4 Mosebog 15

1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

Then Yahweh told Moses/me,

2 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Naar I kommer til det Land, jeg vil give eder at bo i,

“Tell this to the Israeli people: When you arrive in the land that I am giving to you,

3 og I vil ofre HERREN et Ildoffer, Brændoffer eller Slagtoffer, af Hornkvæg eller Smaakvæg for at indfri et Løfte eller af fri Drift eller i Anledning af eders Højtider for at berede HERREN en liflig Duft,

you must offer to me special sacrifices which will be pleasing to me [when the priest burns them on the altar]. Some of them may be offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar]. Some of them may be to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Some of them may be offerings that you yourselves have decided to make. Some of them may be offerings at one of the festivals that you celebrate each year. These offerings may be taken from your herds [of cattle] or from your flocks [of sheep and goats].

4 saa skal den, der bringer HERREN sin Offergave, som Afgrødeoffer bringe en Tiendedel Efa fint Hvedemel, rørt i en Fjerdedel Hin Olie;

When you give these offerings, you must also bring to me a grain offering of two quarts/liters of nice flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil.

5 desuden skal du som Drikoffer til hvert Lam ofre en Fjerdedel Hin Vin, hvad enten det er Brændoffer eller Slagtoffer.

When you offer a lamb to be a sacrifice to be completely burned, you must also pour on the altar one quart/liter of wine.

6 Men til en Væder skal du som Afgrødeoffer ofre to Tiendedele Efa fint Hvedemel, rørt i en Tredjedel Hin Olie;

‘When you offer a ram to be a sacrifice, you must also bring an offering of four quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of [olive] oil.

7 desuden skal du som Drikoffer frembære en Tredjedel Hin Vin til en liflig Duft for HERREN.

And also pour on the altar (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of wine. While they are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.

8 Og naar du ofrer en ung Tyr som Brændoffer eller Slagtoffer for at indfri et Løfte eller som Takoffer til HERREN,

‘Sometimes you will offer a young bull to be completely burned on the altar. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to maintain fellowship with me.

9 skal du foruden Tyren frembære som Afgrødeoffer tre Tiendedele Efa fint Hvedemel, rørt i en halv Hin Olie;

When you offer these sacrifices, you must also offer a grain offering of six quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with two quarts/liters of [olive] oil.

10 desuden skal du som Drikoffer frembære en halv Hin Vin, et Ildoffer til en liflig Duft for HERREN.

Also pour on the altar two quarts/liters of wine to be an offering. While those special gifts are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.

11 Saaledes skal der gøres for hver enkelt Tyr, hver enkelt Væder eller hvert Lam eller Ged;

Each time someone offers a bull or a ram or a male lamb or a young goat to be a sacrifice, it must be done that way.

12 saaledes skal I gøre for hvert enkelt Dyr, saa mange I nu ofrer.

You must obey these instructions for each animal that you bring to me for an offering.

13 Enhver indfødt skal gøre disse Ting paa denne Maade, naar han vil bringe et Ildoffer til en liflig Duft for HERREN.

‘All of you people who have been Israelis all of your lives must obey these regulations when you offer sacrifices that will be pleasing to me when they are burned on the altar.

14 Og naar en fremmed bor hos eder, eller nogen i de kommende Tider bor iblandt eder, og han vil bringe et Ildoffer til en liflig Duft for HERREN, skal han gøre paa samme Maade som I selv.

If any foreigners visit you or live among you, if they also want to bring a sacrifice that will be pleasing to me when it is burned on the altar, they must obey these same instructions.

15 Inden for Forsamlingen skal en og samme Anordning gælde for eder og den fremmede, der bor hos eder; det skal være eder en evig gyldig Anordning fra Slægt til Slægt: hvad der gælder for eder, skal ogsaa gælde for den fremmede for HERRENS Aasyn;

I consider that those who have always been Israelis and those who are foreigners are equal, and so they must all obey the same instructions. All of your descendants must also continue to obey these instructions.

16 samme Lov og Ret gælder for eder og den fremmede, der bor hos eder.

You Israelis and the foreigners who live among you must all obey the same instructions.”

17 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

18 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem: Naar I kommer til det Land, jeg fører eder til,

“Tell these instructions to the Israeli people: [Yahweh says this]: ‘When you arrive in the land to which I am taking you,

19 og spiser af Landets Brød, skal I yde HERREN en Offerydelse.

and you eat the crops that are growing there, you must set some of them aside to be a sacred offering to me.

20 Som Førstegrøde af eders Grovmel skal I yde en Kage som Offerydelse; paa samme Maade som Offerydelsen af Tærskepladsen skal I yde den.

[Each year] set aside some of the first grain that you gather after you have threshed it. Bake a loaf of bread from the first flour that you grind and bring it to me to be a sacred offering.

21 Af Førstegrøden af eders Grovmel skal I give HERREN en Offerydelse, Slægt efter Slægt.

Every year, you and your descendants must continue to make and bring to me [a loaf of bread baked] [MTY] [with flour] from the first part of the grain that you harvest.’”

22 Dersom I synder af Vanvare og undlader at udføre noget af alle de Bud, HERREN har kundgjort Moses,

“‘There may be times when you Israelis do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell you, but not because you intended to disobey them.

23 noget af alt det, HERREN har paalagt eder gennem Moses, fra den Dag HERREN udstedte sit Bud og frem i Tiden fra Slægt til Slægt,

There may be times when some of your descendants do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell to you.

24 saa skal hele Menigheden, hvis det sker af Vanvare uden Menighedens Vidende, ofre en ung Tyr som Brændoffer til en liflig Duft for HERREN med det efter Lovbudene dertil hørende Afgrødeoffer og Drikoffer og desuden en Gedebuk som Syndoffer.

If you or they sin [by forgetting to obey these instructions] and none of the Israeli people realize that they were doing that, one young bull as an offering for all the people [must be brought to the priest]. That will be pleasing to me [when it is burned on the altar]. They must also bring to me a grain offering and an offering of wine, and a male goat, to be sacrificed to enable me to forgive them for the sins they have committed.

25 Og Præsten skal skaffe hele Israeliternes Menighed Soning, og dermed opnaar de Tilgivelse; thi det skete af Vanvare, og de bar bragt deres Offergave som et Ildoffer til HERREN og desuden deres Syndoffer for HERRENS Aasyn, for hvad de gjorde af Vanvare.

[By offering these sacrifices], the priest will make atonement for all of you Israeli people. Then, as a result of their bringing to me an offering to be burned [on the altar], (you will be forgiven/I will forgive you), because you sinned without realizing that you were sinning.

26 Saaledes faar baade hele Israeliternes Menighed og den fremmede, der bor hos dem, Tilgivelse; thi alt Folket har Del i den Synd, der bliver begaaet af Vanvare.

You Israeli people and the foreigners who are living among you will all be forgiven.

27 Men hvis et enkelt Menneske synder af Vanvare, skal han bringe en aargammel Ged som Syndoffer.

If one person commits a sin without realizing that he was sinning, that person must bring to me a female goat to be an offering to enable me to forgive that person for the sins that person has committed.

28 Og Præsten skal skaffe den, der synder af Vanvare, Soning for HERRENS Aasyn ved at udføre Soningen for ham, og saaledes opnaar han Tilgivelse.

The priest will offer it to be a sacrifice to remove the guilt of that person, and that person will be forgiven.

29 For den indfødte hos Israeliterne og den fremmede, der bor iblandt dem, for eder alle gælder en og samme Lov; naar nogen synder af Vanvare.

You Israelis and all the foreigners who live among you must obey these same instructions.

30 Men den, der handler med Forsæt, hvad enten han er indfødt eller fremmed, han haaner Gud, og det Menneske skal udryddes af sit Folk.

But those who disobey my commands (deliberately/because they want to), both Israelis and the foreigners who live among you, have sinned against me [by doing that]. So (they must be expelled/you must expel them) from your camp.

31 Thi han har ringeagtet HERRENS Ord og brudt hans Bud; det Menneske skal udryddes, hans Misgerning kommer over ham.

They have despised my commands and deliberately disobeyed them, so they must be punished for their sin by not being allowed to live among you any more.’”

32 Medens Israeliterne opholdt sig i Ørkenen, traf de en Mand, som sankede Brænde paa en Sabbat.

One day, while the Israelis were in the desert, some of them saw a man who was gathering firewood on the Sabbath/rest day.

33 De, der traf ham i Færd med at sanke Brænde, bragte ham til Moses, Aron og hele Menigheden,

Those who saw him doing that brought him to Aaron and Moses/me and the rest of the Israeli people.

34 og de satte ham i Varetægt, da der ikke forelaa nogen bestemt Kendelse for, hvad der skulde gøres ved ham.

They guarded him carefully, because they did not know what to do [to punish] him.

35 Da sagde HERREN til Moses: Den Mand skal lide Døden; hele Menigheden skal stene ham uden for Lejren!

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The man must be executed. All of you must [kill him by throwing] stones at him outside the camp.”

36 Hele Menigheden førte ham da uden for Lejren og stenede ham til Døde, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.

So they all took the man outside the camp and killed him by throwing stones at him, as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me that they should do.

37 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

38 Tal til Israeliterne og sig til dem, at de Slægt efter Slægt skal sætte Kvaster paa Fligene af deres Klæder, og at de paa hver enkelt Kvast skal sætte en violet Purpursnor.

“Tell this to the Israeli people: You and all your descendants must [twist threads together to] make tassels, and then attach them with blue cords to the bottom edges of your clothes.

39 Det skal tjene eder til Tegn, saa at I, hver Gang I ser dem, skal komme alle HERRENS Bud i Hu og handle efter dem og ikke lade eder vildlede af eders Hjerter eller Øjne, af hvilke I lader eder forlede til Bolen —

When you look at the tassels, you will remember all the instructions that I gave to you, and you will obey them, instead of doing what you desire and as a result causing yourselves to become unacceptable to me.

40 for at I kan komme alle mine Bud i Hu og handle efter dem og blive hellige for eders Gud.

Seeing those tassels will help you to remember that you must obey all my commands and that you must be (my holy people/dedicated to me).

41 Jeg er HERREN eders Gud, som førte eder ud af Ægypten for at være eders Gud. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!

Do not forget that I am Yahweh, your God. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you might belong to me. I am Yahweh, your God.”
