Numbers 18
1 And Jehovah said to Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy fathers' house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary, and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
HERREN sagde til Aron: Du tillige med dine Sønner og dit Fædrenehus skal have Ansvaret for Helligdommen, og du tillige med dine Sønner skal have Ansvaret for eders Præstetjeneste.
2 And thy brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined to thee, and minister to thee, but thou and thy sons with thee shall be before the tent of the testimony.
Men ogsaa dine Brødre, Levis Stamme, din Fædrenestamme, skal du lade træde frem sammen med dig, og de skal holde sig til dig og gaa dig til Haande, naar du tillige med dine Sønner gør Tjeneste foran Vidnesbyrdets Telt;
3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tent. Only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they not die, neither they, nor ye.
og de skal tage Vare paa, hvad du har at varetage, og paa alt, hvad der er at varetage ved Teltet, men de maa ikke komme de hellige Ting eller Alteret nær, at ikke baade de og I skal dø.
4 And they shall be joined to thee, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent, and a stranger shall not come near to you.
De skal holde sig til dig og tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Aabenbaringsteltet, alt Arbejdet derved, men ingen Lægmand maa der komme eder nær.
5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar, that there be no more wrath upon the sons of Israel.
Men I skal tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Helligdommen og Alteret, for at der ikke atter skal komme Vrede over Israeliterne.
6 And I, behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the sons of Israel. They are a gift to you, given to Jehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting.
Se, jeg har selv udtaget eders Brødre Leviterne af Israeliternes Midte som en Gave til eder, de er givet HERREN til at udføre Arbejdet ved Aabenbaringsteltet.
7 And thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil, and ye shall serve. I give you the priesthood as a service of gift. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
Men du tillige med dine Sønner skal tage Vare paa eders Præstegerning i alt, hvad der angaar Alteret og det, der er inden for Forhænget, og udføre Arbejdet derved. Som en Gave skænker jeg eder Præstedømmet; men enhver Lægmand, der trænger sig ind deri, skal lide Døden.
8 And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of my heave offerings, even all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel. I have given them to thee by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, as a portion forever.
HERREN talede fremdeles til Aron: Se, jeg giver dig, hvad der skal lægges til Side af mine Offerydelser; alle Israeliternes Helliggaver giver jeg dig og dine Sønner som eders Del, en evig gyldig Rettighed.
9 This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.
Følgende skal tilfalde dig af det højhellige, fraregnet hvad der opbrændes: Alle deres Offergaver, der falder ind under Afgrødeofre, Syndofre og Skyldofre, som de bringer mig til Erstatning; som højhelligt skal dette tilfalde dig og dine Sønner.
10 As the most holy things thou shall eat of it; every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to thee.
Paa et højhelligt Sted skal du spise det, og alle af Mandkøn maa spise deraf; det skal være dig helligt.
11 And this is thine: the heave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the sons of Israel. I have given them to thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a portion forever. Everyone who is clean in thy house shall eat of it.
Fremdeles skal følgende tilfalde dig som Offerydelse af deres Gaver: Alle Gaver fra Israeliterne, hvormed der udføres Svingning, giver jeg dig tillige med dine Sønner og Døtre som en evig gyldig Rettighed; enhver, som er ren i dit Hus, maa spise deraf.
12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give to Jehovah, I have given them to thee.
Alt det bedste af Olien, Mosten og Kornet, Førstegrøden deraf, som de giver HERREN, giver jeg dig.
13 The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to Jehovah, shall be thine. Everyone who is clean in thy house shall eat of it.
De første Frugter af alt, hvad der gror i deres Land, som de bringer HERREN, skal tilfalde dig; enhver, som er ren i dit Hus, maa spise deraf.
14 Everything devoted in Israel shall be thine.
Alt, hvad der lægges Band paa i Israel, skal tilfalde dig.
15 Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to Jehovah, both of man and beast shall be thine. Nevertheless the firstborn of man thou shall surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts thou shall redeem.
Af alt Kød, som de bringer til HERREN, saavel af Mennesker som af Dyr, skal alt, hvad der aabner Moders Liv, tilfalde dig; dog skal du lade de førstefødte Mennesker udløse, og ligeledes skal du lade de førstefødte urene Dyr udløse.
16 And those that are to be redeemed of them from a month old shall thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs).
Hine skal du lade udløse, naar de er en Maaned gamle eller derover, med en Vurderingssum af fem Sekel efter hellig Vægt, tyve Gera paa en Sekel.
17 But the firstling of an ox, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shall not redeem. They are holy. Thou shall sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor to Jehovah.
Men de førstefødte Stykker Hornkvæg, Lam eller Geder maa du ikke lade udløse; de er hellige, deres Blod skal du sprænge paa Alteret, og Fedtet skal du bringe som Røgoffer, et Ildoffer til en liflig Duft for HERREN;
18 And the flesh of them shall be thine. As the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine.
men Kødet tilfalder dig; ligesom Svingningsbrystet og højre Kølle tilfalder det dig.
19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the sons of Israel offer to Jehovah, I have given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as a portion forever. It is a covenant of salt forever before Jehovah to thee and to thy seed with thee.
Al Offerydelse af Helliggaver, som Israeliterne yder HERREN, giver jeg dig tillige med dine Sønner og Døtre som en evig gyldig Rettighed; det skal være en evig gyldig Saltpagt for HERRENS Aasyn for dig tillige med dine Efterkommere.
20 And Jehovah said to Aaron, Thou shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall thou have any portion among them. I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the sons of Israel.
HERREN sagde fremdeles til Aron: Du skal ingen Arvelod have i deres Land, og der skal ikke tilfalde dig nogen Lod iblandt dem; jeg selv er din Arvelod og Del blandt Israeliterne.
21 And to the sons of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting.
Men se, Levisønnerne giver jeg al Tiende i Israel som Arvelod til Løn for det Arbejde, de udfører ved Aabenbaringsteltet.
22 And henceforth the sons of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
Israeliterne maa herefter ikke komme Aabenbaringsteltet nær, for at de ikke skal paadrage sig Synd og dø;
23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. And among the sons of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
kun Leviterne maa udføre Arbejdet ved Aabenbaringsteltet, og de skal have Ansvaret derfor. Det skal være eder en evig gyldig Anordning fra Slægt til Slægt. Men nogen Arvelod skal de ikke have blandt Israeliterne;
24 For the tithe of the sons of Israel, which they offer as a heave offering to Jehovah, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance. Therefore I have said to them, Among the sons of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
thi Tienden, Israeliterne yder HERREN som Offerydelse, giver jeg Leviterne til Arvelod. Derfor sagde jeg dem, at de ikke skal have nogen Arvelod blandt Israeliterne.
25 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
26 Moreover thou shall speak to the Levites, and say to them, When ye take from the sons of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up a heave offering of it for Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe.
Tal til Leviterne og sig til dem: Naar I af Israeliterne modtager Tienden, som jeg har givet eder som den Arvelod, I skal have af dem, saa skal I yde HERREN en Offerydelse deraf, Tiende af Tienden;
27 And your heave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing-floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.
og denne eders Offerydelse skal ligestilles med Offerydelsen af Kornet fra Tærskepladsen og Overfloden fra Vinpersen.
28 Thus ye also shall offer a heave offering to Jehovah of all your tithes, which ye receive of the sons of Israel. And from it ye shall give Jehovah's heave offering to Aaron the priest.
Saaledes skal ogsaa I yde HERREN en Offerydelse af al den Tiende, I modtager af Israeliterne, og denne HERRENS Offerydelse skal I give Præsten Aron.
29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of Jehovah, of all the best of it, even the hallowed part of it out of it.
Af alle de Gaver, I modtager, skal I yde HERRENS Offerydelse, af alt det bedste deraf, som hans Helliggave.
30 Therefore thou shall say to them, When ye heave the best of it from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the wine-press.
Og sig til dem: Naar I yder det bedste deraf, skal det ligestilles med Offerydelsen af, hvad der kommer fra Tærskepladsen og Vinpersen.
31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households, for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting.
I maa spise det hvor som helst sammen med eders Familie, thi det er eders Løn for eders Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet.
32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it. And ye shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel, that ye not die.
Naar I blot yder det bedste deraf, skal I ikke for den Sags Skyld paadrage eder Synd og ikke vanhellige Israeliternes Helliggaver og udsætte eder for at dø.
