3 Mosebog 14

1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

2 Dette er Loven om, hvorledes man skal forholde sig med Renselsen af en spedalsk: Han skal fremstilles for Præsten,

“These are the regulations for anyone who has been healed of a contagious skin disease.

3 og Præsten skal gå uden for Lejren og syne ham, og viser det sig da, at Spedalskheden er helbredt hos den spedalske,

The person must be brought to a priest. The priest will take him outside the camp [to where that person has been staying], and examine him. If the skin disease has been healed,

4 skal Præsten give Ordre til at tage to levende, rene Fugle, Cedertræ, karmoisinrødt Garn og en Ysopkvist til den, der skal renses.

the priest will say that someone must bring two living birds that are acceptable to Yahweh, along with some cedar wood, some scarlet/red yarn, and some sprigs of (hyssop/a very leafy plant).

5 Og Præsten skal give Ordre til at slagte den ene Fugl over et Lerkar med rindende Vand.

Then the priest will command that one of the birds be killed while [it is being held] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.

6 Så skal han tage den levende Fugl, Cedertræet, det kamoisinrøde Garn og Ysopkvisten og dyppe dem tillige med den levende Fugl i Blodet af den Fugl, der er slagtet over det rindende Vand,

Then the priest will dip the other bird, along with the cedar wood, the scarlet/red yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed.

7 og syv Gange foretage Bestænkning på den, der skal renses for Spedalskhed, og således rense ham; derpå skal han lade den levende Fugl flyve ud over Marken.

Then he must sprinkle some of the blood on the person who was healed; he must sprinkle it on him seven times. Then he will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again. And the priest will release the other bird and allow it to fly away.

8 Men den, der skal renses, skal tvætte sine Klæder, afrage alt sit Hår og bade sig i Vand; så er han ren. Derefter må han gå ind i Lejren, men han skal syv Dage opholde sig uden for sit Telt.

“Then the person who was healed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe. Then he is allowed to return to the camp, but he must stay outside his tent for seven days.

9 På den syvende Dag skal han afrage alt sit Hår, sit Hovedhår, sit Skæg, sine Øjenbryn, alt sit Hår skal han afrage, og han skal tvætte sine Klæder og bade sit Legeme i Vand; så er han ren.

On the seventh day, he must again shave off all his hair, including his beard and his eyebrows. Then he must again wash his clothes and bathe, and then he will be allowed to be with other people again.

10 Men den ottende dag skal han tage to lydefri Væderlam og et lydefrit, årgammelt Hunlam, desuden tre Tiendedele Efa fint Hvedemel, rørt i Olie, til Afgrødeoffer og en Log Olie.

“The next day that person must bring two male lambs and one female lamb that is one year old, all of them with no defects. He must also bring six quarts/liters of fine flour, mixed with olive oil, to be an offering, and (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) of olive oil.

11 Så skal den Præst, der foretager Renselsen, stille den, der skal renses, tillige med disse Offergaver frem for HERRENs Åsyn ved Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang.

The priest who declares that the person’s skin disease is ended must bring that person, and his offerings, to me, Yahweh, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.

12 Og Præsten skal tage det ene Væderlam og frembære det som Skyldoffer tillige med den Log Olie, som hører dertil, og udføre Svingningen dermed for HERRENs Åsyn.

“Then the priest must take one of the male lambs and lift it up, along with the olive oil, in front of me, to be a guilt offering—[an offering for his being guilty for not giving to me the things that he was required to give me].

13 Og han skal slagte Lammet der, hvor Syndofferet og Brændofferet slagtes, på det hellige Sted, thi ligesom Syndofferet tilfalder Skyldofferet Præsten; det er højhelligt.

Then the priest must slaughter the lamb in the sacred place where the other sacrifices are offered. Like the offering to enable people to be forgiven, this guilt offering is holy, and belongs to the priest.

14 Derpå skal Præsten tage noget af Skyldofferets Blod, og Præsten skal stryge det på højre Øreflip af den, der skal renses, og på hans højre Tomme1finger og højre Tommeltå;

The priest must take some of the blood of that animal and pour it on the lobe/tip of the right ear and on the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the one who has been healed of the skin disease.

15 og Præsten skal tage noget af den Log Olie, som hører dertil, og hælde det i sin venstre Hånd,

Then the priest must take some of the olive oil and pour it in the palm of his own left hand.

16 og Præsten skal dyppe sin højre Pegefinger i den Olie, han har i sin venstre Hånd, og med sin Finger stænke Olien syv Gange foran HERRENs Åsyn.

Then he must dip the forefinger of his right hand into the oil in his palm, and sprinkle it in front of me seven times.

17 Og af den Olie, han har tilbage i sin Hånd, skal Præsten stryge noget på højre Øreflip af den, der skal renses, og på hans højre Tommelfinger og højre Tommeltå oven på Skyldofferets Blod.

Then he must put some of the oil that is still in the palm of his hand on the lobe/tip of the right ear and the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the person who has been healed of the skin disease. He must put it on top of the blood that he has already put on those places.

18 Og Præsten skal hælde det, der er tilbage af Olien i hans Hånd, på Hovedet af den, der skal renses, og således skal Præsten skaffe ham Soning for HERRENs Åsyn.

The remaining oil in his palm must be put on the person’s head, [to indicate that I declare that] the person has been forgiven for having sinned.

19 Derpå skal Præsten ofre Syndofferet og skaffe den, der skal renses, Soning for hans Urenhed.

“Then the priest must slaughter one of the other two animals, to show that the one who has been healed of the skin disease has been forgiven for having sinned, and that he has become acceptable to Yahweh. Then the priest will slaughter the animal that will be completely burned [on the altar].

20 Og Præsten skal ofre Brændofferet og Afgrødeofferet på Alteret og således skaffe ham Soning; så er han ren.

He will also put on the altar the offering of grain, to indicate that the person has been forgiven for having sinned. Then that person will be allowed to be with other people again.

21 Men hvis han er fattig og ikke evner at give så meget, skal han tage et enkelt Lam til Skyldoffer. til at udføre Svingningen med, for at der kan skaffes ham Soning. desuden en Tiendedel Efa fint Hvedemel, rørt i Olie, til Afgrødeoffer og en Log Olie

“But if the person who has been healed of a skin disease is poor and cannot afford to bring all those animals, he must take to the priest one male lamb to be lifted up to be an offering for his not giving to me the things that he was required to give me. He must also take two quarts/liters of fine flour mixed with olive oil to be an offering made from grain, (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) of olive oil,

22 og to Turtelduer eller Dueunger, hvad han nu evner at give, den ene skal være til Syndoffer, den anden til Brændoffer.

and two doves or two young pigeons, one for him to be forgiven for the sins he has committed, and one to be completely burned [on the altar].

23 Dem skal han den ottende Dag efter sin Renselse bringe til Præsten ved Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang for HERRENs Åsyn.

“On that same day, that person must take those things to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, to offer them to Yahweh.

24 Så skal Præsten tage Skyldofferlammet med den Log Olie, som hører dertil, og Præsten skal udføre Svingningen dermed for HERRENs Åsyn.

The priest will take the lamb for the offering for that person not giving to me the things that he was required to give me, along with the olive oil, and lift them up in front of me.

25 Og han skal slagte Skyldofferlammet, og Præsten skal tage noget af Skyldofferets Blod og stryge det på højre Øreflip af den, der skal renses, og på hans højre Tommelfinger og højre Tommeltå.

Then the priest will slaughter that lamb [and drain some of the blood in a bowl], and take some of that blood and put it on the lobe/tip of the person’s right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.

26 Og af Olien skal Præsten hælde noget i sin venstre Hånd,

Then the priest will pour some of the oil into the palm of his left hand,

27 og Præsten skal med sin højre Pegefinger syv Gangestænke noget af Olien, som er i hans venstre Hånd, for HERRENs Åsyn.

and with his right forefinger he must sprinkle some of the oil from his palm there in my presence.

28 Og af Olien, som er i hans Hånd, skal Præsten stryge noget på højre Øreflip af den, der skal renses, og på hans højre Tommelfinger og højre Tommeltå oven på Skyldofferets Blod.

He must put some of the oil in his palm on the same places where he put the blood.

29 Og Resten af Olien, som er i hans Hånd, skal Præsten hælde på Hovedet af den, der skal renses, for at skaffe ham Soning for HERRENs Åsyn.

He must put the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the head of the person who has been healed of a skin disease, to indicate that I have forgiven him for having sinned.

30 Derpå skal han ofre den ene Turteldue eller Dueunge, hvad han nu har evnet at give,

Then the priest must sacrifice the doves or the pigeons, whichever that person has brought.

31 den ene som Syndoffer, den anden som Brændoffet, sammen med Afgrødeofferet; og Præsten skal skaffe den, der skal renses, Soning for HERRENs Åsyn.

One will be an offering for sin and the other will be completely burned on the altar, along with the offering of grain. By doing that, the priest will declare that the person is no longer guilty for having sinned.

32 Det er Loven om den, der har været angrebet af Spedalskhed og ikke evner at bringe det almindelige Offer ved sin Renselse.

“Those are the regulations for anyone who has a contagious skin disease and who is poor and cannot afford the usual offerings, in order that he can be with people again.”

33 Og HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:

Yahweh also said to Aaron and Moses/me,

34 Når I kommer til Kanåns Land, som jeg vil give eder i Eje, og jeg lader Spedalskhed komme frem på et Hus i eders Ejendomsland,

“I am about to give you Canaan land to belong to your people permanently. When you enter that land, there will be times when I cause/allow mildew to appear inside one of your houses.

35 så skal Husets Ejer gå hen og melde det til Præsten og sige: "Der har i mit Hus vist sig noget, der ligner Spedalskhed!"

If that happens, the owner of that house must go to the priest and tell him, ‘There is something in my house that looks like mildew.’

36 Da skal Præsten give Ordre til at flytte alt ud af Huset, inden han kommer for at syne Pletten, for at ikke noget af, hvad der er i Huset, skal blive urent; derpå skal Præsten komme for at syne Huset.

“Then the priest will say to him, ‘Take everything out of the house before I enter the house to examine the mildew. If you do not do that, I will declare that everything in the house is contaminated.’

37 Viser det sig da, når han syner Pletten, at Pletten på Husets Vægge frembyder grønlige eller rødlige Fordybninger, der ser ud til at ligge dybere end Væggen udenom,

[After the owner takes everything outside of his house], the priest will go in and inspect the house. If the mildew has caused greenish or reddish spots/depressions on the walls that seem to be deeper than only on the surface of the walls,

38 skal Præsten gå ud af Huset til Husets Dør og holde Huset lukket i syv Dage.

the priest will go outside the house and lock it up for seven days.

39 På den syvende Dag skal Præsten komme igen og syne det, og hvis det da viser sig, at Pletten har bredt sig på Husets Vægge,

On the seventh day, he must go into the house and inspect it again. If the mildew on the walls has spread,

40 skal Præsten give Ordre til at udtage de angrebne Sten og kaste dem hen på et urent Sted uden for Byen

the priest will tell someone to tear out and throw in the dump outside the town all the stones in the walls that have mildew on them.

41 og til at skrabe Lerpudset af Husets indvendige Vægge og hælde det fjernede Puds ud på et urent Sted uden for Byen.

Then the owner must scrape all the walls inside the house, and everything that is scraped off must be thrown into a dump outside the town.

42 Derefter skal man tage andre Sten og sætte dem ind i Stedet for de gamle og ligeledes tage nyt Puds og pudse Huset dermed.

Then the owner must get new/other stones to replace the ones that had mildew on them, and take new clay and plaster [to cover the stones in the walls of] the house.

43 Hvis Pletten så atter bryder frem i Huset, efter at Stenene er taget ud, Pudset skrabet af og Huset pudset på ny,

“If the mildew appears again in the house after that is done,

44 skal Præsten komme og syne Huset, og viser det sig da, at Pletten har bredt sig på Huset, så er det ondartet Spedalskhed, der er på Huset; det er urent.

the priest must go and examine the house again. If the mildew has spread inside the house, it will be clear that the mildew is the kind that destroys [houses], and no one will be allowed to live in it.

45 Da skal man rive Huset ned, Sten, Træværk og alt Pudset på Huset, og bringe det til et urent Sted uden for Byen.

It must be completely torn down—the stones, the timber and the plaster—and all those things must be thrown into a dump outside the town.

46 Den, som går ind i Huset, så længe det er lukket, skal være uren til Aften;

“Anyone who goes into that house while it is locked up will not be allowed to be with other people until sunset of that day.

47 den, der sover deri skal tvætte sine Klæder, og den der spiser deri, skal tvætte sine Klæder.

Anyone who sleeps in that house or eats in that house [during that time] must wash his clothes.

48 Men hvis det, når Præsten kommer og syner Huset, viser sig, at Pletten ikke har bredt sig på det, efter at det er pudset på ny, skal Præsten erklære Huset for rent, thi Pletten er helbredt.

“But when the priest comes to examine the house after it has been plastered, if the mildew has not spread, he shall declare that people may live in it, because the mildew is gone.

49 Da skal han for at rense Huset for Synd tage to Fugle, Cedertræ, karmoisinrødt Garn og en Ysopkvist.

But before people are allowed to live in it, the priest must take two small birds and some cedar wood and some red/scarlet yarn and some hyssop.

50 Den ene Fugl skal han slagte over et Lerkar med rindende Vand,

He must kill one of the birds while [holding it] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.

51 og han skal tage Cedertræet, Ysopkvisten, det karmoisinrøde Garn og den levende Fugl og dyppe dem i Blodet af den slagtede Fugl og det rindende Vand og syv Gange foretage Bestænkning på Huset

Then he must take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the red/scarlet yarn, and the other/living bird, and dip them into the blood of the dead bird, and sprinkle some of that blood on the house seven times.

52 og således rense det for Synd med Fuglens Blod, det rindende Vand, den levende Fugl, Cedertræet, Ysopkvisten og det karmoisinrøde Garn.

By doing all those things he will cause the house to be acceptable to be lived in again.

53 Og den levende Fugl skal han lade flyve ud af Byen hen over Marken og således skaffe Huset Soning; så er det rent.

Then he must release the other bird and allow it to fly away. By doing that, he will [finish the ritual for] causing the house to be acceptable for people to live in it again.

54 Det er Loven om al Slags Spedalskhed og Skurv,

“Those are the regulations for contagious diseases, for itching sores,

55 om Spedalskhed på Klæder og Huse

for mildew [DOU] on clothes or in a house,

56 og om Hævelser, Udslæt og lyse Pletter,

and for swellings, rashes, or bright spots [on sores],

57 til Belæring om, når noget er urent, og når det er rent. Det er Loven om Spedalskhed.

to find out whether a person has a contagious disease or not, and whether people will still be permitted to touch their clothing or their house, or not.”
