Exodus 12
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Derpaa talede HERREN til Moses og Aron i Ægypten og sagde:
2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
»Denne Maaned skal hos eder være Begyndelsesmaaneden, den skal hos eder være den første af Aarets Maaneder.
3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth [day] of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for an household:
Tal til hele Israels Menighed og sig: Paa den tiende Dag i denne Maaned skal hver Familiefader tage et Lam, et Lam for hver Familie.
4 and if the household be too little for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbour next unto his house take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man’s eating ye shall make your count for the lamb.
Og dersom en Familie er for lille til et Lam, skal han sammen med sin nærmeste Nabo tage et Lam, svarende til Personernes Antal; hvor mange der skal være om et Lam, skal I beregne efter, hvad hver enkelt kan spise.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:
Det skal være et lydefrit, aargammelt Handyr, og I kan tage det enten blandt Faarene eller Gederne.
6 and ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at even.
I skal have det gaaende til den fjortende Dag i denne Maaned, og hele Israels Menigheds Forsamling skal slagte det ved Aftenstid.
7 And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side posts and on the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat it.
Og de skal tage noget af Blodet og stryge det paa de to Dørstolper og Overliggeren i de Huse, hvor I spiser det.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
I skal spise Kødet samme Nat, stegt over Ilden, og I skal spise usyret Brød og bitre Urter dertil.
9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with the inwards thereof.
I maa ikke spise noget deraf raat eller kogt i Vand, men kun stegt over Ilden, og Hoved, Ben og Indmad maa ikke være skilt fra.
10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
I maa intet levne deraf til næste Morgen, men hvad der bliver tilovers deraf til næste Morgen, skal I brænde.
11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand: and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’S passover,
Og naar I spiser det, skal I have Bælte om Lænden, Sko paa Fødderne og Stav i Haanden, og I skal spise det i største Hast. Det er Paaske for HERREN.
12 For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD.
I denne Nat vil jeg drage igennem Ægypten og ihjelslaa alt det førstefødte i Ægypten baade blandt Folk og Fæ; og over alle Ægyptens Guder vil jeg holde Dom. Jeg er HERREN!
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
Men for eder skal Blodet paa Husene, hvor I er, tjene som Tegn, og jeg vil se Blodet og gaa eder forbi; intet ødelæggende Slag skal ramme eder, naar jeg slaar Ægypten.
14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD: throughout your generations ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
Denne Dag skal være eder en Mindedag, og I skal fejre den som en Højtid for HERREN, Slægt efter Slægt; som en evig gyldig Ordning skal I fejre den.
15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
I syv Dage skal I spise usyret Brød. Straks den første Dag skal I skaffe al Surdejg bort af eders Huse; thi hver den, som spiser noget syret fra den første til den syvende Dag, det Menneske skal udryddes af Israel.
16 And in the first day there shall be to you an holy convocation, and in the seventh day an holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
Paa den første Dag skal I holde Højtidsstævne og ligeledes paa den syvende Dag. Intet Arbejde maa udføres paa dem; kun det, enhver behøver til Føde, det og intet andet maa I tilberede.
17 And ye shall observe the [feast of] unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance for ever.
I skal holde det usyrede Brøds Højtid, thi paa denne selv samme Dag førte jeg eders Hærskarer ud af Ægypten, derfor skal I højtideligholde denne Dag i alle kommende Slægtled som en evig gyldig Ordning.
18 In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
Paa den fjortende Dag i den første Maaned om Aftenen skal I spise usyret Brød og vedblive dermed indtil Maanedens en og tyvende Dag om Aftenen.
19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or one that is born in the land.
I syv Dage maa der ikke findes Surdejg i eders Huse, thi hver den, som spiser noget syret, det Menneske skal udryddes af Israels Menighed, de fremmede saa vel som de indfødte i Landet.
20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
I maa ikke nyde noget som helst syret; hvor I end bor, skal I spise usyret Brød.«
21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out, and take you lambs according to your families, and kill the passover.
Da kaldte Moses alle Israels Ældste sammen og sagde til dem: »Gaa ud og hent eder Smaakvæg til eders Familier og slagt Paaskeofferet;
22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
og tag eder Ysopkoste, dyp dem i Blodet i Fadet og stryg noget deraf paa Overliggeren og de to Dørstolper; og ingen af eder maa gaa ud af sin Husdør før i Morgen.
23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
Thi HERREN vil gaa omkring og slaa Ægypterne, og naar han da ser Blodet paa Overliggeren og de to Dørstolper, vil han gaa Døren forbi og ikke give Ødelæggeren Adgang til eders Huse for at slaa eder.
24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
Dette skal I varetage som en Anordning, der gælder for dig og dine Børn til evig Tid.
25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
Og naar I kommer til det Land, HERREN vil give eder, saaledes som han har forjættet, saa skal I overholde denne Skik.
26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
Naar da eders Børn spørger eder: Hvad betyder den Skik, I der har?
27 that ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD’S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
saa skal I svare: Det er Paaskeoffer for HERREN, fordi han gik Israeliternes Huse forbi i Ægypten, dengang han slog Ægypterne, men lod vore Huse urørte!« Da bøjede Folket sig og tilbad.
28 And the children of Israel went and did so; as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Og Israeliterne gik hen og gjorde, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses og Aron.
29 And it came to pass at midnight, that the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
Men ved Midnatstid ihjelslog HERREN alle de førstefødte i Ægypten lige fra Faraos førstefødte, der skulde arve hans Trone, til den førstefødte hos Fangen, der sad i Fangehullet, og alt det førstefødte af Kvæget.
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
Da stod Farao op om Natten tillige med alle sine Tjenere og alle Ægypterne, og der lød et højt Klageskrig i Ægypten, thi der var intet Hus, hvor der ikke fandtes en død.
31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
Og han lod Moses og Aron kalde om Natten og sagde: »Bryd op og drag bort fra mit Folk, I selv og alle Israeliterne, og drag ud og dyrk HERREN, som I har forlangt.
32 Take both your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
Tag ogsaa eders Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg med, som I har forlangt, og drag bort; og bed ogsaa om Velsignelse for mig!«
33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
Og Ægypterne trængte paa Folket for at paaskynde deres Afrejse fra Landet, thi de sagde: »Vi mister alle Livet!«
34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
Og Folket tog deres Dejg med sig, før den var syret, og de bar Dejgtrugene paa Skulderen, indsvøbte i deres Kapper.
35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
Men Israeliterne havde gjort, som Moses havde sagt, og bedt Ægypterne om Sølv og Guldsmykker og om Klæder;
36 and the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
og HERREN havde stemt Ægypterne gunstigt mod Folket, saa de havde givet dem, hvad de bad om. Saaledes tog de Bytte fra Ægypterne.
37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
Saa brød Israeliterne op fra Ra'meses til Sukkot, henved 600 000 Mand til Fods foruden Kvinder og Børn.
38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
Desuden fulgte en stor Hob sammenløbet Folk med og dertil Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg, en vældig Mængde Kvæg.
39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
Og af den Dejg, de havde bragt med fra Ægypten, bagte de usyret Brød; den var nemlig ikke syret, de var jo drevet ud af Ægypten uden at faa Tid til noget; de havde ikke engang tilberedt sig Tæring til Rejsen.
40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, which they sojourned in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
Den Tid, Israeliterne havde boet i Ægypten, udgjorde 430 Aar.
41 And it came to pass at the end of four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
Netop paa den Dag da de 430 Aar var til Ende, drog alle HERRENS Hærskarer ud af Ægypten.
42 It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD, to be much observed of all the children of Israel throughout their generations.
En Vaagenat var det for HERREN, i hvilken han vilde føre dem ud af Ægypten. Den Nat er viet HERREN, en Vaagenat for alle Israeliterne, Slægt efter Slægt.
43 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: there shall no alien eat thereof:
HERREN sagde til Moses og Aron: »Dette er Ordningen angaaende Paaskelammet: Ingen fremmed maa spise deraf.
44 but every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
Men enhver Træl, der er købt for Penge, maa spise deraf, saafremt du har faaet ham omskaaret.
45 A sojourner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
Ingen indvandret eller Daglejer maa spise deraf.
46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
Det skal spises i et og samme Hus, og intet af Kødet maa bringes ud af Huset; I maa ikke sønderbryde dets Ben.
47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
Hele Israels Menighed skal fejre Paasken.
48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
Dersom en fremmed bor som Gæst hos dig og vil fejre Paaske for HERREN, da skal alle af Mandkøn hos ham omskæres; saa maa han være med til at fejre den, og han skal være ligestillet med den indfødte i Landet; men ingen uomskaaren maa spise deraf.
49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
En og samme Lov skal gælde for den indfødte i Landet og for den fremmede, der bor som Gæst hos eder.«
50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Og Israeliterne gjorde, som HERREN havde paalagt Moses og Aron.
51 And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.
Paa denne selv samme Dag førte HERREN Israeliterne ud af Ægypten, Hærskare for Hærskare.
