Numbers 31
1 Then the Lord said to Moses,
Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
2 Give the Midianites punishment for the wrong they did to the children of Israel: and after that you will go to rest with your people.
"Skaf Israelitterne Hævn over Midjaniterne; så skal du samles til din Slægt!"
3 So Moses said to the people, Let men from among you be armed for war to put into effect against Midian the Lord's punishment on them.
Da talte Moses til Folket og sagde: "Udrust Mænd af eders Midte til Kamp, for at de kan falde over Midjan og fuldbyrde HERRENs Hævn på Midjan;
4 From every tribe of Israel send a thousand to the war.
1000 Mand af hver af Israels Stammer skal I sende i Kamp!"
5 So from the thousands of Israel a thousand were taken from every tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war.
Af Israels Tusinder udtoges da 1000 af hver Stamme, i alt 12.000 Mand, rustede til Kamp.
6 And Moses sent them out to war, a thousand from every tribe, and with them Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, taking in his hands the vessels of the holy place and the horns for sounding the note of war.
Og Moses sendte dem i kamp, 1000 af hver Stamme, og sammen med dem Pinehas, Præsten Eleazars Søn, der medbragte de hellige Redskaber og Alarmtrompeterne.
7 And they made war on Midian, as the Lord gave orders to Moses; and they put to death every male.
De drog så ud i kamp mod Midjaniterne, som HERREN havde pålagt Moses, og dræbte alle af Mandkøn;
8 They put the kings of Midian to death with the rest, Evi and Reken and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian: and Balaam, the son of Beor, they put to death with the sword.
og foruden de andre, der blev slået ihjel, dræbte de også Midjans Konger, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur og Reba, Midjans fem Konger; også Bileam, Beors Søn, dræbte de med Sværdet.
9 The women of Midian with their little ones the children of Israel took prisoner; and all their cattle and flocks and all their goods they took for themselves;
Og Israelitterne bortførte Midjaniternes kvinder og Børn som Krigsfanger, og alt deres Kvæg alle deres Hjorde og alt deres Gods tog de med som Bytte;
10 And after burning all their towns and all their tent-circles,
og alle deres Byer på de beboede Steder og alle deres Teltlejre stak de Ild på.
11 They went away with the goods they had taken, man and beast.
Og alt det røvede og hele Byttet, både Mennesker og Dyr, tog de med sig,
12 And the prisoners and the goods and everything they had taken, they took to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the people of Israel, to the tent-circle in the lowlands of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
og de bragte Fangerne, Byttet og det røvede til Moses og Præsten Eleazar og Israelitternes Menighed i Lejren på Moabs Sletter ved Jordan over for Jeriko.
13 Then Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs of the people went out to them before they had come into the tent-circle.
Men Moses, Præsten Eleazar og alle Menighedens Øverste gik dem i Møde uden for Lejren,
14 And Moses was angry with the chiefs of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds who had come back from the war.
og Moses blev vred på Hærens Førere, Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne, som kom tilbage fra Krigstoget.
15 And Moses said to them, Why have you kept all the women safe?
Og Moses sagde til dem: "Har I ladet alle Kvinder i Live?
16 It was these who, moved by Balaam, were the cause of Israel's sin against the Lord in the question of Peor, because of which disease came on the people of the Lord.
Det var jo dem, der efter Bileams Råd blev Årsag til, at Israelitterne var troløse mod HERREN i den Sag med Peor, så at Plagen ramte HERRENs Menighed.
17 So now put every male child to death, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man.
Dræb derfor alle Drengebørn og alle kvinder, der har kendt Mand og haft Samleje med Mænd;
18 But all the female children who have had no sex relations with men, you may keep for yourselves.
men alle Piger, der ikke har haft Samleje med Mænd, skal I lade i Live og beholde,
19 You yourselves will have to keep outside the tent-circle for seven days, anyone of you who has put any person to death or come near a dead body; and on the third day and on the seventh day make yourselves and your prisoners clean.
Men selv skal I lejre eder uden for Lejren i syv Dage, enhver, som har dræbt nogen, og enhver, som har rørt ved en dræbt, og rense eder på den tredje og den syvende Dag, både I selv og eders Krigsfanger.
20 And every bit of clothing, and anything made of leather or goats' hair or wood, you are to make clean.
Og enhver Klædning, enhver Læder ting, alt, hvad der er lavet af Gedehår, og alle Træredskaber skal I rense!"
21 Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had been to the fight, This is the rule of the law which the Lord has given to Moses:
Og Præsten Eleazar sagde til Krigerne, der havde været med i Kampen: "Dette er det Lovbud, HERREN har givet Moses:
22 But gold and silver and brass and iron and tin and lead,
Kun Guld, Sølv, kobber, Jern, Tin og Bly,
23 And anything which may be heated, is to go through the fire and be made clean; but in addition it is to be put in the water of cleaning: and anything which may not go through the fire is to be put in the water.
alt, hvad der kan tåle Ild, skal I lade gå gennem Ild, så bliver det rent; dog må det renses med Renselsesvand. Men alt, hvad der ikke kan tåle Ild, skal I lade gå gennem Vand.
24 And on the seventh day, after washing your clothing, you will be clean, and then you may come into the tent-circle.
Og eders klæder skal I tvætte på den syvende Dag, så bliver I rene og kan gå ind i Lejren."
25 And the Lord said to Moses,
Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
26 Get an account of everything which was taken in the war, of man and of beast, you and Eleazar the priest and the heads of families of the people:
"Sammen med Præsten Eleazar og Overhovederne for Menighedens Fædrenehuse skal du opgøre det samlede Bytte, der er taget, både Mennesker og Dyr.
27 And let division be made of it into two parts, one for the men of war who went out to the fight, and one for all the people:
Derefter skal du dele Byttet i to lige store Dele mellem dem, der har taget Del i Krigen og været i Kamp, og hele den øvrige Menighed.
28 And from the men of war who went out let there be offered to the Lord one out of every five hundred, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep:
Derpå skal du udtage en Afgift til HERREN fra krigerne, der har været i Kamp, et Stykke af hver fem Hundrede, både af Mennesker, Hornkvæg, Æsler og Småkvæg;
29 Take this from their part and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to be lifted up to the Lord.
det skal du tage af den Halvdel, som tilfalder dem, og give Præsten Eleazar det som Offerydelse til HERREN.
30 And from the part given to the children of Israel, take one out of every fifty, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep, and give it to the Levites who have the care of the House of the Lord.
Men af den Halvdel, der tilfalder de andre Israelitter, skal du tage et Stykke af hver halvtredsindstyve, både af Mennesker, Hornkvæg, Æsler og Småkvæg, alt Kvæget, og give det til Leviterne, som tager Vare på, hvad der er at varetage ved HERRENs Bolig!"
31 So Eleazar and Moses did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.
Da gjorde Moses og Præsten Eleazar, som HERREN havde pålagt Moses.
32 Now the beasts taken, in addition to what the fighting-men took for themselves, were six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,
Og det, de havde taget, det tiloversblevne af Byttet, som Krigsfolket havde gjort, udgjorde 675000 Stykker Småkvæg,
33 And seventy-two thousand oxen,
72 000 Stykker Hornkvæg,
34 And sixty-one thousand asses;
61 000 Æsler
35 And thirty-two thousand persons, that is, women who had never had sex relations with a man.
og 32008 Mennesker, Kvinder, der ikke havde haft Samleje med Mænd.
36 And the half given as their part to the men who went to the war, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,
Den Halvdel, der tilfaldt dem, der havde været i Kamp, udgjorde altså et Tal af 337500 Stykker Småkvæg,
37 Of which the Lord's part was six hundred and seventy-five.
hvoraf Afgiften til HERREN udgjorde 675 Stykker Småkvæg,
38 The number of oxen was thirty-six thousand, of which the Lord's part was seventy-two;
36000 Stykker Hornkvæg, hvoraf 72 i Afgift til HERREN,
39 The number of asses was thirty thousand, five hundred, of which the Lord's part was sixty-one.
30500 Æsler, hvoraf til i Afgift til HERREN,
40 And the number of persons was sixteen thousand, of which the Lord's part was thirty-two persons.
og 16000 Mennesker, hvoraf 32 i Afgift til HERREN.
41 And Moses gave the Lord's part, lifted up as an offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.
Og Moses overgav Afgiften, HERRENs Offerydelse, til Præsten Eleazar, som HERREN havde pålagt Moses.
42 And from the half given to the children of Israel, which Moses had kept separate from that given to the fighting-men,
Og af den Halvdel, som tilfaldt de andre Israelitter, og som Moses havde taget som deres del fra de Mænd, der havde været i Kamp
43 (Now the people's half was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,
denne Menighedens Halvdel udgjorde 337 500 Stykker Småkvæg,
44 And thirty-six thousand oxen,
36 000 Stykker Hornkvæg,
45 And thirty thousand, five hundred asses,
30 500 Æsler
46 And sixteen thousand persons; )
og 16000 Mennesker
47 Even from the children of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, men and beasts, and gave them to the Levites who had the care of the House of the Lord; as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
af den Halvdel, som tilfaldt de andre Israelitter, udtog Moses et Stykke for hver halvtredsindstyve, både af Mennesker og Kvæg, og gav dem til Leviterne, som tog Vare på, hvad der var at varetage ved HERRENs Bolig, som HERREN havde pålagt Moses.
48 Then the men in authority over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came to Moses,
Da trådte Førerne for Hærens Afdelinger, Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne, hen til Moses
49 And said to him, Your servants have taken note of the number of all the fighting-men under our orders, and every one is present;
og sagde til ham: "Dine Trælle har holdt Mandtal over de krigere, der stod under os; og der manglede ikke en eneste af os;
50 And we have here an offering for the Lord from what every man took in the war, ornaments of gold, leg-chains and arm-rings, finger-rings, ear-rings, and neck-ornaments, to make our souls free from sin before the Lord.
derfor frembærer nu enhver af os som Offergave til HERREN, hvad han har taget af Guldsmykker, Armbånd, Spange, Fingerringe, Ørenringe og Halssmykker, for at skaffe os Soning for HERRENs Åsyn."
51 So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even all the worked ornaments.
Moses og Præsten Eleazar modtog Guldet af dem, alskens med Kunst virkede Smykker;
52 And the gold which the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds gave, as an offering to be lifted up before the Lord, came to sixteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty shekels.
og alt Offerydelsesguldet, som de ydede HERREN, udgjorde 16750 Sekel, hvilket Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne bragte som Gave.
53 (For every man of the army had taken goods for himself in the war.)
Krigerne havde taget Bytte hver for sig.
54 Then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold given by the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and took it into the Tent of meeting, to be a sign in memory of the children of Israel before the Lord.
Så modtog Moses og Præsten Eleazar Guldet af Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne og bragte det ind i Åbenbaringsteltet, for at det skulde bringe Israelitterne i Minde for HERRENs Åsyn.
