3 Mosebog 23
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Hvad angaar HERRENS Festtider, hvilke I skal udraabe som Højtidsstævner, da er mine Festtider følgende:
“Tell the Israeli people about the festivals that I have chosen, the days when you all must gather together [to worship me].”
3 I seks Dage skal der arbejdes, men den syvende Dag skal være en fuldkommen Hviledag med Højtidsstævne; I maa intet Arbejde gøre, det er Sabbat for HERREN, overalt hvor I bor.
“You may work for six days [each week], but on the seventh day you must not do any work. You must rest. It is a sacred/holy day when you must gather together [to worship me]. Wherever you live, you must rest on that day.”
4 Følgende er HERRENS Festtider med Højtidsstævner, som I skal udraabe, hver til sin Tid:
“There are festivals that I have established for you. Those will also be sacred/holy days when you must gather together [to worship me].
5 Paa den fjortende Dag i den første Maaned ved Aftenstid er det Paaske for HERREN.
[The first festival is] (the Passover/when you remember that I spared your ancestors when I killed all the firstborn Egyptian sons). That festival will begin at twilight/dusk/sunset on the chosen day (each spring/in March or April each year), [and end on the following day].
6 Paa den femtende Dag i samme Maaned er det de usyrede Brøds Højtid for HERREN; i syv Dage skal I spise usyret Brød.
The next day, the Festival of Eating Bread That Has No Yeast will begin. That festival will continue for seven days. During that time, the bread that you eat must be made without yeast.
7 Paa den første Dag skal I holde Højtidsstævne, I maa intet Arbejde gøre.
On the first day of that festival, you all must stop your regular work and you must gather together [to worship me].
8 I skal bringe HERREN Ildoffer i syv Dage. Paa den syvende Dag skal der holdes Højtidsstævne, I maa intet Arbejde gøre.
On each of the seven days, you must present to me [several animals to be] an offering/sacrifice to be completely burned [on the altar]. On the seventh day, you all must again stop your regular work and gather to worship me.”
9 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh also told Moses/me
10 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Naar I kommer til det Land, jeg vil give eder, og høster dets Høst, skal I bringe Præsten Førstegrødeneget af eders Høst.
to tell the Israeli people [about other festivals]. He said, “When you arrive in the land which I am giving to you, and you harvest your crops [for the first time] there, bring to the priest some of the first grain that you harvest.
11 Han skal udføre Svingningen med Neget for HERRENS Aasyn for at vinde eder Guds Velbehag; Dagen efter Sabbaten skal Præsten udføre Svingningen dermed.
On the day after the [next] Sabbath/rest day, the priest will lift it up [high to dedicate it] to me, in order that I will accept it as your [gift].
12 Og paa den Dag I udfører Svingningen med Neget, skal I ofre et lydefrit, aargammelt Lam som Brændoffer til HERREN,
That same day, you must sacrifice to me a one-year-old male lamb that has no defects. You must burn it [on the altar].
13 og der skal høre to Tiendedele Efa fint Hvedemel, rørt i Olie, dertil som Afgrødeoffer, et Ildoffer for HERREN til en liflig Duft, og ligeledes en Fjerdedel Hin Vin som Drikoffer.
You must also burn an offering of grain. That offering must consist of (three quarts/3.5 liters) of good flour mixed with [olive] oil. The smell [of those things burning] will be very pleasing to me. Along with that, you must also offer one quart/liter of wine, which will be a liquid offering.
14 Brød, ristede Aks eller nyhøstet Horn maa I ikke spise før denne Dag, før I har frembaaret eders Guds Offergave. Det skal være eder en evig gyldig Anordning fra Slægt til Slægt, overalt hvor I bor.
Do not eat any bread or any roasted grain or unroasted grain on that day until after you have brought those offerings to me, your God. You must always obey [LIT] those commands, wherever you live.”
15 Saa skal I fra Dagen efter Sabbaten, fra den Dag I bringer Svingningsneget, tælle syv Uger frem — det skal være hele Uger —
“Seven weeks after the priest offers that grain to me,
16 til Dagen efter den syvende Sabbat, I skal tælle halvtredsindstyve Dage frem; da skal I frembære et nyt Afgrødeoffer for HERREN.
on the next/50th day after he offers it, [each family] must bring to me an offering from the new crop of grain.
17 Fra eders Boliger skal I bringe Svingningsbrød, to Brød, som skal laves af to Tiendedele Efa fint Hvedemel og bages syrede, en Førstegrødegave til HERREN.
From your homes, bring two loaves of bread [to the priest]. He will lift them up [high to dedicate them] as an offering to me. Those loaves must be baked from three quarts/liters of good flour that has yeast mixed with it. That bread will be an offering to me from the first wheat that you harvest [each year].
18 Og foruden Brødet skal I bringe syv lydefri, aargamle Lam, en ung Tyr og to Vædre, de skal være til Brændoffer for HERREN med tilhørende Afgrødeoffer og Drikoffer, et Ildoffer for HERREN til en liflig Duft.
Along with this bread, you must present to me seven one-year-old lambs with no defects, one young bull, and two rams. They must all be completely burned [on the altar]. All those offerings, with the grain offering and the wine offering, will be burned, and the smell [of all those things burning] will be very pleasing to me.
19 Og I skal ofre en Gedebuk som Syndoffer og to aargamle Lam som Takoffer.
Then you must also kill one male goat to be an offering/sacrifice for your sins, and two one-year-old male lambs to be an offering to enable you to maintain fellowship with me.
20 Og Præsten skal udføre Svingningen med dem, med de to Lam, for HERRENS Aasyn sammen med Førstegrødebrødet, de skal være HERREN helligede og tilfalde Præsten.
The priest will lift up these offerings [high to dedicate them] to me. He will also offer the loaves of bread that were baked from the first wheat that you harvest. Those offerings are sacred to me, but they are for the priests [to eat].
21 Paa denne Dag skal I udraabe og holde et Højtidsstævne; I maa intet Arbejde gøre. Det skal være eder en evig gyldig Anordning, overalt hvor I bor, fra Slægt til Slægt.
On that day, you must stop your regular work and gather to worship me. You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
22 Naar I høster eders Lands Høst, maa du ikke høste helt hen til Kanten af din Mark, ej heller maa du sanke Efterslætten efter din Høst; til den fattige og den fremmede skal du lade det blive tilbage. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
“When you harvest the grain in your fields, do not harvest the grain along the edges of the fields, and do not pick up the grain that the harvesters drop. Leave that grain for the poor people and for the foreigners who are living among you. [Do not forget that it is] I, Yahweh your God, [who am commanding those things]!”
23 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh also told Moses/me
24 Tal til Israeliterne og sig: Den første Dag i den syvende Maaned skal I holde Hviledag med Hornblæsning til Ihukommelse og med Højtidsstævne;
to give these instructions/commands to the Israeli people: “[Each year] in September, on the day that I have chosen, you all must celebrate it by completely resting. You must not do any work on that day. When [the priests] blow their trumpets loudly, you all must gather together to worship me.
25 I maa intet Arbejde gøre, og I skal bringe HERREN Ildofre.
All of you must not do your regular work on that day. Instead, you must present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].”
26 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
27 Paa den tiende Dag i samme syvende Maaned falder Forsoningsdagen; da skal I holde Højtidsstævne, faste og bringe HERREN Ildofre;
“You must celebrate a day [on which you request that I] forgive you for the sins that you have committed. That day will be nine days after the festival [when the priests blow] the trumpets. On that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food). You must gather together to worship me and present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].
28 I maa intet Arbejde gøre paa denne Dag, thi det er Forsoningsdagen, den skal skaffe eder Soning for HERREN eders Guds Aasyn.
You must not do any work on that day, because it is the day when the priests will offer sacrifices to me to (atone for/ask me to forgive) your sins.
29 Thi enhver, som ikke faster paa denne Dag, skal udryddes af sin Slægt;
You must expel from your group anyone who does not (fast/abstain from eating food) on that day.
30 og enhver, der gør noget som helst Arbejde paa denne Dag, det Menneske vil jeg udslette af hans Folk.
I will get rid of anyone who does any kind of work on that day.
31 I maa intet Arbejde gøre. Det skal være eder en evig Anordning fra Slægt til Slægt, overalt hvor I bor.
You must not work at all! You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
32 Den skal være eder en fuldkommen Hviledag, og I skal faste; paa den niende Dag i Maaneden om Aftenen, fra denne Aften til næste Aften skal I holde eders Hviledag.
That day will be a day of complete rest for all of you, and on that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food) [to show that you are sorry for having sinned]. That day of rest and (fasting/abstaining from eating food) will begin on the evening before the day in which you ask me to forgive you for your sins, and it will end on the evening of the following day.”
33 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
34 Tal til Israeliterne og sig: Den femtende Dag i samme syvende Maaned skal Løvhyttefesten fejres, den skal fejres i syv Dage for HERREN.
“Tell the Israeli people that [each year] they must also celebrate a festival of living in temporary shelters. That festival will begin five days after the day in which they request me to forgive them for their sins. It will last for seven days.
35 Paa den første Dag skal der holdes Højtidsstævne, I maa intet Arbejde gøre.
On the first day of that festival, the people must gather together to worship me, and they must not do any regular work on that day.
36 Syv Dage skal I bringe HERREN Ildofre; og paa den ottende Dag skal I holde Højtidsstævne og bringe HERREN Ildofre; det er festlig Samling, I maa intet Arbejde gøre.
On each of the seven days of the festival, they must present to me an offering [of animals] that will be burned [on the altar]. On the next day, they must gather again to worship me and present to me another animal that will be burned [on the altar]. That also will be a sacred gathering, and they must not work on that day, either.
37 Det er HERRENS Festtider, hvilke I skal udraabe som Højtidsstævner, ved hvilke der skal bringes HERREN Ildofre, Brændofre og Afgrødeofre, Slagtofre og Drikofre, hver Dag de for den bestemte Ofre,
“[To summarize], those are the festivals that I have appointed. Celebrate those sacred festivals by gathering together to present to me all the various offerings that will be burned [on the altar]—animals that will be burned completely, and offerings of grain, and offerings to enable the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with me, and offerings of wine. Each offering must be brought on the day that I have indicated.
38 foruden HERRENS Sabbater og foruden eders Gaver og alle eders Løfteofre og alle eders Frivilligofre, som I giver HERREN.
(Those festivals must be celebrated/You must celebrate those festivals) in addition to [worshiping on] the (Sabbath days/days of rest). And all those offerings must be given in addition to the offerings that people personally decide to give, and in addition to the offerings that people make to accompany the solemn promises that they have made, or offerings that people make (voluntarily/because they themselves want to).
39 Men den femtende Dag i den syvende Maaned, naar I har indsamlet Landets Afgrøde, skal I fejre HERRENS Højtid, og den skal fejres i syv Dage. Paa den første Dag skal der holdes Hviledag, og paa den ottende Dag skal der holdes Hviledag.
“[Returning to my instructions about] the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, you must celebrate this festival after you have harvested all the crops. On the first day and on the last day of that festival, you must rest completely.
40 Den første Dag skal I tage eder smukke Træfrugter, Palmegrene og Kviste af Løvtræer og Vidjer fra Bækkene og i syv Dage være glade for HERREN eders Guds Aasyn.
But on the first day, you are permitted to pick fruit from trees. Cut palm fronds/branches and other leafy branches from trees or from bushes that grow by the streams, [and make shelters/huts to live in for that week]. Then rejoice in my presence for those seven days.
41 I skal fejre den som en Højtid for HERREN syv Dage om Aaret; det skal være eder en evig gyldig Anordning fra Slægt til Slægt; i den syvende Maaned skal I fejre den.
You must celebrate this festival for seven days every year. You must never stop obeying my commands/instructions for that festival. You must celebrate it in September.
42 I skal bo i Løvhytter i syv Dage, alle indfødte i Israel skal bo i Løvhytter,
During the seven days of that festival, all of you people who have been Israelis your entire lives must live in shelters/huts.
43 for at eders Efterkommere kan vide, at jeg lod Israeliterne bo i Løvhytter, da jeg førte dem ud af Ægypten. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!
That will remind your descendants that their ancestors lived in shelters [for many years] after I rescued them from Egypt. [Do not forget that] I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who is commanding this].”
44 Og Moses kundgjorde Israeliterne HERRENS Festtider.
So Moses/I gave to the Israeli people all those instructions concerning the festivals that Yahweh [wanted them to celebrate] each year.
