4 Mosebog 10

1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

And the LORD spoke to 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 a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.

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

And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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

And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, who are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall assemble themselves to thee.

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

When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.

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.

When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

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

But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye 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 they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout 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 if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall 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!

Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.

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

And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle 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 children of Israel took their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.

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

And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD 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.

In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

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

And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.

16 og Zebuloniternes Stammes Hær af Eliab, Helons Søn.

And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.

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

And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari moved forward, bearing the tabernacle.

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

And the standard of the camp of Reuben moved forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.

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

And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

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

And the Kohathites moved forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other set up the tabernacle for their coming.

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

And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan moved forward, which was the rear guard of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

27 og Naftaliternes Stammes Hær af Ahira, Enans Søn.

And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.

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

Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they moved 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.«

And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law, We are journeying to the place of which the LORD said, I will give it to you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD 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 to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my kindred.

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

And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of 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 what goodness the LORD shall do to us, the same will we do to 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.

And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days’ journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days’ journey, to seek a resting place for them.

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

And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went 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 moved forward, that Moses said, Arise, LORD, and let thy enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

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

And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, to the many thousands of Israel.
