4 Mosebog 3
1 Følgende var Arons og Moses's Efterkommere, paa den Tid HERREN talede paa Sinaj Bjerg.
And these [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day of YHWH’s speaking 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: the firstborn Nadab, 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 anointed priests, whose hand he has consecrated for acting as priest.
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 dies—Abihu also—before YHWH, in their bringing strange fire near before YHWH, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they did not have sons; and Eleazar—Ithamar also—acts as priest in the presence of their father Aaron.
5 HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
And YHWH speaks 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 you have caused it to stand before Aaron the priest, and they have served him,
7 De skal tage Vare paa, hvad han og hele Menigheden har at varetage foran Aabenbaringsteltet, og saaledes udføre Arbejdet ved Boligen,
and kept his charge, and the charge of all the congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the Dwelling Place;
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 have kept all the vessels of the Tent of Meeting, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the Dwelling Place;
9 Altsaa skal du overgive Aron og hans Sønner Leviterne; de er ham overgivet som Gave fra Israeliterne.
and you have given the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are surely given to him out 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 you appoint Aaron and his sons, and they have kept their priesthood, and the stranger who comes near is put to death.”
11 HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
And YHWH speaks 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, have taken the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel instead of every firstborn opening a womb among the sons of Israel, and the Levites have been 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 every firstborn [is] Mine, in the day of My striking every firstborn in the land of Egypt I have sanctified to Myself every firstborn in Israel, from man to beast; they are Mine; I [am] YHWH.”
14 HERREN talede til Moses i Sinaj Ørken og sagde:
And YHWH speaks to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
15 Du skal mønstre Levis Sønner efter deres Fædrenehuse, efter deres Slægter; alle af Mandkøn fra en Maaned og opefter skal du mønstre.
