4 Mosebog 4
1 HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 Optag blandt Leviterne Tallet paa Kehatiterne efter deres Slægter, efter deres Fædrenehuse,
“Write down the names of the men who belong to the clans descended from Levi.
3 fra Trediveaarsalderen og opefter til Halvtredsaarsalderen, alle, der skal gøre Tjeneste med' at udføre Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet.
Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. These will be men who will work at the Sacred Tent.
4 Kehatiternes Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet skal være med de højhellige Ting.
“The work of these descendants of Kohath will be [to take care of] the sacred items [that are used when the people worship] at the Sacred Tent.
5 Naar Lejren bryder op, skal Aron og hans Sønner gaa ind og tage det indre Forhæng ned og tildække Vidnesbyrdets Ark dermed;
When you Israelis move to another location, Aaron and his sons must enter the tent to take down the curtain that separates the Very Holy Place from the other part of the Sacred Tent. They must cover the sacred chest with that curtain.
6 ovenover skal de lægge et Dække af Tahasjskind og derover igen brede et ensfarvet violet Purpurklæde; derpaa skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.
Then they must cover that with a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Over that they must spread a blue cloth. Then they must insert into the rings on the chest the poles [for carrying it].
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;
“Then they must put a blue cloth over the table on which the priests put the sacred bread. On top of the cloth they must put the bowls [for incense], the pans, the other dishes, the jars for [the wine that will be] offered as a sacrifice, and the sacred bread.
8 ovenover skal de brede et karmoisinrødt Klæde og dække dette til med et Dække af Tahasjskind; derpaa skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.
Over all of this they must spread a scarlet/red cloth. Finally, they must put on top a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Then they must insert into the [rings at the corners of] the tables the poles [for carrying it].
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 with another blue cloth they must cover the lampstand, the lamps, the lamp snuffers, the trays, and the special jars of [olive] oil [to burn in the lamps].
10 og de skal lægge den med alt dens Tilbehør i et Dække af Tahasjskind og saa lægge det paa Bærebøren.
They must cover the lampstand and all the other items with a nice covering made from the skins of goats. They must place all these things on a frame for carrying them.
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.
“Then they must spread another blue cloth over the gold altar [which is used for burning] incense. Over this they must spread a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Then they must insert into [the rings of] that altar the poles for carrying it.
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 must take all the other items that are inside the Sacred Tent and wrap them in a blue cloth, cover that with a nice covering made from the skins of goats, and place all that on a frame for carrying it.
13 Fremdeles skal de rense Alteret for Aske og brede et rødt Purpurklæde derover
“Then they must remove the ashes from the altar [on which they have burned sacrifices]. Then they must cover the altar with a purple cloth.
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.
Then they must spread on top of the cloth all the items used at the altar—the pans [for carrying the hot coals], the meat forks, the shovels, the bowls [for containing the blood to sprinkle on the people], and all the other containers. Then they must spread over all those things a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Then they must insert into [the rings at the sides of] the altar the poles [for carrying it].
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.
“Then Aaron and his sons have finished covering all these sacred things, the Israeli people will be ready to move [to a new location]. The descendants of Kohath must come and carry all the sacred things to [the next place] where you Israelis will set up your tents. But the descendants of Kohath must not touch any of these sacred items, because they will [immediately] die [if they touch them]. They are the ones who will carry these things, [but they must not touch them].
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.
“Aaron’s son Eleazar will have the work of taking care of the [olive] oil for the lamps, the nice-smelling incense, the grain which will be burned on the altar each day, and the [olive] oil for anointing [the priests]. Eleazar is the one who will supervise the work that is done at the Sacred Tent and the men who take care of everything that is in it.”
17 HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
“Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
18 Sørg for, at Kehatiternes Slægters Stamme ikke udryddes af Leviternes Midte!
“When the descendants of Kohath approach the sacred items in the Sacred Tent [to take them to another location], Aaron and his sons must always go in with them and show each of them what work to do and what things to carry. But the descendants of Kohath must not enter the Sacred Tent [at any other time] and look at the things that are in it. If they do that, I will get rid of all the descendants of Kohath.”
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,
20 for at de ikke et eneste Øjeblik skal komme til at se de hellige Ting; thi gør de det, skal de dø.
21 HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
22 Optag ogsaa Tallet paa Gersoniterne efter deres Fædrenehuse, efter deres Slægter;
“Write down the names of all the men who belong to the clans descended from the Gershon [division of the descendants of Levi].
23 fra Trediveaarsalderen og opefter til Halvtredsaarsalderen skal du mønstre dem, alle, der skal gøre Tjeneste med at udføre Arbejdet ved Aabenbaringsteltet.
Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. They will be men who will also work at the Sacred Tent.
24 Dette er Gersoniternes Arbejde, hvad de skal gøre, og hvad de skal bære:
“This is the work that they must do and the things that they must carry [when you move to a new location]:
25 De skal bære Boligens Tæpper, Aabenbaringsteltet med dets Dække og Dækket af Tahasjskind ovenover, Forhænget til Aabenbaringsteltets Indgang,
They must carry the curtains of the Sacred Tent; they must carry the Sacred Tent and all the things that cover it, including the nice outer covering made from skins of goats, and the curtain which is at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
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.
They must also carry the curtains that form the wall that surrounds the courtyard that surrounds the Sacred Tent and the altar, the curtain that is at the entrance to the courtyard, and the ropes [that fasten the curtains]. They must also do the packing and loading of these things.
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 and his sons will supervise the work of all the descendants of Gershom. That work includes carrying those things and doing other work that is necessary for moving them. They must tell each of the descendants of Gershom what things they must carry.
28 Det er det Arbejde, Gersoniternes Sønners Slægter skal have ved Aabenbaringsteltet, og de skal varetage det under Itamars, Præsten Arons Søns, Tilsyn.
Those are the tasks that you must give to the men who belong to the clans descended from Gershom. Aaron’s son Ithamar is the one who will supervise their work.
29 Merariterne skal du mønstre efter deres Slægter, efter deres Fædrenehuse;
Count also the men who belong to the clans descended from Levi’s son Merari.
30 fra Trediveaarsalderen og opefter til Halvtredsaarsalderen skal du mønstre dem, alle, som skal gøre Tjeneste med at udføre Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet.
Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. They will be men who will also work at the Sacred Tent.
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,
Their work will be to carry the frames that hold up the tent, the crossbars, the posts [that hold up the curtains], and the bases.
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.
They must also carry the posts for [the curtains that form the walls of] the courtyard and the bases for the posts, the tent pegs, and the ropes [to fasten the curtains]. Tell each man what things he must carry.
33 Det er det Arbejde, der paahviler Merariternes Slægter, alt, hvad der hører til deres Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet, under Itamars, Præsten Arons Søns, Tilsyn.
Those are the tasks that the descendants of Merari must do at the Sacred Tent. Aaron’s son Ithamar is the one who will supervise them.”
34 Saa mønstrede Moses og Aron og Menighedens Øverster Kehatiternes Sønner efter deres Slægter, efter deres Fædrenehuse,
So Aaron and Moses/I and the Israeli leaders counted the descendants of Kohath, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
35 fra Trediveaarsalderen og opefter til Halvtredsaarsalderen, alle, som skulde gøre Tjeneste med at udføre Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet,
They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old who were able to work at the Sacred Tent.
36 og de, der mønstredes af dem efter deres Slægter, udgjorde 2750.

They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old. They were ones who [were able to] work at the Sacred Tent and who carried the tent and everything that was connected with it.
