3 Mosebog 10

1 Men Arons Sønner Nadab og Abihu tog hver sin Pande, kom Ild i dem og lagde Røgelse derpaa og frembar for HERRENS Aasyn fremmed Ild, som han ikke havde paalagt dem.

Now Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense, and offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to His command.

2 Da for Ild ud fra HERRENS Aasyn og fortærede dem, saa de døde for HERRENS Aasyn.

So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died in the presence of the LORD.

3 Moses sagde da til Aron: »Det er det, HERREN talede om, da han sagde: Jeg viser min Hellighed paa dem, der staar mig nær, og min Herlighed for alt Folkets Øjne!« Og Aron tav.

Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD meant when He said: ‘To those who come near Me I will show My holiness, and in the sight of all the people I will reveal My glory.’” But Aaron remained silent.

4 Da kaldte Moses Misjael og Elzafan, Arons Farbroder, Uzziels Sønner, til sig og sagde til dem: »Kom og bær eders Frænder bort fra Helligdommen uden for Lejren!«

Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Come here; carry the bodies of your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary.”

5 Og de kom og bar dem uden for Lejren i deres Kjortler, som Moses havde sagt.

So they came forward and carried them, still in their tunics, outside the camp, as Moses had directed.

6 Men Moses sagde til Aron og hans Sønner Eleazar og Itamar: »I maa hverken lade eders Haar vokse frit eller sønderrive eders Klæder, ellers skal I dø og Vrede komme over hele Menigheden; lad eders Brødre, hele Israels Hus, begræde den Brand, HERREN har antændt;

Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Do not let your hair become disheveled and do not tear your garments, or else you will die, and the LORD will be angry with the whole congregation. But your brothers, the whole house of Israel, may mourn on account of the fire that the LORD has ignited.

7 og vig ikke fra Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang, ellers skal I dø, thi HERRENS Salveolie er paa eder!« Og de gjorde som Moses sagde.

You shall not go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, or you will die, for the LORD’s anointing oil is on you.” So they did as Moses instructed.

8 Og HERREN talede til Aron og sagde:

Then the LORD said to Aaron,

9 Vin og stærk Drik maa hverken du eller dine Sønner drikke, naar I gaaet ind i Aabenbaringsteltet, for at I ikke skal dø. Det skal være eder en evig gyldig Anordning fra Slægt til Slægt,

“You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink when you enter the Tent of Meeting, or else you will die; this is a permanent statute for the generations to come.

10 for at I kan gøre Skel mellem det hellige og det, der ikke er helligt, og mellem det urene og det rene,

You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the clean and the unclean,

11 og for at I kan vejlede Israeliterne i alle de Love, HERREN har kundgjort dem ved Moses.

so that you may teach the Israelites all the statutes that the LORD has given them through Moses.”

12 Og Moses sagde til Aron og hans tilbageblevne Sønner Eleazar og Itamar: »Tag Afgrødeofferet, der er levnet fra HERRENS Ildoffer, og spis det usyret ved Siden af Alteret, thi det er højhelligt;

And Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that remains from the offerings made by fire to the LORD and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is most holy.

13 I skal spise det paa et helligt Sted; det er jo din og dine Sønners retmæssige Del af HERRENS Ildofre; thi saaledes er det mig paabudt.

You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your share and your sons’ share of the offerings made by fire to the LORD; for this is what I have been commanded.

14 Og Svingningsbrystet og Offerydelseskøllen skal I spise paa et rent Sted, du, dine Sønner og Døtre, thi de er givet dig tillige med dine Sønner som en retmæssig Del af Israeliternes Takofre;

And you and your sons and daughters may eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution in a ceremonially clean place, because these portions have been assigned to you and your children from the peace offerings of the sons of Israel.

15 Offerydelseskøllen og Svingningsbrystet skal man frembære sammen med de til Ildofre bestemte Fedtdele, for at Svingningen kan udføres for HERRENS Aasyn, og de skal tilfalde dig og dine Sønner tillige med dig som en evig gyldig Rettighed, saaledes som HERREN har paabudt!«

They are to bring the thigh of the contribution and the breast of the wave offering, together with the fat portions of the offerings made by fire, to wave as a wave offering before the LORD. It will belong permanently to you and your children, as the LORD has commanded.”

16 Og Moses spurgte efter Syndofferbukken, men se, den var opbrændt. Da blev han fortørnet paa Eleazar og Itamar, Arons tilbageblevne Sønner, og sagde:

Later, Moses searched carefully for the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had been burned up. He was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked,

17 »Hvorfor har I ikke spist Syndofferet paa det hellige Sted? Det er jo dog højhelligt, og han har givet eder det, for at I skal borttage Menighedens Skyld og saaledes skaffe dem Soning for HERRENS Aasyn.

“Why didn’t you eat the sin offering in the holy place? For it is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt of the congregation by making atonement for them before the LORD.

18 Se, Blodet deraf er ikke blevet bragt ind i Helligdommens Indre, derfor havde det været eders Pligt at spise det paa det hellige Sted, saaledes som jeg har paabudt!«

Since its blood was not brought inside the holy place, you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.”

19 Men Aron svarede Moses: »Se, de har i Dag frembaaret deres Syndoffer og Brændoffer for HERRENS Aasyn, og en saadan Tilskikkelse har ramt mig! Om jeg i Dag havde spist Syndofferkød, vilde HERREN da have billiget det?«

But Aaron replied to Moses, “Behold, this very day they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD. Since these things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been acceptable in the sight of the LORD?”

20 Da Moses hørte dette, billigede han det.

And when Moses heard this explanation, he was satisfied.
