2 Mosebog 12
1 Derpaa talede HERREN til Moses og Aron i Ægypten og sagde:
Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt. He said,
2 »Denne Maaned skal hos eder være Begyndelsesmaaneden, den skal hos eder være den første af Aarets Maaneder.
“For you, this month will be the start of months, the first month of the year to you.
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.
Tell the assembly of Israel, 'On the tenth day of this month they must each take a lamb or young goat for themselves, each family doing this, a lamb for each household.
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.
If the household is too small for a lamb, the man and his next door neighbor are to take lamb or young goat meat that will be enough for the number of the people. It should be enough for everyone to eat, so they must take enough meat to feed them all.
5 Det skal være et lydefrit, aargammelt Handyr, og I kan tage det enten blandt Faarene eller Gederne.
Your lamb or young goat must be without blemish, a one-year-old male. You may take one of the sheep or goats.
6 I skal have det gaaende til den fjortende Dag i denne Maaned, og hele Israels Menigheds Forsamling skal slagte det ved Aftenstid.
You must keep it until the fourteenth day of that month. Then the whole assembly of Israel must kill these animals at twilight.
7 Og de skal tage noget af Blodet og stryge det paa de to Dørstolper og Overliggeren i de Huse, hvor I spiser det.
You must take some of the blood and put it on the two side doorposts and on the tops of the doorframes of the houses in which you will eat the meat.
8 I skal spise Kødet samme Nat, stegt over Ilden, og I skal spise usyret Brød og bitre Urter dertil.
You must eat the meat that night, after first roasting it over a fire. Eat it with bread made without yeast, along with bitter herbs.
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.
Do not eat it raw or boiled in water. Instead, roast it over fire with its head, legs and inner parts.
10 I maa intet levne deraf til næste Morgen, men hvad der bliver tilovers deraf til næste Morgen, skal I brænde.
You must not let any of it be left over until morning. You must burn whatever is left over in the morning.
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.
This is how you must eat it: with your belt fastened, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand. You must eat it hurriedly. It is Yahweh's Passover.
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!
Yahweh says this: I will go through the land of Egypt in that night and attack all the firstborn of man and animal in the land of Egypt. I will bring punishment on all the gods of Egypt. I am Yahweh.
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.
The blood will be a sign on your houses for my coming to you. When I see the blood, I will pass over you when I attack the land of Egypt. This plague will not come on you and destroy you.
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.
This day will become a memorial day for you, which you must observe as a festival for Yahweh. It will always be a law for you, throughout your people's generations, that you must observe this day.
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.
You will eat bread without yeast during seven days. On the first day you will remove the yeast from your houses. Whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person must be cut off from 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.
On the first day there will be an assembly that is set apart to me, and on the seventh day there will be another such gathering. No work will be done on these days, except the cooking for everyone to eat. That must be the only work that may be done 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.
You must observe this Festival of Unleavened Bread because it is on this day that I will have brought your people, armed group by armed group, out of the land of Egypt. So you must observe this day throughout your people's generations. This will always be a law for you.
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.
You must eat unleavened bread from twilight of the fourteenth day in the first month of the year, until twilight of the twenty-first day of the month.
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.
During these seven days, no yeast must be found in your houses. Whoever eats bread made with yeast must be cut off from the community of Israel, whether that person is a foreigner or someone born in your land.
20 I maa ikke nyde noget som helst syret; hvor I end bor, skal I spise usyret Brød.«
You must eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live, you must eat bread made without yeast.'”
21 Da kaldte Moses alle Israels Ældste sammen og sagde til dem: »Gaa ud og hent eder Smaakvæg til eders Familier og slagt Paaskeofferet;
Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go and select lambs or kids that will be enough to feed your families and kill the Passover lamb.
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.
Then take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that will be in a basin. Apply the blood in the basin to the top of the doorframe and the two doorposts. None of you is to go out of 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.
For Yahweh will pass through to attack the Egyptians. When he sees the blood on the top of the doorframe and on the two doorposts, he will pass over your door and not permit the destroyer to come into your houses to attack you.
24 Dette skal I varetage som en Anordning, der gælder for dig og dine Børn til evig Tid.
You must observe this event. This will always be a law for you and your descendants.
25 Og naar I kommer til det Land, HERREN vil give eder, saaledes som han har forjættet, saa skal I overholde denne Skik.
When you enter the land that Yahweh will give you, just as he has promised to do, you must observe this act of worship.
26 Naar da eders Børn spørger eder: Hvad betyder den Skik, I der har?
When your children ask you, 'What does this act of worship mean?'
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.
then you must say, 'It is the sacrifice of Yahweh's Passover, because Yahweh passed over the Israelites' houses in Egypt when he attacked the Egyptians. He set our households free.'” Then the people bowed down and worshiped Yahweh.
28 Og Israeliterne gik hen og gjorde, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses og Aron.
The Israelites went and did exactly as Yahweh 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.
It happened at midnight that Yahweh attacked all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the person in 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.
Pharaoh got up in the night—he, all his servants, and all the Egyptians. There was loud lamenting in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not someone 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.
Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron in the night and said, “Get up, get out from among my people, you and the Israelites. Go, worship Yahweh, as you have said you wanted to do.
32 Tag ogsaa eders Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg med, som I har forlangt, og drag bort; og bed ogsaa om Velsignelse for mig!«
Take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go, and also bless me.”
33 Og Ægypterne trængte paa Folket for at paaskynde deres Afrejse fra Landet, thi de sagde: »Vi mister alle Livet!«
The Egyptians were in a great hurry to send them out of the land, for they said, “We will all die.”
34 Og Folket tog deres Dejg med sig, før den var syret, og de bar Dejgtrugene paa Skulderen, indsvøbte i deres Kapper.
So the people took their dough without adding any yeast. Their kneading bowls were already tied up in their clothes and on their shoulders.
35 Men Israeliterne havde gjort, som Moses havde sagt, og bedt Ægypterne om Sølv og Guldsmykker og om Klæder;
Now the people of Israel did as Moses told them. They asked the Egyptians for articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing.
36 og HERREN havde stemt Ægypterne gunstigt mod Folket, saa de havde givet dem, hvad de bad om. Saaledes tog de Bytte fra Ægypterne.
Yahweh made the Egyptians eager to please the Israelites. So the Egyptians gave them whatever they asked for. In this way, the Israelites plundered the Egyptians.
37 Saa brød Israeliterne op fra Ra'meses til Sukkot, henved 600 000 Mand til Fods foruden Kvinder og Børn.
The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth. They numbered about 600,000 men on foot, in addition to the women and children.
38 Desuden fulgte en stor Hob sammenløbet Folk med og dertil Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg, en vældig Mængde Kvæg.
A mixed multitude also went with them, together with flocks and herds, a very large number of livestock.
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.
They baked bread without yeast in the dough that they brought from Egypt. It was without yeast because they had been driven out of Egypt and could not delay to prepare food.
40 Den Tid, Israeliterne havde boet i Ægypten, udgjorde 430 Aar.
The Israelites had lived in Egypt for 430 years.
41 Netop paa den Dag da de 430 Aar var til Ende, drog alle HERRENS Hærskarer ud af Ægypten.
At the end of 430 years, on that very day, all of Yahweh's armed groups 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.
This was a night to stay awake, for Yahweh to bring them out from the land of Egypt. This was Yahweh's night to be observed by all the Israelites throughout their people's generations.
43 HERREN sagde til Moses og Aron: »Dette er Ordningen angaaende Paaskelammet: Ingen fremmed maa spise deraf.
Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “Here is the rule for the Passover: No foreigner may share in eating it.
44 Men enhver Træl, der er købt for Penge, maa spise deraf, saafremt du har faaet ham omskaaret.
However, every Israelite's slave, bought with money, may eat it after you have circumcised him.
45 Ingen indvandret eller Daglejer maa spise deraf.
Foreigners and hired servants must not eat any of the food.
46 Det skal spises i et og samme Hus, og intet af Kødet maa bringes ud af Huset; I maa ikke sønderbryde dets Ben.
The food must be eaten in one house. You must not carry any of the meat out of the house, and you must not break any bone of it.
47 Hele Israels Menighed skal fejre Paasken.
All the community of Israel must observe the festival.
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.
If a foreigner lives with you and wants to observe the Passover to Yahweh, all his male relatives must be circumcised. Then he may come and observe it. He will become like the people who were born in the land. However, no uncircumcised person may eat any of the food.
49 En og samme Lov skal gælde for den indfødte i Landet og for den fremmede, der bor som Gæst hos eder.«
This same law will apply to both the native born and to the foreigner who lives among you.”
50 Og Israeliterne gjorde, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses og Aron.
So all the Israelites did exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron.
51 Paa denne selv samme Dag førte HERREN Israeliterne ud af Ægypten, Hærskare for Hærskare.
It came about that very day that Yahweh brought Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armed groups.
