4 Mosebog 19
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og Aron og sagde:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2 Dette er det Lovbud, HERREN har kundgjort: Sig til Israeliterne, at de skal skaffe dig en rød, lydefri Kvie, der er uden Fejl og ikke har baaret Aag.
This is the statute of the law which the Lord hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee a completely red cow, on which there is no blemish, upon which no yoke hath ever come.
3 Den skal I overgive til Præsten Eleazar, og man skal føre den uden for Lejren og slagte den for hans Aasyn.
And ye shall give her unto Elazar the priest, and he shall lead her forth to without the camp, and some one shall slay her before his face:
4 Saa skal Præsten Eleazar tage noget af dens Blod paa sin Finger og stænke det syv Gange i Retning af Aabenbaringsteltets Forside.
And Elazar the priest shall take some of her blood with his finger; and he shall sprinkle in the direction of the front of the tabernacle of the congregation of her blood seven times.
5 Derpaa skal Kvien brændes i hans Paasyn; dens Hud, Kød og Blod tillige med Skarnet skal opbrændes.
And some one shall burn the cow before his eyes; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn.
6 Derefter skal Præsten tage Cedertræ, Ysop og karmoisinrødt Uld og kaste det paa Baalet, hvor Kvien brænder.
And the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and a scarlet string, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the cow.
7 Saa skal Præsten tvætte sine Klæder og bade sit Legeme i Vand og derefter vende tilbage til Lejren. Men Præsten skal være uren til Aften.
And the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward may he come into the camp; and the priest shall be unclean until the evening.
8 Ligeledes skal den Mand, der brænder Kvien, tvætte sine Klæder med Vand og bade sit Legeme i Vand og være uren til Aften.
And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water; and he shall be unclean until the evening.
9 Og en Mand, der er ren, skal opsamle Kviens Aske og lægge den hen paa et rent Sted uden for Lejren, hvor den skal opbevares for Israeliternes Menighed for at bruges til Renselsesvand. Det er et Syndoffer.
And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the cow, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of sprinkling: it is a purification-offering.
10 Og den, der opsamler Kviens Aske, skal tvætte sine Klæder og være uren til Aften. For Israeliterne og den fremmede, der bor iblandt dem, skal dette være en evig gyldig Anordning:
And he that gathereth up the ashes of the cow shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
11 Den, der rører ved en død, ved noget som helst Lig, skal være uren i syv Dage.
He that toucheth the dead body of any human person shall be unclean seven days.
12 Han skal lade sig rense for Synd med Asken paa den tredje og syvende Dag, saa bliver han ren; men renser han sig ikke paa den tredje og syvende Dag, bliver han ikke ren.
Such a one shall purify himself with it on the third day and on the seventh day, when he shall be clean; but if he purify himself not on the third day and on the seventh day, he shall not be clean.
13 Enhver, der rører ved en død, et Lig, og ikke lader sig rense for Synd, besmitter HERRENS Bolig, og det Menneske skal udryddes af Israel, fordi der ikke er stænket Renselsesvand paa ham; han er uren, hans Urenhed klæber endnu ved ham.
Whosoever toucheth the dead body, the person of any man that is dead, and purifieth himself not, hath defiled the tabernacle of the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; because the water of sprinkling was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
14 Saaledes er Loven: Naar et Menneske dør i et Telt, bliver enhver, der træder ind i Teltet, og enhver, der er i Teltet, uren i syv Dage;
This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: Every one that cometh into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
15 og ethvert aabent Kar, et, der ikke er bundet noget over, bliver urent.
And every open vessel, on which there is not a closely fitting cover, is unclean.
16 Ligeledes bliver enhver, der paa aaben Mark rører ved en, der er dræbt med Sværd, eller ved en, der er død, eller ved Menneskeknogler eller en Grav, uren i syv Dage.
And whosoever toucheth in the open field one that hath been slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
17 For saadanne urene skal man da tage noget af Asken af det brændte Syndoffer og hælde rindende Vand derover i en Skaal.
And they shall take for the unclean person some of the ashes of the burnt purification-offering, and they shall put thereupon running water in a vessel.
18 Derpaa skal en Mand, der er ren, tage en Ysopstængel, dyppe den i Vandet og stænke det paa Teltet og paa alle de Ting og Mennesker, der har været deri, og paa den, der har rørt ved Menneskeknoglerne, den ihjelslagne, den døde eller Graven.
And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that have been there, and upon him that hath touched the bone, or the one slain, or the dead, or the grave:
19 Saaledes skal den rene bestænke den urene paa den tredje og syvende Dag og borttage hans Synd paa den syvende Dag. Derefter skal han tvætte sine Klæder og bade sig i Vand, saa er han ren, naar det bliver Aften.
And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and when he hath purified him on the seventh day, then shall he wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.
20 Men den, som bliver uren og ikke lader sig rense for Synd, han skal udryddes af Forsamlingen; thi han har besmittet HERRENS Helligdom, der er ikke stænket Renselsesvand paa ham, han er uren.
But a man that is unclean, and doth not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation; because the sanctuary of the Lord hath he defiled; the water of sprinkling hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
21 Det skal være eder en evig gyldig Anordning. Den, der stænker Renselsesvandet, skal tvætte sine Klæder, og den, der rører ved Renselsesvandet, skal være uren til Aften.
And it shall be unto them for a perpetual statute; and he that sprinkleth the water of sprinkling shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of sprinkling shall be unclean until the evening.
22 Alt, hvad den urene rører ved skal være urent, og enhver, der rører ved ham, skal være uren til Aften.
And whatsoever the unclean person may touch shall be unclean; and the person that toucheth him shall be unclean until the evening.
