4 Mosebog 19
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og Aron og sagde:
And Yahweh spake 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 Yahweh hath commanded, saying, —Speak unto the sons of Israel—That they bring unto thee a red heifer, without defect wherein is no blemish, and whereupon hath come no yoke.
3 Den skal I overgive til Præsten Eleazar, og man skal føre den uden for Lejren og slagte den for hans Aasyn.
Then shall ye give her unto Eleazar the priest, and he shall take her forth unto the outside of the camp, and she shall be slain before him;
4 Saa skal Præsten Eleazar tage noget af dens Blod paa sin Finger og stænke det syv Gange i Retning af Aabenbaringsteltets Forside.
and Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, —and shall sprinkle towards the front of the tent of meeting: of her blood, seven times;
5 Derpaa skal Kvien brændes i hans Paasyn; dens Hud, Kød og Blod tillige med Skarnet skal opbrændes.
and the heifer shall be burned up before his eyes, —her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung shall be burned up.
6 Derefter skal Præsten tage Cedertræ, Ysop og karmoisinrødt Uld og kaste det paa Baalet, hvor Kvien brænder.
Then shall the priest take cedar-wood and hyssop and crimson, —and cast into the midst of the burning up of the heifer.
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 bathe his flesh in water, and afterwards come into the camp, —but 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 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.
Then shall a man that is clean gather up the ashes of the heifer, and put them by, outside the camp, in a clean place, —so shall they be for the assembly of the sons of Israel to keep for water of separation it is a taking away of sin.
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:
Then shall he that gathered up the ashes wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening, —so shall it be for the sons of Israel and for the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst by a statute age-abiding.
11 Den, der rører ved en død, ved noget som helst Lig, skal være uren i syv Dage.
He that toucheth the dead, even 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.
He, shall cleanse himself from sin therewith on the third day, then on the seventh day, shall he be clean, —but if he cleanse not himself from sin on the third day, then on the seventh day, shall he 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 the person of the human being that dieth and doth not cleanse himself from sin, the habitation of Yahweh, hath he made unclean; that person therefore shall be cut off out of Israel, —because, the water of separation, was not dashed upon him, unclean, shall he be, 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 human being, shall die in a tent, every one who goeth into the tent and every one who is in the tent shall be unclean seven days.
15 og ethvert aabent Kar, et, der ikke er bundet noget over, bliver urent.
And, in the case of every open vessel, on which no cover is fastened, unclean, it is.
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 on the face of the field, one slain with a sword, or one who hath died, or a human bone 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 him that is unclean, of the ashes of the burning of the sin-bearer, —and living water shall be put thereon 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.
Then shall a man that is clean take hyssop, and dip in the water, and sprinkle upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons who were there, —and upon him that touched the bone or him who had been slain, or him who had died of himself 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, —so shall he cleanse himself from sin, on the seventh day, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe in water and be clean in the 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 in the case of the man who shall be unclean and shall not cleanse himself from sin, that person shall be cut off, out of the midst of the convocation, —for, the sanctuary of Yahweh, hath he made unclean, the water of separation, hath not been dashed upon him unclean, he is.
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.
So shall it be unto them for statute age-abiding, —and, he that sprinkleth the water of separation, shall wash his clothes, and he that toucheth the water of separation 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 toucheth, shall be unclean, —and the person who toucheth it shall be unclean until the evening.
