< 4 Mosebog 19 >
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og Aron og sagde:
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
2 Dette er det Lovbud, HERREN har kundgjort: Sig til Israelitterne, at de skal skaffe dig en rød, lydefri Kvie, der er uden Fejl og ikke har båret Åg.
“This is a legal regulation the Lord has ordered, saying, ‘Tell the Israelites to bring you a red cow without defects which has never been yoked.
3 Den skal I overgive til Præsten Eleazar, og man skal føre den uden for Lejren og slagte den for hans Åsyn.
Hand it over to Eleazar the priest, and he will take it outside the camp and have it slaughtered before him.
4 Så skal Præsten Eleazar tage noget af dens Blod på sin Finger og stænke det syv Gange i Retning af Åbenbaringsteltets Forside.
Eleazar the priest will put some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times towards the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
5 Derpå skal Kvien brændes i hans Påsyn; dens Hud, Kød og Blod tillige med Skarnet skal opbrændes.
Then the cow must be burned as he watches All of it is to be burned—its skin, meat, and blood, as well as its excrement.
6 Derefter skal Præsten tage Cedertræ, Ysop og karmoisinrødt Uld og kaste det på Bålet, hvor Kvien brænder.
The priest shall throw cedar wood, hyssop, and crimson thread on the burning cow.
7 Så skal Præsten tvætte sine Klæder og bade sit Legeme i Vand og derefter vende tilbage til Lejren. Men Præsten skal være uren til Aften.
Then the priest shall wash his clothes and his body in water, and after that he may enter the camp, but he will remain unclean until the evening.
8 Ligeledes skal den Mand, der brænder Kvien, tvætte sine Klæder med Vand og bade sit Legeme i Vand og være uren til Aften.
The person who burned the cow shall also wash his clothes and his body in water, and he too will remain unclean until the evening.
9 Og en Mand, der er ren, skal opsamle Kviens Aske og lægge den hen på et rent Sted uden for Lejren, hvor den skal opbevares for Israelitternes Menighed for at bruges til Renselsesvand. Det er et Syndoffer.
Then a man who is clean shall collect the ashes of the cow and keep them in a clean place outside the camp. They are to be kept by the Israelites to prepare the water of purification which is for purifying from sin.
10 Og den, der opsamler Kviens Aske, skal tvætte sine Klæder og være uren til Aften. For Israelitterne og den fremmede, der bor iblandt dem, skal dette være en evig gyldig Anordning:
The man who collected the ashes of the cow shall also wash his clothes, and he will remain unclean until the evening. This is a permanent rule for the Israelites and for the foreigner that lives with them.
11 Den, der rører ved en død, ved noget som helst Lig, skal være uren i syv Dage.
If you touch a dead body you will be unclean for seven days.
12 Han skal lade sig rense for Synd med Asken på den tredje og syvende Dag, så bliver han ren; men renser han sig ikke på den tredje og syvende Dag, bliver han ikke ren.
You must purify yourself with the water of purification on the third day and on the seventh day, and then you will be clean. But if you don't purify yourself on the third and seventh days, you won't be clean.
13 Enhver, der rører ved en død, et Lig, og ikke lader sig rense for Synd, besmitter HERRENs Bolig, og det Menneske skal udryddes af Israel, fordi der ikke er stænket Renselsesvand på ham; han er uren, hans Urenhed klæber endnu ved ham.
If you touch a dead body and don't purify yourself you make the Tabernacle of the Lord unclean and must be expelled from Israel. You are still unclean because the water of purification hasn't been sprinkled on you, and your uncleanness remains.
14 Således er Loven: Når et Menneske dør i et Telt, bliver enhver, der træder ind i Teltet, og enhver, der er i Teltet, uren i syv Dage;
The following regulation applies when a person dies in a tent. Everyone who comes into the tent and everyone who is already in the tent will be unclean for seven days.
15 og ethvert åbent Kar, et, der ikke er bundet noget over, bliver urent.
Any open container there that doesn't have a closed lid is unclean.
16 Ligeledes bliver enhver, der på åben Mark rører ved en, der er dræbt med Sværd, eller ved en, der er død, eller ved Menneskeknogler eller en Grav, uren i syv Dage.
If you're out in the open and you touch someone who has been killed by the sword or who has died naturally, or if you touch a human bone or a grave, then you'll be unclean for seven days.
17 For sådanne urene skal man da tage noget af Asken af det brændte Syndoffer og hælde rindende Vand derover i en Skål.
This is the process for the purification if you are unclean. Take some of the ashes of the burnt offering for purification, and put them in a jar with fresh water.
18 Derpå skal en Mand, der er ren, tage en Ysopstængel, dyppe den i Vandet og stænke det på Teltet og på alle de Ting og Mennesker, der har været deri, og på den, der har rørt ved Menneskeknoglerne, den ihjelslagne, den døde eller Graven.
A man who is clean shall take some hyssop and dip it in the water. Then sprinkle the tent and everything inside it, and everybody who was there. He would also need to sprinkle you if you who touched a bone, or a grave, or someone who has died or has been killed.
19 Således skal den rene bestænke den urene på den tredje og syvende Dag og borttage hans Synd på den syvende Dag. Derefter skal han tvætte sine Klæder og bade sig i Vand, så er han ren, når det bliver aften.
The man who is clean is to sprinkle you both on the third day and on the seventh day. After you are purified on the seventh day, you must wash your clothes and yourself in water, and that evening you'll be clean.
20 Men den, som bliver uren og ikke lader sig rense for Synd, han skal udryddes af Forsamlingen; thi han har besmittet HERRENs Helligdom, der er ikke stænket Renselsesvand på ham, han er uren.
But if you don't purify yourself, you will be expelled from the Israelites, because you have made the Tabernacle of the Lord unclean. The water of purification hasn't been sprinkled on you, and you remain unclean.
21 Det skal være eder en evig gyldig Anordning. Den, der stænker Renselsesvandet, skal tvætte sine Klæder, og den, der rører ved Renselsesvandet, skal være uren til Aften.
This is a permanent rule for the everyone. The man who sprinkles the water of purification must wash his clothes, and anyone who touches the water of purification will be unclean until the evening.
22 Alt, hvad den urene rører ved skal være urent, og enhver, der rører ved ham, skal være uren til Aften.
Anything the unclean person touches will be unclean, and anyone who touches it will be unclean until the evening.”
