Ezekiel 44
1 Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks toward the east. And it was shut.
Derpaa førte han mig tilbage ad Helligdommens ydre Østport til, og den var lukket.
2 And Jehovah said to me, This gate shall be shut. It shall not be opened, nor shall any man enter in by it, for Jehovah, the God of Israel, has entered in by it. Therefore it shall be shut.
Og HERREN sagde til mig: Denne Port skal være lukket og maa ikke aabnes! Ingen maa gaa ind derigennem, thi igennem den drog HERREN, Israels Gud, ind; derfor skal den være lukket.
3 As for the ruler, he shall sit in it as ruler to eat bread before Jehovah. He shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
Kun Fyrsten maa sidde i den og holde Maaltid for HERRENS Aasyn; men han skal gaa ind igennem Portforhallens Dør og samme Vej ud.
4 Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house. And I looked, and, behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah. And I fell upon my face.
Derpaa førte han mig i Retning af Nordporten til Pladsen foran Templet, og jeg skuede, og se, HERRENS Herlighed fyldte HERRENS Hus, og jeg faldt paa mit Ansigt.
5 And Jehovah said to me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say to thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of Jehovah, and all the laws of it. And mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.
Da sagde HERREN til mig: Menneskesøn, mærk dig og se med dine Øjne og hør med dine Ører alt, hvad jeg taler til dig med Hensyn til alle Vedtægter og Love om HERRENS Hus, og læg vel Mærke til, hvad der gælder om Adgang til Templet gennem en hvilken som helst af Helligdommens Udgange.
6 And thou shall say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus says the lord Jehovah: O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
Og sig til Israels Hus, den genstridige Slægt: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Lad det nu være nok med alle eders Vederstyggeligheder, Israels Hus,
7 in that ye have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood. And they have broken my covenant, to add to all your abominations.
at I lod fremmede med uomskaarne Hjerter og uomskaaret Kød komme ind i min Helligdom, for at de skulde være der og vanhellige mit Hus, naar I frembar min Mad, Fedt og Blod og saaledes brød min Pagt ved alle eders Vederstyggeligheder.
8 And ye have not kept the charge of my holy things, but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
I tog ikke Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage ved mine hellige Ting, men overlod de fremmede at tage Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage i min Helligdom.
9 Thus says the lord Jehovah: No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners that are among the sons of Israel.
Derfor, saa siger den Herre HERREN: Ingen fremmed med uomskaaret Hjerte og uomskaaret Kød maa komme i min Helligdom, ikke een af de fremmede, som lever blandt Israels Børn.
10 But the Levites who went far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.
Men de Leviter, som fjernede sig fra mig, da Israel for vild, idet de for vild fra mig og holdt sig til deres Afgudsbilleder, de skal bære deres Misgerning.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house. They shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
De skal i min Helligdom gøre Vagttjeneste ved Tempelportene og udføre Arbejdet i Templet, idet de skal slagte Brændofrene og Slagtofrene for Folket og staa dem til Tjeneste og gaa dem til Haande.
12 Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them, says the lord Jehovah, and they shall bear their iniquity.
Fordi de gik dem til Haande over for deres Afgudsbilleder og saaledes blev Aarsag til Skyld for Israels Hus, derfor løfter jeg min Haand imod dem, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN, paa at de skal bære deres Misgerning.
13 And they shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy, but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
De maa ikke nærme sig mig for at gøre Præstetjeneste for mig, ej heller maa de nærme sig nogen af mine hellige Ting, det højhellige, men de skal bære deres Skændsel og de Vederstyggeligheder, de øvede.
14 Yet I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service of it, and for all that shall be done in it.
Jeg sætter dem til at tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage i Templet ved alt Arbejde der, ved alt, hvad der er at gøre derinde.
15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept the charge of my sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me. And they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, says the lord Jehovah:
Men Levitpræsterne, Zadoks Efterkommere, som tog Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage i min Helligdom, dengang Israeliterne for vild fra mig, skal nærme sig mig for at gaa mig til Haande og være mig til Tjeneste og ofre mig Fedt og Blod, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
16 they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my charge.
De skal gaa ind i min Helligdom og nærme sig mit Bord for at gaa mig til Haande og tage Vare paa, hvad jeg vil have varetaget.
17 And it shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments, and no wool shall come upon them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
Og naar de gaar ind ad den indre Forgaards Port, skal de være iført Linnedklæder; de maa ikke have Uld paa Kroppen, naar de gør Tjeneste i den indre Forgaards Porte eller længere inde.
18 They shall have linen headdresses upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins. They shall not gird themselves with anything that causes sweat.
De skal bære Linnedhuer paa Hovedet og Linnedbenklæder om Lænderne; de maa ikke omgjorde sig med noget, som fremkalder Sved.
19 And when they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister, and lay them in the holy chambers. And they shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments.
Og naar de gaar ud i den ydre Forgaard til Folket, skal de afføre sig de Klæder, i hvilke de gør Tjeneste, gemme dem i Helligdommens Kamre og iføre sig andre Klæder, at de ikke skal gøre Folket helligt med deres Klæder.
20 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor allow their locks to grow long. They shall only cut off the hair of their heads.
Hovedet maa de ikke rage, dog heller ikke lade Haaret vokse frit, men de skal klippe deres Haar.
21 Neither shall any of the priests drink wine when they enter into the inner court.
Vin maa ingen Præst drikke, naar han gaar ind i den indre Forgaard.
22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her who is put away, but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
Enke eller fraskilt maa de ikke tage til Ægte, men kun Jomfruer af Israels Hus; dog maa de ægte Enken efter en Præst.
23 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
De skal lære mit Folk at skelne mellem det, som er helligt, og det, som ikke er helligt, og undervise dem i Forskellen mellem rent og urent.
24 And in a controversy they shall stand to judge. They shall judge it according to my ordinances. And they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts, and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
Ved Retstrætter skal de optræde som Dommere; efter mine Lovbud skal de dømme. De skal overholde mine Love og Vedtægter paa alle mine Højtidsdage og helligholde mine Sabbater.
25 And they shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves. But for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister who has had no husband, they may defile themselves.
Et Lig maa de ikke komme nær, at de ikke skal blive urene derved; kun ved Fader, Moder, Søn, Datter, Broder eller ugift Søster maa de gøre sig urene;
26 And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon to him seven days.
og efter at være blevet uren skal han tælle syv Dage frem, saa er han atter ren;
27 And in the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, says the lord Jehovah.
den Dag han atter gaar ind i Helligdommen, i den indre Forgaard, for at gøre Tjeneste i Helligdommen, skal han frembære et Syndoffer, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
28 And they shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance. And ye shall give them no possession in Israel. I am their possession.
De skal ingen Arvelod have; jeg er deres Arvelod. Og Ejendom i Israel maa I ikke give dem; jeg er deres Ejendom.
29 They shall eat the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering. And every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.
Afgrødeofferet, Syndofferet og Skyldofferet skal de spise, og alt, hvad der er lagt Band paa i Israel, skal tilfalde dem.
30 And the first of all the first-fruits of every thing, and every oblation of everything, of all your oblations, shall be for the priest. Ye shall also give to the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on thy house.
Det bedste af al Førstegrøde af enhver Art, alle Offerydelser af enhver Art, alt, hvad I maatte yde, skal tilfalde Præsterne, og Førstegrøden af eders Grovmel skal I give Præsten for at nedkalde Velsignelse over eders Huse.
31 The priests shall not eat of anything that dies of itself, or is torn, whether it be bird or beast.
Intet Aadsel og intet, som er sønderrevet, være sig Fugl eller firføddet Dyr, maa Præsterne spise.
