< Exodus 12 >

1 Now YHWH spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og Aron i Ægyptens Land og sagde:
2 "This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.
Denne Maaned skal være eder Maanedernes Begyndelse, den skal være eder den første iblandt Maanederne i Aaret.
3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, 'On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household;
Taler til al Israels Menighed og siger: Paa den tiende Dag i denne Maaned, da skulle de tage sig hver et Lam for hvert Fædrenehus, eet Lam for hvert Hus.
4 and if the household is too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls; according to what everyone can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.
Og dersom Huset ikke er talrigt nok til et Lam, da skal han og hans Nabo, som er næst ved hans Hus, tage et, efter Antallet paa Personerne; I skulle regne til et Lam, efter hvad enhver kan æde til.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male in its first year. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:
Det skal være eder et lydeløst, eet Aar gammelt Vædderlam; I skulle tage det af Faarene eller af Gederne.
6 and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.
Og det skal være hos eder i Forvaring til den fjortende Dag i denne Maaned; og de skulle slagte det, hele Israels Menigheds Forsamling, imellem de tvende Aftener.
7 They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.
Og de skulle tage af Blodet og stryge paa begge Dørstolperne og paa det øverste Dørtræ af Husene, i hvilke de æde det.
8 They shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
Og de skulle æde Kødet den samme Nat, stegt ved Ild, og med usyrede Brød til beske Urter skulle de æde det.
9 Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.
I skulle ikke æde noget deraf raat eller kogt i Vand, men stegt ved Ild, med dets Hoved, med dets Skanker og med dets Indvolde.
10 You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
Og I skulle ikke levne noget deraf til om Morgenen; men det, som levnes deraf til om Morgenen, skulle I opbrænde med Ild.
11 This is how you shall eat it: with your waist girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is YHWH's Passover.
Og saaledes skulle I æde det: Eders Lænder skulle være ombundne, eders Sko paa eders Fødder og eders Kæp i eders Haand; og I skulle æde det med Hast; det er Paaske for Herren.
12 For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. Against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am YHWH.
Thi jeg vil gaa igennem Ægyptens Land den samme Nat og slaa alle førstefødte i Ægyptens Land, baade af Mennesker og Kvæg, og jeg vil holde Dom over alle Ægypternes Guder; jeg er Herren.
13 The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be on you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.
Og Blodet skal være eder til et Tegn paa Husene, i hvilke I ere, og jeg vil se Blodet og gaa eder forbi; og der skal ingen Plage være iblandt eder til Fordærvelse, naar jeg slaar Ægyptens Land.
14 This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to YHWH: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.
Og denne Dag skal være for eder til en Ihukommelse, og den skulle I højtideligholde som Højtid for Herren; hos eders Efterkommere til en evig Skik skulle I højtideligholde den.
15 "'Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
I skulle æde usyrede Brød syv Dage, paa den første Dag skulle I holde op at bruge Surdejg i eders Huse; thi hver den, som æder syret Brød fra den første Dag indtil den syvende Dag, den Sjæl skal udryddes af Israel.
16 In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.
Og paa den første Dag skal der være for eder en hellig Sammenkaldelse, og paa den syvende Dag en hellig Sammenkaldelse; der skal ikke gøres noget Arbejde paa dem, alene det, som skal ædes af hver Person, det alene maa tilberedes for eder.
17 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your regiments out of the land of Egypt: therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
Og I skulde holde de usyrede Brøds Højtid; thi paa den selvsamme Dag udførte jeg eders Hære af Ægyptens Land; derfor skulle I holde denne Dag hos eders Efterkommere til en evig Skik.
18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.
I den første Maaned paa den fjortende Dag i Maaneden, om Aftenen skulle I æde usyrede Brød, indtil den een og tyvende Dag i Maaneden om Aftenen.
19 For seven days yeast must not be found in your houses, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that person must be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.
Syv Dage skal der ikke findes Surdejg i eders Huse; thi hver den, som æder syret Brød, den Sjæl skal udryddes af Israels Menighed, hvad enten han er fremmed eller en indfødt i Landet.
20 You must eat nothing leavened. In all your places where you live you must eat unleavened bread.'"
Intet syret skulle I æde, I skulle æde usyrede Brød i alle eders Boliger.
21 Then Moses called for all the elders of the children of Israel, and said to them, "Go and select lambs according to your clans, and kill the Passover lamb.
Da kaldte Mose ad alle de ældste af Israel og sagde til dem: Henter frem og tager eder smaat Kvæg for eders Slægter og slagter Paaskelammet.
22 And you are to take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and apply it on the top and on both sides of the doorframe with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you is to go out of the door of his house until morning.
Og I skulle tage et Knippe Isop og dyppe i Blodet, som er i Bækkenet, og stryge paa det øverste Dørtræ og paa begge Dørstolperne af Blodet, som er i Bækkenet; og ingen af eder skal gaa ud af sit Huses Dør, før om Morgenen.
23 For YHWH will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, YHWH will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.
Og Herren skal gaa igennem for at slaa Ægypterne, og han skal se Blodet paa det øverste Dørtræ og paa begge Dørstolperne, og Herren skal gaa Døren forbi og ikke tilstede Fordærveren at komme til eders Huse for at slaa.
24 And you must observe this as an ordinance for you and your children forever.
Derfor skulle I varetage dette til en Skik for dig og for dine Børn evindeligen.
25 And it shall come to pass when you enter the land which YHWH will give you, as he has promised, you must keep this ceremony.
Og det skal ske, naar I komme til Landet, som Herren skal give eder, som han har sagt, da skulle I varetage denne Tjeneste.
26 And it shall be, when your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this ceremony?'
Og det skal ske, naar eders Børn sige til eder: Hvad er dette for en Tjeneste, som I have for?
27 that you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of YHWH's Passover, because he passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.'" And the people bowed down and worshiped.
da skulle I sige: Det er Paaskeoffer for Herren, som gik Israels Børns Huse forbi i Ægypten, der han slog Ægypterne og friede vore Huse; saa bøjede Folket sig og tilbad.
28 Then the children of Israel went away and did as YHWH had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
Og Israels Børn gik hen og gjorde det; efter som Herren havde befalet Mose og Aron, saa gjorde de.
29 And it came to pass at midnight that YHWH killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the prison, and all the firstborn of livestock.
Og det skete om Midnatten, da slog Herren alle førstefødte i Ægyptens Land, fra den førstefødte for Farao, som sad paa sin Trone, indtil den førstefødte for den fangne, som var i Fængslets Hus, og alle førstefødte af Kvæget.
30 And Pharaoh got up during the night, he, and all his servants, and all Egypt, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not someone dead.
Da stod Farao op samme Nat og alle hans Tjenere og alle Ægypterne, og der blev et stort Skrig i Ægypten; thi der var ikke eet Hus, at der jo var en død deri.
31 Then he summoned for Moses and Aaron during the night, and said, "Get up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve YHWH, as you have requested.
Og han kaldte Mose og Aron om Natten og sagde: Gører eder rede, gaar ud af mit Folks Midte, baade I, saa og Israels Børn, og gaar, tjener Herren, som I have sagt.
32 Take your flocks and your herds, as you have requested, and be gone, but bless me also."
Tager baade eders Faar og eders Øksne, som I have sagt, og gaar, og I skulle ogsaa velsigne mig.
33 The Egyptians were urgent with the people to send them out of the land quickly, for they said, "We will all be dead."
Og Ægypterne trængte haardt paa Folket for hastigen at faa dem ud af Landet; thi de sagde: Vi dø alle.
34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls wrapped in their clothing on their shoulders.
Saa tog Folket sin Dejg op, før den blev syret, deres Dejgtruge, indsvøbte i deres Kapper, paa deres Skuldre.
35 Now the children of Israel did according to what Moses told them, for they had asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and articles of gold and clothing.
Og Israels Børn havde gjort efter Mose Ord og begæret af Ægypterne Sølvkar og Guldkar og Klæder.
36 And YHWH gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and they gave them whatever they wanted. And so they plundered Egypt.
Og Herren havde givet Folket Naade for Ægypternes Øjne, saa at de lode dem faa dem; og de skilte Ægypterne derved.
37 And the children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides their dependents.
Saa rejste Israels Børn fra Raamses til Sukot, henved seks Hundrede Tusinde Mænd til Fods, foruden smaa Børn.
38 And a mixed crowd also went up with them, and a huge number of livestock, both flocks and herds.
Ja og en stor Hob af alle Haande Folk drog op med dem, og Faar og Øksne, ja saare meget Kvæg.
39 And they baked unleavened loaves using the dough that they had brought out of Egypt; for it wasn't leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and couldn't wait, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.
Og de bagte af den Dejg, som de førte fra Ægypten, usyrede Kager, thi den var ikke syret; fordi de vare uddrevne af Ægypten og kunde ikke tøve og havde end ikke beredt sig Tæring.
40 Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
Og Israels Børn havde boet udi Ægypten i fire Hundrede Aar og tredive Aar.
41 And it came to pass at the end of four hundred thirty years, to the day, it came to pass that all the regiments of YHWH went out from the land of Egypt.
Og det skete, der fire Hundrede og tredive Aar vare til Ende, ja det skete lige paa den samme Dag, da udgik alle Herrens Hære af Ægyptens Land.
42 It was a night when YHWH kept vigil to bring them out from the land of Egypt. So on this night all the children of Israel must keep a vigil to YHWH throughout their generations.
Denne er en Nat, som toges i Agt af Herren for at udføre dem af Ægyptens Land; den samme Nat skal tages i Agt for Herren af alle Israels Børn hos deres Efterkommere.
43 And YHWH said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner may eat of it,
Og Herren sagde til Mose og Aron: Denne er Paaskens Skik: Ingen fremmed skal æde deraf.
44 but every man's servant who is bought for money, after you have circumcised him, may he eat of it.
Men enhver Svend, som hører nogen til, og som er købt for Penge, maa, naar du faar omskaaret ham, æde deraf.
45 A foreigner and a hired servant must not eat of it.
Ingen Gæst eller Lejesvend skal æde deraf.
46 It is to be eaten in one house. You must not take any of the meat outside the house, and you are not to break any of its bones.
Det skal ædes i eet Hus, du skal ikke udbære af Kødet udenfor Huset; og I skulle ikke bryde Ben derpaa.
47 All the congregation of Israel is to keep it.
Al Israels Menighed skal gøre det.
48 If a foreigner lives with you and wants to keep the Passover to YHWH, all his males must be circumcised, and then he may take part and observe it, and he will be like one who is born in the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat of it.
Og naar nogen fremmed opholder sig hos dig og vil holde Paaske for Herren, da skal alt hans Mandkøn omskæres, og da maa han have Adgang til at holde den og være som en indfødt i Landet; men ingen, som har Forhud, skal æde deraf.
49 The same law will apply to the native-born and to the foreigner who lives among you."
Der skal være een Lov for den indfødte og for den fremmede, som opholder sig midt iblandt eder.
50 So all the children of Israel did as YHWH commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
Og alle Israels Børn gjorde det; som Herren havde befalet Mose og Aron, saa gjorde de.
51 And it happened on this very day that YHWH brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their regiments.
Og det skete lige paa den samme Dag, at Herren udførte Israels Børn af Ægyptens Land med deres Hære.
