4 Mosebog 10

1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

2 Du skal lave dig to Sølvtrompeter; i drevet Arbejde skal du lave dem. Dem skal du bruge, naar Menigheden skal kaldes sammen, og naar Lejrene skal bryde op.

Make thee two trumpets of silver, of beaten work, shalt thou make them, —and they shall be unto thee for calling the assembly, and for setting forward the camps.

3 Naar der blæses i dem begge to, skal hele Menigheden samle sig hos dig ved Indgangen til Aabenbaringsteltet.

As soon as they blow therewith, so soon shall all the assembly assemble themselves unto thee, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting.

4 Blæses der kun i den ene, skal Øversterne, Overhovederne for Israels Stammer, samle sig hos dig.

And, if, only once, they blow, then shall the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, gather themselves unto thee.

5 Naar I blæser Alarm med dem, skal Lejrene paa Østsiden bryde op;

But when ye blow an alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped eastwards;

6 blæser Alarm anden Gang, skal Lejrene paa Sydsiden bryde op: tredje Gang skal Lejrene mod Vest bryde op, fjerde Gang Lejrene mod Nord; der skal blæses Alarm, naar de skal bryde op.

and when ye blow a second alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped southwards, —an alarm, shall they blow for setting them forward,

7 Men naar Forsamlingen skal sammenkaldes skal I blæse paa almindelig Vis, ikke Alarm.

But in calling together the convocation, ye shall blow but shall not sound an alarm.

8 Arons Sønner, Præsterne, skal blæse i Trompeterne; det skal være eder en evig gyldig Anordning fra Slægt til Slægt.

And, the sons of Aaron the priests, shall blow with the trumpets, —and it shall be unto you for a statute age-abiding, unto your generations.

9 Naar I drager i Krig i eders Land mod en Fjende, der angriber eder, og blæser Alarm med Trompeterne, skal I ihukommes for HERREN eders Guds Aasyn og frelses fra eders Fjender.

And when ye go into war in your land against the assailant that assaileth you, then shall ye blow an alarm with the trumpets, —and bring yourselves to mind before Yahweh your God, and be saved, from your enemies,

10 Og paa eders Glædesdage, eders Højtider og Nymaanedage, skal I blæse i Trompeterne ved eders Brændofre og Takofre; saa skal de tjene eder til Ihukommelse for eders Guds Aasyn. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!

And in your day of rejoicing and in your appointed seasons and in the beginnings of your months, then shall ye blow with the trumpets, over your ascending-sacrifices, and over your peace-offerings, —so shall they be unto you for a memorial before your God. I—Yahweh, am your God.

11 Den tyvende Dag i den anden Maaned af det andet Aar løftede Skyen sig fra Vidnesbyrdets Bolig.

And so it came to pass in the second year, in the second month on the twentieth of the month, that the cloud lifted itself up, from off the habitation of the testimony;

12 Da brød Israeliterne op fra Sinaj Ørken, i den Orden de skulde bryde op i, og Skyen stod stille i Parans Ørken.

and the sons of Israel set forward by their removals from the desert of Sinai, and then the cloud abode in the desert of Paran.

13 Da de nu første Gang brød op efter Guds Bud ved Moses,

Thus then did they set forward for the first time, —at the bidding of Yahweh, by the hand of Moses.

14 var Judæernes Lejr den første, der brød op under sit Felttegn, Hærafdeling for Hærafdeling; deres Hær førtes af Nahasjon, Amminadabs Søn.

So the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah set forward first, by their hosts, and over his own host, was Nahshon, son of Amminadab;

15 Issakariternes Stammes Hær førtes af Netan'el, Zuars Søn,

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, Nethanel, son of Zuar;

16 og Zebuloniternes Stammes Hær af Eliab, Helons Søn.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, Eliab, son of Helon.

17 Da derpaa Boligen var taget ned, brød Gersoniterne og Merariterne op og bar Boligen.

Then was taken down the habitation, —and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward bearing the habitation.

18 Saa brød Rubens Lejr op under sit Felttegn, Hærafdeling for Hærafdeling; deres Hær førtes af Elizur, Sjede'urs Søn.

Then set forward the standard of the camp of Reuben, by their hosts, —and over his own host, Elizur, son of Shedeur;

19 Simeoniternes Stammes Hær førtes af Sjelumiel, Zurisjaddajs Søn,

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shelumiel, son of Zurishaddai;

20 og Gaditernes Stammes Hær af Eljasaf, De'uels Søn.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Gad, Eliasaph, son of Deuel.

21 Saa brød Kehatiterne, der bar de hellige Ting, op; og før deres Komme havde man rejst Boligen.

Then set forward the Kohathites, bearing the sanctuary, —and so the habitation was reared by the time they came in.

22 Saa brød Efraimiternes Lejr op under sit Felttegn, Hærafdeling for Hærafdeling; deres Hær førtes af Elisjama, Ammihuds Søn.

Then set forward the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim by their hosts, —and over his own host, was Elishama son of Ammihud;

23 Manassiternes Stammes Hær førtes af Gamliel, Pedazurs Søn,

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur;

24 og Benjaminiternes Stammes Hær af Abidan, Gid'onis Søn.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, Abidan, son of Gideoni.

25 Saa brød Daniternes Lejr op under sit Felttegn som Bagtrop i hele Lejrtoget, Hærafdeling for Hærafdeling; deres Hær førtes af Ahiezer, Ammisjaddajs Søn.

Then set forward the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan, bringing up the rear of all the camps, by their hosts, —and over his own host, Ahiezur, son of Ammishaddai;

26 Aseriternes Stammes Hær førtes af Pag'iel, Okrans Søn,

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Asher, Pagiel, son of Ochran;

27 og Naftaliternes Stammes Hær af Ahira, Enans Søn.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, Ahira, son of Enan.

28 Saaledes foregik Israeliternes Opbrud, Hærafdeling for Hærafdeling. Saa brød de da op.

These, were the settings-forward of the sons of Israel by their hosts, —thus did they set forward.

29 Men Moses sagde til Midjaniten Hobab, Re'uels Søn, Moses's Svigerfader: »Vi bryder nu op for at drage til det Sted, HERREN har lovet at give os; drag med os! Vi skal lønne dig godt, thi HERREN har stillet Israel gode Ting i Udsigt.«

Then said Moses to Hobab, son of Raguel the Midianite, father-in-law of Moses: Setting forward, are we unto the place of which Yahweh hath said, The same, will I give unto you, —Oh come with us and we will do thee good, for, Yahweh, hath spoken good, concerning Israel.

30 Men han svarede ham: »Jeg vil ikke drage med; nej, jeg drager til mit Land og min Slægt.«

And he said unto him, I will not go, —but unto my own land, and unto my own kindred, will I go.

31 Da sagde han: »Forlad os ikke! Du kender jo de Steder, hvor vi kan slaa Lejr i Ørkenen; vær Øje for os!

Then said he: I beseech thee, do not forsake us, —for, on this account, hast thou come to know of our encamping in the desert, so shalt thou be unto us as eyes;

32 Drager du med os, skal vi give dig Del i alt det gode, HERREN vil give os.«

and it shall be if thou wilt go with us, —yea it shall be that with the very good wherewith Yahweh shall do us good, will we do good unto thee.

33 Derpaa brød de op fra HERRENS Bjerg og vandrede tre Dagsrejser frem, idet HERRENS Pagts Ark drog i Forvejen for at søge dem et Sted, hvor de kunde holde Hvil.

So then they went forward, from the mountain of Yahweh, a journey of three days, —and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, was going before them a journey of three days, to search out for them a resting-place,

34 Og HERRENS Sky svævede over dem om Dagen, naar de brød op fra Lejren.

And the cloud of Yahweh, was over them by day, —when they set forward out of the camp.

35 Og hver Gang Arken brød op, sagde Moses: »Staa op, HERRE, at dine Fjender maa splittes og dine Avindsmænd fly for dit Aasyn!«

And it came to pass when the ark set forward, that Moses said: Arise, O Yahweh! and scattered be thy foes, Let them that hate thee flee before thee;

36 Og hver Gang den standsede, sagde han: »Vend tilbage, HERRE, til Israels Stammers Titusinder!«

But when it rested, he said, —Return, O Yahweh! unto the myriads of the thousands of Israel.
