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 wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 Israeliterne skal fejre Paasken til den fastsatte Tid,
“Let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season.
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!
On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season. You shall keep it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances.”
4 Da sagde Moses til Israeliterne, at de skulde fejre Paasken;
Moses told the children of Israel that they should 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.
They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that the LORD commanded 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
There were certain men who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and 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?«
Those men said to him, “We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season amongst the children of Israel?”
8 Moses svarede dem: »Vent, til jeg faar at høre, hvad HERREN paabyder angaaende eder!«
Moses answered them, “Wait, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you.”
9 Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:
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, ‘If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still 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 at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
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 leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it.
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 is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn’t offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season, that man 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.
“‘If a foreigner lives amongst you and desires to keep the Passover to the LORD, then he shall do so according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner and for him who is 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.
On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony. At evening it was over the tabernacle, as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.
16 Saaledes var det til Stadighed: Om Dagen dækkede Skyen den, om Natten Ildskæret.
So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.
17 Hver Gang Skyen løftede sig fra Teltet, brød Israeliterne op, og der, hvor Skyen stod stille, slog Israeliterne Lejr.
Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel travelled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.
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, the children of Israel travelled, and at the commandment of the LORD they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.
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 stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the LORD’s command, and didn’t travel.
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 a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of the LORD they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of the LORD they travelled.
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.
Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they travelled; or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they travelled.
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.
Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and didn’t travel; but when it was taken up, they travelled.
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 commandment of the LORD they encamped, and at the commandment of the LORD they travelled. They kept the LORD’s command, at the commandment of the LORD by Moses.
