< Numbers 19 >

1 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og Aron og sagde:
2 This is the rule of the law which the Lord has made, saying, Give orders to the children of Israel to give you a red cow without any mark on her, and on which the yoke has never been put:
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 her to Eleazar the priest and let him take her outside the tent-circle and have her put to death before him.
Den skal I overgive til Præsten Eleazar, og man skal føre den uden for Lejren og slagte den for hans Åsyn.
4 Then let Eleazar the priest take some of her blood on his finger, shaking the blood seven times in the direction of 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 And the cow is to be burned before him, her skin and her flesh and her blood and her waste are to be burned:
Derpå skal Kvien brændes i hans Påsyn; dens Hud, Kød og Blod tillige med Skarnet skal opbrændes.
6 Then let the priest take cedar-wood and hyssop and red thread, and put them into the fire where the cow is burning.
Derefter skal Præsten tage Cedertræ, Ysop og karmoisinrødt Uld og kaste det på Bålet, hvor Kvien brænder.
7 And the priest, after washing his clothing and bathing his body in water, may come back to the tent-circle, and will be unclean till 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 And he who does the burning is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till 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 let a man who is clean take the dust of the burned cow and put it outside the tent-circle in a clean place, where it is to be kept for the children of Israel and used in making the water which takes away what is unclean: it is a sin-offering.
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 And he who takes up the dust of the burned cow is to have his clothing washed with water and be unclean till evening: this is to be a law for ever, for the children of Israel as well as for the man from another country who is living 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 Anyone touching a 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 On the third day and on the seventh day he is to make himself clean with the water, and so he will be clean: but if he does not do this on the third day and on the seventh day, 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 touching the body of a dead man without making himself clean in this way, makes the House of the Lord unclean; and that man will be cut off from Israel: because the water was not put on him, he will be unclean; his unclean condition is unchanged.
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 death comes to a man in his tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is 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 every open vessel without a cover fixed on it will be unclean.
og ethvert åbent Kar, et, der ikke er bundet noget over, bliver urent.
16 And anyone touching one who has been put to death with the sword in the open country, or the body of one who has come to his end by a natural death, or a man's bone, or the resting-place of a dead body, 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 And for the unclean, they are to take the dust of the burning of the sin-offering, and put flowing water on it in a vessel:
For sådanne urene skal man da tage noget af Asken af det brændte Syndoffer og hælde rindende Vand derover i en Skål.
18 And a clean person is to take hyssop and put it in the water, shaking it over the tent, and all the vessels, and the people who were there, and over him by whom the bone, or the body of one who has been put to death with the sword, or the body of one who has come to his end by a natural death, or the resting-place was touched.
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 Let the clean person do this to the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he is to make him clean; and after washing his clothing and bathing himself in water, he will be clean in the evening.
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 the man who, being unclean, does not make himself clean in this way, will be cut off from the meeting of the people, because he has made the holy place of the Lord unclean: the water has not been put 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 to be a law for them for ever: he who puts the water on the unclean person is to have his clothing washed; and anyone touching the water will be unclean till 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 touched by the unclean person will be unclean; and any person touching it will be unclean till evening.
Alt, hvad den urene rører ved skal være urent, og enhver, der rører ved ham, skal være uren til Aften.
