Numbers 31
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
2 Avenge the wrongs of the children of Israel on the Madianites, and afterwards you shall be added to your people.
»Skaf Israeliterne Hævn over Midjaniterne; saa skal du samles til din Slægt!«
3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of you, and set yourselves in array before the Lord against Madian, to inflict vengeance on Madian from the Lord.
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 paa Midjan;
4 Send a thousand of each tribe from all the tribes of the children of Israel to set themselves in array.
1000 Mand af hver af Israels Stammer skal I sende i Kamp!«
5 And they numbered of the thousands of Israel a thousand of [each] tribe, twelve thousands; [these were] 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 away a thousand of every tribe with their forces, and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: and the holy instruments, and the signal trumpets [were] in their hands.
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 set themselves in array against Madian, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they killed every male.
De drog saa ud i Kamp mod Midjaniterne, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses, og dræbte alle af Mandkøn;
8 And they killed the kings of Madian together with their slain [subjects]; even Evi and Rocon, and Sur, and Ur, and Roboc, five kings of Madian; and they killed with the sword Balaam the son of Beor with their [other] slain.
og foruden de andre, der blev slaaet ihjel, dræbte de ogsaa Midjans Konger, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur og Reba, Midjans fem Konger; ogsaa Bileam, Beors Søn, dræbte de med Sværdet.
9 And they made a prey of the women of Madian, and their store, and their cattle, and all their possessions: and they spoiled their forces.
Og Israeliterne 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 they burnt with fire all their cities in the places of their habitation and they burnt their villages with fire.
og alle deres Byer paa de beboede Steder og alle deres Teltlejre stak de Ild paa.
11 And they took all their plunder, and all their spoils, both man and beast.
Og alt det røvede og hele Byttet, baade Mennesker og Dyr, tog de med sig,
12 And they brought to Moses and to Eleazar the priest, and to all the children of Israel, the captives, and the spoils, and the plunder, to the camp to Araboth Moab, which is at Jordan by Jericho.
og de bragte Fangerne, Byttet og det røvede til Moses og Præsten Eleazar og Israeliternes Menighed i Lejren paa Moabs Sletter ved Jordan over for Jeriko.
13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the rulers of the synagogue went forth out of the camp to meet them.
Men Moses, Præsten Eleazar og alle Menighedens Øverste gik dem i Møde uden for Lejren,
14 And Moses was angry with the captains of the host, the heads of thousands and the heads of hundreds who came from the battle-array.
og Moses blev vred paa Hærens Førere, Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne, som kom tilbage fra Krigstoget.
15 And Moses said to them, Why have you saved every female alive?
Og Moses sagde til dem: »Har I ladet alle Kvinder i Live?
16 For they were [the occasion] to the children of Israel by the word of Balaam of their revolting and despising the word of the Lord, because of Phogor; and there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord.
Det var jo dem, der efter Bileams Raad blev Aarsag til, at Israeliterne var troløse mod HERREN i den Sag med Peor, saa at Plagen ramte HERRENS Menighed.
17 Now then kill every male in all the spoil, kill every woman, who has known the lying with man.
Dræb derfor alle Drengebørn og alle Kvinder, der har kendt Mand og haft Samleje med Mænd;
18 And as for all the captivity of women, who have not known the lying with man, save you them alive.
men alle Piger, der ikke har haft Samleje med Mænd, skal I lade i Live og beholde,
19 And you shall encamp outside the [great] camp seven days; every one who has slain and who touches a dead body, shall be purified on the third day, and you and your captivity [shall purify yourselves] on the seventh day.
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 paa den tredje og den syvende Dag, baade I selv og eders Krigsfanger.
20 And you shall purify every garment and every leather utensil, and all furniture of goat skin, and every wooden vessel.
Og enhver Klædning, enhver Læderting, alt, hvad der er lavet af Gedehaar, og alle Træredskaber skal I rense!«
21 And Eleazar the priest said to the men of the host that came from the battle-array, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded Moses.
Og Præsten Eleazar sagde til Krigerne, der havde været med i Kampen: »Dette er det Lovbud, HERREN har givet Moses:
22 Beside the gold, and the silver, and the brass, and the iron, and lead, and tin,
Kun Guld, Sølv, Kobber, Jern, Tin og Bly,
23 every thing that shall pass through the fire shall so be clean, nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sanctification; and whatever will not pass through the fire shall pass through water.
alt, hvad der kan taale Ild, skal I lade gaa gennem Ild, saa bliver det rent; dog maa det renses med Renselsesvand. Men alt, hvad der ikke kan taale Ild, skal I lade gaa gennem Vand.
24 And on the seventh day you shall wash your garments, and be clean; and afterwards you shall come into the camp.
Og eders klæder skal I tvætte paa den syvende Dag, saa bliver I rene og kan gaa ind i Lejren.«
25 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
26 Take the sum of the spoils of the captivity both of man and beast, you and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the families of the congregation.
»Sammen med Præsten Eleazar og Overhovederne for Menighedens Fædrenehuse skal du opgøre det samlede Bytte, der er taget, baade Mennesker og Dyr.
27 And you shall divide the spoils between the warriors that went out to battle, and the whole congregation.
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 you shall take a tribute for the Lord from the warriors that went out to battle; one soul out of five hundred, from the men, and from the cattle, even from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses; and you shall take from their half.
Derpaa skal du udtage en Afgift til HERREN fra Krigerne, der har været i Kamp, et Stykke af hver fem Hundrede, baade af Mennesker, Hornkvæg, Æsler og Smaakvæg;
29 And you shall give [them] to Eleazar the priest [as] the first fruits of 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 half belonging to the children of Israel you shall take one in fifty from the men, and from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses, and from all the cattle; and you shall give them to the Levites that keep the charges in the tabernacle of the Lord.
Men af den Halvdel, der tilfalder de andre Israeliter, skal du tage et Stykke af hver halvtredsindstyve, baade af Mennesker, Hornkvæg, Æsler og Smaakvæg, alt Kvæget, og give det til Leviterne, som tager Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved HERRENS Bolig!«
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
Da gjorde Moses og Præsten Eleazar, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.
32 And that which remained of the spoil which the warriors took, was—of the sheep, six hundred and seventy-five thousand:
Og det, de havde taget, det tiloversblevne af Byttet, som Krigsfolket havde gjort, udgjorde 675 000 Stykker Smaakvæg,
33 and oxen, seventy-two thousand:
72 000 Stykker Hornkvæg,
34 and asses, sixty-one thousand.
61 000 Æsler
35 And persons of women who had not known lying with man, all the souls, thirty-two thousand.
og 32 000 Mennesker, Kvinder, der ikke havde haft Samleje med Mænd.
36 And the half, [even] the portion of them that went out to war, from the number of the sheep, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.
Den Halvdel, der tilfaldt dem, der havde været i Kamp, udgjorde altsaa et Tal af 337 500 Stykker Smaakvæg,
37 And the tribute to the Lord from the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five.
hvoraf Afgiften til HERREN udgjorde 675 Stykker Smaakvæg,
38 And the oxen, six and thirty thousand, and the tribute to the Lord seventy-two.
36 000 Stykker Hornkvæg, hvoraf 72 i Afgift til HERREN,
39 And asses, thirty thousand and five hundred, and the tribute to the Lord, sixty-one:
30 500 Æsler, hvoraf til i Afgift til HERREN,
40 and the persons, sixteen thousand, and the tribute of them to the Lord, thirty-two souls.
og 16 000 Mennesker, hvoraf 32 i Afgift til HERREN.
41 And Moses gave the tribute to the Lord, the heave-offering of God, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses;
Og Moses overgav Afgiften, HERRENS Offerydelse, til Præsten Eleazar, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.
42 from the half belonging to the children of Israel, whom Moses separated from the men of war.
Og af den Halvdel, som tilfaldt de andre Israeliter, og som Moses havde taget som deres del fra de Mænd, der havde været i Kamp —
43 And the half [taken] from the sheep, belonging to the congregation, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.
denne Menighedens Halvdel udgjorde 337 500 Stykker Smaakvæg,
44 And the oxen, thirty-six thousand;
36 000 Stykker Hornkvæg,
45 asses, thirty thousand and five hundred;
30 500 Æsler
46 and persons, sixteen thousand.
og 16 000 Mennesker —
47 And Moses took of the half belonging to the children of Israel the fifties part, of men and of cattle, and he gave them to the Levites who keep the charges of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
af den Halvdel, som tilfaldt de andre Israeliter, udtog Moses et Stykke for hver halvtredsindstyve, baade af Mennesker og Kvæg, og gav dem til Leviterne, som tog Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage ved HERRENS Bolig, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.
48 And all those who were appointed to be officers of thousands of the host, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, approached Moses, and said to Moses,
Da traadte Førerne for Hærens Afdelinger, Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne, hen til Moses
49 Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war with us, and not one is missing.
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 brought our gift to the Lord, [every] man who has found an article of gold, whether an armlet, or a chain, or a ring, or a bracelet, or a clasp for hair, to make atonement for us before the Lord.
derfor frembærer nu enhver af os som Offergave til HERREN, hvad han har taget af Guldsmykker, Armbaand, Spange, Fingerringe, Ørenringe og Halssmykker, for at skaffe os Soning for HERRENS Aasyn.«
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even every wrought article.
Moses og Præsten Eleazar modtog Guldet af dem, alskens med Kunst virkede Smykker;
52 And all the wrought gold, even the offering that they offered to the Lord, was sixteen thousand and seven hundred and fifty shekels from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds.
og alt Offerydelsesguldet, som de ydede HERREN, udgjorde 16 750 Sekel, hvilket Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne bragte som Gave.
53 For the men of war took plunder every one for himself.
Krigerne havde taget Bytte hver for sig.
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and brought the vessels into the tabernacle of witness, a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.
Saa modtog Moses og Præsten Eleazar Guldet af Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne og bragte det ind i Aabenbaringsteltet, for at det skulde bringe Israeliterne i Minde for HERRENS Aasyn.
