Numbers 8
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
2 Speake vnto Aaron, and say vnto him, When thou lightest the lampes, the seuen lampes shall giue light towarde the forefront of the Candlesticke.
Tal til Aron og sig til ham: Naar du sætter Lamperne paa, skal du sætte dem saaledes, at de syv Lamper kaster Lyset ud over Pladsen foran Lysestagen!
3 And Aaron did so, lighting the lampes thereof towarde ye forefront of the Candlesticke, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Det gjorde Aron saa; han satte Lamperne paa saaledes, at de vendte ud mod Pladsen foran Lysestagen, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.
4 And this was the worke of the Candlesticke, euen of golde beaten out with the hammer, both the shafte, and the flowres thereof was beaten out with the hammer: according to the paterne, which the Lord had shewed Moses, so made he the Candlesticke.
Men Lysestagen var lavet af Guld i drevet Arbejde, fra Foden til Kronerne var den drevet Arbejde; efter det Forbillede, HERREN havde vist ham, havde Moses lavet Lysestagen.
5 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
6 Take the Leuites from among the children of Israel, and purifie them.
Udtag Leviterne af Israeliternes Midte og rens dem!
7 And thus shalt thou doe vnto them, when thou purifiest them, Sprinckle water of purification vpon them, and let them shaue all their flesh, and wash their clothes: so they shalbe cleane.
Saaledes skal du gaa frem, naar du renser dem: Stænk Renselsesvand paa dem og lad dem gaa hele deres Legeme over med Ragekniv, tvætte deres klæder og rense sig.
8 Then they shall take a yong bullocke with his meate offring of fine floure, mingled with oyle, and another yong bullocke shalt thou take for a sinne offring.
Derpaa skal de tage en ung Tyr til Brændoffer med tilhørende Afgrødeoffer af fint Hvedemel, rørt i Olie, og du skal tage en anden ung Tyr til Syndoffer.
9 Then thou shalt bring the Leuites before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and asseble all the Congregation of the children of Israel.
Lad saa Leviterne træde hen foran Aabenbaringsteltet og kald hele Israeliternes Menighed sammen.
10 Thou shalt bring the Leuites also before the Lord, and the children of Israel shall put their handes vpon the Leuites.
Naar du saa har ladet Leviterne træde frem for HERRENS Aasyn, skal Israeliterne lægge deres Hænder paa Leviterne.
11 And Aaron shall offer the Leuites before the Lord, as a shake offring of ye childre of Israel, that they may execute the seruice of the Lord.
Derpaa skal Aron udføre Svingningen med Leviterne for HERRENS Aasyn som et Offer fra Israeliterne, for at de kan udføre HERRENS Arbejde.
12 And the Leuites shall put their handes vpon the heades of the bullockes, and make thou the one a sinne offring, and the other a burnt offring vnto the Lord, that thou mayest make an atonement for the Leuites.
Saa skal Leviterne lægge deres Hænder paa Tyrenes Hoved, og derefter skal du ofre den ene som Syndoffer og den anden som Brændoffer til HERREN for at skaffe Leviterne Soning.
13 And thou shalt set the Leuites before Aaron and before his sonnes, and offer the as a shake offring to the Lord.
Derpaa skal du stille Leviterne frem for Aron og hans Sønner og udføre Svingningen med dem for HERREN.
14 Thus thou shalt separate the Leuites from among the children of Israel, and the Leuites shall be mine.
Saaledes skal du udskille Leviterne fra Israeliterne, saa at Leviterne kommer til at tilhøre mig.
15 And afterwarde shall the Leuites goe in, to serue in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and thou shalt purifie them and offer them, as a shake offering.
Derefter skal Leviterne komme og gøre Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet; du skal foretage Renselsen og udføre Svingningen med dem,
16 For they are freely giuen vnto me from among the children of Israel, for such as open any wombe: for all the first borne of the children of Israel haue I taken them vnto me.
thi de er skænket mig som Gave af Israeliternes Midte; i Stedet for alt hvad der aabner Moders Liv, alle førstefødte hos Israeliterne, har jeg taget mig dem til Ejendom.
17 For all the first borne of the children of Israel are mine, both of man and of beast: since the day that I smote euery first borne in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for my selfe.
Thi mig tilhører alt det førstefødte hos Israeliterne, baade af Mennesker og Kvæg. Dengang jeg slog alle de førstefødte i Ægypten, helligede jeg dem til at være min Ejendom.
18 And I haue taken the Leuites for all the first borne of the children of Israel,
Jeg tog Leviterne i Stedet for alt det førstefødte hos Israeliterne
19 And haue giuen the Leuites as a gift vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes from among the children of Israel, to do the seruice of the children of Israel in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel, that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come neere vnto the Sanctuarie.
og skænkede Leviterne som Gave til Aron og hans Sønner af Israeliternes Midte til at udføre Israeliternes Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet og skaffe Israeliterne Soning, for at ingen Plage skal ramme Israeliterne, om de selv nærmer sig Helligdommen.
20 Then Moses and Aaron and all the Cogregation of the children of Israel did with the Leuites, according vnto all that the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Leuites: so did the children of Israel vnto them.
Og Moses, Aron og hele Israeliternes Menighed gjorde saaledes med Leviterne; ganske som HERREN havde paalagt Moses med Hensyn til Leviterne, gjorde Israeliterne med dem.
21 So the Leuites were purified, and washed their clothes, and Aaron offred them as a shake offring before the Lord, and Aaron made an atonement for them, to purifie them.
Leviterne lod sig rense for Synd og tvættede deres Klæder, og Aron udførte Svingningen med dem for HERRENS Aasyn, og Aron skaffede dem Soning, saa de blev rene.
22 And after that, went the Leuites in to doe their seruice in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before Aaron and before his sonnes: as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Leuites, so they did vnto them.
Derpaa kom Leviterne for at udføre deres Arbejde ved Aabenbaringsteltet under Arons og hans Sønners Tilsyn; som HERREN havde paalagt Moses med Hensyn til Leviterne, saaledes gjorde de med dem.
23 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
24 This also belongeth to the Leuites: from fiue and twentie yeere olde and vpwarde, they shall goe in, to execute their office in the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
Dette er, hvad der gælder Leviterne: Fra Femogtyveaarsalderen og opefter skal de komme og gøre Tjeneste med Arbejdet ved Aabenbaringsteltet.
25 And after the age of fiftie yeere, they shall cease from executing the office, and shall serue no more:
Men fra Halvtredsaarsalderen skal de holde op med at gøre Tjeneste og ikke arbejde mere;
26 But they shall minister with their brethre in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to keepe things committed to their charge, but they shall doe no seruice: thus shalt thou doe vnto the Leuites touching their charges.
de kan gaa deres Brødre til Haande i Aabenbaringsteltet med at tage Vare paa, hvad der skal varetages; men Arbejde skal de ikke mere gøre. Saaledes skal du gøre med Leviterne i alt, hvad de har at varetage.
