4 Mosebog 4

1 HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron saying:

2 Optag blandt Leviterne Tallet paa Kehatiterne efter deres Slægter, efter deres Fædrenehuse,

Reckon up the sum of the sons of Kohath, out of the midst of the sons of Levi, —by their families by their ancestral house:

3 fra Trediveaarsalderen og opefter til Halvtredsaarsalderen, alle, der skal gøre Tjeneste med' at udføre Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet.

from thirty years old, and upwards, even unto fifty years, —every one that can enter into the host, to do service in the tent of meeting.

4 Kehatiternes Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet skal være med de højhellige Ting.

This, shall be the labour 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;

So then Aaron and his sons shall enter when the camp is to set forward, and take down the screening veil, —and enwrap therein the ark of the testimony;

6 ovenover skal de lægge et Dække af Tahasjskind og derover igen brede et ensfarvet violet Purpurklæde; derpaa skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.

and put thereon a covering of badgers’ skin, and spread a complete wrapper of blue over above, —and put in the staves thereof.

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;

And over the Presence-table, shall they spread a wrapper of blue and put thereon the dishes and the pans and the bowls and the libation cups, the perpetual bread also, thereupon, shall remain;

8 ovenover skal de brede et karmoisinrødt Klæde og dække dette til med et Dække af Tahasjskind; derpaa skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.

and they shall spread over them a wrapper of crimson, and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skin, —and shall put in the staves thereof.

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,

Then shall they take a wrapper of blue, and cover the light-giving lampstand, and the lamps thereof, and the snuffers thereof and the snuff-trays thereof, —and all the oil-vessels, thereof, wherewith they minister thereunto;

10 og de skal lægge den med alt dens Tilbehør i et Dække af Tahasjskind og saa lægge det paa Bærebøren.

and shall put the same and all the vessels thereof, within a covering of, badgers’ skin, —and shall put it upon a 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.

And upon the altar of gold, shall they spread a wrapper of blue, and shall cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and shall put in the staves thereof,

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.

And they shall take all the utensils of attendance wherewith they attend in the sanctuary, and put them within a wrapper of blue, and cover the same in a covering of badgers’ skin, —and put them on a frame.

13 Fremdeles skal de rense Alteret for Aske og brede et rødt Purpurklæde derover

Then shall they remove the fat-ashes from the altar, —and spread over it a wrapper of purple;

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.

and put thereupon all the utensils thereof wherewith they minister thereupon—the fire-pans, the flesh-hooks—and the shovels and the tossing-bowls, all the utensils of the altar, —and shall spread over it a covering of badgers’ skin and put in the staves thereof.

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.

So shall Aaron and his sons make an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the utensils of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set forward, then after that, shall the sons of Kohath enter to bear it, but they must not put forth a touch unto that which, is holy, else should they die, these, shall be 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.

But the care of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, [shall be] —the light-giving oil, and the fragrant incense, and the perpetual meal-offering, and the anointing oil, the care of all the habitation, and all that is therein, both as to the sanctuary, and as to the furniture thereof.

17 HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:

18 Sørg for, at Kehatiternes Slægters Stamme ikke udryddes af Leviternes Midte!

Do not let the tribe of the families of the Kohathites be cut off out of the midst of the Levites.

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,

This, therefore, do ye for them, so shall they live and not die when they approach the most holy place, —Aaron and his sons shall enter and set them man by man over his labour, and unto 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 enter to see, for a moment, that which is holy, else should they die.

21 HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

22 Optag ogsaa Tallet paa Gersoniterne efter deres Fædrenehuse, efter deres Slægter;

reckon up the sum of the sons of Gershon even of them also, —by their ancestral house 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.

from thirty years old and upwards even to fifty years, shalt thou number them, —All that may enter to take rank in the host, to do laborious work in the tent of meeting.

24 Dette er Gersoniternes Arbejde, hvad de skal gøre, og hvad de skal bære:

This, shall be the labour of the families of the Gershonites, —in labouring and in bearing:

25 De skal bære Boligens Tæpper, Aabenbaringsteltet med dets Dække og Dækket af Tahasjskind ovenover, Forhænget til Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang,

they shall bear the curtains of the habitation and the tent of meeting, the covering thereof and the covering of badgers’ skin which is over above it, —and the screen, at the entrance 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 entrance of the gate of the court which is near the habitation and near the altar round about, and their cords, and all their articles of service, and all that is to be done to them when they shall do their labour,

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.

At the bidding of Aaron and his sons, shall be all the labour of the sons of the Gershonites, to the extent of their every burden, and to the extent of all their labour, —so shall ye appoint unto them in charge their every burden.

This, shall be the labour of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting, —and, the charge of them, shall be in the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

As for the sons of Merari, —by their families by their ancestral house, shall ye number them;

from thirty years old and upwards even to fifty years, shall ye number them, —all that enter into the host, to do laborious work in 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,

And, this, shall be their charge of the burdens, to the extent of all their labour in the tent of meeting, the boards of the habitation, and the bars thereof and he pillars thereof and the sockets thereof:

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 round about and their sockets and their pins and their cords, to the extent of all their articles, to the extent of all their labour, and by names, shall ye put under their care the articles of their charge of burdens.
