Numbers 9

1 The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

HERREN talede således til Moses i Sinaj Ørken i den første Måned af det andet År efter deres Udvandring fra Ægypten:

2 "Moreover let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season.

Israeliterne skal fejre Påsken til den fastsatte Tid,

3 On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season—according to all its statutes, and according to all its ordinances, you shall keep it."

på den fjortende Dag i denne Måned ved Aftenstid skal I fejre den til den fastsatte Tid; overensstemmende med alle Anordningerne og Lovbudene om den skal I fejre den!

4 Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the Passover.

Da sagde Moses til Israeliterne, at de skulde fejre Påsken;

5 They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.

og de fejrede Påsken i Sinaj Ørken den fjortende Dag i den første Måned ved Aftenstid; nøjagtigt som HERREN havde pålagt Moses, således gjorde Israeliterne.

6 There were certain men, who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.

Men der var nogle Mænd, som var blevet urene ved et Lig og derfor ikke kunde fejre Påske den Dag. Disse Mænd trådte nu den Dag frem for Moses og Aron

7 Those men said to him, "We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season among the children of Israel?"

og sagde til ham: "Vi er blevet urene ved et Lig; hvorfor skal det da være os forment at frembære HERRENs Offergave til den fastsatte Tid sammen med de andre Israelitter?"

8 Moses answered them, "Wait, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you."

Moses svarede dem: "Vent, til jeg får at høre, hvad HERREN påbyder angående eder!"

9 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Da talede HERREN til Moses og sagde:

10 "Say to the children of Israel, 'If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to the LORD.

Tal til Israeliterne og sig: Når nogen af eder eller eders Efterkommere er blevet uren ved et Lig eller er ude på en lang Rejse, skal han alligevel holde Påske for HERREN;

11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

den fjortende Dag i den anden Måned ved Aftenstid skal de holde den; med usyret Brød og bitre Urter skal de spise Påskelammet.

12 They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it.

De må intet levne deraf til næste Morgen, og de må ikke sønderbryde noget af dets Ben. De skal fejre Påsken i Overensstemmelse med alle de Anordninger, som gælder for den.

13 But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he did not offer the offering of the LORD in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

Men den, som undlader at fejre Påsken, skønt han er ren og ikke på Rejse, det Menneske skal udryddes af sin Slægt, fordi han ikke har frembåret HERRENs Offergave til den fastsatte Tid. Den Mand skal undgælde for sin Synd.

14 If a foreigner lives among you, and desires to keep the Passover to the LORD; according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance, so shall he do. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner, and for him who is born in the land.'"

Og når en fremmed, der bor hos eder, vil bolde Påske for HERREN, skal han holde den efter de Anordninger og Lovbud, som gælder for Påsken. En og samme Lov skal gælde for eder, for den fremmede og for den indfødte.

15 On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony: and at evening it was over the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.

Den Dag Boligen blev rejst, dækkede Skyen Boligen, Vidnesbyrdets Telt; men om Aftenen var der som et Ildskær over Boligen, og det holdt sig til om Morgenen.

16 So it was continually. The cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.

Således var det til Stadighed: Om dagen dækkede Skyen den, om Natten Ildskæret.

17 Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel camped.

Hver Gang Skyen løftede sig fra Teltet, brød Israeliterne op, og der, hvor Skyen stod stille, slog Israeliterne Lejr.

18 At the commandment of the LORD, the children of Israel traveled, and at the commandment of the LORD they camped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained camped.

På HERRENs Bud brød Israeliterne op, og på HERRENs Bud gik de i Lejr, og så længe Skyen hvilede over Boligen, blev de liggende i Lejr;

19 When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the command of God, and did not travel.

når Skyen blev over Boligen i længere Tid, rettede Israeliterne sig efter, hvad HERREN havde foreskrevet dem, og brød ikke op.

20 Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of the LORD they remained camped, and according to the commandment of the LORD they traveled.

Det hændte, at Skyen kun blev nogle få Dage over Boligen; da gik de i Lejr på HERRENs Bud og brød op på HERRENs Bud.

21 Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled: or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled.

Og det hændte, at Skyen kun blev der fra Aften til Morgen; når Skyen da løftede sig om Morgenen, brød de op. Eller den blev der en Dag og en Nat; når Skyen da løftede sig, brød de op.

22 Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained camped, and did not travel; but when it was taken up, they traveled.

Eller den blev der et Par Dage eller en Måned eller længere endnu, idet Skyen i længere Tid hvilede over Boligen; så blev Israeliterne liggende i Lejr og brød ikke op, men når den løftede sig, brød de op.

23 At the commandment of the LORD they camped, and at the commandment of the LORD they traveled. They kept the LORD's command, at the commandment of the LORD by Moses.

På HERRENs Bud gik de i Lejr, og på HERRENs Bud brød de op; de rettede sig efter, hvad HERREN havde foreskrevet dem, efter HERRENs Bud ved Moses.
