Numbers 4

1 YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:

2 "Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers' houses,

Optag blandt Leviterne Tallet på Kehatiterne efter deres Slægter, efter deres Fædrenehuse,

3 from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all who enter into the service, to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.

fra Trediveårsalderen og opefter til Halvtredsårsalderen, alle, der skal gøre Tjeneste med' at udføre Arbejde ved Åbenbaringsteltet.

4 This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting, the most holy things.

Kehatiternes Arbejde ved Åbenbaringsteltet skal være med de højhellige Ting.

5 When the camp moves forward, Aaron shall go in, and his sons, and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover the ark of the Testimony with it,

Når Lejren bryder op, skal Aron og hans Sønner gå ind og tage det indre Forhæng ned og tildække Vidnesbyrdets Ark dermed;

6 and shall put a covering of sealskin on it, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall put in its poles.

ovenover skal de lægge et Dække af Tahasjskind og derover igen brede et ensfarvet violet Purpurklæde; derpå skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.

7 On the table of show bread they shall spread a blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the spoons, the bowls, and the pitchers for pouring with them; and the continual bread shall be on it.

Og over Skuebrødsbordet skal de brede et violet Purpurklæde og stille Fadene, Kanderne, Skålene og Krukkerne til Drikofferet derpå, og Brødet, som stadig skal ligge fremme, skal ligge derpå;

8 They shall spread on them a scarlet cloth, and cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles.

ovenover skal de brede et karmoisinrødt Klæde og dække dette til med et Dække af Tahasjskind; derpå skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.

9 They shall take a blue cloth, and cover the lampstand of the light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes, and all its oil vessels, with which they minister to it.

Så skal de tage et violet Purpurklæde og dermed tildække Lysestagen, dens Lamper, Sakse, Bakker og alle Oliekrukkerne, de Ting, som bruges ved Betjeningen deraf,

10 They shall put it and all its vessels within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it on the frame.

og de skal lægge den med alt dens Tilbehør i et Dække af Tahasjskind og så lægge det på Bærebøren.

11 On the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles.

Over Guldalteret skal de ligeledes brede et violet Purpurklæde og dække dette til med et Dække af Tahasjskind; derpå skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.

12 They shall take all the vessels of ministry, with which they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a blue cloth, and cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on the frame.

Og de skal tage alle Redskaber, som bruges ved Tjenesten i Helligdommen, og lægge dem i et violet Purpurklæde og dække dem til med et Dække af Tahasjskind og lægge dem på Bærebøren.

13 They shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth on it.

Fremdeles skal de rense Alteret for Aske og brede et rødt Purpurklæde derover

14 They shall put on it all its vessels, with which they minister about it, the fire pans, the flesh hooks, the shovels, and the basins; all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread on it a covering of sealskin, and put in its poles.

og på det lægge alle Redskaberne, som bruges til Tjenesten derved, Panderne, Gaflerne, Skovlene og Skålene, alle Alterets Redskaber, og derover skal de brede et Dække af Tahasjskind; derpå skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.

15 "When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary, and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp moves forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to carry it: but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting.

Når så ved Lejrens Opbrud Aron og hans Sønner er færdige med at tilhylle de hellige Ting og alle de hellige Redskaber, skal Kehatiterne træde til og bære dem; men de må ikke røre ved de hellige Ting; thi gør de det, skal de dø. Det er, hvad Kehatiterne skal bære af Åbenbaringsteltet.

16 "The duty of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the light, the sweet incense, the continual meal offering, and the anointing oil, the requirements of all the tabernacle, and of all that is in it, the sanctuary, and its furnishings."

Med Eleazar, Præsten Arons Søn, påhviler Tilsynet med Olien til Lysestagen, den vellugtende Røgelse, det daglige Afgrødeoffer og Salveolien og desuden Tilsynet med hele Boligen og alt, hvad der er deri af hellige Ting og deres Tilbehør.

17 YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:

18 "Do not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites;

Sørg for, at Kehatiternes Slægters Stamme ikke udryddes af Leviternes Midte!

19 but thus do to them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach to the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them everyone to his service and to his burden;

Således skal I forholde eder med dem, for at de kan blive i Live og undgå Døden, når de nærmer sig de højhellige Ting: Aron og hans Sønner skal træde til og anvise hver enkelt af dem, hvad han skal gøre, og hvad han skal bære,

20 but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die."

for at de ikke et eneste Øjeblik skal komme til at se de hellige Ting; thi gør de det, skal de dø.

21 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:

22 "Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers' houses, by their families;

Optag også Tallet på Gersoniterne efter deres Fædrenehuse, efter deres Slægter;

23 you shall count them from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old; all who enter in to wait on the service, to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.

fra Trediveårsalderen og opefter til Halvtredsårsalderen skal du mønstre dem, alle, der skal gøre Tjeneste med at udføre Arbejdet ved Åbenbaringsteltet.

24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens:

Dette er Gersoniternes Arbejde, hvad de skal gøre, og hvad de skal bære

25 they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the Tent of Meeting, its covering, and the covering of sealskin that is above on it, and the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,

De skal bære Boligens Tæpper, Åbenbaringsteltet med dets Dække og Dækket af Tahasjskind ovenover, Forhænget til Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang,

26 and the tapestries of the court, and the screen for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and around the altar, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and whatever shall be done with them. So they are to serve.

Forgårdens Omhæng og Forhænget for Indgangen til Forgården, der er rundt om Boligen og Alteret, dens Teltreb og alle Redskaber, som hører til Arbejdet derved; og alt, hvad der skal gøres derved, skal de udføre.

27 At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden, and in all their service; and you shall appoint their duty to them in all their responsibilities.

Efter Arons og hans Sønners Bud skal Gersoniterne udføre deres Arbejde både med det, de skal bære, og med det, de skal gøre; og I skal anvise dem alt, hvad de skal bære, Stykke for Stykke.

28 This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the Tent of Meeting: and their duty shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

Det er det Arbejde, Gersoniternes Sønners Slægter skal have ved Åbenbaringsteltet, og de skal varetage det under Itamars, Præsten Arons Søns, Tilsyn.

29 "As for the sons of Merari, you shall number them by their families, by their fathers' houses;

Merariterne skal du mønstre efter deres Slægter, efter deres Fædrenehuse;

30 you shall count them from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who enters on the service, to do the work of the Tent of Meeting.

fra Trediveårsalderen og opefter til Halvtredsårsalderen skal du mønstre dem, alle, som skal gøre Tjeneste med at udføre Arbejde ved Åbenbaringsteltet.

31 This is the duty of their burden, according to all their service in the Tent of Meeting: the tabernacle's boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,

Dette er, hvad der påhviler dem at bære, alt, hvad der hører til deres Arbejde ved Åbenbaringsteltet: Boligens Brædder, dens Tværstænger, Piller og Fodstykker,

32 and the pillars of the court around it, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name you shall appoint the instruments of the duty of their burden.

Pillerne til Forgården, som er rundt om den, med Fodstykker, Pæle og Reb, alle tilhørende Redskaber og alt, hvad der hører til Arbejdet derved; Stykke for Stykke skal I anvise dem alle de Ting, det påhviler dem at bære.

33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the Tent of Meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest."

Det er det Arbejde, der påhviler Merariternes Slægter, alt, hvad der hører til deres Arbejde ved Åbenbaringsteltet, under Itamars, Præsten Arons Søns, Tilsyn.

34 Moses and Aaron and the leaders of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families, and by their fathers' houses,

Så mønstrede Moses og Aron og Menighedens Øverster Kehatiternes Sønner efter deres Slægter, efter deres Fædrenehuse,

35 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered into the service, for work in the Tent of Meeting.

fra Trediveårsalderen og opefter til Halvtredsårsalderen, alle, som skulde gøre Tjeneste med at udføre Arbejde ved Åbenbaringsteltet,

36 Those who were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred fifty.

og de, der mønstredes af dem efter deres Slægter, udgjorde 2750.

37 These are those who were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all who served in the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of YHWH by Moses.

47 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, everyone who entered in to do the work of service, and the work of bearing burdens in the Tent of Meeting,

fra Trediveårsalderen og opefter til Halvtreds års alderen, alle, som skulde udføre Arbejde ved Åbenbaringsteltet både med hvad der skulde gøres, og hvad der skulde bæres,

48 even those who were numbered of them, were eight thousand five hundred eighty.

de, der mønstredes af dem, udgjorde 8580.

49 According to the commandment of YHWH they were numbered by Moses, everyone according to his service, and according to his burden. Thus were they numbered by him, as YHWH commanded Moses.

Efter HERRENs Bud ved Moses anviste man hver enkelt af dem, hvad han skulde gøre eller bære; det blev dem anvist, som HERREN havde pålagt Moses.
