4 Mosebog 19
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og Aron og sagde:
And Jehovah speaketh 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] a statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee a red cow, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke hath gone up;
3 Den skal I overgive til Præsten Eleazar, og man skal føre den uden for Lejren og slagte den for hans Aasyn.
and ye have given it unto Eleazar the priest, and he hath brought it out unto the outside of the camp, and hath slaughtered it 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 hath taken of its blood with his finger, and hath sprinkled over-against 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 [one] hath burnt the cow before his eyes; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, besides her dung, he doth burn;
6 Derefter skal Præsten tage Cedertræ, Ysop og karmoisinrødt Uld og kaste det paa Baalet, hvor Kvien brænder.
and the priest hath taken cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and hath cast unto 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 hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards doth come in unto the camp, and the priest is unclean till 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 who is burning it doth wash his garments with water, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and is unclean till 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 clean man hath gathered the ashes of the cow, and hath placed at the outside of the camp, in a clean place, and it hath become to the company of the sons of Israel a charge for waters of separation — it [is] a [cleansing];
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 who is gathering the ashes of the heifer hath washed his garments, and is unclean till the evening; and it hath been to the sons of Israel, and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, for a statute age-during.
11 Den, der rører ved en død, ved noget som helst Lig, skal være uren i syv Dage.
'He who is coming against the dead body of any man — is 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 doth cleanse himself for it on the third day, and on the seventh day he is clean; and if he cleanse not himself on the third day, then on the seventh day he is not 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.
Any one who is coming against the dead, against the body of man who dieth, and cleanseth not himself — the tabernacle of Jehovah he hath defiled, and that person hath been cut off from Israel, for water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he is unclean; his uncleanness [is] still 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 who is coming in unto the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, is 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 of thread 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 every one who cometh, on the face of the field, against the pierced of a sword, or against the dead, or against a bone of man, or against a grave, is 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 have taken for the unclean person of the ashes of the burning of the [cleansing], and he hath put upon it running water unto 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 hath taken hyssop, and hath dipped [it] in water, and hath sprinkled on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who have been there, and on him who is coming against a bone, or against one pierced, or against the dead, or against 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 hath sprinkled [it] on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day, and hath cleansed him on the seventh day, and he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been 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.
'And the man who is unclean, and doth not cleanse himself, even that person hath been cut off from the midst of the assembly; for the sanctuary of Jehovah he hath defiled; water of separation is not 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 hath been to them for a statute age-during, that he who is sprinkling the water of separation doth wash his garments, and he who is coming against the water of separation is unclean till the evening,
22 Alt, hvad den urene rører ved skal være urent, og enhver, der rører ved ham, skal være uren til Aften.
and all against which the unclean person cometh is unclean, and the person who is coming against [it] is unclean till the evening.'
