Numbers 31
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
2 “Execute the vengeance of the sons of Israel against the Midianites—afterward you are gathered to your people.”
»Skaf Israeliterne Hævn over Midjaniterne; saa skal du samles til din Slægt!«
3 And Moses speaks to the people, saying, “Arm men from [among] you for the war, and they are against Midian, to put the vengeance of YHWH on 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 paa Midjan;
4 one thousand for a tribe—you send one thousand for a tribe, of all the tribes of Israel, to the war.”
1000 Mand af hver af Israels Stammer skal I sende i Kamp!«
5 And there are given out of the thousands of Israel one thousand for a tribe—twelve thousand armed ones [for] war;
Af Israels Tusinder udtoges da 1000 af hver Stamme, i alt 12 000 Mand, rustede til Kamp.
6 and Moses sends them, one thousand for a tribe, to the war; [he sent] them and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest to the war, with the holy vessels and the trumpets of shouting 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 war against Midian, as YHWH has commanded Moses, and slay every male;
De drog saa ud i Kamp mod Midjaniterne, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses, og dræbte alle af Mandkøn;
8 and they have slain the kings of Midian besides their pierced ones: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba—five kings of Midian; and they have slain Balaam son of Beor with the sword.
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 the sons of Israel take the women of Midian and their infants captive; and they have plundered all their livestock, and all their substance, and all their wealth;
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 have burned all their cities, with their habitations, and all their towers, with fire.
og alle deres Byer paa de beboede Steder og alle deres Teltlejre stak de Ild paa.
11 And they take all the spoil and all the prey, among man and among beast;
Og alt det røvede og hele Byttet, baade Mennesker og Dyr, tog de med sig,
12 and they bring in the captives, and the prey, and the spoil to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp, to the plains of Moab, which [are] by the Jordan, [near] 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 princes of the congregation, go out to meet them, to the outside of the camp,
Men Moses, Præsten Eleazar og alle Menighedens Øverste gik dem i Møde uden for Lejren,
14 and Moses is angry against the inspectors of the force, chiefs of the thousands, and chiefs of the hundreds, who are coming in from the warfare of battle.
og Moses blev vred paa Hærens Førere, Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne, som kom tilbage fra Krigstoget.
15 And Moses says to them, “Have you kept every female alive?
Og Moses sagde til dem: »Har I ladet alle Kvinder i Live?
16 Behold, they have been to the sons of Israel, through the word of Balaam, to cause a trespass against YHWH in the matter of Peor, and the plague is in the congregation of YHWH.
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 And now, slay every male among the infants, indeed, slay every woman knowing a man by the lying of a male;
Dræb derfor alle Drengebørn og alle Kvinder, der har kendt Mand og haft Samleje med Mænd;
18 and all the infants among the women who have not known the lying of a male you have kept alive for yourselves.
men alle Piger, der ikke har haft Samleje med Mænd, skal I lade i Live og beholde,
19 And you, encamp at the outside of the camp [for] seven days; any who has slain a person, and any who has come against a pierced one, cleanse 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 paa den tredje og den syvende Dag, baade I selv og eders Krigsfanger.
20 and every garment, and every skin vessel, and every work of goats’ [hair], and every wooden vessel, you yourselves cleanse.”
Og enhver Klædning, enhver Læderting, alt, hvad der er lavet af Gedehaar, og alle Træredskaber skal I rense!«
21 And Eleazar the priest says to the men of war who go to battle, “This [is] the statute of the law which YHWH has 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 bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Kun Guld, Sølv, Kobber, Jern, Tin og Bly,
23 everything which may go into fire, you cause to pass over through fire, and it has been clean; it is surely cleansed with the water of separation; and all that may not go into fire, you cause to pass over 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 you have washed your garments on the seventh day and have been clean, and afterward you 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 YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Og HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
26 “Take up the sum of the prey of the captives, among man and among beast, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers 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 have halved the prey between those handling the battle, who go out to the war, and all the 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 have raised a tribute to YHWH from the men of battle, who go out to the war, one body out of five hundred, of man, and of the herd, and of the donkeys, and of the flock;
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 you take from their half and have given [it] to Eleazar the priest [as] a raised-offering of YHWH.
det skal du tage af den Halvdel, som tilfalder dem, og give Præsten Eleazar det som Offerydelse til HERREN.
30 And from the sons of Israel’s half you take one possession out of fifty, of man, of the herd, of the donkeys, and of the flock, of all the livestock, and you have given them to the Levites keeping the charge of the Dwelling Place of YHWH.”
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 does—Eleazar the priest also—as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Da gjorde Moses og Præsten Eleazar, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.
32 And the prey, the remainder of the spoil which the people of the host have spoiled, is six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand of the flock;
Og det, de havde taget, det tiloversblevne af Byttet, som Krigsfolket havde gjort, udgjorde 675 000 Stykker Smaakvæg,
33 and seventy-two thousand of the herd;
72 000 Stykker Hornkvæg,
34 and sixty-one thousand donkeys;
61 000 Æsler
35 and of mankind—of the women who have not known the lying of a male—all the persons [are] thirty-two thousand.
og 32 000 Mennesker, Kvinder, der ikke havde haft Samleje med Mænd.
36 And the half, the portion of those who go out into the war, is [in] number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred of the flock.
Den Halvdel, der tilfaldt dem, der havde været i Kamp, udgjorde altsaa et Tal af 337 500 Stykker Smaakvæg,
37 And the tribute to YHWH of the sheep is six hundred seventy-five;
hvoraf Afgiften til HERREN udgjorde 675 Stykker Smaakvæg,
38 and the herd [is] thirty-six thousand, and their tribute to YHWH [is] seventy-two;
36 000 Stykker Hornkvæg, hvoraf 72 i Afgift til HERREN,
39 and the donkeys [are] thirty thousand and five hundred, and their tribute to YHWH [is] sixty-one;
30 500 Æsler, hvoraf til i Afgift til HERREN,
40 and of mankind [are] sixteen thousand, and their tribute to YHWH [is] thirty-two persons.
og 16 000 Mennesker, hvoraf 32 i Afgift til HERREN.
41 And Moses gives the tribute—YHWH’s raised-offering—to Eleazar the priest, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Og Moses overgav Afgiften, HERRENS Offerydelse, til Præsten Eleazar, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses.
42 And of the sons of Israel’s half, which Moses halved from the men who 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 congregation’s half is three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five hundred of the flock;
denne Menighedens Halvdel udgjorde 337 500 Stykker Smaakvæg,
44 and thirty-six thousand of the herd;
36 000 Stykker Hornkvæg,
45 and thirty thousand and five hundred donkeys;
30 500 Æsler
46 and sixteen thousand of mankind—
og 16 000 Mennesker —
47 Moses takes from the sons of Israel’s half one possession from the fifty, of man and of beast, and gives them to the Levites keeping the charge of the Dwelling Place of YHWH, as YHWH has 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 the inspectors whom the thousands of the host have (heads of the thousands and heads of the hundreds), draw near to Moses,
Da traadte Førerne for Hærens Afdelinger, Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne, hen til Moses
49 and they say to Moses, “Your servants have taken up the sum of the men of war who [are] with us, and not a man of us has been missed;
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 bring YHWH’s offering near, each of that which he has found of vessels of gold—chain, and bracelet, seal-ring, [ear]-ring, and bead—to make atonement for ourselves before YHWH.”
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 receives—Eleazar the priest also—the gold from them, every vessel of workmanship;
Moses og Præsten Eleazar modtog Guldet af dem, alskens med Kunst virkede Smykker;
52 and all the gold of the raised-offering which they have lifted up to YHWH is sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from heads of the thousands and from heads of the hundreds;
og alt Offerydelsesguldet, som de ydede HERREN, udgjorde 16 750 Sekel, hvilket Tusindførerne og Hundredførerne bragte som Gave.
53 (the men of the host have each taken spoil for himself);
Krigerne havde taget Bytte hver for sig.
54 and Moses takes—Eleazar the priest also—the gold from the heads of the thousands and of the hundreds, and they bring it into the Tent of Meeting [as] a memorial for the sons of Israel before YHWH.
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.
