel in their generations.
43 HERREN sagde til Moses og Aron: »Dette er Ordningen angaaende Paaskelammet: Ingen fremmed maa spise deraf.
And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat thereof.
44 Men enhver Træl, der er købt for Penge, maa spise deraf, saafremt du har faaet ham omskaaret.
But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
45 Ingen indvandret eller Daglejer maa spise deraf.
A resident foreigner and a hired servant 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; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; and no bone shall ye break in it.
47 Hele Israels Menighed skal fejre Paasken.
All the congregation of Israel shall prepare 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 when a stranger sojourneth with thee, and will prepare the passover to the Lord, let his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and prepare it, and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49 En og samme Lov skal gælde for den indfødte i Landet og for den fremmede, der bor som Gæst hos eder.«
One law shall be to him that is home-born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
50 Og Israeliterne gjorde, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses og Aron.
And all the children of Israel did so; as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
51 Paa denne selv samme Dag førte HERREN Israeliterne ud af Ægypten, Hærskare for Hærskare.
And it came to pass on the selfsame day, that the Lord did bring forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
