4 Mosebog 3

1 Følgende var Arons og Moses's Efterkommere, paa den Tid HERREN talede paa Sinaj Bjerg.

Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with Moses in mount Sinai:

2 Navnene paa Arons Sønner var følgende: Nadab, den førstefødte, Abihu, Eleazar og Itamar;

And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

3 det var Navnene paa Arons Sønner, de salvede Præster, som indsattes til Præstetjeneste.

These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.

4 Men Nadab og Abihu døde for HERRENS Aasyn, da de frembar fremmed Ild for HERRENS Aasyn i Sinaj Ørken, og de havde ingen Sønner. Saaledes kom Eleazar og Itamar til at gøre Præstetjeneste for deres Fader Arons Aasyn.

And Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah when they offered strange fire before Jehovah in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no sons. And Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the presence of Aaron their father.

5 HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

6 Lad Levis Stamme træde frem og stil dem frem for Præsten Aron, for at de kan gaa ham til Haande.

Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.

7 De skal tage Vare paa, hvad han og hele Menigheden har at varetage foran Aabenbaringsteltet, og saaledes udføre Arbejdet ved Boligen,

And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.

8 og de skal tage Vare paa alle Aabenbaringsteltets Redskaber og paa, hvad Israeliterne har at varetage, og saaledes udføre Arbejdet ved Boligen.

And they shall keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

9 Altsaa skal du overgive Aron og hans Sønner Leviterne; de er ham overgivet som Gave fra Israeliterne.

And thou shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the sons of Israel.

10 Men Aron og hans Sønner skal du sætte til at tage Vare paa deres Præstetjeneste; enhver Lægmand, som trænger sig ind deri, skal lide Døden.

And thou shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.

11 HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

12 Se, jeg har selv udtaget Leviterne af Israeliternes Midte i Stedet for alt det førstefødte, der aabner Moders Liv hos Israeliterne, og Leviterne er blevet min Ejendom;

And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel instead of all the firstborn who opens the womb among the sons of Israel. And the Levites shall be mine,

13 thi mig tilhører alt det førstefødte. Dengang jeg dræbte alt det førstefødte i Ægypten, helligede jeg mig alt det førstefødte i Israel, baade af Mennesker og Dyr; mig HERREN skal de tilhøre.

for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They shall be mine. I am Jehovah.

14 HERREN talede til Moses i Sinaj Ørken og sagde:
