4 Mosebog 19
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og Aron og sagde:
And the LORD spoke to Moses and to 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 ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, in which is no blemish, and upon which never came a yoke:
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 to Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth outside the camp, and 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 Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
5 Derpaa skal Kvien brændes i hans Paasyn; dens Hud, Kød og Blod tillige med Skarnet skal opbrændes.
And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; 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 scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning 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.
Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall 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 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 the ashes of the heifer, and lay them outside the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for 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:
And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: and it shall be to the children of Israel, and to 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 man 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 purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he shall not purify himself the third day, then 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.
Whoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation 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: all that come 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, which hath no covering bound upon it, 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 whoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, 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 for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be added to them 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 were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a 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 on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and 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 the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation 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 a perpetual statute to them, that 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 whatever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until the evening.
