4 Mosebog 9
1 HERREN talede saaledes til Moses i Sinaj Ørken i den første Maaned af det andet Aar efter deres Udvandring fra Ægypten:
And the Lord said to Moses, in the waste land of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt,
2 Israeliterne skal fejre Paasken til den fastsatte Tid,
Let the children of Israel keep the Passover at its regular time.
3 paa den fjortende Dag i denne Maaned ved Aftenstid skal I fejre den til den fastsatte Tid; overensstemmende med alle Anordningerne og Lovbudene om den skal I fejre den!
In the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you are to keep it at the regular time, and in the way ordered in the law.
4 Da sagde Moses til Israeliterne, at de skulde fejre Paasken;
And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel to keep the Passover.
5 og de fejrede Paasken i Sinaj Ørken den fjortende Dag i den første Maaned ved Aftenstid; nøjagtigt som HERREN havde paalagt Moses, saaledes gjorde Israeliterne.
So they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the waste land of Sinai: as the Lord gave orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did.
6 Men der var nogle Mænd, som var blevet urene ved et Lig og derfor ikke kunde fejre Paaske den Dag. Disse Mænd traadte nu den Dag frem for Moses og Aron
And there were certain men who were unclean because of a dead body, so that they were not able to keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
7 og sagde til ham: »Vi er blevet urene ved et Lig; hvorfor skal det da være os forment at frembære HERRENS Offergave til den fastsatte Tid sammen med de andre Israeliter?«
And these men said to him, We have been made unclean by the dead body of a man; why may we not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time among the children of Israel?
8 Moses svarede dem: »Vent, til jeg faar at høre, hvad HERREN paabyder angaaende eder!«
And Moses said to them, Do nothing till the Lord gives me directions about you.
9 Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord said to Moses,
10 Tal til Israeliterne og sig: Naar nogen af eder eller eders Efterkommere er blevet uren ved et Lig eller er ude paa en lang Rejse, skal han alligevel holde Paaske for HERREN;
Say to the children of Israel, If any one of you or of your families is unclean because of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, still he is to keep the Passover to the Lord:
11 den fjortende Dag i den anden Maaned ved Aftenstid skal de holde den; med usyret Brød og bitre Urter skal de spise Paaskelammet.
In the second month, on the fourteenth day, in the evening, they are to keep it, taking it with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants;
12 De maa intet levne deraf til næste Morgen, og de maa ikke sønderbryde noget af dets Ben. De skal fejre Paasken i Overensstemmelse med alle de Anordninger, som gælder for den.
Nothing of it is to be kept till the morning, and no bone of it is to be broken: they are to keep it by the rules of the Passover.
13 Men den, som undlader at fejre Paasken, skønt han er ren og ikke paa Rejse, det Menneske skal udryddes af sin Slægt, fordi han ikke har frembaaret HERRENS Offergave til den fastsatte Tid. Den Mand skal undgælde for sin Synd.
But the man who, not being unclean or on a journey, does not keep the Passover, will be cut off from his people: because he did not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time, his sin will be on him.
14 Og naar en fremmed, der bor hos eder, vil holde Paaske for HERREN, skal han holde den efter de Anordninger og Lovbud, som gælder for Paasken. En og samme Lov skal gælde for eder, for den fremmede og for den indfødte.
And if a man from another country is among you and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let him do as is ordered in the law of the Passover: there is to be the same rule for the man from another nation and for him who had his birth in the land.
15 Den Dag Boligen blev rejst, dækkede Skyen Boligen, Vidnesbyrdets Telt; men om Aftenen var der som et Ildskær over Boligen, og det holdt sig til om Morgenen.
And on the day when the House was put up, the cloud came down on it, on the Tent of witness; and in the evening there was a light like fire over the House till the morning.
16 Saaledes var det til Stadighed: Om Dagen dækkede Skyen den, om Natten Ildskæret.
And so it was at all times: it was covered by the cloud, and by a light as of fire by night.
17 Hver Gang Skyen løftede sig fra Teltet, brød Israeliterne op, og der, hvor Skyen stod stille, slog Israeliterne Lejr.
And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the House, then the children of Israel went journeying on; and in the place where the cloud came to rest, there the children of Israel put up their tents.
18 Paa HERRENS Bud brød Israeliterne op, og paa HERRENS Bud gik de i Lejr, og saa længe Skyen hvilede over Boligen, blev de liggende i Lejr;
At the order of the Lord the children of Israel went forward, and at the order of the Lord they put up their tents: as long as the cloud was resting on the House, they did not go away from that place.
19 naar Skyen blev over Boligen i længere Tid, rettede Israeliterne sig efter, hvad HERREN havde foreskrevet dem, og brød ikke op.
When the cloud was resting on the House for a long time the children of Israel, waiting for the order of the Lord, did not go on.
20 Det hændte, at Skyen kun blev nogle faa Dage over Boligen; da gik de i Lejr paa HERRENS Bud og brød op paa HERRENS Bud.
Sometimes the cloud was resting on the House for two or three days; then, by the order of the Lord, they kept their tents in that place, and when the Lord gave the order they went on.
21 Og det hændte, at Skyen kun blev der fra Aften til Morgen; naar Skyen da løftede sig om Morgenen, brød de op. Eller den blev der en Dag og en Nat; naar Skyen da løftede sig, brød de op.
And sometimes the cloud was there only from evening to morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning they went on their journey again: or if it was resting there by day and by night, whenever the cloud was taken up they went forward.
22 Eller den blev der et Par Dage eller en Maaned eller længere endnu, idet Skyen i længere Tid hvilede over Boligen; saa blev Israeliterne liggende i Lejr og brød ikke op, men naar den løftede sig, brød de op.
Or if the cloud came to rest on the House for two days or a month or a year without moving, the children of Israel went on waiting there and did not go on; but whenever it was taken up they went forward on their journey.
23 Paa HERRENS Bud gik de i Lejr, og paa HERRENS Bud brød de op; de rettede sig efter, hvad HERREN havde foreskrevet dem, efter HERRENS Bud ved Moses.
At the word of the Lord they put up their tents, and at the word of the Lord they went forward on their journey: they kept the orders of the Lord as he gave them by Moses.
