< Ezekiel 44 >

1 Derpaa førte han mig tilbage ad Helligdommens ydre Østport til, og den var lukket.
And he causes me to turn back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that is looking eastward, and it is shut.
2 Og HERREN sagde til mig: Denne Port skal være lukket og maa ikke aabnes! Ingen maa gaa ind derigennem, thi igennem den drog HERREN, Israels Gud, ind; derfor skal den være lukket.
And YHWH says to me, “This gate is shut, it is not opened, and none go in by it, for YHWH, God of Israel, has come in by it, and it has been shut.
3 Kun Fyrsten maa sidde i den og holde Maaltid for HERRENS Aasyn; men han skal gaa ind igennem Portforhallens Dør og samme Vej ud.
The prince, who [is] prince, he sits by it to eat bread before YHWH, he comes in by the way of the porch of the gate, and by its way he goes out.”
4 Derpaa førte han mig i Retning af Nordporten til Pladsen foran Templet, og jeg skuede, og se, HERRENS Herlighed fyldte HERRENS Hus, og jeg faldt paa mit Ansigt.
And he brings me in the way of the north gate to the front of the house, and I look, and behold, the glory of YHWH has filled the house of YHWH, and I fall on my face.
5 Da sagde HERREN til mig: Menneskesøn, mærk dig og se med dine Øjne og hør med dine Ører alt, hvad jeg taler til dig med Hensyn til alle Vedtægter og Love om HERRENS Hus, og læg vel Mærke til, hvad der gælder om Adgang til Templet gennem en hvilken som helst af Helligdommens Udgange.
And YHWH says to me, “Son of man, set your heart, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, all that I am speaking with you, all of the statutes of the house of YHWH, and all of its laws; and you have set your heart to the entrance of the house, with all the outlets of the sanctuary,
6 Og sig til Israels Hus, den genstridige Slægt: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Lad det nu være nok med alle eders Vederstyggeligheder, Israels Hus,
and have said to [the] rebellion, to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Enough from you—of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
7 at I lod fremmede med uomskaarne Hjerter og uomskaaret Kød komme ind i min Helligdom, for at de skulde være der og vanhellige mit Hus, naar I frembar min Mad, Fedt og Blod og saaledes brød min Pagt ved alle eders Vederstyggeligheder.
In your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to defile it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat, and blood, and they break My covenant by all your abominations,
8 I tog ikke Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage ved mine hellige Ting, men overlod de fremmede at tage Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage i min Helligdom.
and you have not kept [the] charge of My holy things, and you set [others] for keeping My charge in My sanctuary for you.
9 Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ingen fremmed med uomskaaret Hjerte og uomskaaret Kød maa komme i min Helligdom, ikke een af de fremmede, som lever blandt Israels Børn.
Thus said Lord YHWH: No son of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, comes into My sanctuary, even any son of a stranger, who [is] in the midst of the sons of Israel.
10 Men de Leviter, som fjernede sig fra mig, da Israel for vild, idet de for vild fra mig og holdt sig til deres Afgudsbilleder, de skal bære deres Misgerning.
And the Levites who have gone far off from Me, in the wandering of Israel when they went astray from Me after their idols, and they have borne their iniquity.
11 De skal i min Helligdom gøre Vagttjeneste ved Tempelportene og udføre Arbejdet i Templet, idet de skal slagte Brændofrene og Slagtofrene for Folket og staa dem til Tjeneste og gaa dem til Haande.
And they have been servants in My sanctuary, overseers at the gates of the house, and servants at the house; they slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they stand before them to serve them.
12 Fordi de gik dem til Haande over for deres Afgudsbilleder og saaledes blev Aarsag til Skyld for Israels Hus, derfor løfter jeg min Haand imod dem, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, paa at de skal bære deres Misgerning.
Because that they serve them before their idols, and have been for a stumbling-block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up My hand against them—a declaration of Lord YHWH—and they have borne their iniquity.
13 De maa ikke nærme sig mig for at gøre Præstetjeneste for mig, ej heller maa de nærme sig nogen af mine hellige Ting, det højhellige, men de skal bære deres Skændsel og de Vederstyggeligheder, de øvede.
And they do not draw near to Me to act as My priest, and to draw near to any of My holy things, to the Holy of Holies, and they have borne their shame and their abominations that they have done,
14 Jeg sætter dem til at tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage i Templet ved alt Arbejde der, ved alt, hvad der er at gøre derinde.
and I made them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service and for all that is done in it.
15 Men Levitpræsterne, Zadoks Efterkommere, som tog Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage i min Helligdom, dengang Israeliterne for vild fra mig, skal nærme sig mig for at gaa mig til Haande og være mig til Tjeneste og ofre mig Fedt og Blod, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel from off Me, they draw near to Me to serve Me, and have stood before Me, to bring fat and blood near to Me—a declaration of Lord YHWH:
16 De skal gaa ind i min Helligdom og nærme sig mit Bord for at gaa mig til Haande og tage Vare paa, hvad jeg vil have varetaget.
they come into My sanctuary, and they draw near to My table to serve Me, and they have kept My charge.
17 Og naar de gaar ind ad den indre Forgaards Port, skal de være iført Linnedklæder; de maa ikke have Uld paa Kroppen, naar de gør Tjeneste i den indre Forgaards Porte eller længere inde.
And it has come to pass, in their going into the gates of the inner court, they put on linen garments; and no wool comes up on them in their ministering in the gates of the inner court and within.
18 De skal bære Linnedhuer paa Hovedet og Linnedbenklæder om Lænderne; de maa ikke omgjorde sig med noget, som fremkalder Sved.
Linen headdresses are on their head, and linen trousers are on their loins, they are not restrained with sweat.
19 Og naar de gaar ud i den ydre Forgaard til Folket, skal de afføre sig de Klæder, i hvilke de gør Tjeneste, gemme dem i Helligdommens Kamre og iføre sig andre Klæder, at de ikke skal gøre Folket helligt med deres Klæder.
And in their going forth to the outer court—to the outer court to the people—they strip off their garments, in which they are ministering, and have placed them in the holy chambers, and have put on other garments; and they do not sanctify the people in their own garments.
20 Hovedet maa de ikke rage, dog heller ikke lade Haaret vokse frit, men de skal klippe deres Haar.
And they do not shave their head, and they do not send forth the lock; they certainly trim their heads.
21 Vin maa ingen Præst drikke, naar han gaar ind i den indre Forgaard.
And no priest drinks wine in their coming into the inner court.
22 Enke eller fraskilt maa de ikke tage til Ægte, men kun Jomfruer af Israels Hus; dog maa de ægte Enken efter en Præst.
And they do not take a widow or divorced woman to themselves for wives, but they take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, and the widow who is widow of a priest.
23 De skal lære mit Folk at skelne mellem det, som er helligt, og det, som ikke er helligt, og undervise dem i Forskellen mellem rent og urent.
And they direct My people between holy and common, and they cause them to discern between unclean and clean.
24 Ved Retstrætter skal de optræde som Dommere; efter mine Lovbud skal de dømme. De skal overholde mine Love og Vedtægter paa alle mine Højtidsdage og helligholde mine Sabbater.
And concerning controversy, they stand up for judgment; they judge it with My judgments; and they keep My law and My statutes in all My appointed places; and they sanctify My Sabbaths.
25 Et Lig maa de ikke komme nær, at de ikke skal blive urene derved; kun ved Fader, Moder, Søn, Datter, Broder eller ugift Søster maa de gøre sig urene;
And he does not come near to any dead man to be defiled, but if for father, and for mother, and for son, and for daughter, for brother, for sister who has not been to a man, they may defile themselves.
26 og efter at være blevet uren skal han tælle syv Dage frem, saa er han atter ren;
And after his cleansing, they number seven days to him.
27 den Dag han atter gaar ind i Helligdommen, i den indre Forgaard, for at gøre Tjeneste i Helligdommen, skal han frembære et Syndoffer, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
And in the day of his coming into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he brings his sin-offering near—a declaration of Lord YHWH.
28 De skal ingen Arvelod have; jeg er deres Arvelod. Og Ejendom i Israel maa I ikke give dem; jeg er deres Ejendom.
And it has been for an inheritance to them; I [am] their inheritance, and you do not give a possession to them in Israel; I [am] their possession.
29 Afgrødeofferet, Syndofferet og Skyldofferet skal de spise, og alt, hvad der er lagt Band paa i Israel, skal tilfalde dem.
The present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, they eat, and every devoted thing in Israel is theirs.
30 Det bedste af al Førstegrøde af enhver Art, alle Offerydelser af enhver Art, alt, hvad I maatte yde, skal tilfalde Præsterne, og Førstegrøden af eders Grovmel skal I give Præsten for at nedkalde Velsignelse over eders Huse.
And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every raised-offering of all, of all your raised-offerings, are the priests’; and you give the first of your dough to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.
31 Intet Aadsel og intet, som er sønderrevet, være sig Fugl eller firføddet Dyr, maa Præsterne spise.
The priests do not eat any carcass or torn thing, from the bird or from the beast.”
