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:

The Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying:

2 Israeliterne skal fejre Paasken til den fastsatte Tid,

Let the children of Israel make the phase in its due 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!

The fourteenth day of this month in the evening, according to all the ceremonies and justifications thereof.

4 Da sagde Moses til Israeliterne, at de skulde fejre Paasken;

And Moses commanded the children of Israel that they should make the phase.

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.

And they made it in its proper time: the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in mount Sinai. The children of Israel did according to all things that the Lord had commanded Moses.

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

But behold some who were unclean by occasion of the soul of a man, who could not make the phase on that day, coming to Moses and Aaron,

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?«

Said to them: We are unclean by occasion of the soul of a man. Why are we kept back that we may not offer in its season the offering to the Lord among the children of Israel?

8 Moses svarede dem: »Vent, til jeg faar at høre, hvad HERREN paabyder angaaende eder!«

And Moses answered them: Stay that I may consult the Lord what he will ordain concerning you.

9 Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

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: The man that shall be unclean by occasion of one that is dead, or shall be in a journey afar off in your nation, let him make the phase 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 of the month in the evening, they shall eat it with unleavened bread and wild lettuce:

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.

They shall not leave any thing thereof until morning, a nor break a bone thereof, they shall observe all the ceremonies of the phase.

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 if any man is clean, and was not on a journey, and did not make the phase, that soul shall be cut off from among his people, because he offered not sacrifice to the Lord in due season: he shall bear his sin.

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.

The sojourner also and the stranger if they be among you, shall make the phase to the Lord according to the ceremonies and justifications thereof. The same ordinance shall be with you both for the stranger, and for him that was born 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.

Now on the day that the tabernacle was reared up, a cloud covered it. But from the evening there was over the tabernacle, as it were, the appearance of fire until the morning.

16 Saaledes var det til Stadighed: Om Dagen dækkede Skyen den, om Natten Ildskæret.

So it was always: by day the cloud covered it, and by night as it were the appearance of fire.

17 Hver Gang Skyen løftede sig fra Teltet, brød Israeliterne op, og der, hvor Skyen stod stille, slog Israeliterne Lejr.

And when the cloud that covered the tabernacle was taken up, then the children of Israel marched forward: and in the place where the cloud stood still, there they camped.

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 commandment of the Lord they marched, and at his commandment they pitched the tabernacle. All the days that the cloud abode over the tabernacle, they remained in the same place:

19 naar Skyen blev over Boligen i længere Tid, rettede Israeliterne sig efter, hvad HERREN havde foreskrevet dem, og brød ikke op.

And if it was so that it continued over it a long time, the children of Israel kept the watches of the Lord, and marched not,

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.

For as many days soever as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle. At the commandment of the Lord they pitched their tents, and at his commandment they took them down.

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.

If the cloud tarried from evening until morning, and immediately at break of day left the tabernacle, they marched forward: and if it departed after a day and a night, they took down their tents.

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.

But if it remained over the tabernacle for two days or a month or a longer time, the children of Israel remained in the same place, and marched not: but immediately as soon as it departed, they removed the camp.

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.

By the word of the Lord they pitched their tents, and by his word they marched: and kept the watches of the Lord according to his commandment by the hand of Moses.
