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.

[Two of] Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took the pans in which they burned incense. They put some burning coals in them and put incense on top of the coals, but this fire was not acceptable [to Yahweh] because it was not the kind that he had commanded them to burn.

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

So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up [DOU] in the presence of Yahweh.

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/I said to Aaron, “That is what Yahweh predicted. He said, ‘Those priests who come near to me, I will show them that they must (respect me/treat me as being holy); in the presence of all the people I am the one who must be honored.’” But Aaron said nothing.

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!«

Then Moses/I summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, who were the sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Take [the corpses of] your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the Sacred Tent.”

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

So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].

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/I said to Aaron and his [other two] sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “[You are sad because Nadab and Abihu died, but you must act like you always do]. Do not allow the hair on your [heads] to remain uncombed, and do not tear your clothes. But your relatives and all your fellow Israelis are allowed to mourn for those whom Yahweh destroyed by fire.

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

But you must not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because if you do that, you also will die, and Yahweh will punish [MTY] all the people of Israel. Do not forget that Yahweh has set you apart [MTY] to work for him here, [and he does not want you to become defiled by touching a corpse].” So they did what Moses/I told them to do.

8 Og HERREN talede til Aron og sagde:

Then Yahweh 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 [two] sons [who are still alive] must not drink wine or other fermented drinks before you enter the Sacred Tent; if you do that, you will die. That is a command that you and your descendants must obey forever.

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 do that in order to learn what things are holy and what things are (not holy/common), and [from the things that are not holy] you must learn what things are acceptable to me and what things are not.

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

And you must teach to the Israeli people all the laws that I gave to the Israeli people by telling them to 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;

Moses/I said to Aaron and his two sons who were still alive, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the offering made from grain that is left after a portion of it has been offered to Yahweh to be burned, and eat it alongside the altar. [It should not be eaten elsewhere], because it is very 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.

Eat it in a holy place; it is the share for you and your sons from the offerings that were burned; I have commanded that it be your share.

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;

But you and your sons and daughters are permitted to eat the breast and the thigh that were lifted up in front of Yahweh. Eat them in any place that is (holy/acceptable to him). They have been given to you and your descendants as your share of the offerings to enable the Israelis to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh].

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!«

The thigh and the breast that were lifted up in front of Yahweh must be brought with the portions of fat to be burned, to be lifted up in his presence. They will be the regular share for you and your descendants, as Yahweh 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:

When Moses/I inquired about the goat that had been sacrificed to enable the people to be forgiven by Yahweh for the sins they had committed, he/I found out that it had been completely burned. So he/I was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar and asked them,

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 did you not eat near the Sacred Tent the meat of the offering for sin? It was very holy, and it was given to you to enable the Israeli people to no longer be guilty for their sins and to be forgiven for their sins.

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 taken into the holy place inside the Sacred Tent, you should have eaten the [meat of] the goat near the Sacred Tent, 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?«

Aaron replied to Moses/me, “Today the people brought to Yahweh their offering to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, and the offering to be completely burned, [and surely that pleased Yahweh], but [think about the terrible thing] that happened to my other two sons! Would [RHQ] Yahweh have been pleased if I had eaten some of the offering to cause the people to become acceptable to God?”

20 Da Moses hørte dette, billigede han det.

When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.
