Numbers 19
1 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og Aron og sagde:
2 “This is the statute of the law that the LORD has commanded: Instruct the Israelites to bring you an unblemished red heifer that has no defect and has never been placed under a yoke.
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.
3 Give it to Eleazar the priest, and he will have it brought outside the camp and slaughtered in his presence.
Den skal I overgive til Præsten Eleazar, og man skal føre den uden for Lejren og slagte den for hans Åsyn.
4 Eleazar the priest is to take some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the front of the Tent of Meeting.
Så skal Præsten Eleazar tage noget af dens Blod på sin Finger og stænke det syv Gange i Retning af Åbenbaringsteltets Forside.
5 Then the heifer must be burned in his sight. Its hide, its flesh, and its blood are to be burned, along with its dung.
Derpå skal Kvien brændes i hans Påsyn; dens Hud, Kød og Blod tillige med Skarnet skal opbrændes.
6 The priest is to take cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet wool and throw them onto the burning heifer.
Derefter skal Præsten tage Cedertræ, Ysop og karmoisinrødt Uld og kaste det på Bålet, hvor Kvien brænder.
7 Then the priest must wash his clothes and bathe his body in water; after that he may enter the camp, but he will be ceremonially unclean until evening.
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.
8 The one who burned the heifer must also wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and he too will be ceremonially unclean until evening.
Ligeledes skal den Mand, der brænder Kvien, tvætte sine Klæder med Vand og bade sit Legeme i Vand og være uren til Aften.
9 Then a man who is ceremonially clean is to gather up the ashes of the heifer and store them in a ceremonially clean place outside the camp. They must be kept by the congregation of Israel for preparing the water of purification; this is for purification from sin.
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.
10 The man who has gathered up the ashes of the heifer must also wash his clothes, and he will be ceremonially unclean until evening. This is a permanent statute for the Israelites and for the foreigner residing among them.
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:
11 Whoever touches any dead body will be unclean for seven days.
Den, der rører ved en død, ved noget som helst Lig, skal være uren i syv Dage.
12 He must purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day; then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third and seventh days, he will not be clean.
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.
13 Anyone who touches a human corpse and fails to purify himself defiles the tabernacle of the LORD. That person must be cut off from Israel. He remains unclean, because the water of purification has not been sprinkled on him, and his uncleanness is still on him.
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.
14 This is the law when a person dies in a tent: Everyone who enters the tent and everyone already in the tent will be unclean for seven days,
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;
15 and any open container without a lid fastened on it is unclean.
og ethvert åbent Kar, et, der ikke er bundet noget over, bliver urent.
16 Anyone in the open field who touches someone who has been killed by the sword or has died of natural causes, or anyone who touches a human bone or a grave, will be unclean for seven days.
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.
17 For the purification of the unclean person, take some of the ashes of the burnt sin offering, put them in a jar, and pour fresh water over them.
For sådanne urene skal man da tage noget af Asken af det brændte Syndoffer og hælde rindende Vand derover i en Skål.
18 Then a man who is ceremonially clean is to take some hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle the tent, all the furnishings, and the people who were there. He is also to sprinkle the one who touched a bone, a grave, or a person who has died or been slain.
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.
19 The man who is ceremonially clean is to sprinkle the unclean person on the third day and on the seventh day. After he purifies the unclean person on the seventh day, the one being cleansed must wash his clothes and bathe in water, and that evening he will be clean.
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.
20 But if a person who is unclean does not purify himself, he will be cut off from the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD. The water of purification has not been sprinkled on him; he is unclean.
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.
21 This is a permanent statute for the people: The one who sprinkles the water of purification must wash his clothes, and whoever touches the water of purification will be unclean until evening.
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.
22 Anything the unclean person touches will become unclean, and anyone who touches it will be unclean until evening.”
Alt, hvad den urene rører ved skal være urent, og enhver, der rører ved ham, skal være uren til Aften.
