2 Mosebog 30
1 Fremdeles skal du lave et Alter til at brænde Røgelse paa: af Akacietræ skal du lave det,
“[Tell the skilled workers to] make an altar from acacia wood, for burning incense.
2 en Alen langt og en Alen bredt, firkantet skal det være, og to Alen højt, og dets Horn skal være i eet med det.
It is to be square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It is to be (3 feet/90 cm.) high. [Tell them to] make [a projection that looks like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections must be carved from the same block of wood that the altar [is made from].
3 Du skal overtrække det med purt Guld, baade Pladen og Siderne hele Vejen rundt og Hornene, og sætte en Guldkrans rundt om;
[They must] cover the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. Put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].
4 og du skal sætte to Guldringe under Kransen paa begge Sider, paa begge Sidestykkerne skal du sætte dem til at stikke Bærestænger i, for at det kan bæres med dem;
[They must] make two gold rings for carrying the altar. [They must] attach them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. These rings are for the poles for carrying the altar.
5 og Bærestængerne skal du lave af Akacietræ og overtrække med Guld.
[Tell them to] make these [two] poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold.
6 Derpaa skal du opstille det foran Forhænget, der hænger foran Vidnesbyrdets Ark, foran Sonedækket oven over Vidnesbyrdet der, hvor jeg vil aabenbare mig for dig.
[They must] put this altar outside the curtain that hangs in front of the sacred chest and its lid. That is the place where I will talk with you.
7 Paa det skal Aron brænde vellugtende Røgelse; hver Morgen, naar han gør Lamperne i Stand, skal han antænde den.
Aaron must burn sweet-smelling incense on this altar. He must burn some every morning when he takes care of the lamps,
8 Og naar Aron sætter Lamperne paa Lysestagen ved Aftenstid, skal han ligeledes antænde den; det skal være et stadigt Røgelseoffer for HERRENS Aasyn fra Slægt til Slægt.
and he must burn some in the evening when he lights the lamps. The incense must be burned continually, throughout all future generations.
9 I maa ikke ofre et lovstridigt Røgelseoffer derpaa, ej heller Brændofre eller Afgrødeofre, lige saa lidt som I maa udgyde Drikofre derpaa.
The priests must not burn on the altar any incense that I have not told you to burn, or burn any animal on it, or any grain offering for me, or pour any wine on it as an offering.
10 Men een Gang om Aaret skal Aron skaffe Soning paa dets Horn; med noget af Forsoningssyndofferets Blod skal han een Gang om Aaret skaffe Soning paa det, Slægt efter Slægt. Det er højhelligt for HERREN.
One time every year Aaron must perform the ritual for making this altar pure. He must do it by putting on its four projections some of the blood from the animal that was sacrificed (to remove the guilt of the people’s sins/so that the people would no longer be guilty for sins). This ritual is to be done by Aaron and his descendants throughout all future generations. This altar must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.”
11 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
12 Naar du holder Mandtal over Israeliterne, skal enhver, som mønstres, ved Mønstringen give HERREN Sonepenge for sit Liv, at ingen Ulykke skal ramme dem i Anledning af Mønstringen.
“When your [leaders] (take a census of/count) the Israeli people, each man [who is counted] must pay to me a price to save his life. They must do this in order that no disaster will happen to them while the people are being counted.
13 Enhver, der maa underkaste sig Mønstringen, skal udrede en halv Sekel i hellig Mønt, tyve Gera paa en Sekel, en halv Sekel som Offerydelse til HERREN.
Every man who is counted must pay to me (0.2 ounces/5.7 grams) of silver. They must use the official standard when they weigh the silver.
14 Enhver, der maa underkaste sig Mønstringen, fra Tyveaarsalderen og opefter, skal udrede HERRENS Offerydelse.
All the men who are at least 20 years old must pay this amount to me when the people are counted.
15 Den rige maa ikke give mere, den fattige ikke mindre end en halv Sekel, naar de bringer HERRENS Offerydelse til Soning for deres Sjæle.
Rich men must not pay more than this amount, and poor men must not pay less than this amount, when they pay this money to save their lives.
16 Og du skal tage Sonepengene af Israeliterne og bruge dem til Tjenesten ved Aabenbaringsteltet, og de skal tjene til at bringe Israeliterne i Minde for HERRENS Aasyn, til Soning for eders Sjæle.
Your leaders must collect this money from the Israeli people and give it to [those who will] take care of the Sacred Tent. This money is the payment for the lives of those who take care of the Sacred Tent, (to enable me not to forget them/and then I will remember to protect them).”
17 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me,
18 Du skal lave en Vandkumme med Fodstykke af Kobber til at tvætte sig i op opstille den mellem Aabenbaringsteltet og Alteret og hælde Vand i den,
“[Tell the skilled workers to] make a bronze washbasin and a bronze base for it. [They must] put it between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
19 for at Aron og hans Sønner kan tvætte deres Hænder og Fødder deri.
Aaron and his sons must ritually wash their hands and their feet with this water
20 Naar de gaar ind i Aabenbaringsteltet, skal de tvætte sig med Vand for ikke at dø; ligeledes naar de træder hen til Alteret for at gøre Tjeneste og brænde Ildofre for HERREN.
before they enter the Sacred Tent and before they come to the altar to sacrifice offerings that will be burned on it. If [they do that], they will not die [because of disobeying my instructions].
21 De skal tvætte deres Hænder og Fødder for ikke at dø. Det skal være en evig Anordning for ham og hans Afkom fra Slægt til Slægt.
They must wash their hands and their feet, in order that they will not die. They and the males descended from them must obey this ritual throughout all generations.”
22 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 Du skal tage dig vellugtende Stoffer af den bedste Slags, 500 Sekel ædel Myrra, halvt saa meget. 250 Sekel, vellugtende Kanelbark, 250 Sekel vellugtende Kalmus
“[Tell the people to] collect some of the finest spices— (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (liquid myrrh/sweet-smelling sap named myrrh), (6 pounds/3 kg.) of sweet-smelling cinnamon, (6 pounds/3 kg.) of a sweet-smelling cane/reed,
24 og 500 Sekel Kassia, efter hellig Vægt, og en Hin Olivenolie.
and (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (cassia/a sweet-smelling bark named cassia). [Be sure] that they use the official standard when they weigh these things. Tell an expert perfumer to mix these with (one gallon/four liters) of olive oil
25 Deraf skal du tilberede en hellig Salveolie, en krydret Blanding, som Salveblanderne laver den; en hellig Salveolie skal det være.
to make sacred oil for anointing.
26 Med den skal du salve Aabenbaringsteltet, Vidnesbyrdets Ark,
Use this oil for anointing the Sacred Tent, the sacred chest,
27 Bordet med alt dets Tilbehør, Lysestagen med dens Tilbehør, Røgelsealteret,
the table and all the things that are used with it, the lampstand and all the things that are used to take care of it, the altar for [burning] incense,
28 Brændofferalteret med alt dets Tilbehør og Vandkummen med dens Fodstykke,
and the altar for offering sacrifices that will be burned, along with its bases and the washbasin and all the things that are used with it.
29 Saaledes skal du hellige dem, saa de bliver højhellige. Enhver, der kommer i Berøring med dem, bliver hellig.
Dedicate them by anointing them, in order that they will be completely holy/sacred. Anyone or anything that touches the altar will become taboo.
30 Ligeledes skal du salve Aron og hans Sønner og hellige dem til at gøre Præstetjeneste for mig.
And anoint Aaron and his sons. [By doing that], you will dedicate them to serve me [by being] priests.
31 Men til Israeliterne skal du sige saaledes: Dette skal være mig en hellig Salveolie fra Slægt til Slægt.
And tell the Israeli people, ‘This oil will be my sacred anointing oil that must be used throughout all future generations.
32 Den maa ikke udgydes paa noget Menneskes Legeme, og i denne Blanding maa I ikke tilberede lignende Salve til eget Brug, hellig er den, og hellig skal den være eder.
You must not pour it on the bodies of people who are not priests, and you must not make other oil to be like it by mixing the same amount of those things. This oil is sacred, and you must consider it to be sacred.’
33 Den, der tilbereder lignende Salve eller anvender den paa en Lægmand, skal udryddes af sin Slægt.
I will consider that anyone who makes ointment like this [for any other purpose], and anyone who puts any of this ointment on someone who is not a priest, no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
34 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde: Tag dig Røgelseoffer, Stakte, Onyksmusling, Galbanum og ren Virak, lige meget af hvert,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “[Tell the people to] take equal parts of several sweet spices—stacte, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense—
35 og tilbered deraf en krydret Røgelse, som Salveblanderne laver den, saltet, ren, til hellig Brug.
and tell an expert perfumer to mix them together to make some perfume. Add some salt to keep it pure and make it holy.
36 Deraf skal du støde en Del til Pulver, og noget deraf skal du lægge foran Vidnesbyrdet i Aabenbaringsteltet, hvor jeg vil aabenbare mig for dig. Det skal være eder højhelligt.
Beat some of it into a fine powder. Then take some of it into the Sacred Tent and sprinkle it in front of the sacred chest. You must all consider this incense to be very holy.
37 Den Røgelse, du tilbereder i denne Blanding, maa I ikke tilberede til eget Brug. Hellig skal den være dig for HERREN.
The people must not mix the same spices to make incense for themselves. This incense must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.
38 Den, der tilbereder lignende Røgelse for at nyde dens Duft, skal udryddes af sin Slægt.
I will consider that anyone who makes incense like this to use it for perfume will no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
