4 Mosebog 10

1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Du skal lave dig to Sølvtrompeter; i drevet Arbejde skal du lave dem. Dem skal du bruge, når Menigheden skal kaldes sammen, og når Lejrene skal bryde op.

Make thee two trumpets of silver, of beaten work thou shall make them. And thou shall use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.

3 Når der blæses i dem begge to, skal hele Menigheden samle sig hos dig ved Indgangen til Åbenbaringsteltet.

And when they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to thee at the door of the tent of meeting.

4 Blæses der kun i den ene, skal Øversterne, Overhovederne for Israels Stammer, samle sig hos dig.

And if they blow but one, then the rulers, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to thee.

5 Når I blæser Alarm med dem, skal Lejrene på Østsiden bryde op;

And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey.

6 blæser Alarm anden Gang, skal Lejrene på Sydsiden bryde op: tredje Gang skal Lejrene mod Vest bryde op, fjerde Gang Lejrene mod Nord; der skal blæses Alarm, når de skal bryde op.

And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey. They shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

7 Men når Forsamlingen skal sammenkaldes skal I blæse på almindelig Vis, ikke Alarm.

But when the assembly is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.

8 Arons Sønner, Præsterne, skal blæse i Trompeterne; det skal være eder en evig gyldig Anordning fra Slægt til Slægt.

And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets, and they shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.

9 Når I drager i Krig i eders Land mod en Fjende, der angriber eder, og blæser Alarm med Trompeterne, skal I ihukommes for HERREN eders Guds Åsyn og frelses fra eders Fjender.

And when ye go to war in your land against the adversary that oppresses you, then ye shall sound an alarm with the trumpets. And ye shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.

10 Og på eders Glædesdage, eders Højtider og Nymånedage, skal I blæse i Trompeterne ved eders Brændofre og Takofre; så skal de tjene eder til Ihukommelse for eders Guds Åsyn. Jeg er HERREN eders Gud!

Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings. And they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Jehovah your God.

11 Den tyvende Dag i den anden Måned af det andet År løftede Skyen sig fra Vidnesbyrdets Bolig.

And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony.

12 Da brød Israeliterne op fra Sinaj Ørken, i den Orden de skulde bryde op i, og Skyen stod stille i Parans Ørken.

28 Således foregik Israelitternes Opbrud, Hærafdeling for Hærafdeling. Så brød de da op.

29 Men Moses sagde til Midjaniten Hobab, Reuels Søn, Moses's Svigerfader: "Vi bryder nu op for at drage til det Sted, HERREN har lovet at give os; drag med os! Vi skal lønne dig godt, thi HERREN har stillet Israel gode Ting i Udsigt."

And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which Jehovah said, I will give it to you. Come thou with us, and we will do thee good, for Jehovah has spoken good concerning Israel.

30 Men han svarede ham: "Jeg vil ikke drage med; nej, jeg drager til mit Land og min Slægt."

And he said to him, I will not go, but I will depart to my own land, and to my kindred.

31 Da sagde han: "Forlad os ikke! Du kender jo de Steder, hvor vi kan slå Lejr i Ørkenen; vær Øje for os!

And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee, inasmuch as thou know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou shall be to us instead of eyes.

32 Drager du med os, skal vi give dig Del i alt det gode, HERREN vil give os."

And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that whatever good Jehovah shall do to us, the same we will do to thee.

33 Derpå brød de op fra HERRENs Bjerg og vandrede tre Dagsrejser frem, idet HERRENs Pagts Ark drog i Forvejen for at søge dem et Sted, hvor de kunde holde Hvil.

And they set forward from the mount of Jehovah three days' journey. And the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting-place for them.

34 Og HERRENs Sky svævede over dem om Dagen, når de brød op fra Lejren.

And the cloud of Jehovah was over them by day when they set forward from the camp.

35 Og hver Gang Arken brød op, sagde Moses: "Stå op, HERRE, at dine Fjender må splittes og dine Avindsmænd fly for dit Åsyn!"

And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, O Jehovah, and let thine enemies be scattered, and let those who hate thee flee before thee.

36 Og hver Gang den standsede, sagde han: "Vend tilbage, HERRE, til Israels Stammers Titusinder!"

And when it rested, he said, Return, O Jehovah, to the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.
