4 Mosebog 4
1 HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], saying,
2 Optag blandt Leviterne Tallet paa Kehatiterne efter deres Slægter, efter deres Fædrenehuse,
“Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi [United with], by their families, by their fathers’ houses,
3 fra Trediveaarsalderen og opefter til Halvtredsaarsalderen, alle, der skal gøre Tjeneste med' at udføre Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet.
from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all who enter into the service, to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.
4 Kehatiternes Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet skal være med de højhellige Ting.
“This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting, the most holy things.
5 Naar Lejren bryder op, skal Aron og hans Sønner gaa ind og tage det indre Forhæng ned og tildække Vidnesbyrdets Ark dermed;
When the camp moves forward, Aaron [Light-bringer] shall go in, and his sons, and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover the ark of the Testimony with it,
6 ovenover skal de lægge et Dække af Tahasjskind og derover igen brede et ensfarvet violet Purpurklæde; derpaa skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.
and shall put a covering of sealskin on it, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall put in its poles.
7 Og over Skuebrødsbordet skal de brede et violet Purpurklæde og stille Fadene, Kanderne, Skaalene og Krukkerne til Drikofferet derpaa, og Brødet, som stadig skal ligge fremme, skal ligge derpaa;
“On the table of show bread they shall spread a blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the spoons, the bowls, and the cups with which to pour out; and the continual bread shall be on it.
8 ovenover skal de brede et karmoisinrødt Klæde og dække dette til med et Dække af Tahasjskind; derpaa skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.
They shall spread on them a scarlet cloth, and cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles.
9 Saa skal de tage et violet Purpurklæde og dermed tildække Lysestagen, dens Lamper, Sakse, Bakker og alle Oliekrukkerne, de Ting, som bruges ved Betjeningen deraf,
“They shall take a blue cloth, and cover the menorah ·lamp· of the light, and its menorah ·lamp· candles, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes, and all its oil utensils, with which they minister to it.
10 og de skal lægge den med alt dens Tilbehør i et Dække af Tahasjskind og saa lægge det paa Bærebøren.
They shall put it and all its utensils within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it on the frame.
11 Over Guldalteret skal de ligeledes brede et violet Purpurklæde og dække dette til med et Dække af Tahasjskind; derpaa skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.
“On the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles.
12 Og de skal tage alle Redskaber, som bruges ved Tjenesten i Helligdommen, og lægge dem i et violet Purpurklæde og dække dem til med et Dække af Tahasjskind og lægge dem paa Bærebøren.
“They shall take all the utensils of ministry, with which they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a blue cloth, and cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on the frame.
13 Fremdeles skal de rense Alteret for Aske og brede et rødt Purpurklæde derover
“They shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth on it.
14 og paa det lægge alle Redskaberne, som bruges til Tjenesten derved, Panderne, Gaflerne, Skovlene og Skaalene, alle Alterets Redskaber, og derover skal de brede et Dække af Tahasjskind; derpaa skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.
They shall put on it all its utensils, with which they minister about it, the fire pans, the meat hooks, the shovels, and the basins; all the utensils of the altar; and they shall spread on it a covering of sealskin, and put in its poles.
15 Naar saa ved Lejrens Opbrud Aron og hans Sønner er færdige med at tilhylle de hellige Ting og alle de hellige Redskaber, skal Kehatiterne træde til og bære dem; men de maa ikke røre ved de hellige Ting; thi gør de det, skal de dø. Det er, hvad Kehatiterne skal bære af Aabenbaringsteltet.
“When Aaron [Light-bringer] and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary, and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp moves forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to carry it: but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting.
16 Men Eleazar, Præsten Arons Søn, paahviler Tilsynet med Olien til Lysestagen, den vellugtende Røgelse, det daglige Afgrødeoffer og Salveolien og desuden Tilsynet med hele Boligen og alt, hvad der er deri af hellige Ting og deres Tilbehør.
“The duty of Eleazar [Help of God] the son of Aaron [Light-bringer] the priest shall be the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the continual meal offering, and the anointing oil, the requirements of all the tabernacle, and of all that is in it, the sanctuary, and its furnishings.”
17 HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], saying,
18 Sørg for, at Kehatiternes Slægters Stamme ikke udryddes af Leviternes Midte!
“Don’t cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites [Descendants of United with];
19 Saaledes skal I forholde eder med dem, for at de kan blive i Live og undgaa Døden, naar de nærmer sig de højhellige Ting: Aron og hans Sønner skal træde til og anvise hver enkelt af dem, hvad han skal gøre, og hvad han skal bære,
but thus do to them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach to the most holy things: Aaron [Light-bringer] and his sons shall go in, and appoint them everyone to his service and to his burden;
20 for at de ikke et eneste Øjeblik skal komme til at se de hellige Ting; thi gør de det, skal de dø.
but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.”
21 HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
22 Optag ogsaa Tallet paa Gersoniterne efter deres Fædrenehuse, efter deres Slægter;
“Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers’ houses, by their families;
23 fra Trediveaarsalderen og opefter til Halvtredsaarsalderen skal du mønstre dem, alle, der skal gøre Tjeneste med at udføre Arbejdet ved Aabenbaringsteltet.
you shall count them from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old; all who enter in to wait on the service, to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.
24 Dette er Gersoniternes Arbejde, hvad de skal gøre, og hvad de skal bære:
“This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens:
25 De skal bære Boligens Tæpper, Aabenbaringsteltet med dets Dække og Dækket af Tahasjskind ovenover, Forhænget til Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang,
they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the Tent of Meeting, its covering, and the covering of sealskin that is above on it, and the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,
26 Forgaardens Omhæng og Forhænget for Indgangen til Forgaarden, der er rundt om Boligen og Alteret, dens Teltreb og alle Redskaber, som hører til Arbejdet derved; og alt, hvad der skal gøres derved, skal de udføre.
and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and around the altar, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and whatever shall be done with them. They shall serve in there.
27 Efter Arons og hans Sønners Bud skal Gersoniterne udføre deres Arbejde baade med det, de skal bære, og med det, de skal gøre; og I skal anvise dem alt, hvad de skal bære, Stykke for Stykke.
Aaron [Light-bringer] and his sons shall supervise all the work of the sons of the Gershonites, transporting loads and serving, and you shall assign them who is to do what job and its responsibilities.
28 Det er det Arbejde, Gersoniternes Sønners Slægter skal have ved Aabenbaringsteltet, og de skal varetage det under Itamars, Præsten Arons Søns, Tilsyn.
This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the Tent of Meeting: and their duty shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron [Light-bringer] the priest.
29 Merariterne skal du mønstre efter deres Slægter, efter deres Fædrenehuse;
“As for the sons of Merari, you shall count them by their families, by their fathers’ houses;
30 fra Trediveaarsalderen og opefter til Halvtredsaarsalderen skal du mønstre dem, alle, som skal gøre Tjeneste med at udføre Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet.
you shall count them from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who enters on the service, to do the work of the Tent of Meeting.
31 Dette er, hvad der paahviler dem at bære, alt, hvad der hører til deres Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet: Boligens Brædder, dens Tværstænger, Piller og Fodstykker,
This is the duty of their burden, according to all their service in the Tent of Meeting: the tabernacle’s boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,
32 Pillerne til Forgaarden, som er rundt om den, med Fodstykker, Pæle og Reb, alle tilhørende Redskaber og alt, hvad der hører til Arbejdet derved; Stykke for Stykke skal I anvise dem alle de Ting, det paahviler dem at bære.
and the pillars of the court around it, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name you shall appoint the instruments of the duty of their burden.
33 Det er det Arbejde, der paahviler Merariternes Slægter, alt, hvad der hører til deres Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet, under Itamars, Præsten Arons Søns, Tilsyn.
This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the Tent of Meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron [Light-bringer] the priest.”
