Numbers 31
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
2 Avenge the children of Israel upon the Midianites; afterwards shalt thou be gathered unto thy peoples.
"Skaf Israelitterne Hævn over Midjaniterne; så skal du samles til din Slægt!"
3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm from amongst you men for military service, that they go against Midian to execute Jehovah's vengeance upon Midian.
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 Of every tribe a thousand, of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
1000 Mand af hver af Israels Stammer skal I sende i Kamp!"
5 And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand by tribe, twelve thousand 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 to the war, a thousand by the tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, and the holy instruments, even the alarm-trumpets in his hand.
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 warred against Midian, as Jehovah had commanded Moses, and slew all the males.
De drog så ud i kamp mod Midjaniterne, som HERREN havde pålagt Moses, og dræbte alle af Mandkøn;
8 And they slew the kings of Midian, besides the others slain, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian; and Balaam the son of Beor they slew 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 And the children of Israel took the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took for a spoil all their cattle and all their flocks and all their goods;
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 all their cities in their settlements and all their encampments they burned with fire.
og alle deres Byer på de beboede Steder og alle deres Teltlejre stak de Ild på.
11 And they took all the booty, and all the prey, of man and of cattle;
Og alt det røvede og hele Byttet, både Mennesker og Dyr, tog de med sig,
12 and they brought to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the assembly of the children of Israel, the captives and the prey and the booty, to the camp in the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan of 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 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the assembly went forth to meet them outside the camp.
Men Moses, Præsten Eleazar og alle Menighedens Øverste gik dem i Møde uden for Lejren,
14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the army, with the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war;
og Moses blev vred på Hærens Førere, Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne, som kom tilbage fra Krigstoget.
15 and Moses said to them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
Og Moses sagde til dem: "Har I ladet alle Kvinder i Live?
16 Lo, these, through the counsel of Balaam, caused the children of Israel to commit sin against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague on the assembly of Jehovah.
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 And now slay every male among the little ones, and slay every woman that hath known man by lying with him,
Dræb derfor alle Drengebørn og alle kvinder, der har kendt Mand og haft Samleje med Mænd;
18 but all the children among the women that have not known lying with a man, keep alive for yourselves.
men alle Piger, der ikke har haft Samleje med Mænd, skal I lade i Live og beholde,
19 And encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever hath killed a person, and whoever hath touched any slain; ye shall purify yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day, you and your captives.
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 garment, and every vessel of skin, and all work of goat's hair, and every utensil of wood shall ye purify.
Og enhver Klædning, enhver Læder ting, alt, hvad der er lavet af Gedehår, og alle Træredskaber skal I rense!"
21 And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war that had gone to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Og Præsten Eleazar sagde til Krigerne, der havde været med i Kampen: "Dette er det Lovbud, HERREN har givet Moses:
22 Only the gold, and the silver, the copper, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Kun Guld, Sølv, kobber, Jern, Tin og Bly,
23 everything that passeth through the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean; only it shall be purified with the water of separation; and everything that cannot pass through the fire ye shall make go through 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 ye shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterwards ye may come into the camp.
Og eders klæder skal I tvætte på den syvende Dag, så bliver I rene og kan gå ind i Lejren."
25 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, of man and of cattle, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the assembly;
"Sammen med Præsten Eleazar og Overhovederne for Menighedens Fædrenehuse skal du opgøre det samlede Bytte, der er taget, både Mennesker og Dyr.
27 and divide the prey into halves, between them that conducted the war, who went out to the battle, and the whole assembly.
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 thou shalt levy a tribute for Jehovah of the men of war who went out to the army, one soul of five hundred of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the small cattle.
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 Of their half shall ye take it, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for a heave-offering of Jehovah.
det skal du tage af den Halvdel, som tilfalder dem, og give Præsten Eleazar det som Offerydelse til HERREN.
30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the small cattle, of every [kind of] beasts, and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.
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 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Da gjorde Moses og Præsten Eleazar, som HERREN havde pålagt Moses.
32 And the prey, the rest of the spoil, which the men of war had taken, was 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 of human persons, of the women that had not known lying with a man, all the persons were thirty-two thousand.
og 32008 Mennesker, Kvinder, der ikke havde haft Samleje med Mænd.
36 And the half, the portion of them that had gone out to the war, was in number 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 and the tribute for Jehovah of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five;
hvoraf Afgiften til HERREN udgjorde 675 Stykker Småkvæg,
38 and the oxen were thirty-six thousand, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, seventy-two;
36000 Stykker Hornkvæg, hvoraf 72 i Afgift til HERREN,
39 and the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, sixty-one;
30500 Æsler, hvoraf til i Afgift til HERREN,
40 and the human persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the tribute for Jehovah was thirty-two persons.
og 16000 Mennesker, hvoraf 32 i Afgift til HERREN.
41 And Moses gave the tribute of Jehovah's heave-offering to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Og Moses overgav Afgiften, HERRENs Offerydelse, til Præsten Eleazar, som HERREN havde pålagt Moses.
42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses had divided, [taking it] from the men that served in the war,
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 half belonging to the assembly was of the sheep, three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred,
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 human persons, )
og 16000 Mennesker
47 ...of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, of man and of cattle, and gave them to the Levites who kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded 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 And the officers who were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses,
Da trådte Førerne for Hærens Afdelinger, Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne, hen til Moses
49 and they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who were under our hand, and there is not one man of us lacking.
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 So we present the offering of Jehovah, that which each one hath found, jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before Jehovah.
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 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, all manner of wrought jewels.
Moses og Præsten Eleazar modtog Guldet af dem, alskens med Kunst virkede Smykker;
52 And all the gold of the heave-offering that they offered to Jehovah was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds.
og alt Offerydelsesguldet, som de ydede HERREN, udgjorde 16750 Sekel, hvilket Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne bragte som Gave.
53 (The men of war had taken spoil each one for himself.)
Krigerne havde taget Bytte hver for sig.
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah.
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.
