3 Mosebog 1

1 HERREN kaldte paa Moses og talede til ham fra Aabenbaringsteltet og sagde:

Yahweh called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying,

2 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Naar nogen af eder vil bringe HERREN en Offergave af Kvæget, da skal Offergaven, I vil bringe, tages at Hornkvæget eller Smaakvæget.

“Speak to the people of Israel and tell them, 'When any man from among you brings an offering to Yahweh, bring as your offering one of your animals, either from the herd or from the flock.

3 Skal hans Offergave af Hornkvæget være et Brændoffer, saa skal det være et lydefrit Handyr, han bringer; til Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang skal han bringe det for at vinde HERRENS Velbehag.

If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he must offer a male without blemish. He is to offer it at the entrance of the tent of meeting, so that it may be accepted before Yahweh.

4 Saa skal han lægge sin Haand paa Brændofferdyrets Hoved, for at det kan vinde ham HERRENS Velbehag, idet det skaffer ham Soning.

He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and then it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for himself.

5 Derpaa skal han slagte den unge Okse for HERRENS Aasyn, og Arons Sønner, Præsterne, skal frembære Blodet, og de skal sprænge Blodet rundt om paa Alteret, som staar ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet.

Then he must kill the bull before Yahweh. Aaron's sons, the priests, will present the blood and sprinkle it on the altar that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

6 Saa skal han flaa Huden af Brændofferdyret og skære det i Stykker,

Then he must skin the burnt offering and cut it to pieces.

7 og Arons Sønner, Præsterne, skal gøre Ild paa Alteret og lægge Brænde paa Ilden;

Then the sons of Aaron the priest will put fire on the altar and place wood to feed the fire.

8 og Arons Sønner, Præsterne, skal lægge Stykkerne tillige med Hovedet og Fedtet til Rette paa Brændet over Ilden paa Alteret.

Aaron's sons, the priests, are to place the pieces, the head and the fat, in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar.

9 Men Indvoldene og Skinnebenene skal han tvætte med Vand, og Præsten skal bringe det hele som Røgoffer paa Alteret; det er et Brændoffer, et Ildoffer til en liflig Duft for HERREN.

But its inner parts and its legs he must wash with water. Then the priest will burn everything on the altar as a burnt offering. It will produce a sweet aroma for me; it will be an offering made to me by fire.

10 Hvis hans Offergave, der skal bruges som Brændoffer, tages at Smaakvæget, af Faarene eller Gederne, saa skal det være et lydefrit Handyr, han bringer.

If his offering for the burnt offering is from the flock, one of the sheep or one of the goats, he must offer a male without blemish.

11 Han skal slagte det for HERRENS Aasyn ved Alterets Nordside, og Arons Sønner, Præsterne skal sprænge Blodet deraf rundt om paa Alteret.

He must kill it on the north side of the altar before Yahweh. Aaron's sons, the priests, will sprinkle its blood on every side of the altar.

12 Saa skal han skære det i Stykker, og Præsten skal lægge Stykkerne tillige med Hovedet og Fedtet til Rette paa Brændet over Ilden paa Alteret.

Then he must cut it into pieces, with its head and its fat, and the priest will lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire, which is on the altar,

13 Men Indvoldene og Skinnebenene skal han tvætte med Vand. Saa skal Præsten frembære det hele og bringe det som Røgoffer paa Alteret; det er et Brændoffer, et Ildoffer til en liflig Duft for HERREN.

but the inner parts and the legs he must wash with water. Then the priest will offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, and it will produce a sweet aroma for Yahweh; it will be an offering made to him by fire.

14 Er hans Offergave til HERREN et Brændoffer af Fuglene, da skal Offergaven, han vil bringe, tages af Turtelduerne eller Dueungerne;

If his offering to Yahweh is to be a burnt offering of birds, then he must bring as his offering either a dove or a young pigeon.

15 Præsten skal frembære den til Alteret og knække Halsen paa den og bringe Hovedet som Røgoffer paa Alteret, og dens Blod skal udpresses mod Alterets Side.

The priest must bring it to the altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the altar. Then its blood must be drained out on the side of the altar.

16 Saa skal han udtage Kroen med dens Indhold og kaste den paa Askedyngen ved Alterets Østside.

He must remove its crop with its contents, and throw it beside the altar on the east side, in the place for the ashes.

17 Derpaa skal han rive Vingerne løs paa den uden dog at skille dem fra Kroppen. Saa skal Præsten bringe den som Røgoffer paa Alteret paa Brændet over Ilden; det er et Brændoffer, et Ildoffer til en liflig Duft for HERREN.

He must tear it open by its wings, but he must not divide it into two parts. Then the priest will burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It will be a burnt offering, and it will produce a sweet aroma for Yahweh; it will be an offering made to him by fire.
